Came here last Thursday (05/06/25) never been before but will definitely come again. Wasn't sure if I needed to make a reservation but I did anyway on the Tuesday. Lady on the phone was very friendly so that was a good start. Turned up on the Thursday to be welcomed by a lovely, friendly woman (think her name is Jo but not sure) who showed us to our table. We had our drinks ordered and delivered and food ordered within 2-3 mins and had the food delivered in less than 10mins. The food portion sizes were massive and delicious, the photos don't do the portion sizes justice. From that original phone call all the way through to paying, everything was brilliant. Will 100% be back, might even make the 30 min drive on my birthday just for a meal.
Can not thank the staff enough. We were on the paddle steamer and only had an hour in Porthcawl. We booked our table and then had to change the time last minute as the paddle steamer was running late. We arrived and our orders were immediately taken so that we could eat and be on our way. We highly recommend and want to say a massive thank you for the service and the delicious roast.
I am not afraid to say it, I basically have 4 daddies... As up and coming member of the daddy club (even with my poor excuse of facial hair) this ticks all the boxes you would want as a dad. Beers, plentiful of food, great portions and fantastic drinks. People might say I have daddy issues but let's change that mindset. I only have daddy solutions and this restaurant should solve all your problems, daddy recommends.

Great location and very good service. Though it is not a sunny day, we still enjoy strolling in the little town and having a good meal in the Saltwater Inn, with a kind arrangement on sitting by the window.
