Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the lamb shank curry and sticky toffee pudding, one calling it "the best I've ever had," alongside praise for the crab arancini and, on another visit, the Christmas menu's salmon and pork belly. Several also mention gigantic Yorkshire puddings and burgers at lunch, plus vegetarian, vegan, dairy and gluten free options and locally roasted coffee. Dogs being welcomed with water and treats comes up repeatedly, as does staff accommodating dietary requirements, including one case where a chef adjusted a dish for a guest's needs. One wedding party of seventy describes the service and food as handled well throughout the event. Against this, one reviewer reports witnessing a kitchen worker leave the toilet without washing his hands and describes a confrontation with the head chef that followed. Several note the setting away in Cenarth and call the prices fair for the portions and quality, with one adding there's room nearby for children to play and a spa for longer stays.

    “Lovely food , nice place with lots of space. There is even spa if you plan to stay long day . Pets friendly. Looks like very cozy place in middle of forest . Love it and really recommend to come over if you want to relax couple days”
  • Alexander Humfrey
    “I had a brilliant meal at Phat Forks in Cenarth. Crab arancini - crisp outside, creamy inside and full of flavour. The lamb shank curry was brilliant - the meat fell apart and the sauce was rich but balanced. The sticky toffee pudding was honestly the best I’ve ever had: gooey sponge, lush toffee sauce, spot on. Warm atmosphere, friendly service, and food that feels thoughtful rather than rushed. If you’re anywhere near Cenarth, it’s well worth the trip. I can't wait to go back.”

    “By far and away the best food in the Cardigan area. We had the latest Christmas menu for our latest visit and we were all blown away. The salmon and the pork belly were highlights.”
  • Ryan Dunford
    “What a hidden gem! Absolutely lovely food and excellent service. The chef even accommodated my wife’s dietary requirements to a T which was massively helpful and made our visit perfect.”
  • Maria Dineen
    “This was our first visit to Phat Forks. We went for lunch and we were impressed. Attentive staff, dog friendly, excellent locally roasted coffee. An interesting menu that caters for vegetarians and vegans. Portion sizes very good, quality and presentation very good. Decor lovely. We will definitely be back.”
