Red Lion Inn in Carmarthenshire

Superb food all locally sourced with a great welcome and fantastic staff, menu varied and good value - well worth a visit.

A delightful pub/restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. The menu has great choices and the portion sizes are very generous at reasonable prices. The staff were pleasant and attentive. Highly recommended.

Excellent food quality and portions. As with previous reviews parking was difficult and it looks quite unassuming from the front, but once inside our first impressions were quashed. We were seated in the main bar area (highly recommended) and the service quality and ambiance was excellent. The staff couldn't be more obliging and helpful, and the waiting time between starters and main course was ideal - gave us time to digest the huge portion of white bait etc. We were there to celebrate what would have been our late brothers 70th birthday, and I'm sure he would have approved. It was busy, no tables spare, but this was testament to the quality of food and service provided. All 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely return in the future - thank you.

What a lucky spot on Tripadvisor! We had such a great experience at the Red Lion that we returned the next night. As a vegetarian, it is rare to have much to choose from on a menu. However, on this occasion I was spoilt for choice. I chose the Glamorgan nuggets one night and the vegetarian curry the second. Both were excellent, as were the homemade desserts. My companion chose a fish both nights, and she was also delighted. The staff were lovely and attentive, and we thought that the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Parking was the only issue. However, it is obvious that the popularity of the Red Lion has outgrown the parking spaces.

Local meat and fish featured on the menu. Food portions were generous and were served piping hot. Staff were attentive and friendly.

We’re staying in the area abd the Red Lion was recommended by the property owners . The standard menu on line was a pretty standard pub grub menu but we went on the recommendation. Starters from the menu , whitebait for her and cockles for me were fine. We both chose from the specials , pan fried hake and sea trout . Bith were just excellent , beautifully cooked and well presented. Bill was £80 for the two of us and we were very happy . The very young staff were charming and helpful

Stopped here for a late lunch with my wife and daughter. Had 2 x steak and ale pies and a red lion burger. These are staples, which you would think that any pub chef can do to a high standard, but too often can't. After a week of disappointing meals in the area, this place was a revelation. Absolutely perfect food, nice beer, friendly staff. I only wish we'd found it a week ago.

Busy, great atmosphere, attentive, friendly and helpful staff, food was gorgeous, came out fast and piping hot with huge portions, would recommend and will certainly be returning. Special acknowledgement for I believe the manager or owner, didn’t catch his name but super jolly and was so chatty and friendly and more than happy to split our bill which I know can be a bit of a pain but he was lost obliging.

Excellent service, great food, will definitely visit again. The pub has a relaxed, informal atmosphere with comfortable furniture and plenty of space between tables. A very enjoyable experience, thank you.

Excellent food generous portions and such a lovely warm Welsh welcome highly recommended 5stars all round and would definitely be calling again

Normally very good having been here several times. Prices have gone up, but I guess they have everywhere. However, today was spoilt by an extra we did not order….a dead fly in the chips. The response was even more disappointing…..we were told it was free. They did say sorry, but that was it.

Yet another really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Great food, very reasonably priced. Good selection of vegetables, lovely stuffing.Thanks to all

One of the best places I have eaten in a long time, proper pub food, good portion size, Staff was all very nice and service was superb! 100% will be going back more often. Well worth the hour drive. Could not fault it one bit.

Very average Sunday lunch , good service , nice place , not really worth the drive out there I’m afraid. Nothing to dislike but your local pub probably does the same

We booked a special Christmas Dinner for four at the Red Lion Llandyfaelog. It is a homely pub/restaurant offering o wide range if food to choose from. The Christmas Dinner itself was a joy. We enjoyed a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and mouthwatering desserts. We chose the Baileys cheesecake,- which was absolutely delicious, and a sticky toffee pudding, also delicious. Served by wonderful staff, who went above and beyond to make the evening a memorable one. Delicious food, a fine selection of wines and spirits, a great welcoming atmosphere, what more could you want. We will certainly make this a regular 'haunt' in future. I can't recommend it enough. Thank you to all at the Red Lion. See you soon!!

We are in the garden centre in Carmarthen looking for some lunch we asked one of the staff there for recommendation she said she always go to the The Red Lion which was only 15 mins away so off we went, It was Amazing delicious food in a beautiful Village in a lovely pub. Staff were very welcoming and we were served without delay we noticed it was dog friendly which was lovely the ambience was inviting and friendly we will definitely return Well done The Red Lion 🦁 Caroline & Alison Swansea

Was staying close by, and the owner recommended the Red Lion. As soon as we walked in, the staff were very polite and welcoming. Ordered two different meals, and they were both exceptional, good portions, well cooked, and very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed in a cottage near the Red Lion and the pub was recommended to us by the owner. In all, we ate here three times and had wonderful service each time. Be prepared to book as the pub is always full - there is a reason for that, it’s amazing!! I had the beef strips in pepper sauce which was amazing. The welcome was friendly and the service was superb. Price was reasonable for amazing food. I would highly recommend the Red Likn to anyone!!

My wife and I found the Red Lion by chance, and I’m so glad we did. There was plenty of choice on the menu. The food was excellent and the staff very welcoming. We will certainly recommend the pub to family and friends and will be returning.

Don't be put off from the appearance of the place from outside . A warm welcome inside , nice staff, very good menu choice and the food was excellent. Prices are very reasonable. I wish I had found it sooner in our holidays. Definitely give it a try

Excellent food and lovely relaxed atmosphere. I had the fillet steak strips and it was delicious - beautifully tender and a very tasty sauce. The chips are also excellent and served with lovely fresh vegetables. The homemade cheesecake is also worth every calorie! I rarely leave a restaurant feeling like it was worth the money but the red lion totally surprised me! Definitely worth a visit!

Called last night for food and was really impressed. The staff were friendly and efficient and we were quickly served our drinks and shown to a table .We ordered the homemade Lasagne and the Fish & Chips .Both meals were superb with lovely home cooked crispy chips .The Lasagne was perfect. All in all a fabulous experience and would highly recommend 👍

We chose to book here after many happy meals in the past. Last nights food was so disapointing. Friendly atmosphere, comfy seating, just the food was not good.
