• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

I'm in the harbour master in aberaeron. I'd forgotten how much I love West Wales. Going to have a walk around Newquay and Aberystwyth later. Any secret gems we should see around here while we are here?
 
The Hive restaurant and the Celtic in Aberaeron is supposedly very good.
The Lime crab in Newquay is a great fish restaurant and the Wellington good for a drink.
Aberystwyth and its outskirts is getting very busy.
Glengower a nice hotel for food or drink.
Nearby Borth, Bow Street and Rhydypennau have some decent pubs for food as well.
Enjoy your day👍
 
The Glengower Hotel is along the seafront at Aber just along from Ceri Hall where I stayed 88-89. In those days it was a bit of a dump, and when I stayed there for a mates stag doo in 2000, it hadn't changed. It always has had its brilliant location though, and somebody has obviously noticed that and completely refurbished the place so that it is now no2 or no3 in that best pubs in Wales list that was on here last week. A lovely spot indeed for a cold one.
 
If you're ever able to stay overnight in Aber, I would heartily recommend Rummers bar at the bottom of Bridge St, by the Rheidol bridge, for a good night out often with decent live music.

The Cellar Restaurant down under the Chip shop on the Harbour used to be excellent, not cheap, but cracking food.

Apologies for the late reply M, not over familiar with the Aberystwyth and Aberaeron pub and restaurant situation, more used to further South along the coast to the St David’s and Solva areas.
 
Second pub down the hill in New Quay has a lovely beer garden and a cracking view.
Lovely Guinness and fresh food.
Lovely beach too.
Aberaeron is lovely, lots of bars and restaurants, but beach is stoney and disappointing

😁😁 Yes bit of overkill on the "lovely" bit there
 
Thanks all. We had a lovely, lovely time. It was lovely.
 
Have you ever been to Clovelly ?

I've heard it's quite nice
 
I'm a little off beam here as you are discussing good food on the coast... but I would like to add that the food in the Cawdor Hotel in Lllandeilo is rather nice.


Edit, as my typing skills are as bad as my thinking skills. :oops: Yes, it was not "god food" :)
