The Stradey Arms in Carmarthenshire

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 👌

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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 🍺

Lovely Sunday carvery and great value

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

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

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!

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

Great food, lovely bar and restaurant area, great service

Great for sunday carvery and good price well worth a visit

.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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🍔

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

Excellent friendly polite staff

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 😋

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.

Popped in for a pint, plenty of sports screens and seating in the bar.

Four of us had a fantastic meal, great food and service was excellent. Will be going back

22 of our walking group prebooked a meal at the Stradey Arms. We were all served together with no wrong dishes, Food itself was freshly prepared, hot and beautifully cooked Recommend.. Pulled pork burger (bourbon wd have gone well) fish and chips (generous portion) steak n ale pie and homemade curry (the one you look at and think "I wish I'd ordered that". Chips were proper home cooked and very tasty, whatever you put on them keep doing it 😊 There was another similar sized party in this simple but welcoming venue who were served in the same way Staff were great, nothing was too much bother, they worked together as a team, payment for the food went super smooth An excellent venue to end our day walking.. Highly recommended Good job Stradey Arms 👍👍👍👍

Good food at very good prices. I booked a table but probably don't need to for the beginning of the week. Not open for lunch on Mondays but open the rest of the week. Food served quite quickly after ordering but was quiet and was hot. Will be going again this week

The best local pub in town, fabulous food, great service and traditional old bar. Can't beat it.

Our party had Christmas lunch of which was very nice , hot and plentiful ×× unfortunately there was a large group of men ,in their 50's who's behaviour was disgusting to say the least !! 1 spilt beer on himself and pulled his trousers off ,another pulled his underwear down exposing himself ,thankfully no children where present !! No staff responded to this episode ,although they where asked to move to the bar or go outside ! Nobody was asked to leave !! Unfortunate!! We expected more ☹️☹️

This pub is awesome. Great food, Friendly, fab entertainment and a great crowd of friendly people go here. So book it, try it you will enjoy it there.

Great food and atmosphere, it's our local pub

Very long wait for starters and main course on a Saturday evening. Starters were lovely i had the prawn cocktail my husband had the scotch egg however my main was really disappointing chicken curry, had no flavour and the chicken wasn't a good texture (frozen i think and heated) my husband had the burger which was nice doubt we would ever return. Looks a lovely pub for drinks mind.
