Local gifts in Barry

“I visit this shop a lot .Not only to buy excellent gifts but the interactive & educational walkthrough part my grandchildren like very much especially the part where they dress at speed , which you can time to get ready for a shout. Obviously they are only pretending but the gear is real . I purchased lots of jute bottle bags and shopping bags , socks etc . All whom received were surprised & pleased because it’s different & multi use .Staff always friendly . Plus you are supporting Men & Women who voluntarily put their lives at risk to save others.. Thank you. Nicky .”

“Nice beautiful Italian restaurant, Great atmosphere and amazing real Italian pizza made it at Napoli's style. The Pasta is very tasty and very good too!!! To finish with a delicious dessert , my favourite was the warm croissant. All followed by a superb service.”

“It is our first time to try this restaurant for take away today. The staff is really really nice and friendly. We ordered three dishes and the price is incredibly reasonable. When we are back to home and taste it, I will say it is very fantastic and very delicious. It is very outstanding in terms of quality and taste, and I can say the taste is very traditional which is already very hard to find similar high quality dishes like these even in Hong Kong and China right now. I would highly recommend it to everyone and look forward to try other dishes again this week.”

“A very nice vegan/vegetarian cafe, the food was lovely and well presented with beautiful fresh ingredients. Lovely staff. The residential Tom cat is very precious over its domain and has no fear of having a go at your dog. Staff quickly got him inside with a bribe so calm could be restored. A lovely little place for a coffee and bite to eat.”

“Came to Barry for some breakfast before heading off to the beach. I had the eggs Benedict with bacon. Have to say, probably the best eggs I’ve ever had. Both were super gooey and delicious, you can tell they source them fresh. Pleased to see that they source locally when they can! My friends had the veggie breakfast and she was amazed at the value for money - they really fill up your plate . Our servers were attentive and helpful and the food came out in no time. Would recommend”

“Fresh, tasty burger and quick delivery Can't fault Bashed! Food is always amazing. Full of flavour. Would definitely recommend. Tried the others but these guys make by far the best bashed burgers in Barry.”

“Really nice beach side coffee shop. Went in for a drink to take for our travel home. I got a kinder latte and my friend got a chai latte (?) With oat milk. The gent that served us was amazing and even asked if the alternate milk choice was a preference or an intolerance. When told it was an intolerance he told us it would be done in a seperate jug and cleaned twice. Very good with allergens!”

“Fantastic assistance everytime I utilise them and they have been fantastic with ongoing complex care requirements. Cannot fault them at all.”

“Attended a few parties here - lovely clean environment with toys and adventure play to keep children entertained.”

“For just £2, I had an excellent sized hot portion of chips that were freshly cooked and beautifully crispy. Friendly staff make this place even more exceptional and is the perfect place on Barry Island to buy your chips for a nice walk on the beach. Highly recommend.”

“We had an amazing time at Mr Villa’s, the staff were extremely on top of everything and obliging to our every need. The food was exquisite and I would highly recommend the crusted cod to both seafood and non seafood eaters as it is amazing. We travelled a long way from Australia to enjoy the Uk seafood here and were not disappointed. Definite 5 stars.”

“This is a great Chinese takeaway. For me, it is the best in the Vale of Glamorgan. I have tried many, but for me, you get great service and excellent size portions. Their chips are without doubt the best and again a great size portion. The food is always cooked fresh and we have never had reason to complain about anything there. The only slight issue for some people is that it is cash only, which to me is good business sense”

“Fabulous, family run shop with beautiful, one-of-a-kind items. I've been a few times and have always found tonnes of gorgeous pieces at very competitive prices. Really friendly accommodating staff. I love this shop and will absolutely be going back over and over! Would highly highly recommend to anyone, especially if you are nearby!!”

“We have been there for dinner. Great food and nice people!”

“Amazing food, lovely staff, great service. I go here almost everyday. Would be every day if they never closed on Wednesdays lol. Highly recommend.”

“We were a table of 4 for Sunday lunch. We arrived early and were nicely invited to have a drink at the bar while we waited. When we were taken to the table by the host Chris, he introduced our sever as Mitch who was really personable and positive. It is unusual to have professional and enthusiastic service at restaurants nowadays, so Mitch was a refreshing change! The chefs serving the carvery were great as well, the food of exceptionally high quality with vegetables not being stewed or cooked to death, but actually fresh and inviting. If you like a carvery, this is superb and at less than £20 per head is great value.”

“Had Stratopramen. A pint is £4.40. Bartender was really friendly, funny and experienced. Would definitely go again. There's a cool gong to denote last order. An actual gong. Good WiFi, plenty of tables and comfy seating. Great place to cosy up after a long day at work. Nice spacious open plan layout with a few pool tables.”
