The Old Cross Inn in Ammanford is our pub of the week
This community hub is praised for its welcoming atmosphere and "spectacular" service.
Located at the main crossroads in the town centre, the pub is easily accessible with nearby car parking.
It is a popular spot for a quick drink or a meal, with a menu that boasts Welsh favourites and seasonal ingredients.

The pub, which is dog-friendly, aims to attract families, particularly those with canine companions.
The owners, Tim and Charlotte Phillips, who took over the establishment in April 2024, have previously said: "We're dog-friendly, which not many places are.
"So it's a great place for people to come have food and relax without having to sit outside and worry about the weather."
The couple, who have a history of transforming pubs, have plans in place to continue the success of the Old Cross Inn.
Having previously turned a quiet pub in Northampton into a bustling social spot, they are keen to replicate their success in Ammanford.

Charlotte Phillips said of last year's events: "We're hoping to do some theme nights for the pub and we're also going to do in a few months a BBQ outside of the front of the pub for the summer."
It is hoped that similar events are likely for this summer.
The Old Cross Inn has received positive reviews from guests, with many highlighting the courteous staff, great choice of dishes at reasonable prices, and fine décor.
The pub has a Google rating of 4, according to guests' opinions.
The Old Cross Inn is the place to be for a friendly, welcoming pub experience in the heart of Ammanford, whether you're after a quick drink, a hearty meal, or an evening of entertainment.
And if you have a furry friend, they are more than welcome to join in the fun.
