Set in Bryngarw House, the award-winning Harlequin Restaurant overlooks 113 acres of magnificent country parkland and is the perfect location for enjoying special occasions, evening meals and a top-notch Sunday lunch.

The Harlequin Restaurant is the venue of choice for guests wanting to sample fresh, local produce and an extensive wine list in a professional and welcoming atmosphere. As menus change daily, all dishes are imaginatively put together and guaranteed to tantalise your tastebuds. Why not begin with seared scallops with a shallot and thyme purée and crispy bacon, followed by sirloin of beef on a horseradish potato bake with parsnip purée, or wild mushroom and tarragon ravioli served with Madeira cream and truffle oil; then round things off with one of The Harlequin’s delectable desserts. Be sure to book ahead – especially for evening meals – as the restaurant is, understandably, very popular.

Bryngarw House – a Bridgend County Borough Council owned venue – offers a function room for up to 120 people, individually decorated en-suite bedrooms for those who cannot bear to leave straight away, and conference and banqueting facilities; it is also licensed to hold weddings and civil ceremonies.
