Polite staff, reasonably priced & dogs welcome.

Alas they had run out of flakes for my wife's pint of lager 🤣

Was staying at Trecco bay but the bars there are full of kids so came here a few times for a peaceful drink as its only a 5 minute walk from the holiday park.

Welcoming pub with a good variety of beers on tap. Also welcoming to dogs too. More of a locals pub, also has a darts team, but equally welcoming to non locals too, so recommended if you are staying a Trecco Bay.

On the day we visited there was only basic food available, the fish, scampi, burgers were cooked from frozen. There was no healthy or salad options available. If we were to go here again I would hope there would be a better variety of choice. Having said that, what we had was nice and they were 'real' chips.

Really pleasantly surprised with this dog friendly pub and a welcoming real fire, just the thing as it had started raining and was getting colder.
The prices were reasonable and the service excellent 👏.

We went back in this lunchtime after a lovely lunch there 2 months ago. We went in just after 12 and had a nod from one of the staff. I chose the same table as last time, by the fire, but found a black work diary on one table, a duster/dishcloth on the floor, a cigarette on the other table and a empty cigarette packet top left on the seat.
We sat down, I moved all the things onto the other table and waited for one of the women to come over. One of them did come walking towards us but turned the television on and put the volume up to a very high level. My husband wears hearing aids so the loud music was even worse for him. He suggested we move to another table, but I said let's just wait to see how long it takes to be served. We waited for someone to take our drinks order. We waited for quite a while, no one came over. Then the alarm went off. That was the last straw, we started to get up. One of the women said that it was alright it was just that the alarm hadn't been turned off from last night. We just put on our coats, got our dog from under the table and left. We were hoping for the fire to be lit, like our last visit, it was colder and two months later, so a warm, welcoming fire would have been lovely.
It was terrible service, I don't even know if they noticed we had left. I would have thought in the present climate customers would be welcomed with opened arms not ignored.

Dog friendly. All call in for a pint and a fish finger sandwiche after walking dog on the beach. Weather has always been good so always sat outside.

After a walk on the beach, decided to stop off for a drink at this dog friendly pub. Made to feel welcome. Had a cracking log fire, friendly staff and a nice range of beers. Our “quick pint” turned into several rounds as the atmosphere was so relaxing. Would visit this pub again when we’re staying locally next time. Five star recommendation from me.

Just called in for a quick pint before a walk into Porthcawl.
Nice choice of ales and ciders.
Reasonably priced too. Table service and friendly staff make this a lovely watering hole. Probably have food this weekend looking at the menu.
