We visited the Muddy Toad after watching Tom Lodge's demo at Cowbridge food festival, and it did not disappoint!
The food was incredible, service was fab and venue is gorgeous.

Highly recommend 👌
Situated a couple of minutes off the Cardiff Road we found this gem for our lunch. Definitely more of restaurant than pub, but all the better for it. A quiet Wednesday lunch time and pretty average to look at from the outside. Inside though tastefully decorated in a rustic style. The wow factor was provided by the house plants, there must be hundreds of them all looking great and really enhancing the look. We chose from the set lunch menu very reasonably priced and a good selection. The food was excellent both in quality and presentation. Service was unrushed and attentive. We will be coming back. many thanks.
What a lovely evening we had..The food was fantastic. It isn't cheap but the food is fabulous. I think the sea bass was the nicest I have ever had. 2 of the party had chicken supreme and they said it was great too. I had Beetroot salmon to start awesome. One of us had the scotch egg which they really liked. 10 out of 10.
Two of us recently had lunch at the Muddy Toad, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I couldn't resist trying their burger, and it was truly outstanding.
The burger at Muddy Toad was a flavor explosion. The patty was perfectly cooked, juicy, and delicious. The toppings were fresh, adding a delightful crunch. The attention to detail was impressive, from the homemade sauces to the melted cheese. Every element came together flawlessly.
The restaurant itself had a cozy and inviting ambiance. The rustic yet modern decor and comfortable seating created a pleasant environment. The staff was knowledgeable and provided excellent service.
In conclusion, Muddy Toad is a must-visit for burger lovers and anyone who appreciates great food. The exceptional flavors and warm hospitality make it a standout place to visit.
Cannot praise this place enough. Carl and his team created a beautiful buffet for us. Delicious 5* food & service. Absolutely thrilled with the whole experience. Extremely attentive staff, highly recommend. Please see for yourselves- you won’t be disappointed!
Lovely decor, loved all the plants! Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely food - some different options available. One of the desserts was served on a wooden toadstool! Novel! Drinks weren't cheap, but I suppose they've gone up everywhere!
Since the changeover from The Lower Inn pub, I would say that the food is much better. There’s a lot more thought into the menu and the starters / mains are absolutely delicious. It’s definitely a little more expensive than the previous ownership but I think that you definitely get your moneys worth with their menu, atmosphere and service. A must try: the fig and Brie starter is divine. I hope they also bring the scotch egg back. Mains are also gorgeous.
Celebrated my birthday with friends last Thursday. Had a great time. the food was excellent, great service and we all loved the place. Thanks Stefan and Erin for looking after us so well. I will certainly be back.
First time we have been there since the new owners and what a difference. Nice relaxed atmosphere, staff were excellent and the food was very good. The price is pitched right when you take into the food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend and will be coming back soon
This is the second time I've dined at The Muddy Toad, firstly I was very excited to see new owners, having lived in the village for 6 years and not having had a good experience from the previous owners.
The food is exquisite, the service is high end and the general atmosphere and décor is just beautiful. Lots of green and plants which gives a lovely calming ambience. I am a huge cocktail fan so to have somewhere in walking distance from my house that offers such an imaginative and exciting menu makes me very happy.
Erin recognised me and welcomed me back in such a lovely manner, what a lovely girl. Keep doing what you are doing - dining out is a rare treat for many families at the moment but I feel you absolutely get what you pay for at The Muddy Toad.
