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 disappointing
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' 👍
I have uploaded more photos as i have visited again and my original review still stands tall, amazing service.
*Original review* Absolutely brilliant, the food was amazing, free parking at the rear and the lady that served us was brilliant, very polite and welcoming, I was super shocked that my meal with drinks and deserts for 2 was less than £40. The Black Ox is very homely and very comfortable as you can see from photos. Such a fabulous time I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for top quality food with a great service. 10 out of 10 to the chef and staff. Thanks
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
The chef in this little village pub/eatery knows his stuff! Wow! 5 out of 5 for atmosphere, cleanliness, helpfulness of staff , lovely cosy deco, definitely worth a visit I guarantee you won't want to go anywhere else again.. the food was AWESOME we could have been dining in London the quality and flavours were unique, my husband had the steak, most tender and delicious. This is our new super find. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
Really enjoyed the food. Large portion, fair price. Friendly service. Cockles starter was great!
As you can see I had the Sunday dinner, it was well presented and tasted great. The plate had a decent amount of meat compared to other local roasts. Service was fast and the building was clean and well presented. Hand sanitizer on each table was also a nice touch.
The whole family's food was cooked very nice. Staff were friendly. We all really enjoyed our visit to the black ox
Delicious roast beef dinner. Couldn't fault the meal at all. Table for 2 which we were lucky to be able to move forward an hour (they were fully booked). Staff lovely, quick service. We will definitely be back
