The Forest Arms Pub, Restaurant & Rooms — Restaurant in Wales

Leading up to a couple of Sundays ago, I had consistently enjoyed the excellent food and friendly customer service whenever I attended with my family. We visit our close friends intermittently on the weekends, and sometimes we book a table for lunch. On this particular occasion, towards the conclusion of our meal, I was "seemingly' and indirectly caught in the crossfire of a conversation that was in relation to my ethnicity. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable, to which I eventually brought it to the attention of the owner (although I later understood it to be a coincidence). I want to stress that it was not a member of staff, and to the owner's credit an apology was given prior to myself leaving. I'm not part of this "Woke" generation, and the last time I heard this particular chosen phrase was in my early 20s (I'm 50). It dawned on me that this individual was a person who simply didn't realise that the phrase was no longer user-friendly in these times. I hope my constructive feedback offered at the time would open the owner's "nearest audience's eyes" to the diverse customers who will continue to walk through your doors, and perhaps some awareness might be brought into...

Staying locally in a cottage at Brechfa Forest Barns this week Mon 20th Jan - Fri. After a superb evening meal at the Forest Arms, very reasonably priced on our day of arrival we decided we weren’t cooking at all this holiday once we found out they also served breakfast from 10am. Plenty to choose from on the menu to try different meals each day. Can definitely recommend the full Welsh breakfast to set you up for the day and we have booked to secure a table at 6pm each day to round our day off. We haven’t been disappointed at all as all our meals have been delicious, served hot and well presented. Friendly welcoming staff and our dog is welcome too in an allocated area for dogs. The Forest Arms is warm and cosy in the middle of January and eating at this little gem has made our holiday. We have our hosts at Brechfa Forest Barns to thank for making us aware of the Forest Arms. This is our first visit to South West Wales and we will...

We booked in for a Christmas meal, which we confirmed a few times during the week. On the day of our 'booking' we received a call to confirm 'our booking' for the following evening. It was slightly disappointing as we'd confirmed the booking ourselves several times. On arrival the establishment is lovely, limited parking but very pretty. Inside is quite a rustic setting, and completely stunning. Unfortunately despite us having confirmed the Christmas menu, we found it actually wasn't available. Which was disappointing, but they do offer a good 'standard ' pub menu. This menu is I'd say above standard pub menu, and it was delicious. Good size portions, and friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Warm and intimate, good selection of drinks, real ale as well as a couple of Lager options. Staff attentive but not too much, very comfortable and absolutely no rushing. This is our second time here, and very much enjoyed it. We would...
