Grove Golf Club in Bridgend - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went to a wake in January. Parking and venue were fine. Drinks the usual sort of price I guess. However the food was pathetic (buffet) . Given the money paid and given it was a wake it was terrible. My advice to anyone thinking of using this place for a wake is - DON’T If you do it will upset the day even more

Poor buffet for price paid no hot food just pasties sausage rolls and various sandwiches mostly made with stale bread cold chicken drumsticks overcooked Very poor quality

Visited for sunday lunch with family.The sunday menu is always the same starters, deserts.Always the same vegetables Peas carrots and cauliflower.The meat and gravy is always nice but the rest of the dinner is drab with no imagination.The service is also very slow.

First time visiting after hearing the Sunday lunch was great. Firstly the good points, staff were friendly and the roast beef was excellent and pricing reasonable. Apart from that everything was mediocre. Peas and carrots are about the cheapest vegetables available and even they arrived overcooked and lukewarm. The cauliflower cheese also had the whitest sauce imaginable and definitely had no cheese in it. Starters of prawn cocktail and pate were quite nice as was the chocolate sponge dessert, but I wouldn’t rush back. When I eat out I naively expect a professional chef to provide a meal which is better than I can cook myself.

Friends lunch. When we arrived, staff were serving another customer, one was filling the fridge and another was flitting behind the bar... There was no acknowledgement we were there. Until I asked about a table booking. We were directed to a table, no one asked if we wanted a drink until we asked if we could order one, when a member of staff had delivered food to another table. Drinks came , we ordered food. The salmon I ordered was fine, the salad, uninspiring and the side of vegetables medley, I believe was frozen veg. It was over cooked and soggy. The scampi and chips were average.

Thank you to Kat and her staff at the Grove. They all went above and beyond to make my wedding day really special. Nothing was to much for them. Kat was absolutely incredible and we can't thank them them enough. The Cheese glazing table was a winner for our evening guests. Worked really hard. I've recommended them to everyone I know.

Been here many times and have never faulted the experience. We didn’t book (which is advisable) but they fitted us In overlooking the 18th green. We ordered food off the main menu but there were a lot of people there taking advantage of the over 55s menu. It’s on our local list of places too return to, service is excellent, prompt and friendly. See you again no doubt!

Lovely welcome today, 18 holes on a fab course and a lovely lunch to follow. Will deffo visit again some time. Thank you. Gareth E

Tip top service and the meal was excellent, this wasn’t my first visit when ever I’m in wales we visit The Grove Golf Club

Thought we'd pop in for some lunch as we have our wedding booked this July. Food was delicious hot, tasty with incredible service from kat, pate was to die for. Looking forward to our special day knowing foods going to be amazing.

Came off the M4 looking for a breakfast, saw the sign for the Grove.. lovely welcome from the staff, beautiful setting, a breakfast cooked from scratch served piping hot and plentiful. The young girl that served us was superb, excellent customer service. Will definitely be popping back in as we do this journey alot.

We've passed by this place maby times and always fancied trying it out. We arrived without a booking so was prepared if nothing available. Big table full of golfers eating, waited in reception to see someone, anyone and was ignored for 15 minutes before we left. Pressed the attention button several times but no response.

Great service, made welcome and repair was completed at little cost. Thank you. Would highly recommend.

We needed to find a restaurant for a table of nine at very short notice. I made a call and surprisingly the Grove had space for us. This was a Saturday lunchtime and there were plenty of tables available. The special menu on the blackboard was attractive at £9.95 for two courses. The main course was Salmon and cod fishcakes with new potatoes and peas or ham, egg and chips. These choices suited or party and enjoyed by all. Service was very good. This venue was great for our party of nine and did us well.

We took my uncle here for his birthday. It has been reasonable before but this time it was excellent! I had preordered scampi as I don’t eat meat and it was a huge and hasty portion. My uncle had the salmon which he said was delicious. My husband had the beef and he said was amazingly tender. The service is excellent and the price ridiculously low - I live near Oxford and food is much more expensive!

Went to Grove for 12-15 . Stroke Groups Christmas dinner . I am a volunteer at the monday group in Bridgend .I want to thank all the lovely staff that served us food was pipping hot and tasty pleanty of it , nothing was too much trouble they put tables out to hold yhe raffle gifts . We had a great afternoon. Thanks again 4 of us last to leave Tracy the group leader myself and 2 stroke victims had a last drink . Worth visiting food was great Merry Christmas all you where amazing 👍💖x

Really disappointed in our meals, it was always our favourite place but between there was hardly any selection and the meals were tiny and overpriced for frozen chips, tin peas which none of us really ate and the salads were dry. We won’t be going back unfortunately. It was supposed to be a birthday meal but once meals were done we left when normally we will usually stay and have a few more drinks. Disappointing!!

Went with friends for lunch service was good and the place itself was loveky but the food was dreadful. I ordered Beef Strogonoff it was terrible. Stewed steak in a bland tasteless sauce with nasty peas. Not a strogonoff at allwe were all disappointed with...

Lunched here recently with some friends and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was lovely, with good service and spectacular views.

Went to the Grove recently and mixed feelings about the food and service, nice welcome and shown to our table, (4 of us) waitress took our drinks order and then came back to take our food order, I had plumped for the 2 course at £9.95 and ordered the pate then the ham and coleslaw, pate was lovely but a bit too much as it was quite rich, waited quite a long time for all our mains to arrive and this is where the mixed feelings came into play. My mum had the plaice and she enjoyed that, one of my sisters had the turkey in pepper sauce, turkey was tender and plenty of it (but the sauce was more like gravy with peppercorns in it), my other sis had Cajun Hake and she said that was nice, my ham was disappointing as I had asked whether it was home boiled ham but no it was thin ham which you can buy in a supermarket, quite a lot of it but rather tasteless. All meals came with frozen chips and frozen peas and for the price we did expect freshly cooked proper chips!

Even though it was a hot day, I really fancied a cooked dinner with gravy! Turkey was a great choice by me as it was juicy and the veg was great! Lovely drinks and the staff were helpful and nice

If you want to go somewhere to relax and have great food with brilliant service this is the place to go

Visited yesterday for Sunday lunch. It was our first time and our last. The service was shockingly slow. The four of us were given a menu and shown to our table. Half an hour later we were still waiting for someone to take our order. We all ordered soup to start, waited another half hour for it to arrive and when it did it was only luke warm. Another half hour later with empty soup plates still in front of us we has to call someone to clear our table and bring our roasts. Then another long wait before our roasts came out. They were tasty enough but again only luke warm and only one small roast potato each! After we had eaten our dinners nobody came to clear our table or ask if we wanted desserts so after another half hour we had to call someone again to take our plates away. When we were eventually asked if we wanted dessert we all declined as we had already been there for 3 hours! Granted they were busy but you have to book a table so they know how many people are going to dine there. My advice is to employ more staff if you do not want to lose custom. Also, my partner wanted lamb & was told it was all gone but no other table could have been told that as an hour later it was still being served. Never again will we visit!!

Pleased overall with Sunday lunch meals offered on menu. Prompt delivery of meals after orders taken. Meals served were delicious. All in all a very satisfying Sunday lunch.

Wait to long for food to arrive Service slow Food was cold Silver dishes for veg are antics Waiters great Supervisor not very welcoming. Will not go again

Booked for Sunday lunch as we're at function the night before there.

Have lunched at the Grove often and have had fabulous food and service. Our last visit was in September. I ordered a meal from the specials board which was a steak and ale pie which was delicious. My partner ordered the minted lamb chops which were also vey nice. We always have a lovely time and will be returning again soon

Lovely starter of Garlic Mushrooms and very pleasant surprise with mains ordered off special board. Waiting for our food noticed how nice the next table food was looking

Always a warm welcome in the Grove. We have never booked as they always find us a table.Yesterday,weather was excellent and we watched the golf as we waited for lunch.

I am a regular visitor to the ‘Grove’ restaurant with its beautiful, relaxing views of the golf course. A perfect location for lunch with friends or an evening meal.

Große Speisekarte, alle gängigen Biere vom Fass. Schöne ruhige Terrasse mit Blicke auf Loch 18 und großzügiges Interieur. angemessenes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und sehr freundlicher Service

What can I say what a lovely view , i am not a golfer, but the sun was shinning, our choice of meals were delicious can highly recommend a visit!

What a delicious meal! The restaurant was busy, we had to wait a little while for our desserts but was definitely worth it! We will definitely call again

Outstanding service from the grove, staff stayed on for an extra 2 hours to host an afternoon tea for our mum, £9.95 ahead for an excellent selection of sandwichs and yummy cakes. Would def recommend. Big thank you from the Jones/Clatworthy clan 👍

My wife and I always pop to the grove if not sure where to go and in the area, we...

3 of us decided to call in to the grove today, we asked about afternoon tea, they said we needed to give 24 hours notice, but would see what they could do.. the lady in the restaurant appeared with a stand of sandwiches, scones and cakes,

popped in for lunch ... friendly staff, quick service, main room was set up for a wedding which looked great, will definitely call in again

I'm absolutely fuming after a visit to the Grove for afternoon tea for my grandmother's 96th Birthday. Although the booking was made two weeks previously, they had no record at all of the booking, therefore there was no table reserved. Their excuse for not knowing about the booking was that they were running two diaries rather than one - and the only compensation was £1 off the cost of each person's food. As a result of not knowing about the booking, the usual cakes that should have been offered (e.g. macaroons) was missing. What a complete and utter disgrace - the cheek of being offered just £1 off for each person as a result of their incompetency!!! As a result of this, I will never recommend the Grove as a place to visit.

Booked lunch for the 4 of us, we were sat in the main room, there were lots of other guest, service was quick and attentive, a delicious lunch!

Friendly service, extensive menu and reasonable prices. On a winters day grab a table by the window.

Excellent venue for our family get together. 21 of us were given a private room which was ideal as we had children with us. The service and food was first class and all the staff were so friendly. This is the third year for our family meal and will definitely be returning next year. Diolch yn fawr.

Had an early Xmas lunch with about 40 other senior men. The turkey dinner was very tastey. Even though the restaurant was very busy we were all served quickly with hot meals. The chef has won awards and these can be seen hung on the wall opposite the bar area. Ive eaten here before and scorched them by writing personally to the directors saying that a sunday lunch for a group of us was disgusting, cold and the meal came in waves. That was last year. I'm pleased to say that there was no repeat of that disaster. The service and staff were helpful and efficient. The turkey dinner was extremely good.

We, 4 of us, had Christmas lunch today at The Grove. Excellent meal, cooked to perfection. We had 3 courses finished off with Coffee and mince pie. The service was second to none. Our table was dressed beautifully, all the staff made us very welcome. Thank you, we will see you soon.

Visited the Grove Golf Club for Sunday lunch with the family. Not been for years & it has definitely gone downhill.

Visited several times over past year with friends .lovely welcome from all Good food good surroundings .sometimes good weather. Look forward to next visit

Thoroughly enjoyed would recommend, lots of food excellent portions even if a tad expensive for steak, would definitely return

Called at the Grove Golf Club for the first time for Sunday Lunch on Sunday 24th September. Spoke the the...

After much head-scratching over what do you give a sprightly 94 year-old for her birthday we settled on a family afternoon tea. Where? As my wife's mother lives in Porthcawl the Grove Golf Club seemed ideal. Enquiries revealed that they could easily cater for a party of nine on the Summer Bank Holiday 2017. This would certainly be something different.

Called in for an evening meal as this place had been recommended by friends. The greeting was friendly and we were seated at a window table with an excellent view. However after being handed the menus it was some while before our order was taken although we did notice people seated after us were being dealt with. The food eventually arrived, and to be fair we had a very nice meal. No real complaints but we had the feeling of being interlopers, it was very difficult to attract the attention of the waiting staff but others who seemed to be on more friendly terms (locals?) had no trouble.A satisfying meal but a more customer friendly attitude to all diners would be appreciated.

I've visited the Grove several times with my friend, who lives locally, either for lunch or for afternoon tea. This time it was lunch, and I'd booked a table for 12 30. When we arrived we were shown to our table immediately. Shortly afterwards I went to the bar to order drinks before our meal, and was asked to go back to the table to be served by a member of staff. This was no problem, except that it became an annoying pattern during the course of the lunch. Unlike most restaurants, where staff usually check at tables whether you want anything else, here you were left to go and ask - for more drinks, for example, or for dessert. Whenever I went to the bar I was told to go back to the table so that my order could be taken there. I wasn't impressed by this; it would have been easier for the person I spoke to simply to make a note of my request and pass it on if necessary. Having gone back to our table, I then had to wait a while for a staff member to come and take what was a straightforward order.When we'd had lunch previously at the Grove we were annoyed to notice that people on a few other tables had arrived after us but had their orders taken before ours. We waited considerably longer for our food to arrive than others did. On that occasion we were prepared to give the staff the benefit of the doubt but, when it happened again this time, we assumed that the very obviously regulars (groups of clearly retired people, probably members) were getting perferential treatment. That's just not good enough when all customers are presumably paying the same prices.The strong point for the Grove is that the food is in quite generous portions. It's cooked perfectly well, but the menu is very unexceptional - all the usual pub menu basics, like fish and chips, steak (just sirloin) , gammon, scampi and lasagne. If you order a roll and butter you'll get a very cheap, bland soft roll from a supermarket multi-pack, with two small catering packets of hard butter which are impossible to spread on the roll. If this is the kind if food that floats your boat, you'll like the Grove. The surroundings are very pleasant.We'd been prepared to give the Grove a good few chances, but we've decided we won't be going back again.

We have visited here many times over the last few years and always have had a most pleasant experience, not this time. I booked a table for Sunday for 4 people at 1400 hrs, we arrived in good time at 1345 hours and were told to take a seat on the outside seating area and we would be called when the table would be ready,after half an hour when no one came to get us I went inside to find out what was happening, the place was extremely full and very busy, I was told that our table was ready and that we should sit and menu's would be brought, which they were. We studied them and decided what we wanted, but no one came to take the order. At 1445 hours I decided to ask what was going on and would someone come to take our order, bearing in mind that this was now an hour after we originally arrived, one of the supervisors came to take the order was quite offhand with us, when we asked why we had been waiting for so long, "we are very busy you know" was what we were told, We could see this , but all we needed was to be kept informed, if they were so busy, why did they accept my reservation?. it grieves me to write this but however busy they were, all we needed to be kept informed.It spoiled what should have been a great day with friends we hadn't seen for some time unfortunately it was spoiled by poor service and a poor attitude. Shan't return .

Party of 20 for afternoon tea. Long table, although we were told that when we go again we should ask for a block table to enable us to have more conversation - personally I think they should either have automatically done that or asked when we booked! We were given 1 pot of tea and 1 of coffee for every 4 people; no milk on table when the pots arrived, so by the time the milk was found the pots were going cold. When someone asked for more tea they were told that it would be added to the bill as the charge only includes a certain amount of tea and coffee - it was then pointed out that several of the pots of coffee had not been touched, so they were rather grudgingly removed and more tea brought - again, why not ask what we wanted before bringing the pots out! One waitress was lovely, but the younger one seemed very sullen, Sandwiches were OK, choice of brown or white with ham & mustard, egg & cheese and a few tuna. Pastries were small and dainty. Scones were not the best I have had and it would have been nice ot have been provided with spoons for the jam and cream rather than having to use those provided for our drinks.

My wife and I had a lovely meal in restaurant today. Great views over the golf course. My wife asked for a glass of water which duly arrived in a nice glass with lemon and ice which was commendable a0s they do not charge for tap water. Will definitely return.

Went for Sunday lunch on Mothers Day. Good speedy service. Nicely sized portions. Have visited previously and will visit again.

This was the first time for us to come here for Sunday lunch, it was very busy.We were given a lovely table overlooking the 18th green.The main waitress was very good and communicative.The lunches were served quickly ,plenty and hot. The price was reasonable and our guests were very impressed with the premises and food. We look forward in returning in the future. I was surprised to see some previous reports.

I attended a wedding here just before Xmas and I know that it is primarily a golf club and has to cater for its members. However, they must be able to do something to properly cordon off the wedding catering area from the members bar. It just isn't right. Food was ok. Could be so much more

Not had many afternoon teas but this was by far the worst. Very bland and unimaginative. I had the GF option which was very poor couple of dried sandwiches and a bit of cake which was obviously shop bought - very disappointed particulary for the price. Don't waste your money

What an unwelcoming place to eat. Sullen abrupt staff with no obvious customer care skillsThe place was cold and so were the 2 waiting staff who just complained of being far too busyUninspiring menu and not the best quality food.It's a good job they have the golfing as without it the place would surely close?No sugar free deserts available for diabeticsObviously a haunt for retired golfersNot family friendlyThe views over the greens would be the best feature of the place if you didn't have to look through the condensation streaks in the patio doors.An experience not to be repeated

We paid 13.95 for afternoon tea with prosecco. The prosecco was an extra £4 over the normal £9.95 normal tea. The prosecco just over half filled the glass. The sandwiches were tasty and fresh, the scones, cream and jam were good. The other cakes were very small, there were 4 but only one of each. The 4 together probably made one full size cake and two very small macaroons.So, as I say it was ok but not the best afternoon tea.The place itself is very nice and relaxing.

Lovely lunch great service very welcoming, great food would definitely recommend and will be back. The views out of the conservatory of the golf course make it a perfect place to eat.

Had a excellent Sunday lunch for our Ruby wedding anniversary at the Grove golf club it was the best Sunday lunch we had eaten dining out and the waiting staff we're lovely and friendly definitely be dining there again.

Very quiet at restaurant, staff were very pleasant and helpful .Meals were served promptly and all in all family left fully satisfied with quality of our food. Would recommend if looking for good quality food in picturesque location.

Ten of us visited on a Wednesday evening in January to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. It was very quiet there so we didn't have to wait long for our well presented starters after ordering. Our main meals followed and each was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Service was very good and staff helpful. It is some years since we last visited but we are already looking forward to visiting again in the next few months.

22 members of our family met for a meal. The food was excellent and the service was second to none. Eventhough it was extremely busy there with a wedding also taking place in function room the service was prompt and very efficient. All the staff were very friendly. Will definately return.

Visited The Grove yesterday for afternoon tea, would recommend to everyone. Content was excellent and staff were friendly. Have visited other venues for afternoon tea but this was nicer than some places we have visited and the cost was excellent. Will visit again.

Visited here as a group of 11 including adults and children. Very busy on arrival but table was set and ready. Service was a little slow initially but it was very busy.Various Sunday roasts were ordered and were brought out promptly. The children's meals were a good size as were the adults. Meals were all served with two roast potatoes and your selection of meat. You could order additional Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese for a nominal charge.Desserts were also lovely and served with a choice of ice cream,custard or cream.Overall a really nice and tasty Sunday lunch we would definitely go back again.

Called here on August bank holiday Monday 2016. Great location and it was a warm sunny day. Was looking to have lunch. Not visited the Grove for lunch previously. I was surprised how outdated the restaurant area looked. Old fashioned with the full table cloth setting. Looked to formal for a casual lunch and very dated. It would look much more inviting with bare tables with just mats and cutlery . Otherwise the food was great and great customer service especially the Spanish lady.

Came here today for Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious & Great service will be returning very soon will highly recommend the Grove to Friends and Family

Visited here for my mother-in-laws birthday. In total there was 7 of us.Started off withe the table - instead of one large table, they put two round tables together. Then it just went downhill from there.The staff wasn't the best - bit too over friendly (calling people darling).The menu was very basic - I ended up having the spinach pasta - I think the chef forgot any seasoning - it was the blandest food I've ever had. My other half had the chicken curry, that looked like the packets you buy for home, and add water to. Plenty of chicken in it, but a bit basic.Other peoples' food wasn't great either. A few wanted mushrooms to start, but they were out - at 7pm on a Saturday....I was also charged £1.60 for a pint of soda water - basically tap water with a bit of fizz added by the machine. Most places don't charge for that, or if they do, it's a few pence.We won't be going back anytime soon. We have had a decent meal there a little while ago, but apparently the management / owners have changed.Don't recommend - no better than a Wetherspoons at double the price

When the here for a birthday lunch with friends , we all orderd and the lady taking orders was very helpful nothing was to much trouble . we didn't have to Waite very long for our meals to come .Well I can say that we all enjoyed our food it was lovely .After we finished we went and sat outside overlooking the golf green ,as it was a lovely day .

First time in the grove golf club for a meal. Food was great and plenty to eat. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The club was clean and tidy. When we sat down at the table our waitress took our drink order straight away and we did not have to wait to long for our meals. Only one criticism there was a birthday party the same night and the disco they had was very loud. But that's not the grove clubs fault. A most enjoyable meal.

Often travel down from Pontypool for Sunday lunch. Quality excellent for price. Staff brilliant and attentive. They all work really hard. One minor critisism, on last three occassions the accompanying veg has only been just about warm. Please, please can this be rectified. Hot plates would help.

Don't usually write reviews but being a very fussy person, felt this deserved a good review after coming away very happy. Table was booked for 5pm, one of the last tables of the day after what had been an extremely long & busy day for the staff, but service was excellent, all staff friendly and tentative. Roast dinner was delicious, home made tasting, plentiful, hot and fresh. Deserts and coffee also lovely. Tables cleared very quickly, everything spotlessly clean and comfortable. Will definitely return as all the family (2 children, 2 adults and one elderly) very much enjoyed - thank you all :-)

I went here with my partner on a Thursday evening because of a groupon voucher. The service was very good and fast. We both had mushrooms for starters which were delicious and came with enough bread to soak up the lovely sauce. Steak for main course was also very nice and cooked just as we had asked I was impressed. The only thing that let the food down for me was the chips as they were your standard frozen style chips you get and not homemade. But you did get plenty of them which is nice. The decor In the restaurant is a bit dated and the lighting was quite bright making it lose a bit of atmosphere.Overall very nice meal and I would recommend

We took advantage of Groupon vouchers to try breakfast and afternoon tea at the Grove.Breakfast was generous. freshly cooked and nicely presented. It's great value at the standard price of £5.95. Being picky, I'd rather have one really good sausage than 2 that were okay, but otherwise is was fine. Coffee/tea are included, and a pot not a cup with refills added. I'm pretty sure the coffee was instant, but drinkable anyway. I'm sure we'll go again for breakfast.The afternoon tea was fairly standard fare. Not especially luxurious, but the Prosecco was lovely and there were lots of strawberries garnishing the cakes which was a nice extra touch. The biggest disappointment was the cold shop bought scones; they were fresh but nothing special although the generous amount of jam and cream helped a bit.The best thing on both occasions was the service, Very friendly and efficient, andwould definitely encourage me to return to try their main menu.

Ok it was maybe the first sunny day since time began ( in Wales anyway). And we did have the best seat in the house...( overlooking the green and the Swansea bay beyond). But - my o my what a splendid afternoon tea. I love those silver stands and all the little dainty morsels and to top it off a couple of strawberries in the prosecco ! I'm not sure whether this is available every day ( we got ours from Groupon ) but if you are an afternoon tea fan I would imagine this was a great way to spend those rare sunny moments in South Wales.

Family gathering of 19 adults and 3 children. Excellent service. Excellent food. Great value for money. Definitely recommend.

I had high hopes for the food at the Grove Golf club having read reviews. What a disappointment, decidedly average. We visited with friends for an even and we decided to have a bar meal there as well. I had lasagne which was presented in a dish on a diner plate with a side of salad and peas. It tasted OK but there wasn't much pasta amongst the sauce.

I first went here for Afternoon tea with friends. It was delicious, endless pots of tea and when one of the group asked for extra sandwiches they were delivered straight away and with no extra charge.I was so impressed we went for lunch as a family the following weekend.Great friendly helpful service.Loads of food and lovely puddings. We were totally stuffed! it's a lovely light restaurant with super views over the golf course. Tables are well spaced out which helps as my Mum is quite elderly and walks with a stick. I would go back to try the Sunday lunch here. We thought everything was reasonably priced too.

Had a family Sunday lunch. Very quick and friendly service, reasonable portions but could have done with extra vegetables. That said, veg was very tasty and not over cooked. Gravy was excellent. No childrens menu but Sunday roast available for kids too.

had a cream tea with prosecco here via a offer on groupon for £13.99 for 2 people, the staff are really friendly and it is a lovely place overlooking the golf course, we had a pot of coffee between two and a three tier stand with various sandwiches salmon, egg and mayo, cheese and branston and ham and mustard which were nice, two scones and jam and cream, and a few other small cakes, a small glass of prosecco each, it was a nice treat for the price we paid but was not very filling, i would not pay full price for it as i dont see it worth what i pain with wowcher even, did enjoy but thought it would have been better than it was.

Visited for a evening meal with our discount vouchers £8 for two courses, prawn cocktail starter, plentiful served on a bed of salad with a slice of bread. Steak main course, cooked beautifully with side salad and a load of chips, ordered pepper sauce a extra £2 came in a gravy boat and enough for 4 people. Staff very pleasant thank you very much.

We visited for lunch with our 4 month and 21 month old. The staff were very friendly and there was plenty of room to house us and all the kit that comes with a young family. Food was good and very reasonably priced, our 21 month old had a small Lasagne and really enjoyed it. Would recommend to families with young children.

Yesterday visited to play in the rearranged Veterans Open Day The course was in excellent condition and the event efficiently run. Good value food both in terms of quality and quantity.

My car was being repaired locally and the mechanic suggested "The Grove" for lunch while he fixed a small problem. So off we went to "The Grove " The staff are superb, attentive but not pushy. The restaurant tastefully decorated and the tables well laid out. A nice atmosphere was therefore created. My wife & I are not members but the staff made no exception and treated us very well. I had an amazing "Steak Pie" with the trimmings i.e. home made chips and veg of the day. I cannot remember when I last had such a tasty pie, full of great junks of beef and wonderful gravy. My compliments to the cook. My wife had the vegetarian option which she loved albeit a little too hot for her to start with. We were seated at the window seat opposite the 18th green. A wondrous view of the 18th hole with the "Swallows skimming the course hunting flies for their young".I enjoyed the draught beer on offer and my wife had a nice glass of Merlot. A real treat to find such a fine lunch and location. Will come again

We had afternoon tea at The Grove on a very wet and miserable day. We turned up early and the staff were very friendly and helpful... even getting a plaster and lots of sympathy for our injured child!The drinks were served to us immediately. A large pot of tea for me, large pot of decaff coffee, a mocha and a hot chocolate. The large pots were a nice touch as it is often annoying having to wait for top ups. My daughter loved her hot chocolate which was creamy and chocolatey and really hit the spot after a wet morning in Porthcawl.The afternoon tea of sandwiches, cakes and scones was all delicious. The Grove was a lovely setting too with what would be beautiful views over the course of the weather would cooperate! We had a very enjoyable afternoon there.
