We visited on 2nd October for my husband’s birthday. Great pub, very friendly and warm welcome from everyone. The new owners had only been operating for about a month and they were working hard to make positive improvements to the menu. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and will certainly be back next time we visit the area.

Went for lunch. Lots of choice. Great food. Lovely staff. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. There was a peaceful atmosphere. We drove down to South Wales from West Sussex and were impressed by the scenery and the beaches. All 5 of us had different meals and they were all delicious.

We had gone to Llaugharne Castle and we were really disappointed in the choice of food near the castle given the fact that there are 2 pubs, a cafe and a small burger van type thing. We have 2 fussy children as well. We drove up the road and found the carpenters Arms.The pub was quiet, the owner Lottie was really kind and welcoming. The food was well priced and tasty. Drinks were good. Resident dog was a sweetie. She even brought out a dessert for the birthday girl, unprompted and had a candle. Very lovely and would come again. A proper British pub.

Didn't stay, just popped by for food and drink with kids. Food was great, really fresh. Only criticism was the kids meal was expensive at 8.50. Other than that, it was spot on. Food portion was plenty, especially for the kids so I guess the price was justified to a certain extent..

Pete and Bex...what can i say other than the most amazing and caring people I have ever met. Although I wasnt staying here the whole team made me feel so welcome I didnt want to come home! The food is out of this world, no way are you going hungry! Warm and friendly environment to relax and nothing is ever too much trouble. The whole team are amazing. I was in town for three days and ate here every night! Cant wait to bring the whole family back next time and this time we will 100% book a room
