Cresselly Arms, in Carmarthenshire

We met the owner during the week and as a result of his recommendation visited their burger van Friday evening to have their homemade fish and chips.. so good. We then visited Sunday to try the Sunday lunch.. spectacular! All homemade to perfection, tasty and generously portioned it was delightful! We absolutely loved every element.The veggie option was a treat and not the run of the mill usual option you get. What a great place will be back every week!

Absolutely shocking. Roast potatoes were rock solid and two tiny ones(maybe they were bigger before they dried out?) Mushroom pithivier was flat and deconstructed, looked like someone just put a pastry lid ontop of some mushrooms. We asked if they did kids meals and was told yes 👍 then when we came to pay the bill they were charged as adults at 20 per head for half the size plate of food and one scoop of ice cream! Over 40 pound for a 4yr old and 6yr old to eat!!!! RIDICULOUS if we had known that we could have just ordered them as full size meals and had actual dessert. Basically charged 8 quid for a scoop of ice cream!!! Surprised I manged to write this with no swear words it was that sh....bad

We had the most amazing Sunday lunch here. There was so much food we struggled to finish it. The hosts Meg and Gwyn were so welcoming. I would definitely recommend eating here and we will be going again

Not a great experience, big sign on the front of the pub “food served all day 7 days” It’s not. Apparently the signs years old and they haven’t taken it down!? Beautiful location by the river but the kids play area needs some TLC, rotten loose steps up a slide and broken swing. The guy behind the bar was friendly enough and a good drink selection but still disappointed and hungry. Won’t be back anytime soon sorry.

Would highly recommend the pub and burger van.Its run bye a great couple Gwyn & Meg who will give you a very warm welcome.The food is all locally sourced which means a lot.You will leave here very full and sore ribs from laughing.Keep up the great work guys.

Staff were very friendly. Burger van food was tasty . Beer was good, they even sell gluten free beer 😁. Garden is lovely, plenty of benches , beautiful river, toys for the kids and when my family go in the bar lady signs to my deaf five year old asking him what he wants. Not many places go to such efforts ❤️ recommend

What a lovely little local pub, lovely terrace on the river in the large beer garden the kids loved playing in the little park play area. The Madrid was a excellent punt and the Guinness was also excellent

10/10 would reccomend to a friend, good pub, good beer,great food in the burger van outside ! Staff are the friendliest - good crack

We had lunch here on the terrace overlooking the river. There was plenty of choice and the food was well cooked and tasty. Later in the week we had a takeaway and were very satisfied that the quality was maintained and the food stayed hot.

The pub is in a nice Riverside setting and we were seated in a marquee by the river. Social distancing and Covid hygiene rules were being properly observed. We went for Sunday lunch. I guess they must be operating a limited menu due to Covid-19?? This wasn't made clear on the website or at time of booking, though. There were only 3 main course options (1 vegetarian). The food was very disappointing. 1 slice of meat. Watery gravy. 1 roast potato - and it was chewy and disgusting. Bland veg. Soggy Yorkshire pud. (The stuffing was nice though!!!)The service was ok and setting pleasant but we were so disappointed by the food (it was our 7th wedding anniversary). Still hungry after main course, but did not stop for pudding!!

We had a meal and drink on friday afternoon here, we thought it was really good. Service was quick, food was lovely, we understand it was a reduced menu, but it was cooked perfectly

We were more than disappointed with a recent visit we had for a lunch booking.The only plus & positive review was the setting. So picturesque adjacent to the river.However, that sadly was the only positive I can comment on.I totally understand we are amidst a totally horrendous pandemic, but having had a few pub lunches, where safety was paramount , but customer service wasnt compromised...The Cresselly Arms fell flat.on its face.The service was slow/ apathetic.Takeaway memu only. The food was just AWFUL. Straight from a frozen.packet& not even the chips were cooked.nicely.To top everything off..absolutely everything was PLASTIC !!.Plastic glasses/ Cutlery/ Condiments & food served in polystyrene containers. So much for the.planet & supporting an eco friendly sustainable business.All the Plastic waste given to us we hadnto dispose of.1st visit & woukd NEVER go againThey should be ashamed they are not thinking of our environmentAvoid at All Costs

Absolutely delicious and only £5 per head. Even had enough veg with my steak later in the week. Loved the Yorkshire puds with cranberry and stuffing

We went here for lunch today and sat by the window overlooking the flooded Cothi river which was both magnificent and terrifying in equal measure! I had home made steak pie which had real pasty all around it not one of those stupid ‘hats’ of pastry that is the norm now which was delicious and hubby had the faggots, again delicious. He also had the lemon meringue pie which was really tasty. Will definitely go there again and highly recommend.

Popped in midweek for dinner. Not very busy but more people came in on their way home from work. They have a £2.50 happy hour special. The dining room has comfy chairs which is nice as so many places don't these days. I had the mixed grill which was a daily special £2 off usual price. It is a plate full of meats. Everything was hot. It was my error I should have asked for the meats to be a little crispier. I was thinking of going back another day but you had to phone to find out what were the daily special instead of posting on their Facebook page.

Excellent meal of hake fish at a reasonable price, pleasant staff. Worth a visit to this country pub. Reserve a seat overlooking the River Cothi. Support your local pub✅

Having driven past this pub/restaurant many times for some reason it never appealed as a destination, so when all other options were either booked or on holiday I (and group of 5) booked a table.What a treat. Doesn't look much from the outside but the restaurant is lower floor from the pub side and right next to the River Cothi. Gorgeous location with decking areas next to river which must be fab in warmer months.We had a lovely warm welcome and enjoyed an excellent Sunday Dinner which was generous and reasonably priced £10 1 course..£12 2 courses..£14 3 courses with discounts for children and OAP's. The quality of food and service was excellent and I would definitely return.

As we are shortly moving into the area we took my sister and mum for lunch at what will be our local. Lovely spot, nice clean restaurant, pleasant staff and good food, thank you.

It’s a nice pub with a view of the river. Had the burger which was a thick beef patty with cheese and accompanying peas and chips. May have been better with a little additional sauce on the burger, but was overall ok. The other family members enjoyed the steak and fish and chips. Would likely return.

Excellent beer battered fish and chips. The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. Service was great and we sat next to a window with the river flowing past. The ambience was warm and cosy.

We met up with family who were in the area on holiday. We hadn’t booked but it wasn’t a problem. We received a warm welcome from the young man working that day and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant area is lovely and spacious. The meals arrived quickly are were delicious. My dessert was amazing. We will be back.

Car park empty on a Thursday evening, waited by the bar for a few minutes to be served, pub empty, bar staff friendly, asked if they were serving food... They were, great.Shown to the restaurant, which was empty, and given a menu, ordered crispy pork crackling with apple and ginger dipping sauce and creamy garlic mushrooms on sour dough toast..... The bowl of half a packet of pork scratchings from behind the bar accompanied by a small pot of potted apple sauce... And the bowl of garlicky mushroom soup on two slices of white bread which arrived caused no end of hilarity!!! I have never been so disappointed and laughed so much!!!! It was like the best edits of Faulty Towers!! For mains we ordered the lasagne and Welsh chicken, the meals both had lovely side salad, home cooked chips??? Hmm, the lasagne was tasty but very stodgy, the Welsh chicken was in all fairness very nice, mushrooms, leeks and bacon sauce, the chicken breast was very tender, as a side dish we ordered garlic bread, again, left scratching our heads on this one, a small baguette, cut into quarters but bizarrely hollowed out, no bread!!! The hollowed out shells of baguette were covered in a lovely garlic butter but no bread!!! Children back and forth between the restaurant and kitchen/bar, a bit like eating your evening meal in a kids club. Staff friendly and attentive, picked up a nice print of Tenby for a tenner. Would we return, no. Sounded great but sadly didn't deliver. Had a great laugh at the starter, worth what we paid for that.

We decided last minute to go for Sunday lunch and tried two local options without any notice, no chance sorry! Rang the Cresselly Arms, they said no problem because they were serving all afternoon so arrived at 14:30. Great welcome, accommodating staff and a great choice. When it came it we were really impressed, large portions, fresh produce and really good gravey and as much as we wanted. Sweet was just as impressive all services with a smile and attention. Superb!!!

Decided to visit a place we hadn't been to in a while and wasn't disappointed. Homemade chips, homemade chicken meal everything lovely and hot. Lovely friendly staff with quick service. Only slight criticism, could have put on the heating.

Restaurant has a nice outlook over the river (look out for the kingfisher). The menu offers a good choice of food.

Looking for a place to eat, is not easy around here. I get its not well populated and opening hours vary dramatically, found a lovely pub restaurant on Sunday that only opens Sunday lunch times! So when we found this we were happy. Great setting, lovely service and food was well worth it. We had a Hake special, Garlic bread, Faggots and pint of Stella and a nice wine all for £29.

Went on a Monday night for food, but restaurant inside was being used for bingo did get a table in bar rather than sitting outside. Service was OK as it was very busy and locals were being served at the side of bar. Ordered burger, if you like your meat undercooked you'd be fine. The chef did apologise and offered a drink. When paying for the bill, no deduction from the bill even though free drink hadn't been taken. The food was a decent portion but not for the money... 2 cheese burgers and two pints of diet Coke was £34!! Won't be back as it seemed a bit haphazard.

Had simple lunch of fish and chips. Mediocre fish undercooked chips. When I asked for an alcohol free larger was offered ginger beer. Asked for a mineral water instead and was offered soda water. Nice enough barman but no idea. Waste of a potentially lovely venue.

My partner and I called in here last night for dinner. We placed our order and sat waiting with our drinks, and we waited and waited and waited. An hour ticked, I went o ask where our food was only to be told that they had lost our order. How can you lose an order??? They did refund us for the food but what a disappointment for such a lovely looking place. We certainly won't be going back there in a hurry.

Went with friends for an evening meal excellent service well kept beer and the setting alongside the river was delightful. Three of the starters were well presented but my wife had hardly any mushrooms in the garlic mushroom starter she had. The situation was however redeemed with four excellent rib eye steaks. We enjoyed our evening and will not hesitate to call again.

Good food, good choice of beers and a lovely beer garden for the kids. I think its a family run pub, as they were very friendly.

Been visiting the Cresselly several times since it reopened a few years ago. That fact that I keep returning means it’s a great place and the food is fantastic!

We stopped off here on our way to Pembrokeshire on a warm sunny day and were given a lovely table overlooking the river. The staff were attentive and friendly and we all enjoyed our food. A lovely relaxing pub.

Went Saturday evening on a warm night, the location is next to the river Cothi and from the outset looked a pleasant place to be.

Staying in Llanelli, typed 'best country pub in Carmarthenshire' into Google and Bingo ! Great pub, staff, location, menu and cellar. Long may they thrive. Recommended.

Had a loverly curry on Saturday staff where excellent service was good and enjoyed my lunch on the decking overlooking the river also went back for Sunday lunch which was very tasty

This pub has had several changes of ownership so we revisit periodically. It s a potentially very attractive pub with the distinguishing feature a lovely dinning room overlooking the river Cothi. The older part is also an attractive stone building and you can dine here as well.The service was very friendly and obliging ( something they have definitely improved upon.) The food hovers in my opinion between a three and a four. The menu was a typical pub/bistro menu but with only one vegetarian option. It was attractively served and on the whole pleasant although my chicken was a bit stringy. There are things I want to do with the restaurant! The first is to take some wire cutters - although the volume was much lower than on a previous visit we do not need pop music played in a lovely tranquil setting. The second is to offer a bit of imagination in the restaurant itself - although clean and functional, it is rather bland and cries out for this lovely setting to be transformed by a not too expensive makeover.Give me a pot of Dulux and I will have ago myself!

We called in en route home from north Wales. It was a glorious sunny day so we sat outside. There was happy hour prices for beer which pleased the hubby. I had ham eggs and chips and I really enjoyed it. Hubby had lasagne and although be said there was not a lot of meat he said it was tasty. Priced reasonable and outside seating area was really nice the patio area is right on the river and it is a nice touch to have a clear panel so you can see the fish popping up occasionally for their supper. Tiny moan - get rid of the cracked milk jug it's a haven for bacteria.

Have been twice before a year ago excellent, food well below par as per recent reviews nothing to write home about.Staff friendly view lovely , food poor a real shame was good.

Lovely place, decor inside was great with lovely river views. Beautiful to sit alongside the river in the beer garden. Loads of birds to watch and it was great seeing the dogs swimming. The staff were so friendly. We only had some side dishes but food was nice, just wish they had more veggie options.

Fantastic Sunday lunch & service. The meat was very tender & plenty of it. Great beer garden over looking the river & kids play area. My 7 year old loved it. Will definitely return.

Hadn't been here for quite a few years..decided to celebrate 2 family birthdays with evening meal. Menu was not as per website, only one veggie option, very scaled down menu. When meals arrived, they were bland, tasteless and overall a 'complete waste of money'. The sweet menu was shockingly poor and we couldn't actually finish them, they were so bad. The crumble had a most bizarre taste with a very thin layer of crumble with a very runny bowl of filling...the prices certainly didn't reflect the quality...quite frankly this was the worst meal my family and I have ever had..

Stopped here for lunch after my sister's hen do the night feeling very rough had a beautiful Sunday lunch. Decor is lovely and staff are friendly. Went outside to the kids area and it was amazing we sat by the river and my 5 year old played for ages! Definetly somewhere I will call again. Everything about it was amazing

Pulled in for lunch, large car park, very quite once inside, Menu was basic, but sufficient choices to make you think about what to eat and a specials board. Staff all very friendly and polite, food was very good and well priced. Would call in again if in the area.

Me, my wife and son were heading back home after travelling over on the ferry from Ireland and stumbled across this gem.

It’s a long time since I have eaten at this establishment. It used to be very, very good, quite expensive and specialised in serving locally caught river fish, salmon, sewing and trout.

This is the 3rd time we have eaten Sunday Lunch here and each time has not disappointed. There are 4 choices of main, £12 for 2 courses. The meat is beautifully cooked and the roast potatoes are to die for. There is a good selection of veg including cauliflower/broccoli cheese and Yorkshire pudding with stuffing with all choices of meat. The view over the river is relaxing and the staff lovely. They even serve until 4pm - what more can you ask for!

Well food was nice that is what food was available. We're told on arrival there was no fish only scampi..... No fillet or sirloin steak only one ribeye so choice was very limited. It was very cold there three out of four of us ate in our coats. Service was very good as was the wine. Might try again in the summer.....

Visited here after a lapse of some months. The restaurant was nice, comfortable and warm - just what is needed.

Called in off speck on a Saturday afternoon while on a road trip. Good friendly service. We had the home made steak pie - it was lovely, served with home made chips & plenty of gravy! Would recommend

This was the first time we had been to the cressly for a few years we met friends for a drink and bite to eat. We sat outside very disappointed the food was mediacore and we felt that so much so much more could have been done to enhance this lively outside space. Had pleasant evening. Will try again.

We really enjoyed a family meal at the Cresselly Arms on the way home from the Gwili Railway. The table we sat at had a beautiful view overlooking the River Cothi. The food was great, the atmosphere warm and friendly and we will definitely return over the Christmas period. Highly recommended, we really enjoyed our meal here which capped off a lovely day. Perfect for those returning from a trip to West Wales.

We stopped here for lunch on our way back from Carmarthen. The car park was quite empty which normally isn't a good sign. Anyway we went in and ordered meals from the extensive menu and specials. The food was very good and was served quite quickly. Well worth another visit when we are passing

I so wanted to write a good review about this place . We called here the Friday before last for the very first time in years . Both of us had soup

I went out with a family of 10 for a roast dinner. I'm not a fan of eating a roast dinner out but this was superb. The beef didn't need a knife to cut it as it was cooked to perfection. All 3 courses were well presented and delicious. The price was reasonable. £14.00 for 3 courses. Will definitely be returning for a roast dinner again.

Perfect Monday lunch, when struggling where to think to go for food from now on think this place, beautifully decorated pub brought up to modern times, sitting by the window looking over the river great place to stop, facilities are amazing wifi toilets clean pub and restaurant great atmospher think we will be regulars here da iawn

This is a stunning pub with very friendly and helpful staff who can't do enough for you.

Found this place on trip advisor, chosen because it's near water, shame the weather wasn't nice enough to sit outside garden is on the rivers edge, with children's play area.

Had a simple meal from the pub menu. Fish tough chips in dirty oil.very dissapointing. Family pub service great wine nice food terrible.

Found the pub by chance and very glad we did! Superb service from Dan who made us very welcome. Lovely bright interior and beautiful location by the river. One of us had the whitebait with a side order of chips - very nice, especially not over-battered as they frequently are and very nice chips! Two of us had bagettes; clearly very freshly made and excellent. One had a chicken salad; a very generous portion and beautifully presented. The beers were excellent too! Will definitely come again.

We decided at the last minute to call for a meal, The Cresselly was a favourite of ours a couple of years ago.

We have been here quite a few times since discovering the place and have thoroughly enjoyed every time, amazing steak, hope to come back very soon :)

Riverside location, seating outside. We sat for drinks outside until food was ready then eat in the restaurant with river views. Food was traditional pub fayre. Plenty of choices on the menu. Traditional puddings, plenty to choose. Good value.

Down in West Wales with friends and booked lunch here the day before,not been in the 'Pub" for over 55 years, .Booked a table in the Riverside room, which is done out quite smart!!. The service and food was excellent{Had quite a wait for the food but when it came you could see it was all cooked fresh}

We were driving past and stopped on the off chance of lunch. Just another couple in the bar, so it was quiet. The menu looked good, the food was too. The service was a bit slow and my desire for dessert had deserted me by the time it was offered. Good job really as the main meal was quite sufficient. Lovely views over the river with a good car park.

Food was really nice ... Couldnt fault it ... Lovely out the back with the river and park for the kids ..... Kids were busy and enjoyed

The Caselli arms is and always has been I lovely pub. We didn’t eat there today although we have done in the past and the food was very good we just stopped for a quick drink and we sat on the riverbank watching the river flow past in the sunshine -it was lovely! And nice ale too!

What a great place, staff friendly and helpful, service quick and great food, nicely cooked and plenty of it. We were a party of 19 (having prebooked) and everyone enjoyed their meal. There was not one complaint. The pub is also in a fantastic setting next to the river Gothi

Location of the pub is on a river bank which is beautiful, HOWEVER when you have got resident kids climbing over the fences outside jumping into the river and running past you in wet clothes giving lip, the sum what relaxing element has gone. Food was very average pub grub but restaurant prices. The drinks prices were acceptable. The pub itself is grubby with bar staff that seemed rather hostile. A pub to return to? perhaps? just glad its not my local..

I'll keep it short Location - outstanding Beer - outstanding Food - outstanding Lovely evening meals Excellent service,food and beer what more could you want!

I often pop into the ‘Quay’ having first been introduced to the place more than 20 years ago.

We drove past this pub/restaurant, and decided to give it a try. I’m very glad we did. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely meal. Plentiful and reasonably priced. We will definitely visit again when we are back this way.

Visited with family for my mother in laws 95th birthday and had an excellent meal. Staff were all really friendly and helpful and the food was great. We had prawn cocktail and garlic bread as starters, hunters chicken and chicken with ribs plus the chips were fabulous.

Good location for lunch. Ample parking and relatively easy access.

Every time I visit Cresselly Arms I like the place even more!

Called here for Sunday lunch and sat outside along the edge of the river. Really good price of £12 for 2 courses. Lovely dinner (especially the mash) puddings were delicious. Beautiful setting, friendly staff.

6 of us popped in a couple of weeks back on a Tuesday night for food. We had homemade lasagne, homemade pie and curry. All of the food was really tasty and well made.

Can’t go far wrong with great pub grub, friendly helpful staff. I’d recommend the burger - really great quality meat.

Ate here on a Monday evening so quite quiet. Staff really attentive & prompt service but on the night we ate food very average with poor attention to details - sliced, pre buttered bread with whitebait???? & chips almost inedible as so hard. Great location & views & very clean.

I think it's safe to say that with the majority of pubs in the local area being supplied by pretty much the same suppliers, it's hard for any establishment to stand out from the crowd.

We had not been to the Cresselly Arms since it re-opened under new management. I have always liked the pub, it is very cosy, warm and friendly and its river bank location makes it very attractive - even in February (better still in the summer given its outside area!)

Lovely country pub with a modern feel inside. Menu is traditional, with a few specials usually added on. Home-cooked with real chips. Always good quality and good service. Usual choice of beers & lagers with a couple of real ales. Home-made pies are excellent, as are the steaks. Home-made desserts also very good. Well worth a visit.

Went with five friends for lunch found they were dog friendly and the food was great a choice of veggie...

Had a lovely meal here last night. Food was excellent, staff friendly, prices very reasonable and surroundings comfortable. We don't...

Having 5 children going out for Sunday lunch can be a task! But we were more than comfortable here, food...

We have just spent 3 nights in Pontargpthi and we were fortunate that our accommodation was just opposite this wonderful pub.

Came here for a catch up with friends and had food. The food was amazing, great value for money - Hunters chicken for the win. Service was quick. Staff and management were very polite. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Would deffo recommend and will most certainly come again. Thank you

Had a very pleasant evening meal recently. The pub was very quiet but warm and cosy. The building itself is very interesting being an old coaching stop off point and well worth having closer look at. The food was excellent with a very varried menu. The portions were very large, I had the Cresselly Arms burger and I was unable to finish it there was so much, I chose not to have any additions to the meal and I am thanful that I did not. It was lovely and I regret wasting some of it.

The pub has a nice welcoming feel to it and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited recently with children (3 & 10) and had an enjoyable evening overall. The outdoor play area’s a little tired but still proved a lovely distraction for the young ones. The menu is vast and very reasonably priced-it also includes some old time favourite puddings! Can’t say the food was exceptional but it was definitely good value for money.

Just a shame it was pouring with rain but we did sit in a window seat by the river, lovely friendly lady serving in fact she was the only staff member we see, sausages and mash very nice and well presented at a reasonable price, not the most comfortable seats though but nice decor.

What a absolute find. Great food, Great scenery, Great staff. A fantastic place to book a table for a staff Christmas dinner.Well done to Gary and his team. This place is a must.Russ. Cymru Pallets.

Visited here for lunch and must say it's nice to see a bar with its own identity not like the new pubs.Food is amazing and cooked to perfection. So the chef obviously knows what the score is.Bar staff are quick friendly and most welcoming.There is a children's play area which is surrounded by fencing so safe for the young ones.The new couple running the pub are warm welcoming and very pleasant.I have seen reviews about the pub being dated run down with odd decor.WHATS WRONG WITH STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD.

Based on the high recommendations via these reviews, we visited as a family in the evening. Rang beforehand to book a table and was told we could be fitted in but a little later than we first requested. Good sign, obviously busy. Or not. Arrived to see quite a few tables spare so not sure why the original time wasn't plausible. Anyway, the decor was bizarre to say the least- seemed recent in places although the design is a cross between 90s British Italian with faux cream leather and mint, mixed with 80s black and hot pink in the toilet and rustic Spanish taverna and highland twee check in the bar (and don't forget the bordello red fairy lights hanging from the pendents) and modern glass panels to separate areas. The outside affords a beautiful riverside view on one side and the other side a hotchpotch pile of higgledy outbuildings and demountables and seating areas complete with rubbish pile and plastic white gazebo. Not great really. Food was again straight out of the 80s and whilst prompt and hot, was also bland and basic- pub fodder from my childhood; chilli con carne; curry with tinned pineapple; mash and 'chip shop' sausages.- and not homemade nor high quality. Absolutely baffled by recent reviews- they surely mustn't get out much if they rate the food and premises so highly. Feel a little bit bad reviewing so low as waitresses were very pleasant and it was clean and prices were so-so and being honest I found the whole evening a little amusing given that it felt like we'd stepped back in time- almost expected to see Boycey and Marlene serving behind the bar complete with chest rug, st Christopher and shoulder pads. Wouldn't recommended I'm afraid as I'd be embarrassed to send anyone there for the food but for sheer entertainment value, it's worth a visit :)

Visited today, first time since it reopened. Party of four we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table overlooking the river. We had burger and chips, sausage and mash and I had the lasagne. All home cooked and very tasty. My lasagne in particular was one of the best I have had and a good sized portion. We were too full to sample the desserts but I managed some ice cream. Good value. We will be back when we are in the area again.

Visited several years ago and food was fine. Called with friends on 15 Aug 17 and noticed new owners so did not know what to expect.All our meals were very well cooked with my lasagne potion small and a little bit dry, but tasty.Young bar staff and waiter a little bit aloof and need training and to let their face know they are pleased to see you. Positive reviews are well justified and would definitely call again when in the area.

My partner and I came to the Cresselly Arms for dinner as we'd heard such rave reviews about it as it's been under new owners since last July. And it did not disappoint. I had the Pork Loin in Welsh sauce and my partner had their famous Cresselly Burger. It was all cooked to absolute perfection, cheap prices for amazing food, with a beautiful riverside view. We sat out in the huge beer garden and play area and stayed for hours. Fantastic customer service, cannot fault it at all. Have seen a previous review saying that children and dogs weren't welcome, but they seem to have the wrong pub as they are extremely family friendly and dog friendly in the bar and garden. Would 100% recommend to everyone, will be returning!
