The best restaurants serving British food in Cowbridge The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Outstanding! Super friendly staff, clean and well-presented. The ice cream and brownie were delicious. To top it off, the coffee came with a miniature ice cream, which caught me off guard as it was such a brilliant touch. Definitely recommend.

We went here following glowing reviews on social media and here on trip advisor. Very disappointed with our lunch. You have to order at the bar and pay include the tip without the knowledge that they earned it! Our lunch which was from the small plate menu Lamb, and portion of chips. It took 40 minutes to arrive even after a reminder. others near us had theirs served before us even though we had arrived first. We sat on a table in the middle of the restaurant. We seemed to be isolated, window seats on larger tables were available but not to a 2. We quite often find this in some establishments but are usually offered a better table when requested. When we left 6 customers left. Oh dear, we shan't be back. By the way we find the shop also expensive. Other deli's offer more and better value.

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 reserved some cakes , as we were going for a walk and were calling back later for coffee and cake for a birthday treat ! The staff are so accommodating here , especially the male today 7/7/23 as we were late back , when they closed at 4pm, after getting a bit lost enroute in the countryside. The staff member allowed us to have 2 coffees and the reserved cakes, after closing time, the coffees were excellent and the cakes too. We had the largest cinammon bun I have ever seen and the most scrumptious chocolate brownie ever, crunchie on the outside and sappy in the middle. Such excellent service deserves a big thank you ! Thoroughly recommended !!!

Super- went there after seeing A review of the Cardiff restaurant… lovely setting found and knowledgeable staff. Glad to see it full. Sat outside under the tent. Had a starter, main course, dessert, cheese, beer and wine! All in 50£ each ! Will go again and explore the Cardiff venue. 2024 Jan update. Went on a thurs night with 2 others to have the £45 taster.. unbelievable quality. Great service. Superb. Congratulations to Chefs, owner, table staff. Jan 2025… back again with my wife. Still steaming ahead. Fully recommended! Great food and wine. What they’ve also managed to do is combine being a pub and a great restaurant.

Another great visit here. We were really looked after by the team and the food was great. Everything tasted so lovely and fresh. The team were really helpful when pointing in the right direction to chose meals that were suitable with allergies.

There were eleven of us eating all something different, and all was excellent. All meals served together and hot. Drinks all come first. Meals were taken off the breakfast menu and most had some omissions and extras. (Ordered easily). One item was missing form one plate and this was rectified without fuss. A very good experience and something we would do again.

Hospitality is a tough business these days but the Bush In at St Hilary is showing how to do it well. We went for a meal last week as a group of 4. The pub is very traditional with an open, inglenook fireplace in one part of the pub which we were lucky to sit at. Both owners made a point of coming to chat to us. The food was amazing. I had the pork belly to start with which was one of the nicest starters I have ever had. My main was equally delicious which was the fish and chips. It's sad when people leave poor reviews for these local country pubs. They have no idea how hard it is to run any business these days, let alone hospitality where getting quality staff who want to work is so hard. This pub does everything to make your experience memorable. Was it perfect- no, but this is a small, family run local pub, not a restaurant in a six star hotel and we all had a fantastic experience and are definitely going back again soon. Come on- let's support our local pubs and less with the public criticism!!!!!

We called here for coffee. The music was so loud that we thought we were in disco? When mention to girl totally in different. Give this place a miss

Looking for a poorly cooked breakfast that is terrible value for money? Well look no further as this is the place to visit! Made with authentic value/essential/saver supermarket produce, the hash browns are lovingly made to be soggy and wet, accompanied with a generous tablespoon of succulent cold baked beans, skinny warm bread masquerading as toast and a rasher of the finest cheap bacon known to humanity (50% rind guaranteed!) complete the culinary annihilation. But that's not all.. PLUS, ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE.. lashings of egg shell, strategically placed within the breakfast, (subject to availability but do suspect this is indefinitely). Staff too busy on phones and chatting to one another to be concerned about any concerns, unless the concerns are what to wear or who to date on Saturday night, then the attention to detail is second to none. But seriously, a very, very poor experience and would definitely NOT recommend to anyone!!

Very very disappointed. Child's meal served with a Lidl apple juice Chips luke warm not even at serving temperature. Staff a little giggllie but that's what happens with young staff Would I use again NO, better places to go prefer to go the extra miles.

We have eaten at the Bear before but not Cellars. The young staff were faultless very attentive and welcoming. The food was the nicest we’ve had out in a long time. Delicious mutton suet pie also ham potato and pea pie along with very tasty chicken supreme. All the meals were actually hot, not something you often get when eating out. Toffee apple sponge pudding finished our meals off nicely. Will definitely be back.
