The best restaurants in The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Visited Costa Coffee Barry Waterfront this afternoon. Nice place, lovely and clean. Was very busy today but the 2 young girls behind the counter were very pleasant, helpful and professional. I think one was called Faith. The coffee and toasty i had was delicious if a little pricey. I will definitely visit again.

Love the parmesan chicken, the chips and aaaaallllll the sauces. Always delicious.

Basic little cafe serving teas, coffee, cakes, sandwiches etc. Situated in the car park of a stunning stretch of the Heritage Coast. A beautiful place to stop for a cuppa. However I found the man who served me to be very brusque and bordering on unfriendly. Its a shame because a smile costs nothing and makes for a much nicer experience.

Our first visit. Staff very aware of what my Gluten Free other dietary needs entailed. I don’t often choose burgers but our meals (both the same) were superb (and my g/f bap was fresh) . Staff were attentive and as we say in Wales ‘hyfryd’ (just lovely).

A friend and I booked for 1200 on a Sunday. As soon as we arrived, there was a sign on the front door "No Sunday Lunches", which was a huge disappointment. I had looked at the extensive menu online prior to arriving there, and I had another option in mind. The chicken and Ribs. We arrived and were taken to our table. There were only 3 other parties sitted down, which I thought was a bit strange, as this establishment was usually packed out on a Sunday. We were handed a limited menu with the standard pub grub items. No grill items, no Chicken or burger items either. No chicken and ribs. My friend and I decided to go elsewhere. The cleanliness of the pub is shocking. The carpets looked like they haven’t been hoovered and cob webs on pictures. Since Marstens have taken over from Brains, it has severely gone down hill.

I brought my parents here with my Dad being in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was warm from the second we opened the door and the beautiful decor showed the care and attention that we would see in the service and food preparation. I had a pork dish and my parents indulged with two different types of burgers with an artisanal bread starter. The food was a delight, the treat we set out to have. This warm and welcoming business is definitely on our go to list in future.

Horrible treatment. the man running this shop was incredibly rude. Me and my dad asked a simple question is the Cafe open because the sign said it was closed. I was expecting yes but sorry dogs aren’t allowed in however he was extremely rude. But it is a lovely walk so still go just ignore the cafe next time we will bring our own lunch and snacks!

A really impressive and unexpected find, the food was proper gastro quality, made with care and skill and inexpensive. We had a roast pork for £16 and a buttermilk chicken burger for £14 (I think). Quality ingredients, generous portions, cannot fault and I always find improvements! Good chilled soundtrack and coffee too. Will defo be back!

The wife ordered a kebab tonight, and thought she ordered a donor to find out she ordered the wrong one, and they sent us a free one, as I was disappointed it was not a donor, these guys go above and beyond, and are so helpful in making people happy, the food is so lovely and tasty, will definitely order from them again, thank you

Worst food I’ve had from a takeaway in a while, ordered a Donna kebab, a kids nugget meal, small batt sausage and mushy peas. It was just gross, sausage was like rubber, my partner said his kebab was dry, chips are disgusting not ordered again waste of £22

Just a nice pub always have a good time with you friend.

Very friendly pub food is excellent staff are very welcoming

Can be nice.. can be disappointing. Have decided to stop eating here because it's too hit and miss. Owner seems to rant in the Google comments that it's all "fresh" and "piping hot", but it seems I'm not the only one. So I guess it won't improve if the owner is so in denial and stubborn about that. Quality also seems to be guaranteed to be poor on a Sunday, when the chips on a few Sundays have seemed like they're either over done, or they're just old ones. Price is expensive despite (again) the owner's protests in the comments. Plenty of chip shops in the area selling bags of chips for much less than the £3.50 mark. Never had a problem with the customer service, although weird to hear the owner in the comments saying how everyone was rude, yet they seem to be the only one coming across as being rude and sarcastic to people. Makes this place even less appealing to hear an owner like that. Doesn't make me want to support their establishment. Edit: It's been a few months and thought I'd come back and comment, since it's a Saturday night and the chips are pants. All over done or old, not sure which. Took another star off. Also, nice of the owner to prove me right about their attitude with their reply below (oh they've deleted it now🤦🏻😂🐔) I wasn't even complaining about the quality of the potato... It's the inconsistency with the standard of preparation that's the problem. Shame they don't just take feedback on board. Guess I will have to 'go somewhere else'. Funny thing is, they think they've won by telling me to go elsewhere. Oh and thanks for letting me know about foodhub, I'll be sure to head over there now and give you 1 star, since you "only take those ones seriously"😘

Ordered 2hrs in advance only to wait another 20 mins when I arrived to collect

Absolutely disgusting cold food The full order wasn't delivered even 1 of the missing meals arrived an hour and half later what a joke of a place I will never order from them ever again.
