After travelling Southern USA to experience and research different smokehouse meats, we found ourselves an official pit-master and opened our first Cattle & Co Smokehouse in South Wales. Since then we’ve been immersing ourselves, learning the art of the smoker. We’re passionate about the flavours, texture and quality of the meat and we know the smoker is the key. Now we’re sharing this Cattle & Co Smokehouse experience with you.

Booked a meal for NYE, arrived and it was fairly quiet there. Put on a small table of four when there were plenty of larger tables available.
Ordered food and told no steaks on menu, then during wait were told that one of the starters weren’t available.Ordered an alternative which took 50 minutes! When they arrived I was shocked at how disappointing the Texas Toast looked! Two of us had it and we received one small Ciabatta garlic bread which looked anaemic! For the cost this was very disappointing.
Mains then arrived very quickly . I ordered a burger with additional bacon. When I looked under the bun I found the smallest piece of bacon I’d ever seen and this cost £2-3?? I found a cheese slice which was meant to be smothered American cheese! Burgers were tasteless . My son had a chicken burger and his bacon was cremated so couldn’t eat it.
Not impressed at all. Obviously under staffed in kitchen due to NYE but that’s no excuse. Won’t be coming here again, Food quality was poor especially for the price..

My partner and I came here for dinner tonight and we both got the slow cooked pork belly, each £20! Not the kind of money we would usually spend but we thought we would treat ourselves just this once. The pork was absolutely disgusting and had the texture of shoe leather. It was so chewy and unpleasant that both me and my partner didn’t feel like finishing it. We flagged this to the waiter who showed little remorse and was somewhat frosty towards us, despite us trying to be as polite as we could. He said he would have to go message his manager as he didn’t have the authority to do anything. He never came back to our table, despite us being the only people in there, so we headed up to the bar to pay. While settling up, we asked if he had heard anything from his manager. He said no but would take 10% off. We had to push back and say we felt having our drinks taken off should be the minimum, to which he then accepted. Overall a very disappointing and awkward experience – not the treat night out we hoped for.

Staff were really nice and friendly not sure her name but customer service great.
Food really poor. Heard good things about this place so 1st time coming.
Pork belly burnt ends were over cooked ane hard tasted like synthetically smoked rather than like really smoked food. (Honestly they tasted like a green pepperoni)
Chicken wings were nice and them and the chips were they only good thing about the meal)
Burgers – That cheap meat that you used to have in school dinners describes the burgers perfectly, tasteless and chewy like cardboard. Was so disappointed with the burgers. Ordered bacon with it – £2 got 1 tiny strip
The coleslaw had no seasoning or flavour.
Brisket was the worst. Just like the pork belly burnt ends, friend couldn’t even eat this part of meal.
It wasn’t even busy but everything took so long to come. Really don’t mind waiting for good food but the food was so poor. Wouldn’t return.

Cattle & Co – Southern Comfort in Penclawdd
@cattle_and_co @therakeandriddle
Tucked inside the Rake & Riddle, Cattle & Co brings Southern American ranch vibes right to the Gower coast – alongside its foodie siblings The Welsh House & Salvatore’s Pizzeria.
✨ What we tried:
Nachos – Tortilla chips with nacho cheese sauce, salsa, guac & sour cream. We get that this is the American saucy style – but when we think “nachos,” we picture textured, chunky toppings. Still, these didn’t lack flavour and were a tasty enough start.
Texan Toast – An American twist on garlic bread that didn’t touch the sides… buttery, garlicky perfection.
Hot Honey Buttermilk Chicken – Sticky, smoky, BBQ perfection. The kind of sauce you find yourself scraping the plate for.
Smoked 14-Hour Brisket – Melt-in-the-mouth tender, dripping in rich brisket gravy. You can taste the patience in every bite.
Kids’ Mac & Cheese – An instant hit with our little one. Comfort in a bowl.
Triple Chocolate Cake & Mario’s Ice Cream – A choc lover’s dream, indulgent but not heavy.
Verdict: If you’re after big flavours, comfort food and Southern-style portions – Cattle & Co will hit the spot. That hot honey chicken is worth the trip alone.
Would you go brisket or chicken here?

During our visit, the restaurant didn’t seem that busy. Was told that the food would be a 40 minute wait when we ordered, which is fine. The drinks arrived after one of the starters that we ordered, which took about 50 minutes. We weren’t the only ones who were experiencing getting our food late, we heard at least 2 couples ask where their food was.
So after waiting for about an hour and a half and the food had still not arrived, we decided to leave, I paid for the 2 drinks and starter that was received.
The staff were friendly and the waiter who took care of us was good but everyone else seemed to be rushed off their feet. Like I said the restaurant wasn’t that busy so I don’t know why things were taking so long.

Went out for my 40th on 11th Oct 2025 to Cattle and co Penclawdd and it is such a shame the kitchen let this place down. We pre ordered food but yet were told there was a delay. We didnt expect the delay we got, though. We arrived for 5.30pm and left about 8.35pm. We waited around a hour and 15 before we even got a starter and then the mains took another 30 minutes after those finished their starters. For us who didn’t have a starter, we waited around 2 hours for any food.
I had people having to leave or giving up on their desserts because the wait was so long which wasnt what we were expecting.
Mostly the food was nice but one of the steaks was overdone which we didn’t dare send back given how long it took to get it in the first place. The lemon and herb chicken wasnt great either.
We ordered a starter to go with the mains and mentioned this when we got there. It then came out then as a starter not as a main. My friend then had to wait for her chips long after we had started our mains.
We had to ask for cutlery and sauces.
The staff were lovely and really apologetic. The issues we had were mostly the kitchen not the staff out front. We did get our desserts for free but the choc cake wasnt anything special. There were only 4 of us left for desserts out of 11 because of the wait.
We got a little bit of money off the meal but we still paid over £90 just for us 4 despite the issues. We were told that we would get a voucher emailed to us to come back because of the issues however this hasn’t happened yet. It is still early the next day so we will see if that transpires.
Such a shame as the place has potential. Im not sure if the 3 companies are operating out of the same kitchen. If they are, I think this needs to be looked at as its clearly not working for them.

Went here with a group of 9, with pre-ordered food primarily pork belly. Once seated we were told this was unavailable as a mains for any of us since had completely ran out & it was only 6pm. Said would offer a discount on our 2nd choice, steaks were ordered as replacements. Steaks arrived different to orders, medium-well done arrived raw & medium. Staff tried to be as accommodating as possible, but doubt we would ever come back & wouldnt recommend to others.

Ordered through uber eats while working away and just WOW, the food was impeccable. Just pure fresh meat. Had an absolute stupendous meal.
Absolutely amazing food, such good value for money! i phoned up and asked if they had any dips and unfortunately they said they don’t have anything to put them in for takeaway, so i was surprised when they gave me sauces in the actual sauce pots they use in the restaurant!! aswell as little sauce sachets very appreciative of extra effort they went to.
Will definitely be returning
Thank you very much to the chefs and the lady on the phone

Arrived without a booking at a busy period. Was given options of tables, high or low. Service was brilliant, the staff were friendly and would help with anything. Food was well priced and very good quality. Plenty of drink options. No problem for an over night stay in the camper also, so very happy. Will return for sure

Fantastic brisket, belly pork and smoked sausages. Fries were surprisingly good. For the first time we finished them! Food was great. Service was overall good but a little slow probably sharing kitchen with pizzeria and Welsh House. Catchy country music playing in the background to accompany.
