Upon arrival in Tenby we notice the array of interesting fusion of East Asian cuisine combined with pub food options around town. So of course we were not particularly surprised when this gastro pub was also moonlighting as the local Thai.
What was surprising was the menu, featuring approximately 12 Thai dishes and balanced exquisitely with 12 pub classics including both pad ka pow and boozy cod and chips.
The overall experience had an aire of delay when the waitress greeted us at the door and then hastily rejoined a conversation with her regulars. When we finally made our way to our table, we at once noticed that the pandemic has had no impact in the space between customers in this pub. Any efforts to minimise infection were focused on protecting the staff in their very rare appearances in the dining room.
Overall, the experience is as follows:
Mayo: it was excellent watching out neighbour scarf approximately 37 packets of mayo while we patiently awaitin the staff to return with the 3 sachets of ketchup that we had requested.
Staff: it's difficult to remember the staff considering how very little we saw them. Very short staffed for a very busy pub.
Meal: I cannot say a bad word about the surf and turf. Steak was excellent. Mussels, excellent. Onion rings, possibly the best I've ever had. Dessert, nearly called my mum.
Cleanliness: gash. I watched a spider dangling behind my date's head. I refused a set of silverware due to uncleanliness.
Overall experience: 10/10
