Inn At The Sticks in Carmarthenshire

Welsh tapas. Delicious, different. A bit on-trend, though, with its array of vegan dishes. Don't hope for a Sunday roast here. Staff very polite and attentive. Building a little bit cold. Great array of wines, sherries, vermouth. Eye-wateringly expensive. Expect £100+ easily for a couple, with drinks.

Lovely unusual food served in a Tapas style sharing dishes but quite expensive. Good beer.

Food absolutely fantastic lovely deli in the pub with a fantastic restaurant staff brilliant downstairs is superb .upstairs needs some work towels a bit small and could be a bit fluffier l no kettle in room a bit cold in bedroom but it would not put me off going as the food is so good

We booked here after a recommendation from the owner of the AirBnb we’re staying at. Well it didn’t disappoint. Lovely staff, fantastic food, great wine. The food was delicious, so full of flavour, and portion size just right. The staff were so friendly, relaxed and not pushy. Definitely a place to come back to when we are next in the area. A great way to start celebrating my husband’s 65th birthday.

I was in food heaven. Excellent food. Amazing vegetarian and vegan dishes. Flavours were out of this world. We shared a mixture of fish and vegetarian dishes. Very friendly staff. Mushroom vegan dish was very creamy. Lots of Umani flavours often contrasting with a sweet and crunchy flavour. 😋

We booked this for lunch for our wedding anniversary and so glad we did. We had an amazing array of dishes all absolutely delicious and good wine to accompany it. Our dogs were also made very welcome and there was a very relaxed atmosphere. Having shared 5 savoury dishes and two desserts we left with full bellies! We will definitely be returning soon and even though we live less than an hour away are tempted by the rooms so we can immerse ourselves fully in all this lovely area has to offer….and of course the amazing food and wine at Inn at the Sticks!

Rang many many times over 2 days to book a table with no answer. Called in whilst in the village, pushing open the door that had 'open' chalked on it. Stood for several minutes at the bar, next to a pile of used crockery whilst 2 members of staff perused a customer's whatsapp photos. Finally received a moments attention to be told they were fully booked for the rest of the day yet there were several free tables. We asked if the number we had been ringing was correct - the waitress said she didn't know and that the phone had been ringing a lot so they hadn't answered. They couldn't have been less interested. We had been really looking forward to trying the this venue but struggle to see where the reputation has come from. We couldn't have felt less welcome - and spent our money elsewhere.

Awful, rude staff, unclean & disinterested. Don't answer the phone ( tried for 3 days to book!) Quite how it got its reputation I've no idea. Waste of a journey & waste of space!

Fantastic small plate dining. Food was amazing and served by friendly efficient staff. Definitely will be making this a regular

Wonderful experience, some of the best food we have tasted 😋, the concept of small plates allowed you to taste a large part of the menu. Everything we had was the very best of fine dining. We stayed the night, lovely room with sensible check in/out times that allowed you to get the full experience, breakfast was awesome 👌 too.

We had a wonderful experience at the "Sticks". Great food and friendly service in a restaurant/bar full of character and atmosphere. It's really deserving of the Welsh local restaurant of the year award. We've already booked our next visit!

As a self-proclaimed gastronome this little gem of a restaurant had been on my radar for a while, and boy did it more than deliver on everything you want from a dining experience.. Every member of staff was on point, none moreso than lovely Lauren, who took our phone booking and once we arrived got our exquisite lunch up and running on a high. We stayed for so long, through a shift change that was seamless and the service was impeccable, everyone attentive, accommodating and effortlessly charming. Then there’s the ‘food’ itself, which seems like such a lame word for true culinary delights. Chef’s please take a bow. Every single dish was nothing short of exceptional, from the divine cockle popcorn that you could eat by the bucketload, to the fabulous and fresh heritage tomato salad, the tantalising tuna sashimi and the sensational sticky pork and bok choy, to name just a few of the many highlights, were all a feast for the senses. And as for the desserts, it’s fair to say they were off the charts, especially the luscious lavender panna cotta, an absolute triumph and the perfect way to end an unforgettable all round experience. Having been fortunate enough to visit some of the best restaurants both in the UK and overseas, this is up there with the very best. It wouldn’t be a surprise if at some point their current richly deserved accolades reach Michelin starred level. Put simply Inn At The Sticks is just WOW. Welcoming, Outstanding, and Wonderful. Literally cannot wait to return.

Stopped in for an impromptu late lunch after a long coastal walk. Every thing about our visit was excellent from the warm welcome to the service, lovely wine and the food was absolutely perfect. Really good concept executed exceptionally well. The only shame is that we are not local to be coming back any time soon!

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found this absolute gem on our way home from holidaying in Pembrokeshire and even more fortunate that the people who'd booked a table were a no show so we got to fully indulge in the sublime food....oh my it was DELICIOUS. We appreciate good quality and locally sourced food and this was no doubt the best we have savoured in a long time. Everything was first class, the staff reflected the passionate nature in the food, wine and general relaxed ambience. Thank you for such an unforgettable culinary experience.

Excellent service, with individual dishes served one at a time. It was busy on night. Parking can be limited.

Stopped for lunch after a walk on the beach with our dogs at Llansteffan. Welcoming, friendly and helpful. Lovely variety on the menu. Very fresh and tasty food. Well prepared and presented. The house white was perfectly chilled. So nice that we bought a bottle to take away. Will definitely be going back with friends.

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting, very friendly and helpful staff

Lunch time tapas with family on a visit to Wales .This place is amazing ,restaurant & separate room for a wine bar . The tapas are really delicious & there is a great variety as well as a specials board .Desserts fantastic. The service & ambience of The Sticks is great9 & must be a huge asset to the village .Really friendly staff . A must on our next visit . I have mobility problems & there is disabled access & although the toilets are down 2 steps from one entrance there is another door with level access.

Excellent Tapas meal. Friendly pub/restaurant/wine bar. Disabled access. Nice pint of IPA. Street parking and car park opposite. Situated in the village of Llansteffan. Didn't stay at the Hotel.

Had a meal here after coming off Llansteffan beach, initially disappointed as many of their small plates menu had run out but although what we selected were far from our first choice, the quality of the cooking was excellent and all the food turned out very tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice Ibiza-style chill out ‘garden’ too. Beware parking can be tricky!

Fabulous food fabulous staff and they looked after the dogs too.

Wow, blown away by the amazing ambiance, service and the food. It was an absolute delight to taste some of their extraordinary menu. The owner went out of her way to make you feel welcome and her energy was inspiring. I can't wait to go back again and taste more!!!

We came from Holland this summer to travel around in Wales from north to sound. We stayed 2 days in LlanStefan. We had a wonderful stay and the food is amazing! Best place to go in Wales When You like good food! No joke. We loved it! Staff was also very friendly + the atmosfere having in this place is lovely. Place Looks like a place with a lot of History, food is next level. We highly recommend this place to eat!

Well, what can I say, a delightful place. The staff are very helpful and pleasant, the atmosphere was great and the location is amazing. Nestled between a castle ruins and the beach with lush countryside, the village of Llanstephan is just beautiful. Now to the food. It was presented as a kind of Welsh tapas, however, no tapas has ever tasted so good. The menu is full of amazing culinary delights. So fresh, there was a delivery as we were there of lobster and crab, caught that same morning, you can not get any more fresh than that! We would like to say thank you for the fabulous service and even better food you cooked up for us, it more than topped our day. We shall return. What a precious jewel hidden in the South Wales countryside/seaside.

As visitors to Wales, we were delighted to discover the Inn at the Sticks. Its picturesque location next to Llansteffan Castle is simply breathtaking. The inn itself is full of character, with cozy corners and a warm atmosphere. We enjoyed a delicious meal, showcasing fresh local ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the castle and surrounding area. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

Fantastic pub, excellent customer service and brilliant tasting welsh tapas food, absolutely beautiful place to visit definitely recommend 😀 😋

Excellent lunch, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere

Fabulous food rooms and customer service. Tracy, Teej and team went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable - will definitely return

Another stay at this lovely village Inn, It’s obviously an important place for the locals. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. We celebrated a big birthday here with a lunch for 9, the food was really good with sharing boards and lots of delicious small dishes that could be mixed and shared. I particularly enjoyed the faggots and lamb curry, desserts to die for! Lots of interesting choices for breakfast along with traditional full English. I had a selection of Welsh cold meats and cheeses. A very relaxed feel about dining and also with the accommodation which we really enjoyed. Its position is great with parking in the square and easy walking to the beach and the castle and cliff walks

Faultless food and drink for a large group, a wonderful experience.

Holy Moly! Expect to have your wig blown off! This place is incredible and the food is amazeballs. Cannot recommend it enough!!

Fab, fab, fab - one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The flavours were incredible & we shared some plates of seafood & vegetables with the delicious cheesecake to finish. The staff were lovely & added to the whole experience. Can't wait to return ... it'll be a highlight of visits to the Gower from now on for sure.

What a great find. Food is amazing, welcome is so friendly and service excellent. High quality, fresh, local, seasonal ingredients cooked and presented to such a high standard. Beautiful food to look at and even better to taste. We had 2 plates from the sea and two from the garden to share, and shared the cheesecake to finish. This was a great girly dinner treat. Highly recommend - can’t wait to go back and try other menu options. This is a high end restaurant food experience in a relaxed pub atmosphere that has a welcome for everyone including well behave dogs. I repeat - what a find

Great atmosphere and good drinks menu but the food was OK at best. Small plates range from £9 to £20 and of the 8 we tried, only 2 delivered on taste, despite everything looking fantastic. The beef and perl las pie (£15) and the bara brith sticky toffee pudding (£9) were highlights, but most dishes lacked flavour. We trust chefs to season the food, but this didn't happen at the Sticks. The blandness was a huge disappointment. At about £60 per head for lunch exc drinks, my expectations were not unreasonable. As he cleared the table, the waiter asked if everything had been okay, that word pretty much summed up the meal. Definitely worth a visit for a glass of wine or local beer but cannot recommend the food.

Literally this is some of the best food I have EVER tasted!! And WOW - found out today they are now in the GOOD FOOD GUIDE! What an amazing achievement by Debbie Neale and Melanie Fairman and their team!! Well done. Just had to share my experience. Cockle Popcorn - amazing. The tastiest chicken thigh I’ve tried, monkfish in light curry spices - you could taste all the flavours of the spices individually it was so delicate! And the heritage tomato salad - OMG, the freshest, tastiest tomato salad ON THE PLANET! Well done to the whole team here, the balance of everything from the bar and dining areas, to the deli and the stunning rooms you can stay in. This will be a place I will return to regularly……

We visited a few times whilst on holiday, the staff are very friendly and the food was outstanding, A lovely place to eat and drink, we loved our visits

Had a fabulous lunch at Inn at the Sticks today. Food is outstanding and creative - wine and drinks equally so. We will be back!

Amazing food at Michelin prices BUT … in a noisy pub?? Rowdy people at the bar, could not hold a conversation so special evening out turned into super-overpriced disappointment. What is this business trying to be? A rowdy pub or a quality tapas restaurant? £20 for a small portion of fish… Will not be going again in a hurry.

Delicious and surprising lunch. Each element crafted with great care and detail. Absolutely fantastic.

Where shall I start …..The food was excellent! We (2 friends and I) ordered several dishes from the specials board including the Head of the woods mushroom vegetarian dish, the faggots, the special “Asian pork belly dish” the chicken salad, the salty new potatoes, the honey roasted carrots, the hispi cabbage and for a dessert we shared the duck egg ice cream which was probably one of the most amazing desserts I have ever had he pleasure to sample. Everything was a gastronomic delight and was cooked perfectly. The service was wonderful, Tracy was so attentive behind the bar , friendly and accommodating, even the chef, Deb and co-manager Teej came out to check everything was perfect for us which was lovely. The ambiance was also perfect. Overall, this was an incredible dining experience and would not hesitate to recommend Inn at the Sticks to friends, family and fellow trip advisors. You will not be disappointed if you reserve a table and dine here. I will be back for sure.

The place itself is very cosy and atmospheric! The staff were warm and friendly! I went for the first time on a Sunday with me family and we were all blown away! the food was incredible the best meal I’ve had in year's! So many amazing dishes every mouthful was a delight! I’ll definitely be coming back!

Decided to visit Llansteffan for a day and while there get some lunch on a Sunday. We had no preconceived thoughts about the food at the Inn and then once inside realized we had entered something a bit special. They do a tapas style menu but with a twist. As an example Beef Brisket, giant Yorkshire in horseradish cream and rich gravy. Add some creamed cauliflower with coconut, sweet raisins and parsnip, plus roast new potatoes and you end up with the most delicious and unusual gastronomical lunch: The ambience, setting and service were all top notch. We did spend a while wandering round the village, beach and castle. We will be back

Friendly staff, Excellent food from the talented team with regular changes to the mouth watering menu, plus added bonus of a deli section. The Inn serves a good pint, along with a decent wine selection although the main event is the food. Relatively new I'm interested to see how the Inn evolves?? Good luck Jenks & Teej x

Had a great relaxing break, the staff are exceptionally helpful. Food was very good. Great atmosphere in the evening.

We came to the village as a group of friends meeting up with our friend who lives there. She recommended the Inn at the Sticks and WOW it did not disappoint. There were five of us and between us we had around 15 dishes plus bread and olives and I cannot fault any of them. From the quality f the ingredients, presentation through to flavour combinations everything was exceptional. The specials apparently change weekly or so and the staple dishes on the main menu are not to be missed. Stand outs were the Hen of the Wood mushroom dish, the Cawl, the Shepherd's pie, tuna sashimi, heritage tomato salad and the beetroot tartare. However it was ALL fantastic. Some of the best food we have ever eaten. What makes it so amazing is the atmosphere, to be able to eat food of that standard, while in a relaxed cosy pub environment, wearing your wellies and and walking boots - spot on. We have all raved about it non stop to anyone who will listen since going there! Looking forward to a return visit the next time I come down from London. Bravo to the whole team.

Just lovely! Excellent food, too much choice for just one visit, very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Lovely food, and wine, and environment. Would definitely recommend

A hidden gem, fantastic British small plates championing Welsh ingredients and coast line

We came here for lunch today to celebrate our anniversary and everything was so delicious! We had a lamb ragout from the specials which was particularly amazing. It's small plates which means you can try lots of different things which we like. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful, and a very nice setting too - we were very cosy sat just near a lovely wood burning stove on a rainy day. My husband was also impressed with the wine selection. Would highly recommend!

Nice place, nice enough staff but 50/50 food. Ham hock terrine was very good and good amount of peppercorn(£12 for one slice) Mackerel Doughnuts were disappointing, lacked taste and isn’t passed through a Tammy so had a sharp bone first bite(£12 for two 2 inch items) Horseradish cream was a bit watery. Waitress passed it on to the chef but didn’t get a reply (bone) Middle weight in a heavy weight contest.

Dinner was excellent, can't fault anything we had, we order a selection of dishes and both steaks. It was all great, the carrots were outstanding, the seafood, fish and meat all cooked perfectly. The sauces were great for dipping the chips in. Their home made sourdough was a lovely start. I'm so glad they had space for us, it was some of the best food I've eaten in a long time. It's a wonderful, I love to share food so I get a bit of everything and I couldn't have been happier. Thankyou

Food is amazing, deserves a rosette. Excellent service as well and welcomes dogs. Best restaurant I've eaten at in Wales ever.

The food is amazing, how can anyone make carrots taste that good I'll never know, our third visit. The food is beautiful, and such a variety every time we have gone. The flavours of the food are wonderful, and theres a variety of drinks on offer. I'm looking forward to my next visit, I'm glad we don't live closer as we would be there all the time. Definitely worth the drive.

Super friendly staff and owners who accommodated us to eat at the bar despite a fully booked restaurant for a busy Easter Sunday. The food is phenomenal and the wine list really reasonable priced for delicious wines. A relaxed atmosphere with 10/10 food. Would highly recommend this recently opened gem- we've already booked to stay and eat again for our anniversary.

The Sticks is just a fabulous Inn with restaurant. Stayed for three nights and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. All the staff are caring, professional and friendly. The Welsh Tapas food is of the highest quality with all dishes, breads, sauces being home made. The menu offers a very good choice with some exciting dishes to choose from. When reading the menu you really do feel that you want to be able to eat everything. This food is of the highest quality. Annie front of house is a true Turophile - ask her to tell you all about the Black Cheddar! The breakfast streaky bacon is the tastiest I think I have ever eaten! Our bedroom was just what we needed. Airy, clean and en suite, with a very comfortable bed. Thank you all, you have a great restaurant and bar with rooms. We will certainly be back soon! David and Dianne

Stopped in after a walk with the dog and had a warm welcome with fantastic food, drink and atmosphere. The girls on the bar were so helpful and super friendly! We'll definitely be back!

What a great place. Excellent food, warm ambience and very friendly. Beetroot was just incredible. Pork belly was perfect. Looking forward to going again.

We have just returned from Inn at the Sticks . A big birthday lunch in a group of 15 with kids , dogs , the whole chabang. The food was utterly delicious and thoughtful , the welcome was warm and relaxed and the service second to none . Absolutely love it when you find a total gem like this one . 100 % recommend! We will be telling everyone we know !

Fabulous menu, very different options for tapas, good attention to detail. Something for everyone and service excellent 👍

The food was excellent, staff very attentive, tapas menu was great and freshly cooked. Also had cask ales, in very good condition. Had a very nice afternoon.

What a wonderful find. We went to the Sticks for lunch in February. Immediate impression was that it was a lovely oldy worldly pub that had a really nice atmosphere. The staff could not have been better. Friendly and informative of everything on the menu and how the restaurant worked. They refer to it as Welsh tapas. The food was amazing as was the wine. Something a bit different but soooo tasty and I would totally recommend

We decided to try here as it was highly recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint, lovely atmosphere. Service was excellent . A tasty alternative menu. We enjoyed all the dishes served . Will definitely return

Beautiful beef and Yorkshire pudding , delicious proper thick gravy, sublime puds , an amazing Mother’s Day lunch staff were great happy friendly and efficient .. we will be back

Living locally means I visit regularly but if you’re visiting Llansteffan make sure to pop in the Deli, it’s really lovely with local items and fresh food. I haven’t had a meal here just yet but will be soon! The whole atmosphere is great and the interiors are really lovely with a nice country vibe.

Called in on the off chance of a table after a stroll on the beach. We had the warmest of welcomes and a great explanation of the "small plates" concept made with local produce. The vibe of this place is relaxed and really friendly, lovely decor thats quirky in places. The food was absolutely belting, it was tasty, plentiful and so much choice on the menu. Would highly recommend the cockle popcorn (try saying that after a couple of beers!) and the bara brith sticky toffee pudding was to die for! This was our first visit as locals and certainly wont be our last. I cant commend the attentive staff enough, they were friendly, humorous and knowledgeable about what was being served. See you again soon.......

Carmarthenshire is blessed with many fine eateries but the new set up here may surpass the lot. Beautifully presented, with a fantastic range of tastes and textures 😊👏

What a find. I can’t praise highly enough the super friendly staff and the honestly phenomenal food and chef team here! Watch this spot closely as it will be the worst kept secret in Southwest Wales soon enough and be booked for months to come! Especially with a no doubt expanding wine bar and deli area when summer rolls around and the garden opens up! More so my partner and I were amazed by the flexibility and ingenuity of the team here when we arrived and surprised them as both vegan by choice and they managed to whip up version of the on menu food and some off menu options no problem in the spot and at no extra cost! Even with this surprise it was incredible! If you haven’t already. Stop by here for a bite and a pint. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic food beautiful village. Room was incredible. Staff were so welcoming. Cannot fault a thing. We are going back again.. thankyou for a wonderful stay.

The Inn At The Sticks is simply gorgeous, in every way. We stayed for one night on February 10th and celebrated a friend's birthday. From the moment my husband and I walked in we were met by such a lovely welcome and made to feel at home. The fabulous Teej and Jenks have put their mark of perfection on this beautiful place. The room we stayed in, right at the top of the Inn, was perfect. We had everything we needed. Lovely little details such as the Welsh cakes in our room and wonderful coffee, plus a very comfy bed. The food itself is exquisite. We've been fortunate enough to dine in some wonderful places over the years, a few Michelin star restaurants. The Inn At The Sticks is up there with all of those restaurants and, if I'm honest, I felt the food was even better than them. That's really saying something. So a huge thank you to Deb, Mel and Craig who create magic in the kitchen. Their creations were sublime. The weekend was one of the best we've had in a long time. Teej and Jenks you've created something very, very special for your guests. Looking forward to returning soon! Catherine & Bill Thomas.

Absolutely blown away by their attentiveness and dedication to their customers. Our meals were amazing and well presented. Thank you teej & Tracy ❤️❤️

The most fantastic food in a beautiful Inn right on the coast. We’ve been 3 times and can’t get enough!! Excellent service and the food is absolutely brilliant. Best food in Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire!! We travel from Tenby to enjoy this delight. You have to...

Me and my husband were treated to a night away from the kids and we booked the union suite and dinner. We were greeted by Teej and taken to our room (ready at 2pm!) and what a wonderful room. We stayed in the union suite...

Wonderful lunch - very friendly hosts Highly recommended- cuisine superb. Dog friendly as well

Superb setting. Fabulous food. Amazing atmosphere. Wonderful welcome! Since Deb and Mel hung up their spoons after the Blue Ball we have been starving! Now they’re back and even better at the Inn at the Sticks with Teej! Go girls! Icing on cake? - dog...

Last week I took my family here for a 70th birthday celebration. The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service was equally fantastic. I cannot rate this place highly enough. A modest facade in Llansteffan village, gives little clue to the outstanding cuisine, service and...

Food was delicious with a Welsh flavour. Very helpful staff.

The food at Inn at the Sticks is exceptional. Varied and great tasting. The service is great and the atmosphere very welcoming. Teej & Jenks and their team have created something very special in Llansteffan

Another spectacular meal. Popped down on my own for a spot of lunch and even though it was fully booked managed to secure a spot at the bar. The staff were all absolutely charming as always. The fact that the menu is designed as smaller...

The food is incredible, so good. It's very tasty and the service is really good.

What can I say such a wonderful experience. I went with my partner and we stayed overnight, lunch, had dinner, two bottles of lovely wine, carva, and two small glasses of wine which was just under £300. Yes it's slightly pricey but honestly with all that it comes in at really good value. We sadly went there when the weather was horrible so I would recommend going when it's a bit nicer weather as a walk on the beach and having ice-cream would be the lovely icing on the cake we couldn't get, but we plan to go when the weather is nice. The staff and owners are the most lovely people you will ever meet, they made us feel welcome the moment you get there, they are all pretty relaxed Food: I highly recommend the Popcorn cockles and Welsh lavavbread (I normally hate lavavbread) but all the dishes were amazing Drink: treat yourself to a glass of cava to start your meal and the albrino is perfect as a bottle or a large glass with your food. We also had a rose but I thought the other wines we had were slightly better, but ask the owner for a more in-depth knowledge of wines and what would be better suited for your tastes. Room: the room gets very warm, and the shower was a bit small for a 6ft guy haha but it had great pressure and we got some lovely Welsh cakes as a welcome. I look forward to coming back and making it a home away from home when we want a little get away.

What a fabulous dinner this was! Teej (formally of Curado in Cardiff and Ultracomida) and her amazing team have done wonders in this small village, and Inn at the Sticks is just the perfect place to get away for the evening and have a nice night with quality, original food and drinks. And the rooms were excellent too - comfy, clean and well priced! AND there's a deli for drinks and food to take away too!! Highly recommended!

By far the best I've eaten in a very long time. Everything on the menu is full of flavour, beautifully presented and shows the most wonderful creativity. Really relaxed atmosphere, great rooms, extensive wine and deli offer. Just a wonderful place to stay and eat...

Amazing experience from the moment I walked in. I had my two dogs with me so always a bit nervous, one barked as soon as we got in but they were instantly made a fuss of by the staff. The food was fantastic, lots for...

Simply wonderful food, great staff, warm welcome and lovely ambience. Can’t wait to go back to this exciting Welsh tapas restaurant

The food is INCREDIBLE!! Warm cosy atmosphere and amazing staff. Our ten year anniversary was made truly one to remember thanks to the most insanely good food I think I have ever eaten , and staff that felt like family. Cannot recommend enough I really...

A very enjoyable evening. The food and service was exceptional. The restaurant was fully booked but Lauren managed to accommodate us. A wonderful evening and a special atmosphere. We will definitely return . Well done to Teej and the team.

I had been following the Facebook page for a while and meaning to pay a visit. I finally had a chance to visit with friends this weekend and I have to say it more than exceeded my expectations! Such friendly staff and absolutely amazing food......

What can I say xx After asking and hearing everyone talk so highly about the food, staff and decor of Inn At The Sticks, I have been following them on instagram for quite a while now so I booked 2 rooms for our friends and us. We checked in at 2 pm, were welcomed like family and had drinks at the bar. We went for a lovely walk to the castle with amazing views. Then back at the pub we discussed the menu and the specials, asked advice and ordered several dishes to share and taste. Delicious food, by far the best in West Wales at the moment. We felt the passion about their food, pub and service from everyone. Then we sat by the fire on the sofa in the Deli and played cards and drank lovely wine. Our rooms were also lovely and comfortable, breakfast was delicious with 2 courses. Thankyou so much for our experience and tasty food xxx

Wow! (And I don't give out compliments unless they're well deserved). Staff super welcoming and attentive, cosy atmosphere, and food banging with flavour! What a treat. If you like rich, tasty food with buckets of flavour this place is for you. Well done to the...

There's new life in the old inn..... Llansteffan's charm isn't just in its serene walks and dog-friendly beaches. It's in the culinary rebirth of The Inn at the Sticks, now under the dynamic Teej, a culinary wizard. Who's Teej, You Ask? For those unfamiliar, Teej was the heart and soul of Curado in Cardiff. Known for her warmth and deep knowledge, Teej was a familiar, kind face to many. But little did we know of her hidden culinary talents, which she has now brought to with Debs and Mel to The Inn at the Sticks. What's new at the Inn? Walking into the revamped Inn, you're greeted by an array of small plates that pack a punch of flavour. Who knew carrots could be this exciting? We're talking about Yorkshire puddings the size of a baby's head, a selection of carefully chosen Spanish wines, and dishes that leave you longing for more. Their smoked trout is a revelation – hot smoked trout served with celery, apple, and caperberries, all brought together with a tonka bean and sherry vinegar mayo. Not our average dish of choice. Then there’s the brisket of beef, served with a gigantic Yorkshire pudding and those unforgettable carrots. Not to forget the cottage pie, a warm belly hug after a fighting through storm Isha. Let's talk desserts - because at The Inn at the Sticks, they're a serious affair. The Bara Brith sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch & tea sauce and the Penderyn Merlyn cheesecake are not just desserts. They are a celebration of Welsh heritage and flavours. Teej and her team have brought a bit of that Spanish flair from Curado, intertwining it seamlessly with local Welsh charm. The result? A culinary experience that’s both familiar and exciting, fresh and new. The Inn at the Sticks isn't just about the food. It's about that warm, welcoming feeling and that's down to the team of strong, inspiring women at the helm, the Inn isn't just a place for a pint (though their ales are still as delightful as ever); it's a destination for food lovers. Add to that their cosy rooms and the charming deli, and you’ve got the perfect spot for indulging in good food, sipping on cracking wines, and taking those serene coastal walks. Croeso yn nôl ♡

Absolutely incredible food yesterday at this place! Every dish that came out was exceptional including the desserts Dont go here looking for pub grub - it’s not! It’s cuisine of the best type with local products and beautiful flavours. The wine was also perfect we had a white Rioja and a Black Forest trifle. Mackeral Doughnuts yum The potato terrine with truffles was to die for !! Recommend this place massively

What a very memorable food experience we had at ‘Inn at the Sticks’ restaurant in Llanseffan. It was a wonderful dining experience, absolutely superb! It’s got to be the next up and coming Michelin starred restaurant for Wales, surely? The food was truly scrumming, I was the first person to try their delicious Welsh Rarebit and it didn’t disappoint, the staff are wonderful along with the ambience and fantastic drinks! Well done to you all, keep it up and we can’t wait to come back soon.

Wonderful place food was outstanding also the staff and especially the hosts friendly relaxed atmosphere also dog friendly lovely walks on the beach then perfect place to stop for high qaulity food

Good service,good food,different type of menu ,liked it

We really enjoyed our meal on Christmas eve. The food was great, especially the way the vegetables were cooked which made carrots and cabbage so much more than usual Great service too!

Amazing food, amazing service, can't compliment it enough

Our first visit to The Inn At The Sticks for lunch and it won't be our last! A wonderful welcome with our 2 dogs, immediately taken care of by the dining room staff in all respects. An splendid menu of choices using a tapas style of dishes and shared between us. A great variety of drinks too. Excellent quality of food accompanied by thoughtful and friendly service throughout. A relaxed atmosphere and decor, easy to find too. Well done and many thanks for a delicious and relaxing meal.
