Awful place. This my third visit, which I was dragged along for under protest and it lived up to its prior awful standards. The food is awful, the place has no atmosphere at all and the staff are mediocre at best. There are much better places to go to in Barry.

We visited the talwg Friday night(Nov 17th) for a pre Christmas family get together before things go mental for Christmas. As always we were greeted by Martin who escorted us to our table and took our drinks order. We made a food order to take advantage of the vouchers . As always the food was lovely (we wouldn't expect anything less with Tom being the chef for the night) we always love our visits to the pub the staff are always smiling and happy, (zara and James definitely didn't let the side down with their friendly customer service. Great night all round

Pre booked a table for a Friday evening. Arrived early so we were able to have a drink before dinner, which was accommodated, as the pub was really busy, Drinks were very expensive for a pub in Barry, £11 for a pint of Guinness and a pint of Lager. When we were ready to order, there was no steak left. We ordered a mixed grill and the curry. We had to chase up with the server as the food took some time to be served. The mixed grill was awful, poor product and not well presented at all, most of it was left. The curry was mediocre at best, not very tasty at all, pretty bland. Very disappointing and would not return.

Fabulous welcome from Joe and Liam front of house. From the moment I spoke to Joe to make booking nothing was a problem. Tom and Alex delighted us all with yummy food served well, simply pub grub ..but a little more Big thank you to Kat and Zara. Our delightfully helpful and friendly service staff. Highly Recommended . It was a fabulous evening for my mums birthday. We will be back. Also noted a coach of 52 people arrived and the staff were very helpful and impressed us all as they were a real team. Well done all thank you again

We stayed a couple of nights in Barry. An evening meal at Cwm Talwg on our last day made a perfect end to the day. All the staff were brilliant both when we called in to book a table and when we had our meal. Thank you chefs Tom and Aidan for a fantastic meal and Kat, Bex, Zara and Liam for your friendly, helpful and attentive service. I had a burger which was very tasty with perfectly done fries. My wife had a veggie burger with chips which she said was all very good. Our deserts were also very good.

Booked this in advance for a wedding anniversary meal. Good parking and great staff. Had the mixed grill which was perfect. Wifes steak was also spot on. The only fault would be that towards the end of the meal everything seemed rushed, like they wanted to get rid of us.

Saw this pub on a TripAdvisor search for places to eat in Barry, close to where we were staying. It was rated highly so I thought we'd give it a try for our evening meal. On our first night we visited Cwm Talwg my wife and I had an excellent meal. We chose the steak and my son chose a beefburger. The steak was cooked just right to our preferred tastes and my son said the burger was delicious. The front of house staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our meal so much we visited again the next night. We tried other dishes off the menu and all were well cooked and delicious. That night there was a quiz on in the bar so it was enjoyable to eat and take part in the quiz. I can recommend this pub for its warm front of house staff Kat, Bex and Serge and not forgetting the excellent chefs Liam and Josh.

"Gastro Pubs" have a lot to learn from the Cwm Talwg. Superb food! Chips that you could actually crunch and weren't dripping in oil, very obvious that pride is taken in what is being cooked obviously using fresh oil and it being at the correct temperature!! I know as I come from a family of Chefs! Friendly, polite, attentive staff that are not over bearing or intrusive. A dog friendly pub with excellent clean facilities and a wonderful spacious atmosphere. When ever we are visiting my Dad in Rhoose, we will be back as we regard the Cwm Talwg as our new local. Thank you Kate for being an excellent host and good fun, Liam, well done on the deserved success of your pub and eatery, and finally to Tom the Chef, excellent, just excellent. See you all very soon, The Pharazyns (Evah, Chris and Phil, plus Pooch - Datscha.
