"a real jewel of an orte. george is an excellent host and creates amazing locally baked and skillfully cooked meals. very welcoming little restaurant that felt like a place you can call yourself. to the luck to far from a chain restaurant as they can get! everything is crooked to order and care the cook personally wanders the dining room to check that eating is perfect. the ambiente is relaxed and friendly supported by 2 excellent staff in front of the house, while george makes its magic in the open kitchen (supported by another cook). dee pfannkuchen roles 9/10 salt, pfeffer bauch schwein 10/10 (absolute superb you can really say his since days marinated, beautiful deep of taste . teriyaki nudeln and lachs 9/10 surf n turf (10oz top quality local ribeye plus 8 large garnel 10/10 (too many nice cut beautiful chips! sticky toffee pud and tiramis. we don't have to eat a week! small wine list, but a well thought out selection. I work in many 5* restaurants (one has a Michelin star and the Cwtch restaurant in llantwit major is so good if not better. they don't pass it. they can go! we will return definitiw. bravo george"

"My Mum, Sister and I just stayed in the one room they have above the pub this weekend (Friday and Saturday night. Well, I say above the pub, it’s a very old building so the whole apartment upstairs slants meaning that one of the two bedrooms is separated from the bar by two thin doors. It’s best to describe this place as pros and cons. Pros: it’s massive. Very large ‘L’ shaped sofa in a large lounge. Two reasonably sized bedrooms, all of which were clean and a large dining table with 6 chairs. a good, clean bathroom and the shower (including a rain shower was great with good pressure large kitchen no parking at the pub but you might be lucky enough to park on the road just outside (in front of the houses and free parking less than a five minute walk away which was safe and used by many in the community lovely shop (for presents and café selling good coffee on the square nearby Cons: not a great welcome. We arrived at around 8:30pm on Friday (we said that we’d be there before 10pm. Walked into the pub and had to wait a while while the supervisor was called to help us. She offered to carry some luggage up, which was kind but other than that she was perfunctory and there was certainly no offer of whether we wanted a table for dinner etc (luckily we had booked another place nearby the kitchen was dirty. For example, we used the oven and both the grill and baking tray were greasy and the oven well used. The cutlery drawer had salt and general mess in. The fridge looked like it could do with a better wipe and the cloths for the washing up were not brand new. the lounge only had one lamp in not enough for the size of the room to do nice lighting wifi was sketchy/intermittent toilet seat broken in the bathroom beds were smalls doubles. no welcome pack or toiletries…expected for the price we paid. I sound fussy but the biggest reason why we scored this as poor as a rating was the noise factor. We were not naive that staying above a pub we should expect a level of noise. However, the pub is a stone’s throw from two other pubs with a bus stop in front of the Tavern pub. We expected noise until midnight but clearly the pubs in the area make no effort to police noise. How residents cope I have no idea. Saturday night was particularly problematic as one of the pubs clearly had a lock in so people were congregating in the square being drunk and loud (and throwing up until gone 1:30am. The staff in the pub we were staying at were also loud, moving furniture at gone midnight and started hoovering at 8:30am on Sunday morning. Those two doors make no difference to filter the noise. In short there is no consideration shown for guests staying and it really impacted our sleep. We loved the area but won’t be staying here again. We have stayed above pubs before and like the atmosphere but the cons outweigh the pros here and I prefer somewhere where more respect is shown to those staying and the surrounding neighborhood."

"This is without a doubt one of the best restaurant I’ve ever visited, let alone Italian restaurants. The fish pasta was incredible, the fish was so tender it fell apart when eating it and the flavours were salivating. And I’m not sure what their house red is, but it’s very good quality for a house. As a little plus, the service was spot on. 10/10. Can’t recommend enough."

"We visited on Friday evening for a drink. The staff didn’t appear to know what they were doing. They were serving people at the bar that were coming after others and ignoring customers that had waited longer. After eventually being served and sitting down with our drinks we decided to have a meal. My wife wanted the chicken pie and I ordered the falafel burger in a bun with an egg and fries. When it came, my burger and fries were presented in a cardboard box like a takeaway, my wife’s did come on a plate. It was poorly presented not cheap and we were really disappointed. We were in Lantwit Major for 3 days, after Friday we didn’t go back to the old swan there were much better pubs across the road. Will not be going back to this pub."
