££Traditional British
This well-regarded country pub sits on an old drovers’ road and is run by an experienced team. Sit downstairs and admire the tin tiles on the ceiling while supping a locally brewed ale, before tucking into unpretentious dishes like fish soup and crispy belly pork. Confidently prepared local ingredients feature heavily, and the cooking is both hearty and wholly satisfying.

Y Polyn in Llanddarog offers traditional British cuisine with a strong reputation for high food quality, featuring dishes like crab tagliatelle and risotto. While most praise the generous portions and taste, some recent reviews note inconsistencies in meal quality. Service is generally warm and accommodating, handling walk-ins and large groups well, though isolated complaints mention poor staff coordination. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, retaining a charming, small-scale feel. Value perceptions vary; while lunch sets including bread and water are considered good value, some diners find dinner pricing high relative to portion sizes.

Meaning ‘seashore’ in Welsh, Lan y Môr is an apt name for this stunningly located beachside restaurant; grab a table on the enclosed terrace to make the most of the view. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you’re after ‘Sea’, ‘Pasture’ or ‘Land’, but in this location your eye is sure to be drawn to the oysters, ‘frockles’ (fried cockles) and fish of the day. Ensure you save some room for pudding, especially if the terrific chocolate and cherry cake is on the menu.
