The plough and harrow in Carmarthenshire

This is a very pleasant pub with great food. We always make a point of visiting when we are staying on the Gower. Staff are always pleasant and helpful and on this occasion we were looked after very well by Matilda. The mocktails were great fun and made up for not being able to have a drink when driving. Food is well -cooked with good options. Excellent choices for vegetarians, vegans and GF as well

It's shut and has been for about two years. It wasn't very good when it was open so don't be too disappointed that your missing out

Lovely wee pub and we were made to feel very welcome. It's so good to see pubs like this surviving and thriving through covid. I wish the owners so much luck to come. Hope the marquee stays strong!

Came here for Sunday lunch. A gem of a place. Old fashioned pub, lovely food and great service.....We will return

Great choice of food on the menu, lovely atmosphere, really affordable. We were staying nearby in an Airbnb and popped in for some dinner. BEST DECISION OF THE TRIP. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this place. The welcome was warm and they agreed to serve us dinner even though it was after 8pm, which was so kind of them and saved us a 45 minute drive! The service was brilliant - they couldn't do enough for us. We had delicious hunters chicken and fish and chips which was all clearly homemade. For dessert we had freshly baked brownies made by the lovely owner. that morning. It was a wonderful evening. We got chatting to the owners who were really warm and funny. We honestly would come back to this area of Wales just to check in for lunch or dinner one night and enjoy this spot again. Also, super helpful big car park directly opposite, and loads of great scenery everywhere around.

I preferred it when the previous owners had it. Food was much nicer and they knew how to treat their customers and staff. Seem to have a lot of young people working there? Maybe to save some£. Poor Sunday dinner. Just isn’t the same anymore. Won’t be returning.

I visited this restaurant today and was so disappointed with the carvery. Compared to the prices other businesses charge, I feel they are overpriced and the standard is extremely low. The two owners rely on young workers, they look 15 at the most. The place is grubby and looks very worn down. I would not reccomend this place at all. Overall the food is poor as well as the atmosphere. Very disappointed, do NOT waste your money visiting.

Lovely setting great friendly service overall the food was nice but the chips were the worst I've ever had. I would 100% change the chips then you would get a 5 out of 5, kids couldn't eat them they were way too hard. Overall great place just that little let down that's all

Sunday lunch is a carvery. Choice of beef or ham = ."best roast beef ever" I had a nut roast ( ordered when I booked) it was a good sized portion and lovely and crunchy. Good Veg selection of roast & herby mash potato. broccoli. Cauli. Roast parsnips. Mashed Swede. Carrots.peas. Excellent service. Calm atmosphere = we were there 12.30. We sat in the Conservatory which was bright & warm.

We were staying for a week at a nearby B&B and ate at the Plough and Harrow twice. This pub has apparently had a troubled past with various owners but the present team have been in charge for 3 months. They were really welcoming and friendly and are starting to win back customers it seems. The food was good, old fashioned pub fare at a great price and cooked to order. We liked it so much we went back for a second evening and were not disappointed. If you are looking for gastopub food this is not for you but if you want your meals straightforward and with good portions you won't be disappointed. They have various themed nights and we were there for pie and curry night offering two mains for £12 which was excellent value. Would definitely recommend and to support the new owners as they make a go of this new venture.

Called in after a shopping trip with my daughter. I had steak and she had chicken korma!! Brilliant value for money with the amount on the plate. Steak was a whopper, just how I like it! And my daughter said her korma was the best she’d ever had!! Very attentive service and a brilliant welcome! We look forward to returning

Been going here for over 30 years but this rescent visit was terrible so wont be going back in a hurry.music was too loud and after asking for it to be turned down it was soon turned back up,food was a bit cold and first time no starter offered.we were in and eaten and out in less than 30 mins

Meat was good as were the roast potatoes. Carrots weren’t peeled and were very rubbery, as if they had been microwaved. For £9.95 I would have expected more choice of meat, and vegetables, at least cauliflower cheese. The food was on slightly warm. Thought we would give it a try as new managers in, will have to wait and see, hopefully they will receive some advice from Marcia about the food.

Not good food. Had too wait 30 mins for pudding and then she said are u ready too order your pudding when we all ready had 30 minutes before not a sorry or nothing. Yes they only started out but cold food and waiting ages for it really wasn't happy

This lovely community pub has a big cosy fire in the bar, popular Sunday carvery. Dogs welcome in the bar area. New management are really friendly and keen to make your visit great. Handy location for a short drive out of Carmarthen to enjoy a country pub. Large car park.

Booked our Christmas Party here last Friday evening and we thoroughly enjoyed. The carvery is the best around, meat that melts in your mouth. Was a shame to witness members from another party which happens to be a tractor business situated down the road from this pub verbally assault all the staff there that evening. Considering were all supposed to supporting local businesses it was disgusting to witness their behaviour. However, they are renowned for this it seems. A small pub like this, coping under pressure during the busy Christmas period providing lovely pub grub and good service. Nothing more, nothing less than that. Da Iawn chi, fyddwn ni nol. DJ

Came here with some mates and I don't normally leave reviews, but wanted to warn anyone else considering coming here. Food was disgusting Service was awful Landlord was rude

We’ve been celebrating our Christmas functions at this pub for close on 40 years and tonight will be the last. We were presented with a £850 bill and we disputed it. While voicing our opinion the lady manager called the police. 4 police officers turned up!!! When we eventually calculated the bill it was half the original amount. We were only 15 in the party, 2 children, 5 were driving so only 8 were drinking. Most of us only had 3-4 drinks max. I’m really sad to have to leave this review but it was so bad that I felt it’s necessary. I would like to add that we were in the conservatory and it was like an ice rink due to condensation. Also from the moment we arrived the lady manager was rude. She accused me of causing trouble when I had only just arrived. On the positive the waitresses were very polite and helpful.

Fish was nothing like the picture rather several fish bites glued together with loads of thick gluey half cooked batter. Complain and you are asked to leave!

Out with friends steaks served and half eaten before chips arrived fish not a fillet at all but a load of peices stuck in a batter. The plates were cold and the owner wouldn't listen to our critisism and said we should have complained when we were asked if everything was ok but no one came to ourtable to ask if all was ok!

The Sunday dinner carvery was tasty but could have done with more choice of veg and a more generous portion of meat. At £9.25 each, it was well over priced. Dessert menu was limited. The Mint Aero Sundae was a joke, half a sundae glass of bland ice cream with a dollop of cream on top. Presentation very poor and unimaginative. Staff seemed friendly but I won't return as this visit was just average.

This has to be one of the best carvery meals around. Very tasty, fresh vegetables - and excellent value for money. (oh and happy, friendly staff)!

This is a carvery & the best around. They give so much meat & everything is fresh. Really good service too & relaxed atmosphere & child friendly. Only criticism is ditch the 1970’s tiny wine glasses.

Bring your appetite, this is good home cooking at its tastiest. Not only is the quantity good but also great quality too. Staff are friendly and efficient. The pub is an old fashioned pub it is not posh but is comfortable, has a good atmosphere and the staff make you feel welcome.

I’m a pub grub fan. It’s hard to find a place that doesn’t cut corners, and delivers a solid meal. I can honestly say, the best Guiness, chips and steak I’ve had in a long time. Reasonably priced and a nice feel with an open fire, highly recommend.

Had a late lunch here when staying for a weekend away to watch a bit of Rugby.

What a fantastic place, a little gem. This is a very homely country pub just a few miles out of town centre. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was fantastic.

Hemos tenido la mejor comida que he probado. Como una comida homeccoked. Asado de cerdo, ternera y chispeante con patatas crujientes horneados (así como puré de guisantes, coliflor). col, brócoli, financiarlo con deliciosos budines Yorkshire y la salsa. No hay espacio para la gran postres buscando en el menú.

Haven't been for a while,but not disappointed,lovely food,homemade pies to die for with chips and veg or potatoes and veg,lovely desert and friendly staff,must visit more often!

Tuvimos el almuerzo de domingo con mi familia. Había una buena variedad de carnes y verduras. Fue bueno y nos sirvieron rápidamente, el personal era muy amable y educado. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo gracias a todos.

Visited with my partner and son last night and was warmly welcomed and given a lovely service throughout! Food was outstanding although we struggled to eat our main meals after having such a large starter. No complaints towards our food except maybe a little too much of it. Will definitely be visiting again very soon!

Mi compañero y yo estábamos buscando un restaurante local donde no habíamos probado antes. Nos encontramos con este lugar y no eran en absoluto decepcionado. Porciones enormes!! Muy bien preparado y con un personal muy atento. Sin duda nos volveremos a comer aquí de nuevo muy pronto.

He vivido a pocos kilómetros de este pub/restaurante durante más de dos años y medio, hasta ahora pero que los nuevos propietarios tomaron más de hace unos meses, siempre pasaba. El aparcamiento siempre tenía tan pocos coches, incluso en domingo, lo cual no creo que fue un anuncio muy bueno.

Just been to have a fantastic carvery with my family , nice friendly staff and good food would recommend for a nice quite family pub

Went for a meal with close friends had heard the food was good but was amazed at the quality and quantity excellent value for money would highly recommend to anyone very warm and welcoming staff thoroughly enjoyed my visit

Just come back from a family meal out with my four year old and hubby and i absolutely had to come straight onto TripAdvisor and leave my review. I live just up the road from this pub and have never been but have heard many good things about the food. Tonight we decided just to pay a visit purely for the beer garden/play area but ended up having dinner, desert and one too many glasses of wine! The staff were fantastic - very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I was actual disappointed for them that the place was quiet as i felt that they deserved far more custom than what they had. The food was outstanding, all fresh & home cooked and you could absolutely tell. It was delicious and i cleared my huge plate full. I was actually quite surprised that my hubby enjoyed his meal and didn't complain about the price as he is usually so picky!! My 4 year old ate her chips (which she normally won't touch but they looked amazing) and then entered her own little world as she wolfed down a chocolate fudge cake without stopping. The play area - although a little unkempt was probably one of the best out of any local pub around, it certainly kept her entertained. We will most definitely be returning and i'm sure we will fast become locals to this amazing little gem in the countryside. Definitely worth a visit!!!

Heard it was great so i treated my friends to a meal, we were so please with the value you get for your money the food is fresh and the service is so welcoming, they have even have a secure play area for the kids, so will be bringing the kids next time.. over the moon with everything and worth the drive from swanse highly recomended... the chips are AMAZING best chips arround all home made you cant get better than that. 5 stars from me and my friends.

Attentive/friendly staff & the food we received was lovely, but a lot of the starters & main meals were "off" which obviously limited the selection available considerably. Would have been far better if new menus were printed. Such a shame

The Plough is situated just outside town, it's an outdated country pub serving traditional meals. The Sunday Carvary is fairly simple and plentiful and home style.The food is average but not bad value for money.What I did object to was being charged £5 for two soft drinks that were not even what we asked for.I have been here before but I don't think I'll go back as you can get better in the area.

While a little way outside Carmarthen, this pub is well worth finding. The owners are excellent when it comes to preparing and serving high quality traditional British food and desserts. Premises are very clean and the hosts friendly. They have themed specials nights, Wed is pie night lovely home made food with fresh vegetables and the portions are good. Great value for money

As soon as my wife and I walked into the plough we were welcomed with open arms .... Roger the bar man aka the landlord was very pleasant with us whilst the restaurant was packed with customers.. As soon as we got our drinks we were shown to a table by a lovely waitress who was kind and curtious toward my wife and I ... We walked up towards the cavery and we were warmly greeted by the lovely Marcia who asked us where we were from and did we visit the premises before that day... We had 3 choices of meat which looked fabulous... The plate was hot and all the vegetables looked lovely and plenty of choice... Whilst we were eating a lovely blonde waitress asked us how our food was and did we want extra gravy boat for our tables ... As we finished our food we were asked if we wanted pudding but we declined as were full from our food ... We finished our drink and paid and were greeted out by the owners and the waitresses.. We totally will call back in the near future and hopefully roger and Marcia will stay for a long time there ...

Myself and family visted this country pub only 2 miles out of Carmarthen on a Friday evening.They have a special menu of 2 main meals for £11.50 (yes that's for the two).The food is always wholesome and hearty and we thourghly enjoyed.I highly recommend.

Amazing service, friendly and helpful.Excellent food, more than willing to cater to any additional requirements.Great Atmosphere.Overall the place to go for any occasion, party, family meal, few drinks, friendly get together o'r fundraising event.

6 of us 5 had the pies, excellent food, good portions and at a great price. Would I visit again ? YOU BET I WILL.I loved the jokes in the men's restroom.

Went there for sunday lunch.Service was excellent .Plenty of meat and fresh veg fabulous meal and sweet.Excellent value for money

Get there early as as it quickly fills up with locals taking advantage of the substantial and good value home-made pies served with a generous portion of fresh vegetables.

As a frequent customer I can say that there is a First class Sunday lunch at a reasonable price at the Plough and Harrow. Booking is advisable for Sunday lunch as it is a popular venue. Pie Night on Wednesday night with a choice of approx six different pies on the menu, all at a reasonable price, excellent. Friday Night 2 for 1 special menu, good value for money. A la carte menu also available on other days with a good choice of meals. Roger and Marcia the mine hosts have always given my wife and I a warm welcome. Well recommended.

We were treated by our neighbours, who had prebooked this, the staff were aware that my daughter was vegatarian.Not only had they prepared vegatarian sausages, but her own gravy as well as highlighting the items that had been prepared in vegatable fat. I chose both meats, and observing the sign hanging on the counter resulted in a generous serving. My son is somewhat shy and nervous in new surroundings, and one of the staff helped him chose his servings and carried the plate to the table for him. Just these extra service touches would have earned a five star from me. The food was great, and as for the strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake....fantastic

Just before Christmas is always a busy time but I took the risk and treated my extended family to a Sunday lunch. The quality of the food was superb, it being all home-made. There were plenty of staff around to make sure we had everything we wanted. Drinks were very reasonably priced and, thankfully, no canned music to endure. We will certainly revisit.

Pie Night, great choice on the menu. The service was great the food came out quick. Presented well. Worth every Penny. Will be going back.

We were looking for Sunday lunch last week. Went into one pub in Rhos and it was cold, empty and very uninviting so we decided to head for Carmarthen. As we passed The Plough & Harrow, we noticed how full the car park was and decided to give it a go. It was warm, welcoming and very busy. We got our drinks at the bar and were shown to a table and told we would be called up to the carvery shortly. Only a 5 minute wait and there was a choice of roast beef, roast pork or both carved by a very nice lady. We helped ourselves to the assortment of vegetables and gravy.The meal was delicious and perfectly cooked, the gravy was very tasty and we were asked during our meal if we would like a gravy boat on the table. The service was very attentive and friendly.Highly recommended.

Had a meal recently and it was exactly what was needed, friendly staff good service reasonable prices and tasty food Will be back soon
