Roots Restaurant @ Llanerch Vineyard

About Roots Restaurant @ Llanerch Vineyard

Set among the vines just outside Pontyclun, this is the kind of place you can genuinely make an afternoon of — there are woodland walks with poop bins on site, so a restless toddler can be marched round between courses, and free parking means no circling. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and there's outdoor seating with vineyard views if your lot are noisy. The cooking is confident and seasonal: the Sunday beef pulls apart, the fillet steak comes with triple-cooked chips, and the breaded cod cheeks get raved about. It is on the pricier side for a family meal — though a £30 lunchtime starter-and-main deal takes the edge off — and it leans relaxed-refined rather than rowdy. One parent calls the setting "fabulous"; the staff get consistent praise for being lovely.
