Falcon Restaurant in Carmarthenshire

I popped in because I was curious to see what it had to offer. It was mid-morning, and I was presented with good coffee whilst sitting on a comfortable squishy sofa by a real fire. The lunchtime and evening dining menus offered a wide selection of options and appealing choices. They had a Christmas menu, too.

Excellent food and service. Would certainly recommend. Did not stay there as we live locally.

Went for Sunday lunch with family and had a fantastic meal. Could not find fault with anything. Will definitely be returning.

Friendly staff and good service only had a drink

We were looking for a double room for one night after 6 p.m. We were warmly welcomed at the Falcon by the nice and professional Maya, who immediately not only tried to find us a nice, clean room but also a parking space. The subsequent dinner (dinner) in the small, cozy dining room tasted excellent. The broccoli cream soup and caprese salad couldn't be better, as was the breakfast. Thank you Falcon but especially thank you Maya

This hotel is discriminatory towards homeless people and while staying here was made very uncomfortable, staff even walked in the room while still in bed too and unlocked the door, they acted rude and made complaints for a question being asked although they are there to answer questions, and one of the staff had spread misinformation.

Limited free parking (4spaces). Paid £125 for a very small double room. Appliances all had out of date pat testing labels. Walls very thin could hear next door very clearly talking. Back ground music playing in the morning coming up through the floor at at 0700 hrs. Tv reception very poor.

We were early walk-ins on a busy Friday lunchtime. We were welcomed and seated. Service was prompt and friendly. The set lunch deal was excellent value: one melon and one prawn salad starter, one chicken breast in tarragon and chestnut mushroom sauce and one hake fillet for mains, served with either chips or mash and vegetables.

Friendly helpful staff good food comfortable beds and good location Post COVID still the same great staff and service. Has been decorated . Still cosy and charming

Walking distance from our hotel. This establishment was clean and well kept. the food was well cooked and tasty. the waitress was a delight.

What an amazing find. Accommodated me and my girlfriend with our little dog inside in the corner. The service, chef and waitress where only beaten by the quality of the amazing food. Must visit for dinner if you’re in Carmarthen

Had a great time . Comfortable place to be. Food very good and reasonable. Staff friendly and helpful. Quiet but right at the edge of all the stores, theatre and cinema lees than a minute walk.

This is currently our favourite restaurant in Carmarthen. The staff are very friendly and the menu is reassuringly traditional but with a few modern touches. A restaurant like this is hard to find these days.

We met the family here including two small children for Sunday lunch and were very impressed with the quality of food, service and reasonable price. We were so impressed we returned the following week for afternoon tea and were not disappointed!

Pleasant decor, attentive staff and sensible Covid arrangements. Very few customers, which is a shame. I can recommend the slow cooked duck with mash and veg (£15) and Hilda enjoyed the salmon fillet with prawn linguine (£16). Drinks were a little strange with my Jameson's and coke served as a long drink in a pint glass. Skipped desserts as there was limited choice and all sounded rather filling.

First trip out since moving to Carmarthen in December First class Sunday Lunch Mashed potato to die for Lovely surroundings Friendly staff What more can you ask for We'll be back

Superb Sunday lunch and an excellent weekday menu .Quiet and comfortable traditional restaurant without intrusive music to inhibit conversation

Visited with family for Sunday lunch. We felt really safe with the social distancing measures in place. We were sat well away from other customers and the staff wore visors. The food was lovely and plenty of it. I had the cheese soufflé, roast beef and sticky toffee pudding. Really good value for money and we were offered a complimentary glass of wine with the meals as we ordered the 3 courses. The staff were so lovely and helpful. We’ll definitely be returning!

My Mother and I had Sunday lunch in the Falcon today. I cannot rate the food high enough. Top quality roast beef, homemade Yorkshire pudding, lovely vegetables including cauliflower cheese. The desert was divine. My Mother said "the best I've ever had." The staff were lovely, helpful and polite. The price for a 3 course meal was good value. Covid safety was as it's supposed to be, very safe. 100% recommend it and will be going again.

Had a great Sunday lunch there a couple of weeks ago.Lovely food and good service.Three courses for £18.99 a head. Eleven of us went and not one complaint. Would recommend highly !

Never eaten here before, but three of us decided to meet here for lunch as restaurant dining options seem very limited in Carmarthen on a Monday. The hotel itself is very pleasant with a rather quaint dining room. Plenty of choice on the menu covering most options. We all chose different dishes with mains being hake, duck and chicken in mushroom sauce which was delicious. The cost for two courses was £15.95. We all enjoyed our meal served by a really friendly waitress and would not hesitate to return.

Good quality food, service, surroundings and ambience. A very welcoming friendly restaurant with highly professional staff well recommended.

We spent a few days touring in this area, after Mediocre Restaurants/Hotels decided to try this one, Best decision ever, Superb evening Dinner, the Lamb was the best ever and my Partner's fish Perfect. Delicious Deserts, Good Service. This Chef is definitely Punching above his Weight.

Excellent cuisine, excellent service, atmosphere good. Ideal for a all function, Office parties, etc etc.

Came here for a large gathering for a sunday lunch and the food was excellent. Small range of beers from the bar, but made up by good service from staff.The Falcon is easily accessible and if you are looking for a more private dining experience ask for the room to the right hand side of the entrance.Food is excellent.

I've eaten quite a few meals at the Falcon both this summer and last summer and it is a favorite spot. The service is welcoming and the space is comfortable. Excellent fish dishes and a generous supply of perfectly cooked veg. Simple, delicious food. Lovely soups and desserts as well.

Had to write a review as we've just had a most wonderful evening at the Falcon hotel. Brilliant food and great service.Very impressed !

Absolutely stunning food loved it the quality was amazing will definitely go again. The quality of the food is the best I've had so far in Carmarthen keel it up.

We have lived in the area for 3 years, and this was our first visit to the Falcon, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant had 20 place settings and was nearly full when we arrived, which is a recommendation in itself, given that there is plenty of competition in Carmarthen. We chose the 2 course lunch menu for £13.95, goats cheese starter, and lightly battered hake with chunky chips. We thought this was plenty of food, when along came a dish of mixed vegetables. All food was freshly cooked to order, and of excellent quality. Staff were friendly, and attentive. We will return, probably for Sunday lunch, which is the weekday menu plus a dessert for not much more money. Given the generous portions, we will probably have to not eat the day before. Highly recommended!

Good food, excellent service and fine ambiance. Quality food at a reasonable price. Staff are polite and welcoming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three course traditional Sunday lunch at The Falcon today. We haven't been there for some time and only the staff had changed in that time. The same high standards and delicious food. All three courses were thoroughly enjoyable and the staff attentative and friendly. Well done!

Unplanned visit to Carmarthen, looking to eat.Wandered around town and could only find one very busy Italian with no space. Everything else was chippy and/or grilled, yuk. Falcon hotel had an interesting menu so we gave it a try. Only us there but it got busier later. Service was excellent, meal cooked to order and delicious.

I dined here on a Tuesday night at 7pm. The seafood gratin was nice as was the duck, and the service was excellent. The only issue was that I was the only person in the restaurant so most atmosphere at all!!

We came to find this place my chance, and are we pleased we found it , We were met by a very good employee, tomos, who should be applauded for how good he was at his job ,my wife had lamb rump and veg , witch she said was fantastic I had chicken breast and sun dried tomatoes and pasta and garlic sauce it was first class , we then had sweets and both my bread butter pudding and my wife's chocolate pudding was amazing. This please for the quality of the food and service is a bargain, if your in Carmarthen this place is must.

Booked for farther's day lunch, our table ready no waiting, all staff/waiters were excellent, very informative and friendly, our meals were excellent and fresh. Will return, keep up the good work as service as good as this needs to be recognised.

We called in while walking back to the car on a Thursday lunch time and thought we'd give it a try as we used to call here years ago for Sunday lunch. And I must say it has not lost its touch in fact it's...

Lors de notre visite au Pays de Galles, nous avons déjeuné dans ce restaurant qui nous a ravi les papilles....

Almorcé aquí con un amigo el pasado fin de semana. El servicio y la comida fueron excelentes. La comida estaba muy bien preparado y bien presentado. La próxima vez que visitamos Carmarthen sin duda visitar este restaurante de nuevo.

Llevamos a mi madre para cenar en un jueves por la noche. Fue maravilloso. La camarera no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. La comida era de primera categoría y no me puedo quejar. El chef era muy servicial. Sin duda volveremos

A well-placed restaurant in the town centre. Wide-ranging lunchtime menu, reasonably priced, food well-prepared and presented, excellent service.

I ate here with 4 girlfriends for a late lunch yesterday on a recommendation from a friend, it did not disappoint. We had 4 different choices off the 2 course lunchtime menu and all were excellent. The service was efficient and friendly. lovely dining room with log fire. We will certainly return.

Had Christmas lunch and it was excellent, the food was piping hot and a good selection of vegetables. The dessert were outstanding. Excellent service, Well done.

Even though there were three large groups all having their Christmas meals, the food and service was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, plenty of vegetables to go with the variety of choices of mains, all served with a smile. Thank you to all the staff for making our meal memorable for all the right reasons.

Good food and plenty of it. Friendly staff, lovely surroundings. Great value for money. What more do you want?

went here unexpectedly for Sunday lunch, seated straight away, impeccable service, great food on a set menu for Sunday lunch (starter, roast, dessert - approx £17), quite sedate atmosphere and we were possibly the youngest people there (most patrons seemed over 50), but never-the-less some lovely food and wine. More of a take-your-parents-out type of place than large-group-of-mates type of lunch.

Lovely food but would appreciate more vegan options. The standard menu I was originally presented with didn't even have a veggie option. They were informed I was vegan a day or two before the meal so they did have advance notice. They did provide me with a starter (melon) but I would have preferred a soup but the soup on offer was not vegan. The main course was mushroom strogonoff. It was very tasty but the rice portion was tiny. There was no pud suitable for vegans on the menu, but to be fair to them, I didn't ask if they could supply one. Very tasty food in a nice setting with helpful staff but perhaps could be more adventurous for vegans.

A separate review for the restaurant because my evening meal was excellent. Arriving rather hungry I had three courses and each was delicious. The menu is unpretentious and not overlong, the cooking of a high standard. I recommend any hotel guest to "dine in" at least one night. The service is good.

Lovely place, staff were so helpful and accommodating and everyone agreed the food was wonderful. Thank you

Proper food, excellently cooked, delicious. The Chef here is well deserving of praise. I became very attached to the pork dish, can recommend the sea bass also and the cheesecake is superb.

Ordered the duck and salmon, service very fast and food was fab, highly recommended and shall revisit soon.

Mit kleiner aber für Wales etwas anderer Speisekarte. Gute Fleischqualität und ansprechendes Gemüse.

Officially called The Falcon Hotel at Carmarthen, the restaurant serves delicious food at a reasonable price. 2 courses for around £12.

I stayed here in May 2016 and was surprised and pleased with the standard of the food. Delicious and a different menu every night.

la cena era a menu' fisso con diverse scelte fra tre portate .. antipasti piatto principale e dessert tutto cucinato all istante ben impiattato e di ottima qualita' piatti abbondanti .. ci e'stato concesso anche di condividire il menu completo in due ... ambiente accogliente

Avevamo prenotato la camera ma abbiamo anche cenato, dato che dopo le 21.00 ogni altro ristorante ha già chiuso.Io prendo formaggio di capra al forno con verdure. mio marito gulash con patate al forno, tutto buono prezzo equo. Personale gentile e disponibileLa camera è pulita ed accogliente il bagno ben accessoriato, colazione all'inglese ben nutrita e di qualità.

Excellent food in a relaxed comfortable restaurant well hosted and obviously frequented with regular and satisfied customers.

feels like a 30 year timewarp, seriously in need of an update both decoratively and menu, your customer base is actually dying off

Visited on Sunday the 10th of April 2016. For a family birthday lunch which was very nice. Alway have a lovely meal in there and not disappointed. Good service and good food.

Good, wholesome food with a warm welcoming atmosphere. The house wine is a good quality and the Brioche bread and butter pudding is unsurpassed!

My wife and I went for the three course Sunday lunch. Starters we chose were deep fried brie and chicken pate. Both were very good. For mains we had the Sunday roast, beef and pork respectively with a bottle of house red, which was perfectly acceptable. Meat was well cooked and had plentiful accompanying vegetables served in a separate bowl. We then chose the mango and coconut cheesecake and strawberries and meringue as deserts, which left us feeling very full! Next time I think we'll skip the starter. Only minor criticism is that the table was too small, and the wine came to the table with the cork already removed and was simply left on the table for us to pour ourselves. It would have required little effort to uncork the wine at the table and to have given me the opportunity to check it wasn't corked (as it happens, it wasn't!) in the presence of the server before pouring it into our glasses.

High quality food and excellent service. The sirloin steak was the size of a T bone with the tenderness of a fillet and was cooked exactly as ordered. The homemade desserts were delicious.

Visited the Falcon for lunch on recommendation from a friend following my sons graduation ceremony. We arrived early but were immediately seated and offered drinks by the waitress . Food and service excellent couldn't fault anything will definately visit again next time in Carmarthen.

In Carmarthen on business and looking for a nice evening meal. This was just right - good food and not too heavy. Service was good - in spite of the waitress clearly being on her own and having to rush around!Anyway, well worth a visit for good food.

"This restaurant delivers a fully dependable service time and time again. One of the most reliable places to eat in Carmarthen."

This is the strangest review i have written as it's not about the food served...allegedly good. But about the hotel staff, who helped my small party when one person became ill (unconnected to the food i must add !!) and needed an ambulance. The hotel was prompt and helped in what was a 999 call and I must say a 'Thank you' to them. Sadly, we didn't get to eat the food ordered :-(

Had Christmas day lunch first class food staff excellent can't fault it also had club staff party there all good first class

25 members of my Keep Fit Classes visited the Falcon just before Xmas for our annual meal and, once again, it was an extremely enjoyable occasion. The food was excellent (and hot) and the service was good too. We come here nearly every year as, having tried other venues in the past, nowhere ever lives up to the high standard of the Falcon. It is also a good place to meet friends for a chat over coffee or drinks as there is always a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere.

n excellent experience although not surprised as we always use the Falcon when eatin g out We woul.d always recommend the falcon to our friends

My wife and I recently stayed a night for a birthday event and cannot praise the hotel enough.The room was extremely comfortable and gave a great peaceful night's sleep. The staff were very pleasant and more than helpful.The food was delicious with a good choice on the menu.The breakfast was superb and sets you up for the day! If one is looking for a place to stay either on business or holiday then I highly recommend the Falcon. The next time we visit Carmarthen to stay there is only one place to head for and that is The Falcon Hotel Tim C

we celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary last week at The Falcon.The setting was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful responding happily to our requests. All ten of us were more than happy with the food on offer on the Sunday lunch menu with the range on offer satisfying all our needs. Thank you all for making the occasion so special.

My wife and I visited Carmarthen the other day and decided to have lunch at a convenient restaurant . The Falcon hotel has a good reputation in this region and was able to give us a table for lunch .The menu was perfect for our needs and the service turned out to be extremely friendly . Reasonably priced lunch with the option of a carafe of wine available to drink - surprisingly acceptable . Two X three course lunches cost just under £30.00 . We were more than satisfied .

My wife and I with 2 friends enjoyed a special Christmas Lunch at the Falcon,the food was very good,three courses all of which was well prepared and good portions. the staff were attentive at all times .The table was well laid out and were seated on time, service was quick and efficient a really enjoyable meal

We had a lunch at this restaurant. It was a cold day, but despite a fire in the reception area, the restaurant was cold. The food was good basic pub food fare, good value, lots of veg but the roast pork came with only one roast potato (although there was mash), portions were good. The waiting staff were friendly.

Another visit to the Falcon at Carmarthen and this time I must write a review. Our dance group had its Christmas dinner there this year and again a fantastic meal. On many occasions we've eaten there and their high standard of cuisine was met tonight too. The various selections of meat were served with piping hot vegetables and praise for those went around the table - cooked well, just right!! And the service matched the food. Smiling waiting staff - polite and seeking to please - promptly serving and clearing and we were not the only group they cared for. The restaurant was full with another much bigger party of diners who seemed to be really enjoying themselves. Bar staff were equally helpful and quick. Thoroughly recommended!

The food was excellent as was the service, friendly warm atmosphere..Thoroughly enjoyed by all..Didn't have anything to find fault with..

Ordered a sandwich and found glass in my ham and mustard sandwich. Waitress apologised and said there's no glass in the kitchen. Went to the loo and overheard the kitchen staff complaining about customers ordering sandwiches saying... Why don't they go to tesco! Shocking.

Have eaten here on several occasions. Particularly good for Christmas functions. Price is reasonable for a 3 Course meal.

a lovely place to eat in the middle of town .you can also stay here .had quite a few meals here with no complaint

Stumbled across this superb restaurant during shopping trip to Carmarthen with a friend. What a find. The food was Michelin Star quality. The waitress was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. No 'ding' meals here thank goodness, everything freshly cooked and beautifully presented. Can't wait to return to The Falcon.

The food is lovely. Fishcake as a starter should be on the menu all the time it one of the best things I have ever eaten.

This the second time in 5 weeks that i've eaten at his restaurant. The food is delicious, the surroundings clean, comfortable and relaxing, The staff friendly,knowledgeable and helpful. Definately recommend this place for a friends get together or a family meal.

We were a party of 32 who dined on a sunday. We were not required to pre order as the menu changes daily. The food was outstanding. All courses were beautifully presented, served on hot clean plates and the portions were very generous. We had forgotten how good the falcon was!The service, although friendly and efficient, was a little slow but thats to be expected when such a large party.Wholeheartedly recommend the falcon. We will be calling again soon

Took the family for a Sunday lunch which was acceptable. In general the food was good but there were not sufficient vegetables for five of us. They need more staff on a busy Sunday.

6 of us went to the Falcon for Sunday lunch recently - all excellent - prompt service, even though they were very busy - reasonably priced yet generous portions of well presented and excellent ingredients - for a traditional Sunday lunch I can't fault it

My family have just eaten a wonderful lunch at this beautiful hotel, very reasonable price for 3 top quality meals. The living flame fires in the dining area and in the 'Drawing room' where we had coffee, made for a touch of luxury. Can't fault the fabric of the place of the contents of the menu BUT ... the waitresses, have they just been trafficked here? What kind of management appoints people with zero customer service skills who are the 'shop window' of a business? Do you think we won't notice ? Listen, if I just want to fill my stomach I'll go to a chippie, I chose this hotel because I am willing to pay extra for quality. Suffice to say, I will not be returning to the Falcon. Shame, as the food is amazing.

Food beautiful but a little on the expensive side , service great even though busy. Would recommend to anyone

We went as a group of 14 on a Saturday lunchtime for my mother's 70th birthday celebration and the service was excellent from the moment we arrived. I had asked for a small table to be provided for the birthday cake and it had been duly remembered along with a silver cake stand and knife.The food was excellent, plentiful and very tasty. The prawn salad and the ham and avocado starters were super, and my duck main course was delicious with plenty of meat and a delicious sauce. There were freshly cooked vegetables in abundance, homemade chips for the gammon eaters, and the mash was smooth and creamy. My husband's chicken dish was also really tasty with a delicious bacon, cheese and peach topping.The food was hot and served quickly, the lady looking after our table was so helpful, and the atmosphere was serene and relaxed. Half a pint of coke was £1.80, so about average price, but the whole experience was well above average. The Falcon is highly recommended!

We had yet another 'do at the Falcon on Friday. Whenever we have leaving/retirement do's we tend to end up here. The food is excellent!! There were about 30 of us and the service was super speedy and friendly. Its always a very good experience whenever we go. I can deffinitely recommend the Goats Cheese Bruschetta to start, Salmon in parlsey butter/glamorgan sausages for a main and the brioche and butter pudding for desert.

The Falcon Hotel had been previously booked for " Our Dinner " 2nd week of Dec. Near to a Hundred, people attended. Food was supplied Quickly. Hot. & with Smiles.Nothing was to much trouble. The group was very happy with the waitresse's & all enjoyed the meal very much. No Complaints at all. Time passed to quickly, & Time to Depart. We will be returning, in the Near Future. Many Thank's to the MANGER & STAFF

I always enjoy the Set Lunch Menu at this hotel. The service is excellent and the food tasty. There is only a small choice but I would recommend the pork. I will definatly be returning.

Ate here as part of a larger group. Set lunch menu at £11.95 per head for two courses. Really good choice of food - I opted for the pork dinner, followed by brioche bread and butter pudding. Service was attentive at both the bar and by the waitress who brought out food. The meal was excellent, and I really could not find fault with any of it. AND it was fantastic value. I have eaten at other restaurants locally in recent weeks and they could not compare on taste or value.. I would definitely recommend The Falcon for a meal - be it a business lunch or with friends and family.

My wife and I went to Carmarthen to shop and before we went we looked up the Food Standards Agency ratings for various restaurants. The Falcon scored top marks so we thought we'd give it a try and we were not disappointed. We had the two course lunch at about £12 and it was excellent. Very nice looking formal restaurant and bar area at the rear but we got a table at the "lunch room" at the front of the hotel. My wife had roast pork followed by brioche bread and butter pudding; I had the baked cod followed by cheesecake. Everything we had was very good indeed. Nice surroundings, good service, friendly owner and a very good lunch. We shall certainly go there again when we next visit Carmarthen

Nice place one of best small hotels in Carmarhen. Good retaurant, but it is reowned in the locality for its sunday lunch, which is freshly cooked, and has high quality melt in the mouth meats, also the cauliflower cheese is fantastic. Good deserts I invariably have the Brioche & butter pudding with Creme Anglais while my wife normally opts for Creme Brulee. Go you won't be dissapointed!!

Visited for a lunchtime function in October and enjoyed the event. Would happily go back there again.

Wen't 4 sunday lunch with my parents and a dinner cost £10.95 it was terrible 2 pices of small lamb that was very dry. couple of bits of veg that was regadless of any taste what so ever. its way over priced. £2.50 for half glass of coke. there again over priced. I found the veg extremely salty. i wiuld of rather stayed at home and had a ready meal. will not be visiting there again.

A very good place for a midday meal during the week. Very good service and a very reasonable number of choices for each course. Very good portions of everything. Only criticism was that the vegetables were rather boring and slightly tasteless which seems to be a common problem these days. Will be back when in Carmarthen again.

Been to 2 parties here, both were great food was very good, staff were helpful.Would rate highly.

We needed lunch in Carmarthen and liked the look of the fixed price lunch menu. The goats cheese starter and baked cod and mash main course were excellent and very reasonably priced.There looked to be some bizzare menu item combinations which we weren't brave to try!!Toilets were down a flight of stairs,

Sunday Lunch was very good, service was spot on. I have not tried any dish from the weekday lunchtime/evening menu so i am unable to review that, if it is anything like the Sunday Lunch, this restaurant is onto a winner.
