Pen Y Bryn Arms in Pembrokeshire

We stayed near to this pub. From day one Jenny and her staff were friendly and polite. We had two meals, the Sunday roast lovely, and again on Tuesday evening. We had meals off the specials list both were piping hot and very good portions. Well worth a visit. Thanks to Jenny and her staff. Xx

Had a pork dinner, it was superb and then a piece of Ferrero rocher cake and icecream for afters.Worth every penny.YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED OWNER AND STAFF ,FIRST CLASS!!!!!

Great place to eat out near cardigan with good parking facilities. We had a main meal and dessert. Outstanding food, great service and a good choice of beer and cider. Highly recommend - Dessert is a MUST!!!

Poorly cooked food (mostly microwave cooked) I had curry with half chips, next to no meat and served with peas, sweetcorn, onion rings, mushrooms and more onion, with some extra onion added to replace the chicken! Family had sirloin steak but it was possibly boiled or microwaved then shown the grill served with the same sides as the curry. All pretty tasteless and expensive. Not going to be back - ever!

Not many pubs like this left, nice genuine welcome from the Landlord. Good value home cooked food. Well kept beer. Worth a stop if you are passing like we were.

This pub is really nice with a seperate bar and dining room. The staff are nice and the menu is varied with vegetarian options. I have been here some years ago and in my opinion the food snot as good as it was but its all home cooked.They do Sunday roasts as well as cementing food. There is a car park across the road for the pub.

Came here for Sunday Lunch with my family. A nice quiet, traditional pub with friendly staff. Lovely freshly cooked food with decent sized portions and loads of veg. Amazing selection of desserts too. Worth every penny.

We had Sunday lunch, it was sooo good. A really good, traditional Sunday roast. The people who served us were lovely. Just a great experience, we’re here for the week so we’ll definitely go back before we have to go home. Thank you Pen Y Bryn Arms 👌🏻

My friend and I had a lovely evening meal here. The food was lovely well cooked and hot. Would definitely go again

Excellent place for a drink and evening meal, very friendly staff, prepared a takeaway for our daughter who chose not to go out for dinner. Very welcoming. Food was very enjoyable, lots of specials on the board.

During a mid week break in December 2022, we visited this pub three times for an evening meal. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The owner and staff were extremely pleasant and friendly and really made us feel welcome. As the weather was bitterly cold, we also loved the roaring open fire. We would highly recommend this pub. Thank you very much.

Visiting the area with friends so ate here several times during our stay in the village. The food was excellent, choice of menu was quite outstanding for a small village pub. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend this lovely little pub.

During a weeks holiday 7-14 October for six friends in the village of Pen y Bryn we visited this pub 3 times, once for a Sunday roast and twice for evening meals. The menu had a very good selection and the desserts were to die for. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent every time, we would definitely recommend a visit here.

Been meaning to write this review for a while. We found this wonderful hearty pub on our way back from a carriage ride we did with Gentle Giants Shires, we said on our return sometime we would visit. We were not disappoint with our choice! Wonderful friendly place with honest food. Owners are friendly and very welcoming people, who you can have a laugh with. It's one of those places you will be happy to revisit, which is something me and the girls would love to do again! Thank you all for a fantastic time and meal. Look forward to seeing you all again soon! Xx

Excellent Sunday roast, simple and tasty, a very traditional British Sunday lunch. Service essential but friendly and attentive to the customer. Has been a very lovely lunch, spot on!

Great little pub. Very friendly staff and the meal was excellent as usual.We always have good food, and its just a couple of miles away from home great .

What a great find. Called in on the off chance of getting evening meal Easter sat. Walked in and was greeted by a young chap behind the bar who knew everyone. He was a right character and made everyone laugh. Specials on boards as well...

I ordered pork loin in apple and cider sauce. When it arrived I thought it looked more like a lamb shank in an oval bowl. I was expecting a freshly cooked loin steak or chunks in a sauce. What I got was a totally frozen...

What a quirky pub/restaurant. Fantastic selection of food at reasonable prices. Good service with friendly staff and the owner with a good sense of humour. Food was good cosy atmosphere.

Very happy. Lovely place lovely food lovely hosts. Excellent quality very good potions Will Definitely be back

We ate here three times during the two weeks we stayed in Cilgerran and were not disappointed. A good selection on the menu and the Sunday roast was very good. The portions are Is such a good size we didn’t test the dessert menu. Hosts very good as were the staff. One thing is the fish tank in the bar which was far too small for the two large fish it housed. Overall a good place to eat.

Went here for an evening meal when on holiday in Cardigan. I used to come here as a kid and always wanted to return. It doesn't look that inviting from the outside, but the welcome you get from the Landlord when you step through the door is one you will never forget. He is wonderfully bonkers and very funny indeed.

Very friendly staff, very helpful with wife’s dairy intolerance. Good selection on the menu, portions generous, very much enjoyed our meal and visit. Highly recommended. Just passing through and made welcome.

A lovely little pub restaurant with a good menu and excellent specials choices. The food is great, well cooked and in good portions. You won’t leave hungry.

Wow!! Had another amazing meal here tonight. Staff and food wonderful again. Thank you all for making us feel welcome once more. Will be back soon

Fabulous food, really nice atmosphere, very friendly and accommodating staff, we will definitely visit again.

WOW! Had an amazing meal tonight. Four of us had different meals and all cleaned our plates! What a lovely olde worlde pub with real fire. Loved it. Had a fantastic welcome and food was fabulous. Will definitely be going back. Amanda

Plain great grub at great prices ,clean and staff so friendly RECOMMEND IT'S LOVELY.VERY QUAINT LIKE A PUB SHOULD BE

Popped in for a drink whilst visiting Dad in Pen Y Bryn. Very friendly place and although we weren’t eating the food that came out looked delicious. Our two dogs were made very welcome with everyone making a fuss of them and the landlady had dog biscuits on hand.

We have visted the Pen Y Bryn many times with family. This particular occasion was for my moms Birthday. We had to wait at the bar for 5.minutes until what appeared to be a local decided to help us out and start to serve our drinks. We then sat at our table and waited quite a while until our orders were taken. Another table who came in after us, even though we were early, were served before us. I tried to explain my 8 year old daughter would like a selection of meat as would not eat much of the veg selection described as not to her taste, however she was given a yorkshire and the tiniest piece of beef. Unbelievable in fact my fathers meal when handed to him he thought was a childs meal. Moving on the veg which my grandmother had to ask for whilst everyone had almost finished there small meals arrived as a slop which we all believe were left overs from other customers as ours were forgotten. To finish when my mom diplomatically explained our disappointment the manager clearly could not handle the complaint in a managerial capacity. She raised her voice, did not apologise once although clearly recognising there was a problem as she discounted the meal. What ashame as my family and I were regulars at the Pen Y Bryn.

I don't know where to begin we have been several times and everything has been ok but having booked a meal for my birthday which my elderly mother wanted to treat the family we were bitterly disappointed We booked for 1.15 and arrived at 1.05 shown to our table and didn't see anyone for 50 minutes although everyone who arrived were seen to and can't describe what the meat looked like when it eventually arrived or should I say lack of it u have never seen anything like it my stepfather who is 88 said it was the worsted lunch it has ever received and the icing on the cake was they forgot our vegetables when reminded about them when my husband had eat is wafer slice of beef we were given vegetables which I can only describe as been scraps of everyone else's leftovers when I complained the tennents wife raised her voice like a banchee and revised to acknowledge any fault as fairly regulars Will never go again and I suggest she takes some lessons in customer satisfaction having taken part in many I would gladly teach her

Oh my where do I start? Absolutely loved my visit purely for the reason the landlord is hilarious he is so Basil Fawlty, however the food leaves a lot to be desired which was such a shame but we did giggle at the constant sound of the microwave pinging !

Food was average, had to eat in the bar, so felt on show, not very welcoming and made us feel awkward when we asked for a drink for our 17 year old, even though legally she can have a drink with a meal and we had the cheek to ask for a salad, which they pulled a face at. Definitely wouldn't recommend and wont be going again.

OMG the food was out of this world having lived localy for 64 yrs never been in the pub . My Duck in orange was exellent nicely presented .The puddings and the choice of icecreams was lovely and the welcome was warm and friendly and the place was nice and clean will certainly be back soon well worth a visit.

Great welcome on Sunday evening with a great choice of food and of ales. Publicans were friendly and chatty which made the evening all the better.

Good family pub with good food at a good price good banter see you again when I am down next keep up the good work

This is a fantastic place to eat. The staff are so friendly and hospitable. They were excellent with our young family (there were 9of us).The food is excellent and ooked and served with a smile. Also a wonderful beer selection. Can't recommend enough.

Surprising large menue. Decent size portions. Welcoming atmosphere. Might need to book for a Friday/Sat or Sunday meal.

Took 5 members of family for dinner. Everybody agreed excellent food and presentation at reasonable prices. Hosts extremely friendly and helpful. Will visit again.

Had a weeks holiday, found this pub. Straight away owners made me feel welcome, knowing my name on second visit. It became my regular haunt for the week! Great hot food, plenty of choice, great owners very attentive to your every need, also excellent with my children. Soon became part of the furniture as meals suited all our different taste, as plenty of choice. Could not fault the place. Will be back soon!

The restaurant did a special Mother’s Day two course lunch with coffee. Excellent value, great food and very pleasant

My partner and I have eaten here many times and we have never had a bad meal!

Lush food as always . Friendly landlords and staff . Lush log fire burning. Dog friendly. Nice cosy place. Recommended the place for a lunch .evening meal or a Sunday lunch.

Wow wot a fab pub!! Landlord so funny & friendly. Real ales. Log fire & DOG FRIENDLY!! average prices for food & drinks. Food was excellent. I had a Thai curry half/half, my husband had fish pie. Meals were accompanied by a tonne of rice,salad, mushrooms & peas... then along came a tray of chips 2 share!! Our dogs had 2 share our meals too as there was soooo much. We'll visit again 110%.

a great pub for sunday lunch. one needs to book as the food is so popular. mainly evening meals for the rest of the week

Went for dinner with all the family (10 of us and 3 young children). The food is fantastic, recommend the steak and ale pie! Really child friendly and great atmosphere. Recommend for a nice pub lunch/dinner. Nice vegetarian options too.

A warm friendly welcome and a fantastic menu selection, something for everyone. We had a scampi lunch special, cooked to perfection and very generous portions.

Called in on-spec as we were passing (without a booking) late on a Friday evening.

Old pub with a friendly landlord and one chatty customer. Ordered the beef steak suite pudding. The wife plumped for the lasagne. My lunch was a lot more pudding than beef, the lasagne was floating on liquid, both strangely came with some pieces of strawberry & a slice of orange, both quite disappointing.

Stopped of at this tiny, wonderfully old fashioned pub for a bite to eat after a long journey. Both John and the locals were really welcoming to us uprights and Poppy the Labrador. Others have mentioned microwaving going on but that happens in every pub - you just dont realise it. Tge foid we had was fine and nicely presented. We left well fed and with several top tips for our short break in Pembrokeshire.

Tuvimos una comida aquí con la familia. Buena variedad en el menú, la comida era deliciosa y abundante en el plato. Una cálida bienvenida. Lo recomiendo y volveré. Diolch

Llevamos a amigos aquí para una comida como de costumbre la comida era excelente y con mucha variedad. Pub muy amable.

Disfrutamos de una cena almuerzo muy feliz aquí ayer! Somos 4 amigos y elegimos nuestra comida fuera del menú lightbite. Aunque había un montón de patatas fritas con la comida nos pareció un poco de espacio para disfrutar de nuestros deliciosos postres! Yo describiría nuestra comida como patatas fritas caseras porque elegimos huevo jamón y guisantes, pero había una selección completa de las comidas principales para elegir en el menú y las ofertas especiales. Nos encontramos después de menta bajo la servilleta 8 como nos sentamos abajo!! Otro pequeño toque especial. El personal era cálido, amable y disfrutamos de la zona de comedor. En realidad no nos dimos cuenta de la hora de cierre, había pasado ya que nos sentimos muy relajados, pero nadie dijo nada sobre esperándonos para salir! Eran encantadores. El precio parecía muy razonable y sin duda volveremos a este pub. Quizás no fue bastante justo y para describir el estilo que teníamos en nuestra guarnición ensalada de fresa y tanta crema pastelera por nuestra compota de ruibarbo! También fue genial no tener que hacer la colada! Muchos thaks!

He utilizado el Pen y Bryn sobre una base regular, ya que mover a la zona. El pub es perros en el bar y la comida siempre es buena. Tienen un menú Básico pero muchas ofertas que cambian regularmente, lo que da una amplia variedad de comida sana bien preparados. Domingo almuerzo siempre es buena y a un precio razonable y le recomiendo que reserve si desea cenar.

We had heard that this little unassuming pub served good food, so as a last minute get away with friends we tried to book mother's day Sunday lunch unfortunately it was fully booked for lunch time but were offered an evening meal to which we decided to have instead of lunchtime.We arrived at 6pm and had a little wait while a place became available and while we waited were shown what food we could choose from by a lovely jovial lady.The pub is very oldie worldly which was really rare to find these days and so nice, we ordered our food and were advised as we only wanted 2 glasses of wine that perhaps a bottle was going to be a better buy as we could take any remaining wine away with us, the food was superb and really well presented and a little chocolate was placed under our serviettes which was a very nice touch as it was mothers day and on paying our bills when we left us ladies had a little gift of mugs presented to us a lovely surprise, we will definitely return such a lovely homely atmosphere and fabulous staff. Great food at great prices .

To you all, Thank you for such a warm welcome and a very unexpected fun quiz. For such a small looking pub it exploded with atmosphere and warmth once through the door. We wish you all well and hope to see you for a second round when we next visit.From the friends of Margaret Thatcher!!

This is the 3rd time we have visited this place and it just keeps getting better. We went for the first time in October 2016 and vowed that we would revisit again this year. The food is incredible, especially the steak. Also the customer service is brilliant and nothing is ever too much. I would definitely recommend that you visit here and also try the local ale Moho.

We visited this fantastic pub whilst on Holiday in October 2016. We visited the same area again in March 2017 and had to stop at this pub. It's food is always tasty and we'll cooked. I ordered steak and it was the best I had ever tasted. The gentleman who cooks the meals has a great aura about him whilst offering simple but well humoured banter, making you feel welcome. Will definitely visit again!

Great welcome and were very helpful in fitting us in - even though we hadn't booked. They did get the order wrong (choice of beef, pork or turkey). The food was hot and tasty and great value.

A real old country pub. Mine hosts warm and welcoming. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Good varied menu well presented

Excellent food, quick service, very friendly staff and even though it was passed the time the time close before we had finished ,not rushed to go so much so I didn't even know they wanted to close, loved the steak with pepper corn sauce. The price of the food was very reasonable too. Didn't dislike anything

Having stopped for a quick light lunch as we were in a hurry and I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered ham sandwiches with a bowl of chips. A simple dish but very very tasty. The sandwiches packed with delicious fresh boiled ham and a generous and varied salad which made a very pleasant change. The chips were cooked to perfection and plenty of them. I must say that was the nicest pot of tea that I'd had in a long time and much nicer whilst served in a China tea pot. The licencee warm and welcoming. Lovely to see all the old photos and a stunning collection of brewery water jugs. Lovely atmosphere. Thank you.

We decided to try the Pen Y Bryn Arms on recommendation of the house owner where we were staying.I am glad we took our advice.We were welcomed like locals. Treated like royalty, and the food... THE FOOD.Steak to die for, half a chicken that was the size of an Ostrich yet so moist and tasty.It was simple bar food but done exceedingly well. The kids loved their food too!I do recommend that you try the local Ale brewed in Cardigan. I think what really added to the experience is that it is a hub of the community, the proprietors knew everyone who came in, greeted them by name. If you are after good food, good beer and lovely atmosphere (the log fire was welcome ) then I highly recommend this place.

Whilst staying in the area recently my wife and I visited the Pen y Bryn for lunch having been recommended to us by friends.What a lovely quirky little pub. We felt at home as soon as we sat down.We were pleasantly served by the proprietor who was a very jolly chap and entertained us during our visit.We both had well presented and tasty meals and have already made arrangements to return one evening to sample other delights off the menu and chalk board.Well worth a visit as we would missed the chance otherwise

The choice of food is excellent and it arrives very well presented we had the breast of Duck in a plumb and ginger sauce it was excellent.

We went this evening and received a warm welcome. Car parking is the same side as the pub but across a little road. 3 of us had sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce. It was very nice. The peppercorn sauce was lovely - my only criticism was there was such a little bit of it. Plenty of chips, salad, peas do we were definitely not left hungry. Other member in part had trout which he said was fantastic. Really couldn't fault the food. Pudding were just as good. All the food came out piping hot (where it should have been)I really can't fault this lovely little pub. Landlord and lady were very pleasant. Food very good. Pudding yummy. Yes there was the sound of the microwave. And yes our dinners came with salad (with orange) chips and onion rings but so what - at the end of the day it's a pub and they are serving pub meals. Give it a go. X

The full LP clan (like the famous five, 4 people and a dog) were driving to Cardigan from Tenby on the hottest day of the year (33c in the hills) and found this friendly pub with a great beer garden, a lovely couple running it (I don't think he was a local!!), good choice of well kept real ales, plenty of local welsh cider, fresh water for Rosie the border collie, and a great menu. We'd already had a full welsh breakfast earlier, so didn't have space for the food, but another extended family group seemed to be enjoying it!Would definitely visit again.

This is around the seventh time I have been to eat at the Pen y Bryn Arms, and I can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal there. The food always arrives very quickly, it is well presented and more important it is proper home cooked meals. There is ample choice and some good deals on the specials board. They also have a selection of well kept real ales. An excellent pub for some good value meals and always a warm welcome.

Very disappointed, went with friends 11 of us had our food the 12th person had his around 10minutes later. Myself and my partner had curry, rice and chips (or should I say curry sauce rice and chips) very little meat. Cheesecake still frozen, apple pie microwaved to death...........Won't be back!

Great little pub, sitting on the main road between Crymych and Cardigan. Decent real ales, a very good menu (although we only stayed for a drink so cannot comment on the food itself), but have made mental note to try the food next time we visit. Landlord was friendly. Worth supporting little places like this.

We called in here as a party of 4, luckily we had booked a table, we were seated straight away & a drinks order was taken, a few minutes later we ordered our meal this came out very quick it was good quality food a good portion size. The food was beautiful, the setting was perfect, we didn't feel rushed at all. Will definitely be calling in again.

Great food good device nice atmosphereFine dining at a great price well worth a visit whilst on holiday inn in wales

My Dad and I decided to have Steaks,him Sirloin and me Gammon to test out a previous review on here.WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!Superb.My wife had Steak and Kidney pudding,again superb.My companions tonight had puddings but I didn't,again,very clean plates!Jenny the 'Lady of the House' remembered our names,always a nice sign.John 'man about the house'so jovial and has infectious enthusiasm.See you all in May for my next treat.

I stumbled across this little gem purely by accident and I'm glad these type of traditional pubs are still surviving in this economic climate.I was greeted with a warm, friendly welcome by John the owner and although it was close to lunchtime closing he said it would be no trouble to prepare something for me.I opted for a bar meal rather than the traditional menu but I have to say it was delicious and well presented.If you are looking for somewhere to eat that offers good quality food, excellent value for money and a very friendly welcome I would definitely recommend this great little pub.

Well where to start!What a delightful little village pub,with delightful owners.So friendly.We booked Xmas Day lunch and it was so good that we immediately booked Sunday lunch 2 days later!!The tables had place names and a present each.Our names were remembered not just then but on Sunday also.We had never met before Xmas Day.Service was extremely good but not over bearing.THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD on both visits.We shall return here every time I go to my Dads from now on.Thank you so much for such wonderfull treatment.Please don't be put off by negative reviews.Roll on March for our next treat here.

Table for four 3 pan fried steaks ordered what we were looking forward to could not believe my eyes served in a boil which looked like soup runny sauce in a bowl what was ment to be Serlion but think it was stewing steak tough and chewy cost almost £14.00 ahead want be going back there again. Phoned up to complain and owner put the phone down on me just to warn people avoid the food.

Made to feel very welcome,lovely and clean,food well presented and tasty,I really enjoyed the night and the fish in the tank in the lounge .a real village pub

Had Sunday lunch with a group, it was very tasty and boiling hot but the meal was average especially the bought-in puddings. Plenty of parking space.

We found the Penybryn Arms a year ago on a visit to Wales. Twelve months on whilst staying in Cardigan we were surprised to find that Sat Nav took us straight past a familiar pub whilst heading out!A couple of nights later we went for dinner. As I walked through the door I was pleased to see the same landlord behind the bar….a great character and a warm welcome from him and his wife.The menu is wide (and a good numbers of choices for vegetarians). All meals are served with salad (garnish), mushrooms and a BIG bowl of great chips.Be warned portions are very generous. We all struggled with a starter and main. Great quality, good prices and excellent hosts. Here’s to our next trip to Wales.P.S. Very dog friendly too! Our two lads loved the attention and treats!

must be one price for locals & the expensive price for visitors otherwise there wouldn't be any good reviews.every meal served with salad, chips, mushrooms & onion rings ( including a slice of orange & a strawberry ).my lasagne was £11 & halfway through it became inedible with uncooked , hard pasta with little meat in it. ( was also served with a layer of greasy oil on top of the whole dish- side effect of microwaving everything as the regular 'ping' of the microwave resounds around dining room!i can only think that the owner/ 'cook' is taking the mickey out of british people & how we continue to pay silly money for poor food.sadly, very little choice of restaurants around here but my advice would be to travel the extra 3 miles into cardigan & have fish & chips!

Passing by on a rainy day (are there any other days in Wales??) going up north we stoppend here for a bit. Owner was ready to make us a good filter coffe and it was a good one!

We always enjoy a meal out at the Pen Y Bryn Arms. The experience is more akin to visiting family, than eating out. Nothing is too much trouble, and we always leave thoroughly satisfied, full, and having enjoyed the welcome and humour of our hosts. We are fortunate we only live just over a mile away! ;o)

We ate here twice during our weeks stay in Cilgerran. The staff and locals were very welcoming and according to my other half, kept a decent pint. The meals were very good with a variety to choose from. Personally, even if they are microwaved it wouldn't worry me. Taste is far more important. The portions are very generous. Avoid the lemon pudding, you just won't like the light sponge with lots of lemon sauce and creamy custard............!!!!!!!!!!

Not a gourmet meal but classic pub grub. A massive menu choice which suited our differing palates. The portions were large and came quickly. Each had interesting side dishes but I am used to this being bought up in wales - a curry with chips, rice, onion rings and a salad including strawberries. The puddings were equally massive. Great for a night of beer and pub grub.

Very good home cooked food could not fault the place/staff or the food would we recommend definitely yes would we visit again definitely yes and the prices was reasonable for the area unlike other places that think they can charge stupid prices for food all in all a nice place does not look like much outside but very olde worlde inside very happy customers

We came upon this pub on our way through Cilgeran and all looked well from the outside, looked clean and tidy and walked in to find a log fire which was the best thing about this pub. The landlord took our order and after making a hilarious comment that he would see us in two weeks cleared off into the kitchen and seen as though there was only one more couple in the pub and no background music we could clearly here the door on the microwave shut and then here it ping 5 minutes later. (I didn't hear any hand washing taking place between all this either) as he brought the food out he said "I hope its warm enough for you" at first it seemed okay but as i got to the thicker part of the pork shank it was cold in the middle. before i got to this point he had been out again to ask if it was warm enough for a second time. Needless to say i couldn't eat it any more! I would of had more of the salad but the mouldy strawberries on the side didn't make that look too appetising either. You could also tell my partners lasagne had been through the microwave, the pasta was stodgy and chewy. When he came out to collect our plates and noticed we hadn't cleaned up and asked if everything was okay i said mine was cold in the middle and then he said " oh i do worry about that" so basically i had a very bad experience at the Pen Y Bryn Arms and wouldn't recommend it to anyone! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!

Enjoyed a lovely meal here tonight (& a great pint of local beer) with my family who live locally, friendly atmosphere and lovely food - busy little pub for a Thursday evening!! Lots of laughs from our table and also from (I guess) regulars in the bar... owners very attentive - thoroughly enjoyed our evening!!

Just back form an evening meal at Pen Y Bryn Arms. We arrived and were a little worried about being served as it seems that this area closes for food on Tuesday! Anyway we were welcomed and it was not a problem to have food.Great.Looked at the menue and the usual Pubby food was there but the blackboard offers were really different. We opted for the Salmon and Prawn and the Chicken and leek Suet pudding! Dont see these options on a normal bar meal menue.The food arrived and was hot and tasty followed by an enormous dish of chips..All freshly cooked and, yes I am sure there was a microwave in there somewhere but it all tasted so good and fresh. Get down there for a real tasty meal with a great choice of drink
