The Bridgend Inn in Pembrokeshire

Traditional, characterful pub owned and run by a decent man. Good local customers and selection of drinks. No food but if you want a welcome where you dont have to feel like a holidaymaker, this place is for you.

Lovely friendly pub with a good range of beers. The garden is beautiful, well worth a trip just to wander round it.

Building on their early success Paul and Sorrel go from strength to strength. No food (apart from bar snacks) but properly kept real ales mainly from the award winning Gwaun Brewery

Dropped in for a quick lunchtime pint with my wife and our wheelchair bound friend. The publican was so unwelcoming and rude it was hilarious. At least he gave us a good laugh.

a great pub for drinking.paul and sorrel make everybody welcome including dogs.good beer at good prices.locals all very friendly.we stay at the lovely campsite opposite and visit the pub when we can.nice beer garden aswell.

Visited on the 07.07.21 and stayed in the lovely little, basic camp site opposite. An idyllic tea time visit, good company with the locals in a super, garden setting. The garden was stunning and the landlady, Sorrell, even sells plants which she cultivates herself. Paul,the landlord, stayed open later for us to watch the football semi finals deviating from the advertised weekday closing of 8pm. There was local Gwaun valley beer and a good selection of other beers and spirits. No food available. Cash sales only.

New owners new ethos. Worth a trip just to see the transformed gardens. Lovely friendly welcome from locals and owners. Well kept local beers Well worth a visit, campsite over the road if you want to make a weekend of it!! Rhys

A great place to visit good selection of real ales,warm welcome for everyone. New owners doing a very good job in these difficult times.

Called in for a quick drink as we were staying nearby. Met Paul and Sorrel who are a lovely couple who became new landlords just before lockdown. They have worked hard and keep a super pint of Double Dragon and the Guinness was great. Ignore all previous reviews. The restaurant is closed, open early evenings each night till 8/Friday sometimes till 10pm Meg

Called in for a drink part way through a walk along the beautiful valley. Entered the bar only for the whole room to fall silent and everyone stare at us! Bar tender not at all friendly either. As my wife left, laden with drinks, to join us in the dismal beer garden (the weather, however, was beautifully hot and sunny) she was unable to close the door. Someone shouted ‘born in a barn’ and slammed it behind her. I’m sure there are plenty of more friendly places if you’re in a car rather than on foot so would recommend giving the Bridge End a miss.

A camra award winning pub and for very good reason. I pop into the Bont several times a week just for the well kept well presented beer. Building a reuputation for Sunday Lunch quite right too. I recommend a pint of Teift as an entree with Dark Heart as a main course with the guest beer for desert. Thats what a sunday Lunch should be....

We were staying nearby so thought we would support the local pub but wished we hadn’t bothered. The landlord was not at all friendly and not interested in recommending which beer my partner might like and when we asked if they were serving food he just said no, not even a sorry or an explanation why. A couple of the people at the bar were friendly but we felt we had intruded on a private gathering.We had our drinks and went and found another pub which thankfully was very welcoming.

Booked a table here very last minute for Sunday lunch and they were very accommodating and welcomed us straight away. Great traditional country pub, friendly staff and a really lovely home cooked roast dinner. Served with good choice of veg, gravy and choice of meats which were cooked beautifully. Will most definitely visit again. Very reasonably priced too.

Had a very tasty Sunday lunch here. An excellent variety and quantity of veg and the beef was beautifully cooked. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Fue un hermoso Domingo almuerzo! Hemos estado visitando y bajar durante años pero sólo este fin de semana tuvimos la oportunidad de hecho parada y disfrutar: me alegro tanto de haberlo hecho. La carne era tierna, las verduras abundante y muy bien cocinado: nos ofrecieron una mezcla de carnes. Todos probamos viendo un flujo de arroyo la ventana Imagen: pasado maravilloso! .Hay (local y bien conservado) cervezas y pude probar dos (mitades) antes de ser recordó que estaba conduciendo.Todo el mundo fue muy amable como siempre y hace que este pub una parada recomendable punto en sus viajes alrededor del Preselis, porque, francamente, no me puedo quejar.

sehr autentischer Pub, viele Biere stehen zur Verfügung von Pils aus Deutschland bis einheimische Ale´s aus kleinen Brauereien. Nur das Restaurant können wir nicht bewerten da wir vor veschlossen Türe gelaufen sind, auch der pub war zu, obwohl es laut Internet ( Tripadvisor ) geöffnet sei. An einem Samstag um 21:00 Uhr. Schade !Desweiter steht im Fenster das Creditkarten akzeptiert werden doch die Wahrheit ist, nur Bares ist Wahres. Ich denke nichtmehr Zeitgemäß.

Called en route to our holiday cottage for a drink. Lovely welcome by the locals sat in the bar, really friendly and chatty. Dogs accepted, good priced ale and a quaint garden out the back.

Cayó en el pub en la Oportunidad y haberlo hecho, mi amigo y yo había sido un sitio cerca de visitarles con vistas a detectar metal y estábamos en el camino de regreso a Milford y decidimos este pub estaba bien para una pinta. Parece ordenada desde el exterior y el interior es tan acogedor desde el momento en que entras. No podemos decir cómo la comida es buena, volveremos con nuestro mejor para que, mitades pero la cálida bienvenida de ambos lados de la barra hará un viaje más vale la pena. Ha habido un festival de la cerveza (29 de abril - 1 de mayo de 2017 calle 12) que sirven cervezas y sidras, aunque antiguo 4 Peculier es mi favorita, Oscuro Corazón, Manto Brewery, chaqueta, llegó el segundo.Vale la pena una visita, nos volveremos, esta vez con nuestras mujeres.

Very nice pub with bar and restaurant. Cosy restaurant with wood burner. The traditional Sunday lunch went down a treat with all. Will be returning. Only one downfall, no payment cards accepted.

I drove past this pub on the weekend and noticed a blackboard outside saying food served Friday and Saturday evenings and lunch on a Sunday, fair play so I gave it a go.The Bar was friendly and welcoming, it had a roaring log fire and an interesting menu.I tried the Trinchado, an Portuguese inspired African dish of beef marinated in chillies and wine, it was served in a bowl with sides of fresh bread and fries. When I placed my order the lady serving said the bread was for dunking, so I dunked the bread in the rich thick gravy, it was divine, half way through I tipped the bowl onto the plate and finished it off with the fries. The portion size was full and the beef plentiful, I have to say every mouthful was succulent and so tasty, I wished I had the capacity to have it again straight after. It was just under £12 and there were other options on the menu to suit all tastes and pockets. The beers were also good, as was the company. Thank you the Llanychaer community.

We visited this pub on a Friday and Saturday night as was staying nearby. We were really pleased to find a friendly local pub which was warm and cosy with seats around a log burner. The owners, staff and locals were all welcoming and we had some delicious home cooked and good value food here. We can recommend the curry and the specialist south African dish Trinchado. All in all everything we want a pub to be. Note that they presently don't take credit cards.

The bont has had a changeable history recently now another chapter. Tom back at the helm, stonking real ales the Dark Heart is worth a visit in it's own right.Now there is a chef, Sunday lunch was well worth the visit and people who went to the recent curry night were very impressed. This pub is on the up again, well worth a visit.With these chilly winter days, the log stove is worth booking your seat next to.

You can now enjoy Sunday lunch at The Bont at the Bridge Inn, they will be opening on other days soon.

Had beef dinner today, best bit of beef I have had in a pub or resturant for a very long time. Bit of a mix up as partner thought plate it up meant just putting it on a plate, we later discovered it meant on a plate to take out. So I can safly say, as a stay in meal one of the best, as a take out, plate is brimming . Both casses full of flavour .

I've eaten at the 'Bont' many times and always enjoyed it. Mark and Leslie are lovely people and really friendly. After a long walk there is nothing better than a nice pint in front of a warm fire followed by some good hearty food. My little dog is always made as welcome as we are.

have been to this excellent restaurant/inn, have had many excellent meals, very friendly staff, good atmosphere, varied menu and realistically priced - can recomend - try you will not be disapointed.

Well kept real ales, mostly local too. Regoular changes Solid reputation as a decent restauraunt -well worth a visit

We had a meal here last Friday - very enjoyable. Large portion size, reasonable prices. Everyone was very friendly - I would recommend it.

I recently stopped here for a meal with my 4 year old boy and found a very warm welcome. The food was really tasty and very reasonably priced with lots of choice. The restaurant had a lovely cosy feel to it and my son and I had a great time looking at all the different objects that decorated the room. Our favourite as the great collection of teapots. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definetly be going again.

Have returned once again to this lovely country restaurant with loads of character. Went with our family of 6, we always have a warm welcome, loads of gorgeous food and always asked if we want extras such as veg etc. Great value for money would deffinately recomend and will return.

We visited this inn on a rainy day with our dog in tow...initially we were going to eat in the restaurant, but then realised we could eat in the bar, and take the dog as well. We all opted for the Sunday roast, and were offered a choice of chicken, pork or beef, my husband son and I all chose differently.The food was delivered in a timely manner by friendly staff; vegetables were served separately and were plentiful! The meal was delicious and very tasty, and with soft drinks, the bill was around £30, good value. We felt welcomed in this country inn, even our dog was given a biscuit to enjoy. Highly recommended.

Having always read reviews, but never written any, I have been compelled to comment on the delicious Sunday lunch that I had today at the Bont. From the minute we walked in through the door we were treated with warmth and professionalism from every member of staff, with not a hint of disorganisation nor rudeness. The pub was clean, warm and reassuringly untouched by stylists or interior designers. I personally like the teapots above the bar as it represents the homely ethos that epitomises this place, and is one of the many elements that draws people back time and time again - it does not pretend to be a place that it is not. The food was great. Good home cooking with plenty of choice and a generous portion. The attentive staff even offered us more vegetables. The real ales on offer tempted us to stay longer, as they, like everything else in this place are genuine and unspoilt. What more could anyone want? I have returned to this place time and time again, and I will continue to do so. I have never had a bad meal here over the years, nor experienced anything that would drive me away. Long may this place continue!

For me the Bridgend Inn ticks all the boxes as a genuine country pub with an ever changing selection of well kept ales and honest home cooked foods. I've visited several times enjoying the banter around the bar which is evident as you walk through the door. Everybody you deal with is attentive and friendly, making you feel welcome and part of what's going on. The menu has a decent selection of reasonably priced meals with an additional home cooked specials board. My favourites are the rich and succulent home cooked pies, and I've never been disappointed with any meal I've eaten there.For me this honest country pub in its beautiful location is worth a visit, and as the winter approaches it is one I will be undoubtedly returning to for a good pint of beer and delicious food in front of the wood burning stove.

had a great meal and a fab welcome the place was dog friendly and we had 2 large dogs and this was no problem they were even given dog biscuits without even asking ......the choice of real ales was amazing and the meal was fantastic ....would certainly recommend this period oldy pub to anyone !!!!!!!!

When we were looking around for somewhere to host a pre-wedding meal for 30 relatives, the Bridgend Inn were eager to accommodate us, providing us with a menu etc, suggesting they were flexible. This was far from the truth! We tried to help the best we can by restricting the menu to a selection of 4 starters and 4 main choices off our own backs and provided the staff with a full break down of what everybody had ordered. As an organised person, I took the list with me to help the waitresses bring out the food to the right person. When we arrived, I informed the staff that 4 of our guests were delayed and asked them if it was possible to hold off on cooking these 4 meals until they arrived as I didn't want them to eat cold food. As a result of this, the rudeness begun. They told me that it was not possible to change orders now and the staff were clearly flustered and refusing to listen to my request. After far too long, they finally caught onto what I was after, and without an apology, this was granted to me.The food came out, and in fairness was of an average quality. At the end of the meal, people started to pay for their meals and this was when the real carnage begun. The barmaid was so disorganised and as most of the Welsh guests had paid and left, she started to complain loudly about how the tab wasnt settled etc. My guests who hadn't paid were still at the table eating! It was just as well they didn't understand English as this was rudeness at the highest level!I tried to sort out the situation and the barmaid refused to listen to reason. I went through the list, ticking off what everyone had ordered and compared this to her notes on who had paid, and who was still eating. After this, there was a dispute about a meal she thinks was unaccounted for. On her original list, she had ticked off that this had been paid! She then threw a tantrum instead of listening to reason and eventually, after much deliberation with the owner, and me making my guests get up from the table to pay for their meals while they were eating and we found that one of the numbered slips had been torn off and thrown away, probably the one containing the details of the missing meal!Everyone makes mistakes, but the rudeness was abhorrent. The staff did not want to solve the problem, but were eager to suggest we were trying to get out of paying a tenner after we provided them with over £400 business in one day! From the outset they were not friendly. I would seriously recommend that you consider going elsewhere...

Disorganised from the moment we arrived. Couldn't work out where to seat us, as they had a big party in which clearly absorbed all their time. Felt like we were uninvited guest at a wedding! Food was all cooked from frozen, which is not unusual, but one of our dishes was still frozen. Main courses were adequate - no better. Beer great, service was good up to the point of the frozen dish issue, when they spent the entire evening apologising. Offered a paltry £2 discount. I would have blown up, but we were with friends. Pudding was superb however !! With a bit of better management and an updated decor (teapot collection above the bar - really ??) it could be really good. Can't really recommend until they get their act together.

Pre-booked for Sunday lunch on Fathers Day as visiting the area with children and grandchildren for a family weekend away. Food was amazing and everyone very friendly and accommodating - happy to cope with larger groups and 'proper gravy' for the roast! Requests for extra veg. and gravy were no issue. Would definitely recommend

Popped in after visiting the Gwan Valley Brewery. Locally brewed ales and great selection on the lunch menu. There was a veggie option on the specials board and the staff also managed to russle up some other veggie options for us. Lovely garden, great staff. Recommended.

Called in after a walk in Gwaun Valley. Very friendly reception. The publican is very interested in local beers and keeps them very well. We had a Caffle Golden Ale which was perfect. We will definitely be going back. We didn't eat there but it is obviously very popular as you need to book by Thursday for Sunday lunch.

Called in for dinner whilst on holiday in the area. Excellent food and drinks.and the hosts were very friendly. Even the local cat popped in for a fuss.

Excellent Sunday lunch with a warm and friendly welcome. Highly recommended. Real value for money and already looking forward to our next visit.

The food here was amazing, real value for money. The homemade lasagne and coleslaw is to die for. The steak sandwiches are really yummy, fully packed ciabatta roll with sliced rump steak, mushrooms and onions. Definitely a hot spot for me.The bonus to coming here is my dog was allowed in the bar area Very friendly and accommodating staff.I have also sampled the Vintage Afternoon Tea which was lovely, especially the Bara Brith.

last night had our 2nd visit to this pub to eat==== food very good and lovely and hot can really recommend "spare ribs"good attentive service will be really going to use this charming old inn again

Mark and Lesley have only recently taken over the Bont and they are giving it their best shot. The place is busier than i have seen it for years. People are saying the food is first class, I can vouch for the quality and range of their real ales.This pub used to be the vibrant hub of the community, glad to see it heading in that direction again.

Wanted a place were we could have a family meal, this restaurant was recomended to us, the food was the best ever, plenty of food, very quick service and very reasonable in price, restaurant was spotlessly clean and staff very friendly, could not fault anything about it and will definately be back.

Decided to stop for a quick lunch at this really friendly pub. Had a bargain lunch consisting of a very tasty soup and cheese and onion sarnies and chips for 6 quid.Also had a latte, which is the best I have tasted around Dyfed!Very dog friendly too and the waitress/barmaid, asked if my doggy would like a big dog biscuit and some water...all without me even having to ask.I was very impressed with the service and warmth of all the staff here!Infact, I have booked a table for Sunday lunch as I have fallen in love with the place. A big plus is that they do allow dogs in!Atip is to book for sunday lunch as they do get very busy.

Visited on New Years Eve and were welcomed generously by owners. Enjoyed a nutty ale and delicious cider! Bar snacks were fine and the pub was cosy. Would deffenately recommend and will certainly be back. Good luck to you both!

We went for a family Sunday lunch and were very impressed. There was a warm welcome, friendly staff and the food was lovely, plentiful & excellent value for money. Will certainly be visiting again & can highly recommend!

Alun and Heather took over this pub this year and they have thrown their all into turning it round. I can't tell you about the eating as we havn't yet, they have put some thought into the menu which seems to offer something for most tastes They have added nicely to the bar furniture, making the place far more welcoming. This is a lovely village heart sort of pub that I am sure they will make work for them. Give it a go, you will be going to a quirky delightful place and supporting the heart of a village. They have just opened a campsite next to the pub too, could be a place to plan your weekend away around....R

We popped into the Bridgend for a quick drink on a Sunday afternoon post walk/packing for home as we were staying nearby. Great to be able to try local beers - the Rocketeer was delicious and staff were welcoming. A nice place if you want a slice of local life with a welcoming and friendly face. Brilliant that you can take your dog in there too.

We recently spent the weekend on a camping trip at Bridge Farm and we will definitely be returning. The staff and locals were very friendly and made us feel most welcome. We couldn't have wished for a better setting for our family trip. On Sunday afternoon, we were lucky enough to experience a mouth watering, delicious Sunday lunch at the Bridge End Inn. WOW - I have always been a fussy eater damn was this delicious. I have never experienced beef so finely cooked and the veg was unbelievable. I am sure when this place gets more reviews, my words will be confirmed by many more.The open log fire in both the restaurant and bar were burning beautifully, giving us a cosy atmosphere - exactly what one would want from a gorgeous country pub. There is a lovely garden at the rear with plenty of space for the kids to play and pets. I highly recommend this lovely country pub for its fine food and tasty local beers.We will definitely be returning next year. :-)

Visited this pub - it may be the Bridge End Inn - several times during our recent holiday. The staff and locals made us most welcome. The beer was excellent and served direct from the cask. The Bass was amongst the finest beers I've ever had. We only ate there once, and the three bean chilli was fantastic! This pub deserves the support of locals and visitors alike.

Booked a family Sunday lunch. Only 2 others there. Food was faultless but basic (and slightly more expensive than we had predicted - no menu, just the Sunday Roast with choice of 2 meats). Good quantity of food which arrived almost immediately after we had sat down. We were in and out in well under an hour. A couple of minor mistakes with the orders but staff were very polite and apologetic. Had the impression they were fairly new to the game. Nice log fire burning but the dining room still felt quite cold. The public bar in the other room looked to be more warm and cosy. Guest ales were locally brewed and very good. Would have stayed for a further drink if we weren't feeling so cold.

Well cooked food at a fairly reasonable price with local light ale from the barrel - which was excellent. Would have stayed for coffee if invited to linger a little longer - it was 8pm.

We visited the pub a few times whilst staying at the nearby Dovecote Cottage for our honeymoon.The welcome we received was excellent from the staff and customers alike. The owners bought the pub in late 2013 and they bring vitality to it.They serve a range of cask ales that are kept in excellent condition and are served direct from the cask tap. The Bass was as good as I've ever tasted. All of the beers and lagers were well kept.The food is hearty and well presented. The sunday lunch is a must - beautiful meat and perfectly cooked veg in an authentic country pub.We will definitely return here when next staying in the area.
