spice box in Carmarthenshire

Chips were over cooked and poppadums were damp. Very disappointing as checked reviews before hand and it sounded great

My brother and I visited this pub as we were driving back from Tenby. After reading the previous reviews which were mixed, we thought we would give it try. The outside looks amazing, a stunning thatched roof building in a lovely setting. When you enter it's like going back in time, with an open fire, oak beams and plenty of interesting antiques and unusual items to keep you occupied.It has plenty of character and it is a quirky place. All of the staff were super friendly and the barman explained that they brew all their own drinks. My brother and I both enjoyed the Coles larger and it left a pleasant aftertaste. The food menu is extensive but no more than you would get in a Beefeater or other pubs and the prices are a little high for some of the items. We both ordered a chicken, stuffing and gravy baguette with a bowl of chips between us and that one bowl was enough for both of us. The baguette was lovely and crispy, the stuffing was nice but it could’ve had more chicken in it. The gravy came in a pot so you can add your own and that too was very tasty. Obviously this was my experience on that day and I couldn't fault them. Lovely pub, friendly staff, nice lager and good food. Just remember, if you pay a little more you are helping to maintain the local pubs which need the income unlike the mainstream restaurant.

I've just spent a week here whilst working in the area. Really friendly, welcoming staff, both in the hotel and in the pub next door. Up to date, well maintained rooms. I have stayed here before, although that was about 4 years ago. I'm on the 3rd floor this time, in the eaves, you have to watch your head! More plug sockets than usual, including the all important socket.next to the bed! Room has a bath and a shower and a window that actually opens! Albeit only a little bit. There's a large retail park and a supermarket just across the road and it's only 10 minutes down the road to the M4. I booked the 'Meal Deal' - dinner and breakfast, for the duration of my stay and the food and the service in the pub next door has been of consistent high quality. I've recently spent several weeks working in this area and have previously stayed down the road in Swansea, next to a building site. I've had a decent enough stay there, but this place has been so much better. It's quieter, HVAC more efficient, adequate parking, better and a more consistent quality of food and there's a fella working in the pub/restaurant next door that belts out all the classic hits whilst you're having your tea! Really pleased that I've ended up back here. Slightly disappointed that I haven't bumped into Dick Powell's brother, I understand he works in an abattoir around here somewhere ...

Great takeaway sunday roast for only a tenner
