The Bridgend brynmawr in Blaenau Gwent

Warm welcome. Tasty starters, stunning Sunday lunch and desserts were divine. Excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊

We had a take away Sunday roast today I’ve got to say that the portions was very generous loads of meat home made Yorkshire puddings very tasty would highly recommend

Nice place and staff. The pie here is great. Great selection for kids too

Thank god a decent chef in there thought I was back in the 80”s with the last one

Me and my wife had lunch here the other day the food was amazing and the staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough for us love this place

Great food and service as usual

We booked a table for 8 of us and were lucky to be squeezed in, we had travelled from Swindon to see our family that have only just moved to the area, this place could not be faulted, we will be back in the future for definite

Gone downhill, it was always full on a lunchtime but only us and 3 others there. So disappointed, chips not cooked properly, pale and greasy. Staff were pleasant.

Lovely Sunday lunch all food was cooked wonderfully 😋

Absolutely fabulous food and staff were excellent.

Food was great!!! Big portions and so well priced! Good beer and even better staff! Thanks for having us 🥰

Absolutely banging food out of this world the steak and ale pie is to die for and the mixed grill didn’t disappoint either staff went above and beyond defo be back for more for sure

A lovely local pub, clean and airy with nice decor. The choice of food is quite extensive with something to appeal to most tastes.I chose the gammon which was excellent, my wife had a broccoli & cream cheese bake which she really enjoyed. We both sampled desserts from the wide choice available and these proved to be first class. The staff were very friendly and pleasant and service was quicker than expected. Highly recommended and will return again soon.

Amazing service. Staff are really welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend for a quiet and relaxing meal. Food was excellent and cooked to order. Will be back again. Personal thanks to the staff for checking on medical conditions.

Food was absolutely amazing, better than all the restaurants I've been to so far and the first I've thought that deserves 5*. I had the 10oz steak which was better than my late father's which most definitely is saying something so please give my commendations to the cheff and cooks. I am extremely impressed (Below is the sticky toffee pudding) The staff are so kind and attentive it really made the experience worthwhile and made me feel as if I were a local who comes here often. The atmosphere was homely with an amazing familial sense. The staff all work amazing together and they really set the atmosphere for everything. To conclude, I am impressed and most definitely will be coming here again.

Went last year just after moving to the area we had myself Aberdeen Angus burger with chicken which was great first time around. My partner the pie and chips also great first time around. However this time omg what has happened to this place we had the side bread and olives as a starter, the part baked singular tiny roll had been microwaved not baked. We asked for another again white and microwaved, didn't fare well for the mains. The burger was now a cheap rubberised burger the chicken breast was in a soggy batter? No cheese or gherkin etc like before I couldn't eat it. The pie was in a weird watery couldn't eat can't call it gravy. Chips were greasy and brown. The bar woman when we asked for another drink said we'd have to wait I'm busy??? We really will not be returning. We now know why the place is empty compared to how it was end of last year.

First time eating there will definitely be my last five people not one of us could eat our food over cooked tasteless frozen rubbish 😑

Me and my sister were in the area as we had been to parents grave. Popped in for lunch and were able to have a table. I had chicken and bacon salad. Absolutely delicious. My sister had gammon with pineapple and egg with chips. Huge portion that she couldn't finish. Definitely will return

Brilliant place food really good

We visited this place on a Friday night for some food and drinks. We were very impressed with the variety on the menu. We had steaks they were cooked really well and the sides were great. They also had a good dessert selection too. A good local pub.

Lunch menu. Food was very good, lovely people working there. Lovely pint of Madri.

Lovely pub really friendly owners great food

Excellent place well worth a visit

Food very disappointing. Service very good. Very disappointed that we had to sit in the Pub area which was very noisy when we first arrived

We attended a Ghost and Seance Experience, with supper included. It was a very interesting, well run event, and the staff were very friendly

Booked a table here for a family lunch last weekend. Great roast, friendly service, couldn't fault it. Really enjoyed the mint stuffing with the lamb, huge portions of chicken for most of the table. Lovely roast veg - couldn't finish all the roast spuds!

The food was excellent, the people were friendly and the service was 100%

Myself and my family ate at The Bridgend Inn on Mother's Day and it was lovely. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and and were made to feel very welcome. The food was beautiful. From the mains to the desserts, everything was clearly fresh and home-made. I visit this pub often with friends and whether you're a fan of traditional favourites or looking to try something new, their extensive menu offers something for everyone. The staff are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Despite the high quality of both the food and service, the prices at The Bridgend Inn are incredibly reasonable. It's rare to find a restaurant that offers such lovely food at affordable prices, making it the perfect choice for any occasion, whether it's a special celebration like Mother's Day or a casual meal with friends. I'm already looking forward to my next visit (next Sunday when they are holding an event with a medium - the pub is allegedly haunted and I've seen videos that have convinced me!!). Thank you to the entire team at The Bridgend Inn for making our Mother's Day celebration special and also a big thanks to the owner, Carl, who is always friendly and welcoming!!!!

We had a lovely afternoon tea. Service and food were both first class.

Been going here for family meals for years - unfortunately the food at this time was nothing more that awful. To start with starters of garlic mushrooms were relatively watery and tasteless I ordered the spicy chicken burger which is suppose to come with bacon cheese Mayo and battered chicken. When my food come I had a dry grilled chicken breast and with some Mayo in a bun - I didn’t realise until I left that the burger was suppose to come with these (as we’d preordered weeks previously) - both people who had this burger had it come out like this , not breaded or without the bacon and the cheese One family member who ordered a beef burger asked specifically for no mushrooms and the burger came out full of them. Unfortunately only two person out of the large party enjoyed their food (they had the pie and other had the steak for reference) So sad to see this as we visit regular on birthdays and always massively enjoy the food, seems the kitchen needs overhauling. Service however was great and welcoming as always , a shame to be let down by the food.

Unfortunately if we're rating solely on the food, it can't be any more than a 1. The driest food I have ever eaten out. 3 of us at the table were unable to eat our food. Chicken burger was close to turning to dust if it was cooked any longer, also the menu said breaded but it came as a oven cooked dry ch chicken breast with no breading, no bacon like stated, so was basically a different dish to the one ordered. The staff were nice enough however.

Absolutely beautiful food! Would 100% recommend

Lost my ticket for my food,but was beautiful when it arrived,would have been a 5 star otherwise

Have eaten there for many years, unfortunately this time the food was awful gloopy dry chicken and inedible, had 3 mouthfuls and left it, it looked like something that had been in a baby's nappy.. when mentioning to the staff I was told I should of said something when asked (I had food in my mouth so was unable to reply) I was then told if I'd asked I could have had more sauce, which wouldn't have made the chicken any less dry, I was charged full price for a meal I couldn't eat... I reached out to the owners and was ignored, I wrote again 3 days later and I had a reply a day later, obviously saying they hadn't had complaints before and was sorry, they would give us 2 free meals to make up for it.... A full refund would have been more acceptable, as I will not be going back again

Beautiful food, very much enjoyed. Staff are brilliant and always checking if your happy or need anything. Definitely recommend and will be back

Very good service food excellent

Went for Sunday lunch today and I like to leave an honest review ...the staff are really friendly and welcoming..the service was excellent but the food was such a disappointment we expected better if I'm honest ...it was overpriced and overcooked _£15 for a Sunday lunch is ok if it's worth it the roast potatoes were overcooked or overheated more like ..the Yorkshire pudding were black ..the beef was way too tough and bland ...gravy was bisto gravy and way too watery the veg was ok but came in a very small dish half the size of a gravy boat for 2 people ..I had 1 small skinned potato but a lot of roasties that i paid extra for ...it's a shame cos its a lovely homely place and the staff are exceptionally good but they need a new cook ..so unexpected and disappointed 😔..

Best club sandwich 🥪 in long time Amazing home made chios Proper super tasty home made soup 🍲 😋 Super friendly staff & one he'll of a chef 👨‍🍳

Called In other off chance glad we did. Great service lovely food will definitely be going back

Amazing place beautiful Sunday lunch and the cauliflower cheese was to die for I highly recommend this beautiful pub will definitely be going back 😋

1st class Sunday Roasts! Efficient, friendly and professional staff. Food is excellent, well presented and hot (not luck warm like other establishments). A warm, clean and tidy little Inn. Well worth a visit and would highly recommend to others 😊.

Came in with my daughter and granddaughter Thur lunch time Lovely meals .My granddaughter loved her chicken nuggets our meals were amazing and large well worth the money. Definitely coming back thank you .

Staff very polite, friendly and helpful, no faults when it comes to hospitality. Food was not the best, lasagne ok, salad mediocre, fries poor. Circa £15 per head for main course. Ambience poor, 80s throwback type experience, also needs a decent sound system.

Well this was a nice time for me and my husband to have unwind time and have a xmas meal and it did not disappoint it was beautiful and plenty of it. The gentleman behind the bar was very friendly and made us feel welcomed then the young lady serving our meals was also very polite and so helpful . I mentioned to them both to let the chef know how beautiful our meals and Deserts were . I would definitely 100% recommend this place and the food is proper home cooked and so tasty the service was great and they were busy but never neglected anyone . If I was you I would book now to make sure you have a place in there honestly we loved it and its clean and cosy there & we totally enjoyed . Thank you Bridgend Inn and have a very Merry Christmas All X

Treated to a meal at the Bridgend. First time we've eaten here. Great food, generous portions, will be going back.

Beautiful food . lovely atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic, great service great food, fantastic atmosphere, good price to

Could not fault the food. The problem was presentation. We went for Sunday lunch the plate came out with two boiled potatoes Yorkshire pudding meat and small amount of gravy all dumped together. My partner did actually have a small roast potato as well. We had to ask for the veg which had not arrived five minutes after the plate as above. However the food was cooked well and tasty ashame about the presentation and service

Lovely friendly welcome, perfect pub grub.

It was an amazing place to have good food served quickly and tasted fresh, was very happy with the customer service and lovely family atmosphere, great place for celebrating occasions with friends and family. Would need to book as this place is usually very busy.

We had food delivered, three different curries, all cold, sent back. Came back, still cold, korma smothered in mint sauce. Overall food disgusting.

Beautiful home cooked food and plenty of it! I had steak and ale pie, full of meat and really flavoursome. Would definitely recommend a visit. Staff and friendly and professional. Meal served promptly.

My wife and i just had the steak and ale pie, it was absolutely outstanding, the nicest steak and ale pie we've ever had, very tasty and a very generous portion size. We will be back.

Food was not good roast potatoes cold Yorkshire's hadn't risen greasy in the middle peas were rock hard gravy was not thickened all in all very disappointing and would not visit again the takeaway was even worse

If you love your food this is the place to go...food with pride on its plate. Not short of manners in a busy invitomont. Definitely worth a visit ☺️

The food was amazing all quality home made food the skills of the chefs were clear, steaks cooked perfectly, mash seasoned and garnished corectly. They also cater for kids perfectly offering 2 different menus for small kids and larger kids. Truly a delight.

Came for a improtu meal with my dad, the staff were extremely welcoming with a great choice of drinks, the menu has something for everyone, I chose the lamb steak as suggested and it was cooked perfectly, it came with sauteed potatoes which were delicious, peas and veg (unfortunately the broccoli was over cooked) my father opted for the faggots and he thoroughly enjoyed them. All in all a nice pub for dining and clearly the owners and staff are making a real effort to sustain the local pub trade.

Again music too loud cannot listen in conversation. No crackling or apple sauce with pork. Disappointing. Again plate filled with Yorkshire pudding which is for Beef only Not enough vegetables

Starter and dessert was lovely but beef was tough

They obviously believe in quantity rather than quality chips tasted as iff they had been cooked yesterday the eggs were hard and the gammon was like leather my wife's hunters chicken was just as bad will not be going there again

Thank You lovely meal to celebrate sons 18th the specially ordered tomahawk steak fabulous

Lovely food only complaint would be the chips are frozen, not fresh ( very much like a Chinese takeaway) the place itself was cozy, staff were friendly & helpful

Fantastic little pub.. a country atmosphere on the outskirts of the town. A warm welcome, friendly staff and amazing food with huge portions, they were very good with our little boy and we will definitely be back.

Great food attentive staff highly recommend.

Brilliant meals very generous portions. excellent service lovely atmosphere 10. Out. Of 10.

Lovely food, great service. Well worth a visit and we'll certainly be going again!

Main meal delicious once sat down. Had to move from other tables extremely noisy and loud. Sat upstairs quieter, but music blaring in ear. Couldn't answer phone as to noisy Decor outdated artex walls very 80s Tablecloths needed badly on old tables Service however friendly

Very nice pub. Food was very nice. Good quality pub food. Portions are very generous therefore fairly priced. We ordered nachos for two as a starter which were more like nachos for four as the portion was very big for a starter. However very nice and tasty. Welsh sirloin was very good quality and cooked as requested. Delicious. The portion with chips was very generous as well. We also ordered the today's special which was minted lamb. The lamb was to die for and came with roasted potatoes, salad and boiled veg. Desserts was very rich as we ordered vanilla and strawberry cheesecake which was delicious and again at very generous size. Overall very nice place for a pub food at very good quality and reasonably priced. You will definitely not go home hungry;) additionaly the staff are very friendly and attentive. Very pleasant atmosphere. We will surely be coming back.

Have to say it was nice. Nice enough, nothing special. Big prices for trad pub grub, but still tasty. Wouldn't give it it 5*. I found it wierd that you had to go to the bar for drinks but you could put them on the bill anyway. Just nice.

Lovely friendly cozy atmosphere and staff really friendly. Food lovely too. Win win and will definately return

great food, service & good price

Fab, staff are lovely. Food was amazing 😋😍. Afters was yum yum 😋. Definitely go again. Love our meal today x

Excellent meal good quality service best around .will definitely be dining there again

Pub food. Lovely people Dated surrounds

Booked Sunday lunch for 12.30, only two people eating at the time. Not many customers while we were there but by the time we left more customers arrived. Good friendly service, small portions and limited vegetables. Paid extra for cauliflower cheese which was lovely. Ambience would have been better if there was more customers. Smaller meals are provided for senior citizens, some of whom were booked in while we were there, a positive initiative.

Only had a quick drink but pleasant experience

Good pint of Cider, staff pleasant

We were at restaurant today for Sunday lunch. It was absolutely delicious. The beef was cooked to perfection and Yorkies to die for😍. To top it off the amazing dessert of Lime and coconut cheesecake 😋. If you get the chance pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed

Very cold inside air conditioning making it uncomfortable for me and food went cold before we were half way through.the beer was good. Maybe we should have eaten outside but despite it being a sunny day there was a chill breeze blowing.

Great place !! Took service users there this afternoon all had different things and they where all really tasty and good value for money was surprised how cheap considering the quality is so good!! Best cabonara I've tasted in South Wales!! Thr staff are just as nice friendly and helpful ....Get your family's down there it won't disappoint 😊

Lovely lunch, perfect place for a catch up with friends. We were even able to enjoy a drink outside after our meal. The staff were all lovely and the food was great and value for money.

Great food ,Big portions and very friendly staff definatly go again .Try the cheesecake you won't be disappointed.

Great food and hospitality . Great service. Will return highly recommended. Give it a go. A group of1 11 youngest 2yrs and oldest 84 . No complaints off of anyone

Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Staff were very helpful. Can't fault anything. Even though it was for a large table (17 + kids) every meal was exactly as ordered.

Not out of this world but food was good and reasonable been back today 22-4-23 good welcome nice food worth a vist

Very busy but friendly, didn't eat but the meals looked lovely.

Lovely Sunday lunch, beef was tender as you like with plenty of veg, very filling, my family also ate various other meals on the menu and were also very satisfied with what they had. The host and staff were very accommodating, nice friendly atmosphere in the pub and overall a nice afternoon out.

Very welcoming, excellent service and food

Food was good had to wait a long time to be served, had to go down to the bar to get our drinks as no one came to ask for our drinks order. Food took a long time to arrive.

Stunning food, small but very warm, cosy and very friendly. Owners and staff will go out of their way to help.

Very friendly pub, friendly staff. A good variety of foods Inc gluten free. The meals were huge and very nice. I had veggie cottage pie. Must say it was a lovely meal and would definitely go again. Worth a visit.

A1 service as usual great food staff is also lovely! Highly recommended place for lovely food!
