Best avoided. Drink selection is poor, food took ages, bar room was freezing, food arrived luke warm.

Booked for Christmas dinner, tables not laid out nicely, no crackers, waited over 30 mins for starters and another 45 mins before mains arrived. Half the vegetables were on the plate and the rest in tureens. Had to ask for serving spoons. Food was cold, stuffing a hard ball, cauliflower still raw, some vegetables were mushy. Asked for spoons for dessert and waitress dumps a load of spoons next to one person to distribute. Two of the spoons were teaspoons. The place itself is cold in temperature and ambience. Food was cold. Serving staff need training.

Lovely and homely ambience, with such courteous service & nice food. Enjoyed the Sunday roast, with family and friends, and a nice long, relaxed lunchtime.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas food, all starters, mains and desserts were excellent. Great presentation and very tasty, I had the turkey and trimmings and the Baileys cheesecake, have no complaints. The staff were attentive and very friendly, thank you.

The food was cold and the chef very unhygienic, he picked up the turkey with his fingers and placed it on my plate. I complained to be told he didn’t have a fork???.

It's a bit off the beaten track.An old pub with what must have been, before covid, a decent restaurant. It now stands a bit lost and though not run down, feels like it needs some TLC and some fresh customers.It's lacking a bit of pizzazz and the menu has been cut right back, see photographs.But the staff are friendly and trying their best with a hard location.It pulls a decent pint, it is comfortable and from a very cut-back menu, see photographs, the food is good.The staff are doing a great job. So if your in the area, pop in, sit down and enjoy some good pub grub.Well done the whole team running this pub restaurant and doing a great job in the place, you are doing good job ??.

This is a traditional pub / restaurant on the main street of a Welsh village near Carmarthen.When we visited it was very quiet, but the hospitality was warm and genuine, the menu was much reduced from that shown on the internet, but the food available was very tasty, well prepared, good portion size and well presented, and the price was very reasonable.Drink prices are again very reasonable.The staff were very friendly and professional.There is not that much parking available except on the quiet main street.We were only here once on holiday for an evening meal and this is a great wee place it just needs more customers, if you are in the area do visit you will probably be surprised and not disappointingParking: Parking is mainly on the quiet village mainstreet

We had a lovely meal at this pub while staying in the area: traditional burger and veggie burger. Both were perfect. Very happy with our choice.

I booked a table for tonight for 6 of us to celebrate a 60th birthday. The menu that is available to view on the website was not what we were presented with. The menu on the website offered lasagne, fish and seasonal pie but none of these were on the menu. Everyone in the party was disappointed as they had decided beforehand what they were going to order. We had to then select from what was available which wasn’t to everyone’s taste. Very disappointing

Excellent. Very good food, very welcoming and comfortable for a family of very weary travellers. Can’t say much more. Well worth a visit
The food was presented well enough, but nothing like the photo's depicting the dishes. Whilst being handed the menu's, we were told "we haven't got this, there's no pizza's and none of that either". The cutlery was just left on the far end of the table and no condiments were provided either.I know it's a pub and they're updating their menu's but we did expect an experience that was a bit more 'put together' ?

Steak and chips with panko onion rings. Best chips I've had I a pub. Great service from the lovely young woman who took care of us.

Sunday dinner was delicious. We were the last table of the table and so they had run out of any starters and had no other choice but chicken but it didn't matter as portions are big and we were all happy to eat chicken rather than the beef ordered. Next time we will arrive earlier ?Bar and waiting staff were lovely and friendly

Black Ox has lovely customer service. Very lovely. Had a take away dinner and it was awful. Ordered two kids and two adult, was basically like having 4 kids portions. My nephew then found blood in his chicken. Was just disgusting if I’m honest.
