Some lovely Pembrokeshire pubs! π»π₯
πΊ Destination pubs in Pembrokeshire: the ones worth making a little trip for
Pembrokeshire does not do boring pubs very well. Some are tucked beside tidal roads, some stare out over rivers, some sit high in the Preselis, and a few look like they were built specifically so walkers could say: βGo on then, just the one.β
Here are some of the countyβs more unusual pub settings worth adding to the list.
1. The Old Point House, Angle
This is one of those βare we still on a road?β places. The Old Point House sits at East Angle Bay, down a rough lane that can be affected by the tide, which already gives it a bit of drama before you have even parked.
It focuses on local produce, seafood, foraged food and seasonal dishes, with CafΓ© MΓ΄r also part of the setup during the season.
π The Old Point House, East Angle Bay, Angle, Pembroke, SA71 5AS
π· Price guide: generally mid-range to higher-end pub food, with seafood and specials often priced above standard pub grub.

β οΈ Worth checking tide times and opening hours before travelling.
2. Tafarn Sinc, Rosebush
Possibly Pembrokeshireβs most characterful pub. Tafarn Sinc is a community-owned pub in Rosebush, built in 1876 and known for its corrugated iron, old artefacts, farming bits and proper Preseli atmosphere.
It also has a strong claim as one of the highest pubs in Pembrokeshire, sitting beneath Foel Cwm Cerwyn. This is the sort of place where the building is half the attraction.
π Tafarn Sinc, Rosebush, Maenclochog, Clunderwen, SA66 7QU
π· Price guide: light lunches and sandwiches from around Β£6, with main meals generally in the usual pub meal range.

3. The Sloop Inn, Porthgain
A harbour pub with serious old Pembrokeshire soul. The Sloop sits in Porthgain, between Fishguard and St Davids, right by the harbour and on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.
The village was once an industrial port, but these days it is more walking boots, seafood, pints and βshall we stay for another?β energy.
π The Sloop Inn, Porthgain, Haverfordwest, SA62 5BN
π· Price guide: seasonal Welsh pub food, fresh fish and local seafood, with prices varying depending on specials.

4. The Ferry Inn, St Dogmaels
If you like your pub with estuary views, this one is hard to beat. The Ferry Inn sits on the edge of the River Teifi, with outdoor terraces and views across the river and countryside.
It is a lovely one for couples, families, muddy boots, dogs and anyone who likes a meal with a proper view attached.
π The Ferry Inn, Poppit Road, St Dogmaels, Cardigan, SA43 3LF
π· Price guide: starters usually around Β£6 to Β£9, main meals commonly around Β£20 to Β£30, with steaks and specials higher.

5. The Griffin, Dale
A proper waterside pub in one of Pembrokeshireβs best harbour villages. The Griffin sits right by Daleβs sheltered waterfront, making it a cracking choice after a coastal walk, paddleboarding, sailing, or just pretending you are the sort of person who βpops out for fresh sea airβ rather than βgoes out for lunch and a pint.β
It is especially well known for seafood, and Dale itself gives the whole visit that relaxed, end-of-the-road Pembrokeshire feel.
π The Griffin, Dale, Haverfordwest, SA62 3RB
π· Price guide: seafood and pub classics, generally in the mid-range pub meal bracket, with specials varying by season.

6. The Carew Inn, Carew
A pub opposite one of Pembrokeshireβs great castle views. The Carew Inn is ideal if you want food, history and a stroll around Carew Castle and the mill pond.
It is the kind of place where you can go for Sunday lunch, then accidentally turn the day into a mini history trip. Not the worst accident to have.
π The Carew Inn, Carew, Tenby, SA70 8SL
π· Price guide: pub classics, Sunday lunches and seasonal dishes, generally in the standard to mid-range pub meal bracket.

7. The Jolly Sailor, Burton
A proper riverside pub on the Cleddau. The Jolly Sailor sits along the river at Burton and is a favourite for views, garden space and a relaxed meal near the water.
It has that βquiet pint by the riverβ feel, but with enough food options to turn it into lunch or dinner without much arm-twisting.
π The Jolly Sailor, Burton, Milford Haven, SA73 1NX
π· Price guide: childrenβs meals around Β£9, with many mains usually in the mid-teens and above.

8. Wisemans Bridge Inn, Saundersfoot
This is beach pub territory. Wisemans Bridge Inn sits right by the sea, making it a strong shout after a coastal walk, beach day or drive out from Saundersfoot.
On a good day, the view does half the work. On a wet day, well, it is still Wales, so order chips and carry on bravely.
π Wisemans Bridge Inn, Wisemans Bridge, Saundersfoot, SA69 9AU
π· Price guide: standard pub meals, sandwiches, light bites and main meals, with sides and smaller options from a few pounds.
π Bookings/contact: 01834 813236 or 01834 813246

9. The Stackpole Inn, Stackpole
A strong choice for anyone walking the Stackpole Estate, Bosherston Lily Ponds, Barafundle Bay or Broad Haven South.
The Stackpole Inn is known for food, weekly changing specials and a cosy village setting. It is the sort of pub that feels like a reward after a walk, even if the βwalkβ was mostly from the car park.
π The Stackpole Inn, Jasons Corner, Stackpole, near Pembroke, SA71 5DF
π· Price guide: quality pub food, specials and local produce, usually in the mid-range to higher-end pub bracket.

10. HARBWR Tap & Kitchen, Tenby
For a slightly different βdestination pubβ angle, HARBWR is a craft brewery and taproom just above Tenby Harbour.
It is not tucked down a mud lane or perched on a cliff, but it has that hidden-lane, holiday-evening feel, and the brewery connection gives it something a bit different.
π HARBWR Tap & Kitchen, Sergeants Lane, St Julian Street, Tenby, SA70 7BU
π· Price guide: hearty pub food, burgers, grill options, classics and changing specials, generally in the standard to mid-range pub meal bracket.
π Bookings/contact: 01834 842273
π harbwr.wales
Pembrokeshire has plenty of pubs where the setting is half the story. Some are for walkers, some are for seafood lovers, some are for castle-spotters, and some are for people who just enjoy saying, βI know a place,β before driving everyone down a lane that looks illegal but somehow leads to chips.
