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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

My mum really enjoyed the chicken and pineapple. Not spicy, very tasty. I had the salt and chilli prawn which was absolutely lovely. Light batter, dry dish with onions... , not particularly spicy, right up my street. I also had the Singapore vermicelli... There was a nice mix of meat and prawn and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I like spice but this dish was overly spicy ..It's unnecessary to add so much chilli powder/spice. There needed to be bits of fresh chilli with peppers and onions. The noodles were coated in spice which wS unpleasant. The food arrived quickly, freshly cooked etc. I would order again but not the Singapore vermicelli- which is a shame because it's my favourite when done properly.
