Tafarn Morlais

Tafarn Morlais is back - and it's worth the wait! During our usual Thursday walk through Langennech, we stopped by the Tafarn Morlais to see what was happening with the pub that's been empty for months. We met the new landlords Mitch and Sophie, who explained they've been working hard to address some significant issues left by the previous operators. They were clearly determined to get things right, and when they mentioned Saturday would be their first evening service with the new menu, we booked a table for our extended family What a difference a passionate team makes. Our party of six plus a young baby had an excellent evening. Chef Wes delivered quality across the board - the rump steak on volcanic stone was of high quality from Howells Butchers of Penclawdd, the Thai hanging kebabs were full of flavour, the garlic mushroom chicken hit the mark, and the cheeseburger was genuinely good. The service stood out particularly. The team conducted regular check-backs throughout all courses without being intrusive, striking that difficult balance between attentive and overbearing. Having worked as a mystery diner for several companies, I can say with confidence that both the service and food quality would have scored highly in any professional assessment. What impressed us most was the team's genuine interest in feedback. They actively sought out what was working well and where they might improve - the kind of approach that shows real commitment to getting it right. It's clear that Mitch, Sophie and their team are putting serious effort into bringing this local pub back to standard. Like any reopening, they're working through the inevitable early challenges, but the foundation is solid. The food quality is there, the service standards are high, and most importantly, they care about doing it properly. A proper local pub run by people who understand what that means to a community. They deserve the support, and based on our experience, they've earned it. We'll definitely be back.

First time been back since old owners left, no longer a carvery the food was of a high standard and not cheap, the gravy jug is fantastic, meat was tender, just need to look at veg selection. Also did not get asked if we wanted dessert so went elsewhere. Lamb was delicious and proper cauliflower cheese

I thought I would leave a review as we have not visited for a while and could see new owners were trying to get it established. What can I say what fantastic food!! All freshly cooked to order, even making a meal for a fussy eater that was not on the menu. What lovely people made us feel super welcome and when they knew it was my birthday and my husbands birthday the following day they came out singing with some gorgeous chocolate cake. Thank you guys we will be back
