| I can only add to what Balam says. This charming old pink-and-grey stone pub sits in an elevated position overlooking the beautiful dunes, the Kenfig Lake, and the sea beyond. Tables are set outside on the lane, and the minor inconvenience to the occasional vehicle is more than offset by the general public benefit. There is a fairly spacious car park across that lane, and a grassy area around it with further tables, where one can take in the marvellous views whilst enjoying a top-notch pint. It is a free house, but sports Bass and Worthington as regulars, poured by gravity from casks on what seem to be ancient, sturdy stone shelves made for that purpose. It's hard to commend it highly enough, and I think that the rating is suspect. It gets nine out of ten from me. eddybeer - 29 Aug 2016 17:00 |
| This fantastic pub serves great food, It is an old pub and dates from around the 15th century. Previously called Ty Newydd (New House) Tavern, yet renamed in its present form during the late 18th century in honour of George, Prince of Wales, who was crowned George IV in 1820. It has been rebuilt over the years with the original Inn facing east and overlooking the old highway - Y Lane Fach (The Little Lane) around the year 1602. Sometimes also called 'The Corporation' the Inn was rebuilt in 1808 with its first floor room remaining of significant historical importance within the Borough. It has been used as the Town Hall when the sand encroached and covered the old village. Oak beams and a real open fire really make this pub feel great and the food was just fantastic. I had North Sea Cod with chips and mushy peas and it was MASSIVE, I was absolutely stuffed. The fish was just right and delicious. I would love to go here again. The pub has a lot of information about shipwrecks in the local area and a lot about local history. At the side of the car park there is a monument to all that have been lost at sea off the South Wales Coast. Balam - 20 Oct 2009 22:12 |
