Visited again tonight, as previously not disappointed. Great food and service with a lovely atmosphere. A real gem of a pub/restaurant. If you’ve not visited, give it a try.

Four of ate here recently. We were impressed by the lovely setting and the ambience of the restaurant. Service was good and friendly. However I have to say that we were a little disappointed by the food. Three of us ordered steak. I asked for a medium rare which was in fact cooked as a medium. The chips were bland and over large. Chips should be crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. These tasted of nothing. My partner had fish and chips and said he'd had better. The sorbet had lumps of ice in. Maybe it was a bad night.

We were stopping locally, so booked for Sunday lunch. We all enjoyed the food immensely, and with the added bonus of a pint of Caffreys on draught for me! We booked again, for a second visit, it was that good! Covid measures well managed too.

Stayed in a holiday let for 2 nights in the area and decided to have dinner here as it was dog friendly and had gluten free options. Thoroughly impressed by the hospitality and excellent service we received. Lovely decor inside and tables laid out to allow social distancing. The menu has loads of great options as well as all allergen info allowing everyone to be catered for easily. Meal was lovely and we decided to come back again the next night to try out different options. We received a warm welcome back and enjoyed our food even more the second night. If you are in the area this is well worth a visit. Thank you Huw, Alex and the team.

Excellent covid safety measures. Visited as a family of 5 for lunch. A member of the family had looked at the old menu and wanted mushrooms for starter. These were not listed on the current menu, but the Chef Delivered! We had a variety of meals and starters and they were all excellent. Food is a higher level than your normal pub grub but prices are comparable. Will definitely return.

We got recommended this Inn by the owner of the holiday cottage we were staying in and it didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly and very attentive and the menu choice was great for our liking and prices were what we expected. The steaks were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Visited on the last night of our holiday which was the only disappointing thing as we would of gone a few times during our time in Wales. A very good meal in a lovely pub/restaurant and was able to bring our dog and a doggy blanket was provided for him to sit, be comfy and to be nosey. Very clean, lovely atmosphere and staff were welcoming. Loved the menu too!

Visited for Sunday lunch and to celebrate our recent engagement. Cannot fault this place! Sunday roast was immense, good portion size, good amount of gravy (which is crucial for my Northern fiance!) and everything cooked to perfection. Dessert was even better if I’m honest. The banoffee rice pudding was delicious and the cherry sorbet that came with the chocolate brownie was the perfect accompaniment. To top it off the service was outstanding, such friendly staff who even moved us to a better seat in the restaurant area just to give us a better view. Cannot recommend this place enough.

This is a popular destination with many recommendations so we went for our first visit for Sunday lunch today. A busy car park and full restaurant was promising - rather downhill from there on. Our table was somewhat on the small side and tucked into a dark corner. I had a view of the road and the village stores opposite whilst my partner had a view of the hoover and a stack of some spare chairs. I had booked via open table so suggest if you do try The Daffodil book directly and request a table overlooking the patio. We asked to be moved but there were no spare tables. The restaurant is ‘dog friendly’ - there were a lot of dogs lounging under tables - don’t visit if you don’t like dogs near your table whilst you dine. The young waitress was friendly and efficient but clearly under pressure with the busy service. We both ordered roast beef - sadly we were not offered an option on the cooking of the beef but perhaps we should have specified that we wanted ours rare. Reviews of The Daffodil praise the food. The classic Sunday lunch had positive features - fresh not overcooked vegetables, decent roast potatoes and well hung beef - not rare sadly. The horseradish sauce was curious - watery and over processed. As pub food goes the experience was OK but this was not a gastro pub experience and certainly not fine dining. If you visit do specify a table and be very proactive about your expectations for your meal. I am sure there were many happy diners at lunch today in other locations in the restaurant - however we did not particularly enjoy our experience so we slipped away quietly.

Went last evening as a group of four. Have been several times over the last few years.Absolutely always have a first class experience. This was the quietest time I have ever been in which was a suprise to me on a friday evening. Anyway, great service, all four great starters great mains and great puds. Drinks also good. Staff superb as always.Pricing reasonable, its our fave place in the area. It is barmy but true to say we bought our house near here earlier this year partly because of this pub that we had visited prior. On a personal note I am looking forward to going when covid is accepted nationwide as a seasonal illness and pubs restaurants can hopefuly go back to being more sociable areas and the bar again used for a casual drink.Love it here.Thanks to the staff again.

We had Sunday lunch here whilst holidaying in the area. On the main road with a good sized car park. As soon as you set foot in the place you felt this was a well run establishment. Friendly welcome and attentive service. Good wine and selection of beers. We both had the beef and it was beautiful. So soft and tasty.Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.

I feel that it is going to be difficult to vocablarise how delicious and enjoyable our time was at the Daffodil.Thank goodness we booked! I was surprised to see how busy it was as this was my first visit so didn't know what to expect. The atmosphere, and decore was superb! Tables were carefully spaced and social distances and disinfecting was a priority! I can say that the service was not only warm but personal, which was commendable. Great choice of Starters and we had the Ultimate Roast which was mouth watering and cooked and presented to perfection. Desserts were also delicious. I cannot recommend this amazing restaurant more highly!!!!

I returned to visiting the experience of eating out recently following the virus closures. For my brother and I , visiting to buy the meal he had promised me pre lock down, there was only one venue we could trust. The Daffodil Inn. I must admit it is always my hostelry of choice anyway, but I needed to be careful , as should we all. I was there for the great burger. good choices available , and brother Pete had a steak. Great quality , value and service were the order of the day. My dog was happy too. I have noticed the car park is always full . We visited during early September. 2021. The only other local venue of any is still closed. Has been for a while so really , to my mind the Daffodil provides everything I look for on any occasion . Highly recommended. A really classy welcoming environment.

If you’re still concerned about eating out or have any doubts about continuity in cleaning after, each service, then this is the restaurant for you. Attention to hygiene and COVID preventative measures are excellent!We both ate an excellent roasts, packed with flavour and a healthy selection of well cooked vegetables.Toilet facilities were the best I’ve seen in a pub. Great to chat to the owner, too who comes from a small town near us in Surrey! Thank you!

Ate here at lunchtime. The place wasn't full & people were turning up without booking and getting a table. Very Covid aware with quite a long wait before we were let in & shown our booked table. The menu was interesting & perhaps sometimes overly adventurous. I had crispy belly pork as a starter which was small but enjoyable; my husband had prawns in a banana sauce which he did not enjoy at all. Luckily neither of us fancied the more exotic item on the main menu so settled for steak (for him) and ham & eggs (for me). The steak was the best he had ever eaten in a restaurant, while the ham was a very generous serving but with slightly overcooked eggs. I had poached pear to finish which wasn't as flavoursome as the ingredients on the menu indicated. Service was pretty slow, lunch took 2 hours.

We had an absolutely fabulous meal at the Daffodil. We were made to feel incredibly welcome when we arrived and were shown to our table. It was a bit of a drizzly evening but the view through on to the balcony and the hills beyond was absolutely stunning. It would be good to come back on a sunny afternoon and sit out on the terrace.The food was delicious and I would thoroughly recommend the tofu stir fry - the combination of flavours worked perfectly and it was great to have something different. Although the main was an easy choice for me, everything on the menu looked amazing.The whole menu, including drinks menu, was well designed and had enough variety to suit everyone. The atmosphere was relaxed and it just felt like a really positive and nice place to be. The front of house team did a great job and service was very efficient and friendly.Couldn't recommend highly enough - we will definitely be back.

We came here whilst staying at a near by glamping site. We had our dog with us too so needed somewhere dog friendly, and The Daffodil was just that. We had the meaty sharing starter which was just delicious. I had the fish and chips for my main which was just so fresh and piping hot. My other half had the lamb tagine which I'm told was also delicious. We tried some various Welsh Ales recommended by the bar man which were amazing and even ordered a couple of cans to take home with us. We have booked to come again when we come back at New Year.

We were looking for somewhere nice to eat as we were in the area for a week, and somebody suggested the daffodil. We called to book for the following evening and we managed to bag the last table. I’m so glad we were put onto this amazing restaurant because it was the nicest food we’d eaten all week, actually it’s the nicest place I’ve been to in a very long time! The decor is really beautiful and super cool, they were really friendly and all of the people working there made us feel welcome. My partner was buzzing that they had his favourite drink as it’s not sold everywhere so that was a bonus before we even got to the menu! Obviously we’d already perved at the menu all day and thought we’d decided what we were going to order, and obviously we had to stew over it again because everything looked so delicious and what if we pick the wrong thing!! Anyway, we (obviously) ordered what we’d originally planned on having and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I’m not a review type of person, but I feel like everyone should visit this restaurant if they’re in the area because you’ll come away from it so happy and not even wanting a before bed snack in case it ruins the taste memory I will definitely be back, the whole experience was 10/10. Not just great food, which of course is what you want, but the whole experience as soon as you walk though the door is pretty magical. I’ve been dreaming of that braised beef cheek ever since!!I forgot to take pics, only the 2 mains. Sorry but it was so good I forgot

While holidaying in the area we saw the reviews for this place and we booked for a Wednesday evening and while I was on the website I thought I'd book the Friday as well. Very Covid-19 safe & a lovely welcome from the front of house staff who were very informative of everything & said that there is now a new menu. The curried sweet potato & coconut soup was amazing & the beef cheeks just melt in the mouth. It no longer comes with mash & onion rings but now comes with beef dripping roast potatoes & as I've never tried the latter I think it would have been my preferred choice or even a horseradish or leek mash. Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed it nevertheless. My wife had the Halloumi burger & really enjoyed it. The black forest brownie with raspberry sorbet was amazing & my wife was shocked that I ordered it as I don't usually go for a chocolate based pudding I'm normally a traditional pudding person & the sticky toffee pudding would have been my first choice but I wanted something sharp & the raspberry sorbet really hit the spot (anyway I can have the sticky toffee on Friday when we return). My wife had the Affogato & she said it was the best one she'd had. The portions aren't huge & that's due to quality and not quantity & although I'm a big eater we both left feeling full & not uncomfortable. Really looking forward to returning Friday where we both try something different although I may just have to have the soup again it was that good.

We have just had the most disappointing experience at the daffodil. We went expecting a treat going by the website and other reviews. How wrong we were! After being told it was a set Sunday menu we were presented with a very basic choice of fayre. We opted for the ultimate roast which had been ultimately microwaved and not very thoroughly! The music was more fitting for a club! to add insult to injury we were charged for a double gin that I did not ask for! If you go thinking the food is going to look like it does on the photos, big mistake! We now have coasters in the shape of Yorkshire puddings and the dog enjoyed the rest of it but we will l not return!

Really nice to find a place so welcoming of dogs. The food here was lovely very tasty and well cooked. Really appreciated them helping us book when they were actually closed . Friendly waitresses and they knew everything about the menu by heart. Our table had 4 streaks and a burger. There was not a thing left on the plates. We also had drinks and 2 desserts. The bill was £150 and i have to say for the stuff we had i was pleasantly surprised. Really recommend this place seems to have something to suit everyone.

After talking to the owner last night about the tough times they have had during COVID I can only encourage people to get booked up there and let’s support them. This is probably my favourite pub in the whole of the country and can’t wait to visit again. 5 stars every time from me!

Food was great. Table was too small for a family of 3. Sadly the Sunday lunch was short on vegetables which was a shame (in my opinion priced at the high end of the market). However the biggest reason for the rating was the dogs. We are not dog lovers. At one point there were three dogs barking loudly. Now if you like dogs then that is fine but if you don’t it puts a downer on the event which it did for us. When we got the bill we found that we had been charged an extra £2 per head for a Yorkshire Pudding and Stuffing which had been offered to us but no mention that this would be an additional charge (not on the menu as extras either).

Booked for 2.15 pm, friendly helpful staff but not very knowledgeable but quickly found out to answer questions, several staff served us, would have been better if just one looked after us.We asked if we could have Yorkshire pudding and stuffing with one meal, we was asked if we all wanted the same, I said yes but no stuffing to which my daughter said she would have mine, when we got the bill they were all charged extra which was quite a shock, as they was not that brilliant and at no time was we told it was going to cost us £1 for each extra item.The roast potatoes were hard and seemed like they had been cooked for the opening of the day and stayed on the hot plate for the next couple of hours.My Grandson had the burger meal with chips which were cold not even luke warm, when we pointed this out the waiter said he would warm up in the microwave, they came back hard.Worst £125.00 ever spent.Looking at the reviews which are all good I can only assume they were having a bad day and the chef had finished for the day.For such a nice place with plenty of staff would never go there again.

Visited Friday 13th August 2021 3 adults and 2 children. Service was a little slow as we arrived at 5.30pm, and we must have had about 3 members of staff visit our table, but no one took any orders from us. Eventually we ordered 2 x cheeseburgers, confit chicken thighs with chimmichurri sauce, 10oz sirloin & beef fillet stroganoff. Plus a drinks order, which did arrive. A little later the food arrived and everything looked good. I ate a little of my steak and thought, that's a little cold! Ate a mushroom and that was stone cold! My plate was cold too. I mentioned it in our group and the chicken was cold too! Managed to get someone's attention and explained to them and they were quick to apologise and take it away. The restaurant manager popped over and said that the steak would have been rested and would have been at room temperature. To which I did reply and say that there was not temperature to the steak and the mushrooms were stone cold too and as for the chicken, well......The staff suddenly became tentative! And our new meals returned. The chicken was better and the steak came on a warm plate. The steak was not the best cut, very hard to chew, in fact the last 4 mouthfuls were the best. But I ate it, because I was hungry. Our boys had the sticky toffee pudding, cookies and ice cream, and we had a coffee. Paid for the bill and left at 8.10pm So, would we recommend it? Not sure, possibly we were the unlucky ones and we had the rough steak!The other thing was that on the main menu there was an awful lot of items that were missing, due to no delivery or something. So would it have been easier to just print a new menu, with what was available and incorporate the specials, I think soo...The setting and the ambiance was great at The Daffodil, just the food didn't make it for us, sorry Daffodil...

We read the Trip advisor reviews and couldn’t wait to eat here, we were staying in New Quay and wanted to venture out to try somewhere new. The menu looked great, reviews looked great so we booked a day in advance.We arrived and it was the usual COVID speech of masks on if going to the bar or the loo etc, and that was fine, we were seated at the back of the restaurant in a corner and waited for our server. We were greeted by a polite young lady and asked about drinks and specials, she informed us she was very new to the job, but did her best. My partner ordered a Wine spritzer with lemonade and I asked for a beer, out of their craft selection, the young lady informed us she wasn’t sure how to put a spritzer through and she wasn’t sure about the beers so would get her colleague to come and let us know what was on the menu. After about 5 mins she came back and said they had a small selection of craft beers and offered the types they had, i made a request and she was unsure so i went to the bar to order it. After another 5 mins our drinks were brought to us, and the spritzer my partner ordered was wrong, so that went back to bar and again we waited another 5 mins for this to be brought to us, in which time our starters arrived.Mine was the Pork cheek with celeriac and my partner ordered the Lamb. Both were well presented if not for them being slightly small, the pork cheek was over cooked and battered in bread crumbs which was not expected, the lamb however was slightly over cooked but very tasty.NOW- for our main, we ordered the fish platter- which was sold to us as a pretty amazing selection of fish and seafood with a salad and a few other bits, and sadly this could not have been more wrong.What we got was a confusing mix of hot and cold food piled onto a dinner plate, with two shot glasses filled with a blended concoction of scallop and squid…this was hot and salty and very fishy, the salmon and smoked mackerel was cold, the sole and squid rings were hot. It was all served sitting on top of microwaved new potatoes,carrots and parsnips, with watercress and a salad of lettuce,raw courgette and mixed peppers…along with a small helping of tartar sauce. After splitting the dish between us ( its a sharing platter) we were left with the equivalent of a small fish starter that really did not have much range, it seems that the chef is trying to offer a gourmet style dish but falling very short. My partner was very excited initially about the seafood platter but halfway through could not eat it. We left the majority of it on our plates, paid our bill and left, very disappointed and still very hungry, my partner once back at home was also unwell.I understand the hospitality sector has taken a massive hit over the last year and things are slowly getting back to some sort of normal, but i have to say this is one of the worst experiences we have had, both in terms of the service and the food.

The restaurant is quite unassuming from the outside being in a very small village, however on the inside it is spacious and well laid out with thought given to social distancing. The serving staff were pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu particularly given dietary requirements. We were seated quickly despite a requested table change and drinks arrived promptly. The food itself although a little slow to arrive was very tasty and portions adequate. Again throughout the meal the serving staff were attentive but not intrusive whilst we were eating. All in all a very enjoyable dining experience - steaks cooked to exact personal preference!

A fantastic restaurant with conscientious, professional staff and amazing food. It is definitely a must to book in advance as it is clearly popular and with social distancing, they do not have the indoor capacity that they would usually have. The restaurant was well presented and clean and tables were well spaced. We had what is described as 'counter seating' but were more than happy with our higher table and bar stools with backs.The restaurant clearly takes pride in the quality of their food and we were impressed by our meals. My husband had one of the steak options and I had the beef cheek which was incredibly tender. The dessert options were also excellent and all the food was presented beautifully. The staff clearly have a good understanding of allergies and dietary requirements and checked with me about one item as I have a nut allergy. In the conversation, the member of staff explained that they prepare food for people with allergies in a separate area of the kitchen and he also commented on understanding the difference between a gluten intolerance and coeliac disease - this attitude impressed me.Everything about our experience would make us recommend The Daffodil to others and we would gladly return regularly if it wasn't over 200 miles from home!

The 4 of us had fantastic food, there was nothing we could fault with the food and drinks. However the waiting staff didn’t appear to communicate well, as when we arrived we ordered our drinks with one member of staff, and within 5 mins we were asked if we’d like any drinks by 2 different members of staff. This was a theme throughout the evening. But overall, an enjoyable evening.

Went here for what would be our first wedding anniversary meal, had one fluffy pup in toe. Upon arrival we were made to feel very welcome. Staff very attentive serving Leo a nice bowl of water firstChose this restaurant due to the reviews and gluten free options. Recently discovered I’m gluten intolerant and find eating out a nightmare well not here! Normally I’d go for food I don’t have often at home. Sounds boring but I’ve really been missing basic fish and chips. Went for beer battered sea bass - amazing batter crispy & wouldn’t have known it was gluten free. The true test - a lot of gluten free alternatives end up soggy, chewy or dry. Desert well it had to be cheese cake and no photos it didn’t hang around long enough! All washed down with G&T. Hubby went for steak cooked to perfection matched his preferences medium rare. Pooch got lucky with a few chips for good behaviour :)Staff were busy still well organised and we never waited long for drinks / food. Well worth a visit if your in the area

A gastronomic pub that really deserves its Michelin Award. After a happy week self-catering in Ceredigion we treated ourselves to a night out at the Daffodil: Scallops / Smoked Duck and Baked Tofu were our starters - really melt in the mouth. For our main course we shared the fish platter for two and had the pork tenderloin- both very good. The squid rings particularly melt in the mouth. The Lemmon posset special dessert was both refreshing and rich and creamy.Wine list short but all we tried were very good. All in all managed to be both a relaxing setting and top quality food.

Finding somewhere we can all eat out as a family can be a challenge as my son is coeliac and menu choices are at best limited and at worst non-existent. However The Daffodil had a great choice which actually left him struggling to decide what to have and believe me, those of you in our situation, will vouch that that is a very rare occurrance! (He went with the sourdough starter with oil and balsamic dip followed by the cranberry burger topped with brie and bacon, fries and an apple and vegetable slaw by the way). The staff/owner were also very knowledgable and accommodating. We visited in the evening and were seated near the open bi-fold doors over-looking the terrace. The food was absolutely delicious, well cooked and beautifully presented. It was also very good value for money. We would definitely recommend a visit and we'll be back next time we're in the area.

We visited the Daffodil Inn while on holiday in Wales. We phoned to check if they welcomed dogs and was told they loved dogs. The venue is beautiful, clean and very friendly. The staff were incredibly knowledge about the menu and nothing was too much hassle. The food was beautiful. Well cooked and very tasty. Great choice of food on the menu. Our dog loved it, got fussed over by staff and other customers. If you on west Wales I would recommend visiting. It’s well worth a visit!!

The food was delicious (Beef Cheek superb) and my wife enjoyed the Hake. Sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream to finish was very good too. Their guest pilsner from local provider hit the spot as well. We did book for the following night to take our 2 daughters but unfortunately we had to cancel. Will definitely visit again when we are next down in west Wales.

Went for an anniversary lunch here on a day trip to West Wales. When booking asked for a nice table, the request was granted and we were sat overlooking perfect views. The staff were lovely and the food excellent. We both had three courses and finished with a lovely Irish coffee. Proper cream not squirty foam!They have a lovely outside seating area but we were happy to sit inside as the weather wasn’t glorious. We weren’t rushed at all. Will definitely be returning, hopefully on a sunny day and enjoy the outside views. Carried on to New Quay, had a lovely afternoon and the sun shone through. Highly recommended but I would say book in advance to avoid disappointment.

We went to the daffodil after finding it online and reading some of the reviews. We had been searching g for a decent restaurant all week. Wow we really found one. From the moment we arrived we felt COVID safe being met at the door and directed to our table after a COVID briefing on the rules. The decor was lovely and very relaxing from the start. Once seated we were quickly attended to and throughout our visit all the staff were friendly, making us feel welcome. There was a good selection of drinks with a guest pale ale, which I had a pint of, in fact I had 2. The Sunday menu was very good with lots of choice. After we made our choice we were served quickly and the food was excellent. Starters we had humous and I had squid and chorizo salad. Mains, lamb and I had pork belly. Everything was superb, good quality food well cooked and very tasty. We decided to have a sweet, which again was beautiful. All in all it was a terrific dining experience with terrific staff, beautiful surroundings and above all superb food all at we considered a reasonable price for the experience.

We were recommended to visit the Daffodil Inn and it did not disappoint! Upon arrival we requested outdoor seating as we have a puppy so not wanting to disturb the other customers thought outdoors is better, we were welcomed and guided to a lovely covered seating area. Service was fast and efficient. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We liked it that much we rebooked for lunch another day which again they were more than accommodating on short notice.

I cant say enough good things about this place. Firstly their covid precautions are second to none, a one way system, being met at the door, plenty of space. Secondly the welcome for our two dogs, they were made such a fuss of, were provided with a blanket and water and we were sat in a quiet area. The staff were excellent, our waitress Emma was very friendly and attentive as were the drinks waitress and the waiter who talked us through the menu and took our food order. Although there were some dishes not available (due I think to supply issues in this difficult time) because there were so many things on the menu we wanted to try this wasn't an issue. The food itself was delicious and £60 for 2 people, 3 course including drinks extremely reasonable. Highly recommend this place and cant wait to go back!

Nice varied menu including vegan, meat and fish options, beautifully presented and cooked. Total bill for three adults including starters, main course, non-alcoholic drinks & deserts for two was just over £60. Will happily return. Decor was fresh and attractive, nice to be able to see through to the kitchen for those who like to do that. Top quality, & family owned too.

Where we sat was quite dark and away from it all. In hindsight would have been happier where there was more light, and atmosphere, 4 small tables behind a half wall by the kitchen. But probably due to COVID restrictions we were put in the corner, couldn’t see anything that was going on. When we were leaving we had a look around, and saw plenty of bright airy seating, where there were couples seated, so tables for 2 were available, what a shame. The fish was lovely as were the chips, but the pea purée was disappointing in quantity, a pity really, because it is one of the cheaper food items to prepare.The chicken thighs were ample, brushed with a red chilli sauce, but because they were small they dried up as they cooled, and were tasteless.I was expecting a chimichurri sauce, which is normally fresh herbs, garlic, chilli and some oil. This is the reason I ordered this meal, and everywhere else I have ordered this sauce, I have never had a smooth red chilli sauce, tasted very similar to a hot chilli sauce I have at home, from a bottle, I don’t think it was fresh. Due to lack of moisture on this dish, I was left disappointed, again the chips were lovely and ample. I didn’t complain because we were away from everyone, and we could draw attention to ourselves. When the waitress came to check , we were half way through, and it seemed churlish to complain, so we decided to finish the meal.So just the 2 sauces left you down, and location of seating.

Without saying too much, we visited twice within one week. The first time, during the week, straight after coming out if lockdown. The host made us aware of completely new serving staff due to the pandemic however, in my experience this wasn't necessary we I would never have known.The food was phenomenal, the duck salad was so good I had it twice. On the second visit we were lucky enough to experience their Sunday roast. The food was succulent, moist and the Yorkshire pudding had the right crisp. The veg flavourful and succulentUpon pondering dessert we were already planning our next trip. My first experience of sticky toffee pudding has set the bar high!!! Thank you Doffodil for a wonderful experience.

We booked a table at The Daffodil on recommendations from our rental cottage hosts (Brechfa Forest Barns). We were not disappointed. The staff were so accommodating of us and our two dogs (we had not given notice of the dogs as our initial plan was to leave them in the car). However a suitable table was found when we said we had dogs, a blanket provided for them to lay on and some dog treats. This enabled us to fully relax and enjoy our superb food. Really couldn’t fault the staff at all, they explained the menu fully and gave recommendations - even though I was rather boring and went for the fish and chips in the end (which was one of the best pieces of haddock I’ve ever had). We will definitely be back when we return to the area to sample more of the menu. Thank you guys! Sorry didn’t get any pics of the food as I was too busy eating it but the photo shows how they were so accommodating of our furry friends.

Partners food contained a different ingredient than stated -spelt instead of fregola not a major issue but again surly should be rectified on either the menu or when stocking the kitchen?
