The Bay in Bridgend

Loved my meal here. Nice friendly/polite staff. Nice decor/environment and crucially the food was fantastic. Really high quality tapas food. Great quality of ingredients. Nice sized portions vs cost meant that you could pick a good selection of choices. Everything I tried was delicious! Selection of meat, cheese, fish and vegetarian options. Decent drinks menu too! Highly recommended!

Food overall was very good, especially enjoyed the Croquetas, Crab tostadas, chicken livers, pan Con tomate, fried Hake and the Morcilla.Service was friendly and atmosphere good.Some of the best food you'll get in Bridgend Town centre

Great cocktails. Lovely food and good value. Pretty setting and staff were lovely

Great atmosphere, amazing food! Wasn't expecting each dish to be so generous, overall great value. Went for 6 choices, plus drinks and chips for under £50. Would recommend

Randomly stumbled on this place looking for some lunch while passing through, and rather pleasantly surprised compared to what seemed to be rather depressing other options. We were quite underdressed compared to everyone else who was out for a Good Friday meal. Service was a little slow but they were clearly understaffed and busy, so no blame on them. Food was good, with plenty of choice of tapas options as you'd expect.

Amazing tapas food and cocktails! Try the lamb meatballs they are amazing 😍

Had a great meal, staff team were excellent and very attentive even though they were very busy. Food was excellent and everyone in our party enjoyed. five stars!! Thanks La Cocina we'll definitely be back soon

Absolutely amazing experience! Food was very nice, fresh, well seasoned, beautifully presented, exceptional I would say. My husband has gluten allergy so we are always nervous when dining out. They have GF options marked in the menu (reassuring from the start) and there are loads to choose from. Some dishes can be adapted to be gluten free. Amazing attitude by the staff towards the allergy issues. Checked and double checked with the chef to make sure everything my husband ordered was gluten free and it was! Thank you!

Upon arrival it looked promising, a very interesting menu, aswell as the tapas classics. However 2 of the 6 dishes we ordered were very disappointing, and not as described on the menu and nothing like the photos we’ve seen.For example, the Pan fried gambas, with chilli, garlic, lemon & olive oil. Usually with pan fried prawns they arrive in the oil they were cooked in with chill, garlic etc. However ours were boiled prawns in a watery broth, more like a seafood soup. The prawns had not been in a frying pan.Secondly, the grilled flatiron steak with balsamic, garlic and red wine jus. All the pictures of the steak had been served medium rare and quite a generous portion. We assumed it would be similar as we weren’t asked how we’d like it cooked. Ours came very well done. Also it was about half the amount of steak as the pictures displayed on Google. Spaced out on the plate with salad covering the steak. Also worst of all, the steak had a hair on it.To conclude, in fairness, the other 4 dishes were really nice and fast to arrive at the table. We weren’t given a check back so we weren’t able to highlight the faults to give them the opportunity to put right. So that did let the experience down. A 2/5 for service and 3/5 for food.

1st time visiting the new location, service, the food was beautifully presented and ever so tasty, top cocktails too, the only thing that let it down was the plastic plants everywhere just awful, so easy to keep succulents and more attractive and beneficial for the environment and public..
