Me and my sister in law booked a table after the Margam park Halloween event. We were welcomed and seated immediately. The place was full and the atmosphere was fantastic. Jaime, Morgan and Emma looked after us perfectly, although all staff were happy and smiling. The food was perfect, adapted to suit us when we asked without question. The Malbec is pricy but worth it :) thank you Rose & Crown, we'll be back!

So happy we visited this pub as we live up the road. Food is fantastic and the 2 or 3 course deals from Monday to Friday are great. Restaurant was busy so we sat in the pub part. Lovely atmosphere and staff lovely to deal with. Will definitely return.

I have taken a room at the Rose & Crown once or twice a year for the last 20 years and always found the staff pleasant and friendly. In September I left a brand new jumper behind in a wardrobe but did not miss it for a couple of weeks. When contacted, the staff could not have been more helpful and managed to send it on to me at no insignificant cost, but would not accept my offer to reimburse. Typical of their helpful and refreshing attitudes.

We're staying at Trecco Bay holiday park and found The Rose and Crown by looking through loads of comments on the Trecco Bay site - it was worth the time searching for it as it was AMAZING! When we arrived the pub was busy but not overcrowded and there was a really friendly atmosphere to the place. It's an old building separated into the bar areas and the restaurant areas and people were sitting and eating in both. We sat in the restaurant after a 5 minute wait and it was very chilled out in there with a lovely ambience. We ordered drinks and they arrived quickly while we looked at the extensive menu. There were loads of options and it was difficult to choose what to order. When we ordered the food, it took about 20 minutes to come out and was piping hot and clearly freshly cooked. It was all delicious! The pork belly burger was great and the pie looked amazing. The kids enjoyed their meals too. The serving staff were brilliant and nothing was too much for them. We all managed to find space for pudding and were glad that we did. The lemon tort was delicious and the Melting chocolate dome puddings were devoured by both my wife and daughter. While we're in the area, I'm sure we'll visit again as it was more than a meal, it was a lovely evening out! Thank you everyone at the Rose and Crown for such a lovely evening.

I’m a regular visitor to the Rose as it’s on my doorstep. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff are always friendly and attentive and serve with a smile! The menu offers a great selection of pub classics and more unique dishes, all at reasonable prices, especially with the 30% off deal. I particularly enjoyed the fish and chips which was a very generous portion and the quality of the food was excellent. The pub also has a fantastic selection which complemented the meal perfectly. Whether you’re stopping for a relaxed leisurely meal or a quick bite to eat, it’s a great spot for delicious food, a relaxed vibe, and excellent service. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I visited this pub three years ago whilst it was still a Brains pub(now technically owned by Marston's, but the beers are still Brains beers. Their usual range of SA(off tap on my visit), Rev James & Bitter are usually available, alongside Marston's usual brands. So I decided to return to try their roast. I ordered the Trio of Roasts. You don't receive much meat, but it was very tasty and well cooked. The cauliflower cheese is not included but is well worth ordering as a side. The roast potatoes are freshly cooked, but they could be a little crispier. Really enjoyed my meal, one of the best roasts in Porthcawl. The service was excellent, but it can be a very busy pub especially on a Sunday. It was very full on my visit. My top tip then is to book as early as possible, but you do get a 90 minute slot. Also ordered the melting chocolate dome for dessert and the miso caramel sauce is delicious. The pub(which is two former cottages merged together) operates in two halves, a table service restaurant, and a large snug bar, a small beer garden where you go up to the bar to order , although food is served throughout the premises. Overall service was amazing and I will be returning.

We were staying in Porthcawl for a long weekend and were recommended the Rose and Crown by our Airbnb hosts and it didn't disappoint! We booked a table for 5pm and wrote on the booking that we would be bringing a dog. One of the hostesses phoned to let us know we could only sit in the bar with the dog and if we still wanted to keep the restaurant booking if we decided not to bring the dog, so we chose to keep the restaurant booking. Very warm welcome on arrival and after being seated, we asked to move table which was accommodated willingly. Unfortunately they had sold out of roasts but we both ordered the camembert to start and the pies (steak and ale and a chicken and mushroom) for mains. The meal was 10/10! Delicious food, plenty of it and even received a Yorkshire pudding as we couldn't have the roast. Very attentive and friendly staff throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend!!

Based in the village of Nottage is this wonderful little Gem., and has become my favourite place to eat and relax. This is my 3rd visit in as many weeks. There is a small parking area to the front of the premises. It also has a lovely seating area placed at the front of the establishment, cross over a small lane/road (which can be busy) to a walled green which I believe is very popular in the warmer months. The bar is dog friendly and welcoming to their escorted Hoomans 😉 I/we were greeted by a lovely young lady called Emma who showed us to our seats, and gave us menus (she supplied my elderly friend with a pair of glasses to read the menu when she realised she'd forgotten hers) - (A selection left by past/other guests to the establishment) The restaurant is very atmospheric and oldy-worldly. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is competitively priced, well presented and delicious. I will definitely be visiting again ☺️

We came here for a bit of food and a drink. We were just expecting a typical bit of pub grub, nothing special. BUT OMG.. we ordered the signature burger and buttermilk chicken burger and the flavours were incredible. We also had the sticky chicken starter which blew us away! The taste of the blue cheese mayo was out of this world. So far, my favourite place to swing by for a spontaneous meal in the whole of Bridgend/Cardiff.

Used to visit regularly and have done for years, the food is now very average and the portion sizes are ridiculous especially the amount of chips you get I’ve never seen anything like it. The chicken in the curry was also cold and both meals just had no taste. They charge a fortune and it’s just not worth the money. Won’t be returning anymore.

I ate here on the 30th July and I have to say I was disappointed. The food was not cheap and higher than other chain restaurants I thought, which is Ok but the quality did not reflect the price. I had steak pie and chips, the pie was Ok but no lumps of steak and more mince and not that nice really, the chips were good, the caramelised carrot was nice, the peas OK but the green beans were under cooked and the mange tout, they should have been in the bin (but I don’t like them anyway). I found the service slow; we waited ages to be served and for the food to arrive. It wasn’t that busy in there, a few in but at least half empty inside I would say and certainly tables empty near us, I think there were some outside eating too. The salted caramel sundae dessert thought was gorgeous and a very nice salted caramel ice cream, not over sweat.
