The Royal Oak in Bridgend

Popular local pub , friendly locals , average local prices for ale , good grub .

The must place for Sunday lunch , book well in advance to ensure you get a table

Service brilliant food brilliant customer service shocking when I went to pay I was asked if we were leaving which I replied as soon as my husband finished his drink the nxt customer came over and literally stood right by my husband he was not happy at all

Lovelly staff and great beer, try old Rosie if you like cider 😜 😉 😋

This dinner was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back thanks so much

Great food, great price, great atmosphere

Food was good ..excellent value for money ..staff were amazing very friendly and attentive first time there will definitely go back

Beautiful Sunday dinner, plenty of meat. Happily provided a bowl for the toddler and a Yorkshire pudding. Will definitely be returning!

Thank you for the most wonderful Christmas dinner. I was unable to cook this year, but what a lovely meal you prepared,- picked it up with no trouble, and eaten with much appreciation by all of us. Again, thank you! X

Just found this little place. Lovely food great service, some nice rugby memories around the pub. Will be back for food again. All at great price!!

Great place for a drink with friends

Whenever we are in porthcawl we always visit best place for food always cooked lovely and so reasonable the staff are always friendly always busy so best to book goes to show how good they are

Great pub with amazing food, friendly staff, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.. I highly recommend a visit here..

Good prices and most of the food was lovely. My only complaint was the veg lasagne there was very little filling in it, it was mainly layers of pasta. I will go again but will order something else.

Cracking meal, served quickly with a smile 😁

Hadn't been here for a while, but glad we did return, lovely food, friendly staff and reasonably priced. We will return again

Ate Sunday lunch, veggie nut roast plus trimmings excellent, very popular pub on a Sunny Sunday afternoon 😎

Tidy place for elvis week drinks cheap

Lovely food, very friendly staff, can't wait to go back again soon

Wow, amazing sadly found this late on in our holiday great menu choice and prices really friendly staff, fish pie, pulled pork burger and fish and chips deserve special mentions. What is really great is your choice of spud, mash, chips or boiled. It's great not to have to have chips with everything

Stood outside ... biggest weekend of the year and not letting people in counted 60 people leaving but not letting anyone in

Lovely place with very tasty food. Lovely staff that are very helpful.

Lovely pint good food,busy pub,friendly staff,

What a lovely revisit to our old haunt today ! We decided to have a bite to eat in "The Oak" and boy were we glad. Excellent service with happy smiling faces and a really good menu to choose from. We chose steak and ale pie and battered fish and chips. Delicious!! Cooked to perfection quickly served and delivered with a smile. Well done! you made two oldies feel at home. We shall return. 👍

Ok for quick fix brekkie Ale was nice too...

Amazing Sunday roast a good price and a really quick service, well done

Excellent Food, Great service, would visit again..

Always a warm welcome, from friendly helpful staff, followed by a beautiful hearty meal been going for years and will be going going for many more

Had a great Sunday lunch here , looks very popular with locals and holiday makers . Plenty reserved their tables again for the following week and loads of takeaways ordered and all at a very reasonable price .

Unbelievable service, food and pricing. Would recommend beyond all well known places

Needs updating inside very old fashioned food was nice and good prices

Good location, and an enjoyable pint of Woosh bitter. The downsides were the music being too loud, with bar staff unable to turn it down, so conversation was difficult. Also, the smell of stale chip fat together with other unpleased odours mean that we are unlikely to return, any time soon.

Now as you know I'm a fussy eater, and a ble steak lover, we visited today I ordered the 16oz rum steak blue, I was expecting the usual thick steak not cooked very well, boy its amazing, I never eat the sides but even that was out of this world, the steak was either thinly cut to size or bashed out to size but it filled the plate and from start to finish was cooked perfectly, this is a diamond of a place to find and eat at, if you don't give this place a try you are missing out on fine dining on a budget, in these costly times it's affordable top end food, give it a go you won't be dissapointed I give it 10 out of 10

I love this pub, I've not had food but smells lovely. Nice & Clean with great beer & characters

Brilliant food and drink thank you so much.

Came here on a Sunday and didn't realise the menu would be roasts only so were slightly disappointed that we weren't able to try other stuff on the menu. The prices were very reasonable but the food was just ok. The staff were friendly enough. Very much a locals pub not really the best for out-of-towners

Really nice pub , popped in for a bar lunch whilst in holiday, the pub itself is very nice , the bar lunch was really nice and great value for money, staff where also very helpful, would defo recommend.

Been there this morning one staff very rude the two of us which turned to be manager of the pub definitely a no go area the manager needs to go Ona PR course

The food is fantastic staff very nice good pint of larger cheap aswell

First time we had been there we where told about it by friends not disappointed very reasonable and very friendly staff will be going back.

Lovely food at a low cost & staff were courteous

Excellent food, the biggest Gammon I've ever had.

I found the lunch very tasty and reasonably priced. We all had Sunday lunch and a choice of 4 meats.

Mega mixed grill was lovely, really enjoyed

Good local pub excellent Sunday dinner

Stunning food, amazing service such friendly staff. The food was delicious and I can't believe how cheap it is here and the portion size is massive. Great place. We hadn't booked and were able to walk in but it is very busy so would recommend booking to ensure a place

Simple pub food done well and at a great price. I have been many times

They open at 12 noon, fantastic place to have a meal been there today on the Tuesday they have special offers my wife and myself had a Tuesday mix grill what a meal lovely and freshly cooked 5star plus for the meal staff very friendly plenty of parking outside disable friendly for wheelchair and scooters but it's a popular place I can see why now highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I think they do Sunday lunch but phone first

Very good food friendly staff reasonable priced go there often

Brilliant. Hidden little gem. I came down to the area for a visit for family and discovered this little gem. The food was awesome. We came practically every day. Lunch time is less busy but if you want to go for dinner reserve a table in advance. As it's so packed. Steak will keep me coming back no doubt about it.

Good honest food at a good honest price can't be faulted

A lovely Sunday roast at a very reasonable price. Friendly staff, highly recommend

Good grub and a very reasonable price. Look out for the daily offers

Nice pub. Food is very pub grub, you get what you pay for. Decent meal, good selection of drinks. Staff fairly friendly. Seems more of a locals pub.

Lovely pub in Porthcawl. Food is fantastic and great beers. Highly recommended.

Brilliant excellent food great staff highly recommended 👍

I came here as spur of the moment and I was not disappointed. Food is very fairly priced and large portions. I had small cod and chips and the cod was the length of the plate! Lovely staff and I really enjoyed the atmosphere there. Thank you! :)

Excellent good value for the money

Very poor. Sunday lunch swimming in gravy to hide the fact the meat is probably deli meat. Couldn’t even find mine- veggies absolutely destroyed as well. Scores on the door 3 and flies in the dining room too- in October. It was so busy in there that we had high expectations but definitely disappointing. The only things that’s great about the place was the serving staff who were hard working and very welcoming. The only highlight of our visit.

Friendly staff. Decent food. Difficult to manoeuvre with a pram

Brilliant little pub, the Staff were fantastic, the meal's were delicious

Booked Sunday lunch whilst here for The Elvis Weekend one of the nicest Sunday Roasts I have ever had. We will be definitely booking again, lovely staff friendly atmosphere.

Great service nice pint toilets clean 👌

Visited during Elvis Festival 2022. We had booked a table for food (necessary) - pub was incredibly busy but all staff very cheerful & helpful; regularly reminding punters there was a second bar through the restaurant AND a cash bar outside & BBQ serving food near tent in car park. Although a kind of one-way system had to be maintained, most people followed this easily and efficiently without additional help. Wheelchair access was available. Food excellent & arrived very quickly. Some problems with the EFTPOS card m/c. No WiFi in pub.

Nice friendly staff and a good atmosphere 👌

Fab staff , couldn't do enough for you, stunning food and excellent value for money, definately recommend

Booked a table over 3 weeks so for Sunday lunch, arrived and table only booked for 3 where it was booked for 5. Attitude of owner stinks! No offer of rearranging table etc. Hence we walked out! Yesterday we were actually told by a waitress that we were given a table in the conservatory. Obviously our money and company wasn't good enough. We've visited every year, but never again!

A cracking sunday lunch, was really good

Lovely staff, nothing to much trouble for them. Good selection of meals reasonably priced and brought to your table piping hot.

Delicious food great waitresshappy atmosphere xx

Lovely little seaside pub busy but still very calm and quiet. Lovely food very enjoyable, staff were all friendly and very helpful. Would definately recommend. I will be coming back

I'm afraid to say how great the food is at this pub incase I have a problem getting a table.

Lovely food great price lovely staff 🙂

Staff are brilliant, very polite and helpful. Meals are inexpensive and they are all very tasty. Wonderful value for money. We will soon be returning, so glad to have found the place.

Great local pub, serving fantastic, great value food.

Family visit- great food and I mean really good food at really good prices. Inside is an old style pub but clean and tidy. Little gem! Staff seemed nice and service was quick.

Outstanding - highly recommend Gorgeous food, beautifully presented, beautifully cooked. Extremely reasonable prices. Nice pint. Lovely atmosphere, friendly, welcoming, wished I lived here just so I could use this pub as my local (even if one of the clientele does the splits :) haha)

Honestly amazing food for sure.stopped to have a family bar meal..steak cooked to perfection gammon incredible..kids meals and daily menu amazing...good quality food and very reasonably priced Will 100% recommend Staff helpful friendly

Exalant food. Lovely outside area. Lovely staff.

Lovely sunday dinner, good portions, delicious home made cheesecake. Excellent value for money. Really nice staff. Dog friendly

Nice pub with friendly staff but our food order was a bit hit and miss. 2 16oz rump steaks that should have been medium rare but turned up blue (very rare) and the onion rings went to another table.

Lovely food good value friendly staff

Find the atmosphere great and welcoming staff
