The Kings Head in Bridgend

This is one of the few places we have found that is great. I cant think of one time we have been there and not had a warm welcome. If you are looking for a good food with great portions you need to try this place. Even if it is your first time in the staff welcome, can't wait for the place to reopen.

I have eaten here at least a dozen times and have always found the food very nice. This week was no exception when I had the barbecue chicken melt from the 2 meals for £8.49 menu. I have visited here for a full breakfast, a sandwich and chips for lunch and fish and chips for tea. On the weekend there is a great atmosphere in the pub especially if there is a band playing. Throughout the week there are also themed nights. Last year I attended this venue for two parties. The staff are always friendly and accommodating.

This is one of the few places I have found that is a great place to start the night off or finish the night off. I cant think of one time I have ever gone that I haven't had a good time.If you are looking for a good food with great portions you have to try the burgers. Even if it is your first time in the staff welcome you as a long time patron .

Had a good night here last night for our work Christmas party. Food was good and so was the service. I would definitely pop in for food and drinks in the future.

Amazing steak hats off to the chef worth every penny staff very friendly Anna well done very impressed

We were visiting the area , as it was my fathers birthday we decided to take him out for a meal to the kings head .The meal was excellent , it tasted great , all food came out together , the presentation was beautiful. The staff were brilliant , made us feel very welcome , the landlord made us feel really comfortable coming over to us to chat . The pub was nice and clean .I would recommend the pub to anyone I know who is visiting the area and when we next go we will certainly be going to the pub to eat again.

An amazing choice of draught and bottled beers, great food and very friendly and knowledgable staff. I cannot wait for my next visit

First visit in a long time, my friend and i popped in for lunch. The food was amazing, great value, lovely atmosphere, great service.

King's head is a great little pub in Bridgend, its part of a chain but has the feel of an owed establishment The staff are great and very friendly. The meals are tasty with good proportions and nicely presented. It's a great little pub.

First time visiting and we both liked the look of the menu outside, pub was very dark inside. My partner ordered the chicken tikka which was okay, just tasted like a normal microwave meal. I ordered a large cod and chips but either they forgot to bring out the bread,butter, curry sauce and battered sausage or they just gave me a normal. I asked the man behind the bar twice for a large cod and chips and I paid £8.99 so I don’t know if they charged me for it or not. I did pay an extra 50p for spiral fries but they weren’t great. Everything just tasted very plain which was disappointing and wish we had gone somewhere else instead. Service was good and friendly though

After finishing shopping we decided to eat here, we both had the cauliflower dhansk curry, the food was fantastic and the staff were friendly, we will definitely eat here again as it is hard to find nice vegetarian food, well done, on our meals I would highly recommend this place.

We went for food here visiting for the first time and the staff were sooo helpful, with a 1 year old and a 2 year old they were great making them laugh, asking if we wanted more serviettes even down to asking if we want a teaspoon for the girls to eat peas. The food was lovely we had the triple chicken burger highly recommend the place and the food

Stopped in here for lunch one day. I didn't find the food to be very over whelming but the service was fast and friendly. And the establishment was spacious and clean. You have to order your food at the bar but they bring it to your table.

Visited kings head today as have several times before, food was fantastic, great staff, Nicola went above and beyond when serving me today, been here when live bands are on and atmosphere is electric, always a great night out, definitely recommend a visit

Well as you can see from my previous review I wasn't exactly enamoured with the food and entire experience from my first visit here, however I am a strong believer in everyone has an off day so gets a second chance, and after a conversation with Keith the Landlord, whom was more than apologetic, we all decided on a revisit, again on a Friday, and may I say it was a completely different experience, I did have a face to face talk with Keith as i thought it was only fair to introduce myself and allow him the opportunity to fully explain the reasoning behind the poor experience on the previous visit, no excuses were made and Keith was upfront about the issues that they had that day, and also assured me that they have put things in place to ensure that the situation should not arise in the

The food took 45 minutes to arrive at our table, which for a quiet pub during the afternoon is quite poor. Once the food arrived (Mixed Grill) the variety of temperatures for each individual item was shocking. Cold sausage, warm gammon, piping hot and, cold chips. After waiting 3/4 of an hour for a mixed grill, you would expect piping hot food to be served to your table. The Kings Head is a lovely place to have a drink, but, very much the opposite for 'pub lunch'. Competitors in the area are substantially better at offering the same service overall.

Working just down the road, three of us thought that we would try something different and pop into town for lunch here, having previous visiting when it was O'Neils a few years ago and enjoyed it. Oh how i longed for those halcyon days this lunchtime. Having only an hour for lunch, we tend to check out the menu of somewhere before we visit so as not to waste precious time when we arrive. So within five minutes of entering we had ordered beers found a table and placed our order for food, nothing special and just regular stuff from the menu, 40 minutes later however we were still awaiting our meals, two mixed grills and a burger, and just as we were about to ask what was happening the mixed grills arrived, i use the term grill lightly, as to be honest apart from the steak and the eggs, I could describe the rest of the plate as lukewarm at best, now normally I would complain but we were still missing the burger and time was against us, so I didn't want to raise issue with as time ticking on we needed to leave, when my colleague went to chase his burger he was told that they were waiting on the chips 45minutes after we had placed the order and with two of us with plates of cold chips. Honestly underwhelmed is an understatement, we regularly do a pub lunch Friday, and try new places, but this is one that we will not be revisiting, if they were busy I could see the reason, but after todays experience I can see why they werent,

Enjoyed lunch but the best thing was the fantastic service from Nicola. She is a credit to the pub. Good selection of beers as well

This is a great place for lunch with a different offer everyday. We had the chicken club sandwich today with a drink included. Sad that I am, I'm fussy about my bacon and asked for it to be crispy if possible and it was. We've eaten here frequently since we moved to the area last summer and have always found the staff pleasant and helpful.

Came here on way back from a holiday and thought we would pop in and have a look at the menu. To my delight they did a Sunday lunch, which myself and my fiancé took advantage of. I had the beef and he had the chicken and beef. Plenty of meat on the plate, half a big Yorkshire pudding, plenty of roasties and mash potato plus garden peas and carrots. Not forgetting the plenty of gravy we got. We enjoyed our lunch shame we didn't have room for desert as they sounded quite nice. Maybe next time we will

We all ordered very different types of meal. We loved them all! I especially loved my steak and double Gloucester pie as it was almost half the main menu price (we visited on a Monday). The mashed potato was lovely and buttery. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Called here with my husband and ordered from the "2 meals for £8.49" list. My Hunters chicken meal was delicious, whilst my husband had Chicken Tikka Marsala which he said was also lovely. This was great value for money and the drinks and Wine were reasonable too. Would certainly visit again !

called in here on saturday night wales playing england rugby place was packed had pint real ale not best wont rush back

Friends and I regularly have Friday night 'supervision' here. The staff are great and recognise their regulars, and always make you feel really welcome. The young lady who seems to run things does an amazingly professional job, and she and the regular staff work damn hard. Food-wise it is of course a 'pub grub' menu, but whatever you order comes out quickly, hot, and very generous for the price. The service is also fantastic - a full bucket of condiments arrives practically straight away, and they always ask if there's anything else you want. There's always a good atmosphere, whether the pub is 'quite' or 'bustling'. Long live the King's carapace!

first time in this bar and a great welcome awaited, landlord very friendly, staff very polite and considerate even though the bar was extremely busy. the food was hot, tasty and well presented. would definitely return here.

We were so looking forward to eating here. The menu was fab. Untill we tried to order and they didnt have a number of dishes. So out choice was limited,i will say that we enjoyed what we did eat and it was a great pub. Would go back and hope that they have all ingredients for all dishes.

We came in here as a group of 6 on a night out drinking. As a drinking venue it was fine and the music was goof enough but as the title says, VERY loud. You couldn't have a conversation in there. However, whilst outside getting some fresh air, the doorman had a chat and recommended some other places to go after. We also lost the coat of one of our party and when we couldn't find it we went back the following morning and it had been put back so that was good. A good place to visit as part of a pub crawl I'd say but not for too long.

A lovely classic pub, Lovely service and staff, proper pub grub. Families welcome, One of the best pubs in town.

Called here in August, and the awful pillars are still here, so nobody knows where the hell to stand. It's a case of people bumping into each other constantly. Customers stand by the bar, so its often difficult to find a way to get served. It's needs a total revamp ....yet again.

We went here for a hen night. The manager set a few tables up for us for the hen. We had a lovely meal and drinks were reasonably prices. Bar staff are lovely here.

The wife and I had been in before when its was Molloys and wasn't too fussed but we thought as its was under a new name we would give it another go..........And Fair play the service and food were great , some fantastic daily meal deals on offer with drinks included and very well priced ££££. we will be going back on anther day to take full advantage of another meal deal.

Had a beautiful breakfast here, and the thing was massive! Double everything with chips, probably the best breakfast I've ever had and priced to get me back, alas I live in Cornwall, I may get back next year, and I'll be sure to make a bee line for this place. Wonderful. The staff were friendly, the locals too, a nice ambiance, great location and very busy.

We visited here last week, we had a beautiful lunch, spot on cooked, and huge portions. Lovely polite staff, clean venue, the tiny lady behind the bar, red hair in ponytail, works very hard indeed x

We hadn't visited this place since it was an Irish bar called O'Neill's. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the food which was very tasty. The friendly bar maid recommended me one of the real ales, giving me a free sample first to see if I liked it - which I did.

called in while in town and passing din't want food only drink was quite busy but managed get seat think this place used be irish bar but malones ? at some stage

Arrived at around 1pm, we easily found a seat and quickly decided what we wanted based on previous experience. We ordered a chicken dinner, scampi and chips, hunter's chicken and the child's meal. All were served in a timely manner and presented to a good standard with ample portions. Very satisfied.

Brilliant night here, the landlords put on a real party! The place was decorated in gold and black, looked great! The hosts provided platters of hot food for every table, as well as snacks, party poppers, hats etc and glasses of bubbly at midnight

They do a huge range of food for really good prices. We opted for the plank with 5 tapas style dishes for under a tenner. The food was well presented and piping hot. Each dish was really tasty and the naga chilli wings lived up to the hype. They were really spicy hot. All the dishes were good, they have a good selection of beers on offer. It was a good morning drinking and eating.

We called into this pub for a lunch time meal, the staff were very friendly, we had a drink and chat whilst viewing the menu, it was the usual pub grub, the food came very quickly, the food matched the prices, ie not big portions unless you pay extra for various items. We had cod and chips, fish very nice but chips not very nice, gammon and chips was OK and steak and chips also OK, this meal was OK.

Stopped off in Bridgend late morning on our way to ferry port. We both had the 'all day breakfast'. Service and food was excellent. Very well priced as well.

Worth trying for your typical pub menu. Good selection with daily offers and good selection of draft beers and lagers. Staff are friendly and food is served promptly, meals are hot as they should be and portions are large.

literally on a Friday night this place was heaving, under 50's downstairs under the patio heaters (ugh) but in the freshair still, ground floor also buzzing and over 50's eating in the upstairs restaurant looking down on an amazing crowd, that said the rest of central Bridgnorth quite literally quite empty as we walked around. Well this was a proper restaurant menu, not pub grub but more than gastro pub too..almost a proper restaurant....well with all the noise downstairs quite impossible to be a "proper" restaurant! Three courses scallops, venison and cheese much more than adequate!!!!

Watched the football. Massive sports fan. Two pints off coke and a packet off crisps. Oh what a night. Had we gone down a forth goal with 20 seconds to go, I honestly think I'd left crying. There is still a long way to go till the end off the season. Grateful for that one.

This may be OK to visit during the day and take your chance with the local alcoholics but beware of going there in the night with your girlfriend/partner. Seemingly it's ok for her to be molested by drunks at the bar if she gets separated from you. And of course when you confront the pervert you stand the chance of being thrown out.

Very friendly service...great choice of excellent Pub food at very reasonable prices. We ate there regularly during our 2 week holiday in the area.

A nice traditional pub with a good selection of beers and food, right in the heart of Bridgend. The management are convivial and staff helpful with food served hot and quickly. The Sunday lunch with a drink at £5.49 is a real bargain

Was open as the Kings Head some 30 years ago then changed to O Neills pub and laterly Malloys.
