The Angel in Bridgend

Had sunday lunch there today, very disappointed. Lamb was tough only one small new potato ,over cooked roast potatoes and the small portion veg was cold. Won't be going there again

The courtesy of the staff was extraordinary, the quality and variety of the food on offer was truly excellent, the place was very nice and the beers were good

Large portions of food, we sat with our dog at the closed bar in the dog friendly area, absolutely no atmosphere, and felt a bit grubby, sticky tables. Staff friendly enough, but very much self-service.

Great place and the food was delicious. We stumbled across this place after going to see some houses nearby. The place is lovely inside and the staff are so attentive. The food was delicious and on the early bird, it was three courses for £19.95. What a great price. Will be back 💪😁👍

Nice country pub, pleasant and helpful staff. Standard pub grub, but I had the biggest fish I've seen, freshly cooked, nice batter. Dogs allowed in the bar.

Lovely down to earth and out of the way pub with friendly staff and lovely food 😋

No steaks on the menu which I found bizarre so ordered a steak pie but had to have it with chips, sweet potatoe fries or jacket potatoe. No option for crushed, boiled or mashed potato which seems to go better with which is essentially a Sunday dinner type pie and vegetables. Anyway the pie was nice, meat was lovely and soft but the vegetables I had with it were undercooked and really dry like they had been under a heat light for hours. You could see how dry they were but they deemed them okay to serve. Such a shame as the food here used to be amazing.

Went for the Xmas quiz, friend booked a table wasn't told there would be no food served, orher than that great

Lovely place with lovely food and lovely people. Very nice to visit with the family

Excellent food and the staff are great

Always a good menu here enjoyed

We had the pleasure of having Sunday lunch at The Angel last week and everything about it is fantastic. We were party of 2 adults and a child. We all had Sunday lunch and deserts and it was delicious. The pub itself is beautiful and cosy. The staff are all friendly and theres plenty of them, so service is quick and tables are kept clean and tidy. The food was amazing, biggest portion sizes we have experienced so far, with a lovely home cooked vibe. Much better than nearby pubs offering the same. We truly enjoyed and will definitely return!

Lovely old pub , food and atmosphere 👌

Food was good, dad's birthday treat, marked down on service and atmosphere as there were a few mumbles of displeasure off staff due to my daughter in law not being able to attend with the baby due to illness, made me uncomfortable.

Just called in for a drink. What a lovely relaxing place. Staff were so welcoming and friendly

Lovely food, good size portions

We've always wanted to visit this pub and finally we did. So glad, well worth the wait.

It's been 1 year since I last visited here and I was disappointed this time compared to before. I preferred the food last year as the menu has changed. I think the food is overpriced for what you get

Just called in for a meal, about 2.30 in the afternoon, it was empty there , I'm always weary about quiet pubs as it makes you wonder why they're empty but put it down to the time of day Any way picked two meals off the 2 for £20 menu, sausage and mash and beef chilli Chilli was ok. Sausage and mash was 3 Iceland or Aldi frozen sausages and packet mash so not great Had two drinks Diet coke and a large glass of sauvignon A LARGE GLASS OF WINE £11.20 DAYLIGHT ROBBERY

Lovely place with great views. Good food. The waiter is an asset to the pub. He is always friendly and helpful. Great in the summer for sitting outside.

Great place to eat and chill the food is superb and plenty to enjoy we had the hunters chicken 5 star

Lovly food and good atmosphere

The food and service were great, unfortunatly and not thier fault at all, placed next to a table with young children that were loud. Only reason I have dropped atmoshere score, great food, great staff, and well worth a visit. I will visit again very soon.

Food was insane seating was instant but there is the option to book! I recommend the cheesy garlic bread and the bbq chicken 👌

Great Sunday lunch staff very good

Great food for kids lovely place to eat

Came in for Sunday roast, couldn’t fault it, really lovely.. booking for next week definitely! 😋

Not the nicest really greasy and tough everyone said it was nice so we thought we’d give it a go safe to say won’t be going again sirloin steak not even grilled and covered in grease The pint of lager was about the best thing we had

Nice pub to visit sit out side in the sun. Lovely pub decor inside. The toilets seat was loose. Staff very friendly Good accessible also.

Lovely pub.. Staff very Friendly... Will be going back

Loved it! Driven past lots of times and not been in, so this time we booked a room and stayed the night. Small but had all needed for an overnight stay. Sadly, the shower wasn't the best, but that wouldn't put us off staying again. The food was so good we went back the next day for lunch. If you drive past, don't be put off at how busy outside looks, ( which is what we've done in the past) they have plenty of room inside and a separate bar for us dog lovers, with a treat jar on the bar and snacks to buy for them too.

Had lunch my husband had egg gammon chips peas and batters onions gammon was so grease chips cold peas cold batter on onions was full of grease my husband orders the same for me because they did not have lamb that I ordered there asked if I could change mine the answer was no that was within 2mins food was disgusting will not go there again manager did not even bother to come and se us. Never ever go there .

Absolutely lovely meal, excellent service from friendly staff. Food arrived quickly and was lovely and hot.

Wonderful place, beautiful food, that's well presented, along with good beer, set in a fabulously historic setting.

Nice meal, massive portions, dog friendly, convenient parking. Don't live to far so will return again.

Pub was nice and the staff were very friendly and good, but the food wasn't very good. The burgers were cheap quality and the cow pie was just a few bits of meat in a gravy, veg was bland and soft. It looked great, but the quality just wasn't there. Shame

Great place to stop in for a drink and something to eat after a walk through Kenfig pools.

So, living just around the corner from this beautiful Inn and not having visited since it was taken over by hew Management, I was quite dubious about booking here for our 'girls' catch up! We only manage to arrange two or maybe three times a year so always go somewhere in Porthcawl, where the majority of us live. From my initial contact, via email, nothing was too much for the wonderful staff of The Angel. So accommodating and friendly - when we arrived we were greeted by 2 really smiley young ladies and taken to our table. One of our party had to cancel last minute but this wasn't an issue at all. Initially 2 of us were there waiting for 2 more, and our Server, Ruby, was attentive to our needs (which are quite specific when it comes to ordering our drinks - and that's just to start). So she had great knowledge when we asked about which lager was on draft, especially describing and comparing one type we hadn't heard of before and getting it spot on! Then the Wine List and to say we were faffing about which to order would be an understatement) but Ruby asked us a few specific questions about what type of wine we like and brought us a stunning bottle of red. We were really impressed with the quality, it was delicious and we were surprised to find out it was The House Red! Our other 2 friends arrived and because we hadn't seen each other for over 6 months we had so much to catch up on and all the staff were brilliant when they came to take our orders and we hadn't even looked at the menu! Giving us more time. Anyway, the food was delicious, the lamb with minted gravy was the best I've ever tasted and the staff were so great with each of our specific requests (getting a lush Yorkshire pud and stuffing with the lamb and a yorkie with all the dinners even though none were beef). The dessets were amazing and yet again the kitchen catered to all of our individual whims! A massive thank you to Ruby and all the staff who looked after us - we will be back for our next 'girls' lunch (sorry lol!!!!)

Lovely food. Friendly staff! Will return again 😊

Birthday meal 9 attended 3 birthday food was fabulous

Food tonight was delicious and plenty of it to,the service was quick and helpful. Thank you to Josh and the rest of the staff. Would recommend a visit 👌

Rang to book a table on a Saturday evening for 4 people about 3 weeks ago only to be told that the kitchen closes at 8pm ! Pity , because on previous visits we've had enjoyable meals here. Had to book elsewhere. Why close the kitchen so early during peak trading periods?

Lovely food, excellent service, welcoming friendly staff. One of my favourite places to eat.

Great place to Dine after visiting the nature reserve with the dogs . There's always a great pint of beer 🍺 and pub grub available.

First visit here for more than 20 years and was not let down. Will use the establishment again when next in the area

Although it was quite empty as it was late afternoon on a weekday we were made very welcome and the service was excellent. We ordered from the lower priced menu priced at £15 for two main course meals. We weren’t expecting anything special but were pleasantly surprised. The food was good and freshly prepared. Very friendly service from Chloe ( apologies if I got that wrong).

Dog friendly in the bar. Staff great, thanks to Chloe for looking after us. Food excellent.

Super pub and lovely staff. Fully recommend a visit.

Great food and great staff. Although the current Covid19 menu provides less choice than before.

Lovely lamb wellingtons . Service very good. Rocking roudolph beer on draft.

Disappointed with my recent experience at The Angel pub in Mawdlam. Booked a table for 12 people weeks in advance, only to find out tonight when I rang to confirm food choices, that if one person ordered from the Christmas menu, everyone else on the table had to also...even though the standard menu was also being served that night. Apparently, we could order differently if we sat at separate tables.🤔🤔 Talk about lack of business acumen! 😩Such a shame as we were really looking forward to our family get-together. Hoping this feedback reaches the owners and they reconsider their policies. #CustomerMatter #CustomerService #RestaurantExperience

Always have a good Sunday lunch.

5 stars isn't enough, brilliant warm welcome, friendly staff all round, food was excellent and plenty of it. Made a good day great, many thanks.

Called in early afternoon, nice pint and a clean feeling to the place.

Good food, slightly on the expensive side, but pleasant staff and much better since the new owners have taken over.

Excellent food and service top class, recommend it too everyone.

A decent pub with nice staff and food.

Really lovely staff with very good service. The food is very good. Reasonable price.

Nice place easy parking great staff. Food spot on and a good amount. Nice area to sit outside.

Sunday lunch was great, food terrific. Only blip was after our second course, no-one came to clear our plates and ask if we required anything further. But we did enjoy and will go again

Dropped in on the off chance! Got a table for 2! Lovely staff, quick service. The food was delicious...plenty of it! Highly recommended.

This is a pleasant pub with a good choice of drinks and good food.

Fantastic food but massive portions - be warned! 😃 Very friendly staff, we dined in the smaller bar as we had a dog with us. Very quiet and needed some atmosphere, maybe some music?

Food was lovely as always , service was good but seemed a bit off compared with previous trips, we were sat outside and there was no telling us where to find cutlery or the extra bits that had been lovely last time xx

Angel was excellent food my friend and I had child scampi and chips..spotless clean and good staff would recommend.

Excellent meal and service throughout. Diffo be eating there again.

Fantastic food (chips are incredible). Friendly and helpful staff.

Very cosy little place. Food is above average and very well presented but not necessarily worth travelling to if you're wanting to go somewhere specifically for a good meal. Atmosphere is very calm and chill and the staff are friendly and attentive. An excellent place to meet up for a catch up with friends. Outdoor eating area is well presented and clean.

Brilliant place to go for food and drinks

Lovely family meal and excellent service

Fantastic home made food, beer garden and a good selection of ales

Great food and service, good prices. The chef is a star!

Lovely staff, food great and well priced. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful to sit outside in a hot sunny day

Very disappointed as before COVID it was excellent.But first time back since and very disappointed with all aspects of the place.

Lovely pub, with some lovely food and a amazing view and place to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine, great for a stop after a long day walking around the dunes. We ordered a burger and chips and it was delicious and very filling.

Possibly the worst £35 I've ever spent on food. Had a selection of starters for a platter. Pate was a horrible mush with accompanying bread hard as stone, belly pork under cooked and was like chewing gum, lamb skewers bland but not hated, tart was a microwave delight... Not once did the staff ask if food was ok, or even clear our plates in 30 minutes after eating. Overall, shambles.

Unfortunately change of menu, not for the better, also change to choice of beer, again not for the better. Price's have also increased, not sure we'll be going here as often as we used to.

Best pub curry I have had in a long time

Just had a Sunday lunch, would have done the three course's but the first two course's were more than enough, our new place to go to, friendly, professional staff, and nothing to much trouble for them, we would more than highly recommend, best wishes be groovy cheers Kerry

Loved our visit, good food and drink and in a lovely setting

Excellent Sunday lunch and great staff.

My father really enjoyed his prawn starter and sausages main. The staff were very attentive to his accessibility needs too. The building is good for access with parking near and no steps into the premises. However, there is a very big step up in to the dining area. There is an accessible ramp but its quite a squeeze past the other customers. The new decoration is lovely and it's perfect for a nice lunch as a treat. I would like to see an alcohol free stout available (they only had lager).

Great service but quality of food was disappointing.

No very nice stuff meal cold and the gravy like jelly

Just a consistently high standard of lovely food. We're looking to move to the area and The Angel will certainly be a regular destination for us

Good service, minor complaint promptly and efficiently dealt and bill adjusted without fuss. Good value for money. Splendid landscape views from windows and car park.

Dropped in on the off chance because the Prince of Wales, down the road, said they were full. Are we glad that happened!!! Have been going to this pub, now and again, since the late 1980's, and, what we found, was a huge upgrade in what we have experienced before. New refurbishment, we had superb food and good staff. It's not the cheapest pub food you'll see - but it was far superior to anything we've had locally. So it was worth it. Everything on my Gourmet Burger plate was high end restaurant quality. Highly recommended.

After hiking all day this is just what we needed. The food was delicious!

Hubby and I had 2 fantastic meals here this evening. Thoroughly recommend rib eye steak myself. Hubby had cow pie absolutely stunning. Quick service too despite being very busy. Will defo be back.

Cheep spread used for garlic bread and no garlic but lasagne was lush

Awesome staff. Lovely pint & meal .dog friendly ta

Excellent food and dog friendly

Lovely food and good accommodation

Excellent Sunday lunch, good value and very tasty

What a lovely Sunday lunch. Lovely ambience, fab food, great staff snd a very nice Rose wine what more could you want. Price was good too.

Lovely pub, loads of parking, good service, fabulous food, & nice real ale to wash it down 🤩

Food was nice but all the vegetables were undercooked. Staff where friendly did not have to wait long for food

We had trouble booking as we couldn’t get through on the phone, but having taken the decision to wing it, we’re glad we did. The staff member (unfortunately I didn’t get his name) ensured we were seated and got our food order in before a large group, so there was no major wait at all, and the food which came out was great - large portions, great taste, and we left feeling very satisfied. Couple this with the historic building and the scenic location (well, if you look in the direction of Kenfig Dunes/the church and not the M4, this is well worth a visit.

Had lunch there today. Food was excellent, as always, as was the service. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and made us feel welcome. Lovely pub in a lovely setting
