The best restaurants in Castleland The Vale of Glamorgan South East

I have been here for two themed nights and worth every penny - New Year’s Eve, 7 course dinner, valentines special 5 course dinner and Sunday lunch which has a choice of 1, 2 or 3 courses all of which are amazing value for money. I am so impressed with the quality of the food, it is outstanding and delicious, thoroughly recommended 💯. There is nothing else like it in Barry, a real hidden gem. All needs are catered for, the valentines special, I asked for a different sauce than advertised for my steak and my god, my Diane sauce was the best I have ever tasted 🫶🏻👌🏻. Staff are super lovely and attentive. The entertainment is brilliant on themed nights, all I ask is a bit more space for dancing haha! (I know this can’t be done unless you push the tables to one side 🤣) Nothing negative to say at all will continue to eat here and to recommend this place to everyone I know. I am really looking forward to returning for the steak club and themed nights i am interested in! 10/10 from me 👌🏻

Absolutely superb. You must visit here you will not be disappointed. We were a party of 9 and the service, quality of food and all round experience was amazing. Please keep it up, we will be back

Really well family based cafe / takeaway. Tasty, fresh food home cooked and very very reasonably priced, highly recommended

Bought 2 x fish n chips n curry sauce. Good sized pieces, lovely crispy batter , plenty of chips & good portion of tasty curry sauce. Only issue was that there were a few bones in the one piece. It is our go-to chip shop from now one. Lovely chap too. November 27th 2024.

Atlantic Cafe is great to use both as a takeaway and to visit for a meal on site. The food is always top notch, (I.e. the bacon is not fatty or thin etc), the food is cooked properly and you don't pay over the odds for it. I recommend this cafe to friends as I know it's good.

Menu has drastically changed and not for the better. Prices have gone up and you get less for it which is annoying because you can’t have it both ways Caesers. Big veggie breakfast is no longer on the menu. You used to get tomatoes and beans but now you have to choose. This morning my husband had the big breakfast but no halloumi or mushrooms. Small breakfast doesn’t come with toast anymore. This menu change and price increase has obviously affected the older folks who we’d see regularly. The other thing that bugs me is serving tea in tall glasses. What’s wrong with cups or mugs. We’ll be going somewhere else from now on sorry to say.

Just ordered look after your loyal customers

You will not find anything like this in Barry. The flavours and quality of the food is out of this world. I would highly recommend Jack’s for all occasions whether it be for date night or birthdays for the 3 course meal or just for a little bite, you will not be disappointed. The chef and staff are very attentive and nothing is to much hassle. Amazing food for such a small price.

Think I've reviewed before on another platform but been in barry 6 months and consistently great, so wanted to review for another thank you! Alway hot, non greasy, and best onion bargees in South Wales!

Went their yesterday the guy was super friendly I’m fussy and he made me what I wanted and wow the jacket potato was amazing and the chicken tikka is the best and I got loads of salad and pasta with it well worth £5.50 for a meal deal will 100% go again

Ordered large fish and chips but looked like a small fish and the chips looked like they had been cooked hours earlier, disappointed 😞

Worst chow mein I have ever had . Only ordered because new kwon shan closed on Monday and Tuesday. Next time I will wait .

Amazing food and fabulous price. Lovely staff. Really attentive and approachable. Would highly recommend

Atlantic Café in Barry has a reputation as a classic greasy spoon – popular among locals for its hearty breakfasts, builders’ tea, and big plates that promise to keep you full for hours. Unfortunately, my experience there fell far short of the café’s reputation. Right from the start, the service was disappointingly slow, with a 35-40 minute wait for food. During that time, other customers who arrived well after us were served first, which left us feeling overlooked and frustrated. The cutlery and teacup provided were noticeably dirty, which was off-putting. Adding to the discomfort, there was loud shouting and singing coming from the kitchen, which even led some customers to call out for the staff to tone it down. This atmosphere made the experience feel more about the staff than about the customers, and I felt out of place and uncomfortable throughout my visit. Adding to the chaos, the server was audibly complaining about their early start and workload, creating an atmosphere that was anything but inviting. The walls, too, weren’t well maintained, with food splatters visibly marking them. I wasn’t expecting fine dining, but I did hope for a clean, calm environment with friendly service and good, honest food. When my meal finally arrived, my jacket potato was missing its promised salad, which only added to the overall disappointment. I had hoped for a positive experience, but sadly, from start to finish, it was a letdown.
