The best restaurants serving British food in Porthcawl West Central Bridgend South Wales

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.

Great meal. The Penclawdd cockles, laverbread and bacon bits on bread was delicious. Butchers Faggots and Pea really tasty. Sirloin steak was amazing. Barnsley Chop was very tasty. A good bottle of wine to go with the meal. Reasonably priced. Staff friendly and service good. Worth a visit.

Absolutely stunning food and very cheap large portion and hot fantastic keep up the good work tasty stuff and staff where great to

Absolutely amazing, food was beautiful. The lady that served us , Karen behind the bar us was so lovely and helpful, my elderly mother has Alzheimer’s, and Karen , helped in every way and made the whole experience perfect. I would highly recommend the Royal Oak to all my friends and family. Thank you so much 😊

Drove past this place so many times over the years on the way to Porthcawl.. To celebrate a birthday we went here for a Sunday dinner wow the food was amazing great value and staff was so nice great will be going again

Sad day today as this establishment closes for good. Thanks to Bas...Pauline....Mark and their staff for the service throughout the decades. Large breakast and coffee with toast £8.50.

We attended a 60th birthday party in the waterfront early evening on 0ctober 8th 2024, and what a brilliant event. They had low partitioned off one side of the bar restaurant area and this worked to provide a private area which also benefitted from the lovely atmosphere in the rest of this popular friendly pub. The space was ideal for the 40ish there with a pull down screen showing photos of the party girl, easy access to toilets, a bar and an outside area with sea views. The buffet was excellent, lovely meats hot boiled potatoes, warm tasty bread rolls, especially good coleslaw, king prawns, other sides, cakes and cheeses. The staff were attentive efficient and friendly. Like I said brilliant, and a good time had by all.

Pre booked table for lunch. Friendly greeting from lovey waitress. All COVID secure. Lovely table with sea view. Prices for lunch very reasonable. All six meals excellent, food piping hot. Waitress very efficient and had great sense of humour. Cakes very nice too. Will be going back.
