The Three Horseshoes in The Vale of Glamorgan

This pub has been bought by the villagers. It’s is wonderful in so many ways. Cowbridge seems to be a black hole of decent food aside from the hare and hounds and maple and bean. This felt like a proper community pub in the 90s. The staff were all amazing. The food was amazing. There wasn’t a 400% markup on rubbish wine. The service as great. The atmosphere was lovely. Great starters of crab and squid were followed by perfectly cooked steak. The doughnuts with custard cream and strawberries were lovely. No rip off frozen food or “small plates” that nobody likes here. Go and support places like this. The rest of cowbridge eateries need to up their game.

I have been here quite a few times with friends. It's a lovely place with a very well stocked shop if you are looking for special food and drink items for a treat. I have always enjoyed the food in the cafe, but this time I was sadly disappointed. I ordered the spiced lamb. I asked if it would be well done when I ordered and was told it would be. The flavour of the dish was delicious, but although the lamb was of very good quality it wasn't cooked enough which left the fat on it very chewy. I don't mind the fattier cuts of lamb if they are cooked enough to be either soft or crispy but chewy is not good. I didn't send it back because having to do that ruins my experience anyway.

2nd visit to Penarth and the windsor restaurant and tea rooms. Welcoming, friendly and food great. Pity I couldn't fit in dessert they looked lush.

We have been visiting the Casa Paco restaurant for a few years. Each meal is better than the last and we’re always made to feel welcome. The meals are consistently high standard, I can’t wait to go again. We had many deliveries in lockdown and they were always piping hot and fresh. Karen and the team are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for us. My favourite it the fillet steak and Rossini sauce - highly recommend!

Is ok , sometimes staff good , other times not so much.However , the main point is this has got to be the earliest closing fish and chip shop in Wales if not the whole of the UK!
