| Can only assume the management reads its reviews & acts accordingly. Had one of the best-ever Sunday Lunches today. Food delivered promptly & hot, generous portions, good range of vegetables, really tasty, beautifully cooked and staff friendly and keen to help. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a visit. Harry28 - 29 Apr 2012 15:25 |
| Total Disappointment!! Have today visited The Pelican with my family for Sunday Lunch. We thought the service was poor,as we waited nearly an hour for our meal. We thought the meals were totally overpriced @ £13.45 each for just a standard Sunday Lunch,(desserts would have been an extra £5.50 each)but to add insult to injury the beef was tough and over cooked,and the veg was pretty tasteless. We complained to our waitress when she came to clear our table and she apologised and finished clearing. We had no offer of any sort of recompence ie Coffee,Desserts or money off our bill which we were totally disgusted with.We did challenge the waitress and were told they wouldnt be offering us any discount as we ate most of our meals !!! I have worked in various pubs in my younger days and good customer care policy means complaints are taken seriously as a bad experience is often heard about by more people than a good experience. This pub is overcharging for poor quality service,poor quality food and even worse staff who dont take any notice of customers. This pub sounds likes its living on a reputation earned years ago so my advice is dont bother wasting your money here to be dissapointed as we have been. If you are looking for a FANTASTIC SUNDAY LUNCH TRY THE GLOBE INN IN GLAIS,SWANSEA. Well worth every penny. Sounds like its about time management woke up and smelt the coffee in this establishment.

| All Pubs are blessed with their "Regulars" who will see / hear no bad reviews about "Their Local". The Pelican is no exception. All Publicans know this. It is also their duty to provide a level of service which ensures visitors may return, or at least reccommend the service to others. The Pelican is blessed with both it's history and geographical position, truly amazing! Unfortunately, these last two things are the only two on offer. In my proffessional capacity I have visited the Pelican and left unimpressed. The Ale is poorly kept, and was tepid and flat on at least two occasions. The food was indeed "Normal Pub Fare", but was very slow in coming, warm but not hot, soggy salads. The Ambiance was ZERO. No one looked happy. One expects to pay a little over the odds, and tip the staff well in such a "Captive Tourist" spot. But the prices were extortionate, the service awfull. Pub, surroundings, history 10/10 What you pay for 2/10 I would hope this review will encourage the Pelican Management to do something. It may be that you do not care " They are only Tourists"? Read this and weep / think..............................I would. End. pubcamera1 - 9 Aug 2011 18:17 |
| Even accepting the price of ale these days, the drinks are a tad expensive. Similarly the food is fairly pricey; however it has to be said it was of extremely good quality. The view of Ogmore castle from the garden as the sun sets is lovely. Children are welcome. shaggoth - 29 Jul 2011 10:54 |
| Not sure about some of the more recent comments concerning this pub. Been many times over the years and never had a bad pint or a bad meal. Prices may appear to be on the high side for "pub fare" particularly when compared to some of the bargain basement "meal deals" being offered elsewhere, but this is justified by the food quality and portion sizes. Meals can be taken in the bar area or the quieter and more formal restaurant, both of which have been recently refurbished. Another important factor is that staff are always friendly and efficient, even when very busy. Excellent location opposite Ogmore Castle and the Stepping Stones to Merthyr Mawr, with one of the region's poshest smoking shelters. As an added bonus, the Pelican is easily accessed thanks to the bus route between Bridgend and Llantwit Major. cflyer - 19 Jul 2011 11:19 |
