Castle Inn in Pembrokeshire

Decent food but chaotic service seemingly ill equipped to accommodate 2 parties of 9 and 11 diners confusingly with the same surname. Spoilt an otherwise good family evening.

Cracking pub, lovely place. Food is magnificent. I had the Korean chicken flatbread. My mouth is still tingling an hour later and I can still smell and taste it. Hats off to the chef it’s one of the best meals I ever had. 😋

on our escape from tenby (completely overcrowded with thousands of people because of some festival) we ended up here by chance and were the last to order dinner. We were lucky, because it was one of the best dinners of our whole holiday in wales. flatbread, bbq-chicken, fish, everything was perfect and delicious!!! the castle inn has a nice beer garden and the pub inside is also very nice. nice choice of beers!! the girls & guys who run the pub are a pretty cool young bunch but very professional and superfriendly,. thanks and we hope to be guests again soon.

Had a horrendous stay here. Poor service, shared bathroom. Kettle in room but no cups. No bin in room. Last decorated in the 80s. Checked in with my partner "Oh sorry we have you in a double room" - yeh... it's 2024, we're gay, no need to question us on check-in. Really noisy downstairs in the pub when we were trying to sleep. The chairs scraping and doors banging early Sunday morning. Grim. Avoid as somewhere to stay.

Very busy on the Bank Holiday weekend but the staff did really well. The food looked good and there seemed to be plenty of it on each plate.

Dog friendly pub with great staff and good food.

Brilliant lovely village pub with good service and a lovely beer garden

Am looks lovely...very clean...we got a booking for eight...got food over half hour later...wanted a little more but was told kitchen was closed...we didn't even get a chance to have dessert..staff were so so..stayed a week just down the road but after that we choose to drive to tenby each day for dinner...

Only ate & had a few drinks....The food is amazing mmmmm

In mid-July we hosted a welcome party for our daughter’s wedding at the Castle Inn Pub. What a WONDERFUL venue, and what delicious food!! Amber and her team were a delight to work with, and so thoughtfully put together a canopy in the outdoor garden incase of bad weather, but it was beautiful outside! An excellent evening had by all!

This place was recommended to us. First of all it's DOG FRIENDLY inside and outside. Parking is limited so you have to park anywhere in the village. It is a small pub and a lot of people would walk straight back out. This is a local pub with no frills and not fancy. My drink was a very nice pint, a well maintained cellar. The food was excellent I had the fire bowl very tasty. My partner had Korean flatbed, WOW it was massive again very tasty. 10 out of 10 for the food. It is best if you book because at least five family's was turned away. Forgot to say good price.

Great pub, great staff, excellent food in a beautiful setting, only one flaw... The bed!

Nice stop for food and drink in a traditional pub near the beach

This pub has such a nice atmosphere, it's cosy in the pub, and it has such a beautiful beer garden so rain or shine it has the best. I had some the bbq pulled pork and it was some of the nicest food I've had from a pub. All of the food we got was to die for, and they have its own little pizza parlour! And to top it off its right next to manorbier beach which has some of the most beautiful cliffs and even a castle right on the beach!

Atypical but very pleasant atmosphere. Varied meals and menus even for children

Runs the best open mics on alternate Fridays. Staff are very polite and welcoming. Wonderful warming feel within the pub with a great atmosphere. With the quaint beaches of Manorbier and skrinkle right on its door step. Must visit destination.

Always lovely food. Very busy every time we visit. Friendly staff.Food service is a bit slow .

Fantastic pub with a good selection of drinks including some nice real ales and a very good pint of Guinness. The food was also very good, way better than most pubs serve. If the sun is out they also have a large beer garden and marquee around the back. We were stopping in Tenby which has a good selection of pubs but this was my favourite pub and cheaper than prices in Tenby. 👍

Good beer, good food, nice atmosphere. What else do we need for a happy life.

We went here as a party of 14 on a busy night without a booking, staff worked with us to get us all in with no fuss. The food was great, I had the burger which was cooked medium just how I liked it. Staff very friendly. Small car park opposite.

Lovely atmosphere and great food and facilities

Friendly staff with excellent service. Happy to accommodate complex allergy requirements for our table of 12. Facilities were fantastic and a pleasure to use.

Lovely pub with great food and nice sunny beer garden! amazing chicken burger! :)

Great pub for food, drinks and accommodation. Really cosy and good atmosphere often have live bands!

We only went for a meal, just near last orders for food. Reasonably priced it was still the best meal out either of us have had in a very very long time. Enjoyed the ale too! Thank you. Plus there was a lovely convivial atmosphere, which we could join in with.

Superb food, a real nice change from usual pub food. We had Mexican flat bread and a fire bowl. Amazing flavour and coulour. Well done the Castle inn.

Don’t intend to be mean but from the outside it doesn’t look inviting, however we had an exceptional meal (sausage sandwiches and carrot and ginger soup) and the beer garden out back was very good. We really loved the place.

We ate here a few times during our visit to Manorbier last week. The pub itself is a quaint, cosy coastal village pub. Full of character with lots of little snugs. If you're looking for a big open plan dining room, you won't find it here and I loved that. The food is excellent, not typical pub food. They serve a few traditional dishes and some flat breads loaded with either mexican chicken, pulled pork or Korean toppings. I had the Korean flatbread and it was delicious. It takes a while for the food to come out but it's worth the wait. If you want to eat at 7 I'd arrive at 6, get some drinks, put your food order in and just relax and enjoy your drinks. Portions are big, especially the chicken starter. It will easily feed two. We wouldn't hesitate going back to the Castle Inn next time we're in Manobier

Great dog friendly pub. Very cosy. Enormous food portions

Great old pub with delicious food and good drinks. Fabulous atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Very, very fine place. Enjoyed great food & service, and also the classic / historic ambience.

Classic, quirky pub. Clean, bright, interesting decor. Incredible village too. Authentic, understated, bit grumpy service by one; prompt, thoughtful, good by another. Loved it.

Haven't even left my table and I'm reviewing (I don't review ever)...BEST CHIPS EVER. Rest of the food, Chilli and Korean Flat Bread, A*! Great typical village pub staffed by some the friendliest people in the business. Defo make a visit when in the area

Great little cosy pub. The staff were friendly and the food was great. Busy at times, but we were staying in the village and went in to see if there was any availablity for food that evening. Our second visit over Christmas and New Year while staying in the village & can't find fault. Lovely chilled atmosphere for a nice meal or drinks. Great little pub and worth a visit.

Great local pub, quirky good food I wish more locals were like this.

Nice little pub... dog friendly... quirky decor .. staff and locals, not as friendly as would have expected, but still had a nice time.. music on Saturday nights too

Great pub, amazing food. Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend, not too expensive either.

We always love our visits - lovely atmosphere, great food and good for local music.

Third time I've visited and eat each time I've left happy. Good quality pub grub with excellent specials and burgers.

Open mic last night, good atmosphere.

Lovely place great views of the sea and bay

Lovely little village pub with a great atmosphere. Unfortunately I have never seen such inexperienced and slow staff behind the bar.. Had to queue for 40 minutes just to order a round of drinks. To watch them serve drinks was painful to watch. Service for food was so slow it was quicker for us too get a domino's delivery from Tenby.

Waited over 4 minutes for order to be taken as bar server was cutting limes, no queue, no 'sorry be with you in a minute' just had to wait. (and yes l have worked a bar so l do know its not just about serving the punter) Ordered chilli and have to say this was the most flavourless chilli l have ever had. Partner had the veggie chilli which was slightly better but very watery. Seriously just go somewhere else if you want to eat. Best thing about this place is the outside garden and the cider !!

What a gorgeous little pub. Doesn't look like much from the outside but once you step foot inside it opens up to a really quirky tardis. Live the old put feel and the books and crannys it has. Really loved it here.

The Castle Inn public house in Manobier is a very nice pub. It has a very warm feeling/nice atmosphere/ decent food menu (Not amazing) The Beer garden is quite nice. The main issues with this pub is its staff. It’s run by kids with no idea whatsoever of customer service/very little hospitality experience. Having visited the pub x2 over 2 nights (only because there is no local competition) there were issues on both nights. 1st night ordered food (no cutlery or condiments turned up) then spent 5 minutes at the bar queuing to get this rectified while the food went cold. 2nd night. Turned up for a drink. Sat at a table that was not reserved for later guests. Was here for 45 mins only to be told it was then booked for later guests. Good job we did not want to eat thinking we had a table. Essentially it a nice pub run by inexperienced/unprofessional staff. Then again it maintains the landlords profits no doubt on their P&L.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff, and excellent food. Thank you so much.

Great pub with delicious food and a cosy atmosphere, seems to get very busy so would recommend booking a table.

Sorry but staff abrupt and rude on both occasions we have visited. Would do well to take a lesson from the lovely young staff at the actual castle, who were friendly and helpful. Was going to stay to eat, but surly staff put us off.

Nice location in the village Decent pint of Atlantic Pale Ale Recommended

Lovely pub with great food. Service a little slow but worth the wait! Really nice atmosphere...families and friends. Very companionable. The décor is delightful.

Wr can only some surmise on the Tuesday evening we went they were short of staff, I've never been to a pub in all my years and had to wait in a QUEUE for 20 minutes to get served at the bar! We can say though that the two young personnel that were serving on the bar did one of the most magnificent jobs serving I've seen in 20 years. I think this review should really be about the customers though there was so patient and well-mannered and polite in this very unusual situation

A busy pub in the small village of Manorbier. Has a couple of small rooms for dog owners. The staff work hard and there is good customer service.

stayed the weekend in the keep room at the castle inn, really nice place, good drinks great food, very helpful staff, great atmosphere, brilliant entertainment from the live band Saturday night, would highly recommend anyone to stay there or visit for a drink and try their food, the chips are too die for (100% never change how they're cooked🤤) 1 recommendation I would make to the owners is to maybe put a coat hook on the back of the main entrance door to the keep room to hang a coat over the small window on the main door or a little curtain to draw across the door window, work around we hooked a coat hanger on the door frame to cover that small window, other than that the place was immaculate and lovely would definitely be looking to go back, absolutely A1+, can't recommend it enough 😁😁😁😁 gutted to have to go back to normal life.

Very lively pub, great service, and wonderful food. 5 stars 🌟

Absolutely fantastic family meal today at the Castle Inn. Friendly staff, really tasty food, quick service and quirky pub. Thank you 👏👏👏

What a great place, cracking beer garden and great pint..

Staff were rude and very unhelpful, I was a almost a hindrance to them, stood at the bar for ten minutes the member of staff ignored me then just looked at me I asked to see the pizza menu she just passed them to me and walked off I went to ask a question she continued to walk away and just said Yes to my question, we didn’t order or book a table for the Thursday evening as planned.

Great pub to visit after a trip to Manorbier beach, so cute inside and a lovely aesthetic.

A must try on food! I'm quite fussy but their chips are THE BEST pub chips, which are home made. Also the Kahoona burger is absolutely fantastic! Again home made with really nice ingredients. Quirky mismatching decor in the pub which really give it character. Not a massive pub, but a nice vibe about it. Dog friendly. Friendly staff member answered the phone when I rang one evening and said we were a half hour away drive back to our local accommodation next to the pub and I asked if we could order our meals over the phone, so we didn't miss out on the food cut off time. They were fine with this and saved the day on our evening meal! A couple of small rooms at the front, slightly distanced from the main area, making for a cosy pub feel. Live music on some Friday nights.

We discovered this place last year and loved it then so we decided to go back this year and had just a relaxing experience. We only went in for a few drinks in the two days we visited here (on the first and last day of the holiday week) but loved the calm atmosphere and the beautiful view of the beach that you can get at some angles in the Beer Garden. Inside was well decorated and warm with really polite staff behind the bar.👍

Lovely old fashioned pub, with lots of character. We only stayed for a quick drink after walking up from the beach past the castle. Nice outside seating area , dogs are also welcome inside.

We were really looking forward to our meal at The Castle Inn for my husbands birthday but unfortunately were really disappointed!! We booked a table in advance as we were told they start serving food from 6pm and can get quite busy. On arrival the staff were abrupt, pointing us to the direction of our table in a back room, there were no numbers on the tables so we were not aware that we were sat on the incorrect table. We began eating our food when a very rude member of staff came over and told us we needed to move, a large family then proceeded to stand over us whilst we moved our food over to the table we were suppose to have been sitting on. The family we were next to were extremely loud and we were basically sat on top of them, personally I wouldn’t sit a couple next to a large party in a small back room that was barely sufficient for two tables let alone four!!! We just finished our food before having to leave, we left feeling really upset and disappointed by the service we had received. The staff definitely let this pub down, we will not be returning or recommending this to anyone else!! 0 stars if we could…

The staff were abrupt and came across as rude in general. Asked for a menu and was informed they were only doing pizza, after reviewing the menu we went to order and were told “we’re not doing food tonight for anybody without a booking”. This was clearly not the case as multiple walk ins had been served food before us.

Lovely, quirky little place. Amazed it wasn't much busier. Not a very extensive menu but what they had was really good. Four of us left having had a different meal each and all really enjoyed. Also a very nice pint. We shall return.

Be aware pub doesn't open until 4 pm. We travelled from Pembroke to Manorbier to see the castle and enjoy a lunch. After finally being able to pay for parking in the car park ( that is a story in itself ) we ventured up the hill towards the pub. Imagine our surprise to find it closed at 1:50! Their opening times aren't advertised so I could well believe we weren't the only hungry tourists that had to find lunch elsewhere. This could only happen in Britain.

My hubby & I had a delicious meal, I really enjoyed mine. I was so glad to see 3 mains that were vegan! I had the Fire Bowl with vegetable dumplings, it was sooo tasty!! I had found other pubs had less/limited choice or no vegan option so finding this gem was great. We sat in the garden with our dogs. We had a second meal as a takeaway (our dogs were so tired & needed a rest). Another fab meal. Thank you!! Recommend the food here for sure!!!!

Lovely pub & beer garden, in great location, excellent variety of excellent dishes. Just expect LONG waits for food. It’s worth it - but don’t expect anything less than 1hour.

Always really liked this pub but ate here as an extended family for the first time in a good while tonight and will definitely be doing so more frequently. We all had really delicious, tasty and good value meals. The beer garden is sheltered and sunny. Fab!

Lovely pub great food gets quite busy, so definitely book a table to eat. Food was delicious but a fair wait but worth it .also dog friendly.

Delicious Food.. Quirky pub.. A definite for anyone in the area..

Food was really good staff friendly and fairly priced

Great local pub, perfect for a pint after a beach walk.

Superb place great food and great place for drinks

I love this place. Its quirky and has a fab atmosphere. Good on the young people running it. It's a credit to you all !! The food is excellent and the beer well kept . When the weather is good there's lots of outdoor space. If you can't park on the road, use the car park down the road, plenty of spaces.

A great pub in Manorbier just a short walk up the hill from the beach, (well worth the walk). So good we visited twice in one day 🙂, serving food at lunch and in the evening. The food is some of the best food I've had in a pub recently. The vegetarian food is great and I would recommend the flat breads. There was live music in the evening provided by a local band. In the round I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Small eclectic pub with good food and beer

Came here after a long walk down the coast, really really impressed with this organisation. The staff were so lovely and the food arrived quickly, not to mention its high quality. We absolutely loved it here 10/10 would recommend, it’s also dog friendly.

Lovely food and cider quickly served by friendly staff

Stunning food lovely atmosphere

Called here while camping nearby and must say what a pleasant pub/restaurant. Lovely atmosphere and all different age groups, bar staff were all smiles. Sat in the beer garden as everyone was including myself and my mate in their conversations. Meals looked tasty and popular but had already eaten before visiting. Called in again before leaving campsite and will be visiting again next time in the area

Only had Coffee, was excellent. Pub was clean with well dressed with memorabilia of past History. Person who served us was friendly and polite with a sense of humour. Has rooms for dog friendly. Excellent. Will visit again!

We absolutely loved this little gem which we stumbled across at Manorbier. Quirky and interesting, lovely atmosphere and a great little garden. Food was fantastic. Thoroughly recommend.

We popped in for an early eve meal. Great food at decent prices.

Quirky layout; inside the pub is the main bar and tables with small cosy. A covered outdoor corridor leads to the toilets and a deceptively large beer garden with benches and umbrellas. Lovely atmosphere and food was exceptional. A great find in this small beach side village. Highly recommended

When places become busy, customer service becomes slow. For such a busy venue the parking is not up to it. I'll bet the residents get pretty miffed.

Visited on numerous occasions. Lovely quaint pub, food is amazing everytime.. everything is good on the menu... but more staff is needed on at busy times. Also can get very crowded inside when queuing at the bar maybe table service at busy times. The garden area on the top also lets it down, if it's been raining can get really muddy, some attention is needed to the area. A marquee/tepee would be great addition for outside then everyone could sit out in all weather. If these points were addressd It would be then the best pub to visit in West Wales!

Slightly different to the normal pub menu, I had a fried chicken sandwich which was served with rustic chips and coleslaw, the dressing was peach and chorizo and was beautiful! The rustic bread was also filled with leaves tomatoes and gherkins. Service was friendly only shame was the 45 min wait for food, it was worth it but we didn't have time for dessert as we had a taxi booked. Reflects the good food I guess!

I’ve had two meals here in May with friends and two with my family in August. I was so happy to return as the food is excellent, the beer is great and the staff are brilliant! Big shout to Jack the bar manager and all the kitchen crew! Hope to be back again! Best burger I’ve ever had!!!!

Really wanted to give 5 stars. Superb food (restaurant standard in a pub). Wonderfully eccentric decor. Friendly staff and great service. Let down by loud profanities from local drinkers all evening in front of my children - staff didn't seem bothered. This is not a family-friendly pub but I'd recommend to any adults looking for good craiq and great food (if i were on my own I'd gladly live here...).

Well worth visiting but if you are eating make sure that you book because it gets very busy. The food was very good

Delicious food just a few meters up from the coast path for hikers requiring a good hearty meal. Chicken curry was delicious and the burger was extremely tasty, inside the decor is oldly worldly but really comfortable. The staff are friendly and the young lad bringing all the food out works hard and is a great attentive waiter. Why cant all pubs be like this!

Lovely pub. We were a large family group. Staff really friendly and obliging. Food was very good and everything arrived together and hot! Nice live music, loved it.

I stayed for two nights to attend my friends wedding. Jack and the team were incredibly warm and friendly and went out of their way to make the stay pleasant. The pub itself has a nice intimacy to it, it felt like your local but still open and friendly. The food served at the pub was delicious! The fish and chips were fresh and tasty even amidst a huge group of 30 people. The accomodation was everything you'd need for a short stay and had a cosy homely feel. All in all a lovely venue.

Lovely beer garden after nice day at the local beech 🍺

Ate here last night and had the best burgers and chips we’ve tried. Good service and great food.

Lovely food, kind and efficient staff and a traditional pub which can accommodate your doggie (even if he does tend to sprawl in doorways).

Great place to visit with wonderful pub and beach

Had an early evening meal here Sat in the garden in glorious sunshine. Dog friendly Decent pub food at a reasonable price I had a Greek salad and my partner had the scampi ...both very good We both had a Sharps cider..Didn't know Sharps did cider and it was lovely Recommended!

No slappers…no flake… non existent 👍

A very unique pub with quirky interior..Our meal of pizza was fantastic as were the chips very tasty. Will recommend to others
