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

We booked the Six Bells about 6 weeks ago for my husbands 70th birthday for a group of nine people. Friends went on the internet to look at the menu only it discover that it is shut. We have had no notice no contact from then to find out what is happening. My daughter phone them NO reply. I contacted Soul 'n' Smoke only to find out they are shut due to a gas leak and they might be shut for some time. We found out with only 3 days to go that Soul 'n' Smoke would not have been there as they are on holiday until 21st March . So very disappointed in the fact that The Six Bells could have contacted us to let us know that they had an emergency and had to shut then I would have had more time to find a new restaurant to book.

First time visiting here. Lovely place and very clean. We had gammon and a cheesy flatbread with chicken - couldn't fault the food, absolutely gorgeous!! Staff were friendly enough but I feel a smile or two would improve the welcome

The Galley is incredible. The food is quality and the setting is lovely and welcoming. The staff are always amazing!! We’ve visited several times for breakfast and snacks so decided to try the evening menu. We had a fantastic night. The menu is really good and the evening setting is chilled and as good as the daytime. We had the sharer for 2 and 2 sides. It was great quality and plenty for my wife, I and daughter. A great selection of cocktails and the service was excellent. A really special night and we can’t wait to visit again. Thankyou!

We had drinks and crisps in the garden after a walk. Service was speedy and staff friendly. Drinks were reasonable prices though didn’t try anything alcoholic. The car park is huge so parking easy.

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.

Amazing food as always and big portions.

Popped in on Good Friday for a spontaneous lunch out and what a fantastic lunch it was. The new owner was lovely, the food was spot-on and an enjoyable time was had by us both. We'll definitely be going back some time soon.

Went for breakfast this morning at 9.30am and I was so impressed! The food was delicious and good value for the quality they are offering. The lady who served us was so welcoming and helpful. We had children with us and she was really good with them and tailored our order. The mystery to me is why it was quiet. There was one other table occupied when we we there and as we left at 11am another table was being taken. The Gallery is clearly Barry’s best kept secret and really deserves to be busy because the food and service and surroundings are perfect. I will definitely be back and would recommend it to everyone.

Fabulous food, great staff, will go again

This place takes gastro pub to another level. I honestly could have gone for any of the starters , 4 out of the 6 mains and all of the desserts. It is a shame when someone leaves a review that they don’t consider themselves culpable for paying their children a little attention

Popped in here whilst we waited for a flight to arrive at the airport. Unplanned, and unbooked. Nice welcome. Good selection on the menu. The food is brilliant! Really really nice! Despite being full, I had the pavlova too... and I'm glad I did. Awesome place.

Excellent "specials"meal of bream. The menu is ok and pretty typical of most pub food venues. The beer is good, HPA being one of my favourites and the sauvignon blanc is very palatable. We waited about 15 minutes for our meal to arrive and the waitresses were pleasant and efficient. The barman is a knowledgeable and friendly person.

Had Sunday lunch. Fantastic food and large meat portions. Delicious. Young lady looking after the bar and serving was very attentive and friendly. Definitely going to come again.

Simple food, wonderful staff, and excellent value for money

I’ve ordered the picnic boxes from crepe escape for parties for a few years now and always excellent. Huge amount of food in each one and thoughtfully put together. Highly recommend.
