The Cowshed in Carmarthenshire

When we are in the area, we always come back to visit the Cowshed. Great pizza, lovely ice cream and very friendly hosts. Would recommend.

Absolutely amazing pizza and ice-cream at The Cowshed ! The family run business made me and my family feel so welcomed and thankful. I would highly recommend The Cowshed to anyone visiting the surrounding area.

The pizza is great, the ice cream simply wonderful. Friendly and reasonably priced. We have been coming here since they opened and it is consistently excellent. Highly recommended

Just to say thank you, we totally recommend this place for pizza and ice cream, so much so we visited twice in our week stay in the area.

Visited for dinner and had delicious pizza followed by amazing ice cream (from a massive range), which is homemade on site. The owner was so lovely and friendly, and made us feel really welcome. If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not), I’d thoroughly recommend a visit. The campsite also looked great, with named plots with their own facilities. We will definitely be back!

Had read that they do gluten free pizza bases so visited on our first night in the area. The pizza base was the best I’ve had , very thin and crispy around the edges with a choice of small or large. Fillings delicious and sat in the barn with heater and lights to eat it. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and 10/10 for gluten free option.

So all the things that put you off camping, this place has thought about and made it right. Would be really nice to have a fire but almost all camps don’t allow for this - well a designated bit for fire pits at this location Campsites are always Busy and small- at the cowshed you have a whole acre to your self. Privacy at its best Overcrowded toilets, showers, and washing up- nope you have your own to use. Food is terrible- again nope they have decided on one thing they are good at and that is pizza that they do to their best and only that, well plus their ice cream which is also awesome ! Want a camping experience that you will enjoy, go here. Simple.

Great tasting, stone baked pizzas. Slightly on the thin side of thin.... but very tasty and good value. Only gripe would be that we rang ahead to order, told it would be ready to collect at 7.45, got there at 7.45 when they said they were just about to cook them... Not the end of the world but not ideal. Overall would recommend and order again.

My wife ,granddaughter and I stopped here for food after a day at Folly Farm en route back to Neath .The place is very nice ,a nice welcome, the staff were polite and friendly and the food and Drink really good. My wife and I had Sirloin steak cooked perfectly granddaughter had mozzarella sticks and lasagne ,a cool looking milk shake and I was chuffed with a Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer very refreshing on a Sunny evening. We recommend the Cowshed as a nice place to frequent

Had the most fantastic time at Cowpots. Absolutely beautiful site with a fantastic pitch and facilities your own shower composting toilet and picnic shelter and table plus a fireplace. The scenery was lovely and surrounded by wild flowers and woodland walks The pizzas and ice cream onsite were delicious. Thankyou so much Cowpots for a fantastic family break. Would definitely be coming back and highly recommend.

Just the best ice cream And I dont even usually like ice cream! Lovely friendly owner..had a great chat with him. Awesome #speculoos ice cream..my hubby ate a whole 450ml pot of rum n raisin!!!! Lovely place . The campsite looks lovely... We will return to camp one day

We booked to camp at Cowpots for 5 nights. They'd refurbished the well spaced pitches so that each has hot water, shower, toilet and a kitchen area of their own - all in the most beautiful tree lined field. The combination of the beauty and peace of this farm, with amenities that made it really easy to cook over the campfire and properly live outdoors, made it one of the best camping experiences I've had. It's a fantastic site, but what makes it really worth visiting are the people who run it. They manage to be both constantly available without ever being intrusive. They are not only kind and patient (forgot the tent pegs, battery on car went flat, lending us a can of petrol as we'd nearly run out..), but have tackled camping during Covid with huge energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. The result is fantastic. So are Amelia's yoga classes. And the pizzas. We're going back. So is the dog.

We just popped up the road on the off chance and we’re so pleased we could buy ice cream, we had 3 2l pots for £24 and had to sample the mint choc chip the moment we got home. Fabulous ice cream, the real thing, thanks

We've visited many times for fabulous pizza and ice creams. Always a friendly welcome and we'll be going for takeaways while this virus nightmare is going on - if there is one place that can cheer you up it's the Cowshed!

The Cowshed is a top favourite for our family. Lovely pizza and ice-cream and friendly owners. Highly recommend

Of actually visiting your establishment to spend money. The service was poor, and the ice cream is not the best in the area. If you want good service and quality, drive a bit further and try Narbeth.

Visited this cosy charming pizzeria whilst we were on holiday in the area. Run by a friendly couple who you can tell put their heart and soul into this amazing place. We ordered 3 pizzas: The Lasagne, Spicey Veg, Garden Veg and a garlic bread. They were certainly plentiful and upon their arrival decided that we would probably need to ask for a takeaway box. However they were so tasty and the base perfectly thin that we then proceeded to eat the whole lot! To say that these were probably the best pizzas I've ever eaten is no understatement as I've probably eaten my body weight in pizza! If you're in the area pop in, you won't be dissapointed.

We stumbled upon this place as we were camping nearby and really fancied a nice pizza. Google came up trumps when it recommended this place! Proper pizza with a delicious variety of toppings cooked in a beautiful pizza oven. They’re made to order and the oven only cooks one at a time so be prepared to wait a little if it’s very busy but it’s definitely worth it. We had a takeout but the restaurant area was very nice, and next time we are in the area we plan to return for a proper dinner as the ice cream selection was to die for! I had the creamy veg pizza which appealed as it sounded a bit different and it was lovely. Béchamel sauce topped with broccoli, red onion, mushroom and pesto. Hard to get a good photo but it was amazing! We also had a good old fashioned cheese and tomato which was very tasty. A lovely family business that deserves an excellent rating and a visit

The pizza's were so good especially the lasagne themed one , good selection of local beers aswell. Unfortunately no room for ice-cream so we went back the next afternoon, delicious. Wish we had visited earlier in our holiday.

This is the best. Just love coming here. Nothing is too much trouble. I would eat here every day if I could. Cheers all!

In my opinion the best pizzas outside of Italy. We called in on the last day of our holiday, why on earth we didn't call sooner, we're just up the lane fr this amazing place. The owner and wife made us very welcome great service and we had a lovely chat. Loved the owners sense of humour we chose 2 small pizzas and ened with scoop of delicious ice cream Cosmix & honey ginger ice cream. Washed down with Welsh cider. If you're in the area make sure you call in you want be disappointed. We'll be spreading the word on our return to Stoke on Trent The Cowshed is a hidden gem

Horrible service from staff who are either tourist fatigued or so arrogant about the quality of the food they don't care about customers. Shame on you for forgetting ordinary people choose where to spend their money, and forgetting the courtesy of treating them like customers. Really disappointed.

We had a beautiful evening in our campervan and amazing homemade pizzas and fresh ice cream. The pitches are great, in a quiet field.

This was the first time my 2 kids have been camping and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderful stripped back way of life with plenty to do nearby. The pizzas in the cowshed are incredible too with wonderful warm hospitality. We will certainly be back (the kids are already asking when and we haven’t left yet!)

We live only a couple of miles from The Cowshed and it does the best pizza ever. Very friendly and attentive. They now do home delivery in the immediate area as well. The Ice cream is wonderful.

We stopped here after a trip to Narberth and were not disappointed! Incredible flavours to choose from (try the cow mix! Delicious) and I bought a litre tub to take home with 10 scoops all different flavours to try! The couple were absolutely lovely too! Can’t wait to go back to try the pizzas and get more ice-cream!

We first experienced the Cowshed’s ice cream last summer whilst visiting Pembrokeshire for the first time. We had the Jaffa cake ice cream, simply delicious. Returned this year for a weeks holiday, top of our to do list was to visit the Cowshed, not just for ice cream but to also try out their pizzas. lovely couple, made us feel very welcome. Pizza’s were delicious.

Although it is only 5 mins off the A40, it would be easy to not realise it’s there. However it is well worth the slight detour either to or from the Pembrokeshire coast.

Took our three neices here for the afternoon all under 10 and we thoroughly enjoyed. Delicious pizza..! & Delicious ice cream.! Made for a lovely half term treat, as prices can amount high. Staff pleasant and place was very clean. Lovely forest walk and camping ground. Perfect find for everyone couples, family, groups young and old.

Visited tonight 13th September 2018. All I can say is WOW! Wonderful place, great pizzas freshly baked in a real wood burning pizza oven. Gluten Free bases are available and you won't be able to tell the difference from "normal" bases. The owners are a lovely couple who take pride in their establishment, but don't seem to realise how good they are! Their ice cream is delightful and their raspberry sorbet is stunning! We will be back and highly recommend that you visit and experience it for yourselves you won't be disappointed!

If you are in the need of a good pizza, some fine garlic bread, great ice cream and in the area then this is the place you should go. We enjoyed all that and will be back for more.

Great little restaurant to stop by if you are in the area. Homemade pizza, cooked in front of you followed by homemade ice cream. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Next time we're in the area we'll be stopping again.

Visited the Cowshed last month with my wife and daughter. The pizzas and calzones are amazing, the best we've ever eaten. Great ice cream too. Will visit again soon. A hidden gem.

Fantastic food, friendly staff and great beer! The best food we’ve had on our holiday. Definitely will be returning.

This is a hidden gem. Great place for freshly made pizza's

We had an absolutely delicious meal here last night. The pizza was amazing - best we’ve tasted anywhere! Ceasar salad was also delicious with plenty of home cooked ham, chicken and fruity Parmesan cheese. We then opted for affogato with coconut and jersey ice cream - wonderful!

On way back to caravan after a day out popped into the Cowshed for tea. Fabulous pizzas followed by the best ice cream. Great service. Definitely be back in the future. Highly recommend a visit.

Decided to visit this gem of a place this evening , very friendly staff fantastic pizzas. And the most delicious ice cream . Well worth a visit and we will definitely be back very soon

Highly recommended this place!! Stopped for pizza and ice cream today which was delicious. Owners were Very welcoming and friendly they couldn’t do enough for us. Great selection of craft ale and ciders available at very reasonable prices. We Will deffinately be visiting again soon. Thanks

Stayed overnight which was a good stop off on our journey around Wales. Lovely food and ice cream which we had to sample. Quiet night and very welcoming hosts. Nice walk form site and will call again when we are around the area.

If you love pizza and ice cream Cowpots is the place to go.The freshly made pizza was beautiful but remember to leave room for the ice cream. I loved the jaffa orange whilst my husband enjoyed the cinnamon biscuit and didn't here from the children except gasps of Ooh! whilst eating the toffee ice cream. The owners are delightful, so passionate about the food and lovely hosts. So if you live near or find yourself in the area on a day trip or a holiday a visit is highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely evening Peter, Heulwen, Dafydd and Owain

This place does the best pizza! Ice cream was delicious too. The staff were super friendly and relaxed, it was the perfect end to a day of adventure on Skomer Island. It's worth a detour to find The Cowshed.

We were made to feel so welcome and revelled in the warm on a cold and blustery day. These were, we all agreed, the best pizzas, and our kids are afficionados. Follow that with the ice cream, so many flavours to choose from, and we had a perfect family meal out. Our dogs were welcome. The hosts were really friendly. We would highly recommend a visit.

We had pizza and ice cream there last night. The food was amazing. The pizzas were by far the best we've had locally. Staff were lovely. A great little find that I would highly recommend!

Went here for a catch up with a friend this evening and had the malteaser milkshake and All Meat Pizza. Absolutely divine. We spent two hours just catching up and we didn’t feel fussed over or forgotten about - it was the perfect balance. Friendly and professional service. Will definitely be visiting again! Diolch yn fawr!

Picked up a flyer for this place and so glad I did, wonderful freshly made pizza. Delicious crust and tasty...

Wow...what an amazing place and the best pizza we've eaten. We stopped here on the way back from folly farm,...

Just called her for a late lunch. I can honestly say that the pizzas are better than any Italian restaurant...

Came here with the family and the staff were really friendly, pizzas were delicious and the kids loved the ice...

Just visited Cowshed. This is a gem in the Welsh countryside. Very friendly, excellent value for money offering wonderful Pizzas...

We called in to grab a coffee and ice cream but couldn't resist the pizza and prosecco deal for £10!...

Called after seeing an advert for the ice cream. We were not disappointed! Ice cream sundaes were lush, staff friendly...

We were meeting up with friends and we're running late but the friendly stayed open an extra hour for us. The oven baked pizzas were a delight with any request catered for and the "Cowpot" ice cream was to die for. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

This place was so good we ended up calling in for lunch again on our way home!. We always look out for places to have good ice cream on our holidays in Pembrokeshire with my son as he loves ice cream sundaes.The smell of oven baked pizza when you go in is wonderful. I am gluten intolerant and the gluten free pizza I had is the best one I have had anywhere. The pizzas my son and husband had were also delicious as was the salad. I had fantastic raspberry sorbet as I am avoiding dairy. My son and husband both had chocolate sundaes on the first visit and made up their own sundaes on the second visit. The taste of the ice cream flavours is fantastic. The staff and owners were very friendly. There are lots of games to play and some books to read while you wait. We will definitely be back and want to try the woodland walk next time!!

Grandson won a voucher for ice cream at llanteg fun day , decided we would have pizza lunch and ice cream pudding. Grandchildren saw pizza being cooked , service was very good. Various pizzas arrived at the same time, all piping hot with generous toppings . Ice cream was spectacular and worth a visit just for the toffee and fudge flavour. Superb visit - well done on service and quality - will we visit again - most definitely.

Been in The area for past few years and never new about this little Gem . we really enjoyed the pizzas proper thin dough for a change I had the All meat very tasty and my wife had the Calzone both very good. And if you like ice cream they have there home made ice cream which is excellent. We will be back

We love this place! Great food at a great price with friendly service. The pizzas are a favourite with the children and adults alike and the range of ice cream flavours ensures there is something for everyone!

Yet another most enjoyable visit to this family-run pizzeria and icecream parlour. Great-tasting good value food freshly prepared in front of you. Highly recommended. Well done guys!

We visited the Cowshed this evening for the 3rd time, having recently moved locally. The owners are wonderful, the food delicious and all at a good price! Wide variety of home made ice creams with interesting flavours, would definitely recommend and have told all my family and friends about this place! A must visit!

We were luck to have stayed just up the road from this wonderful place. The restaurant is small but very sweet. The staff were very welcoming. We had milkshakes, garlic and cheese bread and spicy pizzas and ice cream to finish with. Everything was really tasty.

Visited with my husband, we both thought the pizzas were really nice, lovely thin crispy bases. The ice creams were of a good quality, and tasted yummy! Staff were lovely! We felt it was a good experience and value for money.

What a gem. Who would believe a converted cow shed selling amazing ice cream and cooking better pizzas than I have eaten in Italy could be tucked away in this picturesque corner of S Wales. If you are in the area you just pay a visit. A family run business offering great hospitality with a smile, superb fresh food and a range of locally sourced drinks.

In response to a comment I've just read I would like to add my comment . The cowshed is a family run venture set in lovely surroundings. The pizzas are hand made to order in a clay fired oven , plenty of toppings of your choice. The ice cream is also hand made on the premises with oodles of flavours . We call for food three times every week NUFF SAID... A very warm welcome to all . Maeve and Mike from Carmarthen. Xxx

Had a fab night with family at the Cowshed!! Great food, great atmosphere, great service even though they were very busy! ! Great value for money! ! Always very obliging and welcoming!! Will be back very soon! !

My children and I love coming to Cowpots after school for ice cream, and in the evening for pizza. The pizzas are beautifully made and taste delicious! I really think it's excellent value for money and we enjoy being able to support a local family business. The Bowman family are hard working and always welcoming I would highly recommend

If you like pizza it is ok, nothing special, for what we had I felt it was overpriced and skimpy.. The ice cream is nice but also not cheap.

Lovely little piazza bistro with a decent selection of piazzas. Also does take away piazza. Menu also included cream teas at certain times of the day. Also sharing this space is the home of the Cowpots ice cream company. Large selection of delicious flavours to take away. Very helpful and friendly staff. Recommended.

A large group us enjoyed some delicious pizzas followed by their own ice cream. It is in a very pretty setting and the welcome we received was warm. We will be going again

We took my parents and daughter here when they came to visit us last weekend. Not only is the food (pizzeria and ice cream parlour)) fabulous but the owner took great care of my Mother who was having difficulty walking unaided. We will definitely return.

I came here with a group of friends in the summer and had the best time! The two guys in the parlour were great hosts and accommodated all of the dietary requirements of the group. We booked in advance as we were a group of 7 and they had carefully moved chairs and tables around for us to all fit around 1 big table. The pizza was so good and I had ordered a side salad but there was too much food for me to finish it all so one of the guys boxed it up for me to take home.Most importantly the ice cream (which is made on site) is just too good! So many flavours and if you can't decide they will let you try a few.A great little place to go all through the year, I will be visiting again soon.

The Cowshed was recommended by a local B&B, which speaks volumes in itself. It's just off the road and down a track, but don't let that put you off because both the service - friendly, relaxed and helpful - and food - fresh and flavoursome - are absolutely excellent. There's also an extensive range of wines and local beers, while my son rated his milkshake one of the best he's ever had (and he's had a few!). As if this isn't enough to recommend it, the prices are also very reasonable. Could not recommend highly enough.

We called here this afternoon having past it so many times. We were greeted by Maisie the sheepdog around the farm! We were so glad we called in as had a fabulous meal and a lovely friendly welcome! Gorgeous home made pizzas which were made in front of us served with a super fresh salad! Plenty of drink options too!Although totally stuffed from the pizzas we still had to try the ice cream. Plenty of flavours to choose from and so delicious!! Really lovely atmosphere and they have a few board games which my little girls loved playing whilst waiting for our meal! We plan to use their takeaway very soon as the pizzas were amazing!! We also bought an extra tub of ice cream to bring home as was so lovely!! Can't wait to come back! Thank you and see you again soon !

Called in here for lunch on our way through from Pembrokeshire and had an excellent free pizza and calzone made in the woodfired pizza oven to order! Owner and staff friendly and helpful, recommended.

Popped in as I was passing and found this to be an amazing visit lovely little cafe and loads of Xmas gifts

Just called in for tea and cakes a friends recommendation, staff very friendly and the menu looked very inviting, tried the local ice cream and just had to take some home with us. Going back for a pizza next time and a ramble around the farm walk, hoping to see the herd of Jersey cows.

Visited last night and once again had fantastic fresh pizzas! The staff are incredible - friendly. efficient and helpful. We are so lucky to have this so close to us!

Visited for my son's birthday celebration. The staff were fantastic- nothing too much trouble. The pizza was fantastic- just make sure you are hungry when you visit. We are already planning to revisit.

Been to The Cowshed a few times now.Great for an ice cream treat on a sunny or not so sunny day but you MUST try the wonderful pizzas.We have had 2 evenings out and also a take away and each time the food was just perfect.If you have eaten pizza in Italy then you will appreciate there excellent authentic wood fired oven pizzas.Worth paying a bit extra for the larger pizza. They go down even better with one of the craft beers on offer.

Just returned from an evening out. We were really impressed with the quality of the food. Cooked perfectly and lots of it!! We had garlic sticks with cheese and a pizza each...they were lovely. Try the naga chilli oil too. People serving us were lovely. A must for anyone in this part of Wales ( and take away available! !) Will be back! Thank you

We saw all the favourable reviews on TripAdvisor and knew we had to eat here so when Wednesday rolled around we were there front and centre. We had the delightful welcome from the farm dog and spent a few minutes playing with her before heading in. The staff there are so friendly and genuinely seem please to see you. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was just amazing. We had 2 pizzas and a garlic pizza bread between the 3 of us and it was more than enough. The flavours were spot on and everything was so fresh. We couldn't leave without sampling the ice cream so left with a tub of mint chocolate chip and chocolate hazelnut! Just so good I would return to this place in a heartbeat.

Lovely little hide away came across it by chance, needs to be promoted more. Lovely cafe/bistro serving not just ice cream but sorbet for those allergic to dairy & home made pizza, salads, good range of drinks. Lovely friendly staff.

Pizza in particular was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff. Outdoor area for the kids to run round. Very impressed. (Sorry to disagree with another reviewer, but in my opinion we really don't need more tea-rooms in this part of the country. We need an excellent pizzeria... and this is it.)

Visited The Cowshed at the recommendation of our B & B host and what a good shout. Not easy to find unless you are looking for it but well worth the effort. We were met on arrival by the farm's playful sheepdog and we made our way to the restaurant that is in a recently refurbished 'cowshed' beside the owners parents farm. The place has a genuine wood pizza oven and the menu is limited almost exclusively to pizza, but that is what I expected at a pizzeria so no problem there. The owner was very pleasant as was the waitress and we selected two pizzas and a house salad which were very reasonably priced. I also selected a craft beer from the very comprehensive choice. The pizzas were delicious. I once ate at an authentic pizzeria in New York, reputedly the best in New York. The pizzas here were on a par if not better! At the end of our meal I went to pay and the owner offered my wife and I complimentary bottles of craft beer! Free!! A generous offer that was completely unnecessary but so generous. If you are ever in this area you must visit and support the venture. Places like this are few and far between and deserve every success.Just a final piece of feedback for the owner. I searched under restaurants both nearby and in the village and The Cowshed did not come up in the results. I eventually found you on google and you are shown as #1 of 1 in the category of 'desserts'. I use my phone app and 'desserts' isn't a category that can be searched. I would recommend that you show yourself in the category of restaurants to increase your exposure. Good luck in your venture and thank you for a lovely evening.P.S. The stout was lovely - cheers!

Great tasting food and plenty of it.Good choice of desserts on the menu. Nice and clean inside. Cheerful and pleasant staff. Well worth another visit.

Visited the Cowshed tonight and was very impressed with everything. The farm's sheepdog showed us where to go and we started with some very good value drinks including a local blackcurrant porter!!! The pizza's were very tasty and cooked to perfection. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and that sheepdog showed us back to the car. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place.

Best Pizza i have ever had. Amazing ice-creams too! Lovely little, secure play area for kids too so it feels very safe.Would absolutely return!

We were looking forward to a light lunch, of home made soup ect,only to find you have become a pizza parlour which is not to our taste bring back the tea room please.

Very friendly and easy going with top quality food. Kind enough to allow us to spend the night in our campervan, lovely views and woodland walk. We were entertained all evening by the dog who also made us feel most welcome and visited first thing in the morning to say hello. Great to see farms diversify and hopefully the business will continue and grow. Would happily visit again if in the area.

Fantastic place take your dog its welcome if well behaved Staff wonderful. Set in an old barn building if your lucky you will see the cows who provide the milk for the icecream the sheepdog and farm cat

We've visited this lovely place several times over the last few months and it's been excellent every time. The ice cream is the best I've ever had with different flavours every time. Last time we had pizzas which were very nice and excellent value for money, especially compared to the likes of Pizza Express and their inflated prices! Both inside and outside seating is lovely. Outside you'll meet the sheepdog and a cat or two, all very friendly. I've certainly never seen them inside the cafe. So please don't be scared off if you don't like cats...just enjoy this perfect cafe.

Lovely views. Limited menu but pizzas very good if a little slow coming to table-worth the wait.If your not a cat lover you will struggle here as the cat is very friendly and in and out of the cafe.

Best pizza outside our own house! The wood fired oven gives great results. The pizzas are generous size. Accompanying Salad very generous, nicely prepared and very tasty.Alongside this the ice creams are just scrummy. This place is out of the way, but definitely well worth the journey. We will be back!

Hi, it's really pleased to recommend this place ! Highly recommend :) Beautiful and very original place to visit and have a good time! Many thanks Radek and Family.

We spent a wonderful evening here last night with family and friends. Lovely friendly and helpful staff. And the food was fantastic! Excellent choice of pizza, ice cream and beers - all excellent value for money! The pizzas were delicious - beautifully cooked and so tasty. Would recommend 100% and we will definitely be back.

Great choice of excellent, individually made, freshly baked in the wood-oven pizzas.And ice-cream. What's not to like?

Lovely setting, friendly staff, delicious food - would definitely recommend for lunch. Excellent choice on menu, suitable for vegetarians and gluten free - prompt and friendly service all this in a unique setting, only been in winter can't wait to visit again in the summer (if we get one!)

Heard about the cowshed through friends, and thought I'd give it a visit. Wow am I glad I did. The pizza was made and cooked from fresh in front of you. Owner and staff very welcoming and friendly, couldn't do enough for you. Plenty of choice for your topping of your pizza from your standard margarita to ham and pineapple to the adventurous ones who like it spicy. Must say the ham is proper cooked ham and not from a packet. Also the garlic bread was a real winner. Will definitely be going back. Great for couples and family's.

Stopped off at the Cowshed in favour of our usual pre-cinema visit to Pizza Express in Carmarthen. So glad we did! How nice to get away from the corporate pizza experience and find authentic wood-oven baked pizzas almost on our doorstep.The Cowshed offers a great selection of typical pizzeria-fare all made fresh to order, with a couple of new twists, and served with a selection of home-made dips that really were very good. With a great selection of toppings and two different pizza sizes, accompanied by salads etc, and followed by the famous Cowpots Icecream, who could want for more? Very good value and a lovely setting in the converted cowshed building.We wish Martin and his team well with the new venture and we will certainly be regular visitors. Well done!

After a busy day in Tenby, we stopped off for something to eat. We were welcomed into the garden as we had our dog with us. Lovely choice of pizza and extras. Service was both helpful and swift even though the pizza was cooked to order. Salad was shareable and portion of olives, generous. Ice cream was amazing. Great friendly eating environment.

The Cowshed, Whitland is relatively close to where we live. We had not known about it until I had a Cowpots icecream at the Rhs flower show in Cardiff. That very same evening (15/4/16) The Cowshed Whitland was featured on Itv's Coast & Country programme.We decided to visit the next day Saturday 16th April. It was closed for refurbishment, but the sign said it would re-open on Wednesday 20th April. We went back on Thursday 21st April around 2pm.There was only one other table occupied. We were given the menu but were very surprised after reading all the rave reviews on TripAdvisor, that the only option was pizza & salad.We asked the waitress if there were any other options but she said that the Cowshed had just undergone a refurbishment & it was now a pizzeria. We ordered a small pizza and a coffee each.The coffee arrived, my partners was just warm & mine wasn't hot either. Eventually our pizzas arrived. Mine was spicy vegetable but only red pepper, corn & tomatoes on it & a very spicy sauce.My partners pizza was a 'big' meaty pizza. Some pre-cooked bacon & 2 small wafer thin slices of salami. No garnish or side salad.My partners pizza was burnt on one side. They did apologise & offer to replace the pizza but we were hungry & we had already waited some time for the first one so my partner declined the offer.My pizza was ok around the edges but most of the base was raw slimy dough. My partners was the same except for the Burnt side!We complained, again they did offer to recook them, but by this time it was getting embarrassing so we refused. They didn't charge us for what we eat of the meal.The other occupied table also had raw pizza & were not happy although a gentleman in the party seemed to know about cooking pizza and offered the owners some advice.Why would you narrow your menu to such a limited market? I suppose if the pizzas were truly exceptional there might be an outside chance of making the business pay. But I doubt it. I have run my own business & I would wish anyone starting on a new venture the best of luck because it's tough. The public are not fools.Two other things come to my mind. We live relatively close by but have never heard of The Cowshed before.One of the staff members told us that the direction of the cafe had changed because it wasn't paying as a general café /tearoom.If we hadn't heard about it living locally and running holiday accommodation, (we are always on the lookout for places to recommend), what hope is there of anyone else hearing about it other than by word of mouth? Also, wasn't it rather short sighted to change the tearoom into a Pizzeria when the Coast & Country programme was about to air?I am sure that ITV would have told the owners the date it was going to be on.Please turn it back into a lovely tearoom/cafe.By the way, the Cowpots icecream is really lovely.
