This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

I was even more surprised by looking at the price of a one course meal for a whopping £15.78! I was expecting something extraordinary for this price but unfortunately it didn't meet my standards. The selection of meals are very limited and not many are suitable for vegetarians, but they are all freshly cooked and hand prepared and set out beautifully on the plate. This restaurant offers a very wide selection of wines but not so many beers or spirits. The dining area is very small but this in my opinion is an advantage because there aren't so many people dining the same time as you so you can have a nice relaxing conversation and not have to talk over so many other people. I would defiantly advise booking a table before hand so you don't have to wait by the bar and ending up spending a fortune before you even start your meal! The dining area is in a modern conservatory but it has a warm glow which makes the place feel more relaxing. Since the prices are so high I would only consider coming here for a birthday dinner or a special occasion.

Maybe I am too used to paying London prices, but this seemed pretty good value to me. The total came to about 25 pounds a person, including tip, two courses including wine. I can't really complain about this. Menu was fairly limited (maybe because it was a Sunday) and probably wouldn't have appealed to a vegetarian, but the meat and fish eaters were very happy. I had a sea bream; others had roast lamb or beef or Dover Sole. Everyone seemed very happy with their food in the party of twelve.

The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear. I had the mixed grill, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife had the Gammon which she thoroughly enjoyed. The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.

The biggest mistake was not having dinner here on the first evening. The food, service & ambience was fantastic. We did not have much, a Moo pie, a Moo & Blu pie for myself and a "Heidi" for Grandma -- but all were fantastic and table talk diminished as dinnder disappeared. We even went for desert, the Hot Toffee was not available so I was forced to "settle" for the Pecan Sundae... poor me -- the worst thing is I had to share with my dinnermates ((grinn)) Our granddaughter is 11 and it was a great time for our 6:30 pm dinner on a Thursday.

It was a huge plate of food that was difficult to finish, but the combination of sweet and spicy was somewhat addictive and kept me digging right back in for another bite. The duck offers a wide selection of desserts (which were hard to pass up)...I wanted something light so I had a single scoop of local ice cream to cleanse my palate.
