Cafe on the Quay in Pembrokeshire

Excellent and friendly little cafe, clearly popular with locals. Top notch cake. They will also do takeaway tea and cake.

Scoperto per caso nella lower town di Fishguard, nella baia, è un piccolo caffè-ristorante che prepara semplici ma sorprendenti piatti di pesce. Granchi, aragosta, gamberi e sgombri a prezzi buoni. Servizio rapido e tavolini anche all'aperto. Ideale per un pranzo veloce.

Stopped off here en route home after a lovely stay in Pembrokeshire. A group of 6 (3 adults 3 children). The service was faultless as was the food we had Breakfast Mackerel Smoked Salmon Sausage Sandwich All quality ingredients and tasty. Loved that the side salad was dressed (so many places just put dry leaves on the plate). We were gutted that we hadn’t discovered this little gem before. Diolch

At the end of the harbour you find the cafe . Great day time meals ,fresh and extremely well cooked . On Thursday evening they are open for a specials menu . Tonight we had . Mussels, scallops, sea bass , lobster and chicken tikka! Between 10 of us . All beautifully cooked and lovely and hot considering the size of our party .

First - the freshly caught mackerel, simply but perfectly pan fried with delicious sautéed potatoes and homemade coleslaw was something to write home about. The crab sandwich came on thick slices of country brown bread, and tasted much better than what passes for dressed crab in smart London eateries. The cakes! All baked in house; the blueberry almond and coconut cake is well worth a detour as was the apple cake. This place is an absolute find. We were reminded of how good food should be coming off an Oceania cruise where things were far from what they should have been.

Good coffee and service, sandwiches nice if not a bit expensive, £12 for a crab sandwich, but it did come with a small side salad.

Great experience! Great quality fresh food, good portions, interesting variety of delicious cakes too. Can take away. Friendly and efficient service, tables quickly cleaned, food arrived quickly. With the amazing views and free parking very close by, we are looking forward to a return visit!

Visited the cafe today and had a crab sandwich and quiche, both of which were very nice, however the amount of salad and coleslaw was very minimal. The salad consisted of leaves with a dressing, perhaps a bit of seasonal vegetables would have enhanced it considerably.

On our short Welsh break we hadn’t left time enough to have a meal. It’s the kind of place that can do the freshest grilled mackerel or dressed crab which is landed just a few metres away. Our loss! We had time for a couple of cracking cappuccinos though and enjoyed the warm morning sun. Friendly staff and customers. Definitely going back next time.

What a hidden treasure with very friendly staff and great food i had a Crab sandwich and my husband had homemade quiche it was lovely sitting outside and looking over harbour eating our lunch after a walk along the coast A must if you find yourself in Fishguard

We visited Fishguard whilst exploring Pembrokeshire. The Quay is very pictures with a variety of places to sit outside and enjoy a bite to eat and drink including the Yacht Club. There is a wide variety of food a drink options located right along the waters edge while providing views across the quay.

Great cofee ,cakes and light meals. Very well prepared with good service . Loved the baked potatoes with prawns ans salad. Beautiful location

Called on the off chance they might sell ice cream, and oh yes they definitely do. Best ice cream I’ve had for ages. Ginger, peach and orange. Totally delicious, and a lovely spot to sit. The lunches looked great too, and I’d love to come back here for lunch.

We called there on a lunchtime. I had pan fried mackerel. Potatoes and salad .my wife had bass. Both meals were delicious. Service spot on

Having seen the previous reviews we drove down & parked with ease on the car park by the lower town , great little place by the little harbour seating inside & out, good breakfast & lunch menu, cakes looked amazing , coffee excellent, service quick, going back tomorrow for breakfast we enjoyed it so much.

Discovered this cafe today and loved it. Fresh sea bass and mackerel tasted delicious washed down with a glass of white wine. Fun and friendly ambience with helpful staff. We'll be back

Truly wonderful cafe. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. One of our party is wheelchair bound. They ensured he entered and exited via the ramp. The food was excellent. Our party were on the harbour from mid-morning to after lunch. We ate and drank a number of different items. The sandwiches, cream teas, cakes, milkshakes and ice creams all found favour. The food was exceptional.

Steak sandwich was very tasty but a bit chewy and a bit expensive for what it was. Definitely recommend the hot chocolate brownie and cherry ice cream. Pleasant outlook

Mmmmmmm Breakfast and so much more. What could be better than a quiet spot right on the harbour as you enjoy freshly prepared food that tastes great.

Whilst on holiday in Lower Town, Fishguard, we had walked past the Yacht Club a few times and had nosied at the menu which looked really good. We went for breakfast and it certainly exceeded every expectation we had. We ordered a full breakfast (hubby said the sausages were the best he’d ever tasted), and scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms and beans. Honestly, the food was quality and we paid what you would expect to at such a lovely place. It’s situated right next to the harbour so eating good food with fantastic views certainly started our day off well. They also had a good selection of cakes and quiches which we also bought and had for tea that night! The staff were lovely and I would absolutely recommend this place. An absolute gem.

Lovely local crab sandwich on malted seeded brown bread. Dressed leaves and homemade coleslaw. Dog friendly cafe serving cakes and local beers. Just perfect

We came here last year and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Nothing has changed, it is excellent. Quality food, great coffee, excellently served.

Absolutely gorgeous fish - we had sea bass and mackerel. Cooked simply but sooo tasty. Make sure you leave room for dessert - homemake cake is excellent (I had rhubarb) and ice cream! We found this by chance - so lucky

Had 2 crab sandwiches for lunch hardly any crab filling costing £22 feeling ripped off as well still hungry

Stopped off for breakfast in this perfectly situated quayside cafe last week. Fantastic food and warm, friendly staff. Will definitely return!

Another fantastic experience at this place before we head home tomorrow....homemade fish pie and spiced apple pie with ice cream .....with a couple of glasses of wine outside on the harbour front ....cant wait to come back here next time ...big thumbs up 👍to a...

I loved it a lot. There was very fast service the scone that I had was Great!!!!! Yummy hot chocolates and coffee Summer aged 8

The queue was long and moved slowly due to only one person serving. Given it was a Sunday lunchtime you’d expect perhaps 2 staff taking the orders or certainly a slightly greater sense of speed. Ordered a crab sandwich at £9.50 - an eye watering...

Changed hands since our last visit.. Disappointed is the best we can manage. Table service prices for takeaway food. The mackeral itself was stunning, but let down by 1/2dozen bits of potato, slabs of cabbage coleslaw and over dressed salad leaves.. Refine your Coleslaw, allow...

We were looking forward to a snack and drink here. However, the man serving at the counter picked our scones up with his fingers!!!!!. We were asked if we wanted cream and jam on them. I asked for cream and jam on one and just...

Had a terrific crab sandwich here with crunchy thick coleslaw served in a box. The bread was top quality and the crab plentiful. Whoever is behind this little cafe has thought things out well. Quality food.

We had a table sitting outside by the harbour and enjoyed a very tasty bacon and tomato roll and tea. The bread was good and the bacon excellent. Loved watching the canoeists and boats moving about.

Steak sandwich had chewy meat and little taste. Cole slaw came in a huge glob of mayo. overpriced and poor food, though nice moccasin

Went a few times, great views, recommend the sandwiches and ice cream. Fresh cakes daily, can get busy.definitely will return.

We saw this cafe by chance and what a find. We had the most delicious lobster roll with gorgeous coleslaw. The owner was so friendly. Thank you for the chat and also for the wonderful lunch in the box. Definitely would recommend a visit. Wished...

We visited on a lovely summers day. All the customers were sitting out on the quayside tucking into delicious boxes of fresh food. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was efficient and all in all a very delicious lunch in beautiful surroundings.

Simple eatery with a small menu prepared and delivered with pride by a friendly host. Served in takeaway boxes with wooden cutlery. Fried bass was excellent, as were steak sandwich and crab sandwich. I don't normally like coleslaw but this was really tasty with the...

We wished we'd found this place at lunchtime - the options looked great - but instead we stumbled upon it late afternoon. A lovely place to sit in the sun, boat watch and people watch. Friendly and helpful chap serving, who makes a great cup...

They advertised crab but they didnt have any so chose a £12 lobster roll, the bread was stale the salad was warm and it was NOTHING like a lobster roll bar a bit of meat on a stale panini. For that price the quality was...

Been here before and it doesn’t disappoint. My husband had a steak sandwich which he said melt in your mouth. I had a crab sandwich both meals had side salad and coleslaw, they were very substantial.

My wife and I were staying along the coast near Dinas Cross and came for a wander round the harbour at Fishguard. We had crab sandwiches and coffee here and it was quickly produced, delicious and both staff members were courteous and a pleasure to...

I had the BEST crab sandwich today, in perfect surroundings. Thank you for being part of an awesome experience I won't forget!

A brilliant little café.Stumbled upon by accident,but just the sort of place you dream about finding. Fresh fish at very reasonable prices all served with salad and potatoes and to top it all the homemade cakes and puddings were just outstanding. We sat by the...

Wonderful fresh fish and delicious home made farm ice cream. We had the Sewin (sea trout) which was dish of the day. A rare treat.

We were wandering around admiring the beautiful view along Quay Street, Lower Town in Fishguard and chanced upon Fishguard Bay Yacht Club cafe. Of course we were delighted to go in and order two splendid coffees plus delicious two ice creams (blackcurrant). Very pleasant barista,...

Had great coffee and rhubarb cake, delicious! Service was good and great to sit outside and enjoy the view.

Found by chance, this little cafe served excellent mackerel and seabass. After eating in a couple off respected restaurants in Laugharne, the was the best meal of our weekend away.

A fantastic hidden gem in Lower Fishguard we found on one of our dog walks. Thumbs up for the steak sandwiches and sea bass lunch! They also had ice-cream, milkshakes and cakes. Highly recommend to try it out!

Two young people were a pleasure to meet when we stopped off for a stroll on the harbour. Excellent, friendly and professional service all with a smile. Provided a couple of sausages for our dog and our crab sandwiches were delicious in chunky fresh wholemeal...

Sat outside looking across the pretty harbour. Idyllic lcation, the coffees were very good and the home-made ice-creams were awsome. I'd recommend crystalised stem ginger in a waffle cone. Friendly polite service. What could be better?

We ordered the mackerel, lobster, crab sandwich and macaroni cheese. Just delicious. Kids rated it a 9,10,9 and 10. Speedy service, incredibly fresh and very very tasty. Kids wanted more lobster so we may have to return tomorrow before heading home.

We visited the Yacht Club Cafe and sat outside with a delicious crab sandwich. The crab was super-fresh, the bread was super-fresh too, and the accompanying cole slaw was home made. Perfect!!

I live locally and me and my friends called here for lunch after a long walk along the coast path. We ordered crab sandwiches which had so little crab in we struggled to taste it . Thick granary bread which was fresh and tasty but...

This place is a small cafe near the harbour. We ordered 2 hot drinks and 2 slices of lemon and ginger cake and 2 brownies. Cakes was ok in size and taste although it was pricey at £17

Good coffee and Great bread and dressed salad but let down by only a thin veneer of crab in the sandwich. For £8.50 I would expect a decent wedge of crab.

Happened upon this cafe whilst pootling about and stopped for an impromptu lunch. Delicious lobster salad and crab sandwiches, but the grilled mackerel stole the show! Delicious.No seating inside and all in take out cardboard boxes currently due to Covid-19, but still very well presented, and a decent amount of seating outside considering the narrowness of the quay!

Unassuming cafe on harbour. Beautiful scenery and very accommodating -made me a crab sandwich even though it was not on menu. It was amazing-as good as my nan used to make, fresh, tasty and full of flavour with a dressed salad. Sounds easy but so many places get it wrong. Partner had jacket potato which he throughly enjoyed. If we lived nearer we would visit every week. Friendly happy staff who brought lunch to your outside table. Just the ticket after a four hour coastal walk.

We have used this cafe a few times when down at the quay always a good brew and friendly service. Tables outside during the summer.

It was a very wet morning at about 11.30 am, found the superb little place and sun came out. Great place and recommended.

Called in to take tea and cake, in this lovely small cafe. We were returning from a walk along the coastal path. Friendly service, good value, the lunches including lobster and crab looked good. Please staff and picturesque position.

Visited twice while on holiday and had great food both times. Have a varied menu and lovely lobster. Coffees really nice too. Staff very friendly and helpful. Dogs are allowed in as well.

Fresh cakes to die for and very reasonably priced. Friendly service and a relaxing place for a break

Overlooking a pretty little harbour in Lower Town Fishguard. Coffee sitting in the sunshine was most welcome. The cafe itself is fairly basic, but serves a range of light lunches.

Just had a drink here sitting outside with a wonderful view of the harbour. Other customers food looked well presented and served with a smile.

Very pleasant to sit by the harbour, lovely coffee, nice staff, dog friendly and sells ice cream for dogs ☺

It's quite a charming place Fishguard. Not exactly a major tourist attraction. But a good place for shops and services (including a fantastic independent bookshop). And it was very pretty round by the quay where we grabbed an outdoor seat at this place to enjoy the view. Excellent coffee. And a very delicious crab sandwich from the simple menu. A very pleasant surprise.

Visited the cafe for a quick drink before setting off on the coastal walk. Fifteen minutes later and ten pound lighter wished I'd not bothered. Very expensive for two coffees and a cream scone. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Fabulous location which is the only reason to return to this place. The building is great too and nicely laid out especially if you’re lucky to get a table waterside.

Had a lovely Tea & Coffee in this delightful little cafe on the harbour side in Lower Fishguard. Very nice staff and very reasonable prices. We did not have any food, but it looked very inviting

5 of us popped into the cafe for a quick snack after a great morning's kayaking with Kayak-King. We had bacon rolls and fresh crab sandwiches and both were lovely. Thick back bacon in big crusty white rolls and gorgeous fresh crab sandwiches with a nice light dressing that wasn't too rich and brought out the flavour of the local crab. Food was great and the service was delightful.

We ate here a couple of times during our stay in the village and feasted on the crab sandwiches and lobster. Absolutely beautiful setting and wonderful food, what more could you want? We also borrowed crabbing buckets from them and spent a lovely, sunny afternoon on the quayside trying to fill them!

Visited today and we were left somewhat underwhelmed. I'm hoping it's because we asked for crab sandwiches to take out due to a lack of outdoor seating available and that the standard menu is more satisfying. I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt.

A table for two, the tide in and boats moored, a mackerel salad and pot of tea, sun and shadows, nice young women serving and cooking, a meal that I wished would not end!

popped in for a quick lunch and very glad we did - ordered a cheese salad and ham salad - quality was quite superb on both dishes and great value for money

Great relaxing place, eat/drink inside or on the harbour wall - watch the drop! Friendly happy staff good grub/drinks

Quiet for a Sunday lunchtime 😊. Great burgers and a really nice peaceful atmosphere. Great location.

Very friendly staff that made us feel welcome as soon as entered. We had our 3month old daughter with us and when she needed breast feeding, the staff got my wife a comfy chair, a pillow and a glass of water with us even having to ask. The food was very nice with a decent amount of choice! Really enjoyed our visit and would definitely return

Having arrived in Lower Fishguard, with a group of friends walking from Strumble Head we were really pleased to see the sign for Cafe on the Quay. We had a delicious cream tea, as we relaxed over looking the harbour.

Went here 14th May 19. Really good food. The crab sandwiches and the sausage roll meals are absolutely spot on. The staff are pretty good too, nothing too much trouble.

Small cafe serving local seafood. Friendly service and nicely decorated. Ideal eatery on quayside. Lovely setting. Bit of a ramp at entrance but outside seating available

Arrived at this lovely little cafe on the quay on a Sunday afternoon. They had stopped serving lunch but were fortunately still able to make us outstanding crab sandwiches. The staff were helpful and friendly in every way. Avocado and courgette cake was also really good. We were able to park on the quay but probably easier to park at the car park and walk down (not far)

Lovely cafe, food was fresh and tasty. Lovely carafe of coffee. Staff pleasant and helpful.

After the disappointment of Fishguard I tentatively stopped in the Lower Town and was so pleased I did. The dog had a great walk/swim in the sea and after we stopped at this brilliant place for lunch.

A group of seven of us (4 adults, 3 kids) went in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and they refused to serve us.

Stopped for a cream tea at this gorgeous cafe. Warm and welcoming with an eclectic style. Staff were helpful and happy. Scones were lovely with a generous portion of clotted cream and jam. The lunch menu looked interesting and reasonably priced.

This is a great little cafe to stop for a hot drink while walking along the quay. They are lots of options and the cakes are delicious too.

this little place was a real find we had scones and cram my wife had crab sandwich which was massive it was all lovely, we sat outside and viewed the harbour on a sunny day it was lovely

Great service, friendly reception and an increasing range of good food/cakes. This is a nice place to visit sat in the boat club in Lower Fishguard Town

We live locally and have wanted to pop in to try it out. Eventually we took my elderly Auntie for lunch and my doggy also joined us.

We have wanted a cafe in lower Fishguard for years and this has filled the gap nicely. Often we have found it closed but this year we hit success. Friendly staff with good produce well worth a visit.

The cafe on the Quay is a simple little cafe in a wonderful location, with friendly service and reasonable prices and nice low key (or should I say quay) but nice food. It is just the sort of place that we always hope to find when we want a simple lunch or snack. Highly recommended if you stay in the Solv area, but it is popular so lunch times it can get quite crowded.

First off, the fresh crab sandwich was way above average. However, we went there for lunch, and the menu was rather limited. Also, access to the cafe was VERY limited due to the very steep ramp to the entrance. It seems there is no access for someone with a wheel chair. And, in bad weather it would be a challenge for many people. The decor was I guess quaint, but really shabby rather than quaint. The views and location are tremendous, but I think the interior needs a make-over. My guess is that cost of a make-over is an issue. I like the idea of a friendly, good food, local place and hope that some of the rough edges can be resolved.

We stopped off here for a coffee and cake. The coffee is served in a carafe with small cups which is a great idea as the coffee stays hotter. The cake was lovely as was the scone and cream. Serving staff were polite and friendly. Dog friendly.

Tea served in a generous tea pot and fresh milk, huge tasty crab sandwiches with good friendly service. A great end to our walk and visit to the area.

Called in for afternoon break after reading reviews was expecting something better the service was cold and inviting the drinks were warm and the scones did not seem home baked and was given tub of cream could hardly spread still frozen and seating area basic inviting

We had been to Lower town Fishguard a few times, but never wandered right along the quayside. After an enjoyable stroll we found this lovely little cafe and enjoyed a coffee and a slice of Bara Brith. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and happy to let us sit inside with our little dog.

Charming café for breakfast, morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea with homemade cakes, friendly service and lovely relaxed atmosphere to read the paper and write postcards. Great place to pop in at any time of the day for a drink and/or snack alone or with friends and family. Totally child-friendly and very reasonable prices.

Visited just for tea and coffees with family whilst on Hol in the area. We were intending to visit again for lunch but just didn't get time but we will return next year. Lovely view whilst u sit either inside or out, well worth a visit.

We stopped here whilst on a walk in the area. The staff were very friendly, the food freshly prepared and the location was very pleasant. A great place to visit if you are in the area.
