The Warren

In a quiet Carmarthen side street is this absolutely wonderful restaurant. We were a table of 12 guests at The Warren today, a happy get-together of female friends, many of whom have extensive experience of eating out all over the UK and abroad. Today’s food and service were truly exceptional in all respects. The Warren stands out with its winning combination of quality food, fully-committed and knowledgeable staff and a warm, comfortable and welcoming environment.

Very homely, cosy and down to earth place filled with house plants and decorated in quite a rustic and earthy way. This personality was reflected in the food, serving organic produce with wild flowers and it seems a lot of their food is sourced locally.

I had a pork belly starter, which as a pork belly connoisseur, I can confirm - was delicious. I then had pan fried hake, salsa verde, with a cauliflower puree, which was seasoned well and had plenty of interesting flavours. It was also plated very elegantly. With hardly any room to spare, I had a chocolate mousse, which I believe was an orange flavour with pistachio. This wasn't too heavy or rich and was a great way to end the meal.

The waitress who mostly served us was very enthusiastic and had a very nice energy. She was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and it felt like she really enjoyed her job, which is lovely.

I would suggest this place to anyone who knows/enjoys food and wants a warm, relaxed and down to earth atmosphere. I will be back.

What a fantastic eatery! The food is insanely tasty, beautifully presented and comprised of high quality ingredients. The lentil moussaka was a triumph and one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten. Aside from the food, the decor of the building creates a relaxing environment with eye catching artwork and an earthy warmth which mirrors The Warren’s environmentally friendly and sustainable focus. Additionally, the service from staff was incredible from the moment you walk through the door. The waiter was welcoming and attentive with a happy demeanour, which made our experience at The Warren a memory we would like to revisit again soon.

We stumbled across this quaint place, because my friend wanted a coffee and quiet place to sit down and re-charged her battery! ! We absolutely loved everything from the decor, to food to staff! , exactly what we wanted from our holiday! London is just too hustle and bustle but with this place is serene and just very peaceful. Staff were super friendly (something I absolutely loved from Wales btw) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 lovely place to visit and if ever I am around again I will definitely come back for another cup of Latte as the one I had was absolutely Devine 🪷🙏

I make a point of hunting out good roast dinners. The best roast I’ve ever had was the Bunch of Grapes in Bradford-on-Avon. This roast is so good it makes no difference!!

The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere and decor in the restaurant was pleasant, fun and relaxed. Probably the nicest vibe in any restaurant I’ve been in around Carmarthenshire. Felt like places I’ve loved in Bristol but all the better because it’s so close to home!

We were served within 10 minutes of sitting down. The food was properly knock-out. The beef was super tender brisket I think, the roasted half carrots and parsnips were perfect, the potatoes were really nice and crunchy even at this time of the year when they can be difficult and Yorkshire pudding was light and fluffy. Gravy is important with a good roast and this was one of the best, AND, it came out in a well sized jug and I’m sure had I wanted more I could have got some because of how nice they were. The side veg was tasty and fresh. The review from my partners veggie roast was equally shining.

We shared a sticky toffee pudding - it was SO good. They’re often drowned in the toffee sauce which completely ruins it for me. This one came with a light drizzle of the sauce on a very moist pudding with some nice ice cream. Perfect.

I will 100% be coming back and I think everyone local should be making every effort to keep gems like this open.

Love, love, love The Warren! Consistently superb food/drinks using mostly local and organic ingredients. Especially great for veggie/vegan options. Friendly owners and staff. Cosy atmosphere. 100% recommend.

Amazing vegan options, the food was delicious! Genuinely some of the best food I've had all year. I highly approve of the squash risotto and the beetroot hummus. The vegan pumpkin spice cheesecake was heaven, too. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly, and gave great recommendations and advice. I will definitely by coming back here, and recommending the restaurant to everyone I know. Pictures of the squash risotto and beetroot hummus with garlic bread, and the vegan grazing board.

Visited this restaurant today for brunch while we were in Carmarthen for a meditation break. We were especially looking for a place to have a decent vegan meal as we were visiting the ashram nearby.

Was pleasantly surprised with the options available on their lunch/brunch menu. All ingredients seems to be locally sourced and this info is available at the entrance. The food was delicious and myself being a carnivore didn't have any complaints (I am a serial complainer when it comes to my food).

Very happy with the service and customisations allowed as my wife has many allergies. The prices are very reasonable given the service, the well maintained place and the tasty vegan food. Highly recommended!
