The best restaurants serving British food in West Wales

The Bothy Tea Room were an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Situated at the Colby Woodland Gardens, what set the tearooms apart from typical cafés at National Trust grounds was the array of loose leaf teas on the menu. There were some delightful-sounding herbal brews, of which we only time to try one, in addition to their black tea house blend. All teas and cakes were served in bone china, which made the tea-drinking experience truly decadent. There was a good freshly-baked cake selection too, which perfectly complemented their teas. For a tea and cake-focussed room, they had some surprisingly inventive bread rolls and baguettes, too. Service was polite and helpful, and the staff managed well during the busy time we visited. Located at the Colby Woodland Gardens, the location was perfect for lunch during the middle or at the end of a walk. It does become very busy during the middle of the day, though. There is a little indoor seating, with many more benches outside. We were delighted to have lunch and tea here, and would fully recommend it!

Booked a table for 2 for sunday lunch at 2pm. We were given a menu & we both chose the lamb, which we were told had sold out. Disappointing, but we opted for the beef. Our food was eventually served 50 mins later on cold plates followed by a tureen of vegetables 5mins after that , with a tiny jug of gravy ( to share!), which was also cold! We complained to the waiter who took both plates away to heat up, which took a further 5 mins & he brought them back one at a time, with extra jug of gravy. By which time the tureen of veg was also cold..but to be honest by then we had lost the will to live! But warmed up or cold, the meal wasnt good. While the beef was tasty, the roasties were like bullets, and the parsnips charred to a crisp & the vegetables were cold & tasteless. The mashed potato tasted & looked like it was from a packet. We did ask for the dessert menu, but since only 2 items were available, neither of which appealed to us, we paid the bill & left. As we made our way to the car park a man ,who was sat in the smoking shelter, asked if we had enjoyed our meal ( we think he was probably the landlord?!). My husband told him how how awful it had been, & all he said was "Aw..sorry bout that"! We will definitely not be returning or recommending this place to others.

Nice food nice atmosphere went there with my wife in the evening of our friends bday excellent staff very friendly

This was our first visit and what a great find. Quiet, clean and most welcoming! Good 'cuppa' and coffee too! Will certainly visit again.

We had our first meal here after arriving. Good take away menu, prompt. Good service. I had chilli which was great. I think they may also deliver but not sure.

Tues eve at gellifawr for an evening meal. Very limited choice but thankfully neither of us are fussy. We asked why there wasn't no music on and apparently speaker wasn't working which made things very quiet and awkward. The waiter was great, isaac, no faults at all, felt sorry for him if I'm honest. He offered us drinks, no lager :/. The meal then was very disappointing. Very greasy and small portions, no flavour. Tonight's bill was 47.. Last night's at a nearby pub was 26... No comparison. Last night's was 10x better. Very disapointed. 3/10

Lovely food ( not greasy) friendly staff, spotlessly clean. Relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place, ideal if your on a long journey.

Spotted this fish and chips bar on trip advisor last Thursday and thought we would give it a go. We arrived 15 minutes before closing but the gentlemen was absolutely brilliant. We got chatting about knowing people from the Forest of Dean whilst the food was cooked fresh and was completely delicious. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the Burry Port area.

Traditional, characterful pub owned and run by a decent man. Good local customers and selection of drinks. No food but if you want a welcome where you dont have to feel like a holidaymaker, this place is for you.

Light lunch on a wet Saturday. Limited menu but ideal for lunch. I had salmon open sandwich. Delicious beautifully cooked. Husband had Chicken and mushrooms with potatoes and broccoli, equally tasty Cakes looked lovely. Good value for money. Quiet , warm near woodburner. Goo

Have been so many times and can honestly say we have never had a bad experience here….. whenever we are in the area we always have food here…

We normally go here for breakfast a few of us on a Saturday, on the Scooters, excellent value for money and friendly services.

My Mum and I went for a Sunday lunch. We were thoroughly looked after - nothing was too much trouble. The service was phenomenally quick and the food was fantastic! Thank you so much - keep up the great work! Mum and I will be back - it is a guarantee!

Had an amazing lunch for a special celebration and the staff were so welcoming. Delicious pizzas and very dog friendly. Visited the upstairs gallery adjacent to the restaurant which sold unique and well crafted items. Both venues well worth a visit.

ordered a breakfast for take out. Bacon was tough and dry.Black pudding overdone, crunchy and hard. Dont like chips on a breakfast, such a waste, maybe offer fried potatoes or something else. Asked for half and half for the beans and tomatoes and recieved 1 plum tomatoe on its own. Thats not half! Fair to say its expensive for what it is and I wont be purchasing here again. Such a let down.
