The Warren in Carmarthenshire

Great restaurant with a genuine passion for locally produced and seasonal ingredients. Staff are wonderful and it's a lovely, intimate and warm dining atmosphere.

Lovely dinner, the steak and potatoes were great, the beer excellent

Fantastic whole food vegan burger & friendly helpful staff

Beautiful setting, real cosy atmosphere and incredible food. We had a lamb roast which was unbelievable, so well cooked and served with a great array of veg and sides.

Very expensive coffee. Oat milk latte with an extra shot was £6.10. The extra shot was £1.75. Way too much especially as my companion asked for a single shot drink for herself and got no discount

Charming and cosy venue with eclectic artwork and decor. Everything on my plate was absolutely delicious and surprisingly filling as I’m used to larger portions on a Sunday dinner. The pork was mouth-wateringly moreish and tender while the cheesy beans were a delightful addition. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helped create a vibrant atmosphere. Zero complaints.

Lunch for 3 was 3 mains and three fizzy drinks for £50.23. My Tomato salad was £13 and listed hemp cheese in the ingredients. It was fine hemp cheese sprinkles which were hardly discernable, like a coarse pepper garnish. The salad looked and tasted good but no evident cheese which I thought would be the noticeable ingredient. My wife's toasted sandwich and nieces vegan burger were good but overpriced. Disappointing as I wanted to try something very different. We are non returners. Helpful staff who understood my dilemma.

Lovely place to eat, food is excellent not a big menu. But that's not a bad thing because what they do is very good. Friendly and attentive staff. Would go again.

This was our fit time at the Warren and we came for the Sunday Roast. I was surprised how big the restaurant was. The decorations are very farm style. The service was great. The pork with crackling was tender, the lamb was tasty - had to request mint sauce. The Makeral was okay - maybe some lemon or a sauce would be nice. Ended our meal with the chocolate mousse which was fantastic. I found the place a little pricey but maybe because it's organic food, and they support local charities.

Had a lovely lunch today; herb drink was stunning, crab cakes and potatoes were just lovely and the posset was beautiful. Great service, cheerful and helpful. Will definitely return soon.

Very good food, although the menu is somewhat limited. Fresh, locally sourced fare. Portion sizes are moderate, so I recommend ordering a side. Service was very good; great atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Gorgeous place, absolutely lovely staff, food to make you feel good

Found this place by accident. What a little gem . Menu amazing. Cafe / bar / restaurant. 100 % 5 stars . Check out their website for more details .

Very nice but somewhat small portions

This place looked nice, but I did notice a few spider webs hanging above, not sure if that's part of the aesthetic but maybe get rid of those. Food was pre-ordered as it was a group booking, so arrived quickly, some of the portions were small for some people, my meal was nice and I did enjoy but this place is not ideal for young families, kids menu limited and no vegetables to accompany the pizzas, £6 for a small handful of chips is beyond ridiculous. The ice cream was nice. In all the food is nice but I wouldn't return unfortunately.

Amazing food, amazing staff, atmosphere was cosy and we felt safe when dining here. Would highly recommend, if visiting the area. 11/10

Absolutely perfect brunch had today , lot's of flavour and well cooked food . Polite and attentive staff.

Very nice place to eat. Nice ambience. Good vegan and vegetarian options.

I had the worst service here I have ever experienced. I took my mother here for lunch to celebrate her 85th birthday, we didn’t book but were able to walk in and get a table. The manager took our order, but an hour later we still hadn’t received our food. We asked the waitress what the delay was and they had no record of the food order. They had not checked in with us for the hour we had sat there, even though it wasn’t busy. By the time they had realised their mistake it was too late to order food. My mother was really upset as this was something we had been looking forward to, we were very hungry and it genuinely ruined her birthday. The waitress and bar staff didn’t apologise or offer any explanation, the manager was nowhere to be found. I have never left a negative review before but today’s service has been inexcusable. Shame on you guys.

Lovely Sunday dinner Choice of starters mean and dessert 🍨

Fantastic Sunday lunch! Great, food, service and a lovely spot! Highly recommend.

Amazing tasty food we a great environmental ethos. The chef creates some great flavour combinations. Staff are always friendly and efficient.

Fantastic vegan Sunday dinner. As well as 2 meat Sunday dinners. Everything exceptional Love the whole ethos and ethics behind the restaurant and their attitude to food

I had a fantastic vegetarian option and my husband said his beef was the best he'd had. There was a good selection of teas which I love to try different ones. Ended up with a rhubarb root tea, very nice. The decor was homy and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely go there again.

Best Sunday lunch I've had for a long time.

Good quality Sunday lunch, let down by the value for money. £120 for a couple plus toddler for Sunday lunch is steep. Wife and I had 3 courses for £33. Both starters were great. Main courses lamb and beef.. both meats were exceptional. Roast potatoes were ok, 2 carrots on my plate. Yorkshire pudding pretty dry. Desserts were both very tasty. Toddler had a "kids dinner" which came to £16 and a "kids ice cream" which was more than £7. Over £6 a pint which I guess is the going rate in some restaurants these days but my wife had a glass of red wine which came to just shy of a tenner. That being said, all staff we interacted with were professional and very friendly. Nice welcome on arrival and friendly goodbyes from staff on exit. Our waiter interacted nicely with our toddler and baby (knew all the paw patrol characters which got a frown from my toddler but I was impressed!)

Just had a lovely Mother's Day Sunday lunch. Fishcake with added chunks of chard and kale sitting on a tomato bisque was a delicious start to the meal. The large slab of overnight roast lamb was so soft, albeit a little dry on its own, but a superb flavour and came with generous pot of gravy on the side. As usual, a good selection of well flavoured seasonal accompanying veg. Always a treat to visit.

We had a perfect Mothering Sunday lunch here. Between 4 us we ordered the Beef, Lamb, Pork and Fish and all we cooked to perfection and very flavoursome. Vegetable sides were also delicious as were the starters and desserts we ordered. Staff were friendly and service was excellent. Nice atmosphere and a well decorated and cosy venue. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, excellent staff, excellent atmosphere. 10/10

Best place for a wonderful Sunday roast. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and lovely service.

Would highly recommend this for Sunday lunch. Amazing gluten free options for the entire Sunday lunch menu.

One of the best food we had lately. Fish of the day and the beef burger were amazing. Highly recommended.

It is wonderful to have a monthly space to have an LGBTQ+ brunch, the food is always wonderful and the staff are very welcome. Diolch.

Great place and atmosphere, fantastic food and the staff are incredible!

What a fantastic place. 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

A lovely, welcoming and ethically run establishment. Always a favourite and the food is excellently prepared and super tasty.

Wonderful lunch with friends. The sticky toffee pudding is out of this world.

Usually fairly peaceful and quiet, all the staff are friendly and polite.

Brilliantly made organic and seasonal produce used to make tasty dishes. Sunday lunch is the best!

We love The Warren. Great food and warm and cosy atmosphere. Unfortunately we don't get to visit often. Will try and be less of a stranger!

I have visited the Warren several times over recent years and it has always been an amazing experience - not only the wonderful food but the welcoming atmosphere due to the extremely friendly and helpful staff . Highly recommended John A

Excellent food, as ever, in nice surroundings with pleasant and helpful staff. Has been one of our favourite restaurants in West Wales for a long time now and would whole heartedly recommend to others.

Food is always delicious here and the chef clearly likes and knows how to cook with fresh vegetables. Something that is getting harder to find in a lot of places. Atmosphere is low key and service is efficient. Place is clearly run by a team of professionals who are all working very well together, and who have high standards.

Every morsel was a joy to eat. Excellent welcome and service. Couldn’t fault our experience. Great ethos too! Thank you.

Favourite restaurant in Carmarthen never disappoints. Just the right quantity and the quality is spot on. Always our go to place locally for dinner and Sunday lunch, such tasty food.

Lovely bean soup with focaccia and my partner had the fishcakes. A glass of wine and a half or IPA in addition and it was roughly £35 with tip. Happy with this.

Ive been hesitant to write this because I feel bad for having to be so honest. I loved the idea of the warren and its ethos and the fact that its family run...but unfortunately the meal I had was well below standard. I'll start at the good points first. It's lovely when you walk in there - it's friendly and cosy...and surprisingly larger inside than it looks on the outside. The tables looked cute - the atmosphere of all the other people in there was lovely too - and it was busier than I would have thought for lunch. Ive been recommended the warren by a few people and they all seem to love it so I feel like our meal might have just been on a bad day - maybe when everyone else was eating quiche? My husband and I both ordered the burger & chips. As this had been raved about to us. It was really disappointing. The bun was really crumbly and felt stale - the cheese turned it into a grease fest (even though the meat itself was lovely and tender and juicy). There was no relief of any kind at all - yes there was a weird rather claggy creamy coleslaw which made little sense and provided no relief - other than good meat in it it felt really greasy and stodgy. The chips were not cooked properly and were still hard - it's a very unusual thing to mess up. I probably am a bit stuck up when it comes to a burger - but who doesn't expect a soft bun, juicy Burger and a crunch or some balance? (again, I will say that the main ingredient of the burger - the meat itself was lovely) which means again it could have been a bad day. It felt a bit like I was getting left overs. I left feeling like it was a wasted lunch which I could have enjoyed somewhere else. Im not confident about talking to staff when I'm not happy with a meal, so I don't know if it's a place I will risk and give another go.

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of food on the menu but the food I did order was really nice. I couldn't fault it, the place has a nice feel to it staff were very nice and friendly. Highly recommend

This place always delivers on taste. pricey - but thats the name of the organic game i guess.

Outstanding food, great service and atmosphere

A disappointing meal. £33 for a 2 course meal. Definitely not worth it. The turkey was dry, very limited vegetables offered and serving was too small. Taste of the main meal was lovely enough but not for £33. I'm a real pudding lover but did not enjoy this dessert. Was not impressed by the service either. I did not appreciate having a card machine in my face everytime I ordered a drink. One servant was particularly rude and would not cater to our group's needs. We did not expect to arrive and expect to be on two separate tables. Apparently putting tables together meant there would be not enough room to serve the food. That is absolutely rubbish as there was plenty of room. The other servant was lovely. We pre ordered our food a month in advance, had to pay a deposit (as expected and happy to do so) and then expected to pay for outstanding fee prior to attending, which I was not told about beforehand. Me and my colleagues were not impressed by this as we have never had to pay for food in advance. What is the point of asking for a deposit if we have to pay for food before the event. I was sent multiple emails asking for money before the event which I did not appreciate at all. The food took ages to come out considering we ordered a month in advance. It is such a shame as we had such a great experience two years ago but after tonight we will not be returning.

This place is wonderful. Great menu, really helpful staff, great interior. Someone greeted us when we arrived and thanked us for our custom when we left. Beautiful home made tartar sauce with home made fishcakes and chunky chips. Will certainly return. Highly recommended.

Xmas party, would have liked a bit more veg, but other than that nice evening

Lovely restaurant. Booked by my partner as a suprise birthday dinner. The food was absolutely fantastic and staff were very welcoming.

Good good service excellent not the most comfortable place to eat both cold and chairs not very comfortable

Wow! What a lovely cosy restaurant. Very friendly staff and amazing food! Highly recommended. Will be returning

First timer food and service good, room a bit on the cold side slightly expensive

Amazing place. Staff are amazing. Yhe food is great but takes some time. Would come back for the atmosphere

This is my go to place for a good meal in Carmarthen

We come here quite often but this was a birthday celebration. The staff, service and food is quite wonderful with lots of different tastes and a good choice to please everyone. My venison was magnificent and was quite a chunk, great cooking and value for money. Lovely desserts and excellent house wine. We'll be back for the special Christmas menu. I can recommend it without hesitation.

Pleasant room . Excellent Welsh speaking efficient service. Quirky menu. Great to have a different choice. Reasonably price. Will call again

Went for Sunday lunch and it was stunning. I ordered the beef - it was so tender it was falling apart and the vegetable accompaniment was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Both my friend and I agreed it was the best Sunday dinner we had eaten in a long while. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic cafe/restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff were wonderful. We visited on a very rainy Thursday evening when they were pretty quiet, but the welcome was extremely warm (despite us getting our arrival in the time wrong by half an hour). The veggie burger was fantastic, really nice to see a proper homemade veggie burger that hits all the spots. Drinks were great, including a delicious organic pinot grigio. Desserts were sublime.

Felt like we hit the jackpot here! Fabulous, delicious, nutritious food. Great friendly service. Welcoming warm atmosphere! All organic and ethically sourced! What more could you want?

Spotted this gem of a cafe/restaurant by chance whilst having a wander around Carmarthen. We both enjoyed a lovely, good quality lunch and the staff were very friendly. I would certainly recommend to anyone. Good, wholesome food, obviously prepared with care and attention. Dog friendly too which was a bonus!

Absolutely fantastic, the food was spot on 5*, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. If the weather is good when you arrive, opt for the outdoor seating, it's a long right alley (very Italian feel) with the scent of fresh herbs that are growing all along the top of the wall. Bottom line is ,we had an absolutely lovely time when we called in. Couldn't have asked for more

A lovely spot for food, coffee and tea. Service was great, and the lady serving was very informative about the area.

Super recommend! Amazing food, lovely service and nice calm environment with good music. Vegan insanely good burger was the highlight for me but all the other options of our table was very much appreciated as well.

Top marks from us for everything.

What an absolutely incredible experience we had eating here. All of the staff were so so lovely, and very professional from start to finish. I had the aubagine rolls and I can honestly say that the dish was the best veggie meal I've eaten at a restaurant. The rest of my table had beef burgers, venison, steak and the vegan burger and everyone agreed that it was the next meal they've eaten out in a long time! If you're looking for somewhere to eat in Carmarthen, book a table here - you won't be disappointed!

Visited last time WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE thank you so much for making our anniversary special they even asked my husband for our first dance song and plays this while we had deserts. I LOVE food and boy was it worth the visit the wine was amazing and the steak was cooked perfect will definitely be visiting again thank you

Brilliant... Well worth checking this place out. 4 years later and I still remember the meal I had here. Sadly the distance is too great to make it a regular visit. There's something truly assume about a meal, experience that happened all that time ago that you remember and still wish to repeat. One day.

We had a party of 6 and two dogs, and we had an absolutely perfect meal here. We had the days special of pulled pork, a vegan burger, beef burgers, and the hummus starter. Everyone was delighted with their meal. Staff were really on it, giving suggestions that's were really helpful. Fast with the drinks which was important on such a hot day! We also had the tart desert and pavlova which were also very nice. I think it's safe to say theyve got a tight menu and has perfected it. They were very dog friendly and great vegan options.

My husband and I had Sunday lunch here today. The food was fantastic, service was excellent. A little expensive but worth every penny.

Fabulous lunch , fresh tasty food , great staff , will definitely go again

Excellent food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Would love to return

We really enjoyed our meal here, the food was delicious.. Hopefully we will be back one day 🤞🏼

Recently had a Sunday lunch, while travelling back to Pembrokeshire. The lunch was very tasty, if not a little small. While I appreciate the ethos of the restaurant in using organic and local produce, I do feel the price of the single course lunch at £22.95 to be a little high. In terms of service, it would have been nice to be asked whether we required any condiments. Having requested horseradish sauce, we were given a small pot between our party of three, which we felt was rather sparse. On a positive, the food was tasty, and the Warren appeared to be a popular eatery in Carmarthen. With this in mind, they must be getting things right.

Great service and delicious food. We had a great time.

Excellent service. Lovely food and atmosphere. Highly recommended. Thanks.

Thank you for the delicious veg burger!! I will come back soon xxx

We had an enjoyable lunch here today. The staff were very accommodating in putting tables together and providing high chairs for our grandchildren. The food was slightly underwhelming. My pulled pork bap was rather tasteless. The organic beef burgers were good but over salted. Fish cakes were quite small. Soup of the day was nice. Children's portions were too big and too expensive.

Great food and even the little one was accommodated in her no sauce on pasta request!! Thanks guys, I really love your ethos, you're a credit to Carmarthenshire ❤️

A lovely place for vegans, vegetarian and meat eaters, we all found something delicious to eat

Couldn't say better things, some of the best food we've ever eaten !

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Warren. Despite Covid restrictions the staff are all warm, inviting and inclusive. Outstanding food, beautifully served. Highly recommend this venue for any occasion.

Had a lovely lunch here with my wife and dog. Waitress brought mat, water bowl and treat for our dog, really nice touch. We had a lovely beef burger and fries for lunch. Really nice atmosphere, great service and feels COVID secure. All at great value. Recommended.

We enjoyed a really nice meal and drinks at the Warren. The service was excellent and all Covid secureThe menu was good and the food delicious. We enjoyed our drinks too.The atmosphere and decor is pleasant and adds to the experience.There is a small deli to buy some artisan/local products too

Warm welcome. Fantastic, friendly, accommodating service and one of the best Sunday lunches I have had in a while. Thank you.

We called in here with our dog and were offered a warm and friendly welcome. They had all the COVID restrictions sorted sensibly and safely. Our dog was given his own rug to lie on, water and a treat and the staff made a fuss of him. Then they moved on to us Our food was excellent, the coffee was delicious, it was reasonably priced and the service was superb. Our veggie burgers were huge and tasty (try the beetroot ketchup) and the cheesecake was delicious. We could not fault any aspect of The Warren, keep it up folks

This place was a great find. It was a bit of a last minute booking as we didn't know the area well and were just staying 2 nights. In the end we ate here both nights, the food was so good. On the first night, my partner had a beetroot curry, which she said was the best curry she has every eaten. And we eat a lot of curry, especially vegetarian. I had the hake, which was amazing. And they had some of the best (local) cider I have ever tasted. Our daughter loved the chips with (homemade?) mayo. Oh and the pudding was fantastic too.

Delicious veggie roast with excellent trimmings. The staff were so friendly and helpful, happy to answer questions etc. We also had beef and pork roasts and those were also really good. We have brownies and the frangipani for pud - amazing shortcrust pastry eaten too quickly for photos. We’ll be back

The menu was quite wide, something for meat eaters, vegetarians, vegan. Price very reasonable, the service excellent and Covid-19 precautions very well put in place. Entry and exit via goods on different sides of the building, so no crossing in doorways.Loos clean and again, very covid conscious. We are meat eaters and had the shared platter which was ample for two adults with healthy appetites and very tasty. We managed to spill the dipping olive oil and were immediately offered more if we needed it (after a quick clean up). Great background music, 20s/30s jazz. not hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting Carmarthen.

Top notch, service, food, ambiance , all perfect. We had the meaty sharing platter and it was exceptional. If I lived closer I’d be there all the time

I am gluten free and my wife doesn't like pepper and is allergic to hazelnuts. The staff at the Warren were amazingly helpful with choosing suitable food, even helping out by email in advance of our booking and phoning to discuss the menu with me.They have a great range of gluten free and gluten free adaptable food, including an awesome chocolate brownie.The waiter was very knowlegeable about the food ingredients and the options available.Social distancing was good .In summary, an atmospheric restaurant with excellent food, helpful friendly staff, and excellent customer care.

The aptly named Warren is a delightful establishment, staff, décor, ambience and of course food are all of the highest standard. Cannot wait for a return visit!

We had the most amazing meal last night and I had to write to comment. Highly recommended in every way. I had the pan friend haddock which was delicious and a generous portion of fish. My friend had the steak which she raved about. The desserts were exquisite. Great staff, great food - what else could you want. Well done guys, you should be so proud.

I went there with my partner's family and everyone genuinely enjoyed their meals. Everyone chose different options - meat, fish, vegan - and we couldn't fault a thing. Not to mention the staff was amazing and the environment in the restaurant felt very safe which is not the case in all the restaurants we had visited since they reopened. Picture is that of the vegan sharer board, great value for £16.

Had such a lovely lunch with my partner, staff were amazing and friendly and very helpful and conscientious about my gluten free request as I have celiac disease. Both our veggie burgers were delicious, especially the homemade gluten free bun! (Best I’ve ever had). Finished off with a 10/10 homemade cheesecake Thank you all will defo be back! Can’t recommend enough for celiacs or others on a gluten free diet

Lovely evening with friends for first time since lockdown..... food was delicious and there a good atmosphere. Planning and organisation was good, a one way system in and out door. Only suggestion is some lighting in the alley way exit would be good.
