The Pheasant - Bridgend

What a fantastic place! First impressions really matter, and this one did not disappoint. Upon entering, we were greeted by a large water dispenser on a vintage wooden cabinet, and shelves stocked with water bowls and dog blankets. There were three of these setups around the pub, and I must admit, it made me want to "borrow" a dog just to take advantage of the thoughtful amenities! The staff clearly wanted to make sure every member of the family, pets included, felt welcome. We returned for a meal the next evening, and the food was outstanding. We've realized we hold high expectations when dining out, but the quality here met those standards. If you find yourself in the area, I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely fantastic! The roast lunch was delicious and perfectly cooked. The mixed roast was exceptional! Everything was incredibly tasty, and the gravy and vegetables were spot on, paired with a lovely bottle of wine. I will definitely make a reservation again!

Totally perfect. We sat outdoors to enjoy the sunshine under a parasol. We brought our dog who enjoyed a run around the field just next to the pub. Our 5year old boy played in the play area and made friends with the other children. They all had a great time and we could see them at all times so was completely safe allowing us chance to relax. Food was amazing!… all our meals were delicious and the wine I had with my meal was the best I’ve had! We’ll be back for definite!

Fantastic location and wonderful establishment. Food let it down slightly but overall really enjoyable experience.

I visited this restaurant for a birthday party and ordered the four chicken dippers. Although they were supposed to be crispy, they looked and tasted burnt, as if they had been scorched by a flamethrower. Surprisingly, I only received three chicken dippers and a chicken nugget instead of four. The fries were decent, but the beans served alongside were incredibly dry and tasted bad. A companion at my table ordered the sausages and mash but barely received more than a teaspoon of it—no exaggeration! A few others at our table had plates with just three or four peas, and nobody else was served peas. While the service was good and parking was convenient, the food was absolutely disappointing.
