At the Lamb & Flag Wick, near Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, since the end of October 2019. We were flying into 2020 and then, well, we all know what happened…
We’ve worked tirelessly since taking over to enhance the experience and maximise the pub’s full potential. As we move into ever more relaxed restrictions, the Lamb & Flag Wick will increasingly become even better than before.
We have poured TLC into the Lamb & Flag Wick to enhance the experience of this charming Welsh village pub. Bringing together a classic combination of cosy open log fires inside a heritage building, we’ve filled it full of warm hospitality. We’ve also blended in modern twists of locally sourced, fresh produce, a carefully selected wine list and hand-picked ales from down the road to further afield.
Favourite beverages at the Lamb & Flag Wick are Glamorgan ales, Tiny Rebel and the recently tried and tested, Harbwr Brewery from Tenby. The cellar has been given a new lease of life, so we serve crisp, clear ales, beers and ciders, which should keep the CAMRA drinkers happy…
Shunning gimmicky offers for continually fair-priced food and drink, the Lamb & Flag Wick is welcoming to all, whether that be locals with friendly dogs or ‘blow ins’ (as they say here in Wick) visiting the area for jaw-dropping coastal walks and our sumptuous Sunday roast.
If you’ve not visited the Lamb & Flag Wick for a while, then make sure that you come for a fresh visit, as it’s an entirely more welcoming and enjoyable experience.

Beautiful old pub. Service seemed to struggle and could not fulfill an order. A party of 4, 3 of us received our meals but 1 was asked “sorry, what did you order again”. I understand this has just been taken over by new owners so maybe it hasn’t found its footing yet. But I will say food needs improvement. i feel like I got a frozen meal cooked in a microwave.
Good menu options, beef, pork, turkey, beetroot wellington roasts on the menu today. 3 of us had mains each trying one of the meat options, Yorkshire pud especially delicious. For dessert we shared raspberry and white choc pav, sticky toffee pub between us. We arrived having reserved 1530 table, told there would be a delay as they just serving large table, fine. Unfortunately it was some time before a drinks order was taken and the mains didn’t arrive till 1700, some missing veg as they had run out. Others in the room complained about similar experience and we felt this was mismanaged. One table complained they didn’t have parsnips, response was ‘we definitely did put them on the plate’, in our opinion weather this is the case or not, additional veg should have been brought out. It’s just good customer service. Service from attentive waitresses was adequate. I would return as the food was tasty but would be sure to enquire about the for-mentioned reservations. Did not complain in house as felt staff knew there had been mistakes and hope they rectify, based on conversations had with other guests. Hope to be able to give more stars next time. Happy to feedback to owners should they wish.
Really enjoyed my visit, food was excellent the Sunday roast was on point! Pork was delicious, served with roast potatoes, home made Yorkshires and veg. Will definitely be back
An hour wait for parsnip soup with parsnip "crisps" Yet was astonished at two whole parsnips laying in the soup. First time here and heard various complaints around us. Beef was too tough to cut yet told they were still serving it to us. Roasties were of the frozen variety as were the Yorkshires which is robbery at £16.50 per head. We had our soup after an hour. The two young girls serving were a delight, but not a nice experience for them today. Excuse was new chef and beef was cooked overnight, but a true "chef" would have delivered an awesome meal considering it was the first Sunday roast after some time. Lovely place, although very cold, two beautiful fires that could have been lit.
The landlady was very informative on the pub and area history. The food was great and the burger was dry aged tasty. I just wish there was an option to add a second patty. Shipwreckers! 😁 I will try the hoof in Cardiff soon! I'll tell them you sent us!
