The Stradey Arms in Carmarthenshire

Steak was not cooked properly under cooked

It was very busy, so I had to wait for quite some time. But the food was lovely. I had the pie, which was delicious, and they brought me more gravy when I asked them

It's absolutely brilliant the choice of meals and price was really good .the staff and service is excellent. I would recommend this place to everyone. Keep up the good work 👏

The customer service was amazing, we were served by liam and louise. They were both very friendly. Our food was absolutely lovely, had a battered cod and chips, smouthered pork with chips, cheesy garlic bread and a sticky toffee pudding. 10/10 would recommend. I will be coming here again!!

Typical Welsh pub frequented by families of all ages, friends and people passing through. Menu full of typical pub dishes based on meat and fish with the inevitable fried potatoes, legumes and salad. Welcoming environment and friendly, helpful staff. Cleanliness is a must. The 100% Welsh Brain beer is excellent

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere Will be going back

Thank you to Geraint for amazing service yet again. Top class

Brilliant evening at the Stradey Arms. Geraint and the team were superb. The food was excellent. Diolch 👍

My wife and I visited the Stradey Arms on Friday night because the menu at the local hotel was so limited. The menu, food and service was so good we returned again on the Saturday night. Make sure you book in advance though it gets busy for good reason.

Best pub in town. Fact! Entertainment every weekend. Good range of beer and outstanding food.

Outstanding Sunday lunch and service.

Fab experience. Staff very welcoming and service excellent

Lovely meal, perfect service .... one of our many celebrations spent at the Strady Arms xx

Very nice and friendly staff with good service but the chips were undercooked and the vegetables seemed frozen and just warmed up.

Wayne and co give a warm welcome are friendly and charasmatic especially KARATE KID,coffee is good and cheap and comes with biscuit drinks are a good variety and brekkys are lovely Great pub,great atmosphere and top it all great customers and that’s from a JACK ATB with the business and thanks for great welcome 🙏🙏🙏

Best meals we have had all week coming back soon

My wife had chicken, bacon, leek and I had steak and ale pie. Both were excellent all homemade and freshly cooked. We get so fed up with reheated mush in pubs and restaurants these days. Service was also exceptional exceptional

The Stradey Arms is a lovely pub that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and always eager to assist, making the overall experience enjoyable. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The entire venue, including the rooms and toilets, was spotless and well-maintained. There's a cozy, inviting vibe that makes it a great place to relax. It’s family-friendly too, with a small play area for children and outdoor seating. The only downside is the limited parking, but it’s still worth a visit for the overall quality and service.

Excellent quality carvery plenty of choice and great service from chef Andrew

Really enjoyed our visit to the Stradey Arms, great food, 2 great starters, especially the scotch egg starter. Wow!! really friendly staff too, recommended 👌

A proper pub! Proper grub! Family run and family welcoming! A jewel in furnace, cant recommend enough.

Fantastic local pub, great atmosphere with bands/singers on weekends Friendly, pleasant staff who get to know their customers

Me and my wife called in for lunch. We were greeted by very friendly staff who were quick to take our order. The food was outstanding. The chef’s chilli was superb and my wife’s sausage and mash was delicious. We followed up with dessert’s which again hit the spot. We will definitely be coming again soon. Highly recommended.

Brilliant food very friendly staff amazing service as all ways thank you

Good food (chips were great) and service great,but it was spoilt a bit due to the noisy table next to us. Otherwise it was a good night.

We found this pub by chance but hadn't booked a table . It was Sunday lunch time and Lisa found us a table without any fuss. The carvery was tasty and great value. We had drinks in the bar and served by Wayne.Both of their hospitality was above and beyond our expectations. We returned on Monday to celebrate our anniversary. We had a fabulous meal in a fantastic atmosphere .We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves .iara was our waitress and she was brilliant. This is a hidden gem and must to visit if in the area. We will definitely be seeing you again.

Lovely Sunday lunch Very good friendly service, staff most helpful. Food top class

Great food and a great selection of beers.

Can’t recommend this pub enough, we visited twice whilst on holiday. A couple of pints in the bar, feeling relaxed and comfortable. We then managed to get a walk in meal on the Saturday night, it was very busy but they managed to squeeze us in and did warn us there might be a wait. As it happened the service was very quick and the food was outstanding. The staff were all wonderful and we felt very welcome and will definitely visit again. Maybe next time my other half will get the half rack of ribs instead of the full as he couldn’t quite manage it all, but had it for a late night snack. Thanks again x

It's our first time here for food and certainly not our last. Nice welcome from the barman, very pleasant and helpul. We ordered the smothered chicken and 2 x 4oz cheeseburger wither PROPER chips. It was spot on in fairness, just ordered desserts, so looking forward to this to finish off. Don't just take my word for it, give it a try folks. Good welcome. Beautiful food. Great atmosphere. Sorry guys, no food photos we were to busy tucking in.

Fab carvery, never had so much meat in my life ,good value for money lovely people and lovely experience x

I can’t recommend The Stradey Arms enough! We went there for my fiancée’s 31st birthday, and it was fantastic. Even though we only gave them a few days’ notice, they were super accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The steak and ale pie was a hit amongst us. There were 9 of us, and every single person loved it. Great place, great staff, and just an all-around awesome experience. We’ll definitely be back!

A hidden gem off the beaten track Highly Recommended Visited lunch time with wife .She had smothered sweet chill chicken served with chips and peas, I had the steak pie with chips and peas and carrots and gravy.Had to wait a while but each table served in order so food was hot and freshly cooked,All meals perfectly presented great quality and quantity.Lovely freshly cooked onion rings.Staff A1couldnt do enough fro you although working under pressure Prices reasonable Highly recommended

Lisa and team accommodated my 30th birthday meal for 20+ guests, food was beautiful, staff were amazing and friendly. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a warm and hearty pub. Thanks guys 😊

Lovely Welsh pub ,food was very nice and beer 🍺

Went for grills at The Stradey Arms.My wife had 12 oz Gammon with Salad and 2x fried eggs,whilst I had the lovely mint cutlets. Everything was really nice.Ordered onion rings as an extra .Great service ,great food .

Lovely Sunday carvery and great value

Lovely atmosphere, cleanliness spot on, pint of peroni £4.50 can't go wrong

Popped in this pub for food before ffos las racing my brother in law had the gammon he said it was lovely and my sister and I had the veggie options very tasty ! Lovely staff very friendly, will definitely be going back when we are up this way again ☺️

We took 2 of our evening meals here , & sat outside for the second one as the weather was sunny and the specials board was available . The first evening I had home made faggots with veg , & my wife had the Sea Bass . However on the second night we both had Pork Medallions which were succulent & certainly special . A Pub enjoyed by several local families & well worth a visit ...

Great freindly pub food was good as always and staff knew what they were doing

I went here this evening with my wife and two friends to have a meal celebrating my 59th birthday, and we were all very pleased with the food and service. We all had very different meals and it was lovely. We will definitely be back.

Very nice lunch at a reasonable price. Prompt friendly service. Update: returned based on previous visit. Not so good. Very long wait for service and a long wait for meals. FFS don’t order the Burger, it’s pathetic.

Not been for a while. Food OK, Staff are very friendly, No atmosphere needs some background music, not loud but something in the background

Can't recommend this place enough. Great atmosphere, tasty food and the staff are amazing, they can't do enough for you. Wish we'd found it sooner, but it will now be our go to.

Menu for vegetarians limited. Nice place food good staff friendly

Good food. Could have a few more veggie options though. Good service. Nice place for a pub/ food visit would likely come again

Service was great friendly staff good for children as we were a group of 11

A very good meal-perfect!! Well organised for a party of 22

Went here for a family funeral wake, food/spread was exceptionaly good..... Guinness £3.80 a pint, great food, great pint, great staff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a fantastic meal food was so delicious staff were great looking forward to going back again

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Staff were very friendly and engaging. Will definitely return!

Missing items and poor quality

A great little pub with fantastic food, a great range of drinks and friendly staff. The portions are generous and are really good value for money.

Absolutely fantastic. Staff are brilliant, food is excellent and a great atmosphere in both restaurants and bar. Thanks Wayne and staff for excellent service 👍🏼

I have reviewed this pub before, but feel that the standard of food, and value for money, deserve a second bite. My partner and I had two of the cheaper meals which proved to be great value and excellent eating. I had home cooked ham egg and chips, and my partner home made steak pie. EXCELLENT thank you.

The best meal I’ve had in a long time !!! Great value and plenty on the plate! Old fashioned chips served with friendly service. You won’t regret a visit .

Really lovely, tasty steak Will be ordering again Thanks

Great food, lovely bar and restaurant area, great service

My friend suggested The Stradey Arms for my birthday meal and it did not disappoint. Lovely friendly atmosphere and delicious food - I highly recommend the vegan "Trillionaires Tart". Up there with some of the best vegan desserts I have ever tasted!

Everything you need in a local village pub. Awesome food ,friendly welcome, great weekend entertainment. When the sun is shining it has a great outside area .

.No complaints about the carvery as was decent and tasty enough.We were not told beforehand when booking that they would require the table back at 4 PM(we'd booked for 2pm). As the desserts were brought out we were informed that they would need the table back shortly after we had finished . We were then approached rather abruptly by A more senior member of staff, whilst some of the party still had not finished and rushed off the table basically and told to go into A jam packed bar with no seating and make sure you settle your bill first.I have A son with Autism so this jam packed bar with no room wasn't ideal for him,So we drank up and left.Not A great experience to be honest .And the battle axe running the place could certainly do with learning some people skills being in the hospitality trade that they are in.Eat up and get out basically ,that is how we were made to feel.If the information was given about them needing the table back when we booked we could have then made A choice.

Great for sunday carvery and good price well worth a visit

Fantastic food and service for Mothers Day, and prices the same as a normal week. Served by the best Mrs Battle Axe ever

Pre booked for 15 of us. Yet still took over an hour. Mixed grill was very fatty. Port was inedible. Currys were cold. And chips were undercooked. Yes some of the party had a moan.. won’t be back.

Lovely Sunday lunch at the Stradey Arms. Carvery offered a variety of meat and a wide selection of fresh vegetables. Will call again.

Good food, fair price,atmosphere in the cosy bar was nice. Dogs allowed in the bar, which is good. All in all a good experience.

Loved our visit! We reserved a table in the bar as we had a dog with us. Great atmosphere and really friendly efficient staff. The food was delicious, the best home cooked chips I’ve had in years. We’ve recently moved into the area and are looking forward to visiting again soon. We’d definitely recommend.

Thanks to Nicola for pulling a wonderful pint , great atmosphere, and great place to relax after work with a drink in the sunshine

Great atmosphere, great food and beers.

Food and service excellent. Family friendly atmosphere was great. Portions very generous.Will be returning very soon.

great place, friendly staff and lovely food had a large group booking and the service was impeccable will definitely come again.

Amazing pub/restaurant, amazing food and amazing staff. Honestly the best burger ever!! This is called the Cowboy Burger, my new favourite burger by far 🍔

Booked for The new 4 steaks sharing platter 1 sirloin 1 x rump 1x filled and 1 ribeye.Really lovely meal .Nicely presented with loads of peas and onion rings.I went for chips and wife had an excellent salad.Large peppercorn sauce as well

Bar area is lovely .....food looks good

Had a wonderful welcome , great food and service with courteous staff.

Too expensive in relation to the standard of food sold.

Decided lastminute.com to go for food at our local pub The Stradey Arms in Furnace.Both ordered Surf and Turf .Really nice steak and lovely scampi.Nang had healthy option of salad while I had chips.Excellent food , great staff.

Phoned up last minute for food, so glad we did really polite lad behind the bar and serving, food was delicious and reasonable price.

Had lunch a few Saturdays ago,food fantastic service fabulous, will definitely have food there again

Thanks to Nicola for pulling a wonderful pint , great atmosphere, and great place to relax after work with a drink in the sunshine . Accessibility for toilets , parking and bar access are great . Did not try food but looks appealing- another time . Well Worth a visit .

Five of us adults had lunch at the Stradey Arms today, celebrating my grandson’s 21st Birthday. The meals were outstanding as usual, and the staff were polite, efficient and professional. If you’re in the Furnace area of Llanelli, pop in you won’t be disappointed with this family and local oriented pub.

The live music was great and you can either sit outside or inside. Having two bars serving at the same time means that you don't have to wait for too long for your drinks.

Met for lunch with friends and had a great time. We all selected different meals and everyone's food was fabulous.

Booked a table for lunch and took my 91 year old father in law out for a treat. We were served by a young gentleman called Fraser and just wanted to say how fab and attentive he was. Nothing was too much trouble for him. All the meals ordered were delicious and affordable. We travelled from Cardiff and we will most definitely be making another visit. 5 star food and service. Thank you.

We have been here often the last few weeks and tonight was very disappointing,the chicken curry was awful very tomato tasting and the large 12oz gammon came with hard eggs gammon was laid on peas and the chips were enimic Gammon was was extremely fatty Very disappointed as we have spent quite a lot here over a few weeks

Lovely atmosphere. warm welcome.

Even though we turned up without booking a table the staff could not have been more welcoming. The food was absolutely fantastic and very good value for money. We will definitely go there again.

Food was almost inedible. Barbecue sauce was watery and chips were hard overcooked and appeared to have been reheated. My husband's sea bass (wasn't fresh fish as expected more like frozen} was tasteless and the cockle and larva bread sauce more like milk. We were asked by the waitress initially if all was okay but felt not worth complaining as we wouldn't have chosen a replacement meal anyway. Spoke to the bar lady who took payment and explained that we were not happy but her response was that she would report our comments back to the kitchen no offer of a refund! Staff were pleasant but appeared very young and clearly saw we had not eaten our food but did not approach to ask us why. We eat out on a regular basis and would definitely not recommend to friends or family.

Lovely home cooked steak pie and mashed potatoes. Brains bitter shandy went down a treat. Lovely friendly staff that made us and our 2 english setters very welcome. I would highly recommend The Stradey Arms to everyone.

If you happen to find yourself within the vicinity of this place, don’t mess about, chip along and book a table. I started off needing a table for four, then extended it to 9 and finally upped it to 11 within 24 hours. Not a problem for this place and it was very busy also. Lovely welcoming atmosphere to kick it off, drinks are very reasonable as is the excellent food. The main thing about this place is the staff though. Simply first class in all departments that can’t do enough for you. I cannot recommend The Stradey Arms enough, brilliant.

Fantastic place Fantastic food Fantastic staff what more is there to say served by the owner full of chat and banter. Strongly recommend this place. Myself partner and 3 month old baby went i had a mix grill one for the meat lovers 👌 even the other customers were full of conversion

Place was spotless, airy and welcoming. Service was slow but staff were pleasant. Food was really tasty and hot. Good menu with lots of specials on the board. Really well worth a visit.

Enjoyed an amazing meal here yesterday evening. The food was excellent, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Reasonably priced and great choices of menu and specials. Would definitely recommend it and will definitely return soon 😋

Excellent friendly polite staff

No food served until around 5/30 so just drinks

A lovely place owned by lovely people. A really nice call.

First class service and first class food. All the staff are very helpful and the food is outstanding. Keep up the good work we will be back.

Cracking pub grub!! Steak cooked perfectly m/r and plenty of chips. All our meals were really tasty. Very good 😊

Stunning food and great value for money.
