Academy Restaurant in Pembrokeshire

I visited yesterday with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was years since I’d been and the level of service was as good as I remembered. The students and lecturers were attentive, polite and friendly. Most of the food was excellent, there were just a couple of little things not right, such as the pigs in blankets were undercooked. Overall a good experience.

Have been to the Academy Restaurant a couple of times now as part of my pamper day. The food produced by the students was delightful. The presentation of the food was very appealing

An outstandingly good meal, served by very helpful and knowledgeable students, nothing was too much trouble. The meal was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, l would definitely recommend this place. But evening meals only on a Thursday, lunches: weekdays during termtime only, but well worth a visit. Parking can be a bit tricky at lunch time, but worth the effort!

Vino para el almuerzo con mi familia. Tuve el quiche con ensalada y patatas, lo cual fue muy bueno. Realmente disfrutamos de la ensalada diferente. y las patatas estaban muy sabrosas. Sólo la crítica y la razón para no dar estrellas es otros en el grupo tenía carne, gravey galletas, papas y ensaladas? ! Hubiera sido bueno tener verduras. Pero como he dicho, era encantadora y disfrutamos de lo contrario.

Altas y Bajas de la noche la formación italiana academia college catering en Haverfordwest, tuvimos una excelente noche de cocina italiana. Ensalada de radicchio con champiñones y gorgonzola vestidor, Gnocchi con pimienta negra y salsa de queso de cabra. Costillar de cerdo con risotto de tomillo, ternera con espárragos, y un plato de linguini. Todos seguido de chocolate bavarois avellana café y pastel y una luz espléndida zabaglione de merengue con una salsa preparada en la mesa. Por £17. 95 fue una verdadera delicia gourmet y una ocasión para traer algunos amigos y disfrutar de la comida y la experiencia de ver a los estudiantes en el trabajo. La baja forma parte de la velada fue que había un grupo de 14 personas algunos así como mesas individuales, posiblemente más de 30 comensales. En mi opinión esto no es un entorno o experiencia para ejecutar una noche de entrenamiento para los estudiantes. Hubo un retraso de 25 a 30 minutos para los platos principales, así que el partido puede ser servido con sus entrantes. En un restaurante público habría personal capacitado y comidas regulares a través de la noche - no todos sentados a 6. 30. Este es un restaurante de capacitación y las necesidades básicas estaban siendo ignorados como. . Pedimos una copa en el bar y nos dijeron que alguien me venga a la mesa para tomar el pedido, no se. Pedimos agua y un estudiante trajo una botella de litro y flip top 1 pulgadas de agua en los vasos. Ir bien en torno a la mesa y la botella, pero se llevaron y no reponen. Tengo una cosa de asegurar que se mantiene una mesa desorden gratis, así que cuando el pequeño britvic/botellas están vacías luego presse elderflower clara ellos lejos y no dejarlas en la mesa durante el plato principal. Lo mismo con la placa para el entrante pan si no hay más rollos sirve entonces ellos recogían antes del plato principal, en vez de tener una limpieza y miga después el plato principal. Otro sombrero de mascotas es el servicio es desde la izquierda o la derecha? Honestamente, no me importa tanto como sé que lado se sirve la comida. Puede ser mucho más fácil y más seguro para romper con la tradición de la izquierda y de la salida de la derecha. En mi opinión, una tradición que nunca debe ser roto es que las mujeres deben ser sirve primero, incluso si eso significa la comidas caballeros hasta todas las comidas están listas para la mesa. Durante toda la noche las chicas eran siempre la última! Lo siento, pero otro odio se pregunta si todo está bien con la comida? Nos preguntaron por 2 estudiantes con cada campo - 6 veces en la noche! Sugiero un estudiante es designado para cada mesa, quizás son - introducir como estudiante para pasar la noche y que el registro persona y preguntar si todo está bien, no varios estudiantes tratando de complacer. Breve los estudiantes en la selección de tés y cafés no dejar uno para ir y comprobar si un té de menta estaba disponible. Los estudiantes estaban genial, pero algunos de estos puntos que espero sean constructivas - todos etiqueta pareció básico para el servicio de mesa. Me parece el restaurante estaba demasiado ocupado para la habilidades básicas para ser practicadas en un entorno controlado. Tener cuidado de no extender exageradamente el restaurante con tales grupos grandes ya que realmente estropea la experiencia de los otros comensales y luego dejarás de disfrutar el esfuerzo que los estudiantes han puesto en la noche.

Knowing that the restaurant is run by students, I had allowed extra time for a lunchtime meeting thinking that the service would be slow....I was very much mistaken. We were seated straight away. Drinks were offered and brought to the table, the menu was varied with a range of options to suit all palettes and the service was impeccable. We enjoyed good food, good service and great value. I enjoyed speaking to the students and finding our more about their aspirations and studied. If you have not tried this place out yet....make a date to visit before Christmas!

We have been going to the restaurant over many years.Produce is always of excellent quality and meals are produced under the supervision of the College tutors and sometimes local guest Chefs. It is good to support these catering students who are experiencing at first hand, serving food to paying customers. It can be an excellent evening meal eaten in comfortable surroundings and helping the students in real work experience. Menus are varied sometimes themed but always to a high standard Parisienne Night was a delight.

Beautifully presented and excellent cooking. Service also excellent. Drinks satisfactory. Original tasting cocktail and it went down well!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Service was excellent and will definitely come again. Thank you.

The training restaurant offers a fine dining experience. It develops future chefs and front house professionals in the Catering College. Thursday evenings present an opportunity for the students to present a meal under the guidance of their tutors and sometimes guest chefs from established restaurants in West Wales. Lunches are also available Monday to Friday. We have visited on many occasions and invited friends to join us. Themed evenings include Brittany to Provence, Thai delights, Indian fusion, Italian and Mediterranean inspired dishes. Cost around £17.95. The meals are prepared and presented in a very professional manner. It is great value, great atmosphere and a great opportunity for the students to meet the public and serve them in a safe environment. It is remember a training environment and maybe a student will be instructed on the art of service during your meal. If you have a large group dining you may be asked to ensure all the choices on the menu are selected amongst the party.The restaurant has a high standard and offers a dining experience to be commended. We wish the students every success and we look forward to many more evenings of excellent dining with you next year. Booking is essential. See their web site for information.

Delicious fine dining experience for a fraction of the cost of a mainstream restaurant. The food is always well presented, fresh and served with care at the table by the students. Obviously this is a learning environment, so things can be a little slower than you may be used too, but it will always be worth it! I haven't eaten here in the evening, only at lunchtime 12-1:15pm during term times. It well worth a visit. Phone ahead if you want to book, but Ihave never needed to.

The Academy Restaurant at Pembrokeshire College is a tremendous place to eat. Sittings are at 6.00pm in the evenings, and the meals are prepared and presented by students under supervision. The quality of both would be hard to beat. The food is extremely well prepared and attractively presented, whilst the waiting staff are extremely attentive and careful. Everything is done as it would be in a high class restaurant. The beauty is that the value is unbeatable.

We regularly have lunch in the Academy restaurant and have to say that this is the best value meal in the area, with a varied cuisine that would compare favourably with London restaurants. For around £8 each, we have 3 course meal with coffee after. Brilliant value. The Academy is run by students, but the service is good and quick. The restaurant is comfortable and relaxing. Well recommended!

This restaurant, situated within Pembrokeshire College, is excellent. The students cook and serve - under supervision - and the standard of both is top class. There is only one sitting - around 6.30pm, but the meals are not rushed. You will not find better value anywhere, and you will be impressed by the quality of the service - silver service and extremely well done. Just remember that these are teenagers being trained, and they make a few minor mistakes, and you will not be disappointed. The wine menu is fairly limited, but good value and beers very limited, but the range of other drinks is quite comprehensive. The menu varies weekly, with a choice of 2 starters, three mains and a couple of desserts, followed by coffee, which comes as a fixed price menu, the price varying with the menu. there is always a vegetarian option, and a phone call will ensure that there si also a fish dish. S0, go give it a try - you will not regret it, I promise you.

We had never visited the restaurant at Pembrokeshire college, but had heard good things so gave it a try last night - you MUST book though. It was an Indian themed night with a choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts. My husband and I deliberately chose different items so that we could maximise our taste experience and we were so glad we did! Pre-dinner poppadoms with chutneys, then our starters of Prawn Puree (?) and Lamb kebabs - piping hot, fresh and delicious. Then chicken tikka (for him) and lamb rogan josh (for me) -blew us away - makes the local takeway pale by comparison accompanied by gorgeous butter rice and stewed lentils, homemade naan and chapatis (and a gluten-free bread roll for me - nice touch!). Desserts to die for - pistachio ice-cream (me) and orange & cardamom souffle (him). All of this is cooked and served (silver service) by the college catering students (a mix of 1st, 2nd and 3rd years) - all very professional, friendly and polite. They were all a real credit to their tutor, Rose, who kept a keen eye on them throughout the evening offering words of advice and guidance where needed. If this is a true indication of our chefs and front of house staff of the future, then I can see Pembrokeshire becoming THE place to eat!! Excellent evening.

Something different - fine dining within a college. This proper restaurant enables those on a Catering/Hospitality Course to hone their skills by cooking for, and serving real customers. You can only book a table for Thursday Evenings or Wednesday & Friday lunchtimes and the menu is somewhat restricted; however, what is available is first class. We visited on St David's Day and a special menu existed with that in mind. Cocktails were available to start and a 3-course Table d'Hote with this, a glass of wine, Coffee and Welsh Cakes cost £25 including service. If our meal was anything to go by, the quality is excellent and the standard of service was guaranteed by the course tutor being present to monitor performance. Better than many ordinary restaurants. You must book, but don't let that deter you. You will enjoy your visit.
