Y Polyn Restaurant

Maggie (24 April 2008)

I took my son there for his 21st birthday as I thought it would be something special. The staff were aloof and offhand. The man behind the bar was obviously more interested in the locals. I assume it was the worst night to ask for a cocktail because he seemed to be too busy and spent most of the time leaning against the bar. The food was ok, nothing special, and quite a disappointment considering the good reviews I'd read.

Y Polyn is a unique building formerly a toll gate located on the junction of two country roads in the County of Carmarthenshire West Wales. It may look like an ordinary average isolated rural pub from the outside, but experienced chefs Maryann Wright and Susan Manson have made Y Polyn far from average. Together they cook simple food like rabbit terrine with peach and apricot chutney, fish pie, salt marsh lamb, welsh black beef, all of which are locally sourced. The enhanced flavour and quality of the food served certainly impressed us. The atmosphere is homely and totally relaxing, the bar which is run by husbands Mark Manson and Simon Wright has an excellent choice of wines also real ale locally brewed. The whole experience must not be missed and we consider it value for money which we are pleased to highly recommend.
