So, living just around the corner from this beautiful Inn and not having visited since it was taken over by hew Management, I was quite dubious about booking here for our 'girls' catch up! We only manage to arrange two or maybe three times a year so always go somewhere in Porthcawl, where the majority of us live.From my initial contact, via email, nothing was too much for the wonderful staff of The Angel. So accommodating and friendly - when we arrived we were greeted by 2 really smiley young ladies and taken to our table. One of our party had to cancel last minute but this wasn't an issue at all. Initially 2 of us were there waiting for 2 more, and our Server, Ruby, was attentive to our needs (which are quite specific when it comes to ordering our drinks - and that's just to start).So she had great knowledge when we asked about which lager was on draft, especially describing and comparing one type we hadn't heard of before and getting it spot on! Then the Wine List and to say we were faffing about which to order would be an understatement) but Ruby asked us a few specific questions about what type of wine we like and brought us a stunning bottle of red. We were really impressed with the quality, it was delicious and we were surprised to find out it was The House Red!Our other 2 friends arrived and because we hadn't seen each other for over 6 months we had so much to catch up on and all the staff were brilliant when they came to take our orders and we hadn't even looked at the menu! Giving us more time.Anyway, the food was delicious, the lamb with minted gravy was the best I've ever tasted and the staff were so great with each of our specific requests (getting a lush Yorkshire pud and stuffing with the lamb and a yorkie with all the dinners even though none were beef). The dessets were amazing and yet again the kitchen catered to all of our individual whims!A massive thank you to Ruby and all the staff who looked after us - we will be back for our next 'girls' lunch (sorry lol!!!!)

Rang to book a table on a Saturday evening for 4 people about 3 weeks ago only to be told that the kitchen closes at 8pm ! Pity , because on previous visits we've had enjoyable meals here. Had to book elsewhere. Why close the kitchen so early during peak trading periods?

Lovely food, excellent service, welcoming friendly staff. One of my favourite places to eat.
We were in the bar purchasing drinks. The lady shouted down that they would be with us in 5 minutes. She came down and served us fine. Went to the bar a second time and pushed the bell for service (as sign posted). The lady shouted down we’re to busy you’ll have to come to the restaurant part. The two bar ladies, were talking. I waited and the one came in and stood by the pumps (one of which I wanted two pints) and said you have to come through to the other bar, we’re busy. I replied that I only wanted two pints. She said you’ll have to come around. Now we we were cycling and in our gear and she wanted us to walk through the restaurant. Terrible and lazy service. We walked out.

Disappointed with my recent experience at The Angel pub in Mawdlam. Booked a table for 12 people weeks in advance, only to find out tonight when I rang to confirm food choices, that if one person ordered from the Christmas menu, everyone else on the table had to also...even though the standard menu was also being served that night. Apparently, we could order differently if we sat at separate tables.?? Talk about lack of business acumen! ?Such a shame as we were really looking forward to our family get-together. Hoping this feedback reaches the owners and they reconsider their policies.#CustomerMatter#CustomerService #RestaurantExperience
