About Cherry Orchard
Cherry Orchard is a pub on Barry Rd in Barry, set in a refurbished old college building. An indoor play area gives families with toddlers somewhere to keep young children occupied during a meal, and a pool table sits in the bar. The kitchen serves main meals and daily specials, including steaks such as the Americano rump steak, and a Christmas lunch with turkey, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. A large function room with its own private bar hosts birthday parties and other groups, with a buffet available for parties and space for a dance floor.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly, welcoming staff, with servers and the manager described as going above and beyond, offering menu recommendations and bringing extra requests during the meal. Several describe large celebrations, including a party of 28 and a birthday held in a large room with a private bar, a buffet and space for a dance floor. One regular says it is their local venue for pool. Food draws praise for generous portions and tasty steaks, and one diner calls the Americano rump steak tender. The main complaint comes from a detailed Christmas lunch review from a large group. They describe a table that was not ready, a bar that would only open a tab, and no cutlery laid out. The plates then arrived cold, with undercooked parsnips, a pig in blanket without its blanket, grey turkey, instant mash and soggy roast potatoes. The reviewer says the complaint was met with rudeness. In another review, a Sunday evening party arriving around 8pm was still served though the kitchen was due to close, and the steaks came cooked as ordered.

“Brilliant local pub with a great atmosphere and even better staff (Dylan). Everyone is always welcoming, friendly, and happy to help, which makes a big difference. Service is quick, the drinks are spot on, and it’s the kind of place you can properly relax in. It’s also our local venue for pool, so we spend a lot of time here and always enjoy it. Great crowd, great vibe, and definitely one of the best locals around. Highly recommend.”

“Had such a great time at the Cherry Orchard, and a lot of that was down to Kate. The pub itself has a really relaxed, welcoming atmosphere—just a great place to unwind—and the food was really good with a solid choice of drinks too. Kate was brilliant from the start, really friendly and easy-going, and made us feel right at home. She knew the menu really well and gave us some great recommendations, and checked in on us without being over the top. Even when it got busy, she stayed calm and on it, which we really appreciated. The whole team were lovely, and everything ran smoothly, but Kate especially made the experience stand out. It’s not often you get service that makes you feel this looked after. She’s a real credit to the place—we’ll definitely be coming back!”
