Tafarn Y Bont

It is with great sadness that we tell you that Paul Haddock, once a regular at the Tafarn when he lived locally, passed away yesterday.

Just to let you all know, the Tafarn won’t be open for lunch service this Friday 2nd November but we will be open as usual for our “Fish Friday” from 5.30pm. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Here’ a photo from the early 70s right here at the pub back when it was called the Bridgend Inn! Let’s hope our own Wild West charity night on the 10th November will see some equally authentic outfits! Out of sheer curiosity, does anyone remember any of the characters on the photo?

A fun packed evening with a Wild West theme - come on all you cowboys, cowgirls and red indians! The sheriff has spoken! Prizes for best dressed, raffle etc. £5 ticket includes a Wild West supper of bangers, beans and mash. Proceeds to “2 Wish Upon a Star” a charity dedicated to bereaved parents with a presentation on the night. Open to all our regulars & visitors alike. Please come along and support this great cause and have a ball doing it!

Introducing our “£5 Bargain Special” every evening from Monday to Thursday 6 to 9pm. This week it’s a mild and creamy Chicken Korma served with Rice and Naan Bread. Plus..... Our Fish Fridays special when you can get 2 of our legendary Fish’n’Chips with mushy peas for £13 is being joined by our Scampi and Chips basket meal - 2 for £12! Tell your friends!!!

Re-introducing LIVE MUSIC on Monday nights commencing 22nd October 2018. Kicking off with Tafarn favourite JIM RAMSEY.

October 9th saw the introduction of our new Autumn menu, and reintroduces a few old favourites such as rib-eye and sirloin steak, Piri Piri Chicken and our authentic Thai Fish Cakes. Just click on the 'menu' link to see it!

Just wanted to take this opportunity to express my thanks to all those who helped make yesterday such a resounding success in every respect - especially all my colleagues from the Travelling Wrinklies and all the performers from the Juke Box Heroes show - and of course the man himself Mr Owen Money MBE! Also my thanks to all my bar-staff who worked so hard throughout the day and evening, and likewise Chris and the staff in the kitchen. A few others I’d like to thank are Andrea, Gina, Beryl and Ray whose assistance was invaluable! Lastly my thanks to all of you who attended making it such a marvellous day. Thank you all. Jerry.

As you can all imagine we’ve had lots of enquiries about whether today’s show is going ahead. The answer is almost certainly yes, though it might be a bit later than the 3.30pm start we had hoped for ... according to the weather forecast the rain should be over by the late afternoon so our hope is we can go ahead but a little later than planned. We will keep you updated as best we can.

A little bit of what we’ve got to look forward to at the Tafarn y Bont on the 26th August!!!

Just a quick reminder to those of you who have booked for Owen Money show in the garden on the 26th - your tickets are now ready to collect from the pub. To those who haven’t booked who would like to come, you will need to be quick as there are very very few remaining!

Welsh tv and radio personality Owen Money and his band the Travelling Wrinklies perform live in the beer garden! (Weather permitting.) The performance will feature guest appearances from many of the stars of Owen’s recent highly acclaimed theatre tour “Juke Box Heroes II” and include tributes to Karen Carpenter (Sammi Broad), Shirley Bassey (Li Harding), Frankie Valli (Alex John), and Neil Sedaka (David Rhys-Morris). Admission is strictly advance booking only. Tickets are £10 and include a basket meal! Demand is high and numbers are necessarily limited so early booking is strongly advised.

Please note that because of a change in chef’s hospital appointments our curry night planned for the 6th May has now been moved to Tuesday 1st May. We apologise for any disappointment but this really was something beyond our control. However the same fantastic bargains are on offer: Start with papadums (2) and dips for just £1.90, then a choice of Chicken Korma, Chicken Jalfrezi, or a Vegetable Tikka Masala served with rice, naan bread and mango chutney - all for just a fiver! Chips can be added for just £1 extra. Demand is expected to be very high so booking is very much recommended. Just pop in or call 01873 830720 to make your reservation.

CURRY NIGHT - chicken korma or jalfrezi served with rice, naan bread and mango chutney for just £5 per head!!!! Plus Rekordalig cider or Coors light lager for an amazing £1.90 a bottle for all diners!

This Wednesday (4th April) it’s the return of our ever popular monthly quiz hosted by Dave Bolton. As always, everyone is welcome to this great fun night. £1 per player, Maximum of 4 players per team!! This Thursday chef is having a well deserved night off - but not before she has prepared a sumptuous batch of authentic curries for us to have a “Curry Club” night. Your choice of a Chicken Korma (mild) or Jalfrezi (medium hot) served with Rice, Naan Bread and Mango Chutney for an amazing £5!!!!! Plus all diners can get a bottle of Rekordalig cider or a bottle of Coors Light for just £1.90. Better value then Wetherspoons!!!

Don’t forget this Wednesday (6th December) it’s our monthly pub quiz hosted by Dave Bolton. Starts around 8pm, all welcome. Just a reminder about our slightly adjusted winter opening hours in case you hadn’t heard - Thursdays are now the same as Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays when we are open from 5.30pm. Fridays are now the same as Saturdays and Sundays when we are open all days from noon! Christmas holiday opening will be announced in next few days.

Hi all! Please note our new Autumn opening hours kick in from today: Mondays to Wednesdays - open from 5.30pm (kitchen open 6-9pm) Thursdays & Fridays - open 12.30 - 2.30 & from 5.30pm (kitchen open 12.30 to 2pm and 6-9pm) Saturdays and Sundays - open all day from noon (kitchen open 12-2.30 & 6-9pm) Last orders for food 15mins before kitchen closes....

Lovely friendly pub, food was excellent

Lovely little find after detouring from our canal walk with dogs. Will definitely be back, hopefully for Thai night!

Excellent lunch,very friendly,lovely and warm,was a bit chilly outside.

A couple of travelling Aussies, we happened on this place on Sunday 23/4. What a find? Our first stop in Wales and we find this gem. Service was fantastic, Sunday roast pork was sensational and atmosphere wonderful.

We had been in a few days before to have a meal as we've been touring around the area we all had a different selection of meals, but I can really recommend the pulled pork salad it was gorgeous
