We heard great things about here and were certainly not disappointed. From the off we were given a warm and friendly welcome from both Bill and Judith. They made us feel very welcome and spent the time to answer any questions we had on the menu. The food was delicious complimented by an exquisite rose wine. The setting was intimate,... More

Well worth visiting - quite an experience! Food was excellent and lovely homely atmosphere. I hate to complain, but the only slight minor point was front of house - the lady seemed very irritable, but everyone has bad days...have since recommended the place to others, and we will revisit I'm sure. Cash only if I remember. More

Just got back from a long weekend in Llansteffan and enjoyed a truly wonderful meal out at Yr Hen Darfarn on Saturday night. What a cosy warm and welcoming place. The host Big Bill was very jolly and popped in and out to check that all was ok with our meal. A truly sumptious feast - The steak and kidney... More

As we are working our way through local restaurants in Carmarthenshire we took ourselves off to Yr Hen Dafarn or Big Bill's as it is known. This is a real character venue with (thank goodness) no hint of the corporate blandness that seems to be sweeping the nation. It is of course run by a 'big' (in every sense of... More

Now it's Xmas and I feel guilty that I did not write about our experience at Yr Hen Dafarn (The Old Pub) in the summer. I just drove past and saw the flatfish for sale sign which prompted me to write. On arrival when we visited we turned right in to the bar area with its eclectic collection of artefacts.... More

Y Hen Dafarn is always our first choice for birthdays or special occasions. Over many years we have been treated to a menu that changes with the seasons or whatever is growing in Bill's garden! A steak is never just a steak and all meals are created with care, thought and a large pinch of originality. The style is largely... More

Yr Hen Dafarn, or Big Bills as its called in the village, really is a find! A fantastic restaurant with amazing food. Fresh seafood, amazing game and beautiful home cooking. Its such a treat. Every time we go down to wales, its on our must go list. We always book a table and have never been dissapointed. They allow children... More

This restaurant is only open on Friday and Saturday evenings and tables have to be booked in advance. Credit cards are not accepted. We arrived at 6.30 on the dot which was the time we had booked and were told that we had arrived before the "help". This was hardly welcoming even if said in jest. We were directed to... More

A great welcome when you enter, Bill and Judith are great hosts and can't do enough for you. The food was excellent and plentiful. . Refreshing to have the owner who is also the chef chatting to guests and checking that everything's ok at all times. The menu is so good that it's difficult to choose which to go for... More
