Welcome back
We are now back open!
dine & Drink with us
We are so excited to be back open and have a new menu featuring our classics as well as some special dishes we have been refining throuhout lockdown.
As always our chefs are passionate about local produce – grown from Welsh soil and reared on Welsh grass, so expect menus that are fresh, rustic and to die for.
All Day Menu
Our cosy interior and friendly team welcome a crowd every day from home and away, to a menu that covers all bases – from knee-deep meringues to crisp salads, vegan lunches to champagne brunches. Your table’s here. What are you waiting for?
Monday & Tuesday: Closed
Wednesday - Sunday: 8am to 5pm
Steak Nights
You can enjoy à la carte at Cowbridge’s cosiest eatery after dark as we open our doors from 6 – 9.m each weekend.
We’ll be serving up fresh, local, award winning steaks from Matthew Barratt,, fish from the celebrated Ashton’s fishmongers and vegetarian grills, all prepared with flair by Michelin trained chef Peter.
Our emphasis, as always, is on fine, fresh local ingredients, beautifully cooked: things the whole family can enjoy together or with friends.
But it’s not just about the food…we’re offering a fabulous selection of classic & new world wines and hand-crafted drinks – come and let us create you a new favourite tipple, shaken, stirred or simply uncorked.
We’d be delighted to become your new weekend habit –
