We had a family Sunday lunch here Sept 2024. Food was very nice , starters were a little small for the price but tasty. The roast was fantastic and plenty of veg for everyone . I don't like being negetive on reviews but I would say in the nicest possible way that the staff that served our table hadn't had a lot of experience or training which is down to the manager /employer. But they were lovely girls and nothing was to much trouble. 1 thing that I was a bit disappointed in was the waiter that brought the veg to the table was actually chewing food while putting our veg on the table . Was not really impressed with that but over all food made up for it . Price was good to . Toilets could do with a little attention .

Food was outstanding and the young lady behind the bar was extremely polite and courteous, I don't understand the bad reviews, the food was exceptional, extremely tasty and excellent portion size at a reasonable price. The chef obviously knows what he is doing.

If like me, you have read the negative reviews on the Black Ox and thought that most of them are from competition or just disgruntled, please take heed of this review. Two weeks ago I booked the Black Ox for a birthday lunch on Sunday 07/07/2024, asked if it would be OK to bring a birthday cake etc. I was assured that everything was booked and would be fine. In total we were going to be a group of 12 which actually became 14. Three travelled from Pembrokeshire (Goodwick and Spital) three travelled from Brynamman and two travelled from Bridgend. I tried calling the Black Ox as from 10am on the 7th, just to confirm that everything was ok and to inform them that we would now be 14 and not 12. I finally got an answer at 12.05pm only to be informed that the kitchen was closed and that they would NOT be doing our Sunday lunch!! They maintained that they had my mobile number from when I originally made the booking, and that they had tried to inform me on Thursday about the situation, but that they had failed to get hold of me???? Uh come on now, lets think long and hard here. Even if I had not answered my telephone, I do like everyone else have a facility called voice mail on my phone. Thank goodness with extremely short notice, as this was a surprise birthday lunch and we had all arranged to meet by 12.30 @ The Black Ox, we managed all 14 of us to have a wonderful family time at our local pub/restaurant in LLanddarog. Thank goodness there are people around who know how to run business.

Food resembles microwave meals available in petrol stations. Also called 3 times before we actually got to eat there and the place was closed. They seem to be open when they feel like it! Frozen Chips. Miserable staff. Never again!

After spending a lovely time on the Gwili heritage railway we were looking for Sunday lunch and found this lovely pub. Was very surprised how quiet it was in there. Was going to eat outside but found it very uninspiring and needs a rethink but that is the only gripe. Hubby who usually hates carvery due to the wafer thin short measure meat, was very happy with the size of the meat portion here. Help yourself to the ample variety of vegetables and it made for a really lovely Sunday roast. The staff were so friendly.

We came to the Black Ox to meet with friends for Sunday Lunch. We chose it as they were dog friendly. The staff were amazing, they really looked after us and made a big fuss of the dogs. The Sunday Lunch carvery was superb, a great selection of Meat and sides. Will definitely visit again in the future!

Booked for Christmas dinner, tables not laid out nicely, no crackers, waited over 30 mins for starters and another 45 mins before mains arrived. Half the vegetables were on the plate and the rest in tureens. Had to ask for serving spoons. Food was cold, stuffing a hard ball, cauliflower still raw, some vegetables were mushy. Asked for spoons for dessert and waitress dumps a load of spoons next to one person to distribute. Two of the spoons were teaspoons. The place itself is cold in temperature and ambience. Food was cold. Serving staff need training.

This is a traditional pub / restaurant on the main street of a Welsh village near Carmarthen. When we visited it was very quiet, but the hospitality was warm and genuine, the menu was much reduced from that shown on the internet, but the food available was very tasty, well prepared, good portion size and well presented, and the price was very reasonable. Drink prices are again very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and professional. There is not that much parking available except on the quiet main street. We were only here once on holiday for an evening meal and this is a great wee place it just needs more customers, if you are in the area do visit you will probably be surprised and not disappointing

It's a bit off the beaten track. An old pub with what must have been, before covid, a decent restaurant. It now stands a bit lost and though not run down, feels like it needs some TLC and some fresh customers. It's lacking a bit of pizzazz and the menu has been cut right back, see photographs. But the staff are friendly and trying their best with a hard location. It pulls a decent pint, it is comfortable and from a very cut-back menu, see photographs, the food is good. The staff are doing a great job. So if your in the area, pop in, sit down and enjoy some good pub grub. Well done the whole team running this pub restaurant and doing a great job in the place, you are doing good job 👍🏻.

I booked a table for tonight for 6 of us to celebrate a 60th birthday. The menu that is available to view on the website was not what we were presented with. The menu on the website offered lasagne, fish and seasonal pie but none of these were on the menu. Everyone in the party was disappointed as they had decided beforehand what they were going to order. We had to then select from what was available which wasn’t to everyone’s taste. Very disappointing

The food was presented well enough, but nothing like the photo's depicting the dishes. Whilst being handed the menu's, we were told "we haven't got this, there's no pizza's and none of that either". The cutlery was just left on the far end of the table and no condiments were provided either. I know it's a pub and they're updating their menu's but we did expect an experience that was a bit more 'put together' 👍

Sunday dinner was delicious. We were the last table of the table and so they had run out of any starters and had no other choice but chicken but it didn't matter as portions are big and we were all happy to eat chicken rather than the beef ordered. Next time we will arrive earlier 😊 Bar and waiting staff were lovely and friendly

Lovely food with a good variety. Dog friendly - you can have the restaurant menu but do have to sit in the bar but there is not a lot of difference. Staff very attentive and made sure we were well cared for. Deserts could have been more exciting but the starters and mains made up for it. We will be back!

Disappointed - to start the menu’s given were different. Ordered a burger and it was literally a cheap dry bun with a burnt bacon and handful of chips. No side salad or onion rings. The fork on the table was very dirty. we were very excited as we had heard a few good reviews about the place - won’t be returning unfortunately. Despite this, the waitress was very lovely.

This is a fair review and no criticism to the chef, average experience, (attention to detail lacking) but nice meal and perfectly cooked rump steak. I ordered Rump Steak and triple cooked chips, I noticed there was no salad or peas on the menu to accompany this, I ordered broccoli which was an extra side, however they did not have any available. but they were actually able to provide peas when we asked (they could have offered these as an alternative). My meal arrived, the chips were standard, not the triple cooked ones which I had expected and was so looking forward to (disappointing) a very small bowl of peas arrived not really enough for the 3 people it was for, my plate ended up swimming in water as there was no serving spoon, I tipped the bowl of peas to serve, unfortunately they hadn't been drained I hadn't seen the water underneath. Putting this experience aside, The rump steak was lovely and cooked perfectly, medium rare, the Merlot, was nice and good value for money.

Our family group had an enjoyable Sunday roast here, prior to going on the nearby Gwili steam railway. Portion sizes were generous and the price was fair. However, the place was quite busy and this resulted in the service being a bit erratic. Unfortunately , though, the main reason for not giving top marks is due to the wooden seats not having cushions and, therefore, being hard and uncomfortable. A shame really as it took the edge of what was, otherwise, an enjoyable family lunch.

There is a limited Sunday menu - slow cooked beef with Yorkshire pudding or chicken with stuffing. We went with the beef which was tender and tasty. It was accompanied by lots of veg. Would recommend. On another note, the website asks you to book and seems to allow you to book online, but there is no reply using the online form on the website or using the email. So just phone them up.

Excellent slow cooked beef with a large Yorkshire pudding and an assortment of vegetables, including carrot, parsnip, green peas, cauliflower cheese, roast potato, mash potato and suede. The beef was tasty, succulent and very tender - cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and service was fast and efficient. The pub was warm and cosy. The starter of Brie bites with spicy sauce was also very tasty.

We were really disappointed with our meal, and on hindsight I’m sorry I did not query the weight of my steak and the gammon, on the menu it states 300 grams (10 oz) No way were either meats that weight, raw or cooked. The place was very cold, which made eating uncomfortable. All I can say is that I don’t think we will be eating there again,

Went to the Black Ox for Sunday lunch. The food was good, but not great, the portion sizes were very good, with excellent beef, but mediocre veg. The mash was unpleasant and the roasties could weren't crispy. The staff were lovely and we received good service, although having to queue at the bar (you can't pay at the table) to pay the bill spoilt the experience a bit for me. The chairs in the restaurant are really hard and uncomfortable. The meal was very reasonably priced at £16 for 2 courses or £18 for 3 courses.

Cooked to perfection and the red wine jus was the perfect sauce to go with it. Unfortunately we were too full for pudding but we will definitely be returning to sample one next time.

Well worth over 5 stars. Being an extremely fussy steak eater its extremely difficult to find a place that does their steak to perfection. This is one of very few places that got their steak cooked absolutely perfect. The flavouring on absolutely everything that came with it was perfect!! It was like an explosion of flavours in your mouth. This place made my valentines absolutely perfect! Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this place. The staff here are so polite, welcoming and friendly too which tops it off! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE OUR NIGHT SO SPECIAL! .

Well, what a disappointment. On arriving, I was given a filthy glass for my drink, so I asked for a clean one. They didn’t have basics such as alcohol free lager or grapefruit juice. Another drink ordered was incorrect, so had to be changed, and despite there being Tribute mats on the bar, they didn’t serve it. Having pre-ordered food for our party, some meals were so late in arriving that the rest of the group had finished. They’d obviously been totally forgotten as when they did finally arrive, they were cold in the middle. We sent it back and two of us cancelled the food because it was too late and I’d quite frankly, lost my appetite. The staff were apologetic and offered us free desserts but it was too late really. There was also an 18th birthday party going so lots of 18 (we hope) year olds being loud and drunken. Came home hungry and wondering what a ‘gastro pub’ (as it was advertised) in this neck of the woods actually means. Not happy and won’t return, sorry.

What can I say. But omg this is the tastiest afternoon tea I have ever had. The Bench. Well you get cottage pie, chicken pie, chips in a basket with battered sausage on top. A large Yorkshire pudding pilled with mash potato a small sausages in. Curry sauce, gravy. Then on the lower half you got your treats, you have all small treats to die for but I saved my favourite till last which was the mouth watering apple and cinnamon crumble.

Called in for lunch with my husband. Lovely home cooked meal. Portions were quite big and served quite swiftly. Homemade chips
