Hi Tide in Bridgend

My pit stop in Porthcawl Love it.

Great place to stop off for a drink and take in the sea views, but bet it gets busy in the summer...

Plenty of rooms to go in can also get food and drink there also have live music

Free parking at the rear lovely sea front deck fantastic views across to Porth cawl

The hide tide is really good only thing is that somtimes I spend £5 and get like 50p or £1 worth of stuff🤣

Loved it her child friendly always made to feel welcome

It is surprisingly big with many rooms for different sized functions. A great place for parties and celebrations. Friendly staff on hand to help.

Excellent position with indoor and outdoor seating, overlooking the beach and picturesque lighthouse and Quay. Food very good value for money and staff very helpful and polite, car park available but didn't use.

Went for Elvis festival, fabulous afternoon, great entertainment. 🎶🎶

Great atmosphere but very expensive Elvis weekend put prices up just for that weekend

Fantastic atmosphere great staff and service

Tables too close together. Struggled to get past all the pushchairs. Food expensive for what you get. The place is in a fairly good location and had a good function room if you needed it.

Great arcade. Lots of fun.Staff friendly and helpful

Nice place to have a drink and watch the world go by

Great atmosphere lovely camping weekend with the family. Great entertainment at the hightide and lovely food.

Nice relaxed vibe to watch the world go by, reasonable prices on all drinks. Food is very nice too.

The huntschicken was apparently good The curry was absolutely delicious 😋 The fish and ships was Alright The Sunday dinner was omg so so delicious 😋

Well situated on the seafront and close to town and entertainment. Facilities are at one end of a longish site so can be a trek from some parts. Facilities did get a bit dirty and some cleaning was not as good as could be but that was due in part to the sandy location and the visitors.

Lovely beach, mostly quiet but it's the best one in that area in my opinion. Stunning views, sand is golden and it has lots of shops nearby. Some lovely restaurants too.

Great arcades selection of food and gift stalls and a fun fair which is pricy

Expensive but good food and Guinness. Cheap to stay on the van park too. Had a great weekend away.

Love this place clean and tidy place ideal on a rainy day love they put fireworks displays on regular

Very loud, noisy from music and slot machines, very busy. Entertainment sounded good, but very loud. Need more staff cleaning and clearing tables in the bar. Toilets need cleaning more often too. If you love loud music and amusement arcades this is the place for you!

Excellent venue for food and live entertainment. Great atmosphere as always👌family friendly and welcoming.

As rough as sandpaper. Like Benidorm in south wales,but a Wish version with the arse end of society freqenting the place

toilets especially the male's are stinking, my husband had to go back to our caravan to use the lol, he said the floor was flooded with urine.

Lovely service staff here.Sat at the beach front enjoying a glass of wine on a hot sunny day with family. Really enjoyed our visit.Thank you

Lovely to sit down, have a drink whilst watching the world go by. Did not have food but it looked fantastic what I saw

love the arcades always brought the kids here then chippy after. upstairs is closed at the mo which is a shame as the mini bowling was fun when it worked

Enjoyable live music and decent food

Love going here for a nice coffee on a Saturday morning after walking our dog on the beach

Very nice atmosphere, lovely food, But' disappointing on this occasion top of lasagne was burnt, hidden by cheese, complained but response from young bar lad, SORRY ill tell the cheff. No offer of exchange or money off bill. Disappointing on this one occasion.

Staff were friendly, service was reasonably quick. The food was good. The tables were clean, which, for me, shows a good level of staff effort. Would go again.

I sent an email to them asking about the Sunday Carvery. I emailed on the Thursday, it took nearly a week to respond. By this time, I was already back from my holiday. I'm glad I didn't dine here with my family, if they can't be bothered to reply to an email, they have proven customer service is not of a high standard. The food could be amazing, the custom service is poor!

Lovely food as always and nice relaxed place just to chill out enjoying the lovely Welsh seaside weather

Amazing weather amazing and clean beach Lovely friendly locals

Simply brilliant....people.. beach food customer service brilliant...bloody marvellous!!!

Great place to take the grandkids,bag of 2pences and a selection of pushers in the arcade keeps em entertained ,ice cream hub next door.bar for adults to have a drink,with seating outside also on seafront so great for taking the kids.

Sweatfest, Rowdy, Chavvy central

Nice, cheap day out for the whole family

Fair rides great, and for 10 pound a wristband I thought was good value for money, family fun occasion, which we all enjoyed.

Food and waiting staff were excellent,food hot,no mistakes,brilliant..ate there 2 nights on the trot

A great pub but very busy as they have live music

From Mon 22/7 lunchtime visit. It's to be marked positive in access to the beaches. Went in for food had tuna and red onion panini served with crisps . Wait time was low but the food was underwhelming to be honest, could have been wrong choice on my part but tuna was sandwich filler type,rather than freshly made, lettuce was not fresh. Smacked of cheap ingredients to maximise profit margin. Wouldn't go there again personally but looking at overall ratings am in the minority camp.

Good selection of games and grabbers. Staff can be a little grumpy, but always help out. Ticket prizes could be a LOT better though. Update- still really poor prizes.

Spent a few hours at prorthcawl today. Visited the place for some food and a few drinks. Had the fish and chips and was very enjoyable. Beer was good and it has an amazing view to enjoy with your friends. Would love to be there at sunset.

Called in here for lunch , was able to take the dog in too .Food ok and staff helpful

A little bit of a upgrade since I was there 5 years ago but still a good place for a sit down and a meal

Lovely place to came for food and drinks, amazing atmosphere, and credit where it's due gabby is a credit to u, amazing customer service skills, and a lovely lady il deffo be bck again

A brilliant venue for a hen party we had recently!! Super friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed and the buffet food was so tasty and so filling!! The room was one of the smaller ones but still had plenty of space, really good value for money and right on the sea front too! Thank you so much for making our experience so great!!

Our food was beautiful, well cooked and very tasty. Staff were excellent in their duty, speedy, pleasant and polite.

Views are great so can be a great place. Depends on people around!

Absolutely gorgeous carvery will definitely be going again. Good value for what you got.

I have been to the Hi Tude on more than one occasion and it is a great place to be. On the Saturday afternoon I was there they had entertainment a singer who was excellent. In fact we had seen the same singer entertaining at Parkdean Carmarthen Caravan Park earlier in the year. Lots of seating areas and on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the bay-view which is stunning.

Sat outside had relaxing time..friendly staff..gets busy but still nice place for sit down watch the world go by

I’ve performed here a few times with ‘Night At The Opera’ - Queen Tribute band, and each time it’s been a great night, prior to which I always have a meal from the bar which yet again was first class and brilliant service.

Great atmosphere, nice pint, great location and a superb fireworks display.

Great day to sit outside the Hi Tide with a beer and enjoy the music

Really good amusement arcade, friendly staff.

Food come bk could ant all over the place would not go back at all

Love the arcade, great afternoon out to relax

A great family fun centre, reasonably priced machines with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. The place is spotless and machines are being regularly cleaned too. There's a cafe inside with plenty of seating and again reasonably priced with good choice. Toilets are spotless and smell nice too well worth a vist ! Thansk Hi tide

This is a good place for arcade games and pop next door to harbour light for a meal or a quick drink or few. You right next to the beach, so maybe a stroll down the beach after.

Total fun place can easily spend more than you wanted too 😉

Always a nice place to sit and watch the world go by

Myself and my husband went to porthcawl last weekend to have look around and to play some of the games and also pool. We had great time will be going again soon.

Unfortunately run down. And most things closing off due to the fair being shut down

Good entertainment great place right on the beach and sea front and has also a caravan and motorhome site next to the car park.

Lovely family carvery this Sunday, meat was delicious.

Lovely beach and a great time at the arcades.

30 odd quid for 2 fish and chips frozen fish out of a box. what a rip off. won't eat there again that's for sure

In front of the beautiful sandy beach 🏖️ Lots of game options and great atmosphere Staff members are very lovely and welcoming people ❤️🫡and helpful too.

brilliant service lovely food great venue staff brilliant . ideal wedding venue no matter what the weather.

Poor experience here today, and uncertain about my future as a customer here. Have been a regular customer here for years, often bringing my dog along. Usually it's my partner and I, so one of us can pop in to get a drink while the other waits in their outdoor shaded area. This time however, it was just myself and the dog. HiTide informed that they don't allow dogs inside, but allowed another woman to enter with her dog, which was not a service dog. I tried to order a drink from the side window which had a "Till 1, food and drinks served here" sign. The bar worker refused to serve through the window, going so far as to shout through the window that I can't order from that window, I asked if dogs are allowed inside and if I could come in to order a drink and the woman said no. So I asked if she could open the window to serve me through there, as it was signposted as a Till area. She refused. I don't see what the big problem is, personally. It's a minor adjustment for a regular customer that is in keeping with their policy. The staff are usually quite rude, but they afford to be, since they don't make most of their money until the annual Elvis Festival anyway. Very upset after today's visit, we left without a drink. Why advertise as dog friendly, by allowing dogs outside, and by having dog bowls dotted around, but not allowing said customers with dogs to make purchases? Silly approach if you ask me.

Great place with good food, drink & entertainment!!!

Lot's of family fun. Worth a visit.

Excellent Great staff Friendly staff Dog friendly Great experience They have the right approach to business and cater for humans, and canine xx

Nice place to chill and have some drinks by the Porthcawl beach front.. they also do some nice food here and serve cooked dinners on Sundays.. And during summer times it does get busy.

Went to job fayre with my daughter excellent location and staff were really friendly too

Had £70 win on machine in 18+ in middle of game attendant came over switched machine off in middle of game and gave us £35 moaning about closing time !!!! Definatley would not recommend Better off going to Barry island !!!!

Manic machines and fun, has bowling, toilets and a cafe

Went for the Christmas day swim

Hi-Tide is a lovely spot to get some drinks and a bite to eat whilst you're down visiting Porthcawl. Prices are fair, views are lovely and there's plenty of seating inside and out. When we visited two members of our party wanted a Fanta and a Mocha which they don't serve. Other than that, not a bad spot!

Fantastic night great service. Really great atmosphere

Always a good selection of entertainment going. Drinks are reasonably priced and most events are free. Great place when the sun is shining. Good place to hide from the rain!!

A great place to get changed for the Christmas day swim! It's really good of them to allow it!

Excellent staff very warm welcome

The buffet for £15 a head was horrendous. Some of our party did not have the choice at the end of the line as those at the beginning. Tiny templates with chips it was more like a kids teaparty.

Always a giggle, been coming years and will continue to!

Thanks for a great night on Friday 1st Dec for our Xmas Dance Fit Party & accommodating a big size group. Well done to all the staff that worked that night from the entertainment to the food/bar staff!

A big place that comes into its own during the Summer. Mainly known for tribute acts. Amazing Elvis atmosphere today!! Had a good night there this evening. Food was good too! Only one drawback, the music was DEAFENING!! My ears are still ringing!

Every time I go there the prices have gone up! Never eaten here because the meal look cheap and nasty! Don’t go here in the Summer months as you’ll encounter the scumbags from Trecco bay.

After paying for a weekend on the campsite, I was given a key for the toilets and showers. So far so good. That's where it all stopped as every lock had duck tape on the outside so everyone was using them. Dog walkers, joggers, kids just off the beach.. Bit unfair really when I paid yet everyone was allowed to use them for free

Food was awesome service with a smile great place will definitely be visiting again

Stopped in mid afternoon for lunch, server was nowhere to be seen for a good 10 minutes. Steak sandwich was inedible, steak too tough to eat or even to cut once taken out of roll. Chips luke warm and soggy looking. Customer service was just not there. Staff were either around chatting to each other about pay or outside with no service to customers at all.

Nice little place for a couple of days. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Nice clean beach area. Hi tide is good with plenty of seating, good food and friendly staff for the most part. One particular door man was a tool who obviously thinks he size was licence to try and intimidate people, he didn't lol. Overall a good experience and a place I'd visit again.

One of the best indoor amusement and play area. Kids will enjoy and you can get some gifts by using tickets.

Excellent seaside pub and venue offering great views over the beach and coastline. Good choice of beers and lager, great menu, and plenty of space for everyone. (Except during the Elvies of course!) Dog friendly except in the bar area, but there’s a great covered area for wet days where dogs are welcome.

Myself and my Mother had the most lovely fish and chips. Beautiful coffee. Staff friendly. Thank you

Ok if you got a good bank balance , certainly not shy on price.
