The Red Kite Inn in Carmarthenshire

A great stay, our 2nd stay beautiful room, only complaint, the shower needs looking at, the drain needs lifting out, clogged up with hair, the hose won't stay up. Apart from that lovely.

Fabulous food and hospitality great 👍

Friends, cozy atmosphere with great well presented food. Highly recommended.

Good carvery and was cheap on a Sunday, nice slice of beef, great desert, would go again they also have quorn sausage for the vegetarian option

We attended on bank holiday Monday for a meal having read reviews of local pubs. We were not disappointed. Our table was ready for us on arrival and we were sat right away in the tasteful restaurant area. Our drinks were ordered and brought straight to the table. The menu options are exceptional and cater for all types of tastes. I had cheesy garlic bread as a starter which was a good portion size. Amanda had the garlic mushrooms which were amazingly displayed and tasted as good as they looked. For mains I had the hunters chicken which was amazing. Amanda had the pan fried chicken in white wine, garlic and tarragon sauce. It also tasted amazing. A huge selection of desserts on offer which of course we had to try. Staff were really friendly and had a laugh with us. Overall I would completely recommend the Red kite for food and we can’t wait to try the Sunday Carvery.

Lovely meal. Nice service. Large portions.

Prima pub/Inn waar je goed kunt eten tegen een redelijke prijs. De bediening is vriendelijk. We hebben er twee keer gegeten en beide keren kregen we een goed en smakelijk gerecht. Het eetgedeelte is apart van de rest van de pub, dus dat is om lekker rustig.

We went there to meet family who had travelled from down south. Lovely pub but was quite disturbed to see the young barmaid go outside on 3 occasions for a smoke and come back in and not wash her hands or anti bac. Hasn't covid taught us anything? Other than that the experience was good.

Went for Sunday carvery, the food was lovely and tasty. Huge portions of slow cooked meat, really good califlower cheese too. The staff are really friendly and couldnt do enough for us. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful clean rooms and the staff were very helpful, the locals were very informative and friendly. Would definitely stay here again, thank you.

Not provided with any menus on arrival for Sunday lunch. Service swift but certain staff appeared loud, rude and wearing dirty clothing/ uniforms. Meat was very dry, vegetables tasteless and Only warm gravy not great. All served on cold plates so by the time you got food to table was barely Luke warm. Very poor disappointing meal. Would not recommend or return.

Lovely Sunday lunch let down by not being warm enough. Just barely enjoyable because of this, but the food is good quality cooked properly and plentiful. Nice to see social distancing being observed so carvery not self service at the moment.

Last minute overnight stay, beautiful room, friendly welcome and ample tea and coffee in the room, would recommend

Great good, drinks, service and prices. Eaten out 100's of places of the years but this is one of the best.

A great welcome when we visited The Red Kite Inn today. We all had a 2 course Sunday lunch which was superb. Plenty of food served and to a very high quality. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. The drinks were reasonably priced. It also had a great atmosphere which is sadly lacking in many pubs these days. Our first time to visit here but certainly not our last. Five stars, very well deserved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Called in on a Saturday afternoon friendly staff but the food was nearly inedible my stake was way over cooked and the chips were hard I'd give them 3 out of 10 because the onion rings were nice. Very disappointed as we've been wanting to try it out for a long time 😒😒

Friendly staff lovely food would recommend

Had a lovely roast dinner staff and particularly the chef where great definitely be back

I booked one night and of course dinner too as there is nothing else nearby. Mainly it’s a pub with rooms on the road. The room was clean and pleasant, the bathroom tiny but functional. Wifi was good. Breakfast is not included and anyway they began too late for me. Dinner was good, with the typical pub menu. I had a soup, lemon sea bass filet with chips and mint cheese cake, all home made and tasty. The owners are very kind. There is parking on the premises. The price for the room was very good (55£), the meal relatively expensive.

We had a meal here last Saturday evening. We intended to have a dessert as well but honestly the portions were so big we had no room for one! The staff were pleasant and helpful. And I have to say the food was piping hot, even near the end of the meal the food was steaming with heat.

Fantastic welcome today carvery the best ever and staff very nice and helpful.. Barstaff made me and guys laugh ..Big thanks for a fab stop off with our motorbikes as ARNIE SAID I'LL BE BACK .....

My son and partner took me for birthday meal food was amazing staff could not do enough for you. Having lived down the road many years ago seen the pub change many names.i was proud that they exelled with the food and should be proud.nnb

Visited twice. Nice meals, varied menu with the usual pub grub on offer. I had chicken in white wine cream sauce and dill. Partner had the pie which he enjoyed. The galaxy cheesecake was a generous slab as was the sticky toffee pud. Pretty reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Dont bother absolutely pathetic unacceptable behaviour from staff. Went in with my son who's 21 he didn't have I'd got thrown out cause he was drinking my drink. The law states they can drink wiv a meal with adults. I'm saying they are judging by my colour. Walked out wivout paying🤦‍♂️ In response 2 your post look the law up, or u making ur own law up by colour of skin seems 2 every1 I have spoken 2 u. That you are. Someone aged 16 or 17 and accompanied by an adult, can drink (but not buy) beer, wine or cider with a meal at a licensed premises (except in Northern Ireland). But it’s illegal for people this age to drink spirits in a pub anywhere in the UK, even with a meal. If your restaurant does not want to abide the law this should clearly be stated at bar & on entering your premises. But I did not see any signs. I feel i was being targeted for the colour of my skin. Never in my life i have ever been refused or asked to leave a pub/restaurant for anything let alone giving my own child alcohol and I have 3 children & the son I was with was the youngest. Shocking behaviour from a local pub. No I did not pay for my drinks & I'm still waiting for police to knock my door. I will be taking this matter further

Good atmosphere, good food, good company.

Went here for dinner today after going to see the alpacas 🦙 with my kids and wife. Great service and great food. Highly recommend. The chef and waitress were very attentive and done everything they possibly could for us. Hopefully we can go back soon and take other members of the family with us. This place deserves 5 stars for sure! Thank you 🙏

Really, really wanted a carvery. Did a Google and The Red Kite came up. We didn't check out reviews because we'd been here before with relatives last year on a weeknight. Remembering how much we enjoyed our first visit we decided to have carvery today. I had a stroke last year which has left me disabled and from the moment we arrived the staff greeted us and checked I was safely navigated to my seat. (Disabled access is limited so check first). Chef came out to suggest how we get me plated up and served easily. Plate arrived and it was chock a block with vegetables and meat. All very tasty. Turkey was a little dry but assuming it had been kept hot for a while and we got there mid afternoon but, overall, lovely tasty food. Beautiful atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, tasty food and gorgeous country surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Celebrated my niece’s Birthday and came back to celebrate mine with family and friends. It was live music night, which they informed us of when booking. I was fine with that as the restaurant is the other side of the pub, well away from the band, so it wouldn’t really bother us. We arrived and a member of staff showed us to our table, but instead of being take to the restaurant we were taken around the corner to a table right next to the music. We were the only people who were sat on this side of the pub that evening. As we headed towards the table the member of staff said” You’d better be quick in case people take your table” ??? Never had to worry about losing a reservation from other people in a pub before? How to describe where we were sat. We sat in the main thoroughfare to the toilets. I myself was sat at the end of the table so close to the ladies toilet that I could, if I so wished, open the ladies toilet door from my seat. Women negotiated around my chair to go to the loo. Drinkers congregated in the walkway basically standing directly over us dining, my sister had drunk men placing pints down on her part of the table while she was eating and bumping into her, in her own words “ If one more person leans into me I’m going to lose it” The music was so loud where we were we gave up trying to chat to each other at times. When we booked they never once mentioned where they’d be seating us and I would have said no immediately if they’d told me that when I booked and would have gone elsewhere as I know the pub very well and never in a million years would I want to have sat there during a Friday night of live music. I had considered just leaving, but people were hungry and not long finished work and they needed to eat and trying to book for so many of us last minute would have been impossible. The food. I’m not sure it’s the same chef as we had a month ago, I could be wrong, but the difference was surprising. My steak pie again was great, but one of our group had a burger and said it was “disgusting” Two members of the group had coleslaw with their meals and I was shown both, untouched by them, it was grated cabbage and carrot in a small dish, dry, with no mayonnaise and the veg was curled and dry to the touch as if the “coleslaw” had been standing out for hours. Every person who had chips said the same thing, it was like a child’s portion, the amount of chips on each plate was a joke. Others weren’t overly impressed with elements of their food. It was all so good a month earlier. I do also have to say that later in the evening I had the misfortune of talking to the chef, I’m sure it’s not the same guy as I spoke to before, I mistook him as a member of the bar staff, in my defence he was behind the bar quite a few times while I was there. I asked this man a non food related question and just got attitude from him, you would have sworn he owned the place, he was rude and condescending to such an extent that mid conversation I turned my back on him as I refuse to be spoken to by anyone that way. Maybe I’d suggest keep him away from customers, and coleslaw obviously. I have to end by saying the staff were excellent as always, with a special mention to Emily behind the bar, friendly, helpful and a real asset to The Red Kite. So, our meal was ruined by The Red Kite squeezing people in to maximise profit, a very short term gain that will cost in the long term. We have already started to organise our next get together but it won’t be at The Red Kite. I said in my last review that I’d be back, I came back, but I won’t again.

We visited with a group of 10 friends for a carvery. Staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend

Went for Sunday lunch and has a lovely home cooked carvery meal. There was choice of three meats and plenty of vegetables. The plates were the largest I have come across so you need a good appetite Staff were very attentive as was the chef- service was provided on an individual basis so there was no long queue- you were told when it was free for you to go up and be served. Gravy was t thick and tasty. Highly recommended excellent value for money

What an experience. Highly recommend visiting the Red Kite. The Carvery was awesome and the staff so friendly. A great experience that does not disappoint. If we are back in the area again we will definitely be back Thank you so much

Small portions. Soup tasted burnt. Chips were covered in salt and inedible. So was bacon on hunters chicken. Peas were cold. Very disappointed we have had nice food previously but tonight was awful.

Hi all we had a lovely food and will be call there again soon thx to you all the staff have a great Christmas

Home cooked food, chips absolutely stunning. Excellent service couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be going back soon

We are new to the area and when we finished shopping early, we decided to pop in for lunch. Amazing from start to finish! Good ale (kept well); excellent menu choices; quick service and amazing food! Lovely atmosphere too. Will definitely be going back.

Thank you so much for a superb meal and lovely beer Emily and rest of staff made us feel so welcome, nothing was to much trouble :-) Great service and being made to feel welcome is the best for me. The food was spectacular...... genuinely best chips I have had (and they were on my wife’s plate.....had to steel a few ) Sweet potatoe fries were amazing as well. Fantastic service, amazing food, good times :-) Can’t wait for our next visit :-)

Enjoyed our evening, service was great as was the food. Tristan is a legend. We will definitely Come back, cheers

Another fantastic meal here. Service is second to none, can’t do enough for you. Staff are always smiling and happy. Food was outstanding and would highly recommend.

Fantastic Service. Fantastic Food. Social distancing policy adhered to by staff which made the visit feel very safe.

Tristun and Emily aka nancy were lovely! Best service ive had, lovely people! So funny and welcoming! The cheesecake was lush!! Highly recommend

Visited the restaurant this evening, the food was cooked to perfection and the service was outstanding. We love eating out at this place and the Sunday dinners are amazing also! Best cheesecake ever!

The staff could not be more helpful especially in the restaurant at dinner and breakfast. The meals were good and the bacon at breakfast was the best I’ve had.There isn’t any soap for washing in their accommodation so be aware you’ll need to take some.Overall though, a perfect stopover thank you,

Was staying local so called in here for dinner. Lovely chap serving in the restaurant and polite happy girl at the bar. Ordered Lasagne and OMG was amazeballs. Great home cooked food, belly says thanks too.

Amazing and delicious food for a really good price. Very friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble for them, no complaints. Will be back again.

We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch meals . They were excellent at maintaining the social distance measures at this time.

We weren’t told it was 5 pm before we could check in do waited outside for 30 minidress. The room was quiet (the place is on a busy road), clean and comfortable. No soap in the bathroom. Lovely shower. Great breakfast! Two of everything but thankfully we asked for one, as it was huge! Perfect egg for me.

We had been to the Red Kite a couple of times before lockdown and we were always impressed with the food and service. Then when lockdown came along, we took advantage of their Sunday roast takeaway,which is always second to none! Plus, very good portion sizes! We did try a couple of other places during this time, but nothing beats the Red Kite Inn and we will now not be going elsewhere!! Today we went into the Red Kite for the first time since restrictions were lifted and as always, the Sunday roast was amazing, as was the sweet potato soup for starter and the aero mint cheesecake for dessert (sooooo good)! Staff were amazing, very friendly, chatty and welcoming. Very reasonable priced as well.

My Wife and work colleagues from the Card Factory went for a meal as one of the girls was leaving. The overall experience was disappointing the food was rubbish. My wife had scampi which was nice but the chips were soggy and cold! On the whole a very disappointing experience. Will never go again.

Myself and my partner came for a meal (it was our date night) I had the beef lasagne and it was beautiful. It filled me up, the garlic bread that was served with it was stunning. We had a cheesecake each it was the Milkybar one and it was one of best cheesecakes I have tried. I recommend The Red Kite to anyone that wants a good meal with great service

Went for a meal with my friends and family and the service was absolutely amazing and so was the food

Came here for food with my partner and we enjoyed. I had the minted lamb chops and they were full of flavour and the sweet potato fries are amazing! I would highly recommend

We had a meal for 6 on Saturday night and the food was very good, the staff were attentive and the price was very reasonable. Would recommend the burger as one of the best I’ve had in a long time!

Stayed at the inn whilst we visited family in the area, lovely stay, lovely welcome, lovely place and lovely home made brekkie.Booked a week and we were very pleased with the room and facilities, being tastefully decorated whilst the pub itself is spacious with ample seating though has some nooks and corners to cosy up. The food is a real highlight with a menu that puts other places to shame and portions that even defeated my son who seemingly has hollow legs.Rhodhri and Harley make excellent hosts and welcomed us as if we were long lost friends, an attitude they seem to have instilled in all the staff who were always helpful and smiling (at least looked that way under the face masks). Rhodhri and Harley are working hard to get the place back on track after the Covid shutdown and I wish them every success

All staff kitted out in PPE and strictly followed safety guidance, lovely food, very professional, felt safe unlike the bar and kitchen we visited the following week
