Lovely little local boozer, disappointing food

I didn't expect to find this place on Trusted Places...its in the depths of West Wales! This is a quaint little two-room pub with a cosy atmosphere provided by its open fire and sofas, and there's plenty of newspapers and listings mags to read. Its very much a locals' local but I don't think they object when the odd tourist stops by - they're all pretty friendly in there. There's a reasonable selection of ales and lagers, and they do food which you can eat in the bar or in a small attached dining room. My parents had been raving about this place to us for ages - the chips were of the real-potato-hand-peeled-and-cut-that-day variety and cooked so well that they were going for a weekly fix! I couldn't wait to try it - however, when we came along something had clearly gone wrong in the kitchen. Everything looked and tasted like it was from the frozen food section of Macro. Even Wetherspoons do a bettersc#mpi and chips and for less money. My poor parents were mortifed that they'd brought us here after saying how good it had been. They gave it a couple more chances in the weeks following but nothing had changed and they've stopped going now. Its a real pity as it had been building up a good reputation for food and it was bringing trade to an otherwise really rather nice little pub.
