The best restaurants serving British food in West Wales

I’m really sorry to say that this was the worst Sunday Lunch I’ve ever (not) eaten. We came across Tafarn-y-Phoenix on a sunny Sunday and the lack of people in there should have been a red flag. I’m vegetarian and of the 3 options for Sunday Lunch, only one was available (the one I didn’t like) so the staff kindly allowed me to order ‘bits’ to make up a meal. My lunch arrived about 5 minutes before my Husband’s Beef Dinner. All the vegetables were cooked to death - with the broccoli actually burning my mouth. The mash tasted like some kind of reconstituted powder and I would seriously doubt that the Yorkshire puddings were homemade as claimed. Everything was absolutely tasteless, especially the gravy which had the consistency and flavour of water. I didn’t eat it, it was that bad. I didn’t complain because the serving staff had been so nice, I didn’t want to cause any upset. Sorry! I’m the world’s worst cook, but I think even I could have made a better fist of it.

Went to Harvester Carmarthen today as a party of six. Special mention of our server Amelia who was super efficient and patient as we bombarded her with multiple questions despite her being very busy. Only negative are the plates which on the marble tables have an annoying trend of slipping and sliding.

Stop by here for a drink before going to a restaurant for Sunday lunch, we chose to sit outside. Bar staff serving were friendly

We stopped here for lunch on Tuesday, where to start, my husband had steak he said it was ok nothing to write home about, I opted for a roast pork dinner what a mistake one bite of the pork was enough had to spit it out tasted funny, gave my husband a bit to try, who also spat it out as it was sour and had a weird colour to it, my husband told the woman behind the bar no refund offered or change the dish, clearly not fresh at all people should avoid if the value their health

Chips were average. Few nice crispy ones, a lot of greasy mushy ones. Cod bites disgusting. Dry, rubbery grey/brown ‘cod’. Chicken nuggets, slimy and cheap. Very expensive for this standard of food. Absolute waste of money

Freshly prepared fish and chips, piping hot and presented well. Quick and efficient service. We will be back :)

Sadly our experience doesn’t match the many positive ones on the website. We waited an hour and a quarter for our food and when it did arrive, I can honestly say it was the worst steak I’ve ever been served … so overcooked and so tough! Will not be returning.

Don’t get me wrong, the bloke who runs it seems genuinely lovely and very accommodating. We popped in on a whim, a bit hesitant at first because of some of the reviews we’d seen, but honestly—it’s not quite what the reviews make it out to be. It’s a lovely, mediocre little place (and I mean that in the nicest way). Nothing fancy, but it has its own charm, and the welcoming host makes a big difference. I had the breakfast. It was a little on the greasy side, but then again, that’s pretty expected with a fry-up. The sausages weren’t quite to my taste—more like something you'd get from a chip shop—but that’s just personal preference. Overall, it was decent. Not the best, not the worst—just a solid little stop if you're in the area and fancy something simple.

This is a favourite for myself and friends. Staff are very helpful and happy. Food is excellent and we have always had a good meal. We will return soon. Thankyou all. Xx

I booked through booking .com had to pay extra £20 for dogs fair enough got there room had not been Hooverd at all I have small fawn pug dog and ting non mounting x pug walls in bathroom covered in long black dog hair loads of same on carped and even bedding didn’t complain my own fault electric switches weren’t working for over an hr offered a free coffee don’t drink coffee awful room staff are fab bar staff and awesome location is the best it is having a renovation but that don’t excuse dirty room

Beautiful beaches and lovely clean and tidy site

Had a takeaway delivered to our holiday site, food was fresh,hot and delicious. We will definitely use them again Thank you Two very satisfied customers

Went for a bag of chips …. Disgusting , the chips were still raw potato dripping in dirty tasting oil . Couldn’t eat them after one bite . Owner had cheek to ask a customer to say it’s the best chips in Llanelli, what a laugh , no wonder it has poor ratings

After ordering, we waited 50 minutes for the food to come out. It was very disappointing. The burgers were £14 each and very basic. The fish goujons basket meal stated that it came with 4 goujons but we only had 2. With drinks we paid £75 for 5 of us and it wasn’t worth it. We’d have been better off going to McDonald’s.

Bad decision by someone. Coffee machines changed to preset ones rather than a traditional barista style. Cannot have extra hot coffee so was lukewarm at best and took 3 times as long. Bring back the old machines! Staff fed up with everyone asking for extra hot coffee! Sorry but we will be going to Costa across the road from now on.
