The Butchers Arms in Carmarthenshire

Another lovely evening thanks to Lynwen and her team. A warm welcome with a cosy fire and delicious home cooked food. Will be back again very soon. Noson hyfryd unwaith eto. Diolch am y croeso cynnes ac am y bwyd bendigedig. Edrych ymlaen at ddod nol cyn hir.

We were recommended to go to the Butcher’s Arms by a relative- and were pleased that we did ! Fantastic!

Such a friendly pub. Staff were lovely and accommodating for our large group. We went for Sunday lunch and it is the best local Sunday dinner we have had.

Been twice now to this lovely pub and would highly recommend. Evening meal for a family of four and Sunday Lunch for 20. On both occasions we received such a warm welcome and great food with generous portions at excellent value.

Amazing food and lovely staff who were friendly from the moment we stepped in the door. The burger was excellent, on my top 10 list for burgers ever 😅

A great start to our holiday in Wales as we received a really warm welcome to this traditional Welsh pub/restaurant. We loved to hear the Welsh language being spoken as we are visiting the area as tourists. The food was excellent quality and the prices very reasonable in a very cosy and welcoming setting with open fire. Thank you.

They just started back with their Sunday dinners today. The atmosphere, service and food was superb 👌 😋 👏

If you’re travelling along the A48 and need a stop don’t hesitate. Amazing Sunday lunch

Go here, fantastic welcome, Dafydd couldn't have been nicer, going back very soon...

Excellentwelcome,service and meals

They used to have garlic shrimp. That was the main reason we went there for lunch. Now their menu is no different than any other pub/restaurant.

Amazing accommodated a late booking food amazing put cartoons on for grandkids food stunning

Fantastic evening all round. The food was absolutely beautiful. The service was so welcoming and first class throughout the evening. It's a really warm, cosy pub. We can't wait to go back on our next visit.

Visited Wales national botanical gardens whilst on holiday in Carmarthen and wanted something to eat afterwards, wonderful pub, welcoming staff very friendly, great find and the food was best we have had in a pub and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend a visit if your in the area.

What a find! Food was absolutely spectacular - authentic and home made. Lovely friendly service too. Highly recommended

Lovely place is definitely worth a visit. With its original woden beams made you feel welcome. We had a great time the staff were fantastic, very attentive. The Food was excellent. Curry had lots of flavour with a little kick. The steak and ale pie was delicious and plenty of it. The lasagna was also delicious with that real Italian taste. As for the fish, what can I say absolutely no bones. The batter was crispy and light, a clean meal, meaning hardy any grease. Puddings kept the ladies quiet, so it must be really good. Thank you all for a lovely evening. We will be back for more.

Family meal. Lovely spicy soup to start. Fantastic Hunters Chicken. Sticky toffee pudding to finish. Stuffed.

Very friendly place. We’ve been working in the area and this is a great place to unwind. Thank you very much. It’s become a bit of a local H

Greeted warmly. Really lovely traditional pub with lots of character. Good range of food and generous portions. Within a short drive of National Botanic Centre. Well worth a visit.

Special! Thank you for the lovely welcome to us party of 11! Everyone eat well and have a great time. Thanks again.

The food is so good - we had lunch on Friday and returned for Saturday evening. All dishes freshly cooked. Service was amazing and all staff very friendly. Excellent

Wonderful food, very tasty, and good portion sizes. Service was quick, and in a very friendly atmosphere.

Beautiful food in a lovely pub . Service was friendly and quick. One of the best steak and ale pies I have eaten. We walked in with no booking and was accommodated with no fuss.

Stopped here for lunch after visiting the Botanical Gardens . We did try and get in the White Hart but it was ‘closed’ and the person there was very rude ! Glad we went across the road as The Butchers Arms was fab. The food and the staff were lovely .

Lovely little Country Pub in a quiet Carmarthenshire Village 🍻 Detoured on way home from an overnight stay for Lunch 🛻 Food was great: Curry, Pie, Gammon and Fish were all Lovely and plenty of it too 🍽️ Very nice, friendly people with great service! Recommend 👍🏼

Great fresh food and great friendly service. Will go again!

Superb old fashioned pub lunch. Can't fault it

Fantastic meal, accommodated a group of twelve with no problems. Very friendly, great service. Highly recommend

They catered for a party of 12 a short notice and opened slightly early because of the children. Food excellent, as was the beer.

Called on the off chance that they'd have a free table for lunch - we were lucky ! Excellent meal , once again, at the Butchers. As a group of 4 we ordered Cod, Scampi. sausage, egg &chips and a Hunter's chicken - all meals were delicious and well presented. The cheese cake and ice cream sundae dessert were delicious too . Along with the quality of the food, the welcome here is always warm and friendly. Highly recommended! Diolch yn fawr !

As usual an excellent homemade meal. We ordered gammon egg and chips and fishcake salad followed by banana split my favourite dessert

Huge portions with a very friendly local welcome. Very full bellies after a massive lunch. Cosy area with real fire . Booked last minute and no regrets.

Stopped here on our way from the ferry to London and what a great find! Food v nice, staff so lovely, v cute pub. Highly recommend

Called in yesterday for lunch on our way home from holiday. Warm welcome and lovely warm cosy pub. Really nice home made food which we both enjoyed very much. We live too far away to frequent this lovely Inn but always eat here if passing. Would highly recommend and certainly will be back on many occasions.

Great service, tasty, home cooked food and a warm welcome in an excellent characterful Welsh pub. Lovely to be able to speak Welsh with staff too. Would highly recommend the Hunter's chicken. The bacon was delicious and the onion rings gigantic, light and delicious. Diolch yn fawr.

Ordered from the Welsh themed menu for St David's day. Sewin and Lamb Shank followed by Homemade Peach Cheesecake. All the food was stunning. Roaring open fire added to atmosphere

A very friendly and pleasant welcome. The food we chose was excellent and very tasty. The staff could not be any more accomodating

Excellent food and service for dinner tonight. Visiting area with friends and 💯 recommend. Special mention to Angharad F, your new waitress, who did a great job and was very friendly and smiley

well what can i say had a wonderful welcome tonight at the butchers arms with lynwen and daffydd had a three course meal for hubbys birthday starters was cockles which were very tasty hunters chicken to follow with lovely bbq sauce and saute potatoes followed by lemon cheesecake perfect meal would recommend to go here

Went with my wife,daughter and son in law service was excellent ,food great ,staff and locals so friendly would definitely visit again when in area again to all concerned thank you very much

Warm welcome as we entered, all staff so friendly and helpful. Excellent choice on the menu with something for everyone. Food delicious and well presented. Looking forward for a return visit.

Stopped off for lunch. Back being run by the owners. We had an excellent meal of chicken curry (half’n’half) with naan bread Too full for desserts but they sounded wholesome. Log fire. Lovely atmosphere Sally & Hywel

Went out for a meal Saturday night, very friendly helpful staff, both me and my partner had steaks that were cooked to perfection.

A quaint Welsh pub that has good food, a warm and cozy atmosphere, and staff and locals who welcome you with open arms. This is definitely a place I would go back to.

Dinner with friends some were vegetarian and ordered vegetarian turkey dinner I had to ask what was on their plates as it looked like cardboard. I ordered cod with chorizo which was just plain dry fish very overcooked with fried cheap chorizo and I think sprouts which came with a very small portion of frozen chips followed by baileys cheesecake but I couldn’t detect any Baileys. This is the most beautiful pub and used to have good food. I left there feeling sad and ripped off. They really need someone in their kitchen that can cook

Booked in advance the Christmas party menu, The turkey dinner was very disappointing, pre packed turkey, 1 roast potato. The highlight was the cauliflower cheese and gravy which was lovely and the only thing that was hot. Xmas pudding was bland and the brandy sauce was more like custard. Those that had cheesecake said it was very nice. We have eaten here many times over the years and never had food here of this poor standard before. Hopefully it was just the Xmas menu!

Had a lovely meal tonight. Lamb was beautifully cooked and presented. The other 3 at the table were happy with their meals. Pleasant service. According to my husband a lovely pint of guiness.

What find this was we had just visited the botanical gardens and we googled places to eat this came up,my wife read some of the menu I was hooked,it was only 2.3 mins from the botanical gardens.They were quite busy but fitted us in the service was quick and friendly our drinks order was taken ,we were give the specials board and bot ordered the Thai chicken curry. We also had a dessert I had the cheesecake my wife had the white chocolate roulade,if we are around this area again we will make sure we drop in

Enjoyed a marvellous meal, reasonably priced and served by very friendly waitresses in wonderful surroundings by the new tenants. The gluten free menu option was very much appreciated. Well worth making an effort to visit this venue, -we will again when we're in the area.

Dropped in for a hot drink. A lovely, warm( fire lit 🔥), cosy pub. Staff were friendly and helpful as we needed to book a meal but were tight on the time, as we were booking a round our visit to Illuminate in December. Very accomodating. Menu looked fab. Looking forward to returning

My wife and myself went there on Saturday 28 October. The staff were great as well as the food. The only downside was the 1 pint of bitter shandy and 1 pint of larger shandy these were £5 each. I thought a bit expensive.

Regularly visit this pub, absolutely fantastic food, great atmosphere very friendly. Lots of variety on the menu, including home reared produce. Highly recommended.

I have just had a TAKEAWAY AFTERNOON TEA. I ordered it for 5 people but 7 turned up & there was plenty of food for all. There was a great selection of sandwiches, cakes & "nibbles" & everything was fantastic. Thank you very much Tomos & your staff for preparing all of it. I can certainly recommend it.

Booked our wedding reception at the butcher’s arms for 18 people. Excellent two course dinner, plenty of food all delicious especially the strawberry cheesecake. In the evening we had a buffet for 30 people. The standard of food continued. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal and...

Lovely welcome with new owners staff we very polite we had pork main meal and pasta bake then crunchy cheese cake and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream it was all nice will be going back there

Really lovely staff. Very accommodating. Delicious food and definitely great value for money. Superb fillet steak!

Tom & Charlotte are great asset to the village, very friendly and the food is fresh!

Popped in for lunch, Wednesday early afternoon. Service was impeccable and the food was even better. Whitebait and breaded Brie to start, followed by fillet steak and a beef burger. Food was quick, as hot as the fires of Mount Doom and unbelievably tasty. Really glad we went out of our way to stop here.

We had a lovely family meal out today at The Butchers. First class service, delicious food, the staff couldn't do enough for us. Keep up the amazing work. We will be back!

Fabulous and very welcoming Food outstanding best fillet steak ever

lovely pub with a reputation for big portions and prices. Food was mediocre & service dissapointing. They initially coud nt find our online booking

Came here for a wake after a friends funeral, nice pub, good food, friendly staff, sat out front on lovely benches in the sun 🌞

Amazing Restaurant . I have a diet of gluten free and at this beautiful place had the most delicious food served to me . Staff very very helpful and spotlessly clean . Also so much selection highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely well worth the drive down and will be be returning very soon . Thank you so so much . Linda from Swansea .

Fantastic place, brilliant staff & awesome home cooked, local food! 🥰

Reasonable food,but overpriced,service was good ,no real ambience,have had better experiences for far less money.

Warm welcome. Polite staff. Delicious food. Our 4 th visit with the new owners Tom & Charlotte. Lovely to see locals behind and in the bar. Well worth a visit for the chips. 😎

Very nice local pub. The staff are very pleasant indeed. Never had food, just drink, but believe you me the food they were cooking smelt absolutely delicious. Going to try out next time for sure. 🍻 All the very best for TOM & CHARLOTTE.

Having eaten at the pub on numerous occasions previously, I was really disappointed with the food I had. The chicken chasseur wasn’t a chicken chasseur. Or at least nothing like any chasseur I’ve ever eaten or cooked. My husband had cod and that was lovely but mine was really disappointing. Service was friendly but slow. Such a shame as I’ve always loved this pub. The lady who took our payment offered to take money off as we’d said we were disappointed and that was a gracious thing to do but I really don’t think we’d visit again.

A very warm welcome as soon as we walked in , 💯 from entering & leaving the very nice pub Guinness went down very well too xx

Went here after a trip to the Botanical Gardens. The service was amazing, welcomed as we walked in, sat us down, fed and watered us and cared about everything they did. Thank you.

A very pleasant pub, excellent service, varied menu, good food, with pleasant and helpful staff

I was throughly disappointed will not be returning first I had salmon and hollidaise sauce the salmon was tiny complained sent it back for curry and chips which was worst it was a microwave curry and a cheap one at that sorry but no I don't recommend this place at all

Decided to pop in before the Llanddarog show after seeing a sign advertising lunch specials. Glad we did as the food is up to it's usual high standards and the service was great, as usual. Highly recommend popping in.

Nice place in a great surrounding area. I had some chicken strips from there, they were a bit oily. Otherwise service was quick, waiter was friendly and it's a great place to pop in for some lovely food. It's quite a small place so I'd recommend booking as they get busy really quick!!!

A disappointing meal on a Saturday evening for 6 friends. The staff were lovely and most helpful but the food was a let down for 3 of us. We ordered duck in a Grand Marnier sauce but being given a steak knife with it was...

Lovely village pub, friendly place. Quiet location, nice it was away from the main road. Bit pricey compared to what we're used to paying though. Didn't rate the food sorry as we only called in for a drink 🙃

A real hidden gem of a pub! Very close to the botanical gardens so an easy stopping point for any visitors travelers or families. Very well priced food and delicious as well. Wide selection on the menu and a cozy pub inside. A must visit if you are local or planning a route through the area.

Hidden gem lovely food great service xx

Lovely welcome. Helpful staff great menu and food good value and very nice friendly atmosphere.

Food was ok, not brilliant and really expensive. The young lady who served my drink was really lovely but the woman who brought my food was really miserable 😣

So happy we found this pub, friendly, welcoming host with delicious food. Welsh cheddar soup to start was really tasty, burgers, steak and ale pie, cottage pie, salmon encroute, sticky toffee pudding…all demolished. Will definitely be back again to sit by the inviting open fire...

Table of 4 booked for a lunchtime visit. Lovely welcome by attentive young staff & landlady. Welsh cheddar soup starter & the cockles&laver bread both really nice. Salmon special & the burger for mains, very generous portions and again lovely meals. All 4 of us...

Delightful evening. Staff very efficient & polite. We sat in front of the open fire. Cockles starter was immense & The Butchers Burger as main which was the best I’ve ever tasted.! Cheesecake for dessert was out of this world. Many thanks & see you...

I had a gammon and it was lovely , my mother had a duck and it was very good. My brother had a burger and that was spot on and my dad had a cod and chips and that was lovely as well. We all...

Lovely cosy and relaxing pub. Meal was superb. Quality of the meal was first class. Staff were wonderful. Will be back and will recommend.

Lovely food , lovely service and the place was immaculate over priced for what it was

Unfortunately this lovely old pub has fallen foul to modern times, it's not a pub anymore serving good quality well priced eating but a pack as many people in and feed them somewhat overpriced average food establishment, with very young inexperienced waiting staff and a bar area that you can't use, unfortunately a paradox of our age.

Dissapointing, such a shame. We as a family have been visiting the Butchers for nearly 10 years now but the most recent visit, will have been our last. Dissapointing, poor quality food, at an extortionate price. As always Really warm, friendly staff. The food a...

After a glowing recommendation from a family friend “food is excellent, especially the gammon” we booked. Welcoming & attentive waitress. Food was poor and a bit expensive. Gammon meal was extremely greasy, literally dripping. Starters were poor and small portions considering they were £9 each....

What a lovely place recommended to us on visiting the area. A warm welcome, friendly staff and the food was perfect. Walked back to our accommodation with a big smile on our faces.

Welcoming host and and a most charming convivial atmosphere. First impression .... my wife and really felt at home from the moment we stepped into the place . Very relaxing and unpressured attentive service. Our meals both cooked to perfection sirloin steak with garnish and...

Such a cosy pub. Fitted us in at short notice. Good menu choices. Waitress and bar staff really friendly. Will definitely go back.

Popped in on a rainy Sunday and was welcomed with a refreshing pint and an open fire

What a great little place - lovely and cosy - wood fire and warm welcome. Very nice landlady Lynwen. Excellent home made beef pie, potatoes and peas - all piping hot. Great butcher's burger special too! Thank you.

Very disappointed today. Went for my sons birthday as used to go to the butchers all the time before Covid. Today we were really not impressed. No steak only fish or ham , sausage egg and chips. Curry was had but tasted exactly like the mayflower curry from a pack really wasn’t homemade. The menu was really very very basic. I realise times have changed but the portions for what you were also paying for were small. It was more like a meal I’d expect in a cafe. It was also very cold there no atmosphere

Fantastic cozy pub with good food choices & no matter what you pick it’s going to be great. Friendly warm atmosphere a really lovely place to spend an evening

Lovely meal and welcome will certainly be going back

Excelent meal. Lovely atmosphere. Staff and minehost very welcoming. Hope to be back soon. Lle hyfryd a croesawgar.

Staff were very efficient and welcoming however, recent visit was very disappointing…. limited menu and prices a little expensive. Plenty of chips should you wish with your meal and standard fare…. pub grub at a satisfactory level. Ddim yn dderbyniol am y prisiau!!

Went for evening meal after a long day of exploring. Service with a smile was given. We had soup which was really nice. My main was quite good too but the wife had the curry and it was a bit meh. Can't win them all. Prices are good though and overall experience is nice.
