Fantastic 2 night stay in the B&B rooms above the family run gastro pub. A warm welcome (even to an Englishman 😂) from everyone both sides of the bar! Dog friendly and very much a countryside theme in the decor throughout. Close to many scenic attractions including Carly ruins, long empty beaches and shopping. Several cask ales on draught and a full compliment of wines and spirits. Full menu from breakfasts, lunches, and evening meals using local produce. Real fires and cosy rooms to have your meal. Clean and stylish rooms to relax in afterwards, with a good night’s sleep.

Excellent value for money 3 course Sunday lunch. Choice with each course and served with all the trimmings. I had veg samosas to start, tender beef as main and strawberries and ice cream in a meringue nest for dessert. Covid measures to perfection felt very safe. Looking forward to my next visit. And looking forward to when they are back cooking on week nights xx

6 of us went for evening meal. Only minus was that I thought the potato skins starter for 2 small pieces was overpriced and pizza could have done with a little more filling but other than than the service was excellent and all the dishes we had were very good, I had beef and stilton pie which was very tasty. Salmon risotto was very nice

Felt welcome from the minute we arrived. Proper local pub with friendly and helpful owners and and staff. Everyone was made aware of the COVID rules and proper precautions taken. We had Sunday lunch which was just like a tasty family meal, tender beef with all the trimming and the stuffing was something to aspire to. Definitely somewhere to come back to.

Then following visit fish and chips which were cooked to perfection and very tasty with a lovely helping of bread and butter to make a chip butty 😊 there were a good array of people in there young and old enjoying their night.

I went with my parents for a family meal out and the experience wasn't unpleasant but the food was nothing to write home about. I had fish and chips and the fish was soggy inside, not much flavor at all and the chips were so subpar. I honestly could have cooked better fish and chips from my freezer at home. It's very much a blokes pub for a few pints and watch the sports, it definitely wasnt the best meal we've had for the price of around £10 per person. To be fair the service was very friendly, can't say a bad word about that. Just the food was nothing special.

Our 3rd visit to this pub. If away in our caravan we try and time it so we can walk the dogs at Pembrey then come here for Sunday lunch. They don't permit dogs inside but there's a few outside tables. At £10.50 for 3 courses the lunch in incredible value. Today's choices were mushroom soup or veggie spring rolls and sweet chilli sauce to start, beef or turkey for main and lemon meringue pie, rhubarb crumble or banana bread and butter pudding for main. Hubby and I both opted for veg spring rolls which arrived swiftly, piping hot with a nicely dressed salad on the side. Fresh baked bread rolls and Welsh butter accompanied the starter. The roast dinners were lovely, the veg in particular was seasonal and so tasty we wondered if it had come from an allotment or veggie patch. Proper home made roasties plus a really tasty new potato too. Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and a jug of extra gravy. This is not a churned out generic pub Sunday lunch. This is like a lunch your mum or grandmother would have cooked. No 'al dente' veg here, it's 'properly cooked' as my hubby would say. For pudding we both opted for the lemon meringue pie. Clearly homemade the pastry was crisp and buttery, the lemon curd tangy and the meringue top just the right amount of crispness on the top. I'll even forgive them the squirty cream on the side. Family run, the service is personal and attentive. This place wraps you in a big warm hug and is why we'll keep coming back when in Carmarthenshire

Traditional 3 course Sunday lunch..pate to start with just enuf salad to accompany. Main was a beef dinner with massive roasts Yorkshire puds stuffing, mashed Swede was delicious as were the carrots...not being a big lover of these 2 veg they were so good I ate the lot! Not sure what the secret is! Cabbage was perfect and the beef was like butter!! Followed by lemon sponge & custard served piping hot and very tasty! Lovely atmosphere very homely with a pleasant smile from the lovely landlady. Very attentive service. Will return for this treat again on a Sunday lunchtime.

The landlady and her family were so welcoming and friendly, always asking how our day went and telling us about the local area which we found useful. Hubbies Diabetic Alert Dog, Elkie, was made very welcome and became a topic of conversation.

We had dinner at the pub. To start with, the barman had no idea whether they stocked any local ales. The meals were extremely poor. I had fish and chips and the size of the fish was miniscule. It was about the size of a small fish cut in half. The poor meal was matched by poor service.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Staying in the area on holiday and really fancied a Sunday lunch. 3 courses for £9.50 (choice of 2 starters, 2 mains and 3 puddings) and kids £7.50. It was so cheap, we weren’t expecting it to be amazing food, just happy not to have to cook or wash up but what a JEM of a find! Good old fashioned pub, really friendly, personable service and homemade, super tasty food. Highly recommend!!!!

I visited the Red Lion last weekend with my son. As soon as we walked through the door we were given a very warm welcome by the lovely landlady and her son, Gwen and Rob. My son and I are very fussy eaters and when ordering our food we asked to swap and change things for our meal. They were very helpful in doing this and it was no trouble for them. Gwen and Rob were both very friendly and they made my son laugh and took an interest (unlike most places who turn their nose up at children). My son thoroughly enjoyed and cannot wait to go back. The service was outstanding, I would highly recommend.

Called in on Saturday evening with my 2 teens as i didn't fancy cooking. As usual Gwen made us feel very welcome. Great service and very accommodating with the choices and even asked the chef to make up one of the sauces without mushrooms as requested. Normally i can manage my steak blue but owing to overindulging on Friday night I was feeling a little fragile but even when I asked if I could have it cooked longer so my delicate tummy could manage it Glenn was happy to cook it to me taste and when it came back to me it was delicious and meant my hangover from the previous night was soon chased away. (with the help of several orange juice and lemonades) We even managed deserts and can recommend the crumble and custard, very tasty. Would have no hesitation recommending the Red Lion if you are looking for hearty fare and a friendly warm welcome.

So on a wet and miserable Saturday afternoon, with nothing better to do, we walked from Pembrey Country Park to the Red Lion, only to be greeted with °we don't allow dogs here, we don't°. So I have no idea what their food and drink is like. But the place itself is pretty dark and dank, and understandably empty, with just a couple of old guys huddled in the corner.

Despite only living a few miles away, this was my first visit to The Red Lion in Pembrey and it won't be my last! It was a freezing evening and our group of 10 had dwindled to one carload - 5 of us. We all ordered different meals and everyone enjoyed their food. My steak, with a jacket potato and peas, was delicious. Friends had the freshly beer battered fish with chips or potatoes. Each meal was attractive and very tasty! The special dish of the day didn't disappoint either - pan-fried chicken. We were even tempted by the puddings - trying the waffle with strawberry ice-cream and a knickerbocker glory type ice-cream sundae. Well done and thank you! - See you again soon.

Spent a few days in the area and loved it here. In a world of gastro pubs and hipster eateries, the Red Lion is a refreshing change. I'm a veggie and the vegetable bake was fresh and generous with plenty of nicely cooked fat chips. My partner's gammon was said to be tender and a generous portion too. Sadly, neither of us had room for a pud! Friendly buzz in the pub despite Wales losing the rugby...

Having walked 1.5 miles from a campsite, we felt we had little alternative than to eat here as the much better looking pub across the road was closed for a funeral wake. The fish and chips was actually cooked fine, not difficult I know and the barmaid was very pleasant and helpful but the place is a tip, dirty carpets, conservatory with the ill fitting blinds all pulled down at 7.00 in June, scruffy tables and just totally unloved.

Atmosphere was very good. Went for Sunday lunch which is a fixed menu (with choices) of a three course meal for £9.50. Choice of two starters, different roast dinners & veggie, three different desserts. Easy to book a table. Was made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Was given a sample of the beer before buying to see if we approved - Tenby Harbour was gorgeous! The waitress was very friendly, efficient but did not invade our space and we could relax and enjoy the gorgeous food (good size portions) without being rushed. Plenty of space between the tables so could have conversations without feeling that we might annoy people on other table. A pleasant experience and would definitely go back. A good friendly family run pub. [For people with children - there were colouring books, and various games to keep them amused]

The landlady was very polite and showed us to the conservatory as it would be quieter.My mum being in her 80's has an allergy to onions, and having told her, she could not do enough for us. Willing to make sauces & certain meals specially. Some (like pies) already had onions in, of which she was very apologetic. The food came out efficiently and and was beautifully cooked and very tasty.Would definitively return and recommend

Lovely chatty landlady. Good beer. A lovely local pub with lots of local people. Had gammon steak at around £10.50. Big portion and delicious. Will definitely come back here next time we're in Pembrey.

Always prepared to support local events and charities, this small cosy pub, holds a wonderful warm and friendly atmosphere under the ownership of Glen & Gwen Spittles. It is situated in the Centre of the Ancient Village of Pembrey in Carmarthenshire. If you're passing, and looking for a great meal, the the Red Lion is well worth a visit.

We chose this nice little pub because it had good reviews for home cooking. So the four of us were shown into the conservatory into old pub style bench seats and given the menus. It's not extensive but certainly enough to give us four some thinking about what to have. Food was clearly cooked fresh and came after about 20 minutes. It was all piping hot and plentiful. We had two different curries, a steak and a lasagne. Puddings followed and coffees. In the meantime the bar was buzzing win darts match and Rugby World Cup being shown live. A really great pub. The food was very nice (the curries were very mild and could have done with a little more spice) and the service friendly.

Wonderful food, as usual! The steaks we had were all cooked absolutely as we asked for.Watched the big rugby match and the landlord Glen had his lovely waistcoat on and although the result wasn't good for our English contingent, we all thoroughly enjoyed our night eating and listening to the banter and the "singing"?!

... Small local pub ... friendly atmosphere ... run by a lovely family... very welcoming ... we were a group of 8 ladies ... various ages ... a hen party. Some of us played pool and darts. The drinks were very reasonable and the lager was well kept and a good there was a small but good choice of alcohol. We all had fun and felt relaxed. The Sunday dinner was beautiful ... one of the best that I have had in many years ... homemade and fresh ... 3 courses at an truly amazing price. Service with a smile ... efficient and friendly. This served as a lovely end to a special weekend ... You really must try this pub ... !!!!

we were driving through the square when thoughts of my grandfather came back to me.he used to keep the farm just up the hill in the backroom,drawing beer out oflarge kegs laying down behind the bar.and used to call in and have a drink with the landlord.it has changed since then,it now sells food ,the smell was starting to draw me in like a magnet.i had to refuse food as i knew i had an appointment and wouldnt have time. i had to leave this very pleasant little pub, the atmosphere was good, i will be back.

Just visit Wales and stumbled across this pub one evening, it was getting late and the wife and I decided to eat here. To be fair I didn't think much of the inside, dark and small so I wasn't expecting much from the food but to my surprise we had a lovely meal I had the gammon steak and the wife vegetarian lasagne which she enjoyed, it tasted like proper home cooked food :) if your round that way I would definitely recommend it

A small Family run Public House located in the village square. Booking lunch on the off chance we were uncertain of what we would get but were highly delighted with a good wholesome three course roast meal for a reasonable price. The staff were very friendly and helpful

If you like a nice beef steak then look no further! The chef buys his meat from a small Swansea butcher and it’s both great quality and well cooked at an amazingly low price! It’s a pub as well as a restaurant so whether you are looking to eat or just have a beer, it’s great! The only downside is that Doombar is the only ale they keep, you would expect a local welsh beer.
