Brown's Restaurant in Pembrokeshire

Great chips my son (9) is a connoisseur of homemade chips and he rates these 5/5 every time, i have also been coming here for years and i love it too

I come in for a breakfast baguette during the afternoon and it was so delicious. Bread is tasty and food cooked well and not burned. Friendly atmosphere for eating in with area outside the back to dine also. Would definitely recommend trying this diner out.

Brought back many memories of when I used to go in my school years. Nothing has really changed since then. Had the chips and pie, good price at £7.50 and came out hot which you don't often get at other places. The portion was enough for me.

Great service from the team. Full English and vegetarian breakfasts very good but a little over priced. Great selections of cakes.

Great food. Very friendly staff

Browns Cafe is a cozy and affordable spot in the heart of Pembroke. I visit here whenever I am in town as the breakfasts are delicious and such a good price. Served piping hot and very quickly, their English breakfasts are truly iconic. The seats are leather booths surrounded by mirrors, with plenty of seating available inside and out. The staff are always friendly and the service is just fantastic each and every time. Highly recommend!

Food great, service great, tables great. Overall 5 stars. Amazing place

Lovely traditional proper British cafe. Staff were perfect, food (the mega cooked breakfast) was ok nothing special for the price. For £12.50 It's pricey sorry. I travel the country and this has to be up there with the most costly yet. As I say Lovely staff and facility. Because of that I'd give it an overall 8 out of 10 #Internationalbreakfasthunter

Very old school and very charming. Just a down-to-Earth local diner with homemade food. We had good lunches, nothing fancy, but everything good. Welcoming service. Very popular with the local folks. Very reasonable prices.

Browns has been in pembroke for a long time, an old style feel to the interior which gives eating in there a good feeling. Staff are helpful and friendly, and meals are good 👍.

Great cafe for a bite to eat. The food was tasty and the staff were amazing.

Great value for money would highly recommend this place great staff and fantastic food. Will definitely be back keep up the good work

Very good Cafe, nestled in the high street of Pembroke. Perfect location for a local and anyone wanting a nice all day breakfast

Really warm welcome from the team at browns, lovely hearty food which we needed after a long walk around the castle. Good selection of very good value food with large portions, daily specials too to make sure you have everything you need! Be sure to stop in if you're visiting the castle.

Excellent food and service. Dogs welcome brilliant.

I use a wheelchair and was told we couldn't go in. Tables and seating too close together and stepped for wheelchair access. In the description on this site it says it is wheelchair accessible. It isn't! Dogs can go in though so that's OK. 😉

Delicious food. Recommend the ploughman’s salad. Friendly staff Very dog friendly, bowl of water offered as we sat down and has a dodgy treat menu.

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff, retro decor (original) which we loved. Good honest food at reasonable prices. Dog friendly and has a lovely little outside seating area at the back.

Staff extremely helpful when asked about vegan and gluten free food. Excellent service and great food Would thoroughly recommend.

Unpleasant middle aged lady took our order, no smile or welcome. Was very rude to somebody on the phone whilst in clear earshot of customers. Chunky veg soup with roll and cheese 'special' was unavailable so we accepted leek and potato as an alternative. However, we were charged inflated price for a small bowl of packet powdered soup (totally liquid) and no cheese. This and 2 teas came to £19.80!! Left a bad taste - in more ways than one... The younger lady who served us was very pleasant.

Very good food and service, and a good gluten free menu,

As always, top marks for all.☺️☕

Great staff so friendly, relaxing place to enjoy food with family. Brilliant with children. Also you are allowed to bring dogs in

I ordered a small portion of fish and chips. The fish was juicy and delicious, and the salad was generous. It suddenly started raining heavily when the store was closing, but I forgot to bring an umbrella. The store was kind enough to let me stay until the rain stopped. Fortunately, it stopped raining within about 15 minutes. Thank you very much.

Lovely staff and good food. Has both a vegan and gluten free menu and the friendly staff where fantastic about checking things. The chips where spot on! It felt very nostalgic from the brown seating to the banana milkshake.

It’s very expensive here and the food isn’t the best in all honesty, the decor hasn’t been updated since the 1960s though which I think is quite cool.

Came here for a quick lunch before a visit to Pembroke Castle. Great selection of warm home cooked food - exactly what you need on a chilly day. Cup of tea and a toastie went down a treat

Very warm welcome from kind friendly helpful staff. They are happy to adapt menu items. Great choices for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, as well as everyone else. Reasonable prices too. The weather wasn't good enough to sit out on the terrace, but we were lucky enough to grab the end table where we could look out over the valley to the hills beyond. My gluten-free tuna mayo toastie and salad was great - they were happy to do me a salad without onions, and I was happy when it arrived with a little pot of toasted seeds to use as a topper if I wished (I did wish). My companion enjoyed his mushrooms on granary toast, a favourite lunch dish which is not easy to find. I was sorry I didn't have space for a gluten-free cake. The cafe was very clean and the service was excellent. I would happily eat here again if I was in Pembroke at lunchtime.

Family run restaurant since 1928. Fish and chips, daily menu are provided.

This café is not only cheery and welcoming but also offers fantastic value for money. The food arrives promptly and is always tasty. During the summer, they had a wonderful promotion where kids ate for just £1 when an adult purchased a meal priced at £8 or more. Such a thoughtful offer truly supports families.

Wonderful find! Good food with a sunny outdoor terrace, and really lovely, friendly staff who were absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town :)

Great cafe serving a variety of food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Very busy place but lots of seating available.

Mediocre and pricey for essentially a greasy spoon cafe. 60s decor has a little bit of historic charm if you love the colour brown, but the menu hasn’t updated since, nor the presentation (have never seen a less attractive cooked fish or the chips). Have eaten in similar style London cafes for less!

Great retro atmosphere! A group of hardworking staff (perhaps not the happiest)... Prices have increased, so breakfast + drinks for family of 7 costed £72. Pictured is the small breakfast (£9), regular breakfast (£10), and mega breakfast (£11). Let down by prices and portions.

Dog-friendly Lovely staff Close to Pembroke castle Quick service and lovely meal Highly recommend the panini's

A little gem of a traditional cafe . Excellent quality food especially the chips. Very good value for money

Good service but small breakfast portions. Small coffee for what it cost.

Today I had a lovely meal here but the wait for the food took 50+ minutes which I find unacceptable as I had the breakfast. The staff were lovely and it was band holiday but it looked like enough staff as it was so quite. When my food came my friends beans were cold and so were mine like they had just came out the can, they were also to runny. The food was lovely just it was lacking a bit in speed. I’m not normally a women who says bad reviews but this was something I had to say, it might not always be like this I might of just had a unlucky trip. Recommend going but maybe not on band holiday.

Absolutely amazing food, good customer service! would 100% recommend popping in at least. all homemade and delicious, old fashioned ice slice’s were delicious

Very expensive £21 for 2 small jacket potatoes with cheese and beans and 2 coffees... Each additional extra £2.20(for a spoonfull of beans) small plate, No side salad, terrible

Good burger and chips! Will be back soon with this fur ball!

The food was nice but very expensive. Two bacon, two sausage, chips and beans and a can of Pepsi was £16.50. Won't be going there again. Check the price before you order

Great welcome by owner Great selection 5 regular 1 veggie including tea/coffee & toast choice of white or brown bread

We always go to Rowlies for fish and chips as they are superb but unfortunately for us they were closed. We decided to try Browns instead, the lady that served us was very pleasant and friendly. The food was cooked to order which was a plus, the fish was quite nice but far too much batter and the chips were reasonable but felt it didn’t warrant £20.

At 1.30 pm on aSaturday, an hour and a half before closing, we tried to enter this cafe for lucnh. We were told they wereclosing, had the doorslammed in our faces and then locked. We walked past the cafe an hour later. The door was open, people were going in and outand being served. The cafe was opening. We fear we were refused service because we were visitors, not locals.in other words, we felt discriminated against. This happened in two other eating establishments on the same day in Pembroke. We will never return.

We took our Christmas visitor, a vegetarian, to Brown's for breakfast. He had the vegetarian breakfast and we had the regular breakfast. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Brown's use really good quality ingredients and it is lovely to get fried bread. Friendly, smiling service, although the cafe was packed. Well done, Brown's, founded 1928, here's to the next 100 years!

Delicious food, very friendly staff and helpful. Lovely atmosphere.

Bought two portions of fish and chips yesterday very small portions indeed, fish was burnt batter and chips were a day old, cost £23.80 just for two, seen some reviews that shop and staff had gone down hill and decided to give them benefit of doubt, what a mistake, I will carry on using rowlies by far the best chippy in town, browns you need to pick yourself up, terrible service 😞

Untampererd with classic cafe, decent fry up. A staple of british dining!

I visited Brown's café today with some family members. As expected it really did not disappoint. Some of the best fish-and-chips I have ever tasted. Well done to all the staff.

Fabulous mega breakfast !! Friendly and welcoming, great service, tasty food, thanks !

This place is so cool, a place that time forgot in a town that time forgot. Had an all day breakfast which was so plentiful even my doggy enjoyed some.

The people are good 😊 they do not eat the food before you can do not jump out the window they got the battered chicken nuggies that the poor cement flavoured nuggies some one smells of feet in the other booth very cool seating and outdoor plastic chairs

'This place makes me happy,' said Caitlin as she polished off her curry sauce and chips. Looking out over the terrace to the hills beyond we all agreed. The 60s/70s decor is lovely and the food is straightforward, well-cooked and well priced. The fish and chips is in the top 10 per cent I've ever had. Veggie lasagne got rave reviews as did the chips and curry sauce (served in metal gravy bowls). A living piece of no-nonsense cafe nostalgia with great views, great food and lovely staff.

By far the best fish and chips we've had. Beautiful tasty cod, delicious light and crispy batter and lovely curry sauce! Would highly recommend, what a gem of a place with it's retro charm and friendly staff.

My abiding memory of this unpretentious café is how friendly the staff were. They seemed genuinely happy to be working there. Additionally the service and food were both good, and the apparently genuine 1960s décor made me nostalgic for my youth.

Delicious mega breakfast, fantastic service. Opened at 9, but door was open a bit earlier, and we were made very welcome even though was early. Lovely view of the garden from the outdoor seating area. Also allowed a little swapping of breakfast items. Fab place.

Visited Browns Tuesday 1st March had mushrooms on toast delicious and was served by Bethan who was polite and helpful would recommend

A charming restaurant with friendly staff and a broad menu. Good to find somewhere open to serve breakfast before 10.00 Well used by locals and reasonably priced. Clean and tidy with a retro style.

Absolutely lovely staff, dog friendly and gorgeous homecooked food in a nice retro cafe, and reasonably priced with a varied menu, what more can we ask for! definitely a place we will visit again when we are here.

I've been a local since May 2021. Kinda feels like an American diner but better! Outside seating, cosy indoor dining, family friendly. I've had food in the cafe and on takeaway. Never seen these ladies sad or angry. Service with a smile, 10/10 I'm about...

It is so rare to find a down to earth traditional cafe, no nonsense quality food with cheerful obliging staff. In a world full of chain coffee shops and cafes were the decor is more important than the food and service this cafe is doing...

Great value, wholesome food. Just what we needed on a cold day. Dog friendly, which made our day. Thank you.

I’m a local and whenever I find myself peckish in Pembroke, Brown’s is my go-to cafe. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. Today I just had a coffee and a toasted teacake. The teacake was slathered in real butter and was...

3.50 in the summer holiday and it's shut!?!?!? Don't people visiting the area need food or a drink after 3.50? Went elsewhere.

Stumbled upon this little restaurant in Pembroke. We needed somewhere dog friendly and this was the place. Food was excellent and service was fast and friendly. We went 2 days in a row to have our breakfast. Highly recommended!

Basic British cafe food, old fashioned booths and mirrored walls which could have been fun, but uptight, unhelpful and patronising staff made the experience stressful. In order to get a vegetarian breakfast we had to order multiple extras which arrived in little bowls and it...

Was ignored for 15 minutes then brought instant coffee when I ordered coffee. Instant coffee in a cafe !!??

I am calling this cafe the most disappointing place across whole our trip in Pembrokshire coast. Have you ever heard of scones with synthetic cream? How about stale scones? Well, that's the combination you can get in this place. I also ordered 2 fried eggs on a toast and they came over cooked inside with hard yolks. The toasts were soaked in oil. Tea, coffee... don't waste your time. Staff member that was looking after us was not friendly and looked very bossy towards her team. Didn't want to stay in that town after that experience and we left straight away.

Really lovely place, food was wonderful and the staff were so friendly. Real family friendly environment. Daughter also enjoyed her strawberry ice cream.

Lovely cafe with great service. We had a mega breakfast, a lasagne pot meal, a kids scampi & chips and kids chips & beans. It was all home cooked and real 'chippy' chips. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed and they had done a good...

I had pie and chips with gravy my wife had baked potato, both were absolutely delicious (particularly loved the chips). The service was excellent and very friendly.

We were given a voucher to eat at Brown's as a Christmas gift. I am a fan of Dylan Thomas and enjoy a trip to the place that was his home town. Brown's used to be his ale house, although I suspect in his day...

Top tier. Very friendly staff, no nonsense food.

Comforting food, retro interior and lovely staff! 10/10 would recommend

Had an amazing fish and chips meal in Browns. Really worth a visit even if it is out of your way. Brilliant service alongside very tasty food. Will be visiting again

Its very nice food and polite staff ant browns cafe is the best in the county

Just had a fried breakfast and was not disappointed best I’ve had in years and the sausages were top notch instantly made me remember food from when I was young and the black pudding was cooked perfectly lol great place proper brekkie and fantastic service

Very expensive for not much food, and the coffee is terrible. But the staff are friendly

Lovely ladies with a warm welcome. Hubby and I needed food a bit late in the day and the staff at Browns didn’t disappoint. The food was lovely and fresh... hubby had a cooked breakfast with fried bread and coffee ... I had a cheese...

Very welcoming after terrible experience at another local cafe causing myself and my husband to walk out. The ladies showed us heaps of hospitality, the food was freshly cooked and exactly what we wanted. Would definitely go again.

We'd walked past this restaurant while trying to find somewhere to eat that was dog friendly. We only asked here as a member of staff was coming out and are very glad we did. The staff were lovely and welcoming and provided drinking water for...

Lush breakfast and amazing Sausages friendly service will come again for sure couldn’t recommend enough

My son's sausage and chips were okay, but my jacket potato and cheese was the worst I ever had.

Asked several eating places in Pembroke if they allowed dogs and all said no. Asked at Browns Cafe and they couldn't do enough bringing fresh water and sanitizing the booth before we sat down. All staff were in vizors and the food was scrummy. nice and hot, really fresh and all served with a smile. Thanks to the Browns Cafe Team. Cafe also participates in the £10 off COVID Scheme

We were made welcome and a fast an friendly service we had a breakfast and it was cooked fresh to order

My family really enjoyed chips from Browns today. The chips were a perfect portion for lunch and the batter on the fish was amazing. We phoned our order through before hand and picking it up was straightforward. We have always enjoyed visiting the Cafe and the staff for many years.

Really enjoyed out takeaway, chips were lovely. Service was quick and friendly. Will be returning. X

My family and I called in for takeaway fish and chips and were delighted with the food and service! Perfect portions and really tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway, thank you!

Visited Browns chips shop with my husband for chippy lunch, really yummy, affordable and lovely service. Portion size was perfect and brilliant social distancing set up due to Coronovirus precautions.

I’ve been to this restaurant/cafe many times and every time i have had amazing service ! The portion sizes are amazing and the staff are really friendly.

Awful. Could be the worst ever. Chips dry and a large COD was very small with plenty of bones and skin!! So disappointing as it wasn’t cheap but never again.

This place has a great history it’s just such a shame the chips are now probably the worst in pembroke. The portion size is terrible, the curry sauce is like water and the pies were poor. Try the other chippys in pembroke. I am a local so have tried all multiple times.

ordered fish and chips today from a very nice lady who was serving. at first there was confusion about my order as i explained we wanted 2 large chips between 4 people, then different items to go with. no battered sausages so we had plain. no large battered sausage so we had two plain. i asked if they did cod bites, yes so i ordered 3. and a pie. £11.40. Got home to open what can only be classed as two small chips by anyone’s standards and cod bites that were slightly bigger than a 50p and were basically mini fish cakes! Now my £11.40 was looking like i’d over paid for food that was not great and potato filled mini fish cakes pretending to be cod! if i hadn’t lived a few mile away, it would of gone straight back.

I first visited this establishment when my family moved to Pembroke in 1966. I haven't lived there for over 40 years, but my mum still does, so I pop back from time to time. Value for money, no frills, but good service and tasty grub. The establishment sadly most the family matriarch who ran the adjoining chippy until she was over the age of 100. Incredible bit of local history and still going strong. Whether popping on for a milky coffee or a full Welsh breakfast, I'd be happy to recommend this wonderful family business.

Cheap and cheerful, your every day egg and chip sort of place. Tasty food and good coffee anyone can afford.

Best food in town always made to feel welcome

I have been going here for over 30 years. Very happy memories. Great food, fantastic staff

The perfect breakfast. Friendly and efficient family business. I hope they never modernise it. Brown vinyl booths are a step back in time. Combined with delicious, well presented food with lovely views over the common makes this cafe a firm favourite. Lovely history of the original owner, Constance Brown MBE who lived to 102 and was Britain's oldest working woman!

Great food, lovely welcome from staff. Would definitely recommend. Comfy seating and lovely outside area on a sunny day
