Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a beautiful eatery in Cowbridge, we travelled down for the day and wanted a delish Sunday roast, and we definitely found it at Rocket & Rye. We booked a table in advance in case we missed out, the restaurant was cool even though...it was boiling outside, it was really spacious where we sat and had a really nice atmosphere. All the staff were really lush, helpful and super attentive. The restaurant had such a nice layout and we felt very comfortable there. They did have some gorgeous looking small plate/starter options, but we opted straight for the Sunday roast, and it was beautiful! Everything from the roasties, to the vegetables to the Yorkshire pudding was top tier! Only thing I would say is that their website/photos of the menu might not be up to date, there are slightly different options to choose from according to what's in season/what they have when you go in there, but everything was really delicious! I then had an apple and blackberry crumble cake with custard, which was just the sweet sweet ending that was needed! It is a lovely restaurant and we will definitely be returning!More

We were recommended here after one of the other restaurants in the village was full. We had a superb meal, we chose a couple of dishes each and had the chicken to share in the middle. Delicious! Wine is good, service excellent, staff are really...on the ball, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Could not fault a thing. Would highly recommendMore

We all go out to restaurants and shovel lovely food in our faces but this one really was noticeably a step up. The roast chicken Sunday lunch was immense. (Chef's) hats off to all concerned.

Came here for Sunday lunch. We both had the roast beef with extra potatoes and cauliflower cheese. The food was so good and cooked to perfection. Best cauliflower cheese I've had as I'm not really a fan. The young girls who served us were so...attentive and polite. Couldn't fault them. Service was amazing. My partner wants to add that the ladies toilets were so well thought out with little extras in case you were caught short! Really nice touch!! Will definitely be coming back with the whole family.More

The food at Rocket & Rye is beautiful. I have been a few times now with my mum and dad when I visit. The menu changes regularly and always has interesting, colourful, tasty dishes. I always feel I can't wait to come back and try...a few different dishes. There is much warmth and happiness in the staff and they are always helpful and friendly. My dad has Alzheimer's and they are always accommodating and happy to help with his needs. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and I will be returning on my next visit to Cowbridge.More

Simply superb, best food In Cowbridge by a mile! Cowbridge is losing most of its places to eat so it’s great to have this amazing place delivering quality food consistently on our doorstep. Sunday lunch is a must! Small plates and a drink are also...never a let down. Keep it upMore

Booked Christmas Menu Lunch for a group of Friends. One of our number couldn't make it last minute and the Staff refused to honor their deposit off the final bill. This was not a good start considering we spent £60 per head at least. The...drinks order took 5 attempts. The waitress didn't know what Rum they served, then ran back and forth to the bar to check the Rums in stock, then again to advise us that they didn't have Ginger Beer, then again to advise us that they didn't have Ginger Ale and finally to bring a round of Rum and Coke. We also asked for table water 4 times that never arrived the entire time we were there for a 5 course meal. The food was decent, Not sure what makes a fried chicken salad "Festive" but it did taste good. Slightly larger main course portion would have been great but overall we were well fed. Overall this place is let down by its staff.More

I went for lunch the other day and had their 2 courses for £14 midweek special, it was absolutely fantastic. The starter was a really hearty chicken, leek and potato soup topped with a lovely herb oil, and the main was on the menu as...“beef sandwich”, I wasn’t expecting too much but I can honestly say it was the best sandwich I’ve ever tasted. Melt in the mouth beef, dill pickled veggies, melty cheese and some kind of amazing sauce, this came with a side of (also amazing) Parmesan fries. Such a lot of food for the price and the quality was superb.More
