The Pilot in The Vale of Glamorgan

Went the Pilot for the first time yesterday.The food and drinks were excellent as was the service .We be back again very soon.

Dreadful customer service with weird policies.Was my local pre pandemic and thought i would give it a try with my dog as nearby.Shabby on outside and empty at 6.45 on a wednesday. Ordered my pint and was then told that dogs are not allowed in after 6 as part of group policy.was then asked to sit outside in cold or leave. place was previously dog friendly.when asked why dogs were allowed told it was group policy in case it was busy and they take up space ??? place was empty on what was meant to be Steak night.the lady was rude and a should not work in hospitality. We use their other pub the sully inn which allows dogs in all the time so it is not group policy. It had the air of a pub going out of business and it surely will with people like her at the helm.Avoid at all costs. place could also do with weeding and cleaning the outside which was filthy. Wouldn’t trust the hygiene of the kitchen if the owners allow the exterior to be so filthy.

Great food and very accommodating as we hadn't booked a table . Will be calling again .

Don't be deceived by the exterior of this pub which appears somewhat unremarkable. The inside is a lovely shabby chic.The service was friendly and the food absolutely gorgeous and.There are offers throughout the week and on A Thursday when we visited the deal was buy 1 main meal get 1 free.We both plumped for the slow cooked. Beef with cheese mash and greens. The beef was so so tender and tasty.We will return.

Fantastic food, service and price. Myself and my wife stopped in after a long walk and were very impressed by the food and service from the team. The lunch time menu is great and will priced. We will defiantly be back.

Lovely food and lovely staff. Had olives and crisp breads to share for starter and cod bravas for main which was perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend

Best service I’ve received in Penarth.The food is absolutely delicious!Will be returning here for food often!

I moved the Penarth during lockdown and this was my first meal in a restaurant after restrictions eased. It. Was. A. Mazing. Perfectly prepared. The staff was very polite and well trained. I’ll be coming back.

The Pilot: Part of the small Knife & Fork group. 3 ales at time of calling. Modern style establishment - french cafe` effect (not really pub style). Staff very welcoming & professional. Lunch simply excellent & very reasonably priced & quality. Toilets clean, modern & well maintained. Definitely worth a visit, however like many places in Penarth not easy to find.

Was nearby looking for place to eat. Surprised to have found this lovely place. Sunday menu on Sundays. Had the hummous to share as a start. There wasn't a price on the menu thought that means free lol (we still got charged in the end tho). Very pleased with the cod, it was lovely. Dessert was very nice as well tho a bit pricey.
