😠 Where to start.... well we thought we would give our local public house a opportunity to satisfy us with some local sunday lunch, we wish we hadn't bothered wasting our time and money, we waited 5 minutes for our order to be taken, then another 10 minutes for the meals to arrive, the meals were a to... People often mention staff, good, Sunday, friendly, lunch,

    Where to start.... well we thought we would give our local public house a opportunity to satisfy us with some local sunday lunch, we wish we hadn't bothered wasting our time and money, we waited 5 minutes for our order to be taken, then another 10 minutes for the meals to arrive, the meals were a total shambles as we ordered 2 lamb 1 pork and 1 chicken, we received 3 pork and 1 chicken dinner, with very little vegetables and mashed potatoes to serve 4, the portion size was ok except for the very badly cooked food, we sent all 4 meals back, as for being a public house it has no gas on for alcohol, only bottled beer, and the coke was fousty and flat. Thank you Glenbrook for disappointing our family sunday lunch, you have lost some local customers and will never be returning. In the images attached is meant to be 1 pork 1 lamb dinner, but they're the exact same meats. My recommendation would be to find a suitable chef who knows what the difference is between meats and how to season some veggies!!.......🤮

    Our experience here I've got to say was not a good one. We went for Sunday Lunch and i have to say it was the worst we'd ever had. The mashed potato was stodgy, the rest of the vegetables came seperately and looked unappetising and tasted bland, unseasoned. The meats that were ordered were not correct as they tried to pass pork off as lamb. The yorkshires were over cooked to the point they were black around the top. The roast potatoes were probably the best thing but still couldn't eat them. They made the mistake of putting hot food on cold plates which meant the dinners went cold quite quickly. We just found them inedible and we all left them. I couldn't even finish my drink as it just didn't taste right. For beer drinkers it was a bad time too as they had no gas to be able to serve it. I gave the one star for the waitress, she wasn't to blame and was very pleasant and apologetic for our experience. I can say we definitely will not be going there again. We actually went somewhere else where we know we could get a good properly cooked dinner. ☹

    Arrived from London at 1.45 pm on May 3rd, looking forward to a nice lunch, I was visiting family in Barry. Unfortunately the premises looked empty and the entrance doors were locked. Maybe the staff were on holiday.

    Was served this evening by a lovely polite young lad called mckenzie.. Whilst waiting for my drinks another member of staff dressed in all black called Richard made a dirogartory comment about mckenzie saying "he has a lot to learn" I'm really not very happy about this as mckenzie served my drinks perfectly and exactly what I asked for! A member of staff should not be slagging other members of staff off to customers I'm absolutely discusted by this, this man was also asking another lady questions whilst holding his head in his hands like he had no idea what he was doing. Every little thing he was asking advice for from the lady who was the manager, seems like he had no idea what he was doing and had the audacity to speak like that about another member of staff.

    Went in there for a pint and to get a Sunday roast to find the car park basically empty and only two people in the pub. Then me and my Dad saw a guy pull roast dinners out of his boot in polystyrene boxes, we were well put off - avoid at all costs!!

    First time ordering a Sunday lunch and it was amazing! Lady on the phone was lovely and very friendly. The food arrived within the hour and it tasted delicious and at a very good price. I will definitely order again

    The best pint (mikey rayer) in the VOG. Every time you go there you see the best of barry community. Compassion, debate and humour.

    We had an amazing Sunday lunch here on 06/03; The food was stunning and considering there were 12 of us the service and timing was incredible. We Preordered our meat so that they didn’t run out and the amount of extra veg and gravy made it excellent value for money. As if this wasn’t good enough the staff were so helpful, cheerful and accommodation and went out of their way to make sure we not only had gorgeous food but also a great time! We will be back! Thank you
