The Golden Grove Inn, Llanarthney

as a family we have used this pub over a period of about 10 years. we used this pub last year and our last meal there was pretty bad. we went again yesterday just to give them the benefit of our doubt and hopefully things may be better. how wrong we were. my wifes egg ham and chips at a cost of �7.99 included overcooked peas and what looked like cheap commercial chips. the ham was fatty. my carvery was bearable but nothing at all special. the childrens play area was in poor condition and looked neglected.
to be fair the owner is always polite and friendly, but the same cannot be said of his staff. when my wife was asked if the meal was ok when she went to pay she said "not really" and started to tell the barman of our problems in non offensive manner, to which she was told " i am not interested just pay your bill". i did not know of this until we left ,otherwise i might have had a few strong words myself. its a real shame that this pub has gone so downhill as ot used to be a really great place to take the kids but sadly cannot recommend anybody to go there. maybe they will get there act together soon but my family and a lot of our friends will probably never go there again. i guess its hard to get good staff these days.
