Prince Of Wales in Bridgend

My number one pub in Porthcawl, it's for locals more than tourists. Lovely beer garden with a snug full of characters. Pleasant bar staff that actually talk and have the craic with. I won't be going anywhere else in the future...

Lovely lunch ,extras veg if you want it, really nice friendly staff

Lovely Sunday lunch today 14.7.24 Service was brilliant Host was so nice and friendly definitely go back again

Excellent place interesting and quaint

Visited on the 5/5/24 staff were very friendly. They squeezed 8 of us in for Sunday lunch may I add was absolutely stunning they never once complained about the child 2 had behaviour problems (ADHD and ASD) the waitress who served us made myself and mother in-law feel at ease as it's stressful going out for food at the best of times I would 100% recommend to other family's

Great little boozer. Friendly welsh barmaid s . So kind great beer . .

Lively and a nice place for a drink with friends and family.

I received a warm welcome the few days I was there, as I took a mini break from my hike around the uk. Locals were friendly as were the staff, some banter which I was happy to return, but it's not for everyone. One of the locals even offered me a tent.

Always enjoyed this pub meal atmosphere unfortunately not able to get in touch due to advertising being open when trying to phone no success 😔

Great home made food, plenty of, great price. Superb service and atmospheric

Food was on cold side but edible. Lovely staff and can't do enough for you

great venue what a pub always worth a visit friendly staff

Great place, very friendly staff. The best pub in porthcawl

Not bad little pub they were playing darts

Well we in had two pints of magners and it horrible l ask the bartender to change my glass because it had a bad smell oh she changed while eating a fish shop greasy sausage l was disgusted about l won't be going there a again we walk out and left our pints lve going to porthcawl for 60 years lm shocked how l was served like that.

Visited the pub for the 1st time in more than 40 years. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hopefully not another 40 years before I visit again

The food was fantastic, very delicious Well prepared and a very good amount of it. Will definitely come back again for food. Thank you for a lovely time.

Lovely old pub real fires great atmosphere . Will definitely recommend

This is, by far the worst Pub in Porthcawl. Track suit wearing Chavs stood at the bar swearing. Dogs running around under no control. The Landlord is sat at the bar with a pint in front of him, arguing with said chavs, but this was 4.30 in the afternoon! A proper, rough, chavs place. Horrible dump of a pub! Please don't take too much stock as to the rubbish A.Evans has written! People don't wear 'designer suits' in this place. He's obviously one of the simpletons in here. He was even stupid enough to give his review a thumbs up! How dim is this bloke? I'm guessing he's a 'mate' of the sociable landlord.

I've been living in Porthcawl for nearly three months and regularly visit The POW. I can honestly say I've been made welcome and always have a good pint at a reasonable price. The landlord Gary is the best landlord I know. Yes, he has a pint with his customers it's called socialising where I come from. There is a good local crowd in there and yes, some wear tracksuits but possibly more expensive than my designer suits. As with any public house nowadays dogs can be taken in, but I've never seen any running round. Please don't be put off by the comments of Henry he's obviously accustomed to much better establishments where your ripped off and people sit there looking at the floor and don't wish to have a conversation. In my time in there I've been made more than welcome and will miss the proper rough chavs and a beer drinking landlord. When you walk into any pub you have an option either stay or go. If you make the decision to stay, then the ambience you talk about was there before you walked in so why stay. I'd suggest before writing derogatory comments if you have a comment make it know to the landlord. Anyway, I've now heard that Wetherspoons are charging for crayons so the previous reviewer will be able to sit with suit clad yuppies and certainly no dogs but will have to pay for his colouring books and crayons. By far the BEST PUB in the area Sunday Lunch cheaper than you can make at home. Try it and make your own assumptions rather than take notice of someone who has double standards. If you don't like what you see walk out but I'm sure you will and like many customer's make it their local when in Porthcawl.

Rough but good if you like that sort of thing.

Nice meal, good service and good beers.

Lovely pub n very friendly atmosphere.

Great place to spend a afternoon

Lovely staff and a fun crowd to get to know here. Could do with an Amber ale but the gold is nice here

Lovely Sunday Dinner well worth the Money.

Friendly pub restaurant.. Beeeerrrautyful Sunday dinner.. Very lovely friendly service

Really great woman behind the bar and friendly

Went in there only 2 people in but still had to wait for the bar lady to finish her chat it seems as soon as she knew we were English she ignored us then took great delight in informing me she didn't serve Guinness so we left

Lovely Sunday dinner, piping hot, fresh and plenty of everything. Popular so book in advance.

Sunday lunch was lovely, great service. Going back next week!

Like all the pubs around, friendly service and good atmosphere. Great selection of drinks as well. Well worth a pint or three.

First time for Sunday lunch here. Lovely food at very reasonable price. Would definately recommend.

Great friendly staff foow was very nice and we'll priced. Would recommend

This is one of the best pubs I've ever been to. All staff are very friendly and efficient. Sunday lunch is a treat with quality food and good portions. Open mic night in a Wednesday is entertaining and all are welcome. Well worth a visit.

Good food and good bar crowd/beer garden

Great pub, decent pint and excellent food.

A small but very cosy pub in a nice location. Came here while in Porthcawl for the day and decided to eat. The food was very good value for money and the wait wasn't long either. The drinks were reasonably priced and the staff were friendly. The toilets were a little dated but adequate for the size of the place. what more can you ask for apart from a good pint and great food? Also there is a pool table in the main area and fairly big beer garden.

Great atmosphere, great company and always a good pint.

Lovey food but a long wait for it and there was not many there but the food was fab

Place needs attention bad language from other customers

Food and service up to usual high standard

Great food in a really friendly pub. Good choice on the menu. Not expensive. Nice atmosphere with locals.

Very nice pub good food and frendly. Won't be the last time we will go there.

lovely little pub really good food but that's just a sideline beer 1st sun roast £6.95 very good to

Friendly staff child's play area everybody just having a good time

Rib eye steak was beautiful, pint was nice and cold too

I thought the atmosphere was good and that the staff were quick to serve customers, but the food and portions are pathetic. If you want to have a large Sunday dinner with great tasting food, then you're better off going elsewhere. The portions are miniscule and the veg is in a mashed up form. It's like serving food to a toddler. The staff were kind enough to bring us more veg...but the portion they gave us was more pathetic.

Great pub very friendly warm atmosphere

Very friendly bar with music Friday night's. Great atmosphere!

Good pub !! Friendly staff ! Well worth a visit

Stunning Sunday lunch in here. Even my mrs is happy and that's an achievement on its own. Friendly and helpful staff. Can't fault the pub.

Great staff. live music during summer months. Best homemade burgers ever! Lovely Sunday lunch .

Nice little place friendly staff somewhere you feel comfortable.

Great place, friendly staff and locals, great food and Sunday dinners are delicious and a fantastic pint every time

Friendliest, most down to earth pub in porthcawl. Solid locals, newcomers always made welcome, no idiots need apply - we've got plenty of our own ! ;)

Five star service to the bar staff, very, very busy weekend. We go there every year, and are always receive a great welcome. The music is great, its a nice break from listening to the King. I didnt have food, even though what come out of the kitchen looked and smelled lovely. Eating is cheating. As drinks are served in plastic glasses, through no fault to the staff, lager hates plastic glasses. Weekends like this, keep the pub trade going. So make the most of it. See you next year.

We visited here on during the Elvis weekend of 2015. After visiting earlier in the day we called back. I was then served with the worst flat tasting pint you can imagine. On telling the bar staff, one quoted 'What do you expect me to do about it', well, change the pint would help. But she refused point blank, claiming all pints were like this in Porthcawl on the weekend!!! All four bar staff were appalling and disgustingly rude! On asking could you please pass me another glass (plastic) to try, she stated we don't have any pint glasses available. Also, remarkably the price of the two drinks went up from £5.65 to £7.35 in 4 hours..............very coincidental. This has to be the worst ever customer service by a barmaid and especially one named 'Sophie'. So Sophie, congratulations on your stinking attitude, barmaid of the year....'NOT'.
