In addition it felt very much like an old authentic pub inside. We visited on a Monday during their 'steak supper night' which is a terrific deal. "A couple of prime rump steaks cooked just how you like them with a peppercorn sauce, hand cut chips and garnish and a bottle of our Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc or Merlot Rosé wine for just £25". The steaks were cooked perfectly and the servers were attentive, prompt and polite. I also recommend the bread and olive appetizer. The bread had the most delicate and tender yet dense crumb and the butter was the perfect salty compliment. Cons/Suggestions: None, currently.

It is a lovely place, nice and cosy on the inside and a nice patio outside where I have enjoyed my drinks. They have a nice selection of wine and ales. My tip: if you want to have dinner here, book well in advance.

The Old Cross Inn is a traditional family pub situated in the centre of Ammanford in…read moreCarmarthenshire. It has a good reputtaion for its carveries and all the food is home made. It offers a range of Brains beers plus other well known brands incl. wines & spirits. Food wise the pub does everything from breakfasts, carveries, baguettes, steaks/grills plus a whole host of other bar meals on their normal menu. All of which seems to be reasonably priced around the five pound mark (incl. carvery but except steaks) plus there are 2 for 1 deals also. I visited recently with my parents. I had an excellent chicken madras, whilst my mother had a stilton & broccoli bake (good vegetarian menu too) plus my father had a turkey & ham pie. Just to give you an indication of the food on offer. The pubs is very warm & friendly. The service is quick & excellent. I understand too that they have live events with music on the weekend also. Can highly recommend the pub & is well worth checking out if you are in that part of Wales.

I've been a local regular to this pub for a number of years. The ownership has recently changed and…read moresince the food is still very good I feel sad that I no longer feel welcome. I have just experienced the worst possible customer service and I am still in shock at how I have been treated. I arrived a few minutes before 12, another local regular was before me and opened the door. A member of staff came to the door and told us that since it was 11:55 we had to wait outside until they open. Both myself and the person in front of me have walking aids and clearly have disabilities. When they let us inside I explained that I was not happy that they had made two people with disabilities wait standing outside, as it is painful to stand and I felt they could have let us come in and sit down on the chairs by the door until they were ready for service (i.e. the pubs inside waiting area). The lady apologised and said she would take this on board. I excepted her apology but asked if I could talk to the manager. I wanted to talk to the manager as I felt it was important for the establishment to understand the need to make adaptations for disabled people and so wanted an assurance from management that they would let people with disabilities sit in the waiting area. She showed me the manager and I approached him and explained that the people told to wait had disabilities and that they should have let us sit down by the door to wait. The manger completely blanked me, he completely ignored me as I was talking to him, he did not say a word and acted like I was invisible. The poor waitress had to come over and tell me that she would pass on the message to the owner and sat us down at our table. I could not believe how badly I had been treated by the manager. When the manger came over to take payment from me I told him that I was unhappy with the way he had treated me, that he should not have ignored me and should have responded to me when I spoke to him. He rolled his eyes at me then smirked at me and said "what are you talking about you never came over to talk to me" and walked off. The owner then came out and apologised and offered us a free meal next time we visit, but I did not complain in order to get free food so I explained that the behaviour of the manager was not acceptable and therefore it should be the manager that apologises to me. He eventually came over to me, rolled his eyes, smirked at me and in a very unprofessional and antagonistic tone said "sorry but I did not have to deal with you because the woman at the desk was dealing with you". He stated arguing with me, at which point I decided to leave as I did not want an argument. There was no professionalism and his conduct fell very short from what is expected in hospitality. The reason for me wanting to talk to the manger was not to get the waitress into trouble, I just wanted the mangers to understand the impact of not allowing people with disabilities to sit down whilst waiting a few minutes for service to start, as something like that has a big impact on disabled people and the previous owners always used to let us wait inside. Incidentally the manger put a bottle of wine and two beers that I had not ordered on my bill a few weeks ago and he did not apologise for that at the time either, he just walked away without talking to me and got others to deal with it. Treating customers like this is not acceptable, I was not difficult or rude to anyone, I was polite and well mannered, did not raise my voice and was raising a legitimate concern. I payed my bill in full, I was not trying to get money off or a free meal, first I just wanted the establishment to have more disability awareness and then after the conduct of the manager I wanted an apology for the shocking way he treated me. Although the food is good, it's not acceptable to be treated this way, I felt that his behaviour towards me was aggressive and unprofessional, I'm still in shock that this has happened

Hungry, we drove a few hours in the hopes of savoring this deliciousness. We arrived Saturday night at 9, after a long drive, only to learn they stopped cooking at 8. A huge disappointment to say the least. Hungry and tired we wondered what to do. That's when the special happened. The bartender was so kind. Great Welsh beer and cider and plenty of warm, genuine smiles. Plus it was karaoke night and the pub was filled with wonderful, friendly (and TALENTED) locals who made us feel so welcome. One lady brought her delicious homemade cakes and brownies to share! They all sang us a beautiful Welsh folk song as a farewell. It was sad to leave. Thank you, kind people of Mawdlam! We will never forget you. TAN TRO NESA!

The place is well run, and has its fair share of interesting locals, though you feel as though it was once a place with a lot more character.
