St Davids Restaurant Guide

A “low-key” and well-established seafood bistro set “in a beautiful little cove”, with a regular stream of walkers making their way along the Pembrokeshire coastal path. On the menu, a “wonderful choice of up to ten different fish to go along with great chips” (plus other fishy fare: eg. “exemplary squid, chorizo and squid ink mayonnaise”). There’s an attractive upstairs dining room for a sit-down meal, but they’re also “doing great business with take-aways” – best carted off to the harbour wall to be enjoyed amid “the relics of an industrial past mellowed by time” (especially on a grey day, think – perhaps less poetically – rusty quarry machinery).

“Inventive, original and beautifully executed” pizzas (including gluten-free options, plus specials like a fennel, pear and peri-peri hybrid) are “served with a good variety of local beers” at this tucked-away courtyard restaurant – a “truly winning formula” co-run by craft beer types Bluestone Brewing Company and The Canteen, Newport. Staff are “fun and friendly” and “when you do get some pizza, it’s enormous and tasty” (and there’s more on offer at their year-old spin-off in Carmarthen).
