The Picton in Bridgend

Proper pub, with good service.

Came here for drinks with a big group and the woman behind the bar couldn't crack a smile if she tried. No eye contact. No Hank you. Jesus! What's wrong with you people. I would have given two stars because the guy doing Karaoke was good. But you let it down with your TERRIBLE service!!!!!

Lovely Sunday roast, plenty of food, very good value and friendly staff.

Good beer, and an excellent Open Mic night.

friendly staff Great atmosphere

Local, friendly place with welcoming staff.

Haven't been to the Picton for years, Lovely little pub good atmosphere would definitely go back.

Really big place, nice outside seating/smoking area. Lots of elvis going on today (elvis festival), clean, busy, prices OK.

Inside and outside service of both drinks and a good selection of food and a good, friendly atmosphere.The only little downside is that parking can be problematic.

Didn't enjoy my experience tonight at The Picton.Second time here and it was very disappointing.Last time I visited, we were greeted by a lovely lady. Who made our night even though we couldn't drink in the pub, and only take away! Fab!So tonight, I arrived with my two friends- signed in, handsanitsed, and then ordered our drinks and sat down.While ordering out drinks the bloke behind the bar was very abrupt to my friend about what shots the pub stocked, thought ok no problem, continued to our seats.Outside seating area was well presented and beautiful.Only downside was the depressing music that was being played.I approached the bloke behind the bar, and asked if there's was anyway of changing the genre of songs as it was awfully draining, who which my surprised I was greeted with a very abrupt response of "it's a juke box, its playing random songs".I can't speak for every one in the pub but I, nor my friends didn't like his manner nor his approach to his customers this evening. I witnessed another table walk out and I over heard them mention as it was about his manner and attitude.I physically with my own eyes watched him being rude to another customer when he took his pint back as he asked for a different pint to what he was given, and his reply off the barman was "you pointed to this one not carling", there was no need for his manner nor tone.This wasn't the only incident I witnessed tonight.I'm hoping when and if I return, either the lady is working or the barman has had an attitude change.My stay wasn't long because of this, hopefully next time will be more enjoyable.
