The Thomas Arms

About The New Thomas Arms

Established in 1829, The New Thomas Arms Hotel is a landmark building in Llanelli, originally serving as a Georgian coaching inn. A recent refurbishment has been completed to blend its historical character with modern facilities, creating a distinctive setting for private and corporate events.

The hotel is licensed by Carmarthenshire County Council to hold ceremonies and receptions. The main function room can hold up to 80 guests, with layouts tailored to the event, whether it is a private dinner, party, or conference. This space includes a private bar, a dance floor, and audio-visual equipment with presentation screens. A dedicated event coordinator works with clients to design packages covering services, food, and room configuration.

The in-house chefs provide catering options that range from canapés and buffets to three-course banquets, with a focus on using local ingredients. Menus can be designed to suit personal preferences and any dietary requirements. For guests attending an event, the hotel offers 10 refurbished guest rooms, including double, twin, and family options. Complimentary on-site parking is also available.
