Old Cross Inn in Carmarthenshire

Thoroughly enjoyed Sunday lunch here today. Much improved on our first one a couple of months ago. The pork was gorgeous

Had a few hours eating and drinking on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. Sat outside for a hour before going inside for lunch. Fish and chips were superb as was the mac and cheese. Great choice of starters , and the service was excellent. Good atmosphere the afternoon just flew by xx

Quite expensive and not made to feel welcome

Decided last minute to go for a Sunday carvery. They had a table available. Food was lovely - well cooked and well presented. Didn't take long from order to service. Sorry didn't take any photos - 😅 too busy diving in to food. Service was spot on and served with a smile. Top marks to you all 😃

The bartender does nothing but smokes rollies and gives long “what do you want” stares, instead of “welcome, what can I get you.”

Just witnessed School children walking past getting abuse from your day time drinkers. I'm really starting to hate walking past the pub in the day time

Came here with my husband. Extremely friendly staff, good food and great atmosphere. We’ll be coming here again.

The vegetarian options were limited, and the portions were a bit small, but the prices were reasonable for what you received. The staff, however, were exceptionally friendly

Stepped in for a drink after a funeral. A firmament in Ammanford. Friendly staff and good drinks. Recommended.

Very cheap food and high-quality service

Low score on food as several items not available. There was one member of staff covering both bars and serving food and tea and coffee. She was great but she couldn't keep up. They need more staff. Atmosphere marked down as the racing was on full volume but couldnt see it anyway with customers vaping non stop. Shame as I was looking forward to lunch somewhere new

Here’s the problem. The place is actually really great but their weakness is consistency. Twice we have walked down to town in January alone to take advantage of the “fantastic food offers” only to find they are not serving food for one reason or another. Their food is great, hence we keep trying. Today one look at the front and rear of house and you just knew my next question was not going to be the answer I wanted to hear. “Can I have a menu please”? I’m sorry we are not serving food today. On a Saturday afternoon? I really want to this place to shine for all the right reasons but it’s times like this that can have a detrimental effect on the longevity and success of a business. They have recently had a refurb, those costs need to be recovered, so the next 12 months of trade relies on the quality and consistency.. 50% is not enough. Please guys you have something really special here; nurture it. I have loved my meals here when I have had a chance to get one. 3 star is not a reflection of the food only my genuine disappointment that I don’t get a chance to try it more often. The worst thing is, it’s not the end of the world for us, we end up eating somewhere else, but I really wanted to spend money with them.

Had a cavery which was excellent staff where friendly and helpful would recommend this place

This place was pleasant once upon a time, It's a shame the Managers and Area Managers are working for profit not Customer service and focused solely on producing a product that give people a good experience. Evidently the Area Managers have no idea about community spirit and works to drain as much finance from this once lovely pub and unfortunately it will be its biggest downfall. Would not recommended this place at all!!!

One of the best steak & ale pies ever

As we were travelling from Devon to meet two friends for lunch at the Old Cross Inn ,I booked on line and had confirmation of the booking . When we arrived we were told that they did not have the booking, and said they were fully booked as they had a table of 20 booked in .they reluctantly gave us a table, a full menu was displayed, but were told we could only have the carvery ,which seemed to be warmed up from the previous day .one dish was unrecognisable. Apart from a few other people eating , we never saw the table of 20 .

Unable to share any experience of the pub. It states clearly on their website the closing time is 1am. Myself and a few lads fancied going into the pub for a few pints only to find it closed at 11.30pm. Disappointed to say the least and think it’s best if you change your closing times as others would know then and this certainly would look more professional. Regards

Carvery is top notch staff are very friendly will definitely go there again

A pub in a sleepy town, staff are friendly drink prices are advridge. What more does anyone need. Live music each weekend. Class pub

Had to pay before your meal, rationed to 2 roasties, noisy atmosphere with a TV playing in the back ground, we asked if we could have a side table,, informed they were for an incoming large group. Still empty when we left. Just not for me. 😢

Not sure why so many people were rating this place highly. The carvery is really bad, Pictures online are very misleading too. Mash was a solid dry lump that moved around as one dry potato. Stuffing was weirdly over seasoned so didn't taste good. Roasts were bland and barely got any. If you like terrible roast dinners than I'd highly recommend

Excellent Sunday Carvery . The food was delicious would highly recommend. Friendy service and nicely refurbished.

Only passing but heard good things, very nicely decorated too.

I ordered a salad and chips came to 17 pound, there was a hair in my food I then complained I was told the hair needed to be seen and basically because the hair was blonde my friends hair is blonde they can't refund as it could be hers as if I'm going to put my friends hair in my 17 pound salad.. the girl behind the bar was rude won't be coming here again! Shocking!!!

Decent fish n chips, crispy batter, plenty of tasty chips. Nicely plated on a piece of "newspaper", cute. Service was pleasant. Nicely decorated.

Little to no vegetatian options actually availiable on the day we went the menu looks lovely but all that was availiable was halloumi kebab i was first served chicken i complained and then had plain vegetable skewers some time after my fiance

Glad to see this town centre up and running again. I hadn't been here for a long time and this looks like it's like a comfortable, traditional pub. Loses a star because there was no ale on the hand pump because the delivery had only just arrived. Edit on 23 March 2023 - Went there yesterday and found still no ale served. I was told that they were going to remove the hand pump so if you are looking for ale you are out of luck. I've knocked another star off.

Nice old fashioned pub drinks were fairly priced and barman very pleasant will call again.

Great pub classics at a very fair price

Great ale. Lovely outside seating, with good service.

Rude little boy behind the bar, after ordering my drink I was told to hurry up with payment as he huffed and puffed. First and last for me.

We went for Sunday Dinner. The food was lovely, the staff were patient, friendly and very helpful.

Had a wonderful meal, lovely staff and a good experience all round.

Fantastic place to eat all week around but for us the Sunday dinner was the best we have ever had the beef dinner is outstanding fall apart beef 😛 very generous child's portion, nice seating outside in the sun or inside watching the sport very friendly staff every time we go would recommend this place to go definitely enjoy the food thank me later 👍

Good food, decently priced and friendly staff, nice place to go for food.

I called there a few weeks ago, it was lovely but very busy , they were very busy and what I didn't realise that there was short of staff of which I didn't know at the time , I have had lovely meals in the past ,

Nice to see the pub open again. Food great staff very friendly will return.

Nice pub inside, has new seating area outside. Friendly staff, good choice on menu. Food was good, except it was only just about warm. Been here before, same happened then, some of meal was cold. We complained the last time, food went back, then came out cold again, so did not complain this time.

Always a great atmosphere,staff are amazing and the food is such good quality and very tasty

Friendly staff and lovely looking place, but doesn't serve food in the evenings which is the only time I'd be able to visit.

Nice pub, friendly and good food

Just moved in around the corner and popped in for some lunch, we both had some burgers off the menu. Absolutely delicious! Will definitely head back!

Just had a beautiful meal, clean and stylishly decorated, made to feel welcome, food was tasty plenty of it and good price, 5 star service

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and a friendly pub

Brilliant good service and clean

Great pub grub venue in Ammanford, had a decent meal for a fair price, good boozer too, nice decor and a great atmosphere 👍👍

Lovely food and a free pint with food. Would highly recommend

Atmosphere was great good crowd good music and beer was fab

Cracking food great service very nice clean and pleasant

Had lovely meal there with grandson. Excellent service and can definitely recommend. Since it's new ownership the pub is very well presented and welcoming.

Friendly atmosphere, great good, welcoming staff

Nice interior, friendly staff and good choice of drinks.

The person running the place very rude. He's far from a people person. You'll know exactly who I'm talking about if you get served by him.

Lovely food and welcoming atmosphere would definitely recommend 👌

I lived in Ammanford for the last 3/4 years and I never felt more welcome in a put as the old cross and what a great atmosphere there drinks and food at a good price and the staff will have a chat and a laugh with you It’s a 5 from me

Lovely food but toilets are a working progress

Pub grub, very nice great staff very friendly. Needs quite a sum of thought and money to reinstate the interior. I would definitely return.

Great atmosphere and great live music

Now in the hands of a real pub ownership, with people in mind, customers matter to him, and he looks after them. Good food and drink.

We come here for breakfast regularly as the food is great and the staff really friendly. The place is immaculately clean and comfortable to sit and eat. I would recommend The Cross for breakfast but beware, the portions are quite big.

Me and my partner went for a drink the staff were standing around laughing and joking normally its a friendly place and the service is great but very very poor today apart from one member of staff who was a very professional young man

Lovely atmosphere. Drinks incredibly reasonable. Pinot Grigio fab. Can't wait to go back . Will try the food as well next time. Looked fab.

Reasonable quality, would have preferred a larger choice of steak rather than just rump, food cooked and presented well, and reasonably priced. Waiting staff were attentive without being overbearing.

Fab pub. Staff were brill. Food was fab. At last a lovely place to go for a drink, nice back ground music. Looking forward to the six nations in there 😁

The Staff are lovely and our food was delicious. My only criticism is the toilets..they need a good upgrade and a disabled toilet would be a massive plus point. Although I am sure improvements and upgrades are going to happen 🙂 It has only been reopened the last few weeks and I wish them all the luck in the world 👍🍀

A proper jewel in this otherwise "functional" town. Covid has not been kind but this pub is a welcome oasis. Great quality "up-market" tasty food that we did not expect to find. Fabulous place (apart from the puddle in the Ladies, sorry ❤️) and kind and courteous staff. Definitely recommend ☺️

Lovely atmosphere looking forward to visiting again.

Shut down. Has been for years apparently! The website linked with this property is for a pub in Scotland!

Good local pub ,serves food ,had outdoor seating

Nice quiet drinking place, not full of teenagers, friendly staff and landlord. Pol table, darts and beer garden.

Lovely couple there at the moment. Very welcoming and friendly.

Great staff. Nice little pub. Great atmosphere.

Had a great couple of pints in a good atmosphere with free chicken wings and roast potatoes at the bar

Not great, drinks are dear, no atmosphere. Lots of daytime drinkers go there (AA)

Manager and staff are fab and can even play pool and have a laugh.......I miss the the place very much....

Met the owner and everyone is very friendly

Had a beef roll there beef unedible full of grizzle would not take the complaint seriously had to argue my case about a 50% refund. Pathetic

No food but friendly staff and always enjoy down the old cross

Visited on Saturday lunchtime. Apparently no food is served in the pub despite the signs outside stating otherwise.

Friendly staff....and a nice pint

this site is crap. all your info is rubbish n mistakes .try harder.
