What to know
Food pub vs drink pub
Not every pub in Bridgend serves a full menu every session. Check kitchen times separately from bar hours.
Families and dogs
Policies vary. Coastal and valley pubs often welcome dogs in the bar but not the dining room — ask.
Real ale and lager
We care more about whether the place matches what you want (quiet pint, Sunday roast, live sport) than a scorecard of taps.
