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!

On a warmer day we might have enjoyed sitting outside in their quaint little beer garden, but it was the perfect moment to bag a table by the fire. Top marks for a menu that takes vegetarians seriously and gives us plenty of tasty options and glowing praise too for the steaks that were cooked to perfection and for the excellent the cod & chips in Dougs special batter. OK the ladies loos had seen very much better days, but I'll gloss over the details since everything else was terrific.

Quite nice pub, with an unsurprising but pleasant menu ( think local seafood , beef, ice cream,…read moreetc). Think c. £12-15 for a main. Very pleasant view from the little used terrace. Staff are a bit offish, surprisingly for this part of the world, but The Swan also suffers a bit from the common local afflictions of slowish service and a mania for booking ( here's a clue- if you turn tables faster, you get more use out of them and they needn't be unused for an hour before they're needed).

Welsh pub of the year? The only reason I can fathom that The Swan was awarded this accolade was…read morethat the competition organisers forgot to tell any other pubs there was an award in the first place. It's not terrible by any means, but if you're going to plaster 'Pub Of The Year' (hereafter referred to as POTY) over everything, it makes you think you're in for something special, and you're annoyed when it's anything short of amazing. The decor in the restaurant was a bit 'Changing Rooms'. I imagine Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen had a jolly old time painting the plum-coloured feature wall, complimented by the light fitting that looks like an enormous crushed up ball of tinfoil. Unless you're sitting in one of two tables next to the windows, good luck seeing that 'amazing view'. We both ordered the same cocktail of smoked salmon, crab and crayfish tails - when it arrived, although well presented, it was lacking any crab whatsoever, with no explanation from the waitress. We didn't complain, since it looked like we got double the amount of smoked salmon, which was good quality and tasty, so, meh. It's just that I'd expect the POTY to at least inform you of this before it's served to you, to check if that's ok. Grey mullet on sweet potato mash was well cooked, but the mash was slightly too buttery, and the radishes added little other than a cursory crunchy texture. The shark steak was odd, with a sort of jelly-like, buttery texture, but the chips that accompanied it were light and crispy. Sticky toffee pudding was fine. I asked for a scoop of ice cream with mine (I would always serve STP with it) but the presentation wasn't what you'd expect from the POTY. I'm a fatso bum and ate it before I remembered to take a picture, so you'll have to believe me on this one. Staff were courteous and friendly, and our bill came to £65 for 3 courses each and one beer. We had ordered a glass of wine and a beer in the bar downstairs whilst we waited for our table, but they weren't included on the bill. I took this as a sign that they were complimentary, since they didn't have our table ready, but I wasn't hanging around to find out... NOTES: Sunday lunch looked decent value at £20 for three courses. A la carte was a bit more expensive, at about £30 for three courses. A couple of the specials had sold out by 7.30pm. If you do go, be clear about where you'd like to sit - there was a bit of confusion over our table booking for Sunday night. There's the restaurant upstairs and the pub downstairs. Clarify, because the staff might not.
