White Hart Inn Llanddarog in Carmarthenshire

My brother and I visited this pub as we were driving back from Tenby. After reading the previous reviews which were mixed, we thought we would give it try. The outside looks amazing, a stunning thatched roof building in a lovely setting. When you enter it's like going back in time, with an open fire, oak beams and plenty of interesting antiques and unusual items to keep you occupied.It has plenty of character and it is a quirky place. All of the staff were super friendly and the barman explained that they brew all their own drinks. My brother and I both enjoyed the Coles larger and it left a pleasant aftertaste. The food menu is extensive but no more than you would get in a Beefeater or other pubs and the prices are a little high for some of the items. We both ordered a chicken, stuffing and gravy baguette with a bowl of chips between us and that one bowl was enough for both of us. The baguette was lovely and crispy, the stuffing was nice but it could’ve had more chicken in it. The gravy came in a pot so you can add your own and that too was very tasty. Obviously this was my experience on that day and I couldn't fault them. Lovely pub, friendly staff, nice lager and good food. Just remember, if you pay a little more you are helping to maintain the local pubs which need the income unlike the mainstream restaurant.

Went here for lunch after a walk around llyn llech owain park. The slow cooked lamb was melt in the mouth and my Glamorgan sausages were cheesy. Both served with plenty of veg and mash. No room for pudding.! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and before you know it your buying 3 bottles of rum.

Very good pub. Very oldy world, fun of character. Great menu, great food, will go again. Would highly recommend

Amazing food, fantastic portions and tastes amazing.

Lovely home cooked food in a very friendly pub

Just called for a drink, we tried their Amber ale and my partner had their whisky..both very nice . All brewed by the Cole family

We had Sunday lunch but could not enjoy it because we were presented with a mountain of food on the plate. It would have been better if the vegetables were put on a side dish. They do not do small portions and as I only have a small appetite so I could not enjoy the meal. The chicken did not have much flavour. Perhaps a small menu with "lighter bites" for people like me who like a small meal. Also you have to pay for drinks and each course individually.

Two of us stopped off on a bike ride for a drink. we sat outside in the so called garden, which was paved and didn't have any grass. we had two drinks which came to £13. I had an average tasting beer £5,50 and my wife had a dark rum with a small bottle of coke. £5 for the rum and £2.50 for the small bottle of coke. The coke was past it's sell by date and my wife took it back and told the barmaid. The barmaid gave her another out of date bottle of coke. One of the owners was sitting nearby and she told him but he didn't respond. I don't think I will stop off here again. What a rip off.

Wonderful duck! Lovely service!

I love this pub/restaurant. We stop here every time we drive to Laugharne. The food is amazing such lovely big portions. The menu has the biggest choice of food I think I may have ever seen. The owners are so lovely and staff really professional and efficient. 5 stars all the way. Oh and it's a stunning place inside and out

Awful. After reading Facebook comments, we thought we'd give it a try. Party of 6 adults!! On arrival, it started of promising. That's where it ended. Ales were shockingly awful and with 2 CAMRA members, one real ale was almost undrinkable. Then the food came! 1 Welsh Cawl which actually had a 30mm piece of wire in it!!!!!!! Immediately brought to the attention of the waitress who's only reply was, 'we make it ourselves but we'll let the supplier know! No offer of replacement or alternative or refund. It was left mostly uneaten. Even upon leaving and highlighting that the Cawl was left uneaten, 'sorry' was the only response. 2 steak baguettes filled with inedible, tough strips of mainly fat and sinue. Chips were only half cooked, even the coleslaw was tasteless. The baguette was top quality though. The 2 plates had more inedible sinue left on them than consumed steak. 1 liver dish which was over cooked and rubbery and 2 Chicken in Whiskey sauce. The cook must have forgotten the Whiskey as they were bland and boring. The food was shocking, beer not great and the waitress service was even worse. Thank God I personally ordered a Madri. We left and went to the nearby Mansell Arms for a real pint and Tumble for some chips. We won't be going back!

One of my favourite places to eat. Family run business that always delivers that bit extra. Food is GREAT, staff are friendly and the building is full of interesting things to look at. They also have their own brewery, I recommend the Summer Berry Cider.

This is an attractive pub with interesting deco. This was our first visit after not having a particularly good experience her about 10 years ago and thought things must have improved by now. Not so however with ridiculously high prices. Half a pint of mediocre local ale and a glass of lime and soda costing £6.95. I queried tis think there had been an error but was informed that a glass of lime and soda was £3.95 (not surprisingly there was no visible bar tariff) It had been our intention to dine there but a quick look at menu showed prices also to be high for the meals we saw being served. Having felt as though we had been mugged paying almost £7 for half a pint of beer and a glass of coloured water we left without wasting any more time or money and it will be a long time before we try again. Such a pity as the pub itself has a very inviting look.

The White Hart Inn Llanddarog is a lovely pub in a lovely town. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the service was exceptional. The food was ok but very expensive for what you get. The starter dis6was Panish prawns infused with chilli and garlic. It also included a buttered piece of white bread and a mini salad. The cost for this dish, which included 10 small prawns, was £10.95. I also ordered the Chicken & Prawns Stir Noodles. The food was nice, and the portion was reasonable, but the cost for this dish was £21.95. My wife had the lambs liver, which she did not care for. The drinks were expensive as well. £3.95 for a large glass of Diet Coke. It was a wonderful place to visit, but it was not a great place to eat in my estimation. Please note that the picture of the Spanish prawns was eaten halfway through. I have also included a picture of a pint of Diet Coke and a half pint of larger and lime.

Been coming here for many years ..got married here ..celebrating 20 married years ..on our way...Best food in West Wales

On approaching the White Hart it looks like a very tidy village pub, you get the feeling that you will get some good pub grub however you will be disappointed. I ordered drinks first and had to pay as you order instead of building up a tab and paying at the end, this never sits well with me. The menu was huge with grill curry’s traditional pub grub etc , immediately I was thinking how can they do all of these items well. Onto food I ordered a mixed grill it arrived fairly quickly and I did not have to wait any longer than reasonably expected. The meat was low quality with the steak having lots of waste ( I had better steak from Tesco earlier in the week for £3.70. ) gammon overly salty with little meat on it Chicken was dry Ribs were the worst I’ve ever had dry and unseasoned Sausage was cheap and nasty The bbq sauce was overly sweet with no bbq flavour The chips were the best thing on the plate but the portion size is what I’d expect on a child’s meal. Also the mixed grill had a salad and coleslaw which I would have preferred peas and onion rings. I was very disappointed with the food as was my partner this was not a cheap meal either with a pint and a half a coke costing £9.70 and a beef dripping sauce for £6. Looking at the menu other items were extremely expensive ( chips and cheese £10). I will not be returning here again.

Have visited this Public House at least three times and never had a complaint. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. The food is delicious absolutely delicious so I think a visit is something not to be missed. Prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. Do yourself a favour call in and see if you agree with my review. Oh and the Mulled Wine certainly gave a glow on a dismal day.

I had dinner here tonight. They said just walk in and we had the best service, very friendly and fast service. Food was delicious and fair priced. Would definitely recommend 👌

I love eating her the food is really nice you don't wait long for your food the staff are really nice I have had loads of meals her and have no complaints they must have a very good chief

Another charming inn off the beaten path near Carmarthen. Built in 1371 the current owners have maintained that old world charm plus delved into brewing. The food is excellent and reaping the rewards of their brewing labour is a delight.

Beautiful Pub. Warm ecclectic interior, fantastic food and service with a huge choice on the menu, picturesque outside, so beautiful whatever the weather. We love it and are so lucky it is local to us

Beautiful looking stone country pub, with a lovely eclectic but quite Welsh inside. Staff very pleasant and lots of seating. Food was pretty good considering the size of the menu, where I'd imagine it might be difficult to cook from fresh. So depends on your own personal preference. But we did find there was quite a bit of waste and next time would probably order a main meal between us.

A rustic and historic Inn, dating back to the 1300s. A wide ranging menu, also serving Welsh dishes. A very tasty meal..

Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dissapointed that it is only a Debit card that is accepted as payment. Main course menue can be a bit more varied and possibly not such a big platefull. Slightly expensive for a beggining of the week meal out.

A lovely old pub, food was excellent, generous portions, staff were friendly, purchased various items from on site shopping corner.

We stopped in on our way home from saundersfoot for some food. I've been here many times with my wife and with the R.A.T.S real ale tasting society. Today, I enjoyed a 20 oz white heart own cut steak. Absolutely perfectly cooked (medium), it was huge. My wife had the steak and ale pie, and my son had whisky chicken his partner had the hunter's chicken burger. The grandkids one had a pizza. The other had pasta bake with cheese. All portions were nice and large, making it a brilliant value for money. They brew their own beer and ciders here in their family run brewery (coles brewery) they also make their own gin, whisky, vodka, and rum, which they distil themselves on site. All produce is available to buy. If you're ever at a loose end and fancy a beautiful meal in a very welcoming family run pub. This is the perfect location. If you're looking to pick up Christmas or birthday alcohol I highly recommend you come and experience the massive variety of drinks they have to offer. Thank you for another beautiful meal Hopefully see you soon

Beautiful location Tasty local beer

5 of us went here for dinner the food was absolutely amazing. The staff were fantastic too especially kane what a lovely gentleman. Will deffo be going back.

Been to the pub 4 times and never had anything to complain about yet. The food is amazing not cheap but definitely worth paying the money because everything you get is of top quality, perfection I would say. The interior is amazing with plenty of history and artifacts to interest many young and old. Going again tomorrow for family meal and looking forward to it.

fantastic sunday lunch friendly staff good local beverages

The CAWL was worst I’ve ever had,and my daughter had sausage and mash £15.99 rubbish and over priced , won’t be rushing back

First visit and was disappointed for so many reasons. It’s very expensive for what it is, which we were prepared for, however the food was nothing special. My curry was quite watery. I’ve had nicer meals in your average franchise pubs (and better service). The menu stated a mango chutney with the curry, which didn’t come with the meal, and when we asked for some, the staff looked fed up, and returned to the table with a jar of chutney and a spoon and said NOTHING. She literally left it on the table and walked away, not even a ‘there you go.’ There was no atmosphere at all, no music, and the staff were just constantly hovering. They all seemed bored and we never felt like we had time to enjoy and natter. The opening hours for lunch was 12:30-3:30, we were still sat at the table at 3:20 (would be leaving in a couple minutes) when someone came over to inform us they were closing. When my friend mentioned ‘I thought you closed at 3:30’ we just had the reply ‘yeah we’re closing now sorry’. As we left there was no ‘thank you’ or ‘bye’ from the staff at all which I feel is a common curtesy. Whenever we went to the bar, there was always 2 or 3 staff just sat down and didn’t seem to move whenever customers were queuing. The lady at the bar however who served us was lovely and friendly. The decor was dated but didn’t mind that at all, but wish the seating would have been better. We were sat on wooden plinths like you’d find in a church. These were quite uncomfortable after an hour. I’m really disappointed. We were really looking forward to trying somewhere new, and honestly wish we hadn’t. Would not be coming back unfortunately.

Stopped in for quick road trip lunch two adults two kids, extremely disapointed. Prices were over what I would expect from a pub of its type, £15 for a frozen pizza with giant chunks of raw tinned pineapple Chef was scruffy. Avoid like the plague.

Stopped off for food and had an amazing warm welcome the food was stunning and very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend and we will be a regular.

Wonderful pub we found in book called ‘Wild Wales’. No wonder King Charles loved this pub when he visited! Lovely selection of beers & ciders brewed at the pub available in bottles to take away. Great food. We really enjoyed the Welsh cawl, cockles, bacon & laver bread. Well done Annabelle and team!

Such a lovely place with lots of character in a nice quiet village. I am fairly local but finally got round to coming here and looked forward to some nice food. Unfortunately my curry was not traditionally how it should have tasted and not much chicken in it. Very wishy washy. It didn't reflect the price which was about £16. My husbands steak was ok and cooked as requested but he wasn't impressed by the trimmings (the dry mash, salad that didn't go well with peas and mash, etc) again it didn't reflect the price (about £25). The kids meals were lovely though! The chips are nice. Pints and drinks are just too expensive for this place to become a "local" Pub for us, there's 3 more down the road which are cheaper which is a shame to say as the ambience, character of the pub, and staff are amazing. There is so much choice on the menu but what I have personally learned in the food industry is that if you have a smaller menu then you're able to create better quality food. **So to sum it up food was 50/50, too pricey, but friendly helpful staff and a lovely pub with lots of history and charm**

Been here loads of times and so gutted. Had the T-bone as I have had previously, very sinewy on the rump side and no mid bone making me think it was an end piece. I was asked was the food I’m and I said how it was and just ‘sorry’ left more than half the steak. Wife’s curry was lovely, Dads fish basket was ok too but to top it off mother in laws sirloin was a bit chewy. Honestly ‘Was’ one of my favourite places to eat. Won’t drive 40 miles again 😔

Father's day dinner good food & service in lovely atmosphere

Very expensive for what it is, i was really looking forward to going here, it looks lovely with the thatch roof and the onsite brewery. We were camping up the road so really looked forward to some homecooked food as advertised, it's really not! I was a bit concerned walking in a on a Sunday afternoon and couldn't smell any food being cooked. We sat outside as it was a lovely day and both of us ordered the beef dinner. The beef was like the packet beef slices that was very dry, the veg was frozen and the gravy was definitely made from gravy granules, the mssh was dry and lumpy and the roasties were very bland, had no flavour and no real texture to them. As it was £15.95 I was expecting something extra special but i got the complete opposite. The service wasn't much better as they forgot to give us cutlery. We were reading the menu as we waited for our food and the prices are ridiculous. £8.95 for cheesy chips, £6.95 for garlic bread and if you wanted cauliflower cheese with your dinner it was £4.95 that's just ridiculous on top of the overpriced dinner as it is. Definitely avoid which is such a shame as its a lovely setting.

Such promise, ruined by rude, obese staff who find it acceptable to yell at a young child for eating a cheese sandwich. Children cannot be expected to understand the rules of a wet and dry pub but a discreet word with the parent would sort the problem. Boggles the mind why anyone with zero customer service skills would choose to work in the service industry.... an establishment to avoid

Amazing food. Really fantastic quality with a home made feel and all arrived perfectly cooked at the same time. Its nice to see the chefs cooking away and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Update from 2nd visit and we sat outside in the sun. Food was again lovely and the staff were working raly hard with table service outside as well. Credit to them all!

Friendly staff and food was excellent

Great 14th Century Inn with hanging artefacts but better still large menu selection of good priced high quality food with excellent service.

A fantastic place to visit. Great tour of the distillery, lovely choice of gins, rums, ciders, etc to taste and buy. Finished off with a superb lunch, real homecooked food at a great price. Friendly family run pub, and we look forward to returning.

After over 10 years of not visiting, I can honestly say you did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious food, atmosphere and family welcome. We will be back with guests 😀

Many years since the last visit, but still has its unique charm, comfortable bar, and collection of past treasures. Warm welcome, great range of menu and generous meals - so many to choose from. True family business. Debit cards only! Shame no dogs policy in bar - the only pub during our week in Wales (only allowed outside areas).

Lovely quirky place, very old and full of character. Massive menu, far too much choice to cook everything from fresh. Basic pub grub. Food very underwhelming especially for the price. Quite disappointing.

Been waiting to go here for ages, well worth the wait, food fantastic,staff lovely portions bloody massive, well done you lot a little gem 💎

Had a brilliant evening......the food is fabulous, service is great, and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Wow, what an amazing place. Full of history, the place is like a museum. The staff are welcoming, there's a brewery on site and the choice on the menu is unbelievable! We had the farmers special, which consisted of a rump steak, chicken fillet, pork steak, sausage, a rack of ribs plus all the sides. Everything was cooked to perfection and the portion size was huge! Loved it and will return again very soon.

We had a lovely family lunch to celebrate 3 birthdays, and were able to bring our own birthday cake in and open presents. The food was lovely and service was excellent. We'll definitely be back, thank you so much for making our day fabulous!

Great service, friendly staff and an excellent meal. Thanks for the free chutney taster. Will visit again is my highest accolade. Diolch.

Absolutely delicious food and drink. Service was excellent, great oldie thatched pub.

Ate there this evening. A great welcome and plenty to look at. The food was 100% massive portions.

Attractive thatched pub. Sat outside for a couple of drinks.

Call Sunday afternoon for beer man slump over bar .didn't bother look at me ...stay 10 minutes and went over to butchers instead.

The Food was the worst we’ve have for a long time. The fact that they make you pay upfront is unusual and maybe they do this due to complaints ? Do yourself a favour and go to the Butchers Arms, now that food was very good. Normally we can’t be bothered to do a review. But the White hart food needed some feedback !

Good ale, and that's about it. The place lacks character, there is just to much of everything, in a one word "clutter" unfortunately same with the food menu, it's not possible to have a freshly prepared food with such a large menu, and it tasted that way; not seasoned and plain, we definitely expected more for this price. Biggest disappointment were chips, very pale and some of it under cooked.

Always a fab welcome lovely homecooked food never have to wait long great service xxx😘

Love this pub ! First of all, the decor there was very interesting and all items with Welsh history. There's a welcoming atmosphere and the staff are very polite and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS! A little on the expensive side, but the massive portions definitely made up for that! - We ordered two sides of chips and could have done with ordering half a bowl ! (haha). Very much recommend this family-run pub to anyone with a huge appetite and appreciation of Welsh history and culture!

Friendly staff. Food a little pricey for what we had. My wife ordered gluten free but was toilet bound for 24 hours after and unable to go to work the next day

Lovely food everytime we visit,friendly staff and owners always feel welcomed and their wine they make is the best. Highly recomend a visit

Super pub with interesting artifacts. Pleasant staff and hearty fare

A lovely pub and friendly staff but charging £8 for two glasses of soda water and blackcurrant squash seems very steep, we did query this as assumed there had been a mistake- no mistake made. The food was nice.

Absolutely stunning food. So tasty and great portions. Friendly service.

Lovely place, lovely friendly staff, disappointed with food!! Definitely not worth £110 for two of us!

Great local place better than over the road.

Hearty welcome, good honest grub.. a little gem found on the way across Wales heading for the ferry. Could have spent ages looking at all the memorabilia but ferries don't wait these days

Excellent service and delicious food 😋

Lovely food lovely family run pub, great chips. First visit after 2 years still great, thank you for the lovely meal

Never disappoints. Lovely food and setting. Friendly family run. 10/10

Been there today for Christmas dinner I would like to thank all the staff for a lovely experience and an even better meal you should all be proud of yourselfs thank you for a wonderful Christmas Day we always have a wonderful experience every time we come to the pub hopefully you will be doing Christmas dinner again next year,I will see you then but we will be in before then for food as it’s to nice to resist

Our first visit for lovely lunch with friends. Excellent service & good food in an historic pub dating back centuries. So impressed we booked for Christmas Lunch.

Sunday lunch was delicious, good amount of hot tasty food and friendly service. Definitely worth travelling for, we’ll certainly come back again

Just had a Sunday roast here. It was so delicious and tasty. Most definitely home cooked and will be coming back soon. Thanks guys for the hospitality.

Great food and drink Def worth a visit

Loved it. Food was good, staff very friendly. Quaint and characterful place

Wonderful venue fab lunch good hospitality.

Great pub with really cool beer garden and it's own family run brewery! Very impressive beverages!! Fantastic food, perfect Yorkshire pudding! Everyone should go to the white heart Inn llanddarog! 👍🍻😎

Excellent Sunday lunch with friendly staff. Will definitely be back! 👍😉

Great food, covid safe. Welcoming hosts. Loads of interesting items to look at

Lovely meal. Really nice historic building. Great service from the staff. I would highly recommend

We went here for a 40 birthday and I must say that they made us feel very welcome and the food was out of this world and big portions we will be visiting again.

Good value and large portions in this lovely and fascinating 14th century pub. Huge menu, from Sunday lunch, pizzas, fish dishes and great puds! My thanks to lovely friendly staff for a great evening meal.

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Prices and portions are great.

Passed this pub and thought it looked lovely . Service was freindly and we ordered two beers . We took these out into the lovely garden area and was enjoying them untill we found loads of bits in the bottom of our glasses . When we took these back to show the staff we were met with a rubbish attitude and no offer of replacment drinks or a refund . We ended up paying for drinks we could not drink , its a shame the male member of staff put us off this pub as its somewhere we would of liked to of visted again .

Amazing interior.quite friendly.beer ok.sandwiches overpriced and bread stale.

Great food will definitely go back

Great experience, fantastic food, perfect surroundings

Absolutely enormous portions. Very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely place to eat if hungry.

Real nice welcome and nice people really good beer and great food and a good laugh!🤣🤣🤣

Nice friendly pub no crisps only one pk peanuts

Great friendly service and with their own Brewery..

Excellent. plenty of food and good atmosphere. their own brews are well worth sampling.

Very nice pub and onsite brewery, fantastic food and cider for a very reasonable price

Lovely food, drinks and friendly staff

Disappointing. The food was overpriced and the wait was 30 minutes more than stated when ordering. This would not have mattered but the quality of the food was significantly below par. When the bar staff were approached about the Nachos that had been burnt and baked in to the paper underneath, I was told this is how it should come. For £7.50 I (and clearly others visiting that night who had the same thing to say) expect a better standard than that, especially form a pub that boasts Welsh pub of the year, albeit form 1974. This could all have been forgiven except for the fact the bar staff then went to moan to the kitchen staff about my complaint, with me standing not 10 feet away.

Well if I were you I would which we have get there on monday tuesday and Wednesday 50% off food divine try out the fish pie or beef and ale pie delicious

Great family pub and restaurant friendly staff the owners were lovely great beer wine food etc will definitely be back

Great pub serving craft bears, also they have a distillery.
