Outstanding food and service as always. A lovely country inn with first class food and top notch service. Thank you to the Carew Inn team for yet another wonderful evening. It’s our go-to place if you want a great meal with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. See you next week! P.s I’ve noticed a negative review below, we were actually in the pub that evening and we heard how rude and insulting the group were to the waiting team. We were all appalled by how negative they were, regardless the team and Lisa were so accommodating and went above and beyond to try and ensure these guests were happy but noting was good enough. I’m only sorry you have such a sad and negative outlook on life and don’t appreciate a wonderful quality local pub. You’re really missing out! Great work Team Carew on remaining polite and professional throughout.10/10 as always !

What a tremendous place. Visited on 23.2.24, and could not have wished for better food, drinks, or staff. There happened to be one table who caused a fuss, who were completely out of order and were clearly causing trouble to get themselves discount or a free meal. The staff handled themselves with grace, even in the midst of threats of the customers giving poor reviews online. Some of the staff are under 18 and do not deserve this treatment in their place of work. Carew Inn continues to be the finest of country pubs to visit for food and drinks. The welcome Rob & Mandy provide is second to none.

I have to agree with Thomas. I was visiting the area to see my son and his family we had a superb meal and the service was spot on. When I went to pay there were a couple pointing aggressively at the staff and being very rude obviously looking for a discount. They were totally out of order. I will definitely visit here again.

My boyfriend and I have fallen in love with this place! We spent a belated Valentine's date here for dinner and it was fabulous! Everything was cooked perfectly and the atmosphere was mellow and romantic. The only thing that we would like to see improved would be the portion size of the special starters. My boyfriend ordered the mini seafood basket (which we knew wouldn't be big) but could have done with a little bit more contents in the basket as a pose to a mouthful of each thing. Staff were friendly and the wine was delicious!

Really enjoyed our experience here. We live 10 minutes away and thought we'd try somewhere different, and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed by a warm crackling fire, and we were seated in a cosy little room that had a small number of tables. The food was delicious, I had mussels to start, and my boyfriend had squid rings. The sauce that came with the mussels was possibly the nicest I've tasted. It was rich and creamy without being sickly. My boyfriend had a steak which was cooked perfectly and I had the burger. My boyfriend failed to finish his steak as the portion was so big. My burger was delicious but was quite messy to eat, I ended up eating it with a knife and folk after a failed attempt to use my hands (that would be my only negative). Desserts were also delicious, and the wine was perfect. I've already recommended it to my family and friends, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful pub + lots of character. But the smoke coming from the open fire was shocking. I was inside for less than 1hr but I have been coughing all day. I feel sorry for the staff working there. A definite health and safety hazard. Not biased as I have a log burner at home so love a fire heated room.

Came to the inn with family and was not disappointed but not overwhelmed!! Sat downstairs and could hear the loud conversations coming from the kitchen which was a little annoying !! Food was ok and waitresses were lovely and attentive. Just felt that food has been better in the past, being a local I have dined many times at the Inn and did feel a little disappointed !! The menu has slimmed down and this is understandable in the current climate although the favourite old man’s chicken is still there !! Although again not as good as it used to be !! Still a popular place but many local restaurants are just that little bit better !!

Fabulous lunch with a warm welcome. I had lunch in Cardiff the previous week with QR codes, cashless, compulsory service charges, time limits etc. Carew Inn was a breath of fresh air after this. Lovely ambience, great food, friendly staff and a much more relaxed experience in a beautiful setting by the castle and water. Highly recommended!

We visited this pub whilst holidaying. The bar round the back is truly authentic, a proper traditional pub feel with a roaring fire to boot. Only tiny so we were crammed in but everyone was friendly and welcoming. We then decided to eat there and asked about a table for the 2 of us and our dog. This was accommodated swiftly and we moved round to the restaurant side. We had a lovely table next to another open fire which was very cozy. The food was excellent. All in all we had a lovely experience at the carew Inn. Full credit to the staff they never stopped, were attentive and friendly and exceptionally hard working. Our doggy was also completely spoilt by the staff.

Visited this pub after our castle visit on Sunday, we were greeted by a lovely young waitress who sorted out a table for us straight away outside without a booking. We then proceeded to order our food inside at the bar and we were served by what I can only call an extremely stressed and rude woman. My mum asked to order a coffee and her reply was “I’d really rather not” whilst staring directly at the coffee MACHINE!! If only I could say to people in my job that id really rather not do something… especially when you work in customer service! You have to laugh.. She was blabbering on about how busy the pub was and how many people she has to serve whilst also smashing up ice cubes in a box like an axe murderer. It was all very uncomfortable and not very friendly to say the least.We waited a very long time for our food but I have to say when it eventually arrived it was really nice! And our young waitress who brought us the food was super friendly - maybe the lady at the bar could take some tips!

We waited more than an hour for our very poor quality meal. The chips were dry and the much heralded Curew Inn burger was tough and then charged us £15 for it.As we waited for our meal two other tables took their meals back because they’d been so badly prepared.I would not recommend you waste your time or money at this pub. There are many other places around the area to eat so don’t make the mistake we did. Avoid Curew Inn if you want a good meal.

I didn’t come up with the title of this review lightly, not least because our impression until now of pubs in the region, on this and previous visits, has been overwhelmingly favourable. What make this one even worse is that its evident history and situation opposite a historic castle lulls you into expecting a special evening, as did the recommendation of a good friend, who will be mortified to learn of the mediocrity we encountered. We were booked in for 8pm, a little later than we normally like to eat in the evening - and because they couldn’t meet our request to eat at 7.30pm - but we were happy to let that pass on the afore mentioned friend’s recommendation. After we were shown to our seats, we were at least able to order drinks to our table more or less straight away. However, half an hour passed with no explanation or apology for the delay. I think that’s about a reasonable limit to wait. We also noticed that tables which had been occupied when we arrived were still waiting to be served. As the rumblings of discontent became apparent from a neighbouring table, one of the very sweet teenage waitresses behind whom the management hid all evening began the litany of apologies. Along with the table next to us, we reassured the waiting staff that none of the blame could be attached to them. Three-quarters of an hour came and went. The waitress for our table was reduced to apologising that they were “very busy” - that old favourite of businesses that cannot deliver what they promise, as if “being busy” somehow comes as an unwelcome surprise to a restaurant. Our food eventually arrived an hour after we’d been seated. The lasagne I’d ordered turned out to come in one of those bowls in which it’s easy to pre-freeze the meal and then simply heat up in a microwave. Why that took an hour was no more explained than why a garlic bread that could have come from a bog standard supermarket pack required such elaborate preparation, or the accompanying salad consisting of half a chopped red onion, a similar amount of red pepper and some shredded lettuce. A restaurant possessing any sense of pride or humility, instead of hiding behind schoolgirls, would have fronted up with its customers and said something like: “Do you know what? We have to hold our hands up - tonight’s been a shocker. Forget the bill.” Instead, no warning of delays was made beforehand, though they must have known by then they were struggling. No offer was made even to knock our drinks off the bill, let alone waive the whole thing in embarrassment, so compounding the dismal service with shameless money-grabbing. In short, a business which can’t provide the service it promises, but takes your money without apology anyway. My recommendation: Avoid at all costs.

We have visited the Carew Inn twice now in the last couple of weeks. Due to current regulations there is a limited menu and you have to sit outside, but neither of these bothered us. The food, which was great and delivered quickly, was very tasty and good value. As others have said, it was served in a cardboard box which wasn't a problem as it's easy to unfold into a plate. Also it does say on the menu a plate can be asked for if needed, so no need for the poor reviews.We'll be back!

Whole family really enjoyed! Will definitely return in future. Highly recommend the Carew inn burger - the best burger I have ever had! Nice and friendly staff.

What can I say after a lovely walk around Carew castle we call in on the off chance to see if we could have a meal. We had a friendly welcome and advised this wouldn’t be a problem. Due to us having dogs we sat outside. We had our order taken and was surprised how quick we were served. All the staffed were friendly and welcoming. Our food were served in boxes which we thought was a fab idea. As a family of 5 with 4 dogs I would highly recommend. Fab place for a fab holiday.

AMAZING. What a wonderful experience. Booked for anniversary lunch but when arrived was told that they had 3 chefs off due to covid and were only offering light bites. When they realised it was for a special lunch they went above and beyond to cook a lovely meal for us. We even had candles on our deserts. Our waitress Lisa was lovely and made our lunch a very special occasion. We had pork belly and sea bass. Food was delicious, couldn't fault it. Thank you, would definitely recommend.

If you are thinking of eating at the Carew Arms I would honestly say ‘DON’T BOTHER ‘ !!The service is poor ,we waited 45 minutes for our food and although it was hot the quality was very poor. My husband’s pie was burnt on top and the steak inside was gristly also my battered fish was greasy - all in all a tasteless and expensive meal. Food still served in unappetising boxes and dumped in front of you. I requested extra vinegar which was ignored.Needless to say we will NEVER eat there again and NEVER recommed it.

We were meeting friends that I hadn't seen in 25 years. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much for us. The food was delicious. It was a very hot day but the staff were attentive. There was live music which was great as we haven't seen any live music for months. Thank you Carew Inn for making the evening special

We visited the Carew Arms with friends. We had delicious food but it was served in cardboard boxes which was not good at all! Service was mixed, the waitress that served us was extremely poor and rude initially however the young man that came to take our food order was extremely professional and helpful. We were just about to leave but he helped changed our minds. We were glad we stayed as the food was so delicious. We will be back but will wait until we can have our food on plates

Im all for being Covid safe, but this pub wouldn't let anyone indoors when other pubs are open. We were due to eat here but seeing the cardboard take away boxes with meals being served in the garden, and seeing the prices they were charging ( not cheap!!l) we decided to eat elsewhere that had plates & cutlery. Theres no excuse for this now and as charging these prices they need to deliver a higher standard of service!Beer garden was nice, but very disorganised on entry and very slow service paying £11 for 2 shandys.

We always go out for a meal on our last night away, and chose here as it was only a 10 min walk from our cottage. Very nice garden area, and excellent food, well priced too!

Staff were super accommodating as we arrived an hour early for our booking. They found us a table and brought drinks, explaining might be a little wait for food as they were expecting a big group. Actually ordered and had food within about 20 minutes of being there. Staff very friendly and helpful and liked the little letter they gave you explaining the limited menu and what their rules where. Food was plentiful and very hot, also very tasty. We were sat outside in the garden with view of the castle, Food was in a box but it was a bit of fun. Would definitely visit again

Food was pretty good however its presentation in a cardboard box accompanied by cheap plastic cutlery which broke halfway through my meal really detracted from it. We couldn’t understand the absence of a plate and this increased when we ordered a dessert which came on a plate with 2 proper spoons. Fish & Chips at the seaside in a box is fine…but not when you’re charging £15 for a burger.

Please order the Wagyu burger, it was incredible! The staff are so friendly too, Fiona was our waitress and she was amazing! They are very conscious of the current pandemic and made us feel comfortable throughout our meal. I definitely recommend this place!

We stopped here for lunch and were very disappointed.We ordered drinks and waited. A local couple came along, ordered drinks and got them within moments. We waited.A gentleman arrived, obviously known to staff, he ordered a drink and soon got it. We waited.The menu was very limited, but we'd chosen and still we waited. A waitress passed our table at least 3 times and could see we had neither drinks or food, but she ignored us. We eventually gave up and found a welcoming pub nearby with excellent beer garden, menu, service and foodAfter a pandemic you would think hospitality would be ready to welcome our business, but not the case here unfortunately

We went here most days for lunch. The baguettes are very nice, especially the warm chicken and stuffing. The only drawback is that the tables are all outside, so if it's raining it's a bit of a no go.
