A review from last month (July 2024) wrote: “This is a great place. The small plates aren’t that small either! The freshness of the ingredients and the flavours are dazzling.

“We opted for the heritage tomatoes with ricotta and olive and caper dressing, Cardigan Bay crab with hazelnut and white cabbage and fish cake with pickled cucumber and curried mayonnaise.

“This menu isn’t trying to be clever – it’s just simple, fresh, local ingredients, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked in relaxed and friendly surroundings.

"All served by absolutely charming young staff – all of whom have clearly been very well trained.

“The wine list is comprehensive and very reasonably priced, and we opted for a young French rose which complemented our dinner very well. We loved Yr Hen and can’t praise it highly enough.
