We went to watch the live band on a Saturday night having been recommended this pub by a local who we bumped into. The pub had a lovely, happy, welcoming atmosphere and drinks were cheap! The band was absolutely amazing, locals friendly and we had one of the best nights! I would definitely recommend for a live music night (most Saturdays)

Very friendly and welcoming. Provided our dogs with a drink and a treat. Would be great if you had a larger non alcoholic selection eg tea , coffee and hot chocolate etc

Might be the last decent pub standing in Bridgend. Refurbished to a good standard, nice atmosphere and wide selection of reasonably priced drinks.

Currently does not do home cooked food. Great atmosphere, a small selection of real ales. Often has live music,open mic and quiz night's.

Service is good, although they could probably do with an extra member of staff during busy times. Decent range of drinks. Serious hygiene issues with the toilets though, I don't think they've been cleaned in years. If it wasn't for that I would have definitely come back again in the future.

A proper pub, run very well with something different on each night of the week. Geraint, Katie and the rest of the team have made this a real gem in the heart of Bridgend. Sadly they are leaving and the Pub is going to be closed again. It's a pity that the owners, Star Bars and Pubs, and the brewery Heineken couldn't see what this place means to the people that use it and provide the support that is needed here. Just check out the 248 Facebook messages in support of the current Landlord and Landlady. This is a huge loss to our community. I expect at some point in the future someone else will be found to run it, and also I expect that they will run into the same problems if they aren't addressed. So why not just sort things out now, and let the good people of Bridgend enjoy this beautiful little pub.

One of the best pubs in Bridgend, the staff are always cheerful and courteous. They are always ready to laugh and are never rude. 10/10 for customer service.

Many people complain about the lack of "good" pubs in Bridgend but this is far from the truth. The Old Castle restores good old fashioned (with a modern twist) pub atmosphere. Yes the building in certainly inviting but the warm welcome and the ability to make the customer feel "special" is a dying art, both Geraint and Katie (and all staff) certainly make you feel that way. The Old Castle treats customers like family!!

Geraint & Katie have transformed this pub. They have giving it such a beautiful makeover. They work really hard and they always give a warm welcome. Pop in and say hello.

First visit for a while, following a bad experience last year! Lovely welcome, from lady host, and from a fellow drinker at the bar. Warm fire, a lovely atmosphere. Could only have 2 drinks as booked in for a meal elsewhere. Will definitely return. Hopefully a return to the old days!

The Old Castle is one of Bridgend's most popular pubs and is now open under new management. The new team are doing a brilliant job; restoring this pub into its' former glory. Visited yesterday for a late lunch with friends. Excellent food, all fresh and home-cooked. Surf and Turf (Steak and Scampi) served with real chips, peas, side salad and freshly made coleslaw that was to die for! My friends had Cod and chips which was the freshest, whitest, perfectly cooked fish in the crispiest batter. I will be ordering this on my next visit! My surf and turf was £12.99 and the Cod was £6.99 A good choice of real ales are available. I paid £3.40 for an excellent pint of Abbot Ale. I would recommend a visit to the Old Castle. The new team are setting very high standards and obviously It will become a very popular venue in Bridgend.

This is an awful Pub. The images on here are old. The place looks grotty and tired now. The staff are not too alert either. An unwelcoming place with far better pubs within 100 yards of this.

What a treat what a stunning building this is. Went out for my parents anniversary and this was the perfect location they have been here many times before but this is a first for us. The food was so wonderful. I would highly recommend anybody coming here for food. We had a few cocktails. They were extremely nice a little bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

We were in Maesteg for a visit and thought we’d call into the market but found it had permanently closed 5 months previously. This cafe used to be in the market but is now in a precinct area just outside of it. We both went for the all day breakfast for £4 - great value - bacon, sausage, egg, hash brown, beans or tomatoes, mushrooms and toast as well as a mug of tea or coffee. For an extra £1 you could have had another egg, bacon, sausage, hash brown and a slice of black pudding. The place was clean and tidy and the staff friendly. If we ever return to Maesteg we’d be happy to return here.

Came in 2022 and really enjoyed it, so decided on another visit. We were not disappointed. Friendly staff and great food. My wife had the Hake which she said was delicious, I had the Trio of Lamb Chops, they were beautiful and tasty, but you’ll need to be hungry to finish them. All this and dog friendly, what more could you want.
