This pub first came to my attention via a book called 1001 Great Family Pubs (Automobile…read moreAssociation). The guide book mentioned that not only was it an ancient thatched free house but had its own micro brewery too. I too am a member of CAMRA (Carmarthenshire Branch) and a beer taster/tester for the Evan Evans brewery plus a regular attendant of food and beer festivals in the area, so with that premise I decided to investigate the White Hart further via their website and a recent visit to them. The White Hart is located near to Carmarthen itself & very close to the Botanical Garden of Wales. The pub itself is a traditional 600 year old thatched cottage with thick stone walls and heavy beams plus a converted barn restaurant. The interior is very cosy and full of antiques and a large log fire. The inside is strewn with farming implements, mugs, tankards, old fashioned photos, local scenes, stag antler hat rack, a suit of armour, horse brasses, medieval/gothic looking benches & chairs, so much paraphernalia the place is a museum unto itself. There is even a tropical fish tank and a grey & pink parakeet/parrot in one passageway, but I digress. Let's start with the beer & food. The Coles family that own the pub brew several beers & ciders inc. beetroot ale, liquorice stout, nettle ale, golden ale, Merlin Stout, Cwrw Blasus (bitter), brown ale, Llandarog ale etc. (Maybe even a black lager in the future too. !). All cask beers are brewed locally, in addition to the traditional ingredients of barley, hops and yeast they use their very own water from a well 300 ft under the White Hart, it is a hard water so it gives the beer a bit of bite/substance (in a good way). You have the option at the bar of having a third of a pint beer taster too. As for food there are a range of snacks, sandwiches, bar meals, roast dinners & daytime specials. Dishes such as duck in orange sauce, swordfish, Welsh lamb chops, Black Beef steaks, cod, lava bread, various pies. On my own visit I have a lamb and apricot pie with chips and peas (really nice). Bar meals/grills are around the £10-£15 mark and the bar snacks like jacket potatoes, sandwiches are about a fiver, this may seem a little pricey but then the meal portions are large and you have local produce too. Speaking of which The Coles family have farm too and sell their local free range eggs, jams & chutneys over the bar to take away plus you can but ale gift packs too from the small shop corner of the pub which showcases the range of bottled ales. The pub also boasts a patio garden & children's play area too. The kitchen is open plan also so you can actually see your food being cooked as well. Pre-booked coaches and parties are welcome also. I found the place very welcoming, the hospitality & service was good, fairly quick being served and table cleared away regularly. The bar man does know his beer and the licensing trade inside out as I tested him with my own meagre knowledge as a CAMRA member & Evan Evans beer taster. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, it is a hidden gem and one of Wales' best kept secrets. Go and discover it for yourselves and see if you agree.

It posseses open fireplaces, and a choice of cozy tables for 2 or 4, and long tables for larger parties in the back. HRH Prince Charles, Dylan Thomas have both visited here, to sample the beer still brewed on the premesis. The food is pricey, but what a meal you get for your money! A huge plateful that would be enough for two! the most reasonable is the Roast dinners, approx £10 a head. The walls and ceilings of the Inn are covered in memorobilia, from horse brasses to farming tolls, there is enough to occupy your mind while you wait for your meal. On your way to the loo you will encounter a full suit of armour, and in the back are fish tanks, and a talking parrot!

Worth the pilgrimage if you're near by; easily reached from Tenby. We found it to be very friendly, quite busy with locals and dogs and with a fantasticly warming real fire.

The food is up to a reasonable standard and the menu is pretty standard pub fare with the usual grills, a few pasta and curry dishes. Sit outside and take in some great views. Cons: As it's off the beaten track either someone has to drive or it's a very expensive taxi trip. The decor could do with freshening up snd sitting outside hasn't been the same since the smoking ban as you have to look at the view through a cigarette smog - but that's the price of having the inside as fresh as a daisy!

Everyone enjoyed their meal no one had to wait for their meal despite it being a busy evening. The views are spectacular around the Amman Valley, day or night the views are great. It may be a bit of a climb but its well worth it. A family run pub with a family atmosphere. There is also a salad bar so you can snack while you wait. although no one did on our family meal, we have on previous occasions had a 'free' starter. Just a note to say on the Google map the red marker is in the wrong place. Follow Masequare road down the page where it goes yellow all the way and you will find 'the Scotch Pine' is signposted on the map When actually driving there it is at the top of the mountain, hence the great views The road itself continues over the mountain.

The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear.

The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.
