Janes of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A wonderful welcome, fabulous breakfast, lovely peaceful garden. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves great quality food and drink.

Lovely cafe where we had a delightful and delicious breakfast. I had the vegetarian breakfast, which includes a homemade vegetarian 'patty' - it was a bit like a slice of nut roast, but it was delicious, and a pleasant change from vegetarian sausages. Plenty of beautifully cooked mushrooms, perfectly cooked tomatoes and eggs, yummy fried bread - crispy, not greasy - and beans; a hit all round. Husband had the large breakfast, which had beans, mushrooms, fried bread and eggs, plus bacon - local, lean and tasty - sausages - meaty and perfectly cooked - plus what, for him, is the highlight of any cooked breakfast - black pudding! Clean plates and happy eaters! Everything was freshly and beautifully cooked. We washed our breakfasts down with tea (me) and coffee (him) - also very good. I wished I'd had room for a slice of homemade cake, as the list looked delicious and inviting - will have to go back some time! Was good to chat with some of the locals who were there too! And then of course, for me, there is the added attraction of the wool shop! An extensive and fabulous selection of yarns, with friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. A real delight of a place.

We loved the food, the shop and most of all the service. They gave us spot on advice and sent us off with full stomachs.

We had a wonderful lunch at this Cafe which is accessed through the wool shop. It was clean and nicely laid out and there was a lovely garden at the back where you can sit. We had baguettes for lunch which were filling and absolutely delicious and served with a side of home-made chutney and coleslaw. The ham was home-cooked and the chutney was so good that we bought a jar. This cafe is a little off the beaten track but I can’t fault the food or service and would highly recommend it.

Went in to see what wool and haberdashery they had and was amazed by their stock. Followed by a lovely homemade and homegrown lunch in the garden. Felt Covid safe and secure, all procedures (hand sanitizer/track and trace in place). Will be returning :)

We sat outside in the lovely garden and had a delicious cream tea. The scones were fresh and served with homemade jam and cream. Lovely wool shop too!

I visited today in search of wool for a new knitting project. The two ladies who run the shop are so helpful and friendly, I wanted some advice about my knitting pattern and they were happy to spend time with me exploring the options. They really know their stuff! The range of yarn is impressive, its stuffed to the rafters!I then enjoyed a pot of tea in the adjoining cafe. Perfect for crafters, locals and holiday makers alike.

My mum and I visited Jane's on a day trip to Fishguard. We both opted for the mackerel pate which was made with freshly caught mackerel and served with toast, a generous salad and a homemade chutney trio. All absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The chef (Jane herself?) was chatty and friendly. Highly recommended for coffee and cake, or lunch. A delightful garden at the rear would definitely have been used had the weather been better.

Der Eingang zum Café geht durch ein kleines Geschäft. Die Räume sind einfach aber gemütlich. Es schließt sich ein Hinterhausgarten an, in dem auch noch einige Tische stehen. Das Personal ist freundlich. Unser Frühstück wurde frisch zubereitet und war sehr gut.

I came here nearly every day of my visit because the food was delicious (the mackerel pâté was divine), and the garden was so relaxing to sit in.I highly recommend this café, the staff are very friendly, the menu has a nice variety and dogs are allowed in the garden.

A great tea room or lunch spot and with the bonus of the craft and knotting shop too - so worth a stop at when in Fishguard or a visit especially (eat and top up on you handicraft needs)

Great little place for lunch and snacks etc. Nice homemade cakes. Can buy your knitting supplies too!

What a lovely place to browse and purchase all my knitting and crochet needs and then have the delight of a relaxing coffee , and cake in very clean surroundings. Excellent service too highly recommended

a craft and coffee shop with free wi fi, not bad for a small place, good coffee and good service. the craft shop had not got what we wanted but could order it.

We went into Janes to get food and coffee but thought we’d quickly look at the wool beforehand. The lady behind the desk assisted me with finding a pattern/yarn of a sweater that was on display. I decided to buy the pattern first before eating and then possibly go back for yarn after (I only had a limited amount of cash and didn’t want them to sell out of the pattern while I was eating). I went to the till and the cashier refused to sell me the pattern on its own as ‘selling me the pattern (which appeared to be for sale?) would cause them to lose money....?, that they’re a wool shop and I can ‘go and buy the pattern elsewhere’ if that’s all I wanted. The implication was I also had to buy the yarn to go with the pattern or I couldn’t have the pattern at all. She was very abrupt and verging on rude and left me feeling really uncomfortable, like I had tried to diddle them out of money or something by only buying the pattern. We left quickly without buying anything or eating. They’ve lost my custom & I won’t be back which is a shame as it’s my local wool shop. Really weird way to do business.

Watch out for the twins serving you. No, you are not seeing double. If you are parking in the car park next door, buy enough time for browsing in the shop.

We drive through Fishguard on route to St Davids frequently but never stop. We decided to stop and see what Fishguard had to offer and we found Janes. A cafe and craft shop selling knitting yarn, haberdashery and craft accessories.

A great welcome. I had the Rhubarb Blackberry and Apple Crumble ,husband had a cheese scone. Top quality. All home made. Just perfect. There are about 2 steps inside.

Every time we are in Fishguard, we're coming here. This year the Bara Brith had won an award so we wanted to taste it. It was really nice! Go in and have a slice! Besides that, the coffee is also very good here!

Janes is located in a very colourful building on the High Street in Fishguard. The 'pavements' on the High Street are very narrow when approaching from the town centre so take care! The café shares the building with a wool shop. With two knitting nuts in our party it seemed the obvious place to stop for lunch. There is a small dining room at the front, another at the back and an attractive garden behind, which looks great for nice weather.

In the same shop as a knitting shop. This is a very clean cafe with very helpful staff. Mushrooms on toast great also Pembroke bacon and eggs on toast.

We stopped here for a spot of lunch before setting off with our dogs for a nice long walk. We had toasted sandwiches, lattes and cake for desserts. It was all absolutely delicious and we were made very welcome in the dog friendly garden. We spent and hour and a half here it was so nice and relaxed. It may not look much from the road but this little hidden gem is definitely worth your time and money. Thanks very much

Lovely lunch, we are all vegetarian (including children aged 9,6 and 4) and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend for lunch in Fishguard.

My family and I, including my 4 month old daughter, arrived in Fishguard for a week's stay in a local...

No sólo puedes conseguir buena comida o un café y un pastel, pero la otra mitad es una pequeña tienda de artículos de camisería.

Parada Regular cuando nos visite Fishguard sirven el mejor chocolate caliente de Pembrokeshire. El personal aquí es muy amable, y el servicio es rápido y eficiente.

Regularmente para el pop de desplomarse. A mediados de febrero nos visitó dos veces. Verás que no es mi primera crítica.

We stopped on a wet day for coffee and ended up having lunch. Lovely choice of food and drink in a comfortable setting. No pressure to hurry and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

Lovely place with really friendly staff and excellent value. Hot chocolate was amazing! Would definitely visit again - a perfect place to stop for coffee if you are passing through Fishguard

The cafe was all but empty on arrival but as we had our puppy with us we sat in the garden because its not a dog friendly establishment.We just received our food and the heavens opened, I had to tie little Pixie up to a table and leave her in the pouring rain, we sat just inside the door but were not even allowed to bring her in while we finished our coffee. The waitress just said "oh they're quite resilient"The cappuccino at £3.95 for a large cup was disappointing, weak as ditchwater!

stopped here for wool and stayed for coffee. service was very good and they were very obliging. i had a smoothie which was excellent.

We visit Fishguard every year and a must do on the list is a visit to Janes of Fishguard. The Restaurant has lovely food and for those interested in craft it is a proper Aladdin's cave for wool and yarn enthusiasts. Jane's has it just right - the hubby can have a coffee and cake in the restaurant whilst the wife can spend time looking at the yarns.

We took friends to this family business for lunch on a wet August day and it was very comfortable, good service, nice furnishings, superb food especially the soup and the cakes! A wide choice and with the added interest of the craft/wool shop attached to the coffee shop.

Even though I do live in the town, this was my very first call to the place, I was surprised by its size, many people in there. The food was very nice, a little overpriced though.

Lovely staff, and lovely food. Saturday lunchtime in sunny Fishguard, we were able to sit outside, and enjoy sandwiches, followed by delicious scone/jam/cream!

Lovely atmosphere here. Great place to meet friends and catch up. Best hot chocolate ever! Delicious.Rea is attentive, friendly and efficient.Favourite coffee shop!

Excellent soup, breakfasts were fabulous. Staff gives service with a smile! Wool shop stocked with finest wools and many craft items. The Cat and Pen know quality!!

Have had coffee and sometimes let myself go with some cake - all served with a smile and all fresh. The atmosphere is pleasant and the place clean, probably why it is so popular. If I have one small niggle, when I have been there the selection of cakes, whilst fresh, has been on the small side.If you don’t know Fishguard, you might not realise that the handicraft front of shop almost, but not quite, hides the cafe but take the plunge - you don’t have to buy the wool!If I have coffee with a business colleague, I usually take them to Jane’s - not been let down yet!Jane’s is one of the reliable ones in Fishguard and will always get my support

I never dissapointed when I go to Janes. Their attention to detail is fantastic. I had the smoked makeral pate, it was very tasty, the fish is caught locally and smoked by Janes themselves, it comes with thin slices of toasted seeded bread, butter salad and two very tasty chutneys. The salad dressing is served separatly. My husband had lasange and said it was one of the best he had had! He has to be careful as I cook lasange at home. But joking apart he said there was lots of meat. The coffee is lovely too and they do green teas. If you are interested in craft take a look around the shop too.

Strongly recommended. We went in for lunch and came out two very satisfied people. Staff worked hard to cater for my partner's food intolerances which was much appreciated. And the mackerel pate I had was great - fish locally caught and smoked.

Lovely omelette, smashing soup, friendly atmosphere. They also sell their own homemade jams & chutneys.

Visited the wool shop and afterwards had lunch there, hot and tasty, my husband had some locally sourced cheeses and we finished off with Welsh cakes and Bara Brith, the latter was warm, served with butter, superb.

A regular stop for my wife and I when we visit Fishguard.Friendly service, great coffee & cake, there is no rush you are welcome to stay as long as you like!

This is a great find with a secret garden round the back, its set out of the way and have to go through a wool shop to find this cafe, which served really great tasting Tea, and Coffee with some snacks too.

The coffee and homemade food was delightful and the two businesses compliment each other nicely. Also, great service and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend a visit!

What a combination! Three of us visited Jane's because of the coffee and excellent home-made cakes. But it is also a craft shop so while my wife and her friend explored the craft area after their coffee and cake, I continued to relax in the cafe with other friends who arrived later.Will return when we visit Fishguard next year.An excellent combination!

Three of us stopped here on our way through yesterday ... We all ate and all had 2 coffees ... Just £20 ... Great value delicious food and fast friendly service ... Highly recommended

We went here mid week and had two meals, two drinks, two desserts and it cost us close to £30 which we felt was a little higher than we were expecting. Everything we had was well presented and delicious but we felt that some items were less deserving of their price than others.

Following a nice lunch of locally sourced vegies and cheese in the walled garden behind the shop I was able to find several items for knitting projects from this surprisingly well-equipped shop. If you love yarns, etc., or just want a quiet break from sightseeing, Janes is the place to head.

We had already checked this place out before visiting, so we were pleased to say that the reviews were correct.We had a very good lunch, freshly made and worth the price (£6 to £7 ). The shop is not huge but even with a pram we were well accommodated. They have an attractive garden with more seating, sadly the weather was not suitable for sitting out. Best of all was the haberdashery connected to the café by a couple of steps. . what a great selection of wools and buttons.Wish we had a shop like this in Surrey!

Just had my best ever cafe /teashop sandwich at Janes freshly baked brown baguette with prawn mayo and a just hardboiled egg, side of homemade coleslaw. Well done Janes - it was delightful!

A delightful venue for a light lunch ort a quick cup of tea with cake, sandwiches are made on the spot while you wait, so almost any combination of filling is possible. A lovely setting inside a wool shop, so you can browse the items for sale after a quick coffee or peruse a newspaper while you have a more leisurely snack.

Can't praise it highly enough. Treasure trove of knitting wool along with large haberdashery section and other craft items.Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Also has its own cafe serving light lunches, cakes etc

Great stop off place staff are wonderful, coffee and cake to die for. With the added advantage of being able to browse the shop.

I stopped in to get warm…and just get a cup of coffee. Decided to eat lunch. What a treat. Had an omelet and it was great. You get to order it with whatever you want. I had mine with Pembrokshire cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and tomato. Came with a nice fresh salad. The coffee was top notch. Service was also up to the rest. Great little lunch place. Glad I stopped there to get warm.

Called in just for a coffee whilst staying in Goodwick for a few days. Coffee was excellent, staff friendly and everything so clean. Also food and drinks reasonably priced. My friends and I (4 of us ) went back a few days later and the waitress remembered all our drinks. That's what I call service. It also has a lovely out door seating area for use in the Summer.

Visited Fishguard for the first time this week and walked past this coffee shop when exploring one of the narrow little streets a short way uphill from the war memorial.The staff where friendly and we quickly found it easy to start chatting to find out more about great places to visit in the surrounding area.Coffee was great so I couldn't resist another... I had the mackerel pate (which was awesome by the way) and was pleased that it comes with plenty of toast to use up the generous portion (I like my food)!I will try and get back here before I leave Pembrokeshire so I can try something else from the menu.

Visited Janes today on recommendation of friends. The welcome was very friendly, the mackerel pate was a good choice for me(served with plenty of toast with tasty homemade coleslaw and chutney), the coffee was great too !

My friend and I called in for lunch whilst on holiday in Pembrokeshire. What a great little place. I chose the homemade mackerel pate which was absolutely delicious. Served with scrumptious homemade coleslaw and their homemade bean chutney. Meals are freshly made while you wait.I would definitely call in again, great service, wonderful homemade foods, good value and friendly staff. There is also a great range of craft and knitting items.

Visited Jane's on a very wet day with my grandchildren, didn't really feel it was child friendly, two of the young staff seemed nice enough, as my granchildren are 3 and 2 years of age, asked if they could split the hot chocolate in half and make it a bit weaker, no problem there but on checking my bill later, as I thought for what we had was a bit pricey, noticed that the other lady had in fact charged us full price for the half cups of hot chocolate...............Won't be visiting this place again in a hurry.

Arrived after long train journey for my holiday and needed something special and tasty. I also do a lot of crafts. I have to avoid cakes due to being on a diet, but had a lovely toasted sandwich and organic milk shake. Quaint

Got recommended to go here by friends who have previously been there. More than it seems on the outside with a lovely garden at the back we were able to take our dog in which is a great benefit for us. Decent coffee and great home cooked food followed by yummy cakes. The range of craft and wools they stock is unbelievable, just wished we had more time to look. A pleasant shop and friendly staff.

Janes is brilliant for all crafters projects. Well stocked with wools, cottons, buttons, ribbons, threads, knitting needles,sewing needles, all manner for creative crafters.

Stopped here in July for a welshcake and coffee whilst staying nearby. The food and service were ok, but nothing special. I browsed the small collection of walking and tourism booklets noticing that one of the twin sisters was watching me, but thought nothing of it, then left. Had only gone a few yards when she came running after me saying she couldn't find the booklet about walks in the area that I had been looking at i.e. implying that I had stolen it. Feeling extremely upset, I went back to the cafe and pointed it out to her. I had to demand an apology before she would say sorry. Obviously I didn't go there again! They certainly need to improve their customer service skills if they want to attract tourists, but maybe their aim is to keep it a local shop for local people.

Good decent basic food, clean and friendly service, nice cuppa tea and also great place to browse for knitting patterns and all sorts of sewing bits and pieces.

A great place for lunch, morning coffee or afternoon munchies. Their scones with cream and jam and delicious - light and fluffy and not overly sweet. The service is friendly as are the local customers. When the sun shines you can eat outside in the garden - we were lucky and it did.Home-made cakes, good coffee, nice lunches - and if craft stuff is your thing, you can browse their excellent embroidery and knitting materials - as the shop combines these with their excellent coffee shop. You'll meet locals here as well as visitors - everyone seems to know Janes - with very good reason.

We love this little coffee shop which serves all the usual beverages as well as a good selection of delicious cakes.You can indulge inside or outside (if the weather is kind) and enjoy plenty of good banter and chat if you are so enclined. Clearly this cafe is well frequented by locals.It is doing very well.Do not get lost -if visiting you have to get in via a needlework/wool/craft shop who stock all sorts of useful items if you enjoy sewing/knitting.We love the place !

This is an excellent haberdashery and coffee shop. They serve wonderful salads and homemade cakes, the service is efficient and friendly. It is always full of local people. I love it.

Very good cafe in an interesting setting - inside a very well stocked wool shop. Polite and helpful staff. Homebaked goodies.

What a lovely place with excellent customer service and home made food. The cafe was busy on our arrival but we were treated like the only customers in there. Our food arrived quickly and was really tasty at good value. Our kids really loved the smoothed which was a nice change from the normal fizzy drinks. I would and will be visiting next time we are in Fishguard.

Best scones in town. Imagine a perfectly cooked scone served with lashings of cream and delicious rasberry jam............... mouthwatering and enjoyable. Yes that is what is served at Janes

We are locals and I have shopped in the wool/craft shop many times over the years, but we had not eaten in the café before. The actual café is very attractive, with a lovely garden (too cold and wet for us to venture out there on that day). We were met with friendly staff, quick service and a good menu. We chose a baguette and a sandwich, both of which were stuffed with fillings, presented well and came out to us quickly. We would definitely return when in the area again.

I really wanted to like Jane's because I like the idea of a knitting cafe. However, I was very disappointed with my lunch. I ordered a toasted sandwich and while I waited for it, I could hear the sound of a knife scraping off burnt bits from toast. It came out and sure enough when I turned it over, there were big black bits on it. There is no way it should have been served to me like that. It tasted greasy too, as if the bread had been dipped in oil and fried. It was burnt black and generally not edible. As I was in a hurry I ate some of filling without the bread. The girl seemed surprised that I would complain about it and said she didn't think it was burnt when she served it, just a bit crispy! I nearly fell over in shock, particularly as I could hear her scraping the burnt bits off trying to salvage it before serving it to me. To be fair, they did not charge me for the toastie but it was not a good experience and I'm not sure I'd go back. The Welsh tea was good though and the cafe itself is really well kept, very clean and fresh. I think it would be a good spot for tea and cake but avoid the toasties!

We call here whenever we are in the area. The cafe shares an entrance with the wool shop, but the coffee is good, the cakes are lovely and there's a warm welcome. We had the cheese, olive and sundries tomato scones which were amazing, and the homemade soup was tasty too. Highly recommended. The wool shop is great too!
