I stayed in Burry Port for a short break at the end of May and the owner at my B&B recommended the Hope & Anchor to us. From the outside it was unclear that is was a full size restaurant and my partner was a little dubious about eating there.
We need not have been concerned as once inside it was evident that the place was immaculately clean, spacious (there's more space towards back of the building and a courtyard area which would be great in warmer weather). The welcome we received was very warm and the waitress service was fabulous.

The Monster Burger is exactly as advertised - a monster of a burger! Absolutely delicious. Although we were full, we made room for their Strawberries & Cream Cheesecake (which was exactly what I needed in this heat). Stellar quality and value for money, served with a smile. Will...
