Forbidden Florist in Pembrokeshire

The food here was the best I've had in a long time. We had the smash burger and the chicken burger and swapped chunky fries for skin on fries. Absolutely delicious, we couldn't stop ooing and ahing the whole meal. Burgers came with an onion ring, side salad with tasty dressing and small pot of coleslaw. So good I might go again tonight! Finally our waiter was charming, I wish I could remember his name.

Hattie was an amazing server, went out the way and provided an amazing service!!

The best Sunday dinner, had it a few times and always so tasty and delicious every time! Can not fault it! Fast and efficient service Thanks guys 💕

Charlie our waitress was absaloutley amazing. Made us feel so welcome. Deserves some recognition she went above and beyond for us really highly recommend this lady to be your waitress!!!!

Found this little treasure by chance , whilst staying Slebech Park. All i can say is WOW 👌 the place is beautiful. The staff are all polite , friendly and extremely attentive. We came from Bridgend ( wish we had them back home ) We took a chance on a walk in , it was about 6pm. Thank goodness we did. We had short rib , Duck for mains , millionaire , and crumble for deserts. Could not fault any of it. All 4 of us were in food heaven. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you to ALL the staff for making a wonderful night. X

Quirky, friendly and a feast for the senses. Amazing place, lovely food, excellent prices and family friendly. Definitely visiting again.

Friendly staff, lovely ambience

Fantastic food, service and ambiance. We have visited several times and always love it. Such an asset to have somewhere like this in Pembrokeshire.

Great place, food excellent, staff first class and lovely surroundings. My steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, excellent value for money

Very clean and smart venue. Food was casual but very tasty Price was good Waitress and waiters very helpful Nice place for evening as well

The staff are very kind and very helpful I would definitely like to work here one day love the place it makes me feel nice and calm amazing style keep it up ! 👍

Absolute A* for effort on last nights service... From start to finish the service was above and beyond, from the table service to, helping us find the owner of a car blocking the only wheelchair access to the site to staff going outside to help direct my parent around the building 🙏🏻😁... Cocktail menu on point 👌🏻 The food was so good I forgot to take photo, but I highly recommend the short ribs,insane 🤯, also you might think the starters are bit over priced compared to normal but your wrong, because the quality and quantity was on par with price point, highly recommended the camemert sharer, halloumi fried and tempura prawns. Sadly we didn't get to try out and desserts as we had birthday cake but the list looks delicious. Thank you for making our night forbidden florist, until next time 😊👏🏻

Great meals inviting atmosphere and caring staff make this restaurant a gem

The food was delicious and the high quality customer service smile more cocktails, The choice was very good. Sumptuous

This is the second time I have been to FF and it was equally as good as the first time. I went on a works event the first time and with a friend the second. Food was lovely, atmosphere was great and attentive service. I'm looking forward to going back.

A real Pembrokeshire gem! Lovely food, delicious cocktails all with a very professional but friendly service & such a beautifully decorated interior! Love it!

Really nice meal … went early so it was quiet but started filling up as we left .. this was a Wednesday I think.. service good.. food I’d really good enjoyed Caesar salad and port belly .. worth a visit .. not extortionate but not the cheapest either .. £60-65 quid with a shared starter and a bottle of white ..

We had a nice birthday dinner there. Food was nice and staffs werr friendly too. The atmosphere was stunning 🤩

It’s a lovely place and the staff are very kind and nice and the way they did the place is amazing 5 stars 👍🏻

Sunday lunch was great. Lovely flavour and plenty of veg. Service was great as well. Friendly helpful staff lovely atmosphere and very clean premises

We visited for Sunday lunch and were really impressed! We weren’t sure if it would be a ‘style over substance’ kind of place (the decor is an instagrammer’s dream!), but the food was super tasty (good size portions too) and staff were friendly. It is more expensive than other local restaurants, but we felt like the price matched the experience. Would definitely visit again!

Outstanding quality. Great atmosphere. Something for everyone. Can't wait for the new menu next week.

A little more up market, decent menu and great drinks. We've been a handful of times and always enjoyed it.

What a beautiful place and a great location. The staff were really friendly and the coffee and cocktail were all tasty.

Lovely food and friendly staff, really nice evening. Really impressed by the cocktail making as well. All in all a great night.

The pancakes with bacon and maple syrup were so good! Everyone enjoyed their meal and would highly recommend it,

Visited on a busy Saturday night, service was great but the team looked incredibly busy throughout. The pork belly was good but fairly dry so could do with more of the sauce, the chicken curry was okay, not hugely flavourful. Overall a good meal and the atmosphere was lively, however I think a few small tweaks could be made to bring the restaurant up to a 5⭐️ as it seems more thought has been put into the decor than the food itself

Lovely spot. Never disappoints! Excellent food and excellent drinks, attentive and friendly service.

Beautiful decor.. we only stopped for drinks but a lovely touch with the added little welsh cake.. will definitely return !

A nice place to eat. Had an evening meal. Food was good (sea bass and burgers) and it was good value. All the staff were very pleasant.

Unique fun eatery. Good choice of meals to suit all tastes. Great cocktail and drinks menu too. Plus ,special days/meals on different week days

We absolutely loved this place, the food was delicious, the cocktails were amazing and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend more. We took our puppy with us and they were really accommodating. Great rest

We visited the restaurant for the first time on a Saturday night which probably wasn't the best time to visit as it was very busy. Between the four of us we tried ribs, sea bass, scallops, belly pork, shrimps and puddings. The menu is varied and interesting and I guess you could call it Mediterranean. Taste, portions and presentation was good. The only downside was that the service was slow and this extended the evening far longer than we wanted.

Very friendly staff, food was amazing, the restaurant is very good, with 4 birdcage style booths hung with flowers and tables and more booths around the edge.

Decent but quite expensive breakfast.

I took my friend out for a birthday lunch. We had a lovely time lovely food and service. Cocktail was amazing. Weather was lovely so they partially opened the roof 🌞 Looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended.

Had a lovely evening . Fabulous venue and staff were excellent however the cocktails are a rip off. Basically you are paying £10 for a glass of ice!!

Really good night Great food and cocktails Friendly staff The girl who sat us was very nice when we asked if there was a table rather than high stools and found us a table very quickly

The decor and the atmosphere make this place really special, but the food is also great! A level above pub food but still crowd pleasing. The presentation of the food and drink is done well too, the kids loved the mocktails! The staff are friendly and efficient too. Definitely coming back!

I have wanted to go for a while and it certainly didn’t disappoint, me and my friend went for the bottomless brunch, the food and cocktails were fabulous, the staff very welcoming and pleasant, couldn’t do enough for us, and the decor was amazing for those extra special photos, making memories 🍹 🥂

A fantastic restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. The vegetarian food is fantastic.

On the spur of the moment, light lunch. What a lovely place to eat. Right on the river, sun shining, cold beer, great food, excellent company, and a fabulous server. We loved the experience. Definitely coming here again, in fact we have made plans to eat here in the evening next week. The food is amazing, so tasty and arrives piping hot. We has the parmesan and truffle chips and the mushrooms... oh my... :0) Great choice and reasonable price. 10/10

Our family are regular attendees and are yet to have a bad experience. The Food is always of a high quality and plenty of it. It has a bustling atmosphere which is just right, not to loud but not to quiet. The service is always great, tonight we were served by Rebecca but all the other staff are just as pleasant and helpful. Overall a great dining experience.

Outstanding service and cocktails from Rihanna on the bar. Great welcoming bar and great cocktails. Would return next time for food

Had a great Sunday roast here and the staff were great too.

The food was incredible, the atmosphere perfect, and the team were attentive and efficient. I honestly can’t fault it, best thing to happen to the town centre here for a long time.

We visited on holiday in West Wales and had a fantastic evening. Gorgeous, fun decor and the food was delicious - great steak, tasty pork burger with sides well done. Their sticky toffee pudding was incredible, the best I’ve had in years, and my husband really enjoyed the frozen millionaires shortbread. The team went above and beyond - we’d got a flat tyre just as we arrived and not only did we get a great meal out but Becca the hostess also sorted several mechanics locally to help us out, looked after us charging our phones and making sure we still had a fun night despite the chaos. I’d really recommend this restaurant, the staff really care and provide a great service.

Excellent time had with family, party of 10 including 4 kids (7 to 13), service was excellent with very friendly and attentive staff. Great selection of food and drinks. Would certainly recommend.

Me and my partner came in for a bottomless brunch for my birthday and I can’t fault it at all it was amazing, the two staff that were servings us are so friendly and welcoming, the place is stunning also! We both had the smash burgers for food and it was delicious! And we both had bottomless and the staff were always on top of making sure we had a drink and the drinks were amazing too! Overall it was the best bottomless brunch I’ve had in Pembrokeshire! And we will definitely be coming back to try the steak night soon ☺️!

Nice looking place but the food was a bit underwhelming. The veggie ciabatta was good but the steak was a bit overcooked.

Great food , lovely ambiance and excellent service . Went here for dinner one evening while in the area to visit Skomer Island. The decor is lovely and very inviting. We found the food to be very good and the icing on the cake was the lovely waitress that looked after us (Ri) as she could not have been more welcoming or friendly. Overall a lovely evening and well worth checking it out

Excellent service from waiting staff, in particularly the guy with a goatee who impressed us with his ability to remember 8 different food and drink orders without writing it down! Didn't forget a thing! Really friendly staff, didn't wait long for our food to arrive and we were frequently asked if everything was ok or if we needed anymore drinks etc. A fantastic choice of venue for celebrating my birthday and we will all definitely return. Thank you for a great evening.

On a day trip to Haverfordwest we came across this place just 30 mins before we were due back on the bus when we were walking along the riverside so only had time for a drink. It just blew us all away with it's fabulous and stylish decoration so we had to go in, if only for a drink to enjoy the ambiance of the place. We had a very warm welcome and wished we had found it earlier to have had our lunch there. Sadly this place is on it's own and a one off so not part of a chain as it would be a very well addition to any town and would be very successful and add to the visitor numbers of any town and it would not out of place in any of the country's big cities. In effect, it deserves to be better located than in Haverfordwest which is not any sort of a memorable town and the only reason I would go back is to visit Forbidden Florist. Consequently, I'm spreading news of this hidden gem to all of my friends on Facebook as it truly deserves to be elevated in the category of places to eat and drink for being so fabulous.

Came with our 2 grown up kids to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. With 2 GF people it could have been a challenge, but the food was amazing, and everyone was catered for wonderfully. The GF Burgers were excellent and the effort that went into making the floater coffee was amazing - great job to everyone. Our server was lovely, nothing was too much trouble and she was very knowledgable. I liked the fact that all the staff were talking to each other and seemed really happy with the vibe. It was packed with people from all age groups and overall the experience was very good. Will definitely be coming back!

From the moment you walk in you are greeted and served by the friendliest staff ever. Attentive, polite, engaging and food was bloody awesome. What more can you ask for!

Trip to Pembrokeshire all the way from Minnesota, USA. This is the best place we visited. Lovely, beautiful restaurant, food was amazing but the staff topped it for us. Oliver and Chad were tremendous and are an absolute asset to the establishment.

Wonderful evening, the staff were amazing and so friendly, especially Grace and Becky, the food was fantastic and we had a brilliant evening - highly recommended

Fantastic Sunday lunch last week with my daughter. Generous portions and beautifully cooked. The service was excellent and really made it a lovely experience. My daughter and I can't wait to come back.

My husband and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary with a meal at this exquisite restaurant. The ambience of the place is stunning. Our table which had stunning views over the Cleddau River was styled in a birdcage setting beneath a floral tree. The waiter named Shaky treated us like royalty and the sumptuous meal was certainly fit for the king. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! Thank you Forbidden Florist for making our anniversary meal a memorable occasion. Marion and Allen Jackson

Last night we celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary with a meal at this exquisite restaurant. The ambience of the place is truly stunning! with tables set in birdcage style booths surrounded by flowering trees. We were served by a charming waiter called Shakey who treated us like royalty and the food was certainly fit for the king. I cannot recommend this exquisite restaurant highly enough! Thank you Forbidden Florist for making our special day unforgettable! Marion and Allen Jackson.

Absolutely fantastic birthday meal for our nine year old daughter!! The dinner was tremendous and the staff went way above and beyond with a birthday cake which made our daughters day Fantastic venue, decoration, food and staff well done on a brilliant service. Cheers guys

We visited this restaurant on a weekend trip away and it did not disappoint! They have thought of everything the decor is gorgeous! Food was amazing, huge portions and amazing value for money! The only criticism we have is that the portions were maybe a little too big, we were hoping to do the 3 course Sunday lunch but had no room for dessert. Cocktails were fantastic and made by “shaker” who was very attentive, made us feel extremely welcome and ensured we had everything we needed☺️ Would highly recommend this little hidden gem to anyone visiting Haverfordwest😍💐

Excellent, reasonably priced food in a very attractive and quite unusual environment. The waiting staff couldn't have been more helpful, the food arrived piping hot and in good time. The whole experience was most enjoyable. I would highly recommend the place, and will return to sample different items on the interesting and varied menu.

Can not fault our dining experience. Great food at good prices and excellent service. Well done, we will be returning to try the rest of the menu!

Absolutely an amazing place, can't wait to go back for another bottomless brunch. Really good atmosphere.

We had a fab time celebrating my daughter’s 18th birthday, service, food & cocktails were fantastic! Thank you so much for a lovely time, would definitely recommend.

Best Sunday lunch in Pembrokeshire by far. Large portions, super tasty food. Excellent staff, service fantastic!! Beautiful atmosphere 👌 😍

Lovely meal, drear menu, stunning restaurant and friendly staff, highly recommended, will be back again soon, Thankyou

Just left. Been in with 12 mates, Tayler and the rest of the team were amazing Really good value for money in beautiful surroundings. Thank you so much to all of you.

Fabulous afternoon with a group of friends. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was exceptional as were the cocktails.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night!

Had a wonderful afternoon at the Florist. 18 females celebrating a friends birthday. The atmosphere was wonderful, food was excellent as was the service - a big thank you to our very attentive South African waiter(sorry didn't get his name) who went above and beyond to make our experience so enjoyable. We will be back !

Lovely restaurant and atmosphere. I came here with a friend and our toddlers. Our main server was very attentive with the children, providing extra pillows to ensure they were comfy in the high chairs, which was a lovely touch. She also came over to play with them when they were getting impatient and restless. Brilliant service 😊

First time here after hearing great reviews of the place and we weren't disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and the decor was refreshingly different to what you normally find in a Haverfordwest eatery. Very friendly staff, attentive and chatty and even gave us more bread to eat with our starter without charging us for it. Food was well presented, really tasty and value for money. Good variety on the menu and nice to see so many 0% alcohol drinks.

An elegantly decorated place. The washrooms are clean, and like the whole restaurant carries an elegant and chic feel. We were served drinks very quickly but the main meal took a little bit longer. All around the service was amazing and such a relaxed atmosphere throughout. Lots of deals throughout the week too bar saturday! Definetely coming again!!!

We came here for a Sunday lunch on Mother’s Day. We all had a lovely time! The service was really friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Generous portions and all cooked to perfection. Can definitely recommend the pork belly bites as a starter, in particular! The free glass of Prosecco for the mothers was a lovely extra touch! The flower themed decor throughout the restaurant is impressive and there was a great atmosphere with a buzz.

Food quite good however its the ambiance and decor that certainly makes this place

Had a fantastic lunch here today. I had the Caesar salad that was one of the best I've had. The staff were attentive and friendly. I can't wait to come back and try the cocktails!

The decor and cocktails were absolutely fantastic. But the same can't be said for the food or the service. The pea tagliatelle was the most bland thing I've ever eaten, and the poached eggs were overcooked. We waited 10 minutes to be seated while the waitress chatted with her friends, and our food took over 40 minutes to come. If you want good drinks with friends, it's definitely worth the trip, but avoid the food.

Four friends celebrating a birthday. We had a lovely meal. Olives and chorizo bites were a yummy appetiser. The pork belly was excellently cooked. The piri piri chicken was delicious and the cheesecake and ice cream finished the meal off brilliantly. We enjoyed trying 9 different cocktails and mocktails between us, all looked amazing and tasted even better. The lady who served us was so lovely, friendly and helpful. We will hopefully be able to return soon. 😀

Beautiful surroundings delicious food, bit chilly when sitting close to the window though. Waiter attentive friendly and professional. Thanks for making our special night enjoyable.

First visit after hearing great reviews, did not disappoint venue is quirky and unusual. Service and food was top notch - will definitely be going back soon.

What can I say. It was brilliant. Amazing place. Service great. Above all the food we had a Sunday roast and it was Probally one of the best we’ve had. It was awesome. Thank you we will be back.

Staff here are lovely and Shelly in particular was really helpful and always made sure we had a drink in front of us! Bottomless brunch food is great and the price for it makes it even more better! Only thing I wish was that cocktails like strawberry daiquiri and such was included in the bottomless brunch but you can still order these cocktails alongside your bottomless brunch!

Had an incredibly good time here. Superb food and great service! Loved the cocktails and our server Rhiannon was attentive and lovely! Can't wait to go back!

Went for the bottomless brunch and was brilliant... was served by Shekhar and he was great. Kept the drinks coming, recommended us drinks to try, was very welcoming and just an all round top guy. Had the steak and frites and it was delicious. A very clean, beautiful establishment. Would recommended to anyone 👍🏻 Thanks guys

Beautifully decorated the food was amazing it came in a reasonable amount of time and hot , the staff were friendly and professional. Could have had a special brunch menu for Valentine’s Day that would have been nice but the food we had was great!!

A wonderful building, congratulations to the owner and designer! Such an asset to Haverfordwest. The food was lovely and at a fair price. Service was extremely friendly.

Great venue staff polite and attentive my second visit this time for lunch it didnt dissapoint will be back again soon maybe to try the sunday lunch.

went for our foster child 15th birthday , they were very welcoming and professional even when faced with a gaggle of giggling girls !!!! food and service were excellent and very prompt sang happy birthday when they brought out the cake !!! cant praise enough and a fabulous asset to the town cant wait to return ,this time with more adult company Thank you for making a young ladies birthday fabulous

Amazing Bar, beautifully decorated with comfortable spacey seating areas. Staff were super friendly and management helped us move our table and drinks from downstairs to upstairs (Eddie Rocks). It was January so not super busy but our group wanted just a nice surrounding. Bar staff Shaker was brilliant and even helped out on some alternative music for our group. Overall a brilliant night. Eddies was a young crowd compared to downstairs. Bar served us alcohol (spirits) by the bottle reasonably priced.

I have been here a few times and I have a great time every time. The food, drinks and service is always A1. It’s got a great ambience with beautiful decor. Very Pinterest worthy.

We needed a special venue for my daughter’s 18th birthday and that’s exactly what the forbidden florist was.. and more! The staff were super helpful and friendly and the food was 10/10. We will definitely visit again! Thank you FF x

Absolutely outstanding environment, known Mark and family for years, and every business is outstanding. The service, atmosphere and food is 100%... Highly recommended

I don't usually do reviews , but on this occasion I am as the food was amazing , service was fantastic , and we had a lovely time . Our booking was after 7pm and it was lovely being sat in one of their very nicely decorated 'bird cages' . Definitely would recommend and you will be seeing me again . Xx

Much better than last visit, service was exceptional and though portions were small, food was delicious. We all cleared our plates instead of me leaving and wasting food like I do normally

The first time to visit. So impressed, great service, food and attending to detail. I would fully recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be visiting again. A real gem in Haverfordwest

My son took me here for my last night with him over the festive season before I flew back to Spain. The first impression from entering to my leaving was exceptional. The food, ambiance, friendly staff was fantastic. A great place for a special evening...

A gorgeous restaurant perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Cocktails are also gorgeous with plenty to choose from too. Staff are very friendly & efficient and made our experience very welcoming. Would 100% recommend.
