I popped in for a little Saturday night drink. Received fantastic service from all of the staff.... from the moment we came in the door to Sarah’s friendly welcome, Rhys’s smiley welcoming pint, and Jess who delivered the drinks with a lovely warm smile and endearing character. Would recommend this pub every day of the week! I felt safe and welcome.

Took our son upto the seagull for a birthday meal (can’t do much at the moment) all felt very safe with one way system and track and trace in place but best bit is the chef and menu has changed slightly - have to say the food was amazing! Have eaten in the seagull quite a few times but this visit was by far the best xxx

Booked for Sunday lunch. Table was unclean and we had to request it to be cleaned. We Waited just under an hour for starters which arrived lukewarm. The steak was overcooked and missing onion rings. The Sunday lunch was missing the peas and the gravy was like water! Although staff were happy to make another steak they only suggested that the Sunday roast be placed under heaters whilst waiting for the steak to be done. Only positive, was a full refund given.

Came with our family on Wednesday and couldn't believe our luck, first visit and won't be our last!!Kids eat for £1 and wine Wednesday 2 glasses for £5. The food was good, quick and friendly service but one of the best bits were the board games in the bar. Kept both adults and kids entertained.Would definitely recommend

We went on a weekday so hardly anyone there at lunch time. Lovely people run the place and hubby had a very nice sausage and mash but my mac and cheese was so salty as to be nearly inedible.I imagine there would be a great community feel in the evenings so I can't really judge with any accuracy. Old fashioned but not in the "Olde English Traditional" way. A bit run down but it isn't in a touristy spot so more a 'locals' pub.

The Seagull has a menu which covers most standard pub food - grills, scampi, sausage and mash, chicken. There was a friendly atmosphere, and the locals in the bar area were hotly contesting a game of pool.The food was well cooked and served promptly. Order and pay at the bar, menus are on the tables. It is possible to book a table. There's a big car park round the back.This is a good place to come if you want a good quality pub meal with no frills or fancy dishes to worry about.

Came here and told there was a half hour wait on food, food wait was actually an hour and then for food to come out, most dishes were cold and unappetising, we never leave bad reviews but on this occasion it wasn’t the best. Only one team member also seemed to be rushing around and doing work and one other seemed half bothered and not really wanting to help.

We didn't even know this place was there, we visited because we won a meal for two in a charity auction, nut we will be back. While it's part of the Brain's chain and therefore what's on offer is much the same as many it was the service that took this place up a level. On the whole we thought the meals were good value and very tasty, the service is what makes this place special.

We always go here for food but after yesterday I’m not too sure,I ordered chicken madras took him 10mins after too say they didn’t have any,husband always has a mixed grill there was no black pudding when I asked he said they had none,one sausage which was black burnt&was; like a brick,enough chips for a child&meat; that was only just good enough for my dog,I complained too the young boy behind the counter&i; even asked was sarah there as I think she would have offered our money back or some kind of apology,I had sweet potato chips which were very cold and my chicken was dry as a bone,there was only about 6ppl in the restaurant but we had too wait 45mins for our meal,when we was given our meals nobody come and asked were they okay as at that point he could have being told and maybe a refund would have being offered! Our dirty plates were left on our table&he; never asked us was we having a pudding like we are normally asked! Absolutely disheartened as this is our favourite place in Porthcawl for food and a nice beer my father-in-law says! Seen a young girl come out of the kitchen if she was the cook then she needs some training as 4meals 45minutes is just unacceptable and the food was cold and not enjoyable.

When you eat in a chain pub these days you unfortunately expect to have a microwaved meal however you should expect to get food that is at least edible. The food my whole table received was shocking , feels like the chef has given up and could not even be bother to send out what must be a fool proof menu. Will go else where next time .

Let me please start this off by saying that this review is not left light heartedly. However based on the fact that we had been to eat here four times in the last week this was my reaction.i will start off by saying that I have no issue with the food here whatosever as it is really good food.Me and my wife always eat in places like this as it quick and easy to get to and there no hassle after a long day at work.We ordered the southern fried chicken BBQ melt in a bloomer as it was really nice and our usual to pints of diet pepsi. I will start off by saying that the size of the bar they have needs two people on serving at all times not one and this was my first little niggle as i was waiting to order while the guy was serving two members of staff there and at a snails pace.Usually we get our cutlery at our table rather quickly but not today. When our meals arrived it was brought to us by i think the manager and she was not very welcoming and she put our food down and went back for our side order. When she returned she plopped it down on the table without a thank you or enjoy and proceeded to walk away and not ask us if we wanted anything else or sauces. My wife then asked her what we usually ask the waitress when we receive our meal and we were replied with "do you have a tab as it is 50p each for sauces" no please dont mistake me here as i dont begrudge paying for sauces if thats what happens but we had eaten there on three previous occasions in the last week and on all occasions we asked for sour cream and was brought our request NO CHARGE! When we contested the charge and stated that we have always gotten sour cream for free on EVERY other occasion we have eaten there we were told then you must have been very lucky. I thought to myself is this person for real. she proceeded to repeat herself and ask if we still wanted it and did we have a tab. Then to top it off we overheard her saying to her barstaff in a rude manner that they were lucky if they were going to get it for free.This person needs some training in customer service as i feel she has none. Lastly we heard her chef making a huge racket in the kitchen and shouting like a mad man - not the kind of behaviour you expect from a restaurant.So sadly we will not be returning to this Brains pub - i hope the £1 was worth it as we regularly eat in you chain - (We will be returning to the two brewers - same pub range and menu and MUCH BETTER service).One last thing - if you are going to charge for sauces please be consistent and stop your own staff from waltzing into the kitchen and serving herself masses of the stuff when she is OFF duty (something i think breaches health and safety).Apologies for all the team that have been lovely to us the last 3 occasions but unless brains appoints a new manager that can be polite to customers that are paying her salary we will not be returning.

Enjoyed a very good meal after very long wait. Booked a table and arrived early, only to find that a large party, who has booked a table for a later time had arrived early and were getting served first. This caused delays to ourselves and other diners, over an hour wait for the meal. Orders should be processed in the same order as the table bookings, not allowing queue jumping in this manner.

We visited this pub as a family on a quiet afternoon for a pub lunch after the Christmas Holiday period. My daughter bought drinks and was told by the barman that there was a 30 minute wait for food. I then went to order 5 minutes later , when the same member of staff refused to take my food order, stating the chef was too busy! Even the regulars could not believe what he was saying! This leaves the reputation of the pub and Brains on the floor for me. It is with regret I have to post this review, as we have been treated well and with good food in the past.

Went to the Seagull for a 2 for 1 meal and I have to say it's great value.They don't offer a huge choice on Mondays ..fish & chips, hunters chicken or Caesar salad but I opted for fish & chips and partner had the chicken and the 2 meals were £8! Fish and chips was really good. Large piece of white fish with nicely cooked batter and side order of chips and mushy peas.If you are expecting restaurant style food then this is not the place for you but if you want pub grub at great price then give it a try.Only downside is the lack of a decent pint of ale although that doesn't worry me as I usually enjoy a glass of wine.

Great for a good value tasty meal day time or early evening.Can get a little busy at peak times but great choice on the menu and friendly efficient staff on hand to take your order. 2 meals for a tenner represents great value and to date we've tried most things on the menu including some real good steaks. Only gripe would be lack of a decent real ale but they do sometimes have a guest beer but to be fair it's not the kind of pub you go to for the ale; well worth a visit or two.

My wife and I popped to the Seagull hoping for a Sunday lunch. Admittedly we arrived just after 4 but the website did say they served from 12 - 8 on Sundays. Anyway, we were told we were too late for a Sunday roast. It must have been only just too late as plates of it were still coming out of the kitchen and it looked very good. We had to settle for the bar menu and I was not that impressed with my steak and ale pie, served with what were clearly frozen chips. Anyway, the staff were friendly, the place clean though the décor very dated. I had not been in there for years. I will go back to try the Sunday roast one day and make sure I arrive early enough.

Took my grandchildren and their parents out for a birthday lunch. Nothing was too much trouble and, despite the fact the children were all under seven years, we were all treated with the same polite and professional attitude. It was a very relaxing experience and one that we will repeat.

This place has been around for as long as I can remember, since Brains have taken it over though its a massive improvement. A well overdue new decor, menu and good range of on tap drinks have improved the place no end. The staff are all pretty friendly and tbh I don't have a bad word to say about the place. I almost always go with my girlfriend but there are always plenty of families there and with the atmosphere its fine for that.My fave pub in Porthcawl

We visited here on two consecutive sundays. We didn't have the Sunday roast but our three meals and desert were delicious on both occasions.Ample portions and very good value for money.If you complete an on line survey you have a free desert next time you visit .

Popped in on off chance for lunch. Friendly staff, clean surroundings, wholesome hot food. Two meals for £10, ideal lunchtime meal.

Came here whilst on holiday for a few days as it does 2 for £10 and there were 8 of us dining. On arriving there were plenty of parking spaces and seating and didn't have to book. Clean and well lit too. After getting a table big enough for us we ordered food and drink at the bar and staff were friendly but when we tasted the drinks it was obvious they were flat. This took around 15 minutes for someone to come over and explain there was a fault with the pump so we would have to pay extra for the same drinks in a bottle or just have our money back. This is the point I found we should have had a bit more hospitality as we were only wanting to change 3 drinks but we still got charged extra so ended up costing us £7+ for 3 bottles of coke. Some of the food was nice but the mash tasted like it was from a packet and the burger was cremated. We did not want to wait around to complain further so we left. Had higher expectations and if we hadn't had the deal we would have been even more disappointed.

My wife and I decided to have a meal at The Seagull Inn, Nottage,Porthcawl, we normally go to the Royal Oak on South Road but decided we would have a change, what a mistake! Staff seemed to be friendly when we arrived, we ordered drinks then browsed the menu. My wife ordered the Cod with new potatoes and I ordered Beef Madras half and Half,rice and chips,expecting to pay £14.90 but was charged £16.20,when I queried the price the bar staff said they charge extra for half and half! The meals arrived very quickly as if they had been cooked earlier in the day and reheated in the microwave oven,I had ordered nan bread with my meal,I went to pick it up to eat it but it was too hard to chew. My wifes new potatoes were shrivelled as if they too had been reheated in the micro. We ate the rest of the meal and complained about the quality of the food, they were not interested. We will not visit this pub ever again! Back to the Royal Oak next week.
