First choice for serious dining in Carmarthen, the Angel Vaults is a suave & stylish affair housed in an atmospheric old pub near the castle. All the action takes place upstairs, overlooking the remains of the gatehouse. The understated interior showcases an extraordinary medieval window – an original feature that now divides two dining areas. The menu is a melting pot of influences, opening with grilled fresh sardines & tomato compote or crispy duck leg & watercress salad with bean sprouts & a sweet soy dressing. You could follow with 28-day aged sirloin of Welsh beef with a peppercorn sauce & triple-cooked chips, an assiette of pork with apple & onion tart tatin or rack of Welsh salt marsh lamb with lightly spiced couscous & an apricot & mint sauce. For dessert, perhaps Eton mess or sticky toffee pudding with ice cream.
