The Sir Samuel Romilly Jd Wetherspoon

Historical pub with pretty outside and charming interior. Unfortunately food nothing special. Huge menu, pitza, burgers, fish and chips and other pub classics. Fantastic drinks from cocktails to beer on tap. Good place for drinks and if you stick to pub classics food okay. Problem is food pre cooked. Walk from Barry station or if staying at mount sorrel just down the hill from there. Toilets on site and plenty of parking. Good place for a get together with friends. TV’s for sport fans. Friendly staff and good service. Prices reasonable Love your local guide- M Like or follow me

A few of us called in for breakfast. Three orderd the large and one ordered scrambled egg on toast. The breakfasts were very tasty and they were large, the scrambled egg was very nice and filling. There are a large number of toilets for both men and women, with no complaints about cleanliness. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area, ideal for a bit of lunch and a cheeky pint. My only criticism is that even though we all ordered at the same time, two where half way through their food before the other two orders arrived. We would definitely visit again when staying in Barry.

Ordered on the app, food came 20 minutes after ordered which was fine but no drinks! went to the bar to ask about our drinks told that they were short staffed and they would bring them over shortly. 10 minutes later still no drinks had to go back to the and get them. Wouldn't mind if we had ordered cocktails but it was two cokes!!! Service might be quicker if 3 members of staff weren't standing at the end of the bar having a good chat

We visited this Wetherspoons whilst in town for a funeral....I really didn't want to give them a one star as we noted that this particular Wetherspoon was reasonably priced. Initially my sister went to place an order at the bar but was completely ignored for over 20 minutes that she came back to our seating area frustrated given that it was a Friday Evening and it was busy we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt) so we had a few drinks went to Barry Island and came back a second time to place an order. After placing our order we waited for an entire hour and fifteen minutes still giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were extremely busy) now mind you we were standing for the entire time waiting patiently...until I said to my sister can you inquire when the food would be ready. To our surprise the food was already sent out without our knowledge and no one had the kind courtesy to tell us that it was ready....so obviously our take away meal was cold x 2 ...... when we got back to the hotel....this is what our meal looked like. we requested no onions and this was the size of the lettuce .... 2 strips yes I said that.....2 strips of lettuce and 2 strips of onions.....mortified to say the least) Very disappointed with the service.....I would visit again though if I'm in the area but probably not on a busy evening

The worst Wetherspoons I’ve ever visited!! Ordered large Cod Chips. What arrived was the most shrivelled up smallest portion of overcooked cod I have ever seen. Black bits on chips. The waitress took the plate back to chef only for it to return saying ‘this is the large portion’. Wouldn’t have minded so much if I had paid for the small portion. Left wondering what size fish is the small portion! I have ordered small portions of cod before in other Wetherspoons which were much better cooked and larger than this. Tasted awful. This is the problem when you pay for food before it arrives. Never again!
