Stopped in here for Sunday lunch and frankly a little disappointed. Roast dinners were on the menu…read moreso we both had roast beef and the trimmings. The beef was overcooked, the roast potatoes were burned (almost totally inedible), my wife makes better Yorkshire puddings than were on our plate (doughy and rather flat). The broccoli in cheese sauce was actually pretty good as were the other veggies. The service was good and prompt but they were very busy and several of the young staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. With a little research we discovered they are advertising to hire a cook. That makes sense. It has a very nice pub atmosphere and I particularly liked the Royal Navy cap tallies over the bar.

If you've got a car and wondering where to eat after a day trip in Skomer...this place is perfect for you (IMHO). We initially wanted to go somewhere else as it had 4.5 star rating on yelp but that other place was closed on a Sunday so we re-yelped and found this absolutely fabulous little hidden gem very close to the hotel we were staying at, the Cleddau Bridge Hotel. As we parked the car, we said to ourselves, wow this place is gorgeous and it seems that not too many people know about it. We were super hungry as we'd just spent a day in Skomer and so when the food came it was bliss. EVERYTHING was so delicious and I dare say it's not because we were very hungry. We had the steak and stilton pie, the Sirloin steak with creamy mushroom sauce and gloriously fried fish and chips and ended with the crumble of the day. The pie was simply perfect, the steak was a great showcase of Welsh beef and it's sauce was one of the best mushroom sauce I've had and the battered fish was perfectly fried. Crumble was lovely. Oh dear, I'm hungry just writing this review. OK - now to the visuals. The pub itself and interior is nice and cozy. Quite pretty in fact with cute decorations here and there. And then there's the outside. We would have sat outside if we hadn't been outdoors on an island with no shade for 5-6 hours as the view was just lovely. You could easily come here on a beautiful evening and have a very romantic (and as above, DELICIOUS, meal) seeing the sunset on the River Cleddau. Needless to say that we will be back here again on our next trip in Wales :)

I think the first review was already spot on but I'd just like to give mine for further support of this great restaurant. Apparently it's quite a well known one as our lovely B&B hosts in Llandovery had recommended we come here after seeing the dolphins and we are happy to have followed his advice. The menu isn't huge but the selling point here is fresh seafood and prepared to honour their natural taste. My scampi loving boyfriend ordered the scampi meal and I had the very fresh (caught the same morning we were told but not the one we saw on our dolphin boating trip) New Quay European Lobster linguine and it was incredibly satisfactory. The lobster meat was sweet, bursting with lobster flavour and it was the perfect pasta dish and spicy even - a slight surprise given that my boyfriend told me that we would not find good food in Wales. I could have easily had a second serving of that tasty dish. Scampi was very good but Lobster and in Summer, Mackerel are the seafood choices to go for. On a gloomy rainy day, the delicious food can be enjoyed in their cozy and beautiful pub or on a sunny glorious day, if you're early enough, you can have your meal while overlooking the bay of New Quay which is a treat. At sunset it could easily be very romantic and for a very reasonable price.

It was amazing. Salmon that melted in the mouth, steaks as soft as butter... Incredible. As a result we've been back countless times since and booked the entire place out for last New Year's Day, something which shall doubtless be happening this year too. If you can catch it in winter, do have some of the delicious mulled wine they serve at the bar. The bar itself is gorgeously decked out in wooden furnishings with lush little wicker cushioned seats and quirky features. The staff are super attentive and the proprietor is something of a character. But the real stars are the dishes themselves. This place does fantastic mussels (fish and shellfish are a bit of a speciality here), the meat is cooked to perfection and the sides they provide you with are insanely tasty. Oh and you must have the bread to pick at for the start of your meal, baked fresh and full of olives and sundried tomatoes. It's a rabbit warren of a place with winding stairs, and it's family friendly and harbours tons of charm and character. I can never wait to come back here whenever I leave Wales. Do try it!

Although, guys... if you happen to be on a date in Swansea and want some place to take your date, stop in here because she'll be impressed. While they are known for their seafood, if you are not a fan of seafood there are options for you as well! We were late for our reservation, but they still sat us. Not only were we there in a group, but there were couples, and even a few families, so it appears as though it is popular with a wide range of people. I shared a starter with my date... it was scallops with a side of laverbread. It was the first time I had laverbread and unfortunately I just didn't like it, but my date really seemed to enjoy it. The scallops were wonderful! Don't think I've ever had scallops so fresh. I ordered the salmon with a nicoise salad. The salmon was just done wonderfully... not overcooked at all. The nicoise salad... garnish... whatever it was, I was not as impressed with it. I did have the sauteed potatoes, which were wonderful as well! My date had the scallops, sea bass, and seafood parcel. I tasted the sea bass and it was even better than my salmon! For dessert, we had the trio of bread pudding, apple pie, and creme brulee... Skip the trio and go for the bread pudding. Out of the three it was the best and I had wished I had just ordered the bread pudding! The staff were very attentive and very patient with us... there was quite a bit of wine and bubbly flowing, so you can imagine that our table may have been a handful for them, but they handled it very well! I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere (no, not just because of the wine and champagne...) and hope to go back and try some of the other dishes... and of course have more of that bread pudding!

When it first opened there were lots of difficulties with unbelievably slow and inadequate service, but that has slowly improved recently to the point where it is now fairly slick. The food is refreshingly different and the specials board is changed frequently so if you are a regular visit you are guaranteed a change from your previous visit. I love the atmosphere, it is cosmopolitan and yet not pretentious, quite relaxing in fact. I have not had a poor meal here and would recommend it unless there is a hen party happening which is not ideal as we discovered on our last visit!! So do ask when booking because it did spoil our quite romantic meal as you can imagine. All in all a very positive experience generally.

I had vegetable bhuna and the lack of garlic, salt and spice was quite a shock. Other members of my family had the same issues..bland and overcooked dishes of various kinds. I'm not sure if they have new chefs but we unfortunately won't be going back until we hear through the grapevine that the the food has improved.

You'd be tempted to think that beachside restaurants rely on their views, after all, the attraction…read moreinitially must be in the location. We were recommended this place by a very accomplished and successful chef, so it was never the view we were going for. Not that it's not a bonus of course - I mean, who doesn't want to sit and look out at a beautiful Welsh beach (and they do have some of the best in the world) when eating with friends and family? But in the evenings, it's just the sound of the waves and the food. So the food is really where it's at, as the Beach House has clearly built its superb reputation on that, not just its wonderful location. Such imagination here too. The amuse bouche was a little contrived and somehow didn't work for me, but I was still glowing from a superb Marmalade Martini so I let that one go. Starters of Oxtail ravioli and fresh mackerel were wonderful, delicate and incredibly fresh. Main courses of lamb and pork belly were beautifully presented and perfectly sized. The children's menu lacks imagination and doesn't reflect well on such an accomplished kitchen; but I suppose they are playing it safe so you have to forgive them for that. I made room for a Peach melba because the last time I had one it was probably shop bought back in the seventies, so I wanted to see what it was really meant to taste like. I can conclude that it was the perfect end to a very lovely meal. I'd love to have met the chef behind this place, Hywell Griffith - but after a Marmalade Martini and delicious bottle of Le Orme Barbera, I thought it best to pay my 'compliments to the chef' through his excellent and very chic manageress. Their website states: "We want all our guests to be happy" Well I think they've nailed that one. And that was without the view.
