Excellent news! Once again the Good Food Guide are on the hunt for the UK’s top local restaurants. We would be delighted if you would consider nominating us. Click here to go to the website.
Y Polyn is a small family-owned restaurant, tucked away in the verdant Towy valley between the county town of Carmarthen and chic Llandeilo.
We’re not trying to be cutting edge or post-modern here. You won’t find foams, gels or technical wizardry on the plate. What you will find is beautiful produce cooked simply and with respect.
Saltmarsh lamb, Welsh beef and free range, rare breed pork are highlights of the well-balanced menu. We’re very keen to avoid pretension at Y Polyn. Tables are mismatching bare wood, tablecloths are banished, staff wear jeans and you get to pour your own wine.
Some things you should know
Almost everything we serve has been made on the premises.
We work hard at sourcing great produce, much of it local.
We’re not trying to win any prizes for innovative cooking.
We put ingredients together in tasty combinations that work, some of these may be familiar to you.
The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and very informal.
Sometimes it can be quite noisy due to the sound of people enjoying themselves.
We don’t pour your wine for you and we don’t have tablecloths.
We offer our own bread and bottled water at no extra charge.
