Four of us for dinner in one of the garden pods. Although it was a very chilly April evening, we were warm enough nestled into one of the heated pods once we had the front flap down and the blankets on our knees - that's not a complaint - we wanted the outdoor experience, and it was just what we expected! The food was truly excellent - I doubt you would be disappointed with any of the dishes. I had smoked duck, followed by belly pork and we shared charred cabbage, broccoli, hash browns and carrots. Dessert was a caramely choux bun with passion fruit sorbet. The food is more fine dining than "pile-it-high", but the quality is such that each mouthful is savoured and not rushed, a consequence being that we had a long, leisurely dinner and left feeling fuller than was good for us. We were somewhat confused over the coffee... we thought we were ordering an irish-style coffee but were served a cold hazlenut cocktail, which was delicious, but a puzzling end to the evening. The service was very attentive, headed up by a very sweet, young european man who was wonderful but a bit self-concious of his limited english amongst chatty englanders! It wasn't cheap.... think £60-£70 a head (with drinks), but it was worth it for a special occasion. Not our first time, and certainly not our last.

Great food and atmosphere, staff very friendly and excellent service. Food came out quick and very hot, can’t fault it and would absolutely recommend

My wife and I, having lived in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) bewteen 2013 and 2014 were excited to discover a restatuarant offering authentic Malaysian cuisine....... particularly 'Beef Rendang' which is my wife's favourite dish which she had enjoyed a number of times in Madame Kwan's in KL. Unfortunately what was served at Happy Lok was not authentic and my wife had to ask for the dish to be changed to an alternative. Beef Rendang is a dry curry with beef cooked very slowly to tenderize it and allow the spices to penetrate and served shredded. HL served up large pieces of tough beef in a wet sauce! My 'Pad Thai' was OK but nothng special..... no interesting vegetables and flavour was underwhelming. My daughters sweet and sour chicken was excellent as was the service. Service attentive with a smile and the Beef Rendang dish was readily replaced with a vegetable curry which was enjoyed. We ate early due to attending a show so the restaurant was very quiet.

Lovely family meal, food was delicious and they even boxed up pizza for my godson as he couldn’t finish it . Great staff and great food

Everything absolutely great.

Have been here for many times. Always satisfied us on the tastes. We have tried the prawn fried rice this time, very delicious. Thanks to the chef for his good skills. The service of the young girl, I think she's a U student working there. Very considerate and having good manner and smiles.

Overall excellent food and accommodation with friendly and helpful staff. Poor internet access not what you expect these days.

Fabulous meal on Friday night, food, service and ambience all excellent. Best meal we had on our week's holiday in Cardigan!

Fantastic grub, drink, ambiance and service!

Had a lovely Afternoon tea which was a Birthday gift. Highly recommend .

The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. It was good value for money as well. The belly pork starters were amazing.

Great food, sandwiches were amazing and delicious cakes. Very enjoyable afternoon tea and friendly, attentive waitress.

Nice pretty location sandwiches were very full, difficult to eat, bread very heavy. one of the sandwiches was missing a piece of bread which we pointed out to the waitress after 15 mins and she said it had fallen off while she was carrying it up! expensive for what it was bit stingy only allowing 1 pot of tea

Very friendly staff with excellent variety of food and drinks

An excellent evening out in a relaxed atmosphere, good food and fabulous cocktails!

Where to start? The super friendly staff, the great, garden-dining ambience or the best starter my partner Stephanie and I have had in a very long while. Seared duck breast in a marinade I would seriously consider doing violence to acquire. A fantastic lamb dish and a plate of belly pork on a bed of cockles and we were hooked, plus all the vegetables are cooked and served in imaginative, but not too fancy ways. Llys Meddyg is a treat.

Really nice surroundings. Staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us food was delicious and plenty of it Will definitely be making another visit when I am in the area.

First visit to Happy Lok & we’ll definitely be back! There is a nice, family-friendly vibe as soon as you walk in. The staff & friendly & very attentive. The food was excellent - fresh & very tasty - & we were pleasantly surprised by the price. We intend to bring friends with us for our next visit.
