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!

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!

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

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……

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.......

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!

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.

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 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

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 ♡

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful cooked food and a great choice on the menu. We came for Sunday lunch and weren't disappointed, having had 2 courses we never intended to have a pudding but because of the high standard of cooking we just had to indulge. Wow ! Outstanding...

Well worth the trip out here, what a fantastic place this is. Unassuming from the outside, this former orphanage is an absolute gem. The "Welsh tapas" description doesn't do it justice. It's small plates you can share but none of us wanted to do that,...

Very friendly staff serving delicious food. They will happily cater for allergies/intolerances and there were a number of Gluten free options on the daily menu. If you are both gluten and dairy free, they advise phoning a couple of days ahead of visiting so they can make a yummy pud
