The best restaurants in St. Bride's Major The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Outstanding food and service from start to finish. Definitely in my top 3 restaurants ever visited. I have recommended this place to many of my friends, who have said exactly the same!

Fabulous food, very reasonably priced, and amazing customer service. They gave us some complimentary tapas to try and even fed our dog! This is the second time we’ve been there, and both times we had a lovely meal. Thoroughly recommend, thank you ❤️

Good food with good staff.We enjoyed our meals here the place is clean with great service with staff that are helpfull.

Just such a lovely friendly, cosy and down to earth restaurant serving excellent food. Service was tremendous. So friendly and accommodating. Such a wonderful experience. Thank you Hugo!

Traditional Sunday lunch with all the trimmings- all 6 of us loved it- v tasty and wholesome

Don’t really know where to start! When we got there the place was freezing cold, the heating wasn’t on and the fires weren’t lit! We were sat down and given 1 menu between 2 of us. My wife ordered a pink gin and lemonade, when it arrived it was in a pint glass full to the brim with lemonade! We were told they didn’t have any gin glasses despite having a gin list on the wall…….. The only other people in the entire place were 4 people in the bar (we’ll get back to that in a bit). The chicken goujons were clearly frozen and had just been deep fried, not home made! When my hunters chicken arrived the chicken was hard and dry and there had been freezing cold bbq sauce squirted all over the top of it, likely a bottle straight from the fridge it was that cold! The chips were clearly warmed up, the peas were freezing cold, totally inedible! Now back to the people in the bar, 4ft away from us. I’m no prude but whilst we were trying to eat, the conversation was extremely loud (no music playing in the place) every other word was F and then the conversation moved on and included graphic discussion of having sex on the kitchen table! I couldn’t complain about the food as there was no staff! When I went to the bar and shouted for someone’s attention to just pay and get out of the place, I politely said I wasn’t paying for the chicken which was virtually untouched on the plate and explained why, one of the 4 in the bar, whom I would assume was a rather drunk local started being sarcastic! The poor girl that was left to deal with this, the only member of staff we saw all night was mortified! When we complained the 4 people in the bar left rather quickly leaving the place totally empty at 7.15pm on a Saturday night which speaks volumes in itself! Before the owner starts trying to defend this review, I’d like to think you weren’t one of the 4 in the bar? Absolutely shocking place, £34 down the drain, we couldn’t wait to get out of the place! Avoid visiting here at all costs!

I can't say any more than "Hillary and Iain's famous garlic mushrooms in a bacon and cheese melt" because that sums it up. A beautiful starter, shared accommodatingly between 3 of us 5 diners. Because... ...we were all having Turkey festive dinners for mains. The one of us 5 who had never been to H&I's before kept commenting as the veg and sides were coming out about when it would end 😁 Add to this just the lovely atmosphere and bistro vibe. If you want fast food and factory precision go elsewhere. This is a husband and wife cooking team that do their utmost to cook up a storm because they love feeding people. Be prepared to sit down with some coffee or wine or whatever takes your fancy and kitchen magic will materialise as and when it's humanly possible. We must also give a shout out to the fabulous young man waiter, Niko, who is effortlessly charming and amenable. He really does try and do everything everywhere all at once and it's because he very likely has some ADHD or similar, but also, he has been diagnosed with an unusual visual impairment condition, and so be mindful to help and guide him.

After cycling around the vale we ending up in ignore. Had a meal at the surf shack. Very good food good prices

Kind & lovely staff! Had the best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had! Perfect pit-stop on your clifftop walk. Thank you 🥰

Food was wicked. Lovely spot in the sunshine, and cozy in the rain

Absolutely brilliant stater and the roast potatoes, lovely and crispy with a soft centre and the beef was to die for

Absolutely amazing pub, with fabulous owners. Nothing seems to be any trouble at all. Helpful in the knowledge of the area. Fantastic halloween desplays, and atmosphere. Parking to the rear entrance, lovely walks and a park nearby. Our grandchildren loved the river, park and the halloween decorations which they where aloud to gently touch and experience. Really can not fault the kindness and generosity of the owners and customers. The patience given was second to non. Thank you for a wonderful visit 😊 💕

Booked Sunday lunch carvery several weeks in advance for an office get together. Was called a couple weeks before and told carvery no longer available and we must pre-order from festive menu. Not happy but too late to start looking for something else. All the girls were smiley and friendly but the service was appallingly slow- had to ask multiple times for each course- not that busy so can’t understand why kitchen was so slow. Starter was fine. While waiting for mains, we popped outside and when we returned we saw every other diner had a Sunday roast! I asked the waitress and she said they thought it was odd- we were the only ones having the festive menu. I told her about the phone call and they asked for details so they could investigate who called me. The mains were poor- steaks were ok but served with Sunday roast sides- sprouts, carrots, cabbage and roast potatoes! All of us pretty disappointed. After asking 3 times for dessert, they arrived- tiny slices of shop cheesecake with strawberry sauce for icecream. Choc fudge cake was fine. Eton mess consisted of a tall glass of whipped cream with a half of a meringue nest stuck in top and 1 strawberry!!!! We refused them. By this time we’d had enough! They took the desserts off the bill but we still paid more than the Sunday roast that we booked for. Festive menu was simply the same menu with minor tweaks, more expensive. One of the girls insisted that the manager would call me the next day- it is now 2 days later and still no call so leaving this review as they have made no effort to contact me. Over 3 hours for 3 courses of , on the whole, very poor food- won’t be returning and let all our friends know!

Sunday lunch was delicious and hot. Already recommended the farmers arms,to our friends as they love Turkish food, and we will also be coming back for another mixed grill,so yummy. Really worth a visit
