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

We have been visiting the Casa Paco restaurant for a few years. Each meal is better than the last and we’re always made to feel welcome. The meals are consistently high standard, I can’t wait to go again. We had many deliveries in lockdown and they were always piping hot and fresh. Karen and the team are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for us. My favourite it the fillet steak and Rossini sauce - highly recommend!

I don't usually write reviews but this place made my day today. What a lovely place! My first time in Barry, I thought I'd pop in and get a frozen yoghurt for my best boy as I could see the freezer from the doorway as we were passing. There was water out the front for dogs, so my boy had a quick drink and it looked fairly quiet inside so we decided to go in for an early lunch. The service was excellent, where we sat was very clean, calm, comfortable - just really, really lovely. We loved the dog wallpaper, plates, menus, etc. Plenty to choose from, we ordered a couple of tuna-mayo toasties, a milkshake and cappuccino along with a sausage and frozen yoghurt for the dog. Well, he was treated like royalty with his own water brought over and his sausage cut up in a little bowl, and he loved all the fuss from everyone. He had a great time! Will definitely return the next time I take a trip to Barrybados and happily recommend to anyone (with or without a dog). The food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced but the service really was superb. (Thank you for making us so welcome!)

Staff are very welcoming and polite. Efficient and prompt service from all staff was noted. A large selection of drinks was noted. The food was very tasty served on hot plates very promptly. Cleanliness was very good 👍 removing all table contents prior to cleansing spray and wiping. (Not many do this)

Willmore’s is absolutely awesome! What a wonderful addition to the Cliff Tops! Amazing food and super friendly service. Definitely the number 1 choice for the BEST ICE CREAM in Penarth! You can see the love and care and professionalism that goes into running this excellent 5 star business. Watching it grow from day one, it has exceeded expectations. Whether a hot day visiting with friends where the kids can have delicious ice cream and adults can enjoy a sunny pint or a cold winter day for a flap jack and hot drink…. Willmore’s is the place to be. LOVE IT!

This is an excellent venue, been coming here for a few years. Staff always friendly, prices are good and portions good size. Place is always spotless. Thoroughly recommend a visit to this premises, one of Penarth's hidden gem's.

Is ok , sometimes staff good , other times not so much.However , the main point is this has got to be the earliest closing fish and chip shop in Wales if not the whole of the UK!

I’ve lived In the area and for some reason never visited, genuinely feel a fool now, my daughter won a raffle prize for 2 breakfast so we decided to all go as a Sunday treat, the gentleman who owns the cafe is exactly than a true gent! Such a grip on the place and seems to want to connect with customers as he effortlessly strikes up conversations with everyone, Also all staff are very polite and approachable as for the breakfasts we ordered they came out in a timely manner and were enjoyed by everyone in our party from ages 3- 33. (My daughter especially liked the milkshake) Like I said we had won 2 breakfasts from the local school raffle were the cafe had kindly donated a few prizes but on this occasion we decided to save that for another time as we will certainly be back and would spend them another time. Unfortunately while we where there a lady felt very unwell most people would crumble but he sat with them offered help above and beyond what you’d expect from offering to drive them where they needed to be either home or hospital to then phoning the emergency services and talking it through.

We booked the Red lion as we like to try restaurants that advertise being dog friendly, not just for ourselves but also business associates, on booking the manager assured us that they love dogs, really ? We travel all over the country with our dogs and have had amazing food in hotels, restaurants, with fabulous managers and staff, whether this was just an off day, but we were made to feel we were an inconvenience by the manager, the food was mediocre, quite cold the cauliflower cheese was hot on top and cold and hard underneath, but mostly we just felt that having the dogs with us was a real inconvenience. Sorry but not a place I would want to go back to.

We were walking along the pier on a hot afternoon. Fancied a whipped ice cream and saw this place give it a try. We had a mixture of ice cream on tubs, whipped ice cream on a traditional cone with flake. All good but a little on expensive side. The guy who runs it is retired chatty all good.

An absolute local gem. I've bought two of my children in and it was lovely. The staff are a credit and the food is so tasty. I look forward to returning ☺️

We found this little gem and the food was very good. Breakfasts with buttered toast, proper job! Very friendly too. Just what we needed after our drive up from east Devon for a local funeral. 10/4/2024 (3 ladies)

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 !!!

Genuine pub. No fuss just beer! Porky scratchings & crisps.

Haven't been to the harriers in years and i have to say what a revamp. i love the new decor and the Christmas decorations add a very nice homely vibe to it. and i have to say, the staff are lovely. there was a young woman behind the bar and she was nothing but kind to us and very helpful. food came out quickly even though we arrived very close to closing and it was all very lovely food. thank you very much staff, keep up the fabulous work and we will definitely be back soon
