The Hare & Hounds

Came here for the the fist time for a Sunday lunch (wont be the last). Delicious, freshly cooked, seasonal food in a cozy country pub setting. I had the Heritage tomatoes for starter, salt baked beetroot, sage and perl las gnocchi for main which was an outstanding veggie option followed by a love apple Soufflé for dessert (wow). My friend had the lamb dish which she said was perfect. Best meal i’ve had in ages, staff are friendly, great service, you can see why they hold a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide. Worth every penny I’ll be back!.

The service was excellent with attendant waiting staff, the owner stopping to tell us about the food, quick drinks delivered to the table and our choice of table. Then the food came and our palates were spoilt for choice. The meat and fish were cooked to perfection and the sauces were subtle, tasty and delicious. Some of the veg choices did not entirely match but that is picking at extremely small nits! Finally the price was extremely reasonable for such amazing food and I would definitely visit again. It felt like a Michelin level experience. The area is also beautiful with clean air, ample space and preferable to the more upmarket Cowbridge. My fave was the crispy pig cheek which crunched and was soft in equal measure. My partner loved the beef which was delectably cooked and was accompanied with crispy potato and a rich jus. Try the produce and the fizz too I say!

Celebrated our first wedding anniversary here with an incredible meal. We had their three course Christmas menu and boy was it absolutely stunning! The service was incredible, and the staff were very attentive during our entire visit. It was also some of the best food I've had in my life, and definitely the best food I've had in Wales since living here! For a special occasion, the price wasn't as shocking as I had feared either. Altogether a lovely evening with memorable dishes and cosy atmosphere.

Excellent gastro pub which has been recommended by the Guide Michelin for numerous consecutive years. Beautiful culinary creations including their own take on the focaccia, malted sourdough bread and smoked butter, house made cured beef / aka "Bresaola", a cooked leek with ricotta, roasted walnuts and vinegar, rare-roast hanger steak with chips and salad and peppercorn sauce and their own Gnocchi with courgette, tomatoes and aubergine sauce base - delicious. To finish off, we had a raspberry bakewell tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - and the price for all that including soft drinks: £72 for 2 adults. Just brilliant! Highly recommend and worth a detour if it's not on your direct route!
