No matter what the time of year, the Kookaba, an Australian-themed restaurant just up the hill in…read moreSaundersfoot, is always packed. And that's a huge achievement considering that during the winter months the village is like a ghost town. You might not think an Australian theme is perhaps the most sophisticated way of eating, but the Kookaba does it in such a cute and endearing way that you can't help but love it. Decked out in all kinds of memorabilia from surfboards to koalas and with Australian sports on the tube and draught beers, not only is this a cool place to kick back, the food's great too. I've had many a lovely fish steak here - the salmon's great, the tuna's delicious and the swordfish is something else altogether. Portions here are HUGE. All fish and meat steaks are served with a choice of fries or a deliciously crisp baked potato, and the table sauces brought over in little metal pots are plentiful and tasty, complimenting the side salads perfectly. The burgers are also fab, and there's a choice of more unusual meats like ostrich and kangaroo as well as a good few veggie options, simple but yum-worthy desserts and little bites to begin such as deep fried camembert, one of our favourites. It's also one of those places where everybody knows your name. This is partly down to Saundersfoot being so small, but partly because the staff are so friendly. Long may the Kookaba live. Its novelty is definitely one of its strengths, but the warm welcome will melt even the iciest of hearts.

Unfortunately you have to drive all the way around the block to get to it since they turned the road next to it into a bus lane. I know many like McDonalds but I find this restaurant this to be below standard. I have had to complain here on more than one occasion, when I had my sons birthday party here they couldnt provide simple things like candles or matches for the birthday cake. The food I have found to be often overcooked or even burnt and if you are ordering from the drive through please check you have all the order you paid for as staff seem to have an inability to complete simple orders. I am not saying all McDonalds are like this - I have just found this one inparticular to be substandard.

Finally when the food arrived, we discovered they had used bbq sauce instead of mayo after us specifically requesting mayo due to an allergy of bbq sauce.

Wouldn't you just love to live in a village where one of the few local pubs is right next door? I…read moreknow I would. Well, my other half's parents do. Adjacent to their beach house is a quaint, quirky and very lovely little pub that everyone refers to as 'The Chemist'. It's exceptionally handy if you live on The Strand as you can pretty much just stagger home after a few, but it also boasts a smoking area at the back with decking, patio heaters and a super beach view as the Strand is in fact the closest street to the sand. What the Chemist might lack in drinks variety (particularly if you're not an ale drinker), it makes up for in atmosphere. You'll find older gents who obviously come here every night, propping up the bar and bending the ears of the staff while supping their half bitter. You'll find glammed up dollybirds having a swift one before exiting into Tenby. And you'll find walkers who've just done the trek to Wisemann's Bridge and come back to reward themselves with a cheeky drink. Occasionally the owners will put out free food to nibble on, like sausages for example, which they did while I was there last. It's friendly and welcoming, and somehow manages to feel closed and cosy in the winter yet airy and light in the summer. The decorations are fab too and you'll find yourself chortling away at numerous humorous signs dotted about the place. This is one of those bars where everyone probably will know your name if you've been a few times. If it's crowded it can get a little claustrophobic, but don't let that put you off as the ambience will soon see you right.

On a warmer day we might have enjoyed sitting outside in their quaint little beer garden, but it was the perfect moment to bag a table by the fire. Top marks for a menu that takes vegetarians seriously and gives us plenty of tasty options and glowing praise too for the steaks that were cooked to perfection and for the excellent the cod & chips in Dougs special batter. OK the ladies loos had seen very much better days, but I'll gloss over the details since everything else was terrific.

In the bar room proper you've got little round tables and benches and comfy banquettes, in the dining room you've got beautifully laid cutlery and menus just waiting for your custom. The Oak is about as homely as you can get, with a truly awesome open fire (which served to thaw my icy self out on our night of arrival here for Christmas... seriously, have we managed to have a temperature somewhere above freezing since the start of December?!?), tiled floor, stone walls and a warm welcome alongside a nice selection of ales. It was the very first place I had a drink with the BF when we arrived after the long and arduous journey to our first Christmas together. That evening beverage in the pub made the nerve-wracking experience of meeting his parents far easier. As expected they were wonderful, but the wonderful Oak did calm my frazzled stress receptors rather a bit! It's a free house so you'll find guest ales aplenty, and they do a perfectly solid white wine spritzer which I've always enjoyed. Even when it's crowded it has that warm, bustling ambience one has learned to appreciate during this festive period. As long as we have family friends in Saundersfoot, I'm sure The Oak will be a regular stop-off for many years to come.
