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. Well worth a visit if you're in Tenby and looking for a budget friendly eaterie.

It's directly opposite the 'Palace' which despite being called a palace is actually an old stone shed of some mild historical significance that is worth a quick look if you're into that kind of thing. The food menu is heavily fish-based and the pub is famed for its steaks, so there are plenty of fish and steak options to choose from, though some of the usual pub meals you'd expect are missing. We found the food was OK, if I had to criticise it I'd say it was a tiny bit dry and a little overpriced but not too bad. Very friendly service, with no problems. If you're driving round this corner of Wales then you could do far worse than stopping here for lunch. If you're thinking of stopping by in the mid-afternoon, it might be worth phoning ahead to check if it's open, because the opening times seem to vary and sometimes it closes between lunch and the evening.

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 I'm on holiday.

This pub first came to my attention via a book called 1001 Great Family Pubs (Automobile…read moreAssociation). The guide book mentioned that not only was it an ancient thatched free house but had its own micro brewery too. I too am a member of CAMRA (Carmarthenshire Branch) and a beer taster/tester for the Evan Evans brewery plus a regular attendant of food and beer festivals in the area, so with that premise I decided to investigate the White Hart further via their website and a recent visit to them. The White Hart is located near to Carmarthen itself & very close to the Botanical Garden of Wales. The pub itself is a traditional 600 year old thatched cottage with thick stone walls and heavy beams plus a converted barn restaurant. The interior is very cosy and full of antiques and a large log fire. The inside is strewn with farming implements, mugs, tankards, old fashioned photos, local scenes, stag antler hat rack, a suit of armour, horse brasses, medieval/gothic looking benches & chairs, so much paraphernalia the place is a museum unto itself. There is even a tropical fish tank and a grey & pink parakeet/parrot in one passageway, but I digress. Let's start with the beer & food. The Coles family that own the pub brew several beers & ciders inc. beetroot ale, liquorice stout, nettle ale, golden ale, Merlin Stout, Cwrw Blasus (bitter), brown ale, Llandarog ale etc. (Maybe even a black lager in the future too. !). All cask beers are brewed locally, in addition to the traditional ingredients of barley, hops and yeast they use their very own water from a well 300 ft under the White Hart, it is a hard water so it gives the beer a bit of bite/substance (in a good way). You have the option at the bar of having a third of a pint beer taster too. As for food there are a range of snacks, sandwiches, bar meals, roast dinners & daytime specials. Dishes such as duck in orange sauce, swordfish, Welsh lamb chops, Black Beef steaks, cod, lava bread, various pies. On my own visit I have a lamb and apricot pie with chips and peas (really nice). Bar meals/grills are around the £10-£15 mark and the bar snacks like jacket potatoes, sandwiches are about a fiver, this may seem a little pricey but then the meal portions are large and you have local produce too. Speaking of which The Coles family have farm too and sell their local free range eggs, jams & chutneys over the bar to take away plus you can but ale gift packs too from the small shop corner of the pub which showcases the range of bottled ales. The pub also boasts a patio garden & children's play area too. The kitchen is open plan also so you can actually see your food being cooked as well. Pre-booked coaches and parties are welcome also. I found the place very welcoming, the hospitality & service was good, fairly quick being served and table cleared away regularly. The bar man does know his beer and the licensing trade inside out as I tested him with my own meagre knowledge as a CAMRA member & Evan Evans beer taster. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, it is a hidden gem and one of Wales' best kept secrets. Go and discover it for yourselves and see if you agree.

The Ferry Inn is a very popular gastropub in an enviable position on the River Teifi. (The views…read moreare fantastic.) It has a cosy bar area, three inside eating areas with river views, two outside eating areas and a terrace to really enjoy the view. They are happy to accommodate diners with dogs (there are also dog-free areas) and it's very child-friendly (there's a children's menu, and some tables seat eight). The menu offers starters at £7.50-£7.95, mains around £18 (except fish and seafood at £24 and steak at £29), desserts at £7.50, as well as a choice of ice creams and sorbets (£3.50-£7.50). They offer a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. We chose Sea Bass served with Lemon Parsley Caper Butter, Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Garden Salad with Buckwheat & Broad Beans with Honey Mustard Sauce & New Leaf Microgreens (£24); and the one of the vegetarian options: Glamorgan Crumble a tower of Leeks, Carrot, Breadcrumbs & Mature Cheddar Cheese, Garlic & Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Glebelands Salad, Quinoa, Bean, Vegetable Salad & Fresh Herb White Sauce (£19.95). We followed this with Dark Cherry & Marzipan Bake Vanilla Ice Cream £7.50. Overall, the food was very good, except that the seabass was (disappointingly) over done and therefore falling apart. I always think it's a little odd serving a cold side salad on the side (or in my case underneath) a hot dish, although overall the flavours did work well together. The Glamorgan Crumble was very tasty. Service was a little manic: some staff seemed to run around all evening, and we were served by four different people during the evening. (One was very nice, two were a bit brusque.) They were busy, but we had booked (and were expecting) a table in the downstairs area with a river view, but were shown to a different part of the restaurant area. There were, however, a number of reserved tables which remained empty through the evening, so it seems like they had a few no-shows. Overall we had a nice evening: with two glasses of wine, the bill came to £75 for two, excluding service. It's firmly worth four stars, and of course you're paying for the location, but at these prices, getting the fish right and calmer service would land a five.
