Whitmore+Jackson in The Vale of Glamorgan

What a lovely brunch. Good quality ingredients well presented. Would highly recommend a visit. Will definitely be coming back here.

I wanted chips on the seafront, which I'm sure would have been lovely, but my husband chose here. So glad he did. Honestly the best tuna melt I have ever had. Usually tuna melts are more about the bread but this was not. Lots of tuna, seeded bread was lush. Salad and crisps too. Absolutely gorgeous. Staff are really friendly. Very busy but not a long wait for food. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. Thank you!

Always great to see David and the team ! Food is always amazing and well priced too

Food and service very nice as usual

False advertising if we where in America u wouldn't say so mutch but we are in Wales when they say with chips you expect chips not crisps and eating a jacket potato out of a bowl wasent the best idea it was difficult to eat.

We popped in after being turned away from another place ( for breakfast) well there loss and our gain as we were made to feel very welcome, The food was well presented and delicious. Staff very friendly, Loved it

Fairly generic food, nothing special. Prices are about right. Service quite slow.

Got a table straight away, food very good, great service with a smile

The food was nice and you get good sized portions. The male server was really nice and friendly. We came in on a tuesday and like I said the male server was lovely, helpful and really friendly. BUT the 2 female servers were grumpy, unfriendly and not an asset to your business. They both let the side down. Our whole group felt they were rude and they didn’t smile, say very much or smile. They didn’t look like they wanted to be there or like they knew what customer service was. Was a real shame because the food was really nice.

Very tasty breakfast. Nice hot coffee. Staff were pleasant. We had the big breakfast - lots of food. We were so full! There is street parking.

Popped in for breakfast. Staff were polite, and food was amazing. Ordered large breakfast and enjoyed every bite.

Just amazing …..as usual ! Excellent friendly service , top quality food, very good price point. Regularly call in for coffee n cake or coffee and food after walking the dog , simply can’t fault it, salad beautifully fresh and so much packed into the bowl . Piping hot food , always service with a smile

Often pop in for some lunch at whitemore, the staff food and service are always spot on 👍

Fab breakfast and great views, staff friendly Popped in for lunch and what a superb meal chicken tikka panini to die for and of course cake very very nice

A very nice breakfast and usual.

Great place, great food , visited 1st July for breakfast. Service great. Welcome dogs. Perfect.

Fantastic food and lower than anticipated prices considering it's on the sea front

Always very welcoming to me and my dog, and really tasty food and drink.

but with plenty of tables inside and out. Food looked good for what we saw. Only nipped in for a refreshing coffee and couldn't find fault with those. Order, give table number and they bring it over when prepared.

9.am Saturday Morning...Went in to have breakfast after a long drive. What a fab breakfast!! (Sorry was so busy enjoying it forgot to take pics) Standard English - Sausage mushrooms egg (however you wanted it) bacon hash browns a nice chunk of warm buttered sourdough bread and a (large!) tea. No problem swapping items out..(because beans just don't belong on a breakfast)...Delivered to our table in under 10 mins. Great way to start the day. If we're ever back in Barry, we'll be back!

Nice place for a coffee and a snack. Breakfast waffles were good.

Food was beautiful, staff were lovely and great prices

Lovely stop here today on a cycle ride!! Very busy as a sunny day. However, service was quick. I had a yummy Sausage & Bacon roll while the others had cake. Friendly staff would definitely recommend and return. Thank you

We had lunch here recently and thoroughly enjoyed it! We both had the chicken and mayonnaise sandwich on sourdough and it was absolutely delicious. It came with a side serve of crisps, coleslaw and salad. Such great value for money too! 10/10. Highly recommend!

Excellent service. Great staff.

Absolutely lovely breakfast today. Best I've had for ages

Great place to eat drink.goid menu and coffees

Absolutely wonderful, we only went in for coffee & snacks, but well worth it. I was treated very professionally. I am dairy free, not through choice, but a lot of cafes don't treat me respectfully. I was even offered dairy free spread for my teacake, that has never happened before and when I went to praise the owner his reply, "Its not rocket science" is so correct. Staff are lovely. Thank you all. Definitely recommend

Nice little cafe, good food and coffee.

Absolutely love this place, never had a bad experience here, the food is amazing and my dog Nigel is always welcome!

We go to this place often on Saturdays, it's busy but worth it 👌 the sausages are fantastic and so is the latte 😋 reasonably priced too and super dog friendly.

The best coffee and breakfast at Barry Island without a shadow of a doubt. My daughter said the waffles are like biting in to a fluffy cloud😍. Add to that the fact that it is dog friendly and that’s a double win!!

Very friendly staff and greeted as we came in. Food arrived a bit quicker than our drinks. The sauces and shelves were spotlessly clean, but the saarachia sauce bottles weren't great. Will definitely be back.

Good food at good prices! I really recommend the breakfast. My only issue is that it's quite crammed in there and really difficult to get the pram in. And when you are at your table it's in everyone's way

Excellent dog friendly breakfast joint. The servings were huge and full of good things - vegetarian breakfast had 2 of everything so would be easy to share! The coffee was good too!

Had to send my breakfast back as it was all cold. When it was returned to me he said it’s fine now as he heated it in the microwave. Egg was hard and looked like plastic the rest was so dry. My daughter ordered a Panini when received had sesame seeds all over it,It didn’t say on the menu that it was seated bread, and weren’t asked if we had any allergies, I know it’s the responsibility of the person but it’s just courtesy to check. Server just said oh well and walked off. It was a very busy Sunday,guess it was an off day for all but £40 on breakfast that we couldn’t eat.

Delicious and huge afternoon tea. Lovely staff and cosy atmosphere. We will come again

Visited this beautiful dog friendly cafe today and the food was the best ive tasted. Great place and fantastic quality food. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommended and will definitely be back soon *****

Food OK, slightly over priced for what it is

Best fry up on Barry Island 👍 Dog friendly, however expect a long list of dog rules when you arrive. As long as you have a well behaved dog you'll be ok.

WiFi doesn't work. Music is super loud, so hard to hold a conversation. My order was wrong, but the lady did change it & apologise. You have to order at the counter & collect your own cutlery, but it is dog friendly.

We enjoyed an excellent freshly cooked breakfast on a grey December day. A full English with tasty butchers sausages and bacon. Good coffee too! Friendly helpful service in nice surroundings with a sea view.

Best breakfast on the island and dog friendly!!!

Great place. Great services. Fast delivery of the order. Really happy to have gone.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious but very expensive £17.80 for one breakfast and a cup of tea.

Breakfast was delicious but very expensive £17.90 for one breakfast and one cup of coffee. Food is of good quality though.

Lovely food in a lovely environment. Easy access as we took our parents who gave mobility issues, but just across from the disabled parking zone… they loved it! All day breakfast and coffee were fab. We can also recommend the ham salad bowl! Staff were lovely and spoke with us regularly. A really nice place to visit for a bite to eat and a drink, whilst taking a walk down the island.

Visited twice on day trip to Barry Island. Lovely lunch and then hot chocolate later in the afternoon. Very dog friendly and very reasonable price.

Dirty tables, customers with dogs on seats next to tables. Barking dogs on opposite table disrupting our conversation. I love dogs and have a well behaved one myself. Personally I don't let my dog on furniture but understand some people do AT HOME, but for a cafe to let dogs on seats I think it's unhygienic. Wouldn't matter so much if I had seen any attempt by staff to clean anywhere. Not very good value compared to other cafes I frequent.

This is a great eatery, really lovely environment, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Lush sea views! Fantastic staff and excellent food. Working in Barry over the summer and this fast became my favourite place to have brunch, lunch and get much needed refreshments. Love the frappes! Vegetarian and Vegan options. Love the sourdough sandwiches! Amazing cakes! Most of all the staff make this place because they are super relaxed but offer a first class service.

Lovely rustic beach cafe, had the full breakfast which was beautiful, and plenty, couldn't finish it all!! The staff were lovely, I highly recommend a visit 5*

Lovely bread, generally nice ingredients. Probably the best breakfast in Barry. Probably 🙄

Food really tasty, staff friendly, lovely chilled vibe. Everything arrived quickly, good sized portions. Slight issues with the order (wasn't quite right) plus the coffee barely tasted of coffee, which was a disappointment. Otherwise pretty good.

Can't go wrong, decent breakfast with fresh butcher meat

We enjoyed our visit here. The service was good and the food was lovely. Special mention to Aimee. :)

Leckeres Frühstück. Große Auswahl und gute Portionen. Man kann fast den Vergnügungspark hinter sich vergessen

Lovely lunch. We had the paninis great choice, nice fresh salad and coleslaw. Good portion. The milkshakes are awesome too! Very reasonable priced, didn't have to wait too long either! Would definitely recommend.

We came here for Afternoon tea to celebrate our grandchildrens GCSE results and graduation from University. The food was excellent and they catered for one gluten free which was outstanding .

Best Gluten Free breakfast ever! Highly recommend.

Fantastic panini on the island. Would definitely recommend 😋

Fantastic service, had a panini and it was amazing would recommend 👍

The food and customer service was excellent. Was a delay with some of the food, and they were very apologetic about it and offered my wife and I a complimentary hot drink each to apologise. They then also refunded the breakfast I had as they felt it wasn't a good thing that I ate alone while my wife and kids waited. In summary, food excellent, customer service excellent. A little delay on this occasion.

I am GF and based on previous Trip Advisor reviews I went to Whitmore+Jackson for Breakfast/ Brunch with my 2YO, and family. On arrival it was fairly busy, but the waiter directed us to a choice of tables, and was pleasant. The menu insinuated GF options/ variants, but when I checked with the staff, I was given fully reassurances, on an item by item basis!! Sausages and Hashbrowns were not GF alternative, but were GF on all breakfasts, I just informed the waitress taking the order that I was GF for the chef to be aware (which I do even if ordering off a GF menu!) I had one of the nicest all-day-breakfasts with good quality GF bread. Prices were reasonable coming in at sub £40 for 4xmeals and drinks. I didn't ask for a childs menu as my LB wanted a jacket potato, there wasn't one clearly visible, nor was I asked if I wanted one (but I find that is the standard in most cafe-type eateries!). There were baby seats available, but we gave these up some time ago! The pews/ benches in some areas were high in relation to the table, which was great for my LB and other small children we saw.

really nice atmosphere, good selection of food and great quality, presented well. The menu is available as gluten free and dairy free which is fantastic quality. We came back later for a coffee and cake and the selection was brilliant. Keep up the good work :)

Lovely place with friendly, helpful staff. Dogs were allowed in and welcomed. Food was delicious, reasonably priced and came out really quickly.

Husband and I were staying at the Premier Inn. Neither of us are fans of buffet breakfast so we walked to Whitmore and Jackson for brekky ( we’ve eaten here before so knew it was good. It’s also half the price of a PI breakfast, decent coffee. ( latte is lovely) and the food is hot, hot, hot and freshly cooked Absolutely no complaints at all and highly recommend if you’re in the area that this is where you go for a generous, good quality, hot breakfast

Bought an afternoon tea as a Xmas present for my mother, tried booking for over 2 weeks without success phone line just ringing out. Sent a message via messenger automatic response back saying to book afternoon tea etc phone the number below the same number we've been trying for the last 2 weeks! Don't live local so decided to visit the shop to see if they were still open, in which they were. When mentioning we have been trying to phone to book an afternoon tea the guy rudely responded as well yes we are too busy to answer the phone as u can see, opened the till and slapped 40 pound in my mother's hand as a refund!!! Oh my gosh, very rude and abrupt man, have always came here for our afternoon teas but after that response today we won't be returning. Disgusting

Excellent location and a plentiful supply of patrons. This coffee shop cafe type establishment leaves a bit to be desired. I get that they’re busy but tables were grotty everywhere. Plates of half eaten food and cups on all the tables. We found a seat and cleared the table ourselves. Inside it’s not much better with ample staff to keep on top of the mess but seemingly oblivious. We ordered drinks and sat outside in the sunshine and watched the world go by. This place was busy but then again everywhere was busy. A small investment in service and it would be even busier.

Visit on a cold, frosty and windy morning. The breakfast was excellent with good quality sausage and bacon, coffee really good, staff friendly and helpful and it's dog friendly. Recommended!

As well as being a great café with friendly staff and great service, they can adapt most meals to make them gluten free (or offer an alternative). They also stock an array of tasty gluten free cakes. A real asset, and a pleasure to visit when on Barry Island

Always go here when I’m meeting my friends for coffee and a catch up. Sat outside this time as it was a lovely sunny day. Coffee and cake was a good price as well. Staff friendly. The only downside was the most of the tables...

We called in to this quirky little restaurant/Bistro/Cafe, with our two dogs for a hot drink, when we saw the food being served we decided to stay and have brunch. The food was very hot, delicious and a lot of it. The staff were attentive...

On a day trip to Barry i called in for a cup of coffee which i enjoyed very much and thought it was extremley good value

We both had the eggs royal (Poached eggs with smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce on sourdough toast) and the eggs were perfectly cooked, the toast easy to cut, which sourdough often is not, and the coffee was excellent. The only issue was that the menu...

Fantastic food and amazing service!!!! Highly recommended calling in for a breakfast if your around this area!! Best breakfast I've had

While staying in Barry Island for the bank holiday weekend we had breakfast here every day. Food was always good, with something for everyone to choose from. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

I went with my daughter for the first time today. I had the all day breakfast which was one of the best I have ever eaten. The sausage and bacon cooked perfectly were clearly very high quality and tasted delicious. Lovely thick sourdough toast came...

It's always a pleasure to come back here! Full English breakfast nice and fresh and the cakes were delicious! 5 stars to the staff!

Myself and my family visited Barry island and our first stop was to W&Js. The service was professional and friendly and the food and drinks were perfect. On our way home we stopped off again however the shop was closing. We asked could we use...

I’m never one to leave a bad review but a review of honest criticism is needed. Positives Great service, very attentive staff, lovely coffee and oatly oat milk! Negatives It has to be said that being a chef I could tell all the food was...

Great service, great coffee and amazing choice of cakes which are delicious- would highly recommend a visit

Food is lovely , as is the coffee . What let’s this place down in my opinion is allowing dogs to sit up to the tables ! There is a dog friendly section , fine , but keep the dogs on the floor !!! This...

Best flat white I’ve ever tasted. Cool vibe, friendly staff. Top quality, very reasonable prices (particularly if you’re from the South East!)

Had gluten free and vegan options available for their breakfast and their cakes. They had milk alternatives as well. The poached eggs were delicious and their gluten free bread was some of the best I've had in a cafe. Good coffee and friendly staff.

We popped in for a drink it’s a pleasant place staff was good and efficient we had a table outside with a nice view of the ocean

Great little find for lunch, right on sea front, quick service and food quality was very good. I couldn’t finish all my lunch as too much. Very enjoyable and amazing prices for what you get. Highly recommend.

Whitmore and Jackson always make a fab brekkie which is good value for the area. Only suggestion would be with the waffles being so big, another slice or two of bacon is needed. I recommend to everyone visiting the area.

I was super impressed my this lovely lunch spot! I had to try one of they’re panini’s and chocolate milkshakes and it was delicious. Perfect spot for all the family:)

Go there for breakfast often, always superb. Highly recommend it if you are in Barry, the best cafe on the island. Even the veggie breakfast is great.

We came here for breakfast on Tuesday 13th July at 10am. It was a bit busy but staff were very attentive, polite and friendly. We had Ham and Mushroom Omlette, Full English Breakfast, a cup of Berry tea and a can of coke. It was 15.30 £... Absolutely lovely. Hot, fresh and cheap. Highly recommended.

Called in today for a drink, first visit. Only beers on draught were lagers, the only bottled beer was Peroni. Ordered Peroni and Cabernet Sauvignon White wine' Wine was undrinkable, beer was served in the bottle, no glass was offered,Will not be returning

There was 14 adults all arriving at Barry seafront and I needed to sort out lunch for them all. One quick phone call earlier in the week and a deposit paid over the phone we had 7 grazing boxes ready and waiting for us at 13.30 ish on Saturday Each box was more than enough for a couple to share and everyone in the group said they were delicious We managed to get a seat for everyone outside and the teas and coffees that we ordered were served lovely and hot and quickly.Fabulous food, fabulous service Thank you so much for making our lunch perfect

Stunning afternoon tea. Fresh sandwiches, home made scones, cakes and dessert. Could not recommend high enough! Will be back.

Brilliant, no fuss cafe. Overlooking the sea, nice outside seating area, but also plenty of seating indoors. Food was delicious, hot and freshly prepared. Highly recommend

A no nonsense, well presented and good value breakfast was had at this unpretentious cafe with a sea view. Well done - although you could put less water in the americano coffee, but that is down to personal taste!

Visit to Barry Island while on holiday and we decided to stop for a bite to eat. We all ordered Paninis, the came toasted which was a nice surprise. The were tasty and a nice alternative. The weather was great and we sat on the pavement outside and watched the world go by.

We live locally and are regular customers of W+J. The staff are warm, friendly and the food is good, honest fare, with fresh hearty salads and great selection of breakfasts and light meals. Smaller menu after lockdown but the venue still very busy and super safe. Great coffee! Would recommend

Great place to meet up with friends Good menu selection even though they have currently got a limited menu. Good service and dog friendly

A really good value for money breakfast . Food was fresh , tasty and well presented. The coffee was amazing and the best on our holiday in Wales. The only small items to improve is to provide sugar and something to stir with and had to ask twice for cutlery. Very covid secure as well.

Took my daughter here for afternoon tea. The place does look a little run down from the outside and the toilet flush was broken which wasn't ideal, however, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the tea itself was lovely. I had booked for a table outside due to Covid, but it was so hot that I didn't want my grandaughter sitting in the sun while we eat. The staff were very accommodating and found us a large table on our own in a corner so I felt quite safe. They were participating in the Government's Eat Out scheme too, so while they were not doing children's afternoon teas due to a limited menu (I assume due to Covid) everything was incredibly cheap! We couldn't finish it all and we're duly supplied with boxes to take the rest home!
