The Llynfi Arms in Bridgend

Very impressed by the 1st official opening day of the Llynfi . The new owners see nice , polite and down to earth . The beers very nice and atmosphere was good . Glad to my local re opened and will definitely be back soon

Delicious and tasty! Much tastier than larger/chain places i’ve eaten The Garlic prawns were amazing, the sauce was delicious Prawns and pulled pork were nice too

Good local pub, great staff, nice experience, definitely go again, apparently the food is good too

Great tapas but kept getting asked to leave a review by a member of staff which spoiled the night a little bit

We had a delivery in lockdown and the food was fantastic! Saw them advertising last month a pay £50 get a £100 voucher thought too good to be true. Booked in Sat 11th of Feb at 6.30pm. To review no drinks menu just Tapas menu. Ordered 6 tapas and a bottle of wine not sure what wine we had but had pretty warm not great. Calamari- was like kids fish bites. Chicken and cranberry woeful brisket was grim…. Aubergine and honey fries the highlight. The rest blended in…. Toilet in restaurant area bin overflowing could see used sanitary items. Restaurant itself needs a lick of paint with fills in holes on walls….. Im gutted as food we had a few years back was fantastic. Needs a good overhaul by owners. We spent under £60 of vouchers gave the staff the voucher and left…. I hate I’m writing this about an independent business but needs to be said.

Been to the Llynfi quite a few times and will be back. Great food, great price and always very helpful and welcoming .

Excellent food again tonight, such a lovely atmosphere!

Could not fault one thing from start to finish!!! Each member of staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond what is expected. We both had steak (cooked differently) and both were done perfectly to what was requested. Will definitely be returning.

Find it too noisy and small. Not fussed on menu (tapas) live music very good there.

We were a family party of 7, age range from 15 to 74. We had a very warm welcome and our server was extremely attentive. We had tapas starters which were hot and freshly prepared, all very tasty. We had the steak deal for mains, all different cooking times with variety of lovely sauces. Garnish was rocket, roasted baby tomatoes, homemade onion rings and bowl of chips. All well cooked, delicious and well seasoned. Couldn't fault it. Gill Davies

Fantastic New Years Eve at Llynfi Arms. Food was amazing. Entertainment and singer superb. Well done to all the staff. Brilliant night. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Came here for the tapas night and have also tried the Sunday dinner, the food never fails to impress and the staff and management are brilliant. The landlord was as helpful as possible and the staff were regularly checking in on us and topping up our drinks. I tried the chilli prawns, calamari and cockle popcorn which was delicious. I had the cheesy garlic bread and dirty fries to share with my partner alongside her own food, which again…. Was outstanding. I would 100 percent recommend coming here for food and even drinks again as the pub has a very good vibe and is full of lovely people. Will definitely be visiting again, thank you everyone at the Llynfi Arms.

This has become a firm favourite. Food is always stunning, atmosphere is welcoming and never rushed. Great for couples, friends or family.

Xmas eve tapas...maybe they had been busy, but half the small menu wasn't available.... basically had the food for a table of 6 brought out at different times, 2 people would eat but 4 would have to watch. It was basically all served on bread even the tacos turned out to be flattened bread.... awful service, staff so young but would no doubt be better if they had a bit of training. One offered to go to the fuel station down the road to buy diet lemonade bless her. Dining room dirty (stinking in fact) cobwebs been there so long they've gathered dust. Was good once, hopefully it will have a shakeup and get its act together.

Staff were happy to accommodate our party of 20 and were very attentive throughout the evening. Live music was perfect. Although rushed off his feet the manager still made time to check everything was ok, several times throughout the evening. Food was fantastic and complemented the atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back with the family. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Really good pub and amazing food.

The service tonight was awful. On arrival, we got put in the restaurant where we felt like nothing but an inconvenience. We got asked if we wanted more drinks, twice during the 3 and a half hours we were there. Our food order was taken, none of our food came out the same time. The tapas dishes took 40 minutes to come, nothing was brought out together. The steak orders weren’t correct. We paid the bill and asked to speak to a manager. The manager may as well have said he couldn’t care. I was palmed off and told to “come back, we will make it up to you”. I personally will not be coming back. Stewart, who was the “manager” on shift had awful attitude and was extremely rude because I am young. He said “do you not understand how tapas works” when I told him that the dishes took 40 minutes to come out. We had to ask for a side of chips that we ordered which didn’t come out until an hour after the food started coming out. Overall, it was poor service and I will not be returning.

I have not been here for many years, what a transformation, did not have food but it looked and smells amazing, will be eating next time I'm there

Had a brilliant night for our works party. Stuart & his staff were awesome. Food was stunning as always. Music by Tom Sutch was excellant as always. A good night was had by all 🎄🎅🍺🥂🎵🎤 Thank you very much ❤️ Merry Christmas to you all See you soon

Went to the Llynfi Arms Tondu. Arrived without a booking at 1.30 Sunday and was given a table. almost straight away. We had the set lunch. Came quite quickly. I had turkey my wife had lamb. Meat was perfect aand generous in portion size and came with biggest Yorkshire pud I've ever seen. Also had huge quantity of veg all done nicely. Point; the food came on hot plates and came with plenty of gravy. Gravy was ab fab and nice and hot. Yorkshire wasnt greasy or dry as you often get but moist, crispy and good flavour. Girls at the bar v friendly and helpful. Lovely lunch will come again (even if we do live 30 miles away)

Great atmosphere and really great food. Would recommend

Paid a visit to the Llynfi with my wife and our 6 week old daughter. Despite being understaffed due to illness, we didn't have to wait long for our food which was fantastic as always. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and we look forward to visiting again soon - can't beat a bit of Tondu tapas!

We walked in to The Llynfi Arms hoping a table was available for 3 people. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, they sat us down straight away, and were attentive, knowledgeable and thoughtful, providing recommendations to suit our preferences, and tailoring our orders e.g. the chicken wings to be served without spice. The owner come over to discuss the process behind some of their famous dishes and they couldn't do enough for us. The food was absolutely delicious, we had a great time at The Llynfi Arms! If you're after great food and great atmosphrere with staff that are passionate about what they do, visit The Llynfi Arms!

This place is just 👌 Management and staff are amazing food is always great... Defo recommended to all

Management need to review the inadequate their booking system! And response to customers! Several messages exchanged, agreed to a table at 3pm, however no confirmation was received! Telephoned the restaurant, no reply! So left a message to confirm our booking and asked for the restaurant to confirm. Again NO communication.! Called into the restaurant, four staff standing behind the bar, was told they were fully book (even though the restaurant had empty tables) no apology only a snotty remark that they did not take messages. BUT they have a answering service! Disappointing service and response!

Lovely Sunday lunch today with family at the Llynfi Arms! Food was amazing - really fresh and the meat was delicious. Great set by Ragsy after food too. Can’t wait to come back and try the tapas menu!

We've just moved to the area so decided to try this place. The food was fantastic though the chef needs to ease up on the salt slightly. Music was on while we were there and he was amazing. The pub was full and we had...

I never write reviews but honestly this place is one I can’t not write about. We had a nightmare of a day as our flight was cancelled and needed food on the way home, searched trip adviser and called ahead, they’d stopped serving but asked...

We came here as part of a family meal, I must say the team were helpful and someone was always around if needed. On booking a while back, we were told it would be Tapas and Grill but on arrival they only offered Tapas, which...

Went here after funeral.. very lovely and friendly staff.

As always the food was just amazing ! The chefs are genius with the way they put flavours together , I can’t recommend this place enough , very reasonable on prices - the fillet beef is by far my favourite on the menu

My friends arranged me a surprise baby shower and chose the best venue. The tapas dishes were all cooked well and felt like authentic Spanish tapas. Very responsibly priced. The owner of the restaurant took the time to chat with us and gave us some...

Incredible tapas food, a very warm welcome, overall outstanding service. Very pleased and shall be visiting more often. Thank you

Amazing food, every single piece of Tapas was so tasty! Great service and live music. Awesome find, highly recommend

Furst time weve visited. Beautifully set up inside, very warm welcome and outstanding food! Would recommend to anyone and everyone to visit. Thank you

Absolutely amazing service! Staff couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating! Food was superb! Love this place ❤️ Would definitely recommend for any event.

Lovely find, staff very friendly, Sunday dinner was nice ,but roasts seemed deep fried as very greasy ,gravy too watery ,but Yorkshire pudding were amazing

why get rid of the good staff got rid of good staff and regular customers you have made the place a waste

Highly recommend Sunday lunch here. Extremely large portions sizes which is cooked to perfection. Stuart and his team is very attentive and welcoming and can’t do enough to make your visit a enjoyable experience. Also there was a lovely background singer which made it feel...

What a pretty little place this hidden gem is and then the icing on the cake was that the food was absolutely devine. The service was really fast & with a smile and I'd recommend this place to anyone, couples, friends, families ♥️

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. Thank you we all enjoyed and will return again! Beautiful setting and relaxed.

The Food & atmosphere Never disappoints!!!! I went to the Llynfi Arms with a friend and we wanted a night of just chilling and a bite to eat. What we had was a relaxing cosy corner, amazing atmosphere and better food. The Pork Belly was...

Found this pub on TripAdvisor as visiting the area with work. We were a group of eight people. Staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Service was excellent from the moment we arrived. Food freshly prepared and of a good standard. Staying here for the week,...

Food was very tasty and reasonably priced £15 for 3 tapas style dishes. Good size portions, left very filled up and very nice quality. Owner was very friendly and gave us a free limoncello shot to finish the meal. Highly recommend

Admittedly only ordered a bowl of chips which arrived promptly, a generous portion, beautifully crispy and delicious. Consumed with couple of pints of Madri Lager, one of the few pubs stocking this I have found. Goes with the Spanish theme, I suppose. Polite and efficient...

Good service, friendly atmosphere, looks stunning inside.

Sunday lunch was fantastic. Friendly atmosphere with great staff. Lovely touch having a live singer to finish off the experience. Will definitely be visiting again

The most amazing tapas menu with really lovely staff creating! A great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend the Llynfi Arms to everyone!

Went for birthday treat. Very friendly and inviting pub. Well looked after, little wait before being served our food but was given completely dish showing they were aware of us which was nice. When our dishes came I have to say they were delicious. We...

We tried almost everything on the short paper menu and it was either very good or great, there may have been another menu but we couldn't find it and weren't offered it but saw some pretty spectacular food coming out of the kitchen that wasn't...

After reading some positive reviews, decided to visit as live locally but usually head into Bridgend for a meal with friends. The atmosphere was very welcoming and it was very busy so we ordered the tapas and drinks and waited to be impressed . The...

Fantastic food best tapas around and very reasonable prices, highly recommended

Great food and really lovely staff, had a lovely meal with my wife. The restaurant side feels like an after thought having eaten in the bar and the restaurant but same great and good service.

First time for visit for the Three Amigos on our culinary tour of South Wales. Excellent tapas enjoyed by all. Hot and fresh and tasty. Service to match, attentive, friendly and very welcoming. Atmosphere was lovely. Very friendly and cosy. Not too many people but...

Really enjoyed both the food and the relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Place was quite busy but service was attentive. Would recommend checking it out.

Really enjoyed the food, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, will definitely be returning, 👍

Fabulous Sunday lunch! Tender lamb with beautifully cooked veg & tasty Yorkshire pud! Girls serving were lovely. One of our fav places! Desserts beautifully presented too!

Just finished a lovely dinner at the Llynfi Arms. First visit,will definitely return. Very well presented and prepared and the very nice Blank Angus beef was served pink,delicious! Lovely friendly team,excellent all round.

Great Tapas..Great entertainment 👌 Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu 😋

Came here on a Monday evening for our daughters 21st birthday, 6 of us. The food was absolutely beautiful, stunning presentation, staff were warm and friendly. We can't wait to come back, thanks for making the night special

Great Tapas and fantastic service. Will be back soon

Great little pub with singer on a Sunday afternoon...not much alchol for me today but we will be back for a proper afternoon / evening

Good beer good food full of people enjoying themselves

Great evening here for a birthday party! 10 plus in all & service and quality of food brilliant! Tasty tapas including good veggie options. Would definitely recommend! The monkfish wrapped in jamon was fab as was the belly pork. Cheesy garlic bread the best ever!

Very warm welcome on arrival. Tapas were highly recommended and me and my friend thoroughly enjoyed. The bar was still decorated in their Jamaican themed night which I would have loved to attended, as it looked amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Great Tapas. Nice comfortable atmosphere only called in a for drink b4 going to supermarket. Food looked good and waitress showed a menu. So stayed and enjoyed

Impressed with menu, good variety, would go again.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch. Personally, I would have liked a lot more roast potatoes - mainly because they were excellent, but very generous with meat and Yorkshire pud, both perfect. If you go, remember to keep some of that pud to mop up the gravy which is also excellent. We went on a rainy day, but on a nice day it looks great for kids outside.

10 of us had a table here for dinner tonight. Tapas came in dribs and drabs, service was poor and staff pretty inattentive. We were sat in the restaurant side of the pub and the fire door there was used by the staff frequently for...

I live very close to The Llynfi Arms and didn’t realise this little gem was one of the best restaurants around. I booked through Facebook messenger and when we arrived the atmosphere and decor was beautiful. We were welcomed by very friendly staff and quickly...

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were extremely friendly! I will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much🙌🏼

Not our first time. As always wonderful meal and great service. Very short notice booking last minute on our part. A slightly reduced menu from previous visits but still plenty of choice and cooked perfectly.

Food is the best tapas I’ve had including my visits to Spain , I’ve eaten here many times and the food has never been less than perfect , the Sunday lunch is to die for , the selection at the bar is second to none...

I've been here a couple times now and fell in love with the food ! First time it was just me and my wife and we were so impressed the next month we brought our family and they were just as happy as us. As...

I recently had Sunday lunch in the LLynfi Arms with some girlfriends. It was that fantastic I had to take my husband last Sunday (6th Feb 2022) He's one of those who only likes home cooked Sunday lunch, but he loved it so much we're...

Well dropped them a message well in advance for valentines day asking if i could place a booking for that night , they took a little time to get back to me , but then said that would be fine , but then i asked if they had a menu .... they said sorry we don't , but we are in the middle of doing one , a week or so passed i again requested a menu for valentines night , this time i got told we will have one in a couple of days ... ok messaged them again 2 days later to then be told " it will be released tomorrow " this was on the feb 4th , i waited an extra 48 hours and then requested it again , as well as checked out their FB Page and their website does not seem to work , since the 4th feb i still have had no reply from them and no valentines menu , BUT they still happily kept on posting on their fb page despite ignoring all message requests , not sure how they managed to get high ratings on trip advisor if they blatantly ignore messages about potential bookings , i ended up just cancelling my booking and going to a more customer friendly establishment !!

Fantastic meal and great service definitely be back😋

i ate here with my friends, food was fast and fresh and staff was so lovely. would recommend. i will be going here again.

Booked Llynfi last minute for five of us, what a lovely atmosphere, great surroundings & well what can I say about the Tapas, absolutely gorgeous, best Tapas I've ever had, taste was second to none, staff were amazing so friendly & promt, thank you so...

Went with friends for Sunday lunch. Cooked to perfection and more than ample food. Lovely atmosphere but at the same time adhering to covid restrictions

Great Tapas, lovely staff and good service. Bargain offer during the week for three dishes for really delicious food and well presented. The belly pork is awesome! Definitely worth a visit.

Enjoyed an excellent night in the Lynfi with family and friends. Great food and service, live music very relaxed atmosphere. People really enjoy themselves in this very friendly pub.

Another evening of food. Fresh, tasty and sharable

Loved the food , very welcoming atmosphere. Book early to avoid disappointment.

They accommodated us for Sunday lunch when we phoned in the morning, which was surprising. The staff were friendly and they were busy, however, we waited an hour for our food and the food wasn't all good. Beef was a little tough, the veg seemed from a packet and the stuffing (on a beef dinner) was paxo packet made. . . Disappointing, but perhaps I was expecting too much. Overall, good.
