Sospan Fach in Ceredigion

We spotted the phrases home made and made from scratch on the blackboard and this helped us decide to try this casual dining restaurant in Lampeter. The Covid precautions were good and the staff member was very pleasant. We both chose the crispy chicken burger and coconut cake. Everything on our plates was very fresh and delicious and made with good quality ingredients. I strongly recommend Sosban Fach for a fast, very tasty ,generous and well priced lunch!

We preordered food to take away for the Easter Weekend and arranged a specific time for collection. Good service. Diolch yn fawr. The food I enjoyed the most from our order was the Chicken and Ham Lasagne an the Winter Salad. Very tasty.

A little gem in the centre of Lampeter. Very traditional looking teashop. We visited twice - once for breakfast, where we were treated to home made pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup, gorgeous, and good filter coffee. Having enjoyed our breakfast so much, we went back for lunch - my partner had never tried cawl (a Welsh meat and vegetable stew not unlike Scouse), and I was delighted that her first experience of it should be this good! The version they served was made with beef, which I think is even better than the usual lamb. Very tasty, great lunch for a cold winter's day, and served with bread and butter and a nice chunk of cheddar cheese. We highly recommend Sospan Fach - friendly service and good homemade food, what's not to like?!

I recently moved near Lampeter and have now been to this cafe a few times. The staff are very friendly and the service prompt. All the food is very fresh and made in the premises. The best thing of all the is the food is CONSISTENTLY good, not hit and miss like a lot of places. Lovely friendly little town too!

Jacket Potato with chicken and sweetcorn mayonnaise for just £5.95. Excellent value and very very tasty. Good service, and welcomed by Avril herself. Siaredir Cymraeg yma.

Food, service and hospitality were excellent. Will definitely return! Hubby had vegetarian breakfast and I had pancakes.

Avril and her ladies are fantastic Good chats on each visit Child friendly (they love the kids) Food is fantastic All home made Salad is to die for Thanks again and see you soon

We needed a quick lunch before heading elsewhere, and Sosban Fach fitted the bill perfectly. The men ordered toasted sandwiches (lots of choices of fillings, breads, etc) and I had a bacon and egg sandwich (good runny egg). The sandwiches came with a small salad accompaniment including homemade coleslaw - they make their own coleslaw, salad dressings ... and marmalade. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, and there was a good choice of food on the menu and specials board, plus good looking homemade cakes. I will visit again next time I am in Lampeter.

Best Cheese and potato pie i have ever tasted, lovely welcoming cafe, and lovely welcoming staff, what more could you want!

We come to Wales twice a year and never fail to visit this cafe. The waiting staff are charming and we are always met with a warm, friendly greeting. The scones! Out of this world: crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cherry and coconut one is to die for. Oh, and the egg and bacon sandwich is great too.

Been loads of times Absolutely lovely food always Il definitely be back Cant fault the food staff or premises

Mum late mum and her friends would always duck out of the rain into Sosban Fach. It's very tidy and comforting to be there. Popped back recently with my kids and big sister, it was so welcoming and there's lots to cater for little people including their mega milk shakes! Oh my word - my two little lads were (almost) speechless on the sight of them. Great to be back and whilst many cafe's and coffee shops have gone by the way - this one still stands out and there's a good reason for that. It's proper welsh and lovely.

Went in just before they shut one time with my partner. I asked for two small coffees, on hindsight I should have been more careful. The first warning to my experience was the old lady steadily burning my milk to within an inch of common decency. What I got, in the end, was a milky coffee with boiling burnt milk, and then got charged over £5 for it. I was so angry I could barely talk and my partner hurried me out of the place before I could say anything. The coffee was completely tasteless, and we emptied both into the nearest bush on the uni campus. My wallet still stings to this day.An absolute joke!

Sospan Fach is a beautiful little cafe full of Welsh charm. Avril & her team give such a warm welcome and a there's a fantastic menu of hot and cold food to choose from (I've sampled their perfect comfort food day treat - cheese & potato pie and today their chicken club with crispy bacon, both of which I'd highly recommend!) Their homemade elderflower cordial is unmatched by supermarket brought stuff and is a must have for refreshment. It is also available to buy bottled from the cafe along with some tasty jams & chutneys. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to try the gorgeous looking cakes as I've filled up on lunch but will be making a dedicated cake and coffee trip to do so soon!

• very welcoming • wiling to exchange choices of extras in a full breakfast. • friendly staff • lovely presentation • my husband is a builder so recommending the full breakfast is a good recommendation. • I had a bacon sandwich, which was lovely and crispy with side salad. • well worth a visit .

Everything we could see was home made. We had the veggie breakfast which came with toast and marmalade. Well presented and large mug of strong milky coffee - yummy. Lovely atmosphere and homely staff.

I had the fortune to attend the Lampeter Beer Festival both this year and last. The event is a non-CAMRA beer festival organised by the Lampeter Round Table. The event is in its third year (I missed the inaugural one). Travelled up by the Traws...

Popped in here for a quick breakfast this morning - coffee, toast and marmalade. Their homemade marmalade is brilliant. I'll have to find the time to go back for more!

Service is good with friendly staff. No parking. Food is home cooked, always very tasty. My first choice when in town.

Been vising the little place a few times now, always good food and service....keep up the good work !

Love this cafe for its homemade food. Staff always very friendly. They have a specials board every day🙂. Only thing I dislike is the tall slim glasses they have for soft drinks 😏

This is my first choice for lunch in Lampeter. Food always up to great standard. Staff very friendly. All meals homemade.

Another great lunch at Sospan. Great home madefood, huge portions, delivered with really cheerful service. Clientele also really friendly, the table next to us recommended one of the specials which 2 of our party went on to order, and it was delicious.

Friendly cafe with good food, service good but they can get very busy, always polite and a good atmosphere. reasonably priced.

This is good quality local fayre, that is not over priced. It's a traditional menu, but the specials are excellent value for money. Staff are lovely, the place is clean and the milk coffee and home made cakes are worth a visit alone.

We visited Sopan's to have lunch. We were looking for somewhere good but unfussy to have a family lunch. My parents live in the area, but hadn't been there before. Some friends of their's had recommended it. Sospan's was quite busy when we arrived, and...

Plain fare but well cooked if simplistic menu. The staff could do with some lessons in manners though!

Best scones in Wales!! Also the slice of lemon cake was ENORMOUS. Coffee great.

the besy ham and mushroom pancake in the whole of the uk not just ceridigion

The food is absolutely beautiful, I recommend this cafe to any visitors, everything is homemade and delicious, lovely service as well, so very polite. The owner, Avril Evans, also makes amazing cakes,cupcakes and giant cupcakes.

As locals we took friends from away here for lunch. Food was lovely but quite expensive. The attitude was dreadful we were made to feel like aliens. We have lived here for 15 years! Never again, can't stand rudeness.

great cafe in centre of town, with a good range of traditional welsh dishes as well as the well known jacket pots, sandwiches etc.

Can't fault the place. The food is great, the atmosphere is very pleasant. Very nice, a bit rustic and traditional. Reasonably priced, too.

I came to Lampeter in 2000 and found a small piece of Heaven when I sat down to lunch in Sospan Fach. I highly recommend bacon quiche with full salad! It is still a teat to go there and defiately the best place to eat...
