The Lodge & Tea Shop in Carmarthenshire

Cash only, so we had to leave, probably money laundering. Took us ages to park, and the catering supplier was packed in the disabled bay which made it very difficult for me and my partner. Disabled bay had no margin around it, and awkward angle.

Small, friendly pub with a great range of craft ales and a small stage for music or cultural events. Free book exchange and a great vibe.

Been here twice now and really enjoyed the burgers , will be back highly recommended to anyone in the area for a decent bite to eat.

Visited on a busy weekend and luckily got a table. The guy who greeted us was very friendly and active in the shop, making sure everyone was okay. I visited with my partner and friends, we had two pots of teas and baguette/toasties. Although I can’t comment on the toasties the baguette was delicious! It seemed very fresh and artisan; a nice thin crunchy outside but soft and fluffy inside. The ham and cheese were both really high quality and it went down a treat. Not being a massive tea drinker I wasn’t sure what to go for but ended up with an Earl Grey Rose tea. It was delicious. A subtle touch of rose brought the whole thing together very well. I enjoyed so much I bought a bag to take home. The shop had a nice atmosphere. When I visited the main clientele were older people, but although my group all being in our early-early 20s, we didn’t feel out of place, which was nice. I know this can be awkward for some people. The place was clean and tidy and warm. It is a cosy place to spend a hour having a chat, a tea and a bite to eat. Definitely want to go again. Also very surprised by the nice initiatives in place, but I won’t say more as I’d hate to ruin the surprise for any newcomers. Staff were also kind and friendly too. Thanks for a nice experience and tasty tea

What a find! I often change trains/buses in Carmarthen but rarely have time to explore. Today a had a 40 minute gap so pegged it up to the town from the station and found this lovely deli. The window was full of beautiful breads and pastries, inside loads more goodies. I didn't have much time to browse but everything looked amazing and fantastic value. I chose a baguette with salami, goats cheese and fig - just £5.50 and stuffed with top quality ingredients. It was absolutely delicious, the best sandwich I've had in years. So happy I found this place - it has absolutely taken the misery out of a (very) long journey! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
