The best restaurants in Carmarthenshire West Wales

Lovely Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Friendly staff and quick service.

The atmosphere is lovely, feels like a nice and comfortable place to have your coffee/snacks. There is an upstairs also, which many don’t seem aware of as it’s always empty up there. I like the feel, love the selection of snacks eg pastries/chocolate treats. So it’s worth a visit. However, the staff are not great. They are quite rude and short tempered. The person I met for coffee there came back from the counter saying he would never come back as they had experienced the rudest service. I had already had a mistake in my order happen, and when I went back up to explain this I was met with a half hearted attitude, when I seemed surprised at this there was a clear passive aggressive quick change in attitude. But I didn’t do anything further, I just accepted the mistake because i didn’t want the fuss. I must add the crockery isn’t as clean as it could be either. All this aside, if you take the staff out of the equation, it’s a great place feel, nice location, great deco, great tasting drinks and snacks

I went with my daughter for our evening meal. We hadn't been before so we weren't sure what to expect. The service was very friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Our food arrived on a trolley and was transferred to our table. It looked really tasty. I had a prawn puri instead of a naan. Delicious! My main was a prawn Jalfrezi again it was really tasty. My daughter chose a Danzak with prawns and spinach and a garlic naan. Even though it was Tuesday there were plenty of people there. Most were locals.

Called in for lunch today as I have done many times before. Food and service is usually excellent. However today was a completely different experience. The service I had was absolutely terrible. The two young men behind the counter both had very very bad attitudes and an aggressive manner. They were both very sarcastic and rude. In future if I see they are on shift when I’m visiting Llanelli I will be going elsewhere.

Chips good but when my husband asked for some paper to carry them back to his car because they were hot she gave him some begrudgingly saying the customer before him was given some because they had curry sauce.

Great food at reasonable prices for both adults and children. Lovely member of staff and so helpful. Not far out of Brecon.

Absolutely the tastiest Carvery Iv had in Llanelli Delicious food and lovely friendly staff , my new favourite place for food 😊😊

This place is so clean it’s an example to others The breakfast I had was perfection. Eggs fried good and large eggs used ! Bacon was very high in quality as was the toast. Proper thick toast and the tea was not bad A bit over the place with serving as they were too busy perfecting the food but I also say I prefer my tea or coffe after the breakfast and that’s what I got I’ll be back

Lovely food. Atmosphere was good, staff extremely friendly. Water provided for bertie and had 2 sausages with our food.

We came here with mixed feelings not sure what it was like after reading very mixed reviews. We arrived and were the first ones there as we were early. Greeted by the lovely man we think was the owner - he was very chatty and friendly you could tell he loved being there and interacting. Very speedy service & food. The food and plates were piping hot and all of the food tasted delicious. We all had different meals and we all agreed we would come here again. It was reasonably priced too. We did notice the toilet room had some mould in which would be the only criticism really. Overall really happy with our meal & service here & glad we didn't listen to the bad reviews.

I come to Pontarddulais once a year while hubby visits a client and was excited to learn of the new espresso bar here. However, I was shocked at the prices!!! £4 for a latte and £3.90 for a flat white/cappuccino. Yikes! We were recently in Melbourne and Sydney and the most I paid for a latte there was £3, overlooking Sydney harbour. Mostly £2 generally and never had a bad one. Sadly, Coaltown’s flat white was way too strong and I didn’t enjoy 😝. I’ll bring my own next time. Shame, as I like the smell and ambience of a coffee shop.

Spotted this cafe on my travel back from Pembrokeshire when i passed through kidwelly. The cafe its self is a quaint place easily spotted on the main road, as i entered i was seated by friendly young staff member with menus. The prices even in this day and age seemed extreme but thought id give the benefit of the doubt that the food would be worth the cost, order a latte, a Jacket with beans and cheese then a scone, the food was mediocre and all store bought so i don’t know why the charge so high, but unfortunately i had the dishonour of meeting the owner, She has a cold demeanour about her and saw her berating a staff member quite harshly then overheard her bad mouthing that same member of staff to another while i was in the bathroom, I understand telling off a staff member but to then go to another member of staff is horrid! I payed and left in a hurry after tipping the youngster, i don't mind paying a fair amount to small businesses but do better in treating your staff, they are the only reason you are still open! with her demenour she wouldnt last without those employees who made the stop worth it! Do Better!

Delivery guy was lovely… Ordered around £40 worth Chicken was strange can’t describe it, it’s normally my favourite I buy food here all the time maybe a different batter? Hanging lol Also wanted to try the southern gravy but unfortunately it had all clumps in it with what seemed to be powder and the chips where aright I do think we had extra chicken but don’t think we should of gutted lol x

Didn’t visit Sloppy Joes visited the bakery which is run by the same couple, got some pastries and bread. Sausage roll was lovely.

Fantastic Sunday carvery with first class crackling! Well organised with two lanes for a speedy tasty lunch! Shout out to Dylan 🙌🏼
