The Prince of Wales in Bridgend

Fantastic food and friendly service, highly recommended

Brill pub. Fab staff. Good food could have been so much better with hot plates. Food goes cold easily. Dissapointed no senior citizens or child dinners. Far too much good food wasted by too much for me at 80 years old. Will probably be back

The pub is on a road with moderate traffic. It was very crowded, but there was enough parking space. There are indoor seating with service. In the outdoor area you have to go to the counter to order drinks and food. The service is friendly. The meal was excellent. Due to the wonderful location with a view of the sea at sunset, it was extremely crowded, which also made it very noisy. We were traveling in a motorhome and were allowed to spend the night in the parking lot.

Great local pub, welcoming staff with ample parking. The food was really tasty, everyone in our party really enjoyed. Can't wait to return

Visited with friends group of 4 Food and service very good 👍 I had lamb chops which were very meaty and tasty with mash Only negative was mixed veg which I guess was frozen atmosphere was very good

Great place excellent beer too

We called in on the offchance for lunch on our way to a festival in Dorset and were accommodated by the pub's friendly staff team. As it was a sunny summer's day, many were seated out in the pub garden and along the roadside, with great views across Somerset. I was impressed by the good range of local ciders and real ales. We enjoyed our lunch (Ham, egg and chips + Korma curry); and resisting the temptation for a dessert, settled up and went on our way. However, on the way out one of the staff said she needed helping out with some surplus desserts. Naturally, we had to oblige! This country pub, although added to extensively over the past five decades or so, retains it original character and features. Well worth the climb up Ham Hill for the privelege of a drink and/or some food here!

Booked at the last minute but comfortably fitted in. The food was delicious and especially the battered fish which was so fresh.

We were recommended to try the Prince of Wales as we were in Pyle for a couple of nights and we were not disappointed. We rang at short notice to ask availability and we were fitted in which we were very grateful for. The food was amazing and delicious, the best meal we have had in a long time and the pricing is very reasonable. We hope to visit again while we are here.

Delicious food, friendly staff, definitely recommend!

Lovely pub and I enjoyed the decor and the feel of the place. The food was extremely tasty and quite reasonable priced but took a while to come to the table. However the staff do need to be a little bit more welcoming.

Nice staff nice food nice price lovely Sunday lounch

Arrived on the off chance of an early Saturday dinner, with no reservation. They were unable to accommodate us which was fine. But the demeanour of the barman who spoke with us was way off to the point that had a table been offered, we would’ve declined. Ate at The Angel a stones throw away and were treated well with good food to match.

Super experience. ..well done Dave, you now carry the 🔦 torch 5*+

Average food average service, madras currynthat tasted nothing like it and a tasteless 3 bean chilli, even the beer was average.

Perfect place to have a pint&pie after long walk at the kenfig pool

Historic place with a lovely atmosphere, outstanding home produced food and a wonderful team. Wonderful all round tbh. Gravity poured cask ales 😋

Delicious cuisine and fantastic customer service

Nice old pub and beer lovely. Had Sunday lunch but prefer fresh meat off joints and fresh veg that is not prepacked or frozen. A little disappointed as had good reviews and seemed expensive for what it was despite good portions. Not a gastro pub but I'm sure good ordinary pub grub. Will come back to try their normal menu some day I'm sure but not on a Sunday again.

Great traditional Pub. Great food and the view isn't bad too.

Sat outside with the dog, it was lovely in the sun, very very busy, but the food was still pretty quick and tasty

Great pub with great food! What a classic pub, not many left like this. So worth a visit and in a stunning location. It just oozes history

Beautiful pub with fantastic views and great food. Also good for a function or celebration x

Great place great food great beer great staff.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Wasn't keen on what I had but my families food looked amazing

A great dinner! So worth the drive up!

Super pub, food and hosts.. Bass is perfect..

Stopped off for a quick supper on the way home.

I love the prince, everything about it is pleasing. The food the beer the staff and the building, plus the view they all add to the experience. A great place all round, for a meal or a cheeky pint of excellent beers.

Very good service and good selection of food including gluten free fish and chips and vegetarian options

Excellent place to visit for food very friendly staff

Great little pub.Try the draught bass.😁

Fabulous staff and food, very welcoming 4th time we've been back since David bought the place, we will be back for our anniversary in May

Only had a drink in here but good friendly service we sat in the snug as that's the only part that's dog friendly but the locals there were friendly and talkative. Food looked good and will have a meal next time up.

Fantastic meals available and amazing selection of drinks. Seating outside is a bonus as you can watch the sunset

Haven't been here since we left Porthcawl in 2017 when the Landlord/Landlady at the time were the most obnoxious couple u had ever met! He had created a culture of his cronies hanging around the bar with his Wife being foul mouthed! However the meals were 10/10! Now the bar culture has gone and the current Landlord has a more professional approach! Sadly the meals are not a patch on their predecessors. The laverbread/cockle starter was just laverbread no cockles! The trio of lamb chops was poor, cheap frozen mixed veg which was awful! The meals have lost the charisma of the previous people, even the minted gravy was Bisto! I don't think I'll be rushing back!

Beautiful place, lovely friendly staff. Food was nice. Would return again.

Lovely choice of food, warm atmosphere with pleasant service.

First class food, service. We were staying in the area and this pub was said to be good. Called up to see if they had table free.

Been here many times, however today was woeful, the fish was over cooked.

Being seated upstairs is not the best place when the pub is busy, drinks order taken quickly by a very friendly waitress, and then a different person took our Sunday lunch order, the meal was plentiful but over salted, after clearing the plates a different waitress again gave us the dessert menu and never came back, various other staff cleared tables around us , but not one came to take our order or even ask if we wanted any more drinks. Ended up paying for dinner and leaving disappointed.

Booked Sunday Lunch for wife’s Birthday, splendid meal, first class service, I would highly recommend The Prince of Wales Pub. Great atmosphere. Thank you. We’ll be back.

Wonderful service food excellent hygiene standard Also excellent

Fab place summer and winter. Great food . Love the coal fire .Fab staff

My partner took me there for a birthday meal and it was the best steak that I've had in a long time. My partner had a chicken korma, which she really enjoyed also. The service was excellent, and prices were reasonable. I will definitely be making more visits in the future.

A very quiet evening in the bar area

A big portion of Lasagne and Chips and brilliant value for money. Definitely a firm favourite of mine

Had lunch there. We were a party if 5 and we hadn't booked. The pub was very busy but they made a space for us. Very friendly. Great atmosphere. Excellent food and very good value for money

Beautiful food and great service

Food excellent, service staff polite and efficient. We were in the small room at the back near the kitchen, and the room could have been a bit warmer on winter's day.

Excellent lunch and busy even midweek so best to call ahead and book a table. Service was good and food great. Will definitely visit again .

Went for night out. Group of us about 25. Very good food, service friendly and efficient. Can't fault the place.

Fabulous cosy pub lovely food piping hot 🔥 highly recommended

Fantastic evening with friends.... Our server was absolutely brilliant, so professional and engaging. A credit to the establishment, just wish I'd taken her name....

A classic proper Welsh pub. Big portions with great food. Atmosphere in secondary seating area could do with work, as top down lighting was very bright and felt canteen ish. Main part of pub very nice with lots of history.

Came here with a couple of friends for a drink great atmosphere and staff very polite

Great ales from the wood. Friendly staff and excellent food. Best landlord in town.

The waiter was excellent. Friendly and funny without being too much. Fish and chips great as always. Service exceptional

Lovely old proper pub, large portions of food, lovely warm log burner. Helpful friendly Staff

Good food, lovely bar staff/waitresses and a great pub.

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and usually very busy. The chef here produces high quality food and plenty of it. Can't wait to return

Great location, food, drink choices & staff.

This hasn't happened to me before, I walked in and ordered a drink, picked up a menu, and a gentleman behind the bar said, "If you want food, I'll have a table in a moment. People are just leaving " Then he said " we will look after you" And that was what swung it, food staff ,atmosphere, setting everything just worked. So enjoyable thank you 😊

The food was hot and the staff was very polite.

Stopped at this place for some food on way home. Staff showed us upstair to a banquet hall. They were very helpfull. The for was amazing and bountiful.

This was our first visit while staying nearby. We were glad we booked as it soon filled up. The staff were all lovely. The portions are definitely value for money and arrived piping hot, absolutely delicious. I would recommend a visit, so glad we did

Little gem, popular with walkers and locals alike. Food is homemade and very tasty. The staff are friendly and polite. Portions are quite big, and it's good value for money

Fabulous food with an old world charm. Friendly, helpful staff always go above and beyond to help you choose from the delicious menu

Lovely warm welcome when we arrived. Our 2 large dogs and noisy Grandson managed to take over the whole snug, but the locals were so friendly and took to them straight away. The food was great and the staff were lovely. Will hopefully be back one day

We made a planned stop here on our way to Solva. Lovely old pub with two cask ales on. We ate here and the food was home cooked and very generous portions. We could not eat in the main part of the pub as we had our dog with us. We were in a side room near the bar. The atmosphere was great, very lively and lots of chat between the locals and walkers (visiting the nature reserve) who had popped in for a drink or a bite to eat.

Sunday lunch was mostly frozen veg and frozen roast potatoes

Only a brief visit but really enjoyed sitting outside, taking in the wonderful view with a nice pint of Bass.

Wonderful place. Anyone could spend time just looking at the walls. The history of the place and surrounding, is so fascinating. The real ale [I recommend pints of BASS, but other exotic concoctions are sign posted at the bar. ]. It's a wondrous place and ticks everything in my hand book and bucket list!. A must visit pub for its warmth and history.

Too many filthy dogs. People are more important. Dogs should Not be allowed in adult drinking venue's. Never again and will not recommend.

Brill traditional pub, great portions, lovely staff.

A very good meal here. We booked for a family of 7 and they were able to fit us in. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. There is a lot of choice on the menu. The pies were very tasty. The chips are also very good and well worth the extra calories! Based on the recommendations on trip advisor, I did go for the spotted dick pudding and it was very tasty.

I ordered a chicken madras with half and half tonight. The chips were white and the chicken madras I can only describe as being chicken swamped in a tin of tomatoes. No flavour and defiantly not a madras. I did complain and was offered a free glass of wine. I would not recommend eating here during busy periods. Not happy at all

Went here for my birthday with a gang of us drinks , great , food great , atmosphere great , bar and serving staff great , a no nonsense review 10/10 will definitely come back thank you for a lovely evening.

Awesome meal, great service. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend A*****

Friendly with reasonable prices. Food large portions of good food. And the view is stunning.

A real pub. Great beer, great food, great atmosphere and a real fire. One of the best pubs you will ever visit.

Food is ok but no longer great. Parking is challenging. Still a nice location

Nice busy pub. Food was good but not fantastic.

A fabulous, very accommodating pub with great food. Nothing was too much trouble for the very friendly staff. The food was really good! Thank you. We will be back!

Great traditional pub with good food, friendly bar staff.

Had a good meal and dessert. With good beer . Enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were excellent . Will go there again soon

Ate lunch here with friends. Had a warm welcome and good friendly service. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. I would recommend without hesitation.

Excellent food great staff highly recommend

Very tasty spinach and cream cheese lasagne. Spotted dick and custard was excellent, haven't had that for years. Very good pint of Guinness. Friendly staff too.

Beautiful scenery and really close to Kenfig pool! Lots of lovely dogs in the beer garden! Drinks were okay!

This spot is great for casual night out. Food was exceptional and you could tell was cooked fresh. Definitely leave room for a pudding!

Massive portion for lunch ! My 2nd visit now! I was struggling to finish it! Great value for the portion that is given. I’ve ordered the braised made faggots ! And there was soo big !!! Staff is very friendly too! Food came reasonable quick! No doubt will revisit again!

Fantastic can really recommend this place.

Went for lunch today, the food is excellent, staff are on the mark, we had two large cod and a prime burger all meals were boiling hot, with real chips, so hard to find

My family and I recently visited the Prince of Wales Inn for a birthday meal. The pub was very busy but had a lovely atmosphere. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. My family enjoyed a range of meals from the menu and were impressed by the quality and portion size. I had the Red Chinese Chicken Curry, which was good, but the chicken seemed like pre-cooked cubes mixed into curry sauce, but the portion size could have fed 2 people. The parking here is quite awkward. I was fortunate to get a space in the car park. However, as mentioned, it was very busy, and there were many cars parked along the verge of the main road. Will definitely visit again and perhaps try something different.

Fantastic menu beautiful food and awesome table service highly recommend this restaurant.

Revisited this historic pub after living overseas for twenty years. I used to go there as a kid and sit on the wall with a glass of pop while my dad had a pint inside. During my first 20 years I must have walked thousands of miles over the dunes full of dewberries down to Sker and across to the river Kenfig. Amazing fish and chips for three. We had a small portion which was big and excellent. The best my wife has ever had. Lovely staff, great service amazing venue. The locals are so kind and helpful, genuinely nice people. Full of stories and great to spend time with.

1st time here & it was a very good experience. Booked a table for 2 @ 5pm on a Saturday. We arrived on a really nice summers evening & all of the garden table were occupied (a good sign) Service: 10/10 Very quick, polite & knowledgeable. Atmosphere: 10/10 Typical country pub. Food: 10/10 A little more expensive than other establishments we have visited but we'll worth the money as the food was of superb quality. Toilets: 10/10 Spotless. I'm not sure if there is an overflow car park but we grabbed the last space in the main car park which is not very large. Overall experience: 10/10 Will definitely return & recommended to family and friends.

We were recommended by a friend to try and have not been disappointed. The food is excellent and the service is first class. Everyone should try it.

Always a friendly welcome here. Food is absolutely beautiful and it's perfect for a drink outside whilst taking the view. Fish & onion rings are favourites of ours here.
