If you are looking for the perfect Wedding or party venue, look no further. From our first meeting, Jonathan put us at ease and was the perfect Wedding planner. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was beautifully decorated with plenty of space for guests to walk around. The staff were really kind, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was outstanding and perfectly timed. Thank you Jonathan for making our Wedding day so perfect! We wouldn't change a thing. We had so much fun, dancing and laughing the night away.

A group of 7 of us descended upon this pub - well situated in the middle of town . Llandovery is a beautiful place to visit . We had not booked , but, this was no problem and the lady running the bar and taking our orders ( a blonde lady ) could not have been more helpful and friendly ! Extensive menu and specials on the board - starting at about £10 and up . Plenty of room and nice toilets - a little adventure getting to them . Food was fine - beware there is a service charge put on your bill - possibly only applies to large groups ? The kind waitress explained about this and added it could be adjusted or removed - can’t be fairer than that ! No rush to move - relaxing place to digest your lunch ! Thank you !

Visited this establishment for Sunday lunch on a recent holiday to Wales and we were not disappointed. Both my husband chose Roast Lamb and it was just delicious. There was plenty of meat and it was served with roast and mashed potatoes. The vegetables came separately which is always a great idea as then you can choose what you want. We enjoyed every mouthful!!! Add a dessert to it and we left full and happy.

Stayed 2 nights as visiting for a wedding. Sundays are quiet in the town.nothing much open except cafes and pubs. Room was lovely. Comfy kingsize bed although tv pixelated alot .bit annoying. I messaged months before to check in early and it was agreed yet room wasnt ready. We did have the key to put clothes in and get changed although no towels to shower . Staff very friendly and helpful though. Had a meal in the evening. Husband wanted rare steak and bearing in mind it cost £25 the steak was medium rare and cold. We didnt send it back as he was hungry and i wouldve finished mine before he got new one but we told bar staff who apologised. Wouldve been nice to have been offered a discount though! Would stay again but maybe eat elsewhere

Been quite a few times now and always had good food and service but we had dinner there yesterday and our experience was one that we now question whether or not to go back again! We were not shown to our table merely the table was pointed out to us from a distance. After nearly 20 minutes I had to go and ask for menus. Our order was taken not long after that but we then had to wait over an hour for our meal. We were a party of only four people! The food was nowhere near as good as previous visits with the chips tasting awful. They tasted of stale oil! The steak was ordered as medium but was not cooked medium. The gammon steak was grisly and hard to cut even with a steak knife and was chewy. The only good thing about our meal was the fact that they cooked new potatoes instead of chips for our daughter who has to have a gluten free diet. Also there was a table of 10 just by us and one of them obviously had Covid. They were sneezing, coughing and had a very stuffed up nose. She kept sniffing. She coughed without covering her mouth!!! Now this is no fault of the Kings Head but it ruined our evening as well as the food and service not being up to the usual stand. We have not had Covid and all have underlying heath conditions so we will be very angry if any of us get Covid from last night!!! I assume there was a different chef cooking last night from when we had been on previous visits. Overall a pretty bad dining experience.

We booked a table for 2 for 7.15 My wife ordered the lamb and I liked the sound of the beetroot wellington but it came with potatoes and spinach. I asked if I could have fries instead but was told it comes as a meal with spinach and potatoes. I didn’t really understand this, surely I could have had fries with the wellington even if I didn’t have the spinach. Anyway I decided to have the fish and chips instead. I wish I hadn’t bothered, the fish was very similar to a piece of frozen Birds Eye fish you get from the supermarket, not like a nice piece of battered fish you get from a fish and chip shop. Was very disappointed. The only good thing about our meal was the starter which was the battered bri. I would normally have had a sweet but decided that I wasn’t going to put any more of my hard earned cash over the bar. Overall I was disappointed.

The hotel room was comfortable; clean, spacious and good fittings. Staff were pleasant. However, the food overall was not good; soggy fish, hard peas. Breakfast was equally poor-urns of tea, not even hot water and tea bags……… I would stay in a room again, but choose to eat elsewhere

Wasn't expecting much other than standard pub fayre and mediocre service which has been our experience of eating out recently (knowing how hard it is to find good staff). We'd booked a table for 4 with our 2 dogs and tables were nicely spaced so room for the dogs. Good selection of beers and lagers on tap, decent G&T. The pub was busy with other diners and drinkers and was nice to see a pub which welcomes both. The menu was a good mix of standard pub fayre and some interesting other options. 2 of us opted for the half roast chicken with skinny fries Coleslaw and BBQ sauce (having seen it served to someone else and getting food envy) . One of us had the stuffed peppers and another the steak and ale pie. When our food arrived we were all impressed. The roast chicken fell off the bone, the chips were piping hot and plenty of BBQ sauce. A little stingy on the Coleslaw but thoroughly enjoyable. Our friends enjoyed their meals, the pie was a 'proper' pie with a full pastry surround and came with additional gravy. The service was fantastic. The staff were friendly, efficient and running around serving lots of tables but found time to check in and make sure we had drinks and that our food was all OK. We ordered desserts and were politely told there might be a bit of a wait as they were just serving a large party. Sure enough there was a wait but we were enjoying the atmosphere so wasn't a problem. The desserts were proper homemade puds. My creme brulee was delicious, hubby enjoyed his sticky toffee pudding which was nice and hot (something he usually moans about) and our friend enjoyed their crumble which had a proper crunchy top (not microwaved). All in all, a very enjoyable evening in a great atmosphere with good food, service and a reasonable price. We've had a few disappointing meals out where we've paid a lot more recently and I was beginning to lose faith in the hospitality sector.

I stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast. I was looking for somewhere comfortable to spend the night before moving into my new home… I enjoyed the steak I had for dinner but people kept following me around nervously and atone point I was stopped from leaving the open plan bar/ restaurant..l they seemed to think I was going to slip out without paying? ? Weird! Why would someone book a hotel with their credit card, have dinner and leave without paying for their dinner. I’ve stayed in numerous hotels etc all over England, Wales, USA & Italy in the past four years of travelling and I’ve never been treated like that before! I just thought it was weird…

What a fabulous pub. It was warm & welcoming. Food delicious and we felt very reasonably priced. Run by a Husband & wife team, both delightful and friendly. We were a party of 5 adults celebrating my husband's Birthday. When we were served our drinks, I mentioned it was a Birthday drink. At the end of our meal my hubby was presented with a delicious lemon cheesecake desert and a happy birthday candle. 2 x specials on the blackboard. Our Bill was under 90 pounds with drinks. Highly recommend and hope we might have the opportunity to return until we return to Aussie.

Lovely pub situated just off the main road. The staff were very friendly and the Sunday dinner was delightful. I had the pork which they were only too happy to serve a Yorkshire pud with on request and my partner had the beef which was equally as nice. All served with a mixed bowl of veg. The service was quick too. Would definitely recommend 😋

I visited this pub to meet up with friends, as there were staying there for a few nights, the staff were very polite and helpful. There was a few of us they took out orders and moved us to a quieter room for our food. Which was all freshly cook, I didn’t hear any complaints for the rest of the party, I shall pop back in when I am out on my motorbike or out with friends and I am in that area.

We booked to stay here for one night whilst visiting the Brecon Beacons for a couple of days. We had booked a table for dinner but we were a bit late arriving at the pub, this was no problem. When we arrived we were greeted like old friends, nothing seemed too much. Staff were friendly and exceptionally helpful. We were shown to our rooms which were clean and very homely. We freshened up and went down to the pub for dinner which was absolutely gorgeous. All 4 of us had different meals and all 4 meals were perfectly cooked and a substantial size. We were impressed with drink choices and prices. The reason we chose The Kings Head was because it was dog friendly and she was allowed to stay in our room. We also had breakfast the next morning which was included in the price. We ate like kings, cereal, juices, tea and coffee, followed by a lovely , freshly cooked fried breakfast. Couldn't fault the place, would recommend to anyone visiting the Brecon Beacons. It may have been our first visit but it certainly won't be our last.

We stayed here with our two kids and two furry kids for just one night to break up a long journey. It was a lovely old fashioned place full of wonderful history. The food was amazing! My other half said the Texas chicken was the best chicken he'd ever eaten. Our dogs were allowed to eat with us which I found very special as they hate being left on their own. The staff were more than friendly. My eldest daughter said of our waitress.... That lady is so friendly and smiley! Our room was both clean and comfortable. There was very strange piano music playing tunes like Row, Row the Boat and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star until very late into the night but I'm sure this is not an ongoing occurrence. All in all we had a lovely stay and would like to say a big thank you to all the staff.

Myself and my husband and my 7 year old daughter called in for lunch recently and we were all shocked and disappointed! The food was a let down we had roast pork and beef dinners the meat was dry and the gravy watery not much flavour to it and not very hot, but that wasn’t the worst part! On the table next to us was a small group having a meal and to our disbelief a small dog was also sat at the table dining well being fed off the owners plate and licking the plates etc servers were back and fore and no one said a word! Now we are big dog lovers but I wouldn’t share a dining table with one at home let alone in a restaurant/pub dining area!! Made us all feel a bit sick if I’m honest! On those reasons we won’t be returning!

We had Sunday lunch on the weekend of The Sheep Festival in Llandovery, 3 had the Roast Beef, and 1 had Roast Pork. The service was exceptional considering just how busy the Kings Head was, the food was faultless we all really enjoyed it, the meat was really tender and we had a good selection of vegetables, we also had desserts - chocolate roulade and raspberry cheesecake, again delicious. Considering we had booked lunch for 2pm the food was as fresh as if it had been the beginning of the lunch period. Really impressive to keep this standard for the number who must have eaten Sunday lunch there over a period of about 3+ hours. Well done.

Ordered the lamb. It’s an authentic looking pub with a mixture of drinkers and diners. The staff were helpful and our orders were quickly taken. The food was reasonably priced however it was rather bland. I had the lamb with potato. It was all rather tasteless and slightly disappointing

Popped in for a drink and had a good beer and wine. Lovely comfortable pub with nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food looked good but didn’t eat.

Rocked up here on a Monday night for dinner for two. Lovely seating area in the modern take on medieval bar with low ceiling and comfy leather chairs. Quaffed our pre-prondials there and the maitre d’ instigated a tab after I enquired about food being available -which we gratefully accepted! This young (French?) lady is a wonderful asset to this hostelry. Discreet, charming,helpful, professional-these are qualities rare in such establishments. She made our night really,so thanks for that!

While staying locally we had lunch at the Kings Head. I had the chicken, onion and bacon wrap and can honestly say they were the best I have ever had. My husband had the chicken, bacon & mayonnaise baguettes and he was of the same opionion. The staff (owners?) were very friendly and attentive and served drinks to the table. Very impressed.

We were staying in Llandovery at the Riverside Pods and walked into town with our dog. We were so pleased when we found out this pub allowed dogs in the bar area. Wine was lovely, food was great too. Would go again.

I was treated to a lovely “Sunday day lunch” !!! out , as my son and girlfriend having been numerous times , and have loved the food , it’s appears since arriving they have changed ownership recently. Ordered a nut Roast ( curtesy of Castell Howell ) with stir fry vegetables which I said I would prefer with the traditional vegetables and vegetable gravy .the 2 roast beef and Yorkshire puddings meals arrived, home made Yorkshire( tough ) , and then the veg arrived , I say that as you could actually count each piece , 3 sprouts , small sprig of broccoli each , 2 small sprigs of cauliflower , one small dish for 3 . We did go back up to the bar and and ask for more and a even smaller dish arrived for us , no apologies and no one asking if we wanted any gravy, only the potion than was served with the meal on the plate.

Lovely wooden panelled restaurant serving fresh local food at very reasonable prices. They offer a good wine list and a good selection of beers. A very cosy place to be to escape the rain, watch the rugby or just for a drink

Excellent! Food delicious ... And not expensive. I've paid double the prices for similar food and not so tasty. Staff were great and atmosphere was fab! WiFi for the kids and various ales for the men. Diolch.

We called in for a coffee and a bite to eat but discovered we had called after the kitchen had closed. However, they were most obliging and served us a toasted sandwich and chips with our coffees within just a few minutes.

I come to Pontarddulais once a year while hubby visits a client and was excited to learn of the new espresso bar here. However, I was shocked at the prices!!! £4 for a latte and £3.90 for a flat white/cappuccino. Yikes! We were recently in Melbourne and Sydney and the most I paid for a latte there was £3, overlooking Sydney harbour. Mostly £2 generally and never had a bad one. Sadly, Coaltown’s flat white was way too strong and I didn’t enjoy 😝. I’ll bring my own next time. Shame, as I like the smell and ambience of a coffee shop.

The staff was very smiley, we received warm welcome. Their specialty is the dinner which consists of countless different vegetables and 2 types of meat. The temperature of the food was piping hot, the plate was full of delicious, good quality food and it was considerably cheap as well. The place has got many different types of homemade cakes, and it serves coffees as well. We will be definitely coming back.

Bues i i'r caffi yma ychydig o wythnosau yn ol, ar ol ymweld a'r parc gyda fy'n nheulu. Roedd y bwyd wedi cymryd amser hir i fod yn barod ond roedd y bryd yn blasus dros ben. Bydden wedi hoffi i'r staff fod ychydig yn fwy 'welcoming' a roedd y caffi ychydig yn fach ond os yn anwybyddu hyn, fe ges i amser da iawn a bwyd neis hefyd. I went to the cafe a couple of weeks ago after visited the park with my family. the food took longer than expected to arrive but the meal was very delicious. I would have loved for the staff to be a bit more welcoming as the cafe was a little small but if I was to ignore this I had had a lovely time and a lovely meal to go with it.
