Pentre Arms Restaurant in Ceredigion

Honest review: Good range of drinks but coke mixer totally flat. Lamb steak very good but had to wait over an hour. Maybe that’s why the chicken was really dry. Good but could be better. Shame the landlord doesn’t address the issues in these reviews. That’s what comes of having a captive market I suppose.

Went here for food 2 days in a row. Both days the service was brilliant. Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed my fillet steak with the peppercorn sauce. The soup and scampi in a basket we had as a bar meal the day before was also excellent. The pub is well kept with an oldish charm and the views are stunning. Thanks for a lovely meal. Sure to be back when we're that way again 😃

Fabulous pub. Friendly service. Beautiful location, couldn't be nearer to the sea unless it was actually in it! Love it and can highly recommend.

An hour wait for oven chips and frozen fish fillets. Hmm. The fillet steak was good, but that was the only highlight in a special reunion meal for 4 Siblings. Disastrous. How on earth this place has won awards for anything to do with cuisine is a complete mystery

Due to circumstances we were 10 mins late....which meant a wait for 40mins to receive food. We ordered 3 fish with chips and 1 fillet steak. After such a time the resulting dinner was highly disappointing. Steak was really good. Fish was clearly frozen supermarket. The chips were frozen oven variety. The service was pleasant but altogether for an award winning restaurant it was let down.

It does not get more Welsh than this place. Great food. Come hungry.

Had a great meal here, staff where great, very helpful and friendly. Food was lovely and great portions too, beer was also good. We had a lovely evening and the view is immense too!

Lovely Welcoming. Great Food. Superb Views and Amazing Atmosphere. Fully recommend this place if you’re stopping by and I fully recommend their beef burger 😁

We had a family meal and the waiting staff were knowledgeable about the menu, polite, friendly and patient while our youngest deliberated over his choices. We all enjoyed our food and loved looking out the window at the waves and surfers. I had the chicken, leek and bacon pie and I keep thinking about how delicious it was!

We were welcomed with great kindness. The meals are excellent and generous, the rooms comfortable and very clean. The establishment is very warm, with the added bonus of the sea at your feet!

Great location, great rooms, great food and great prices! What more do you need for a quick weekend getaway! Live entertainment regularly booked and I would highly recommend tucking into a burger!

Perfect spot to take a pint to the beach!

Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay here but did have a fabulous meal and drinks on a beautiful sunny evening. Service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We had starters and mains but couldn't squeeze in any dessert. Highly recommended. Thanks to all the staff who made the evening so enjoyable.

Absolutely delicious food and large portions too! Lovely atmosphere and fantastic service (a special mention to Geraint who was friendly and attentive). Would definitely recommend!

We were recommended here by our air B&B host. Wow what an amazing pub, views stunning , hospitality fantastic and the food was outstanding. I’m vegan and there were plenty of choice, I had the three bean chilli and my husband had beef madras. Both quality home cooked food. Can’t recommend this place enough . It does get busy so I would advise to book, dog friendly too

Lovely place to eat. home cooked food, amazing will definitely be back here if we come to wales again. Thank you.

Pie was as excellent as last time Good job 👍

We dined here 4 evenings during our stay in Llangrannog. Every meal was fresh, delicious and local. My husband ate the lobster caught that afternoon and was thrilled. I also loved my freshly caught fish. Lovely staff and good location as right next to beach.

Great location and friendly staff, great food.

Lovely Inn on the beach with stunning views. Staff are friendly, and the service was second to none. The food was good value for money.

Had a great evening meal here , great atmosphere

Very good nice burger and very nice chair lovely

Great pub with gorgeous food and fabulous sea views. Highly recommend

We were large group 28. Booked for a meal. Food promptly served hot and varied dishes. Very helpfu friendlyl staff.

A pub with a very warm atmosphere with a wonderful welcome and tasty dishes. The road is complicated to come but the reward is at the end.

So good we’ve booked to go back already. Fabulous setting overlooking the beach, fantastic staff and food is amazing. Also dog friendly

The restaurant has a lovely view of the ocean. My husband and I both had the Welsh Cawl--the national dish of Wales. The soup was chunky and was served with a hunk of cheese and a crunchy roll with butter.

Food as always freshly prepared. Good home cooked food guaranteed. We have taken lots of friends and family here, always gets the vote of approval.

Proper pub right on the front at Llangranog

Amazing little coastal pub, serves an addictive steak and kidney pie, great views of the beach right outside from a huge panoramic window. Warm and welcoming, hearty and homely, just what a pub should be.

Super friendly pub, fantastic homemade food, dog friendly and the most amazing sea view! We'll be back!

Stayed for 2 nights early January. Superb food, lovely room and very welcoming. Llangranog is one of our favourite places to visit. Diolch Mike and the team!

Lovely food in a great location, with friendly staff. Dogs welcome, and it's on the Wales Coastal path, of course. Large picture window at the front, overlooks crashing waves in the bay. 4 hot mains took about 15-20 mins, with a fairly busy pub, and there a couple of steps up to the main toilets - I didn't see a wheelchair accessible loo there, alas.

Didn't stay this time but a difficult pub to beat

What a superb pub. Walked here from Tresaith on a midweek winters day, and found a warm welcome, friendly faces and superb food. With a huge window giving views onto the beach a few yards away, this is such a great spot. We will be back for sure. Thank you!

Great pub, great views, walks, food, beer,rooms and a great welcome. Overall an amazing place to stay, especially in the winter months 😁🥰

We had a meal here out of season. The food was lovely, the hand pump ale was well kept and it was amazingly friendly (dog friendly too) There is a picture window that looks across the road to the sea and due to a storm ... What a picture to watch whilst eating.

I would go to this pub for the location alone, but the service, and the superb real ale make this a truly excellent pub. The views out to sea are phenomenal out of the picture window.I had the pleasure of sitting in the warm, and watching the surfers surf some really impressive waves. I will definitely be back here again.

Lovely little pub very welcoming

Great pub in a beautiful location on sea front. Good pub grub. Have stayed before, rooms are comfortable, breakfasts are top 👌, make sure to book rooms facing the 🌊.

Great atmosphere and unsurpassed sea views

Mid week lunch quick friendly service. Great atmosphere and what a fabulous panoramic window overlooking the beach. First time back in a while following the experience with private carpark centre of town.

Nice pub good food . Great views..

Awarded 2023 best spot for a reason. And food was delicious!

Called in on off chance while waiting for my wife to walk over from Tresaith with her sister and brother in law. Was made to feel very welcome as I sat there in the window overlooking Llangrannog beach with a pint of delicious real ale. The others joined me (my excuse was that I am injured) and we just had soup. I say just had soup, my smoked haddock chowder was exceptional. My wife was raving about the cawl for a while after. Most importantly I felt very covid-19 secure.

Visiting family inn llangrannog we booked as usual at the Pentre, the service as always was good and I was impressed with the Covid precautions being taken. The food was very good with the steak being really was cooked. And the pie was superb. Really enjoy the pentre and well worth the visit again

Stopped here for the night on Friday. Had a meal outside looking at the sea. We had crab salad in a box and a glass of white wine . The food was super! Mike and his staff are doing a great job.

Amazing food despite current goings on and the staff could not be friendlier. We stayed here for 2 nights and it is idyllic right on the beach. Thoroughly recommend the beef madras and the lamb Tergine

Great pub with great food. Had food here last night with my wife and another couple. I had camembert starter which was very tasty. Then Sirloin steak main meal, best steak I have had in a while. Everyone's food was spot on, with great service by restaurant and bar staff.

We had a couple of nights down Llangrannog & spent bith of them in this wonderful pub. So cosy & welcomingvwith a huge window exposing the magnificent waves and beach. We had delicious food with friendly service. I will definitely come back to this traditional pub in a perfect setting.

We drove through the beautiful Welsh countryside to the lovely little seaside town, Llangrannog, a village established in the 6th century. A statue of St Carannog, the founder of the town stands on top of the cliff looking down over the bay. We enjoyed our meal of homemade broccoli and cheese soup with crusty rolls at The Pentre Arms at the beach, it has a picture window so you could look over the bay with its big stone entrance. According to legend, the giant Bica had such bad toothache he spat his tooth out on the beach! The large weathered stack of Ordovician rock reminded me rather of a huge bullfrog sitting in the water. The service was good and friendly and we enjoyed gazing out of the window watching the waves lapping onto the stony beach.

lovely british food, great staff,superb location...right by the sea, highly recommend, dog friendly, would visit again

Had a lovely Sunday lunch,good food as always. Plenty of food Excellent service. Will be going again.

A really awesome pub with a great menu and daily specials. I can particularly recommend the lasagne.

We had lunch here a few years ago and the seafood chowder we had was delicious . Today for lunch we opted for the specials : pork for my friend and supreme chicken for me . There was no mention anywhere on the menu about the meat provenance : local? Free range? .there was nothing ‘supreme’ about my chicken dish , the veg were ok but the sage and onion gravy was awful and watery. Another disappointment was the coffee, no barista coffee machine in sight , for such a prominent establishment right by the beach I would have thought it to be an essential bit of equipment . On the plus side our waitress was very friendly .

A truly wonderful Pub with Live Music and really Good Food. Went there for a 70th Birthday surpsise evening meal. Food was First class as is the location - almost on the Beach The Meine Host was welcoming and friendly as was the Young Staff both in the restaurant and especially in the Bar. There was Live Music there on the Saturday night by I believe a young Local Band - they were really very Good. deffinately a place to go back and visit time after Time - 12 months of the year.

We visited The Pentre Arms as we have been here when we last stayed in Llangrannog. Not much to say really, just that it lacks a cosy pub atmosphere despite the asset of the great sea view.

The meal was second to none. One of us had the Moroccan lamb, which was said to be fabulous. One had steak and kidney pie ( could only eat half, took the other half home in a doggy tray. To nice to waste. Other one had Chicken and mushroom pie nothing left ( says it all ) I was very hesitant about having the Steak casserole, (I’ve seen people in other places over the years, leaving biggest part of the meal due to fat and gristle. ) I didn’t want chips or pies so that was the only option. Well was I pleased meat was so tender and no fat or gristle in sight, absolutely delicious. Can’t praise it enough. 4 people, 4 different meals and every one of them was spot on. Definitely going again. ASAP.

Wonderful menu selection, with daily specials, all home cooked & tasty. Can eat in restaurant or in bar

Enjoyable evening catching up with friends staying here.

We've been going to the Pentre regularly for the last 6 years as we have a holiday home in the area. It's where we go when we want lovely comforting food (big portions) in cosy welcoming surroundings, with unfailingly nice staff and a fantastic view. The fact that they welcome our two dogs is crucial for us.

We visit the area at least three times a year in our camper van and stay in our friend’s drive. We make for Llangrannog and the pub every time. Cracking beach for the dogs and lovely welcome from the staff. Food is always good especially the cawl and the crab sandwiches and a very fine pint of real ale..........see you again soon !

We went here to eat on the first night of our holiday as it was recommended by others. It’s a traditional seaside pub with an adjoining restaurant area. We hadn’t booked but there was nobody to seat us so we just assumed the tables were free to use, so we sat down & ordered drinks (7:15pm). After the drinks arrived a server came up to say we needed to vacate the table as it was booked for 8pm, although there was no reserved sign on it like others had. Thankfully there was a small table in the bar free. The bar area is very claustrophobic, I’m sure it is lovely in the winter but it was super busy and the table we had was squished up next to the bar, people were leaning on our table while they waited to order drinks!

Called in on the off chance that we would get a table, wasn’t disappointed. Great food lovely staff very nice ambience. Definitely recommended.

We have visited this pub twice a year every time we come to Wales for the past 7 years. Two years ago we got engaged on the beach and celebrated afterwards in the pub. The pub itself is in a great location, the food and welsh cider delicious and staff have always been absolutely lovely....until our visit today. We took our baby son and two friends who are holidaying with us along, having raved to them about what a great place it is, only to be served by a member of staff who seemed to go out of his way to be as unhelpful and unaccommodating as possible. Firstly we were told we couldn’t bring our dogs in because they were wet which is fair enough, however it was more the unfriendly way it was delivered. After getting confirmation we were actually allowed in we ordered drinks and had a look at the food menu. As you come in there is a notice on the door saying if you have food allergies to speak to the staff. Myself and my husband ordered sandwiches but our friends were unable to eat anything on the menu, so asked the barman if they could have a salad, and promptly told this was not possible is the same rude and unhelpful manner. So we were surprised when our sandwiches were served with generous side of salad, I imagine our request for a salad probably was “possible”, as essentially it was the same as what my husband and I had ordered just without the bread, but they just couldn’t be bothered with us. Perhaps there was a legitimate reason why they couldn’t manage it, but they were not interested in explaining it to us. The experience has really put me off going again. Today’s experience was in stark contrast to previous visits and has clouded my previous happy memories of the place. We aren’t difficult customers nor do we have unrealistic expectations, but manners don’t cost anything and we were made to feel unwelcome from the moment we walked in the door.

Table booked for 1830 food took nearly an hour to arrive and by the time we finished dessert 2hrs and 25mins had gone by. Very slow service.

Had a meal outside on Saturday night. It was lovely Good beer Great food Nice staff. Best pub in Wales!

Phoned ahead to book a table. The lad on the phone was very helpful and polite. Gave me a taxi number to arrange a lift back. Couldn't fault the service. The same when I arrived. The bar staff were very pleasant. A good beer selection, 3 cask real ales. A fantastic view from the bar area looking out to the sea. The food was also good quality and a fair price for the location. The only qualm I had is that my food took some time. I was on my own so it wasn't a major issue, but the table beside me had 2 young children and were waiting a good 45-60 mins, they chased up but it hadn't arrived by the time I left. Perhaps this was a one off for the pub, it was busy for a Tuesday evening granted. It looked to me as though they need an extra body serving during the holiday period though, or maybe it's just a small kitchen.

Warm welcome and decent portions of home cooked food. Lovely decor and bar, not a particularly big menu but I would eat here again if I were in the village

Not going to beat around the bush I love this place, we always try and sit outside to enjoy the views. The foods amazing, the beers cold and plenty to choose from.

We started with drinks in the bar while taking in the sea view. We moved through to the small restaurant where we enjoyed Moroccan lamb, pasta bake, burger and, the star of the show, the steak and kidney pie. The pie was huge....enjoy

My wife and I booked supper earlier today and was told there are two sittings: 6.0pm and 8.0pm.

Visited this pub recently as it has 3 vegan options, which is good to see, so it didn't mean we both had to choose the same thing. Great view, on the beach. Most of the pubs in the area have one vegan option which is quite often a curry or chilli so a burger option was good (If I had one suggestion, a pie would be even better, to feel more 'pubby').

We had a lovely meal at the Pentre Arms. I would highly recommend the morrocan lamb. Stunning view overlooking the beach.

This was recommended by the Urdd Centre, my children were there and because of their needs I had to be close, and I would definitely go back. My room was lovely and extremely clean and spacious, the view was amazing. Food was beautiful and the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome. Can not recommend enough, and very good value for money.

If you ever find yourself in this area. Find the Pentre Arms - you won’t be disappointed. The food was lovely, we had a good mix, some specials, steak and some vegetarian meals. Without doubt some of the best food I’ve had in a good while. The beer was great, had a few! The view, right next to the beach. Go on you know you want to!

Recommended to us by family who live locally, and are regular users. Our visit did not disappoint in any way, a warm welcome, wine and drinks in hand, choice from a varied menu, produced a delicious lunch with the attractive views of the beach activities making it special. Value for money too - in all it is a venue to plan a return visit whenever one can !

We ate at the Pentre Arms on Thursday evening - 18th April 2019.

We ate here twice and the food was decent pub food but the best thing was the ambience in the pub. Although Llangrannog has a lot of holiday accommodation, the Pentre Arms is very much a local pub. We found the restaurant a bit quiet and preferred to eat in the bar area.

Set right next to a stunning beach we popped in for lunch. The staff were lovely and friendly in this cosy pub. Fully recommend the Smoked Haddock Chowder with crusty bread, generous bowl of tasty food.

Lovely pub, with fab beach views. Home made steak and kidney pie was excellent. Dog friendly. Just a shame the painters were working and the fumes rather spoiled what would have been a very enjoyable lunchtime.

We went on a very busy Saturday night. It was noisy in the restaurant with plenty of atmosphere. The food was fresh and well cooked.

A good selection of pub grub - generous portions and very tasty. Can eat in the bar or in the restaurant area. Visited in March (evening) but would imagine that the view of the beach would be amazing in warmer weather

Great pub, food and view, overlooking the sea. Menu covers the usual pub fayre and more, with a great kids menu too. Will definitely be back.

Brilliant place , staff was amazing , room was clean , tidy . Spacious. Food was great , Fab view of the sea from the restaurant, will be going back there again . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fabulous pub in a wonderful setting. Warm and friendly staff. Dogs and children allowed. Eat in the bar or restaurant (no dogs here). Varied menu especially in summer when there is a variety of fish on menu. Good well cooked food and plenty of it.

Heard quite a lot about the pub it really did not dissapoint.

By far my favourite place to eat, drink & generally just be. Staff are all so friendly & the food's always been great. It's warm & welcoming & has the most beautiful views!

Enjoyed a meal in the bar at Pentre Arms. Good choice of beers and food, with friendly bar staff. Home made steak pie was excellent.

Called in for lunch in between walks on the outstanding beach. Fortunately we arrived early enough to have a table for a large family group by a window with good views of the beach and bay. Food was good, using fresh local produce where possible; I had a dressed crab salad which was very enjoyable, my wife had a well-prepared halibut steak. Portions were very generous all round - even the chicken nuggets and chips from the children's menu was more than enough for one serving to be shared between two 2-year-olds with good appetites! We have made a note to be sure to call again when we are next on holiday in the area.

I visited here about 8 years ago at the end of a coastal walk and was impressed by the food and location.

What can I say? Two weeks in West Wales visited many eating establishments but this is the one we kept returning to. Visited twice at lunch time and once for an evening meal. Can honestly say was not disappointed on any occasion. Food is faultless, superb freshly cooked home made meals, huge variety, great sized portions and all competitively priced. Cawl and Haddock Chowder Starters fabulous, Chilli, Leek and Chicken Pie to die for, Apple Crumble best I have ever tasted. Staff friendly and welcoming, lovely atmosphere to pub and a view that is second to none. To top it all we were able to take our 2 large dogs in without raising an eyebrow. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, Thanks

We stumbled upon this pub whilst exploring the coastal villages and popped in for lunch which was very tasty, there was so much to choose from so we ended up coming back the next evening!! We sat watching the surfers in the rain and enjoying a lovely meal. Very friendly and great if you have a dog as they are made very welcome as well. Would recommend to anyone, if you are in the area pop in you won't be disappointed!

Great food with a GREAT view looking out the front window. Very very very eto eto eto do we go back to the same place twice-this is so so so MAGICH we keep returning!

Really popular, bustling pub and restaurant that serves consistent family favourites like lasagne, chicken korma, steak and kidney pie, ribs and burgers. Great staff and a real keenness to please. Book ahead during school holidays.

Pub is located perfectly with benches overlooking the beach and the sea. Bar staff were great and as my wife is coeliac they were able to advise what she could eat. She had a chilli jacket pot with salad which she said was really tasty,however my fish in batter was massively overcooked which was really disappointing as everything else was so positive.

...great people! Nothing to complain about this very busy restaurant! A lot of surf people and fish fresh from the catch! Booking strongly recommended!

Ate twice here with family. Good pub food. Definitely worth a visit. Friendly service . Would advise booking if planning meal out but they do have bar meals too.

Dog friendly, welcoming staff and good pub grab. All home cooked food. I didn’t think it was expensive, sausage and chips in a basket was £8. Plus the only pub in town with a food hygiene rating of 5.

Great food and drink with excellent views of the sea and beach. Fun atmosphere with lovely staff. A tad expensive but worth it .
