The staff were the nicest people and the drinks were absolutely fantastic. The dj music was amazing up until the very latest, we had no issues with the surprise party and the staff even helped us out with making it look authentic. The absolute nicest place to go for a drink or a meal, 100000% recommended.

First Xmas do for me since 2019 after lockdowns and was such a letdown. We were accommodated on tables in an area so narrow that getting out for the bar or to the loo was next to impossible without making 2 people either side, slide along the let you out. Starter came and had ordered Paté but apparently the order hadn't gone through, was told basically it's soup, like it or lump it. Actually I didn't want soup, was looking forward to the Paté. Main course came round, no space anywhere on the table for the extra veg, then noticed mine had some detritus in among the turkey, possibly a folded sachet of flavouring, it was sent back and replaced quickly. Then came dessert, Xmas pudding was replaced by a chocolate sponge (at least o think it was that) but it was dry and not moist as a cake should be, the forest fruits were still frozen. Staff were excellent and the youngsters serving did a sterling job, as did the lady directing service (Stella?) however it wasn't good enough and the experience barely warrants a 2 from 5. Really need to do better if they want people to come back.

We went as a family for the third Christmas dinner in a row. Our first two experiences were fabulous. However this year the quality of both food and service was appalling. We arrived for our sitting at 2pm, and we're still waiting for our starters at 3pm. The chap with the Xmas jumper serving from the carvery was lovely and very polite and friendly, but the two waitresses serving our table were beyond rude. They clearly did not want to be there, not one of them offered a "hello", smile, or apology for the long waits and numerous mistakes. One girl in particular spent the entire afternoon rolling her eyes when serving us, and even had the audacity to mutter under her breath "oh for God's sake, just leave will you!" towards the end of our sitting. This was particularly upsetting for us all on Christmas Day no less. The pate starter was nice, but served with bread, with the idea of this dish being the mix of smooth and crunch (toast / crackers) the point was completely missed. We had to ask for our sorbet when the waitress missed it and told us to go get our dinner instead. The dinner was nice enough but by no means anything like last years quality, and sadly we were all unable to eat our school dinner style deserts. When we spoke to the manager to discuss our disappointment we were given no apology and were instead confronted by a speech of excuses, blaming both us and other diners for the poor food quality and time management. Will sadly definitely not return.

Hi 15 colleagues and myself recently booked into Ejs for out staff xmas party on the 5th Dec in the function room. Firstly I have to say the carvery was excellent, very tasty and found the dining experience organised, pleasant and not chaotic at all seeing the venue was extremely busy and the function room full and we ate at 8.30, we found the drinks prices very reasonable also.After we finished our food it was time for the entertainment, there were two shows on that night, firstly there was a lady who performed some older songs and was getting the crowd going and then a young man who came on who was absolutely brilliant, after speaking with the staff I later found out he was a local lad called J Miller exceptional voice, easy on the eye and had everyone on their feet.A very enjoyable evening was had by us and would definitely book back again without hesitation.

Wine like sour vinegar, commented on that when paying to be told "" it's table wine!", if it's that bad- how about not selling it and offering a better wine?

Main course, I had beef, it was really tender and very tasty. The vegetables were served in tureens and of perfect hot temperature. We were offered a break before desert, which we took. The manager asked whether we'd like him to reserve us a table to hear the singer in the main room, which was really thoughtful - we did and the singer was good. We stayed the whole evening.

I heard that a new chef had joined EJ's so decided to try it out on Wednesday night. I had goats cheese and beetroot starter which was delicious and followed that by the best lamb shank I have ever had. My husband had a monkfish scampi starter which i tried and will be having next time, followed by the steak. The food was on a different level to anything we have tried previously and if you like fine dining but not the silly prices I would suggest giving it a go. The home made desserts were fab I just could not manage one, but my husband had the expresso creme brulee with shortbread which was just gorgeous. I give it 10 out of 10 for taste, presentation and value for money. We will be coming again very soon.

I knew the burger was delicious, and I suggested the burger to my auntie, why has also written a review. I would like to clarify something. In my auntie's review, she mentioned that she "didn't like the burger and her nephew had thought the same." Not at one point did I say it was nice, I said it was OK, as I didn't want to be rude or embarrassed. The burger was bland, overcooked, and we asked the gentleman over the bar if the beef was fresh, and he replied "Yes" therefore my auntie decided to have the burger. The burger was frozen, not fresh. It was a massive disapointment. If you had read my aunties review correctly, you would have noticed that she said " I politely mentioned I didn't like it and my nephew had thought the same." Therefore you would not have said that I said it was nice. This was not the first time the burger has tasted like that in this resteraunt. The second time it was bland as well. The only time I ever enjoyed that burger was my first visit there about a year ago. I will not be visiting this restaurant again. It should count as a complaint now as more than one individual has complained about it.

The staff and the food were good. The hall itself was a disappointment, the lighting strip over the head table was out and there was no ventilation which made it very stuffy and hot. How come the bar prices vary from the hall to the bar at the front? What a "CON", The staff were very helpful which is more than can be said for the owner he is a con-man in every sense of the word, NOT TO BE TRUSTED AT ALL!!!

Came to check out the live entertainment on Saturday night which I have to say was brilliant. Great atmosphere and we had a lovely meal. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out in a lovely venue. I had the seabass which was excellent and my husband had the steak which he thoroughly enjoyed. I am really surprised to find some negative comments on this site, I have never had a poor meal or service on any of my many visits to Ejs. I would say to anyone give it a go you wont be disappointed.

Only recently have I discovered EJ's in Llanelli after living here for quite a while, I have been for food with my daughter who thinks she is a food connoisseur, both in the week and are now regulars for the Sunday carvery and my daughter is always very complimentary and my food has always been tasteful, value for money with excellent service. I have read the previous reviews on Trip Advisor and feel that these comments are unjust, if something is not to your taste does not mean that the food is not good or that you wouldn't return?! I have had Gammon from the Sessile Oak which was not to my taste - I still go there but don't have the Gammon!! The staff have always been very polite even when they are busy and the place is spotlessly clean as I am really fussy with cleanliness. So I think a big thumbs up and would definitely recommend them, in fact I have dragged a few of my friends along on a Sunday with their family too. Keep doing what you are doing.

I've been visiting my family for the past few days and I decided to take my nephews and Father out for some lunch.As I don't live in the area, I was recommended to go to EJ's.When I arrived it was very busy but it was lunch time - it was to be expected. My nephews sat down with my Father and they looked at the menu. Nice, varied menu. One of my nephews went for the hunters chicken, my Father had steak and both myself and my other nephew went for the beef burger. I'd been told how good they were so we relaxed with our drinks waiting for our food.Our food took a while but it was busy and we were expecting a wait. The hunters chicken and steak looked lovely and they enjoyed their meals. The burgers looked lovely but the taste was unpleasant. My nephew said it wasn't the best but ate it. I took one bite and I couldn't eat another. I ate the chips but the burger was untouched apart from one small bite.As it was still busy, I was hoping someone would approach us and asked how the meals were so I could explain. We were the only table during our visit not to have been approached.A lovely waitress came to ask if we'd finished and she noticed the burger was untouched. I politely mentioned that I didn't like it and my nephew had thought the same. My nephew ate the burger thinking I'd be angry if it was wasted. My nephew was a bit embarrassed and said "she's being awkward" as a joke but then it made me look as though my complaint was not to be taken seriously ( I had words with him on the way home!)There was no apology but I didn't want to make a fuss as it's very rare I get to visit home. 4 meals and 4 drinks came to £45.00 so it was reasonable if the other 2 meals had been up to standard.I won't be returning to the restaurant but the staff were lovely, it was very clean and inviting.

I went to EJ's to see a band for my birthday a few months ago. The band were great but unfortunately the staff and the drinks ruined my night. The pints were flat and there was obviously something wrong the barrel as the lager was dreadful. My pint glass hadn't been washed and when I asked to return it for another one, the barman accused me of wearing the lipstick that was on the glass. As it was my birthday, one of my friends had called up earlier in the evening and asked a woman to reserve us a table a little way away from the band so we could all chat but also hear the music. She confirmed this has been done. When we arrived there was no reservation to be found, which she then tried to blame on us. I have never been back since. I was bitterly disappointed. I never give bad reviews on tripadvisor and this place is by far the WORST bar I've ever been to. All they need is new management to make it better. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE BUY THIS CLUB AND MAKE IT BETTER!

We had our football presentation evening there this weekend and they catered for 84 people, 3 courses. The staff and management, especially Nick were really helpful. And everyone said afterwards the food was very nice. Everyone enjoyed it was a really good evening. Would definitely go back there for our Annual presentation.

I've been to Ej's previously and found it quite good but last week when we visited - the coffee was very strong and bitter although we had asked for a one shot coffee. The baguettes were quite tasty but the filling of turkey was quite bland and so was the beef. The Chef's jacket looked quite grubby and needed a wash. The staff apart from one young man were a little unfriendly, although the young man who served us was friendly and helpful. Quite disappointing and really I can't recommend it. Such a shame as the toilet was very clean indeed but the porthole window in the door leading from the kitchen was very fingermarked and it was only 12noon when we were there. Seems to be very mixed reviews - good to see that a lot of people have enjoyed the place but there are others who have had a disappointing experience. Such a shame as it could be really more pleasant to visit if more effort was put in to the place.

My family and I visited for Sunday lunch, there were 5 of us and we all chose the Carvery (not that we saw or a menu or had any other options). We had to ask to have our drinks order taken and were rushed to go up to the Carvery. The Carvery overall wasn't too bad, I had the turkey and although it was dry it was rather tasty. They had run out of swede which wasn't the end of the world, but a bit of a shame. Our plates were cleared quite quickly, however we waited around 20 minutes to be asked if we wanted dessert and in the end we asked a boy who wasn't doing anything else if we could order our desserts, he took our order for 5 desserts (which are supposed to be free as we didn't have the option of only having one course so each had 2 course option). However the boy returned claiming they had run out of EVERYTHING except ice cream. We had booked a table so surely EJs should be able to cater for the number of tables they take bookings for? Therefore only 2 out of 5 of us had our "free" dessert and we were all quite disappointed. Will not be returning. We were not even offered a cheaper charge for the 3 of us who did not want ice cream for dessert. One word - pathetic.

Been there a few times hoping the service would improve. It hasn't. It's also over priced, but it's the wait that is so annoying. Haven't bothered this year at all. It's very unfortunate that Llanelli doesn't have a nice restaurant for us who have to work and get limited lunch breaks!

I recently booked this venue for my husband's 40th. I paid a deposit of £50 on the 7th Jan 14 to secure my booking. I was also informed that orders needed to be in at least 7 days before the function as the food is ordered in fresh. I was promised a tel call with menu choices (set menu) and prices by the latest 14th Jan 14. By the 16th Jan 14 I hadn't heard anything so I called in to see what was happening. I was told that I was on the list to contact back that night (convenient?). However as I was there we went through menu and price (main and dessert £13.95).I was then promised an e-mail to confirm by no later than 5pm on 17th Jan 14. But low and behold Friday came and went along with Saturday too. I called in again on Sunday 19th Jan 14 to leave my e-mail address in case there was a problem. Still nothing....I called over on the 20th to find that the premises doesn't even open on a Monday. I then called on the 21st and was told no managers in work that day! What a joke.I finally received a telephone call on 22nd Jan saying my e-mail was incorrect. I told him that not only did I give it on Thursday but I also left it again on the Sunday. I told him to cancel my function as I booked it 15 days ago and was nowhere further forward yet he wanted my final choices in 9 days time!!He then told me that he didn't need the orders 7 days before 24 hours would be fine. When questioned he said I thought I was making it easier for you!! ha ha ha who are they kidding. So much for fresh food.I then asked for refund of the deposit as the reason for my cancellation was because of their incompetence and was told I'll have to check with the owner (apparently manager can't decide that?)10 minutes later I had a tel call saying he would give me £11.95 per head at cost price. Cost price in who's world? the cost price of a curry or lasagne is not £11.95!! and my husband and I could have 1 bottle of fizz (champagne? more like cava!) for us too share. How generous. We'd have to drink very very slow.I told him I'd think about it. I knew I would cancel as I have no faith in them. When I called him back to confirm cancellation he told me no deposits are refundable. I would agree with that if it was my choice but it's their fault. SO be very very CAREFUL.

Bues i i'r caffi yma ychydig o wythnosau yn ol, ar ol ymweld a'r parc gyda fy'n nheulu. Roedd y bwyd wedi cymryd amser hir i fod yn barod ond roedd y bryd yn blasus dros ben. Bydden wedi hoffi i'r staff fod ychydig yn fwy 'welcoming' a roedd y caffi ychydig yn fach ond os yn anwybyddu hyn, fe ges i amser da iawn a bwyd neis hefyd. I went to the cafe a couple of weeks ago after visited the park with my family. the food took longer than expected to arrive but the meal was very delicious. I would have loved for the staff to be a bit more welcoming as the cafe was a little small but if I was to ignore this I had had a lovely time and a lovely meal to go with it.

We stayed in a motor home for 2 nights. OK there’s no loos or showers but you can empty your chemical loo but there is electric hook up and the price is sooo cheap! It’s out of the way, really quiet, a bar and restaurant and lots of sheep and ponies to see. Would most definitely stay again!

que no tomé fotos esta vez ya que se me olvidó. Este es un gran tesoro escondido Llanelli no te saldría mejor ... La decoración del mal un poco anticuado, pero la comida es increíble!Tuve huevos de jamón y patatas fritas. El jamón era preciosa y gruesas y tan sabroso., huevos cocinados a la perfección, justo como a mí me gusta, yema suave y las patatas fritas parecía casera y eran encantadores y algo pesada.Incluso el zumo de naranja era exuberante probado caro.En la pared era variedad de su casera, equipos y había un montón de sabores para elegir, me voy a probar la próxima vez.El servicio fue atento que incluso nos dieron la opción de guisantes o guisantes blandos. El personal realmente te dan lo que quieres. Estoy seguro que allí de nuevo.Pagué £4,45 por mi comida y bebida! No te puedes equivocar con ellos precios!!Sin duda merece la pena una visita ...
