It’s all change at THE CHERRY LAUREL pub in Bridgend which has a new look, having undergoing a £135,000 investment into its refurbishment. It’s the opening weekend and guests are already having a look inside and sampling the new menu.

Situated on the edge of the busy Bridgend Industrial Estate, The Cherry Laurel, formerly known as The Pied Piper, has a ‘traditional cosy pub’ feel and a large beer garden. The pub is ideally situated for a pit-stop on a visit to the nearby shopping park.

We went along for a first-look at the refurbished pub and to chat to General manager PHIL WHELAND………
