Lydstep Tavern in Pembrokeshire

Great pub, food was very good and fairly priced. Dog friendly and very genial host.

Very impressed. Reasonable priced tasty food. Fast and friendly service. Lovely very pretty beer garden. Highly recommend

Unfortunately it was a busy night with most tables already booked.

Great food, huge portions, friendly staff. A bit slow but we had ordered many things.

perfect little Tavern they host3d for 12 of us in short notice and nothing was to much loved this place going again most definitely

Poor service and poor value for money in terms of food. Wouldn't recommend.

Great local pub. It was very busy when we went but the staff were excellent despite being rushed off their feet. The beers and food were all of a good standard and we really enjoyed the Tavern. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Lovely Pub/Restaurant situated on the road to Manorbier In West Wales. We have stopped here a couple of times over the years and had good experiences every time. Food was great with 2 Pizzas, a Lasagna and a Kids meal ordered. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere means we will stop here again. Good parking available here as well.

We were staying a mile or so away from this pub which looked quite nice on the outside . There is parking opposite. Sadly the inside is dire it looks and feels very much like a pub from the 1970's with dark wook tired furniture and a ghastly floral red carpet. The pub is divided into a restaurant and bar although when we arrived a large family was eating in the bar .

Was on holiday in Tenby/Wales last week from Birmingham. Couldn’t really find anywhere open as it’s a small place. Rang this place on the off chance and spoke to Jack who told us to come down. Great impression and lovely little place so re-visited for steak later in the week. The food is brilliant. Please ignore the reviews saying otherwise as it is 100% incorrect. For those who have complained about it looking “tired”. This is an old world original pub building setting and is supposed to be like this.. As for price, I think it is very fairly priced especially in today’s economy. My recommendation is to choose the rump steak 16oz with a pint of draught icebreaker!

Great pub food in the beer garden, which was a little untidy.

Omg! What a beautiful meal, my husband and I had the 16oz rump! Wow! Bloody beautiful 😍 couldn't fault it at all. Staff were unbelievable, so friendly. We were on holiday from South Wales and I'd definitely visit again. xx

Really nice pub used the Pembrokeshire coastal path to walk there from The Penally area and it was definitely worth it, really friendly staff, good prices and amazing food (we had the lasagne and the lysdtep burger) will definitely visit again with the chance! :)

Food was good but food did take an hour or more to get to us. It was busier then usual so it wasn't a big deal.

Tired, drinks expensive compared to nearby pubs. We ate there could hear the microwave working overtime.

Lovely little pub with an enclosed beer garden, lush Sunday lunch. Beer a bit steep but I blame COVID 😂🤷

Poor service, the bar staff were all really young and inexperienced, didn’t have a clue what they were doing. The food was awful, I have a 2 month old sandwich in my car that I would’ve preferred to eat. Don’t recommend

Lovely Beer Garden where we enjoyed a well presented meal on a warm evening.

Food was lovely and filling shared a desert which was lush too, staff were all very friendly - did have to ask for cutlery for our dessert but not a big deal, would go back

Ordered the sweet and sticky bbq pizza and have honestly never had such an awful pizza ever!!!! Crunchy cheap tasting base with undercooked very messy cheese and a bottle of bbq sauce tipped over the top!!! Absolutely awful, so bad we gave most of it to the dog!! Don't waste your money at this place as the customer service was very poor when we told them we wasn't happy with our meal, no apologies, just a bad attitude!!

Seemed like a nice pub and a nice guy behind the bar untill I realised that I was charged £2.50 for the gravy to go with my chicken meal !!!! What’s that all about.

Food good value, only complaint was the service, she was not organised. Everybody had food before the cuttery was brought out. Infact everyone had to ask for knife s and forks, also her hair should be tide up as it was very long and she was fiddling with it. Also no WiFi available for customers, and no mobile on ee, so WiFi is crucial. Only opens at 4, which is strange, missing the lunch ground.

A great and friendly pub with a great teem the food is honist and filling

Ordered Broccoli bake didnt eat it, hard, no taste. Just a dish of veg watery sauce and cheese topping.

Foods was good, Service was not good, food came, sat there waiting for knives and forks, salt and vinegar, 2 girls, both with long hair, especially the one, playing with her hair a lot and then carrying food out, from a food hygiene standard should be tied up, knives forks and sauces should be laid up before so you can eat your food rather than sitting there waiting, don't think you should have to ask for knives and forks, Toilet don't look like they been cleaned, staircase certainly not been cleaned for weeks by the looks of it,

Got all the way there, and it was closed !!!

Great little pub in Lydstep. Food was good, the peroni on tap tasted amazing. It was very quiet there today but it had not long opened.

Lovely country pub, had a homemade pizza which we really enjoyed. Consumed in there pleasant garden.

Lovely pub, will be visiting again

Lovely friendly staff . Nice food . Takes dogs in the bar . Only down side no baby change facilities. But would go back

Lovely staff and host at the bar, the food is outstanding. Portion’s are massive! Lovely location and dog friendly too x

Lovely, spacious, dog friendly country pub. Menu has quite a few options, the vegetarian options were good and well portioned. Staff seemed all quite young but did a good job all around! Recommend stoping over if you're in the area.

We waited in the carpark for 10 minutes at midday, having checked their website and Facebook, both said open at midday. But no sign of anyone, no lights on, door shut. We were going to have lunch here on the way to Tenby for an early afternoon appt. Gave up and went elsewhere.

Don't know, never been as it was closed when we called there!!!

What a warm and friendly place to eat the food was cooked to perfection and a fantastic selection of drinks my children cleared all their plates and that was a first for me Would certainly recommend this place for a great family meal

Great service, friendly and accommodating.

Lovely pub . Was very busy and only one young lady behind the bar . Waited too long to get served the 2nd time ,so left and went to another pub down the road .

We ate here on our first night in Lydstep. The food was lovely and a reasonable price. Very quick service and lovely staff. We had the takeaway pizza on our last night as well. All very good.

Booked a table for Saturday evening. Reviews were good, nice location Lovely beer garden, friendly staff. Upon arrival we were told they had no steaks or gammon as the butcher's hadn't had their order in Sat at our table inside. Huge queue at the bar. When the queue started to die down we realised people were ordering at the bar so we asked what the procedure was. We were told the waitress would take our order. Fine. Then discovered no beef burgers or BBQ pizza on top of the steaks and gammon. Ok. All finally ordered. Drinks sorted and then they came over to say no lasagne so some of the party had to choose something else This was getting a bit silly now. Reluctantly ordered something else from the very minimal menu. Considered leaving but decided to stay as we were starving. Food was fine. Standard pub grub. The half chicken and gravy was a hit. Kids loved the nuggets. Shame about the choices. A few other people left because of the lack of choice. Probably wouldn't go back in a hurry but only in case there was a repeat incident.

Lovely pub very pleasant beer garden lovely food .not sure if the young staff were related to the owners but they were an absolute credit to you they were so calm and efficient friendly and good sense of humour such a pleasure to experience in young people x

It was like some bizarre reality show where they get a bunch of children to run a pub, I don't mean that the staff were young I mean they were children, the lad who took our order couldn't possibly be old enough for high school although he was lovely, I think the two girls who brought our good and drinks over were about 12, there was one 18 year old behind the bar saying she was the only one old enough to pull pints, the other teenage girl who was apparently not old enough to pull pints was old enough to open bottles of cider and hand them over. The food was ok but not what was on the menu and not what I wanted. They were trying really hard bless them all but where the grown ups, it was Saturday night and heaving.

Lovely food but quite expensive .staff were lovely too ☺️

Bar staff friendly . Food was below average , had chickenand chips. chicken was dry , charged £2.50 for gravy which had no flavour , and didn't realise there was a charge for it . Beef lasange wasn't the best either . Toilets had no hand wash both empty , toilet seat missing in gents. staircarpets needed a clean and hoover . Really disappointed

Sunday lunch today, returned my beef dinner, awful. £12.95 for a place of frozen mush, absolutely shocking. Waited on and served by two children who couldn’t say what veg would be served etc. My son had half Half chicken and chips, dry enough to make you choke. Appalling food. You don’t see any locals in here just poor, unassuming holiday makers. Will definitely not be back.

Poor food. Poor value for money. Tried charging £2.40 for gravy on chicken and chips .check your bills. No salads available on menu. Toilets a disgrace paper all over floor dirty toilets and two empty soap containers. Need a good clean . Been coming here for years but will not return until they get their act together. Start with some fresh food .the only saving grace was the young staff . Girl behind the bar and boy collecting dishes were very pleasant.

Very very disappointed, website stated open at 12pm , after walking 2miles to get there on a fantastic day, only find a bill board saying opens at 4pm ,

Food was ok and staff were friendly.

Good friendly service and food was great 👍

Stunning meal. Two lovely lads served us one even helped my 90 year old mother down the stairs for the rest room they went beyond what was expected of them I must say thank you to Jack and Will . your a credit to the place keep up the good work

Had food here and it was nice. We had it out in the beer garden. Nice staff. Was dark in the pub and the beer wasn't pulled through properly before I drank my pint which was disgusting. He pulled some off and the pint was good. Easy mistake to make. My gammon was undercooked in the thickest part yet they took it back and cooked it more for me with no hassle. Came back better. Tasted great, chips were oven chips but were cooked almost perfectly. My wife's lasagne was really nice. Kids pizza and sausages were good too. We'd go back again. And we are fussy.

Very disappointing Sunday lunch last week. Nothing fresh, pressed beef, tinned carrots, frozen roasties and 'smash' mashed potatoes, very little portions of frozen veg £12.95. Not worth £5! Will not be returning

Friendly staff had a lovely Sunday lunch

Lovely roast dinner in a nice beer garden 👍

Staff were lovely but the food wasn't very good unfortunately.

Great food &Thayer nice staff .

Walked in, walked out never to return.

Friendly service, delicious food, lots of gluten free options, and lovely beer garden. Would definitely visit again!

Went for Sunday Lunch was hoping to sit outside to eat as we had our dog with us! We were told not serving food outside only to see two tables get served with food outside!! We were given a table inside ordered the Beef Sunday Dinner when it came it was obvious the vegetables were not fresh veg and the beef was pre cooked and sliced and swamped with tasteless gravy!! Very poor food!! Have been a customer for some 30 years always had good meals and service but won’t be going again!!

They were only to happy to help you. And what a superb sunday Lunch. Awsom. If I find myself this way again I will definately stop. Thankyou.

Excellent service and lovely food

Disappointing on this occasion. Have called here multiple times over the last few years, either for an evening meal or Sunday lunch and had great food. Had Sunday lunch here last weekend and was served a substandard meal. Food was luke warm (plates cold) Beef was paper thin packet stuff with little taste. Veg not all that great and gravy gloopy. Not sure what has changed here as it used to be all fresh tasty food, homemade Yorkshire puddings and veg came on serving dishes. For the price not worth it at all unfortunately.

Had Sunday lunch here with family very disappointing. We have been here a few times over the years and was very good with great service. However this time was awful all shop packet food re heated very small potions of veg and cold plates. Poor value for money . Place also needs a good clean sticky tables ,food splatters on walls ,toilets and entrance to them disgusting carpet is black. Will not be returning.

First visit here & we were not disappointed, quiet, cosy and very friendly atmosphere. Food was great. Will visit again....soon!!!!😊

Turned up without booking and had a nice Sunday dinner.

Food dreadful service just as bad

Would not come back here again. We came for a Sunday dinner, which I can only describe as a microwave dinner. Packet beef, wrinkled veg & not quite sure what the gravy was made of, but it tasted awful. Definitely was not home cooked as stated on the board outside. Inside the place looked rather tired. On the other hand, the staff were friendly.

Good food - pays to get in early as no bookings being taken

Absolutely loved this little gem. Food was great and good value.

An old school no frills pub, nice enough, food was ok, staff friendly, prices average,

Thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly staff and first-class food.Would highly recommended

We ordered a pizza (margarita so nothing fancy) £13.99 and honestly it was dreadful. Dry shop bought base and bland topping. I've given this pub some credit because the beer garden is a pleasant place to sit, but I wont be returning. It was also £5 per pint!!!!

Good place for food and drinks, especially for a large group of people.

Ordered boiled potatoes, supplied with chips, ordered half a chicken whick was dry and stringy.. Lacked a bit of atmosphere, could do with background music.

Where do I start, I walked for 2 miles to get here along with my disabled partner who has a motorised scooter. I ordered food after an extremely long wait and we sat in the beer garden. It was nice and sunny when we ordered it after over an hour it began to get cold. I asked for a refund and was told that the food had already arrived outside and my partner was eating it, that was a lie. The food had miraculously appeared whilst I had gone to seek a refund. I explained that we were now cold, no doubt the food was too and we could not sit inside because of the lack of disabled access and that we had three dogs. I did not raise my voice or lose my temper, I simply requested a refund for the food we ordered that had not arrived. The young lady bartender kept going into the kitchen to ask for my refund, I could see she was stressed so I asked for a manager. No one appeared and I was told to wait until 9.30 to see one. I ordered our food at 7, I went in after 8 for a refund, then I’m expected to wait a further hour and a half to see a manager. I explained that we had a 2 mile walk back and that my partner is disabled. I’m utterly disgusted that a more senior member of staff could not be bothered to speak to me and instead let this young lady deal with my complaint. Then a local squared up to me at the bar demanding that I left, he made personal comments about us. I was threatened and intimidated and left immediately without the refund of 2 meals that we didn’t have £29.96. Seriously do not come here, I am so shocked and upset, this has had such a detrimental impact on our enjoyment of our Welsh holiday that we actually want to leave now and go home. I walked out to diffuse the situation after being threatened, never again ever.

Tonight we ate out here, family of 6 with 2 children, drinks starters and mains. In my hurried state getting all to the pub, I had forgotten my lighter. Upon asking the staff if they could spare me a light, I was told a fully functional kitchen and bar never had a light! I mean what would they do if the lighter stopped working in the kitchen, no matches and the barman tapped himself down to check if he had one in his pocket, alas I was told NO. The food was ok and we spent £104 on our food and drink. Sorry but this is absolutely awful customer service, just wanted to let smokers know how I felt Iwas treated.

Food was fantastic, we had the lasagne. Staff really polite and hard working. Only downside was the drinks were a bit expensive

Dropped in for lunch after walking the coastal path. Found the staff all very welcoming and friendly. The food was quick to arrive and there was plenty of it, especially good pub chips. Suprised by other recent reviews. Yes parts of the place are a bit shabby and the skip half full of empty bottles at the entrance does not give great 'kerb appeal' but the service and food was great. Thank you

Do not visit this place let alone dare to eat here!! The worst food imaginable is being served (very very slowly) in this hovel.. Be warned, read the other one star reviews and not the others obviously from staff and friends!! One star because I can't leave a no star review.

Food overpriced, £13 for burnt, takeaway pizza. Beer very expensive, beer garden shut early and staff bordering on rude. A shame as, a couple of years age, it was a good place to eat and drink.

First time going but won’t be returning anytime soon. Ordered garlic mushrooms for starters which were delicious. Main course was burgers. They were wafer thin kebab shop frozen style burgers, asked for mayonnaise and was told had run out. Generous portion of the fries however. Table and menu sticky. Cobwebs everywhere which had so much dust on them they had been there a while. Carpet downstairs to the toilets was disgusting. Sticky and worn. Had those meals and two pints of Carling, came to £45 roughly. A total disappointment and rip off. Could have got better at the co-op and cooked it ourselves.

Food good, couldn't fault that but the cleanliness of the place has gone down a lot ...dirty carpets, sticky tables, dusty windowsills, cobwebs, the menus are tatty and falling apart .... what were they doing in lockdown... certainly not keeping the place clean, shame, as it used to be so nice and welcoming.

Poor service and overpriced drinks! Nice beer garden. Didn't have food, but what we saw looked good.

The wait was terrible...my chips were cold

Great little pub, with good food and friendly staff. Good selection of wines & ales. Fab!

Not great, enough said, TIP don't order pizza..

If you want a drink I. The beer garden. Or a great meal in the evening. Then stop here. Either book ahead or just walk in. Great food. Good atmosphere. And polite staff. Just amazing.

It meant to be a nice familly meal. Never again! Worse pizza ever. Shoe hard pizza. Overcharged on drinks! Never never again!!

Came here twice in a week. First time was for a drink.... No ice, beer had more protein then a protein shake. Staff weren't welcoming or remotely friendly. This visit was 1600 and empty. We stupidly decided to give it another go, but for food... I wish we didn't! £16 for a steak pizza which had 0 steak on it and basically brown spam. You're better off getting pizza from co-op. It took almost 50 mins for 2 pizzas. Customers were even clearing their own tables and plastic glasses. One star is being generous, but my partner said the beer was cold so that's something!

A dirty place dust cobwebs everywhere dinner tables tops really sticky and dried blood or tomato sauce on table top which put me off my food few other matters too. In need of a good manager and a good clean don't hold much hope for the kitchen.

The chef here is top! Beautifully cooked steak, amazing pizza and the service is friendly! Please eat here!!!

Nice food well presented. Covid restrictions adhered to so a safe experience. Best of all its dog friendly.

Great pub, very welcoming, we were in a group of 8 and were given 2 tables in a separate room. Waiting staff were great along with the bar staff. Food was very good and well priced. Good selection of beer too.

Friendly staff Good below average. Overcooked scampi, dry chicken. Not the best... But quiet place to catch up with friends

Good was nice. Did not have any vegan options and there was no atmosphere in the place

Came in 2019 and the food was great, quiet little pub, closes for food by 8pm ish. But come 2021 this year we didn’t think the food was that great.

Just had a lovely meal here fish and chips cooked perfectly not greasy, nothing fancy but good food at a reasonable price

Just had a meal at this pub 19thjune waited 55 minutes after ordering pushed into room doors all open freezing cold kept asking how much longer said coming now ,please don’t go to this place for a meal,the food not good staff unhelpful cannot give this pub a good report ,very poor .

Nice pub garden for a drink. Lack lustre service and they didn't have many food items on the menu

We visited the Lydstep Tavern yesterday and it was probably the worst meal my wife and I have ever had. The quiche was disgusting and the gammon was as tough as shoe leather. Bad enough you may think but we were then overcharged for our drinks unless its normally £8.00 for a pint and a half of Carling. Told the landlord about the quiche and he did absolutely nothing. Will never recommend ...

This must be the worst meal it has ever been my misfortune to be placed in front of me. Absolutely disgraceful. Then to add insult to injury they overcharged on the drinks. We told the staff the food was terrible. They didn't offer to take my meal off the bill.
