Bryngarw House in Bridgend

Very picturesque. Great for rambles.

A beautiful house. We didn't go inside, but the gardens and outside of the property were outstanding.

We had a lovely meal here and the food was great.

We celebrated our special day here on 9th September 2023 and what a day it was ❤️ The team were exceptional from day one to the very last second! We had louise with us on the day and she made sure everything ran super smooth and no hiccups in sight! The food was gorgeous, all our guest commented on how stunning it was 😍 I wish we could do it all again, but to all 2024 brides and beyond please book a viewing and let the girls make your dreams a reality 🙏

This venue is only 5 minutes around the corner from where I live in Bryncethin. The venue has amazing grounds for your wedding. The staff are friendly and attentive and make sure your wedding guests and yourselves have a fantastic time. I am always looked after when I photograph weddings here and would highly recommend this beautiful wedding venue.

Absolutely stunning building and surroundings . staff couldnt do enough for us and food was excellent!

I can't thank Bryngarw House enough for a fantastic wedding day! Food was amazing! Staff couldn't do enough for me, bar staff were so friendly! Plenty of staff available to serve! Everyone loved their rooms! Breakfast was beautiful the following day! Somewhere I would highly recommend to everyone!! The venue was spotless the grounds looked lovely! Staff were on hand all day and night to hell with anything I needed doing!They allowed me to enjoy my day to full potential! I didn't have to worry about a thing!!I can't thank them enough!!

Reservamos una mesa para 10 a un evento aquí en navidad y quedamos muy impresionados con la experiencia. Los alrededores son un verdadero sabor del lujo y el servicio y la comida sin duda coincide con la sensación de lujo. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el personal no podía hacer más para asegurarse de que teníamos una gran noche, enormes felicitaciones a los cocineros y camareras que mantienen nuestras bebidas recargarla toda la noche. El entretenimiento también fue excelente y sin duda me reserva para otra noche de lujo. Genial para specialmoccassions, sin duda volveremos.

Fuimos para una cena el domingo con mi familia y me impresionó ver lo que cuesta.Había una fuga en el techo, que mi hija dijo salpicados en ella. Me dijeron que el personal y nos preguntaron si, nos afectó. Ellos no nos cambiaron y cambiamos nuestra mesa un poco. Nos fuera una copa bajo el goteo en nuestra mesa. pésima.

Went there for a Christmas function in the evening. We were in the marquee on the 11th of December and it was very cold . One heater with approx 120 people it spoilt the evening. Food was good.

Not somewhere we would usually go but I have to say what great food we had at a Christmas function. Although the marquee was very squashed (and hot), the food was on par with restaurant quality. We were all impressed.

My friend and I visited the cafe today with our two babies. We were quite shocked by the prices for lunch (the cheapest item, sandwiches were over £5) but ordered sandwiches, a hot drink and a slice of cake. Whilst waiting for our food to be delivered, we fed the babies food from home in the highchairs provided. The waitress was rather curt when delivering our food and we were very shocked when she returned to ask us that if we were going to feed the babies food from outside the cafe that we needed to be discreet so others didn't take advantage! Her manner was very short, bordering on rude and I've never been told to put food away before or made to feel it was a problem. There was no child's menu and £5.20 for a sandwich my 14 month old son would only nibble at, seems a little steep. Perhaps she wouldn't have complained if we were feeding them out of jars but I like to avoid them and there were no healthy options suitable for toddlers to buy. Other cafes we've visited are very baby friendly, offering to heat up food or bottles. It was a real shame as we'd enjoyed a lovely walk in the attractive grounds but being made to feel guilty in the cafe spoiled our visit. Even if our children were older, it seems very overpriced for the food on offer and if we were to return the only option would be to eat outside in the cold.

Este es un gran lugar para un paseo con un montón de caminos diferentes. Jardín genial en el terreno. Hay un parque para los niños. Los jardines son increíbles y la casa también es increíble. Aparcamiento barato £1 por todo el día. La cafetería es estupenda y los precios razonables. Sería otra vez.

We love this little place, beautiful surroundings with amazing food. Not an extensive menu but the food is always well done.

Viajé de Kent para una boda, y tengo que decir que me quedé muy impresionado. El lugar es precioso, muy bien decorado y el personal fue muy amable. La ceremonia estuvo bien y la luz y cuando flexible para la noche proporcionan mucho espacio para la discoteca y baile! La comida fue simplemente deliciosa, algunos de la mejor carne que he tenido en un restaurante. El pescado plato y el postre también eran deliciosos. Había un montón de espacio por dentro y por fuera para los invitados de la boda pero mi única crítica fue el bar en sí era un poco pequeña para la fiebre inicial de personas que desean una bebida. Los jardines son preciosos, proporcionando un buen fondo tanto para las fotos personales y profesionales y era muy agradable para explorar.

Visitamos el domingo de Pascua. El personal era bastante agradable, pero parecía que carecen de dirección. Una cabeza más experimentado de la casa se necesita para dirigir las operaciones. Pedimos vino que llegamos sin un cubo de hielo. Sin placas de lado para el pan que era proferida antes de que nos sentamos todos!! agua del grifo se servía en Ty Nant botellas (pretencioso). La comida era normalito, no especialmente caliente y daba la sensación como si hubiera estado parado en la cocina por un tiempo.Por desgracia la comida trabajan engañar, los jardines son impresionantes, pero no volveremos hasta que su partido por el 100% tanto en la comida y el servicio.

Parque recién pintado y decorado este sitio todavía es un sitio fantástico para una comida y una bebida en el medio de un precioso país. El servicio era excelente, nada era un problema para el personal, muy atento. buena comida y refrescos. Bien vale la pena el dinero para las ofertas especiales menú. Lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas, reservar con antelación para evitar decepciones.

estado yendo a este restaurante durante años y ha sido un placer de cenar allí, había estado aquí por día de la Madre anterior y ha sido una alegría hasta ahora! Los aperitivos estaban bien, pero pronto fue de mal en peor cuando la principal salió!!! pésima sería insuficiente carne seca tuvieran agua, salsa y una abundancia de zanahorias que se suponía que iban a ser tostado pero no estábamos y parsnip era inexistente y eso es todo lo que conseguimos!!!! El postre era igual de mal.

I was being treated to a Mother's Day lunch by my lovely children. We arrived at 12 noon, the house has been tastefully refurbished and we relaxed in the bar before being called to our table. All was going well until the food arrived! The prawns in the prawn cocktails were tiny and few and were lying on a bed of wilted lettuce! The Sunday roasts consisted of meat, roast potatoes, carrots and the thinnest gravy I've ever seen! No mint sauce available for the lamb dinners! The desserts were passable. We will not be returning!

I have visited this restaurant many times in the past and have had a really good experience. It has recently been taken over by a new company. The seating was very cramped. They lost our order leaving us waiting for over an hour for our first course. The food was very disappointing and if you didn't like carrots there was not other veg! Needless to say I will not be returning.

7 of us for Mothers Day lunch & my Father in Law's birthday but what a disappointment! My husband had garlic & white wine mushrooms to start which were cold but thankfully all the others were ok, the main meal tho was probably the worst I have had anywhere, firstly they had run out of the lamb, which isn't the end of the world but they had another 'sitting' after ours - all the vegetables were cold, the roast potatoes were reheated & like leather & coated in garlic salt ( not the best option for a roast) & the gravy, well it certainly couldn't be described as gravy or even a jus it was like greasy coloured water with added stock cube!! The deserts were ok though thankfully. On the plus side the staff were lovely & had excellent customer service. Not a place I would even entertain visiting again!

never again mothers day spoiled with cold and tasteless food the only veg gray carrots all in all it was very poor pup grub at five star prices

We had our works Xmas party here and there were a number of other parties here also. The staff coped well and were all pleasant and cheery. We sat in the conservatory and the lawns and grounds looked magical. The food was delicious and for the price it was very good value.

another visit but cant do it again the Powers to be the local council will close it end of december. The evening meal is a delight, presentation execelent, tasty and nourishing fabulous the chef can compete easily with any celebratary chef and maybe show them how to present a fabulous meal at such a reasonable price.one draw back is breakfast during the week stops at 9 am and thats too early, the people who made the decision to close deserve to be sent into early retirement and let real business take over

Bought the livingsocial deal, which included 3 course dinner, overnight stay and breakfast for two. It was such good value for money and could not be faulted on this front. The food was very good quality and well presented; accommodation for fine; and scenery was worth visiting by itself. It's such a shame that they will be closing the accommodation to the public as would thoroughly recommend it.

Went last night for a treat - I love the place, the food as always is superb and the service was fantastic. Complimentary tomato soup and mango sorbet - to die for. Can't wait to go back again

Once again we have spent a pleasant afternoon & night, food was once again superb with the chef's complimentary touches between each course. I am not a usual dessert person, but the TRIO is to die for!!It is a great shame that at the end of December it will be no more. Only for weddings I believe as the lease has been handed over to a catering company. Pity they can't see what a jewel they have here for everyone to experience.

May I say how nice this hotel is, definitely be back again. I have travelled quite extensively & would say the food is some of the nicest I have ever had.

We tried to 3 course set meal available on Saturday nights. I would advise that you book before hand - the restaurant area is small, probably sits around 30 people.We had booked for 7pm, but on arrival the restaurant wasn't ready to sit us, so we had a drink in a little room on the side of the restaurant which had enough seating for around 15 people.The food was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful, however, neither myself or partner really enjoyed the experience. We put it down on the feeling that we were on top of the other diners and didn't feel like we were able to sit and relax while we ate. The courses were served without a gap so we felt we didn't get the full experience of enjoying a night out.

We stayed for 1 night and were welcomed by friendly helpful staff. Room was very clean with plenty of tea & coffee etc. The evening meal was excellent really delicious with a couple of small taster courses added, and again the staff were great, the house wine was a delicious Chilean Merlot. We will certainly return for a meal and tell other friends about this our experience.Wondering around the grounds was a delight, and sitting out on the terrace in the morning rounded off a relaxing night away.We visited the B Leaf garden nursery in the grounds and again most helpful and knowledgeable staffSurely Bridgend Council need to reconsider any decision about closing the hotel as it seemed very busy when we were there on a Thursday to Friday.

Me & my Fiance book a table here to celebrate 1 year until we get married, when we arrived we were quickly seen - I had booked earlier in the month, we were taken to a lovely table sat right by the window so we had lovely views of the grounds.Our waitress was very attentive, and provided us with adiquite time to pick what we wanted while not leaving us too long or not enough time.In some places we have gone to we have felt rushed, but at Bryngarw we were made to feel special, even more so when a wedding party started arriving for a wedding the next day, we weren't ignored or forgotten about it was lovely!The food was probably some of the best I've ever tasted, we were also given some complimentary tasters (mushroom soup & mango sorbet inbetween meals) which were totaly unexpected.Both of us had a 3 course meal (trio of desserts was to die for!) and a bottle of wine all of this came to around £50!! Then when we paid the bill to leave the waiter explained that due to what we had ordered we could get a better deal if we booked a room there also! To me this shows that they care about thier customers rather than just wanting money from you.As lovely an idea that it would be to stay there, we only live 10 minutes down the road so we wouldn't take that option.We are planning on coming back in the next few months and will be bringing our parents, I can't wait it's making me hungry at the thought of it!Definately recommend this place & I have told all my friends & colleagues at work about this place too!

Stayed here on the 28-06-14 for my birthday with my wife and brother and sister in law, we had a real good deal for a nights stay and 3 course meal, first of all the place is lovely and the view of the gardens are lovely and if you have the weather you could sit outside all day long, the rooms we stayed in were small but lovely with nice Decore, the lunch menu was small with little choice, the girls had the scones which were enough for them, on the other hand me and my brother had a sandwich which on the menu had variable fillings, he had the ham and I had the tuna for the price you'd expect to have a bit more in the sandwich even though the plates was well presented with the home made coleslaw an enough crisp, the ham sandwich was basically one piece of ham no salad or even the option of mustard with it. Going to dinner we wasn't expecting much going off lunch, but we were plesently surprised! The 3 course (actually turned out to be a 5 course for same price) was outstanding, from the starters to the deserts we could not fault it from the presentation Of the meals to the size portion,What I liked was the little shot of soup that come out whilest we were waiting for our starters. Overall the Evening meal was outstanding and we would definitely come here again for a evening meal. one bad point I would say is that as the World Cup was on there were no TV in the bar areas so we had to leave for a couple of hours before dinner to watch it in a local pub, which in my eyes was loss of income for them as We spent money there which we could of spent in the hotel.

Found this place by change. Stayed there for one night with my wife. Lovely hotel and grounds. Helpful staff and great food.

Yet again horrendous waiting time at the bar, Busy wedding and one person serving at the bar. Prices sky high.

I have over the past 5 to 6 years enjoyed the facilities at Bryngarw house and received customary brilliant service and meals. If Bridgend council are thinking of reducing the availability, which I have heard on the grapevine, then I would perceive this as extremely short sighted!!!!This jewel in the borough must be considered a tremendous opportunity to encourage visitors and without doubt the staff make the restaurant a magnet for return visits.No doubt, if what I hear is true, staff numbers will be reduced and their chance to develop skills withdrawn.....a real shame, one which the council should explain their anticipated action!!!

Brilliant meal with friends for my birthday, the meal and the service was as usual excellant,would take any of my family and friends there !

Stopped her for a sandwich and coffee. The sandwich was fine, nothing special but nothing to complain about; the coffee was a little insipid but ok and was served hot. The gardens are lovely and we really enjoyed wandering around. Probably a lovely place for afternoon tea in the summer.

Just had an outstanding meal at the Bryngarw House - Christmas meal of three courses with complementary soup and sorbet plus mince pies and mulled wine. Excellent service, a real festive atmosphere especially with the band and the Christmas singing!! An excellent evening!

Fab Christmas lunch here with friends. Excellent service with extra touches! Glass of sparkling cava on arriving a good start. Overall excellent service, quality of food and choice too. Can't wait to return after refurb

The chef has been here for years and is still good at what he does, much better than the average pub the meals are well cooked and presented. Service very good with local accents and a good standard. The place needs an overhaul, the paint is sad the furniture needs updating. It is the result of a local authority owned hotel/restaurant.

beautiful setting and meal, we held my wifes fortieth birthday party here, excellent venue, we stayed the night and had a beautiful breakfast to ward off our hang overs

I find it difficult to believe me and 'AngelSwansea' visited the same place. My husband and I came her for our anniversary, a treat from my parents. We arrived early and bought a drink at the bar. We sat outside taking in the lovely surroundings and the friendly waitress brought the menu to us while we relaxed. We placed our order outside and the waitress came out for us when starters were ready. The conservatory seating area was lovely, clean and bright but still had the feel of the country house. The food was lovely and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing. The only reason i haven't given a 5 is that we had a bottle of house white and it really wasn't good. I don't think much thought has been put into the wine. Other than that food and setting are ace!Very reasonable at £22.50 for 3 courses.

Having stayed at this hotel twice I found the food was excellent but the accommodation was very poor. Both of the rooms we stayed in were shabby with poor quality scratched furniture. The bed was uncomfortable because the springs could be felt in the mattress. We had our evening meal in the conservatory and when it got dark you could see how filthy the conservatory windows were as they were all covered in finger marks a bit off putting when you are eating. The first thing that greets when you arrive are cigarette butts on the floor outside the main entrance.The first time we stayed unfortunately there was a wedding taking place and the room that we were in was very close to the glass recycling bins, at 1am the staff were disposing of the bottles VERY LOUDLY without a thought for the people sleeping in the rooms above! With a bit of a facelift, more thoughtful staff and a bit more housekeeping it would be a nice place to stay.

We were a family pasty of eight celebrating a birthday with a Sunday lunch.First of all, the setting on a sunny June day was stunning, the parkland home of a former industrialist – and if the kids get bored they can wander off to the adventure playground.The actual Harlequin restaurant is bright and airy with a pleasant ambiance. Service, as always, was brilliant, orders taken outside in the sun as we enjoyed a drink and where we even completed our meal with the desserts and coffees. No trouble at all to the waiters.The meal was good value at £19 for three courses, served with abundant dishes of varied vegetables and presented haute-cuisine fashion. The chef even cooked up a special pasta for our youngest vegetarian with restricted tastes who did not want the menu options, typical of the patient attention to detail of the staff.An ideal restaurant for the special occasion.

We visited here for dinner on a Saturday evening and had an enjoyable evening. The hotel is set in the country park. They serve a three course set meal for £22.50 and have to say it was fantastic value with home cooked food. The downside is the service ... it is far too slow. It took 45 minutes for our starter to come out and the rest of the evening did not progress any quicker. We received our main course and were told our vegetables would follow .. only to find that we had to chase them up well over 5 minutes later. They did compensate by giving complimentary extra courses ... a tiny soup and sorbet but to be honest we would rather have had our meal served on time - as by the end we just wanted what we had ordered originally and had no room for extras. Would we return .. only if we could be assured the service would be faster.

Visited Bryngarw House with some girl friends, rooms were comfortable, facilities very good. The food in the restaurant was fantastic value for money, evening meal was superb, the sweet was just heaven on a plate. Welsh breakfast the next morning was just great to set me up for my journey back up the M4, plenty of it great choice. Staff were friendly and welcoming..we will certainly be back. I'm looking forward to walking in the grounds when the weather has improved!

I can honestly say this is the WORST restaurant I have EVER eaten in. Visited on Sunday 17th February as a party of 4 people. The Manager Mrs Andrea Thomas was not at the restaurant that day. The conservatory style room is tired & grubby. I sat in a puddle of stickiness on the floor which was most uncomfortable. The table cloth was stained. We arrived at 12.45pm. Our order was taken before 1pm. The waitress (Linda) a surly person seemed disconcerted because we each chose a different dish in both starter & main course. Our starter was served an hour later & the main course almost 2 hours after our order was taken. All around us diners were complaining about the delay.The plates were cold & so was the meal. The portions were miniscule & the gravy was cold. I had lamb which tasted like a 100 year old lamb it was so strong in flavour & was inedible. We complained about the time delay & were told the Chef was having a 'strop' ! The waiter refused to remove our plates from the starter course for 30 mins after we had finished as he said the Chef 'would do his head in ' !!This was a Faulty Towers experience without the humour. The waitress (Linda again) was very annoyed when we refused coffee & desert. We explained we wanted to be home before dark & could not chance another hour wait. On leaving we asked the receptionist for the Managers name. It was thrown at us without any enquiry as to why we had asked & if there were any problems. I telephoned Mrs Thomas the Manager on her return the following day. I explained our experience & she said there were no notes from the staff & she would have to ask them. She did not request my Tel. number to enable her to get back to me. Altogether a thoroughly awful & distasteful experience. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR CUSTOM.
