The Sandpiper Brewers Fayre in Carmarthenshire

Update: visited again recently. Ordered a kids meal the menu said it came with 2 mini corn on the cobs. Turned up with just one, thought this was a mistake until I saw other kids meals coming out with just one on. They are cost cutting and hoping you don't notice ! When I asked the waitress about this they said the kitchen was " stingy" Ordered the smothered chicken burger. Well it definitely wasn't smothered. A tiny scrape of bbq sauce which was well hidden. A poor amount of chips- the kitchen must be rationing them! which led me at first to believe I was given a kids portion. This Along with a pitiful amount of coleslaw resulted in a very underwhelming meal. When I asked staff about this they said that's the standard portion size. For the child's meal.i ordered my son I had to ask twice for his 1 scoop.of ice-cream.. it took so long they must have gone to the antarctic to get it. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU ARE HUNGRY

Very nice friendly pub/restaurant with reasonable priced meals. Will go again.

Only called for a cuppa which was good but a couple from our group had fish and chips, which looked really nice.

Meal with friends. Good food and good buzz in the place.

First time in a long time perfect from arrival to leaving food amazing staff lively

Lunchtime special deal is good value - 2 meals for £11.99. Staff friendly and helpful.

Always a great meal. Reasonably priced food for all the family.

Great for kids, does get busy quick, great value.

Caroline very friendly and helpful, especially with offers available - nice outdoor setting overlooking lake on a nice sunny afternoon

Excellent restaurant, our favourite place to eat and chill out. Staff are always very welcoming and the food is of the highest quality. Resonible prices, especially the daytime value meals, served between 12pm and 6pm. 😀

Sunday carvery served until 18:00, table for 5 booked at 15:45, turned up to be told carvery has stopped due to running out of meat. Surely things like this should be accounted for when ordering/planning. Ourselves and many other in the queue behind us left when hearing this

We were a group of 5 and had Sunday lunch at the Sandpiper Llanelli. The food was great, the meat really tender, we all.had 3 meats, and the vegetables fresh. I can't fault it.

Lovely place for a pint on a sunny day, overlooking the lake. Did not eat.

Lovely lively pub. Good menu at reasonable prices

Had the grandchildren and the play area is really good, unfortunately it was raining so we could not enjoy the Lakeside tables, food was really good, friendly staff but not overpowering, top place

Great family meals and you can enjoy a walk around the water park. Beautiful views from the table.

Busy place. Lovely setting. Staff are friendly. Go there quite often. Food is good for price . Would recommend.

Always enjoy the food,the service is friendly and professional,reasonable prices,i can definitely recommend.

First time going to the sandpiper pub Llanelli and what we had was very nice 1 mixed grill 1 smothered chicken 1 rump steak all were cooked as we wanted definitely go there again but we live over 1hr away but if passing will pop in

Lovely food as I am adisabiled person I was well locked after I had to wait for my food a bit but it was well waiting for

Nice food for price will return

Located on the edge of a small lake, this is a typical Brewers Fayre pub. Only had a drink as passing through but looked like a good place to have a drink and meal in the sun on the banks of the lake.

Told to book carvery apparently we booked for 3.30 they cook till 6 at 3 we were told no meat left and we booked ruined our day as to late to go else where avoid .

Very busy Sunday service but got served quickly for drinks and food. Typical pub grub at reasonable prices.

We had an absolutely lovely breakfast! All you can eat hot buffet with cold yogurts, cereals and pastries too. The sausages were heavenly, and cooked to perfection. The hash browns were the crispiest things I've ever eaten! Everything was extremely clean. The toilets were also clean. My only suggestion would be to get another coffee machine. One coffee machine for all the tables made things a little slow.

I was there with my family as it was my birthday and we had a wonderful time. I was spoilt rotten x

Thoroughly enjoyed. Great service and food

It's a lovely pub in a perfect location. Food was lovely also. Staff are very friendly, I was served by Caroline, who was very helpful, kind, and friendly, would visit again 😀

Really nice venue opposite a large lake, very friendly and helpful staff...was able to fit us in at a very busy time, will book next time 😅 Food was delicious 😋 Will be coming back again soon. Just too note there is also a soft play area inside as well

On a very warm evening with a full restaurant and garden, the service was excellent. The staff worked so hard.

Excellent place to grab an unlimited breakfast. Highly recommend.

Quite a wait for food and we were unable to open a tab. Unfortunately with new menu there is limited vegetarian options. Friendly helpful staff .

Food was fine. Had to queue for a while even though we had booked. Waited ages for our desert..we asked on two occasions for it.

Cocktail - what you ask and what you get. Half glass and a very grumpy staff. Other than that the view is splendid.

I really enjoyed a meal at midday. Not too busy. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices with a cheaper lunch option available

The food was divine and recieved outstanding customer service from jay. Would recommend all on holiday to come visit such a glamorous establishment.

Good beer selection food a good selection and quality and good portions children's play area smart dining in area and a great beer garden overlooking the waterpark when sun is shining on a warm day it feels like you could be anywhere in the world ample parking and there is a premier inn on site

There's a proper soft play here so u can have a pint and a Sunday dinner whilst the kids actually play solid for an hr and a half. Then u can feed them if you want

Ideal for indoor or outdoor eating. Friendly helpful staff

Eat here a fair bit. Longest part is getting served, food can take a long time when bussy. Has a new look menu, pizza and gammon very nice.

Had my son's 5th birthday party at the Sandpiper soft play area and I couldn't fault it! I dealt with a member of staff called Jane, who took my initial booking and then helped me throughout the duration of my sons party. There was also another member of staff called Charlie who was working during my son's party and she was also very helpful and attentive. Jane was on hand to answer any queries I had and helped out so much, I was so grateful! The venue decorates the table and provides FREE party bags. All you do is turn up with a cake and a load of kids! What more could you want? It's a 2 course menu, starter and main! Think I might have found the perfect party venue for smaller kids!

Came here recently and we were going to have the Sunday roast as it stated it was served until 6pm however when we came at 4pm we were told they had just stopped serving the Sunday roast. As we were already there we decided to stay and order from the regular menu. I ordered the BBQ wings starter. - Worst wings I've ever had. They were extremely dry, like they had been left in an oven or under heat lamps for a LONG time. They were actually difficult to eat. The lady I was with ordered the fish and chips and the batter wasn't crispy at all however the fish size was massive and the fish itself was cooked well. Staff were friendly and the food came quickly.

Good value. Nice views of the lake.

We had a Sunday lunch there today - I think it was without doubt the worst & we have been there a few times as we really like it The beef was awful both myself & my daughter couldn’t eat it The turkey wasn’t too bad The beef’s never brilliant but looked so nice I decided to try it - but as expected it was so tough & chewy I had to leave mine & my daughter left hers The staff tho😊 wow all so helpful & polite Strange woman front of house we found a little odd tho, not the best to be in that position or maybe a little more training on “welcoming” guests Not sure if we will have another Sunday lunch again tho

Lovely pub by the lake, perfect for a pint in the sun.

Won't allow kids over 140 cm to go in soft play! Turned my 10 yr old daughter away from the soft play. Average food and miserable attitude from staff. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Just had breakfast and it was the best I have had for a long time All hot and fresh The staff Jay Sharon and Alison were great Would recommend to anyone visiting this area Looking forward to evening meal tonight

Sticky tables, faulty refillable drink machine, overpriced sub-par food. The server was pleasant. The staff seemed deflated and tired. The furniture was uncomfortable especially with a bad back.

Menu good selection. The food is excellent, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. Good Service. Lovely views from the terrace.

Caroline is an asset to your brand. Thank you for such a kind and friendly welcome today. Top service and exceeded my expectations.

Delicious food,cooked to perfection. Nice place, beautiful views of the lake. 👍

Nice location. Get there after 1800 hours and the price goes up.

Really nice pub friendly staff and good atmosphere food was great

Great spot by the lake. But prices are outrageous. It's cheaper in London.

Good food for reasonable price. 5 star food service

Was served by Christina, she was an absolutely lovely woman couldn't do more to help us. Food was amazing as well all fresh and hot. Not one bad word can be said about this restaurant

great welcome, first class well cooked food, great price that is the sandpiper Llanelli. Today we had a great experience, a superb server Sharon highly recommend Sharon, Aaron and the team at the Sandpiper Llanelli

I visited this place with my friend for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant atmosphere filled with locals. This restaurant seems to be beloved by all generations, as I noticed a diverse crowd that included grandparents, parents, and young adults. On the way to this place, there is a beautiful lake teeming with swans, geese, and ducks. The stunning scenery enhances the overall dining experience, making the food taste even better.

Went here on Sunday spent over £100 on food which was not nice chips weren't that warm not much choice only burgers mix grill or pies ect no choice of jacket potato or anything healthy would have been cheaper to go to McDonald's for what they asking for burger and chips

Tidy stay here as usual. Not the quickest when it comes to service but I enjoyed all the same 👍

Was looking forward to having family eat out day. Got there with excitement, the disappointment was when we had to wait for a very very long time before our meal arrived. Looks so disappointing. And they forgot the other part of our order, had to call a staff attention before a part was brought and till we left the last part didn’t arrive. We had to go somewhere else for proper meal. What a waste of money and time.

Great for kids. Food is decent and staff do their best to help manage play area.

Food was OK and value for monet

The only real negatives were the coffee station; a pot for cleans spoons, that had used spoons inside, and the surfaces were dirty and sticky. The tables were also a little bit sticky. The food was really good, and certainly value for money.

Beautiful pub, cannot fault it ⭐

Really bad service. Waited 40 minutes for a dessert.

Really enjoyed. Great food and service. It was very bizzy but didn't wait long for food and a drink. Been going for years.

Booked a table for 16 as my dad and step mum was visiting from Newcastle. Got to restaurant waited to be seen then was told the table we were on there were people still on there. Queued to get drinks while they sorted out a table. Got to our tables then went upto bar to order our food..waited over an hr for the starter which only 3 children and 4 adults ordered. Then 2 of the family had there main and the rest of us waited another hr for ours, 2 gave there food back and had refund as the food was cold. The barbecue ribs were smothered in some kind of seasoning no bbq sauce in sight tasted as if they had just put some spicy seasoning on it. When your paying nearly £17 for a meal you expect it to taste a bit nicer and hot. The guy working was apologetic as I know it wasn't his fault, but when bar staff are even commenting to a family member when he ordered drinks "oh your the one who complained about your food" and jokes he couldn't order his drinks was a bit unprofessional. Even if it was meant as a joke. Then we waited ages for 2 kids deserts in which took so long the kids had enough of waiting and went outside to play. It was busy but thats no excuse. We definitely won't be eating there again!

Very nice good food good atmosfer

A very nice spot beside a lake. Why have I not been here before. Great breakfast, lovely service. Will be back soon.

Had food here today ,although the cost is reasonable the food is very is cheap quality, a shame,,also noticed that tables are very close together too close and also a health hazard, Too many tables have been put in the place

Service was OK waitress was pleasant girl at counter where you give order was busy talking to her friend while trying go the the order she was indifferent to me. Food came quiet quick but even for basic pub food it was really poor presentation and quality also not very hot it was cold before you could finish. Would have taken a photo but I didn't take my phone in. Won't go back in a hurry.

Nice atmosphere and excellent service

We recently had our sons 6th birthday party here and had a fantastic experience. The staff in the children's room were exceptional 👌 both ladies went above and beyond to make my sons party special, nothing was too much for them. The food choices for the party were really good and everyone who attended said how fab it was. Flawless

Nice place but really slow service

The food was absolutely disgusting. Cold, burnt, & tasteless and I had cheese pie, which had a resemblance to crusted sick. The bar staff were lovely and offered great service, however we were told to move several times by some staff whilst dining. We will not be back.

Awful carvery, don't waste your money. Slow service over 35 mins for a j2O.

For the price range the food is good, the staff were very helpful and pleasant. It seems to have improved since we visited last year

Had my daughters party here, Jane served all the children the whole way through and was superb service from her. Huge thankyou for your hard work keeping all the children happy. My daughter had a great party. Thankyou Jane!!!

Day time meals have gone terrible. It did go very good. But standards have dropped again. My mum had fish, nothing like the photos they advertise. Grey and pink inside and slimey. Sent back but the new one returned wasn't much better. Poor suppliers.

We took out grandson for the play area. We could eat our food in the area, not everyone's cup of tea but good to keep an eye on the kids. The area was really organised and service was great. Food was great and good value. Plenty of parking. Only little downside was the number of loos, even if there are more elsewhere on the pub, only 2 ladies loos near the the play really isn't enough. Otherwise a really good family oriented pub.

Had Sunday lunch which was very good Turned up before 12pm without booking but no problem will call again in the summer to sit on the decking overlooking the lake 😀

Love this place, very reasonably priced

Absolute awful place, food is below pub grub standard. My son had a burger that was rock hard. Alison the manager is unbelievably rude and the soft play is so dirty. AVOID

Food was not to standard not worm wait for long time for pudding to be served and when it came it was cold

Food as good as always, and a massive shout out to our server Emily who was simply fabulous, polite, friendly, helpful and truly wonderful, shes a real credit to your team

Lovely place lovely views lovely staff

Lovely setting so we thought we'd have some food went for the smelted chicken x2 a very very long wait (I know they were busy) when it finally arrived it was with our a doubt the worst plate I've ever had put in front of me.Luke warm and small I know it was only 11.99 for two and I didn't expect it to be out of this world,but don't expect it to be that bad.Manager was lovely we had a refund but that's not what you go there for.

The sirloin steak was so tough and full of gristle. Rest of the meal I.e. chips, onion rings, grilled tomato were greasy and cold. Peppercorn sauce tasteless.

Adults only and family sections with equipped play areas. Food is consistently tasty and served asap. Some of the staff have worked here happily for years and that's a bonus. Thanks Alison and Ashley, amongst others I'm a regular visitor here.

Lovely pub, food and staff, in a beautiful location 😊

Great selection of food all you can eat breakfast. Not very quick on the replenishing.

Lovely carvery, delicious roast 😋

Good food. Good prices. Excellent service. Relaxed atmosphere.

The food is what it is, it's not going to win any awards but the staff were really helpful and friendly and there was a pleasant atmosphere.

We visited the sandpiper (5 adults, one child and one baby) and we're given a lovely table overlooking the pond (we were inside) We ordered our meals and with a blue light discount, we had a saving on our food order of 25% which was great! The girl (I forgot her name) who served us at the bar did not smile or attempt to make any conversation with us. I ordered the steak medium however it was overdone when it arrived as was my Husband's. Presentation of the children's meal wasn't particularly exciting and looked rush. My Dad who had the mixed grill really enjoyed his as did my Mum and sister who ordered the salad with chicken. For desert, three sticky toffee puddings Wer ordered, but they were cold in temperature! It was a very busy evening there. I'll return for drinks but for food, probably not!

Good food, especially when using their deals

Love the food here , if you have a blue light card ,you can't hold wrong

Good quality food, freshly made and reasonably priced. Service ok but as it was very busy not super fast. Good venue for children with a large play area for them.

Size and quality of meal deal has declined so much. No value for money anymore
