The Farmer’s Arms, lovingly known as ’The Pub on the Pond’, is situated in the gorgeous and friendly village of St Brides Major, which has convenient links to Bridgend County Borough and Cardiff.
The Farmer’s Arms is located near the beaches of Ogmore By Sea and Southerndown, the famous sand dunes of Merthyr Mawr, Candleston Castle and is not far from other tourist hotspots Llanwit Major and Cowbridge. St. Brides is a very wholesome and rural area of the Vale of Glamorgan, with a just over 1000 members in its community.
Located opposite Pool Farm Campsite and two minutes from St. Brides Riding and Trekking School, The Farmer’s Arms has been a long standing establishment in the community starting its life as a working farmhouse. The Pub was most recently refurbished in 2017 and was taken over by its new family, Gareth and Tracey in August 2019.
I stumbled upon this hidden gem on my way to Cardiff Airport—a pub in Wales offering both Turkish and traditional pub food. The sign "mezze" caught my eye, prompting me to stop for lunch. The owner's kindness and friendliness, combined with the inviting atmosphere, made it a delightful surprise. I opted for the Adana kebab, accompanied by complimentary condiments that were absolutely delicious. Already anticipating my next visit!
When you visit there, you have a great time with Turkish and Mediterranean cousin. Also, you can taste delicious brews and get a time modern pub culture there. I absolutely recommend to you visit amazing place. Perfect…
Visited today for my father in law's birthday. 6 of us in total for a walk in meal and drinks. The pub has a lovely cosy country vibe and the Xmas tree set the scene lovely. The service from Eddie was brilliant and we were well looked after and he was such a nice man. The food was of a high standard and cooked perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough we will definitely be back and look forward to more lovely meals. Thanks for a lovely afternoon and see you again
Popped in at the tail end of a pub crawl around establishments under new ownership Sunday evening. That the kitchen was still open, and offering a Mediterranean menu, was a welcome change from Sunday roasts. We were made to feel welcome (despite the cavernous space) and sat in the slightly secluded portion upstairs by ourselves. The portions are large, the flavours absolutely on point, and the prices reasonable—plus the abundance of great warm bread and salads makes it all seem positively healthful. Our mains (lamb ribs, an Iskender plate with a heap of fabulous creamy yoghurt to offset the chunks of bread and the broken-up lamb kofte balls, the hot mezze platter, and a sarma beyti which came with the wrapped meat neatly sliced and prettily arranged) were sensational. The accompanying rice deserves special mention for being delicious. We hope this outfit thrives and we’ll be back for sure.
Beautiful food, which is absolutely outstanding! I have been here a few times. The service is spot on and the staff are so friendly. The restaurant is also very clean and tidy, both the restaurant and bar side. The food literally speaks for itself. Its so fresh with plenty of flavour. One of our go to places to eat now and will definitely keep visiting!
