the pheasent in Bridgend

Went with family and had an excellent meal / good selection of food and portions are plentiful. Staff were extremely attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Extra plus point is can take the dog and they even have dog treats and water available. Overall a fantastic pub in a lovely village would definitely return.

Great food. Excellent value. Staff very efficient. Always a good atmosphere. Will be back very soon thankyou Lizzie and team

Used to go here years ago was one of my favourite places, lovely inside with a beautiful seated area outside with a gated children’s play area just stopped going due to work and Mor convenient places near to where I live. Decided to go there because it’s closer to where my daughter lives but she’ll be travelling from now on…. Long wait for 3 mixed grills, 2 curries, fish and chips and I think a sea bass. Curries were decent and the fish was ok but the mixed grills were poor, no taste and quite tough for being medium. Won’t be going for food again. A pint and a sit outside yes

Had an awful experience here. Ordered the Starters and when served I had only taken a few mouthfuls before our mains arrived. I said that we weren't ready and that they should be taken back to the kitchen. The waitress came back with the meals and said she had to leave them on the table. I refused so a manager came out and told us we had a choice, either the food would be left to go cold on our table or in the kitchen, and that we would not be receiving any other meals instead. I told her we refused to eat stone cold food. We were informed that the mains are cooked the moment the Starters are served. I have never been treated this badly in a restaurant before and will certainly never return there. May I suggest to the owners that they serve complimentary mini shovels with the starters so that customers can shovel in the food in under five minutes. The Pheasant is a disgrace and I wonder what the Food Safety Agency would make of it, I shall contact them to find out.

I received a flyer through my letterbox advertising this pub and thought I'd give it a try. I went there with my partner on 25th June (which was my birthday), entered the bar and observed several available tables, with no reserved marked on them. Approached the completely empty bar area, one young guy behind the bar, who said he would have to ask the manager if we could have a table, he then returned and said that they couldn't fit us in as they were 'swamped' - if that's what they call swamped I'd hate to go in there when it is actually busy!! I was very disappointed as it was my birthday, went home hungry and wouldn't recommend this place or ever attempt to give them any of my business at any time going forward.

We went to this pub at the end of June. It is set in a lovely little village and the pub is a gorgeous building. They have a cool playpark that the kids loved. We had some drinks. The beer was reasonably priced and tasted good, but the wine was costly at £10 for a large glass. The food looked nice but when we went to order, we were told they had stopped doing food- which was not advertised anywhere. This meant we needed to leave before we wanted to. Overall we enjoyed our visit and will return again.

Came for the quiz as we regularly do and usually really enjoy- good atmosphere and service. When we came this time there was a group of young men vaping which we told the bar staff. They went over once to tell them now to buy then they kept vaping obviously all night with noone checking on them. It smelt disgusting and is obviously illegal. Hopefully it's a one off and they won't return but it really spoilt our evening

Beautiful pub friendly staff terrible choice for vegetarians and vegans 2 choices from main menu. Lots of deserts on offer

Visited 9th Feb 2024 Amazing pub, beautiful setting, My mum a d I had fish chips peas, sister had The steak and ale pie. Wow Fish was huge, cooked to perfection. The pie huge home cooked gravy yummy plenty of meat. Waitress, didn't get her name very tall lovely smile. Very pretty. Polite and came back to see if our meals are ok ...Shall visit again it was My birthday meal, did not disappoint Thank you ..

Excellent Christmas meal. Great value for 3 delicious courses. All 6 of us enjoyed the food. Fantastic service. Shout out to Izzy & Ffion for their help, going over & above to help me as I was on crutches & on my own initially! Proud to take my colleagues to my local for the 2nd year for a Christmas meet up. Thanks All & Merry Christmas 🎅🏼🎄👍🏻

I have eaten here a few times now with friends and the all food served is amazing, not only to look at but tastes 👌 I am GF and Lactose intolerant, I also dont eat any meat which for many places is tricky offering just one or two meals but not here. Here you have a wide choice of the menu and if i need a dish tweaked, the servers and the chief all go above and beyond to serve up a tasty plate of food. If you haven't tried here yet, I really recommend it. You will love it

Went out for my wife’s family meal, with all the kids, food took ages to come, steak was grisly and like a rubber boot and cold, fish was over cooked and looked like it was cooked in old oil, Pint of coke for kids £5.95, not much less than my pint of beer, Won’t be rushing back there in a hurry

The team never fail us, we rang spontaneously, successfully got a table, lunch order taken promptly, great professional team. Food hot and tasty. Table clean. What else could we ask for. Thank you team 😋

We went into The Pheasant, Pen y Fai because we were visiting relatives graves in the nearby chapel. We were ready for lunch, we were lucky because we hadn’t booked. Our party has some really delicious food, all a reasonable price. One person had pie of the day with vegetables, gravy and creamed potatoes. The other 2 people shared a baked Camembert, cheesy garlic bread & Halloumi fries. All excellent. Will definitely return. Highly recommended

We went for lunch and waited ages for our food and when it did arrive it was over cooked.We had to ask for the sweet menu and then still waited ages.It was very disappointing.

One hour after ordering a family meal, there was no sign of the food. Other tables were also questioning the lateness of their meal. Sadly, this establishment was unable to provide a basic food service. In one hour only two meals were sent from the kitchen. Order now for Christmas and be seated by late October and you should be served sometime in December.

Lovely pub with an interesting menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Good food. Very clean venue. We will be visiting again.

Really rude, unpleasant landlady wont be returning for lunch or dunner and staff seemed scared of her. Gone downhill

Very disappointed. We went for an evening meal and preordered drinks. A beer and a gin and tonic. It came so full of ice it was ridiculous and I asked them to remove it as one or two lumps of ice were sufficient but when it was removed it left a thimble full of gin in the bottom ! When we queried the measure we were told it was correct and with the tonic came to £7. We had a mediocre starter paid the bill and left. Consequently we won’t be back !

Had an evening meal at the Pheasant on the 7th of June - There were 6 of us at the table. The food was over cooked and tasteless, we were sat by the front door and seemed to get forgotten by the table staff. Bar staff were decent but it isn’t a venue I would rush back to for a meal. All the fish we ordered for the table were over cooked, so we’re the chips - some of the plates had clumps of chips, the peas were probably served using a tea spoon. A terrible experience for a birthday get together.

Booked for lunch at 1pm. ordered meals at 1.10pm. It wasn't that busy there so we didn't know what the delay was, so 35 minutes later asked waitress when were we going to have our lunch. 10 minutes later food arrived. I ordered hunters chicken, it was really dry, and the chips were very overcooked. My wife had the homemade chicken and mushroom pie and mash. The pastry on the pie was so hard, and the glazed carrots were inedible,. My daughter had the fish and chips, and it was the same sorry story with the chips, overcooked!! The whole meal was very disappointing, and we complained and had a 20 per cent discount, but it doesn't make up for a poor meal and spoilt occasion. We will not be visiting again, and advise anybody contemplating a meal there to avoid at all costs.

We went for lunch on a Monday (a group of 5). It had been a while since we had been here, maybe 4 years or so. The place has a nice cosy vibe, perfect on a cold January day. The food was really good especially the steak and ale pie. The cost was resonable, I think just about everything in this world has gone up recently, and I would say the price was fair. You get what you pay for. I would definately recommend eating here and we will be going back again sometime soon.

Quite early around 5.30pm so not many people about we ordered our meals I had a glazed Hunters Chicken this was probably the best I have ever had my wife had the chicken pie this also was very well received not being a big drinker I had a small RevJames ale my wife a small Red wine by the end of the meal I was struggling to finish it all such was the quantity we have not visited this pub for around 6 months the menu was somewhat different from what we expected I mentioned this to the staff and was told it changed over last September I told them the menu was very much improved over the original the staff were so very pleasant too. All in all a very pleasant experience

A supposed new menu launch seems to have meant an exorbitant increase in prices. Large red wine rose to £7.75 from £6 a week earlier. The burger and fries also reduced in quality. Burger half the size and the fries changed to the thin type you get in McDonalds. To be honest next time I will be going to Macdonalds. 🤷🤷 Now an ex regular. Won’t be going again.

Had lunch here today. Not sure if I would return. Firstly like many Brains pubs the outside seating is totally unsuitable for many. Why do pubs think benches attached to tables are suitable for everyone. I would think over 50% of customers can't sit on them or if they can they find them very uncomfortable. Whats wrong with proper chairs? Sandwiches on the lunch menu consisted of two very, very thin slices of bread and although they were tasty the portion was extremely small for the price. Compared to many places the standard menu prices were also way over the top! Nothing left to say really.

Family of 5, booked for 4.30pm! No table reservation found despite online booking and phoning to double check - put in the bar area which was colder and less of an atmosphere than the restaurant. Starters was the best part of the experience! Couldn't fault it! Massive gap ensued before a main meal arrived - cod batter rubbery, burger tasteless and a tough sirloin steak. Massive gap again, no one checking how our food was, had to chase to get cutlery. Massive gap again.... tried to order drinks, successful when we saw a waiter - 15 minute wait for them to arrive. Desserts, luke warm, apple crumble not the best! They arrived after about a twenty minute wait! VERY SLOW SERVICE AND BELOW AVERAGE FOOD! I will not be coming back here any time soon!

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch! Yummy roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire puddings and the lamb and beef cooked perfectly. All Covid regs reassuringly in place as well. Highly reccomended.

I think when you go to the pheasant you should order the ribs because the meat is well cooked and it’s not expensive l. Jake aged nine

The food is typical of a pub chain. Nothing exciting. The quiz was great with a variety of topics. The service at the bar was entertaining. More to be pitied than scolded.

There was 13 of us 2 young kids under 5 and two over 5. staff couldn’t do enough for them and the food is always amazing would highly recommend this place for a quiet drink or meal

So lucky to have this place on our doorstep. Great food and great value. We visit as a couple and sometimes with the family. Best to book but can often get a table in the bar if taking a chance. Sunday lunch is best around too. Staff are great with good knowledge of the menu and offers. Steph is a real gem!

Went for late lunch...three of us. Two of us chose off 2 for £12 menu and the other off specials board. Both myself and my Sister in Law had the fish and chips. It looked really good. On starting the thinner pieces were fine and the batter crispy. However in the centre the batter was crispy but the coating and fish were slimy. Should have complained but didn't want the fuss. To me, and to my Sister in Law, the fish needed another few minutes cooking. Won't go again for a while, and another time would certainly mention it to the staff.

Empezar salieron rápido. patés era de un paquete y era horrible, mis hijos sopa tenía la piel encima para esto muestra que era calentados. Curry salió y fue una lata de tomates con pollo en antigua. Tenía una hamburguesa y una ensalada, la ensalada era brown!!!! Si no hubiera tenido que pagar en el bar primero lo de salir, creo que es una suculenta audacia para servir de basura bien pagando los patrones. Me pareció que sesos era una cadena que se podía confiar, que estaba equivocado.
