Llangeinor Arms in Bridgend

Fantastic view, great location, lovely conservatory but staff couldn't cope with a large pre booked party and the food was mediocre, undercooked steak, over cooked salmon, no pepper or sauce and they ran out of steak knives and the nut roast had no nuts

Great food, great atmosphere, cockles, bacon and laver bread stunning 😁😁

Only stopped for a pint but nice atmosphere and beautiful views 😍 We will be back to try the food 👍

We visited the Llangeinor Arms for the first time last night, on the spur of the moment for an evening meal. When we arrived, the lady behind the bar asked if we had booked, and I said no. She said it would be fine if we ordered right away, which was great. I asked where should we sit, as no direction was offered, and was told 'anywhere'. We moved into the main pub area only then to be told it was all booked apart from one table next to the bar, which we took. So, not exactly 'anywhere'. I ordered 'Luxury Nut Roast' with chips, and my partner ordered steak and ale pie with chips. The indifferent lady behind the bar took our order but really didn't seem to be that bothered. Whilst waiting for our meals, our drinks arrived, and we sat there amazed at the conversations we witnessed between customers and the bar lady! One guy ordered his drinks and asked for two packets of crisps and was told 'we don't have any crisps'. What pub doesn't have any crisps? Another guy asked if the Strongbow was dry and was greeted with a confused look; he repeated,'I just want to check if the Strongbow cider is dry?' The response from the lady behind the bar was,'I don't know!' with a big smile on her face. So the guy said, in that case, I'd better stick with...' (whatever it was.). When our food arrived my 'Luxury Nut Roast' consisted of what looked like, and tasted like, a dried packet of nut roast mix, which had had hot water poured on it, mushed into a dish, and microwaved! It resembled a dish of Paxo stuffing that hadn't been baked. The chips were very overcooked, but oddly enough were rubbery, not crisp! Before ordering, the lady behind the bar had said the nut roast was a bit dry, but I could have a sauce if I wanted. I asked what the sauce options were, thinking it might be a cranberry or peppercorn and was told 'tomato ketchup' lol. My partner had steak and ale pie with peas and chips. The 'pie' consisted of a casserole dish of meat in gravy with a puff pastry lid served with the same brown rubbery chips. I can honestly say, without doubt, this was the worst meal I've ever had in a pub! The complete and utter 'couldn't care less' attitude of the lady behind the bar only compounded the disappointment. To be fair, the Llangeinor Arms is a beautiful pub, spotlessly clean, and is in an absolutely stunning location! Sadly, the terrible food and poor service let it down! Truly appalling! It's definitely a first and last time visit!

Great lunch, beautiful views would definitely return 👌

A hidden gem. Location - terrific views; tasty, well cooked food and warm friendly service. Can’t fault it.

Great service beautiful food and amazing staff can't recommend this place enough will be going back that's for certain.

Great place to eat/drink. Indoors/out, with outstanding service and views

Had me the 44oz tomahawk steak and devoured it to the 🦴👌🏻

Service was not the back brought main meals before starters had to be reminded more than once about things ordered, and the steak in the photos was meant to be medium rare

We were there last Saturday. Great service, very friendly, nothing too much trouble. Food was just as amazing as I remembered since before lockdown. The makeover of the conservatory is stunning!. They have worked very hard to accommodate everyone. Well done to them all. I'm booking this Saturday too!!

Always good food. Great location.

Excellent food, good reputation

Excellent food and really good staff recommend the place

Lovely food, good size portions and amazing friendly service

Friendly staff ,delicious meal.Beautiful scenery.

We went on a Sunday and there's no kids menu, so keep your fussy ones at home or go somewhere else. Nice place, a bit old school.

Lovely food Nice feel vibe, country House 🏡

Quite average. Visited Friday for a party. Food was okay but no different to any other pub meal, the chicken wasnt overly impressive. Lots of servers but still generally quite slow with service. Not a bad place by any means but not much going on.

Pathetic. The staff were rude and seemed bothered everytime we wanted to order drinks even though they stopped us from ordering at the bar and asked for us to call them over instead. The food was horrid and overpriced. We had small portions and to put it plainly the food was bland and dreadful all round Also they were only doing a roast dinner which is fine so we asked for one of the people with us to have chicken goujons as a main and we were told they'd out a few extra on than a statter and they could have sone chips. I couldn't help but laugh when they brought out 3 microwaved chicken goujons Never come here. One of the worst experiences we've had

Absolutely lovely food. Very warm and friendly 😊 looking forward to going back.

We’ve celebrated our son’s first birthday in here. It’s very special moment for us. The ambiance, overall experience gave us plenty of memories.

Great pub/restaurant in a lovely location

Went for sat evening meal. Decent pub food and pub beer. Disappointed was made to sit in bar area when the conservatory wasn't full.

As a family,we were celebrating our father's birthday. A warm welcome to us all. Food was excellent as always. Staff are lovely and accommodating. In the summer, the views across the valley are stunning.

Great countryside pub, with beautiful views and amazing food. The food was cooked fresh and homemade chips were amazing and the portion sizes are great!

There's certainly no welcome on the hillside here. Will not return.

Food is always good here. Staff attention and care much improved with the youngsters engaged. Gets full marks from me.

Good food nice pint great service thanks

Really lovely lunch here with my friend. Ordered the cod and chips which had a lovely crisp batter, chips were hand cut. Friend had chicken with a mushroom sauce, tasted lovely. Both of us had the lemon cheesecake for dessert, which was amazing. Service was good, nothing too much trouble!

Great staff and lush food,just a bit pricey

Food great, staff friendly and attentive

This was our first pub visit since moving to the valleys and the food easily surpassed the amazing views. The staff were lovely and in all it was a superb night. Thank you for having us.

Fantastic location and lovely lunch.

Beautiful Sunday lunch . Thoroughly enjoyed .

A lovely pub situated on top of a mountain with great views

Absolutely divine , the service was impeccable and very quick . , the food delicious , I don't normally finish my meal wherever it is but I did here , the chicken was beautifully cooked, peppercorn sauce scrumptious, my friend had steak cooked to perfection. And take a minute or two for the chips best this side of the bridge and beyond, hone made .. and homemade lemon cheesecake deserves its own gold star melt on your mouth mention too . And not least the view and decor... will definately recommend to anyone and return , thank you. 🌸

Sat outside as we had walked up with the dog. Beautifully views lovely food and friendly staff.

Called and booked in same day Food was very nice will be going again soon

Very nice and the best views , anywhere, food was very good ,and the service friendly and efficient.

Great countryside pub, with beautiful views and amazing food. The food was cooked fresh and homemade chips were amazing and the portion sizes are great! I had the bbq chicken stack and my husband had the sirloin steak. The staff were really friendly and attentive… I would definitely come back in the future. Would definitely recommend this pub, I wouldn’t let any bad reviews put you off as me and my husband could not fault it at all. They also accept card payments as well as cash and the young lad was pleasant. He showed us to our table, took our order and was really helpful too.

Great service. Excellent Sunday lunch. Food cooked to perfection and fresh. Lamb and beef were superb.highly reccomend

really good food, service was great and the table we sat on was perfect inside the conservatory area, the view was really good from right up the top of the mountain, I had a double 1/4 pounder burger very nice

Great views from the terrace out the front

Basic pub food and friendly staff

Revisited couple of days ago and due to a few negative reviews was wondering if it had gone down hill. I can report that is not the case and it still is a lovely location, lovely food, good atmosphere and lovely staff. Negative reviews must have been an off day! ( We all have them) still plenty of parking. It is pub grub and may be a couple of quid more than a Harvester but look at the location! We all have to make a living!

Appaling, The woman behind the bar had a child operating the till system but the card reader was not working. We had ordered our food and then told cash only.. I had to leave the pub drive into the village and draw out cash. Our meals were placed in front of my wife while I was 3 miles away getting cash. APPALLING. Shocking experience Basil Fawlty run a better setup. Let's face it some people should not be in the hospitality industry. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Sorry to say not a good experience food very greasy no salad garnish and beer very expensive shame used be a very nice place to eat

Beautiful pub, fantastic views, comprehensive menu, food very well presented and delicious service very good atmosphere friendly and relaxing definetly recommend 👌

After spending the day walking the nearby hills, and admiring the excellent views from up top, we were really looking forward to a cold drink when we got back. Unfortunately upon entering the establishment we were told they were closing at five. Totally understandable, I wouldn't want to work past my hours either. That being said it was only 4:15! Most have looked like we were slow drinkers........

Had lovely mixed grill 20oz Wife had lasagne sorry to say wasn't the busy look nice but no taste and no pasta in it ,for £14 no salad with it x

Great service, delicious food and a fantastic view!

Small car park, pub food a little expensive

Lovely place, lovely staff. Food wasn't great.

Decent meal, burger was a bit tough. Outdoor seating would be great on a sunny day.

To be honest, the service was a lot better than the quality of the food. It wasn't bad, but it was very expensive relative to the quality. I ordered the 32oz mixed grill, and both the steak and the gammon were very dry (the steak was not the medium that I ordered - it was more like well done). I can't fault the service, though.

Great food with a good selection of classic pub meals. Nice area to have a meal, will definitely be back.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and friendly staff

Fabulous venue, Andrew and his staff very friendly, and food incredible. Always a lovely evening. Continue what you're doing.

Beautiful venue...sadly the weather wasn't good so we couldn't appreciate the lovely views...nevertheless the pub was amazing

270 degree Amazing views. Actual home cooked food. The chips were hand cut & soft & crispy. Staff were chatty & helpful. Shame it closed at 3pm on a Good Friday & Saturday Easter weekend. Could have spent hours here. Not sure about Taxi’s in the area though 🤷‍♂️

Lovely place with a wonderful view. Lovely staff

I went here last year in February and I gave a 5 * for the food but went last night for my 50th & I was very disappointed in the meal, my husbands lava bread was very poor compared to last year, we didn't have peas with our t bone steak like last year, my daughter in laws burger was very tough, my son & daughters steak on their mixed grill was cold as if just come from the fridge, we was very disappointed 😞

All good but the owner needs to chill out more not try to be a teacher telling you off

Very peaceful and beautiful environment. Food quality is excellent.

Food was good,service was good too.

Lovely service and a great Sunday lunch with turkey and a lovely stuffing. One star off for the bland, loveless vegetables but an extra one added for the glorious location and y golygfeydd braf (fine views)!

overall my sirloin steak was medium rear and yet somehow dry it cost £5 for a half litre of coca cola and that was before the cost of living the chips were so bad i was on suicide watch for a year and a half afterwards and only now i am off it can write about it.

Best hot chocolate in South Wales 😋

Beautiful food. Always a pleasure to visit.

Lovely place, food is good, very pleasant and quick service.

13 of us went for a birthday meal, excellent service, all 13 meals came out together which i guess isn't an easy task!! Food was delicious, home made chips were amazing. Highly recommend Llangeinor Arms and will definitely be returning.

Fabulous birthday meal.. Great restaurant, lovely staff

Don't tell everyone, I want to keep it my secret place ☺️

Great choice on the menu - lovely friendly staff. It was quite busy but the service was excellent. Tables arranged well so that it didn't feel crowded.

Would have had 5 stars all round but would NOT take scotish notes in payment. They ARE legal tender in the UK!! Otherwise top notch food and service.

Lovely gastro pub beautiful meal with real chips,reasonably priced been here a few times now.

Always a great meal and welcome. Spectacular views in summer. New conservatory a real winner.

walked all the way up a mountain for it to be closed even though the website said it was open. Not happy.

Lovely jubbly food was great waitress was brilliant great job boss should be proud

Had a lovely meal with family who live close by. Beautiful views, shame it was raining. Highly recommended.

Great place good food helpful pleasant staff

Celebrating my grandsons 21st Birthday. Had a very enjoyable meal and evening

Lovely meal good value will go again.

Food was hot & delicious definitely will return.

Very disappointed. £7 for a prawn cocktail which was in a tiny dish cucumber around and prawns which were hard and tasteless. Chips were hard. Told at 2.40 to say they were closing at 3pm and the waitress wasn’t amused when it was pointed out that it was only 2.40. We’ll give this a miss in future

Very expensive ,poor presentation .Small portions ..Steak was tough with lots of gristle plate full of peas no garnish one button mushroomn cut in half !! Very disappointing won't be going there again .

Good pub food. Attentive and speedy service. Reasonable price.

Lovely views and and great food and real person portions

Rubbish! They put veg in everything to save putting meat in dishes. Ok if ur vegetarian Don't bother. Go elsewhere!!

Fabulous views! I recommend to all our guests to visit as the food is good along with a lovely day out.

As a vegiterian the choice is poor unfortunately I found on two occasions I've had vegetarian meals the lasagne is made with carrot peas and other veg although it should be made with Mediterranean veg peppers and mushrooms and courgette. The veg curry had large florets of brocoli and cauliflower in the curry and on top. Chips used to be the best but now are more like wedges with skin on. Not nice I'm sorry as I used to love the arms. But I have to be honest.

Lovely, good friendly service, good food, amazing views, will go again.

We booked a table there last night and when we arrived we were shown into the conservatory which had two party's going on and was very loud and noisy so we asked for a table inside which we were given. Ordered our drinks and was given a dirty glass so asked for a clean one the barmaid just wiped the dirty one and gave it back to me. Ordered our food and when it arrived it was not great. Tasted like a curry ready meal so couldn't eat it. Not the best experience at this pub we have been before and had great service and lovely food but sadly we won't be going back.

Nice food. Found prawn cocktail starter expensive for small portion

Very bad customer service. The male manager here is so incredibly rude and puts this beautiful location to shame. I called to prepay for my fathers Sunday lunch this Father’s Day, I’m in Canada and wanted to surprise my dad that I had paid for his lunch, he has cancer and has been feeling very unwell, but the manager was very impatient and told me he’s too busy for this and hang up the phone on me. He literally and simply hung up, the line was clear and in no way was the line disconnected, he just refused to let me do this for my dad because he didn’t want to take the few minutes it would take for me to pay over the phone. The worst customer service that I have ever experienced, and if he treats customers like this, then I really feel for his staff. I will never go back here again, there are lots of lovely restaurants around the area. I have never left a bad review for anything before, but since my dad has cancer and I’m not able to be there this Father’s Day, the harsh impatience and abrupt “I have no time for this” and hanging up the phone is extremely disappointing.

Pleasant warm welcome. Toilets clean. Good menu with local ingredients (where possible). Quality good. Views wonderful. Prices reasonable (felt prawn cocktail wasn't good value, but everything else fine). One real ale available at time of our visit (Reverend James). This was our first visit for many years (simply forgot about the place), looking forward to a future visit.

Nit impressed. Our friend that live locally took us fir lunch. We wanted a light lunch but really nothing on the menu other than main meals. I settled on soup. Heinz tomato as a guess served with a slice of bread for £5.50. What q right off. My friend asked if she could have a jacket and salad both on the menu separately and asked uf they could do that with a topping. Answer was no. Rude owner who didn't want to here what I had to day about there lack of accommodation of our needs.

A real gem of a place. Amazing food, great service, stunning views!

Beautiful surroundings, very accommodating and friendly
