Wrights independent food emporium in Carmarthenshire

Great ambience about the place. Very relaxed and friendly staff. Food was superb. Excellent choice of drinks including a top notch flat white.

We love it here, always a warm welcome, quality food and always nice to buy a few things from the store at the front. many thanks.

Great atmosphere. Great layout. Really has a nice feel inside. Staff are friendly. Absolutely LOVE the food shop area and the shop further back from that selling things like soaps and bags. Lovely fresh location with trees around. I’d say the served food wasn’t great, I wouldn’t eat there again, and it was really overpriced! But I’d 100% return for hot drinks and the food shop!

Another delightful visit and lunch on our way to Aberporth. Great dine in food as well as a beautifully stocked shop with lots of lovely Welsh fare too. Diolch yn fawr.

Delicious food homemade with fresh ingredients. Loved it. Very friendly staff and lots of great foods to buy in the shop.

Ordered a steak sandwich for £14.50. Sourdough bread took 10 goes with a steak knife to cut it. Ended up leaving nearly all the bread . The steak salad and tomatoes tasted nice but it wasn’t a large amount . They did discount one of the two sandwiches we had when we complained. For that price also there was nothing with it like coleslaw or salad garnish . The bread tasted ok when you managed to cut some but I’ve had better steak sandwiches in a pub for half the price .

Stopped here on the way home from Carmarthen as recommended by family members. Greeted with a warm welcome by their friendly staff and was pleased to see a selection of local produce on the menu. The place is quaint, natural and just what you want from a rustic honest place to enjoy food and drink with family and friends.

So even though we called in a for a coffee and cake it was far too much optimism to expect a cake that was at least fresh and to arrive at the same time as the coffee. Dreadful!! Place has so much potential - not difficult to supply freshly home baked cakes! Nonetheless, they didn’t charge us! Whole premises could do with a good scrub! Won’t be returning.

This restaurant has potential, but there are areas that need improvement. Both the restaurant and shop areas could benefit from better cleanliness. The food was average, not outstanding. The service could be more attentive and friendly. Overall, there is room for enhancement in various aspects of the dining experience.

Excellent food. Great staff. Awesome products to purchase Reason for only three stars is because the dining areas are dog friendly. Not nice having the strong smell of wet dog while your eating!

Really enjoyable Easter brunch with the family. The food was fantastic and the service friendly and faultless. The Cuban sandwich was immense - was full all day after that! And my wife and Mum both spoke very highly of the vegetable bubble and squeak. And then there were the cakes! Wow. Have been here on several trips to see my folks and it was not this great last time tbh. But this experience was five stars all round. Lovely environment and obviously run by people who know their food. The menu is not extensive like you get in many places - but my goodness it was tasty. Looking forward to going back…

What an amazing find superb food and the portions were enormous. They have a fabulous shop with a great selection of beers. Friendly staff, a beautiful setting & a very delicious meal highly recommended

Very disappointed very limited menu, some of which had run out. Hardly any vegan options. This is not our first visit we have been coming for years, what had happen etc no specials board and very limited choice. What we had was good but no choice.

Great food.The cheeseboard is fantastic and enough for2.3 Welsh cheeses ,lovely bread,cheese scone,biscuits,apple chutney.Lovely cakes and good choice of drinks The shop had fab produce too.

Always a great excursion when heading West. A must for anybody who enjoys good food. The location also stocks a great deal of fantastic food companies for you to take home on your return trip.

I ordered the steak sandwich and it came with mayo. It didn’t say mayo on the menu so the waitress suggested to scrape it off which I agreed to but it was still in there so I couldn’t eat any of it. . In my opinion they should have made a new one without mayo but maybe i expect too much. Anyway my dog had some nice steak. This put me off buying anything in the shop and won’t be going back in a hurry.

This place has gone from my favourite to I'm never coming back. been here so many times and love it always had lovely food and coffees this time tho it had a reduced menu not much on the menu and was shocked to c empty seats something I've never seen before there I will only be coming back once the menu is back up to full strength and I will be reluctant to come back even then gutted

Our first visit to Wrights was a few years ago and we were agog at all the amazing cakes so read out on a big table which is just about the first thing you see on entry. We were not disappointed with our choices, and the helpings were very generous. Those cakes were absolutely delicious, and so was the coffee. The only downside was the cost. It did seem rather expensive, but I have to say that, fir a special treat, it is really worth a visit.

Food was well below average …….nothing like was advertised on the internet… what was shocking was the outright hostile service…… the waitress slamming food down and huffing and puffing….. the other staff were of similar calibre…. A very long wait for very average food …… the ploughman’s lunch more resembled afternoon tea in Dartmoor prison….. will never go there again….. try it at your own peril.

We called in for lunch and it was delightful, we shared the heritage tomatoes with lebaneh open sandwich and the roast pork cubano, they were both lovely but the heritage tomatoes were amazing, I didn't want to share. Helpful and friendly staff, picked up some shopping in the deli, great place.

Lovely staff. Nice location. Overpriced and very limited menu. In fact a Welsh rarebit was ordered and we received a doorstep cheese sandwich for £10. We have had lovely food there in the past so we’re disappointed that our meal was only average.

We’ve been here many times pre covid. Today was the first time that we left disappointed. Menu was extremely limited. £9 for a grilled cheese sandwich which came with absolutely nothing, not even a small side salad, was way overpriced. We will go back, but not for a good while.

Really high quality ingredients - many of them local. Love the welsh rarebit, pork cubanos sandwiches, pecan tart......... Service v friendly and knowledgeable. coffee's great as well.....

Despite all the current obstacles, Wrights continue to provide interesting and tasty fare albeit a limited menu due to kitchen staff restrictions. It remains well worth a visit (remember to book first) The smoked haddock chowder and mutton stew were superb. Hats off to Wrights.

Called in today and was quite desperate to get my mouth around a cubana sandwich so was horrified to be given an extremely limited 2 or 3 course menu. We’d arrived at the restaurant just before 11.30 and the waitress told my husband they didn’t open until 12.00 so I was loathe to leave without ordering as we had waited 35 minutes in the car! I ordered a beetroot, Stilton and walnut salad as a starter which was nice enough. Then we both had the meatballs for a main - again they were nice enough but not what either of us would normally have chosen. Hubby had a dessert of meringue with fruit, which he enjoyed. I understand why there wasn’t a full menu as the waitress explained they had to reduce the number of people in the kitchen - due to Covid. But I don’t understand why they went for the 2/3 course option of only a choice of two for each course. I’d would have preferred a selection of small say 6 plates - then choose 3 for your meal. Or something similar.

Visited with my daughter for lunch during the government scheme. The two course lunch would have been £25 per person, which frankly was extremely expensive for the choice and portion size. However during the scheme it was £10 per person cheaper. If it hadn’t have been for the discount I’d have been dissatisfied and somewhat disappointed but at £30 inclusive of one drink each was ok. Still expensive for a lunch but it was a treat as we’d been stuck in for months. Would my experience make me go back? Not really.

After bragging this place up to our friends for the last couple of years we finally took them to visit. Only three choices on the “limited” menu, none of which really appealed for an early lunch. Set prices too - realised after we left we must of been charged for 4, courses rather than the 2 courses we had. And One of our party only had a coffee rather than a second course!After handing over £100 on a bill of £92 the waitress said thank you very much and didn’t bother offering change!Look, the food was ok but offering a plate of lentils with a potato covering and charging £24 is rather taking the psss.

Clearly a very popular watering hole and reasonably priced freshly cooked food. Shame the menu was limited to only 2 of each of starter/mains and dessert but the dishes were very enjoyable...........the ex-pub has been well updated with tables (perhaps) excessively over socially distanced. Enjoyment of the meal was tempered by the breeze blasting in through open windows which we were told was necessary to meet Covid guidelines....... Wouldnt like to eat there in a couple of months time if that stated rule persists!!!

Booked for Saturday evening during Wrights alternative COVID-service. Can’t imagine how tricky it must have been to redesign and continue to serve customers. We really enjoyed their set 3 course menu - that meant we tried some very tasty food that maybe we wouldn’t have usually ordered and some Delicious white wine from their french supplier. All served up with friendly chat and no fuss! Ginger sponge with butterscotch sauce deserves a special mention and coffee was great! Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting this side of the Brecon Beacons - for dinner or hopefully to buy from the shop when its able to be fully open.

This place is my favorite around the area. Their food is always incredibly tasty, and you can tell most if not everything is organically sourced, even the ginger beer (which I recommend). Despite the circumstances, and the adjustments they have had to make, we were still able to enjoy a lovely lunch with delicious food. Highly recommend.

We are unashamed fans of Wright’s and it was one of the first places we visited when 5 mile restriction lifted. 54 mile round trip for a Cubano and a Rarebit so worth it. Today we went for the set lunch menu £25 for three courses. Even a thunderstorm to end all thunderstorms did not deter us or them. We were originally in the marquee outside - customers ok but staff getting drenched as storm really took hold. Starters of hummus with peppers & pomegranate seeds and a bruschetta of halloumi and heritage tomatoes were worth the trip alone. The flavours released were just gorgeous (the house red by the way perfectly complemented the bruschetta). We moved inside for the rest of the meal. The Mains came in bowls which although looked small seemed never ending. The Risotto Primavera was full of peas, asparagus and wilted greens - the cheese a little too sharp for my husband’s taste (pecorino perhaps?). I had the mutton curry. Not my top choice of meat but not greasy, so tender (cliche melt in the mouth) and in a hot sweet curry sauce with potato and a generous dollop of raita. Served with a soft warm flatbread to mop up the sauce. Delicious Finished off with the signature Chocolate Torte and ice cream for me, the husband opting for meringue with cream and sweet sticky plums. Great value for £25 a head at best of times but then £10 off pp for Eat Out Help Out scheme. #bonus As ever great food and resourceful

I’ve always loved coming here, but the staff were particularly lovely on a day that was quite stressful and made sure to accommodate me in any way they could. Food was top notch as per usual! Would highly recommend.

Haven't been to Wrights for quite a few months but dropped in today on our way back from Swansea in the afternoon. Food excellent as usual -

friendly staff and good food. also local produce sold in their shop. will definitely be going there again.

We visited Wright’s after several recommendations from friends and were SO glad we made the trip! Quirky, cosy and inviting from the minute we walked through the door. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was out of this world! We had the Pork Belly Cubano, potato cakes and a stunning ginger cake to finish off. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back!

What a super evening of tapas and music! A great range of local beers and home made beverages. Quirky and culture at its best! Rather pricey but well worth a visit with some very unusual and delicious food and drink ideas that will whet your appetite.

Super delicious food, really friendly staff! The food is reasonably priced and really delicious (best brunch in Wales?). The staff were really accommodating of us and couldn't do more to help. This is not our first visit and we will definitely be returning many more times!

So many friends had recommended this place, it’s a long drive for us but we eventually managed to visit and we were not disappointed. Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Knowledgeable friendly waiter and the selection and quality of the food was excellent. My husband had the beef and I opted for the chickpea fritter .... delicious. Loved the fact that we could buy produce there as well, left with some local honey and gin. Will definitely visit again.

After many visits in the past to Wrights Emporium, today’s visit may have just been an off day. We and our family have been glowing in our praise of it in the past, And as a result many of the customers have use their services. It’s fresh local produce and emphasis on healthy simple eating at a great price made it quite unique in our experience in this part of Wales. It’s shabby chic approach seemed highly appropriate, and the inability to book tables but have to wait until they became available or part of the same identity.Today the table we sat at was literally falling apart, and the paving slabs around it with dangerously loose and rocking. There was a constant loud drip immediately above my head where we were sitting, onto the thin roof, which drove me nuts! It took absolutely ages for a very simple meal to be delivered, and they totally forgot to supply the second round of drinks.But the food was good and as we expected, and the atmosphere the same as ever.So maybe it was a bad day, but it cannot be disputed that they need to invest once again in improving the decor and some key elements of what is now looking very worn out shabby chic.

We Visited Wrights on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year and although we had a short wait for a table the food and service was fantastic. It was very busy but we were served more or less straight away and the waitress/waiter were very informative about the he food and drinks. Definitely recommend the lamb and ham hock cawl with cheese and lovely fresh bread. Thank you

Four adults, light lunch, excellent soup of the day with home made bread swiftly served. Then a visit to the deli on the way out. Prices slightly higher than the average for the area but food is eclectic and very good.

My neighbour in London recommended we should try Wright’s if we were going to Wales. Despite it being an hour from where we staying, it was well worth the trip. Lovely building, wonderful shop selling local food, pottery, books etc and top quality food. My sausage roll was so good I went back and tried the bacon one. I was completely stuffed but still managed to (eventually) pack in an amazing piece of pecan and treacle tart, selected from the wide range of completely irresistible cakes and puddings. While off the beaten track, Wright’s is definitely worthy of a detour.

Went for lunch, not sure it opens in the evening. Very family and dog friendly, indoor and outdoor. There are different rooms so you could be in the garden room or indoor room but all are good. Food was lovely and well cooked, with a choice of items you’d recognise and other more traditional welsh dishes. Staff all friendly and helpful offering advise on things we didn’t recognise. A great experience

Have had a table for two several times and we have always left impressed. Most recently, tomato and spicy lentil soup with coriander yoghurt and jambalaya, plum and almond tart and pecan pie. All dishes delicious and filling.

We were found a table for two in the back room. It was really cosy and warm on a wet day. We both had the mushroom on sourdough toast, the portions were extremely generous. I highly recommend a visit. We will be back.

We came here for brunch - scrambled eggs on toast, and scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon. The eggs were perfect, and the toast really good! The ginger cake in a bowl of butterscotch sauce was spot on. Good coffee too! Service was great. Loved it!

This is a splendid place. Visitors to the area, we found it through listings and find the five stars absolutely deserved (unlike many places!). There are several rooms, so levels of noise are perfect. They admit dogs to a couple of the rooms, again sensible. The menu is quite short (again sensible and a sign of fresh cooking) and a decent choice. Wines are fine and we were offered a sample before buying the bottle. Service was efficient and well-timed. As and when we go to this area again, we shall certainly put this at the top of our list of restaurants. Highly recommended.

Making our way back to our hotel having visited the National Botanical Garden of Wales, we wanted a nice lunch ... and after a Google search happened on this place, getting on toward 2 p.m. Car park was pretty full for a September weekday, as was the restaurant itself, but we just grabbed a corner table in time.

First Satirday visit - although we've been many times during the week. Staff were welcoming and happy to advise and inform on menu options. Food excelled expectations and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Went to meet a relative with my dog. They have a special room for people with dogs very good. My gripe was that the food was poorly presented and quite expensive. Very much a vegatarian restaurant and the organic products were expensive.

This place never disappoints,we are so lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep the food is locally sourced and freshly cooked to order, the staff and service are amazing and nothing is ever too much effort for them ,the decor is über cool using all recycled furniture which adds a rustic relaxed feel to the place.

We booked as a party of 4. The menu was not very accommodating as my partner is pregnant and most things on the menu she couldn't eat. We asked if some variations could be made on a selection of dishes, all of which were refused as the dishes had already been prepared! They even refused to make my partner a chicken sandwich! My food was ok, the starter was nice. Main was average, but the desert was outstanding.

Nothing I can add here that has not already been said below other than this place is utter quality. An absolute credit to the owners and staff.

Truly wonderful food- I’ll be dreaming about the crispy aubergines with honey for evermore! Our whole family (including toddlers and baby) made to feel very welcome. Delicious food, exceptional service- and on a bank holiday weekend too. Couldn’t ask for more.

A fascinating maze of different rooms and atmospheres in each, in a rambling former coaching Inn. Great cakes, sandwiches and light meals, and a delicatessen with interesting quirky foods. Fantastic facility to have in a rural area and it's always packed. Our visitors really enjoy it.

We visit Wright’s frequently despite living in London and it still being a 75 minute drive from my in-laws house - and it simply never disappoints.

A little off the beaten track but well worth a visit... as was proven by the business it was doing on a miserable wet day. The pub is old, and it has been kept 'rustic' but there is a great atmosphere, friendly efficient staff and a hands-on 'mine host', and the food is a little different and good value. There is also a deli with some interesting products for that impulse buy.

Although a limited menu, the food is delicious and not too expensive, and they have very good veggie options. All serving staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and we had a nice chat with our server about the local area when he served us our food. The venue is very rustic and informal, it almost feels like you're dining in someone's living room! I also loved the little shop in the venue, which sold local produce, whole foods, books, and more.

Lovely food but the service was not as good as when I have visited before. It is always busy so maybe it was due to that.

A lovely deli and restaurant with mediterranean style food but also using local Welsh produce. Interesting selection of drinks. Good meze and salads. A variety of seating including sofas, tables and chairs and outside seating in the courtyard, some with sunshades. Friendly staff. We took away a lovel focaccia loaf, some local cheese and heritage tomatoes for a picnic the next day.

We've just enjoyed a cracking visit to the emporium. It was the final stop on a family day out for our grandsons birthday.

Drove past and decided to pop in. I was welcomed by a lovely lady who gave us a great welcome. The menu was very different, but all hearty good food. We went with the veg antipasta, potato cakes and arancini - all were so tasty and great value for money. All around top marks, we will definitely be visiting again. It’s a shame that I only had a few coins to tip, as I wish I had some more.

This was our second visit in a matter of weeks. Really like the style and vibe of the place. First time we sat inside and second time out in the garden area on a hot afternoon. The Cubano sandwich is delicious - a definite if you like pork belly. Also the rarebit and leek was a tasty option. Nice coffees and complimentary water. Staff very friendly, especially the woman who served us outside. Onsite shop with local foods too. Will visit again.

Arrived not having pre booked and needed a table for 5, no problem but it got busy very quickly.

Brought family who were visiting for the day and were guided to a table in one of the far rooms. Ideal as we had a young child so we were out of the way. Nice, quirky venue but my pet hate of a blackboard to order from! I found the writing hard to read and you stand in everyone’s way whilst hastily choosing something in order to return to your table. Still, the options were appealing and we all ordered various dishes. Service was friendly, water served without question is always appreciated though the coffees seemed a little on the small side and the house lemonade lacked the kick of lemon. All dishes were enjoyed, as were desserts. As we are local I’d happily return.

We have just visited Wright's for an early evening meal and thought it was great. Really quirky place, and the food was excellent. We were made most welcome and would highly recommend if you are visiting the area 👍

Really lovely courgette and feta quiche and generous cheeseboard served(for once) at room temperature.Great ginger pud with toffee sauce. Own produce available to buy.

We enjoyed lunch at Wright's twice while visiting Wales. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and food. Sadly we missed out on delicious looking cakes, so will have to come back on next trip.

Mushrooms on toast very tasty. Rissoles also great. I love this place has lots of rooms, Cosy fire. Will be back soon

Very much enjoyed our stay here in one of the cottages - nicely styled, big comfy bed, well equipped and lovely and quiet. Doesn't quite get 5 stars as not as polished as other places we have stayed for a similar price.

Popped in for a snack after being recommended. Superb. Very creative combinations. Lovely people. Run by Simon Wright food writer and broadcaster, and family. Artistic community hub too. Don’t want to leave!

It's out in the "sticks" but the food is good (if a little pricey) excellent venue & friendly welcoming staff. Well worth a visit.

Popped in after hearing about this little gem. Only had coffee (superb cappuccino) and a brownie, which turned out to be two brownies! Great atmosphere and wide selection of food. Will definitely be heading back. The drive from Black Mountain Pass to Wright’s is pretty epic too.

We visited Wrights on Monday this week for the first time in over a year. Enjoyed the food overall and the service from the gentleman with a beard at front of house was excellent when we arrived. Overall an enjoyable visit however the female at front of house was absolutley miserable from start to finish and particularly when delivering our lattes. She didnt ackwneldge us at all, couldnt even muster a hello to me whilst paying or a thank you. This was such a shame to us as we have always loved Wrights and the place deserves a better standard of staff than this rude woman.

Called in here late morning when in the area as had seen it advertised locally as a place for a quick break etc. Opens at 11am but 9am on fri and sat till late. Closed on tues. Covers coffee and cake very well and also many other meals on extensive lunch and dinner menus. Can have breakfast. Vast selection of condiments in deli (they got pastas, rices, canned tomatoes, preserves, chocolate, coffee, jam, chutney) and also bottled craft beers and organic wines plus french and welsh cider of which we purchased some...! The cake slices are large so we shared between two (we had the chocolate brownie)..... Will be back for a meal.....! They even offer food to take home to eat or bake....not tried any yet but we are sure in for a good experience.

Bit disappointed as we’d gone out of our way, decided against lunch as the menu was a bit uninspiring. Coffees a bit small and service not great.

Really fantastic little hideaway. Highly recommended. Good little gem with a great selection of vegetarian dishes for the wife also.

We came in for a late lunch and were really pleased with our food and service. Pork rib and chorizo ragu pasta was fabulous. Great selection of wines too. Highly recommend.

We visit Wright’s whenever we are in the area. We have been there countless times and love the food and the drinks on offer. The kids also love it.

Always a pleasure! The staff are always so helpful and go out of their way to make sure everything is just right,such a relaxed environment with wonderful food and wine my favourite place.

My husband and I had lunch here today with friends. It was packed on a Wed lunchtime so we ended up in the wine room which had a record deck and a range of old vinyl records. Our friend took on the role of DJ and we had a lovely lunch chilling out to Simon and Garfunkel and Dusty Springfield. The food is not your usual pub grub but was very tasty with something for everyone. A great place to take your vegetarian or vegan friend when they come to visit as those options looked as delicious as the rest.

Wanted to visit this place for years and finally got here today. Had the pork belly Cubano sandwich which was stunning! Proper bread, quality ingredients and very filling, even for someone with a big appetite! Had two cappuccinos as they clearly know how to make a coffee unlike the dross you get elsewhere. My wife had a bacon sandwich which was also very good. We also took away the focaccia bread which was great and a chocolate brownie which was fairly good but nothing special. The reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is down to the service/attitude where there’s this air of ‘we’ll deal with you in our time’ (we were 2nd customer there so wasn’t busy) and feel of intrusion rather than the bright, friendly service this places deserves to match the food that really delivers!

Seated as soon as we arrived. Waitress was very helpful in discussing the menu with us! I went fit the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon! Divine! Great range of deserts on offer too!

This is not a conventional restaurant in appearance with a mix of seating and tables. The food is great, all fresh and well presented, not cheap but I feel the quality is worth it. The cakes are special, worth leaving a space for if you can, or have take something home for later.

Visited with a friend for lunch, place was busy. Food was lovely and such a choice,especially the puddings! We must have spent 3 hours there, not rushed at all, so many nooks and crannies. Lovely place with great food & staff.

Was looking for a breakfast to set us up for the day and couldn't have chosen any better.

The experience was very special. The choice of food is both unusual and very tempting. Lovely flavours and wholesome. There are many rooms to eat in with the deco both rustic and homely. A must place to visit.

Simply put, it's some of the best value and unique dining experiences in the region. Inventive dishes made with high quality ingredients and daily menu changes make it a nice place to visit regularly, you never know what might be on the menu board. Won't go into a long ramble about specific dishes but if you want excellent food, reasonable prices, great atmosphere and service, make sure to visit Wright's. You might even be surprised by the beautiful roads that might lead you there!

I have now been to Wright's a few times and it impresses me each visit.

A lovely place for all the right reasons. Attentive staff, excellent food, beautiful atmosphere and all at a reasonable price.

Visited as a group of 4 great staff very welcoming, chilled out atmosphere while having great food and drinks. Will definitely return thanks all!!

Firstly can I say that I wrote a review on the other Wright's emporium but I think it's no longer the one people read. I felt compelled to write a review as I truly had a beautiful meal. So did my partner and my three year old enjoyed the home made chocolate brownie with some help from his dad lol. Ok. I had butternut squash spinach and pesto lasagne with a huge bowl of tasty salad leaves. Lush no more to say. My partner had the salmon and pickle sandwich which had so much lovely salmon in it and tasted stunning. They get the salmon from crickhowell because it's so good. My partner kept on and on about how good it was but I was more than happy with my food and wouldn't have swapped if he'd asked. In fact he may have lost a finger if he'd tried lol. I was stuffed full like a pin cushion. But we were sitting within the hypnotic sight and smell of dessert. I swear it literally called me no it begged me to try it and my name isn't even Alice. I had the sultana and nutmeg cheesecake. Sounds simple and basic. Don't be fooled. Each dessert looked lovely but mine was lush and I didn't have enough room to try them all. So if you want a nice meal then that's what you get. I will return and next time not with my children. Thank you for a really enjoyable experience x

Lovely food but somehow expected more.

Met up with friends. Extremely popular but spacious place. Large board of tapas type meals individualy cooked and a lot ofthe produce is local. Caters for meat lovers and vegetarians. Also a good deli area to buy to take home. Nearby are Aberglasney Gardens and National Botanic Gardens, numerous castles and Picton monument

Absolutely beautiful food, can't fault anything even the red wine was lovely and I never drink red! The deep fried sprouts with bacon and maple syrup were to die for!

Having tried to get a table many times we thought we were lucky to succeed. Strange place. No menus or wine list on the table and the dishes on the board lacked description.The house wine was appalling. It is served on drought and tastes more like cider than Chenin Blanc. Our meals arrived and were lukewarm, probably why there were only two hot dishes on the entire menu. It was an expensive experience but the entertainment was provided by a chef in the kitchen who was using her hands for everything, from putting smoked salmon on scrambled eggs to dishing out sandwiches. Strange place. Won’t be going again

Top produce, expertly prepared with lovely atmosphere. Aside from their informal eaterie they have a minimarket selling top quality items for the foodie and the very best of local fresh produce. A must visit if your in the area.

First time we've visited. Had read reviews so knew that may have to wait for table, menu would be on the board and independent drinks to choose from vs. branded drinks.

Came for a simple lunch. The pork cabana might cost £8 but it is the best sandwich I have ever tasted-and I have made 100 + reviews of restaurants around the world. The pork combined with cheese and ham was simply sensational

We visited at 2pm on a Sunday for a late light lunch. Excellent welcome, wide eclectic choice in what was clearly a busy period. The drinks arrived swiftly but the food took approximately fifty minutes. However the wait was not as bad as it seems due to the relaxed atmosphere and the clear evidence that every body was working hard. We were just on the end of a 'rush'. When it arrived the lunch was tasty and the cake outstanding, you have e just got to indulge.
