(425)

Rooted in craft, care and stories. Here at the Hare & Hounds in Aberthin we serve good quality food and drinks in relaxed and informal surroundings. First and foremost, our pub is a thriving local watering hole that has been keeping locals’ thirst at bay for over 300 years. We will carry on doing exactly that, with a range of great ales, interesting wines and homemade seasonal drinks. Alongside th

e bar, we now offer a small, daily changing, seasonal menu in our dining room. We use the very best produce that the Vale of Glamorgan has to offer. Here in the Vale we have some of the most productive soil in the UK, which gives us meat, vegetables and game of the highest quality. The produce available to us from the best Vale producers, our own kitchen garden and our smallholding up the lane, dictate what is on the menu from day to day. Everything is made from scratch in our kitchen, from our own sourdough bread and cultured butter, to our charcuterie and fresh pasta. This is not pretentious fine dining; its just about good food, whether you’ve been for a long walk with your dog or have got something to celebrate. It is a type of regional Welsh cooking. We have been awarded a Bib Gourmand by Michelin for 2018

Our take on a traditional Ploughman’s.

A crisp pork Scotch egg with a soft, runny centre, served with smoked cheddar, crusty sourdough and our homemade piccalilli.

Finished with slow-roasted tomatoes, dressed mixed leaves, creamy red cabbage slaw and a few cornichons for that perfect bite.

Simple, seasonal and made from scratch.

A question for anyone who’s eaten with us over the years. What’s the one Hare & Hounds dish you still think about?

Something from years ago, something that only came around with the season, a Sunday lunch favourite, or a dish you had once and never quite forgot.

We’d love to know what stayed with you 💚

Tucked just behind Cowbridge High Street, Hare & Hounds Bakery has become a place for good food, familiar faces, small gatherings, supper clubs, creative evenings, and those relaxed local nights that make Cowbridge feel sociable.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more of what’s coming up at the bakery, from foodie evenings to social workshops and live music.

And if you’re planning a birthday, a celebration, or a get-together and need a venue with food and drinks, send us a DM. We’d love to be part of it.

The smallholding is always changing, and that’s exactly what we love about it. 🌿 Back in May, the bees were settling in, the winter salads were coming to an end, and the polytunnel was just beginning its next chapter.

Now, in the middle of July, everything looks completely different, and we can’t wait to show you what’s currently growing and being harvested. The vegetables have taken off, the bees are hard at work, and the garden is producing ingredients that make their way into our kitchens almost every day.

A reminder that good food starts long before it reaches the plate. Should we head back to the smallholdings for a summer update?

Smoked haddock kedgeree at the Hare & Hounds Bakery in Cowbridge.

JJ’s been in the kitchen with Luke, adding a little Hare & Hounds twist to the bakery menu with our traditional British kedgeree: poached smoked haddock, curried rice, boiled eggs, and peas from our smallholding.

It’s the kind of dish we love. Simple, comforting, full of flavour, and built around good ingredients without overcomplicating them.

Find it at the bakery in Cowbridge.

Friday and Saturday evenings at the Hare & Hounds Bakery. We’re keeping the doors open till later, with food served from 5-8pm.

Expect small plates made for sharing, summer flavours, fresh seafood, and a few things grown by us just up the road. There’ll be Moretti on tap, a few cocktails, and a short wine list to go with whatever ends up in the middle of the table.

Book your table and tag the person you’d happily share a few plates with. Dogs are very welcome, as always.

A morning at the Cowbridge bakery. Ovens on early, coffee on the go, breakfast orders coming through, and the counter filling up with sourdough, pastries, and familiar faces getting everything ready for the day ahead.

While things look a little different for the pub at the moment, the rhythm hasn’t stopped. There’s still good food, good produce, and a small team making sure there’s plenty worth stopping by for.

Find us at the Hare & Hounds Bakery in Cowbridge.
