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.

A nice friendly barman (at least, when we visited yesterday). There's a separate dining room which looks very inviting, with fresh flowers on the tables and a varied menu.

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.

I don't care if it goes too far with the boat theme. I LOVE THE LIFEBOAT…read more I love the barrel tables decked out with rope glued onto the rims. I love the rickety stools. I love the fact that there are little booths backing into the walls like snugs, filled with cushions. I love the food, but more than anything I love the Quorn burrito. Rarely do I find establishments that serve Quorn as part of vegetarian meals, but this Quorn burrito is in a world of its own. Quorn, peppers, onions and Mexican spices, wrapped in a flour tortilla, then baked with cheese on top until crisp, piled high with salad and spicy potato wedges. As well as this you can get a variety of pub grub and lighter bites too, like baked potatoes and sandwiches, or hearty main meals including a belly-busting burger. The drinks are just fine and dandy and the atmosphere's really enjoyable. But really, I'm always there for the decor and the Quorn burrito. Both put a big smile on my face. Hey, and the Greek salad I had today wasn't bad either. Plus their onion rings have been unrivalled thus far. Awesome.

Upon arrival in Tenby we notice the array of interesting fusion of East Asian cuisine combined with…read morepub 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 I'm on holiday.
