The Sandpiper Brewers Fayre restaurant in Llanelli
At the Sandpiper we offer delicious pub food at great prices. Our restaurant is really family friendly with fun indoor and outdoor play areas, a large pub garden that overlooks scenic Sandy Water Park Lake and a menu ranging from pub classics like our ultimate filled yorkie to our delicious smothered chicken. All in all, we’re a breath of fresh air next to some of the best sights in Llanelli and a great place for a family meal out, a quiet lunch unwinding by the lake or a romantic trip to Wales.
Our team
We’re so lucky to have a team full of such hard working, passionate people. Many of our team members are experts in hospitality and our team leader, Alison, has even been with us since we opened in 1996. We have a broad range of ages in our team, from 16-18 year olds who are just starting their careers to team members in their 60s – our team’s diversity gives us a fantastic blend of skills, experience and energy.
We think it’s important to contribute to the community we’re part of, so we sell sweets in our bar area in support of Ty Hafan, a local children's hospice. We’ve also raised thousands over the years volunteering for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital.
Our location
The Sandpiper is based over four acres of what was formerly Dupont Steelworks. In 1986 the steelworks were bought and changed into Sandy Water Park. The view has changed a lot since then! We’re now next to stunning lakeside walks, cycle tracks and swans, mallards and tons of other wildlife in the lake and around Millennium Coastal Park. Our restaurant has been open since 1996, and we’ve stayed a big part of Llanelli over the 25+ years we’ve been operating.
At the Sandpiper we’ve got all the facilities to make sure your meal is the highlight of the week. We have a soft play area with a toddler section and an area for older children. There are tables next to the play area, so you can keep eating while your kids are busy playing. Our outdoor play area is an enclosed garden with plenty of tables for food & drinks, great for catching your breath while your kids tire themselves out! Our pub garden has lots of benches and outdoor space, with stunning views of Sandy Water Park Lake. Dogs are also welcome in our main outdoor garden area.
Inside our restaurant, we’ve split half of our space into a family dining section next to the play area. The other half of the restaurant is for our guests that want a stress-free, relaxing and slightly quieter experience. We also have a bar area which can be used for guests who just want a quick drink.

Why we love Llanelli
Llanelli has some of the most scenic landscapes in Wales, and we’re very happy to be right next to some of the best! You can see Sandy Water Park Lake from our restaurant, you can even spot amazing wildlife and rare birds when you eat in our garden area.
We’re only a short 5-10-minute walk via the breathtaking Millennium Coastal Park to Llanelli Beach and stunning views of the coast. If you’re visiting the Welsh coast for a beach trip, you couldn’t pick a better spot to eat than with us.
After a delicious meal with us, you can trek on to Pembrey Country Park – one of the top spots for tourists in Wales. Surrounded by 500 acres of woodland alongside eight miles of golden sands, for our money there’s no better spot in the UK for a relaxing weekend adventure.
