Madtom Seafood Cafe Bar in Pembrokeshire

My partner had the seafood sharing platter, she said it was absolutely beautiful and everything was cooked to protection (and she’s very fussy) I had the burger and it was beautiful, lots of different flavours and even tried some of the seafood (i can’t stand seafood) and even thought it was quite nice, the service was amazing and they were super friendly, sadly they don’t accept tips on card and I had no cash on me however they definitely deserve some recognition, they done everything to make sure the dinner was perfect for us. It was also a beautiful space in general to eat and we loved the decor. If we come to wales again we are definitely going there each time!

My wife and I spent a full week in Pembrokeshire in early September and ate out every night. Of all the restaurants we visited this was by far the best. Food is top class and prices reasonable especially given the quality of the food. Staff polite and service outstanding. Best restaurant we visited between Tenby, Saundersfoot, Amroth, Wooden, Stepaside and Narberth. Highly recommended.

Average meal,seeing total bill was £120 to charge 50p for a small amount of mayonnaise is a bit of a rip off, won't be going back.

Last minute booking. Not disappointed. Lovely meal, wine and great service. Definitely recommend 👌

Nice food off a good menu. Nice friendly service

Called in for coffee but ended up ordering Sunday lunch after seeing the quality of food being served on other tables. Our food was excellent and the service we received from staff was wonderful. One of the loveliest Sunday lunches we’ve had. Thank you.

Fantastic sea food. Fresh, quick and plenty of food. They forgot our deserts which was disappointing but not enough to ruin the wonderful meal.

Very welcoming , dog friendly and amazing food. The menu is soooo hard to pick from, everything on the menu is delicious and cooked to perfection. Couldn’t fault it, we will definitely be visiting again.

We were in Narberth for a weeks holiday, and went here on our first night because of the Trip Advisor Reviews. We enjoyed it so much we went on our final night as well!!! We sampled Lobster, Sewin, Monkfish and Sea Bass. All were cooked beautifully and served with very interesting accompaniments. Special mention to the serving staff who were absolutely delightful. If we didn't live over 200 miles away it would definitely be a regular haunt of ours

Amazing fresh food. Very tasty and delicious seafood. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

Absolutely great food and service on a Tuesday evening with limited staff. Food was fabulous sea bass and ravioli best I have had. Front of house team were great wine great value. Booking for Thursday 👍

Delicious seafood, fish, vegan options though burgers and steaks are good too. Very good value for sizeable portions and quality of food. The desserts were excellent, too. A very well thought out menu! It has been a long time since I have had such delicious food. Congratulations!

Very good! We took the sea platter to share. Fresh and excellent mussels and shrimp! Calamari and fried anchovies also good. The lobster but especially the Thermidor sauce are also perfect. Nothing to say

Lovely little place in Narberth. Staff were friendly and professional and the food was amazing. We had the Mediterranean tart and the spicey vegan burger and both were perfect. Best chips I've ever had too

Really enjoyed the food, wish there was a little more land based dishes on the menu.

Had a lovely meal last night, dishes excellent (we selected several different fish options). Friendly service. Will recommend and return. Thank you

Tried to email for a reservation for food, but was completely ignored even though the email address was being advertised everywhere, including the boards outside. Turned up in case they had booked us in and not replied and staff were indifferent to us. They apologised for no availability although there were many tables free and we were quite early. Headed down the road for exceptional service at Top Joe's instead.

We had a really nice meal for lunch here. The seafood was fantastic, we had the full lobster and swordfish and I can highly recommend both dishes. The service was good and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Amazing food and service, lovely place, lovely music and atmosphere, polite professional staff. If you like seafood.go here. They know what theyre doing 🙏

Kind service but wait for food almost 30 mins. Food is ok but burger patty could be juicier.

Between us we had sewin, seafood sharing platter, fish soup, all we're excellent, nice atmosphere, also great puddings, can't wait to get back and try some steak!

Atmosphere was amazing. Bar staff very helpful and polite . Food was excellent definitely will come back

Great service & food, enjoyed the sea bass & chunky chips!

Fantastic team and Madtom; nothing to fault food or service wise. Special thx to Alix who took care of us (Shine on 😉)

Lovely seafood if you like to splash out on a good quality meal lovely service

Visited Madtoms on Sat 18th, was seated and left for 10-15mins before being asked what drinks we wanted, ordered drinks and then food and all seemed ok. Food came after another 10-15mins and looked good, the food was very nice, albeit my wife’s fish was not hot, just warm. From there on in we were left to ourselves for the duration of our visit, no asking if all was ok, no asking if we wanted more drinks or anything, for a restaurant that was not cheap it was really poor. The main 2 waiting staff seemed more happy stood behind the bar chatting rather than serving and waiting, my drink was empty after 20mins but never got asked if I wanted another, tried to attract their attention but pretty much ignored. Would not go back as for the price was bang average.

My littlest brother has been dying to try Lobster since forever and Madtoms did not disappoint! Service was 10/10 and the food was even better. It was great!!

Exquisite!!! Fabulous service, atmosphere, wine and not to forget the food, best seafood restaurant we've ever been to and would return in the future when we visit

Yet another superb lunch. The food is excellent and served with a smile!! 😁 On previous visits we have been wowed by the sharing platter, and today the Crevettes followed by the Sole didn’t disappoint!

Our youngest treated us to lunch for my 60th birthday wow what a treat best seafood we’ve ever had. Between us we had half a lobster the hake option and the sea bass all of which arrived as delicious hearty portions. The place itself is done in a funky modern way with nice nautical references. The service was quick and friendly so will definitely be back for more!

Took friends out for a meal last night. Outstanding food yet again. Starters of crevette king prawns, duck dumplings and soft shell crabs. All delicious and king prawns were huge! The flavours were fresh and tasty. Main course... I had Monkfish with a coconut curry sauce and garlic potatoes.... just delicious. Partner had seafood linguine.... loaded with cockles, mussels, smoked salmon and huge king prawns .... total taste fest. Our friends enjoyed half a pig!!!! Slow cooked ribs with a chilli bbq sauce ..... the comment was 'best ribs he had EVER tasted. The meat fell off the bone and the portion size was unreal. The staff ...... all extremely pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend a visit .... you won't be disappointed, I guarantee. Make sure you book first as we saw a few groups turned away because they hadn't reserved a table.

Superb seafood in an excellent atmosphere with warm friendly staff. The nibbles humus and surimi fish pops and main courses mussels steamed in a parmesan garlic cream and parsley sauce for my wife and my sea bass were excellent.

Went last night. Had a great meal. Service was very attentive. Pricing very reasonable.Would Thoroughly recommend.

Simply the best & NOT to be missed!!! Had the most delicious breakfast/ brunch. So sorry i forgot to take a photo, it looked so tasty just had to dig in. Finished off with the biggest coffee ☕️, well worth the visit. Didn't realize it was open so early. will definitely be back. Thank you

Lovely seafood restaurant. Prices considerably less than what you would pay elsewhere for food of that quality. Service was excellent. Pembrokeshire cider went very well with Tenby lobster.

We had dinner in this wonderful restaurant last Sunday evening. Wow what wonderful experience lovely cocktails. The food was absolutely first class best meals we have ever had. Starters were tasty and generous .Hake was beautifully cooked sauce was amazing,lobster was huge tender and tasty, seafood linguine was also spot on. Desserts homemade and lovely especially the homemade shortbread. Must say service was exceptional young waiter knew exactly what was on the menu and very informative. Highly recommend will definitely visit again.

Can't fault it. Staff & Food are absolutely fabulous. Never disappoints.

Best sea food in Pembrokshire. Every time had different menu. Can not fault. Top quality and very clean

Only had breakfast with my grandson and it was lovely best breakfast. In narbarth by far very good with my grandson who is in a wheelchair lovely lovely staff

We had a great meal here in early March (fabulous seafood platter to share) and returned later in the month with friends. One of our group had complex dietary allergies, so I contacted the restaurant in advance to discuss what they could offer. We agreed that one couple would have the standard seafood platter, and the other couple would have a seafood platter with some amendments to meet her dietary requirements. The whole meal was brilliant (for all of us), and everyone, from front of house to kitchen staff, made sure that the meal was safe and had as much variety as possible. I cannot praise the team highly enough for producing great food, at a great price, with great customer service.

Had the most fantastic evening meal here to celebrate my daughter’s 30th birthday. There were 8 of us plus a child and 3 small dogs. From the moment of booking, the restaurant was nothing but helpful , friendly and accommodating towards us. They told us we could bring the cake with us and there was no charge for that , unlike some restaurants which make a big fuss about it and charge for the privilege. When we arrived the waiting staff were all wonderful and so genuinely friendly. They made us feel very welcome. If that wasn’t enough, the food was absolutely divine! Every single person enjoyed what they ordered and the portions were generous. I had a half lobster and it was fantastic. The chips are worth a mention too. Thanks so much to everyone at Madtom for a truly memorable evening.

Had a lovely meal at Madtom Land. & Sea this lunchtime. Heard good reports about the place, in particular the seafood and meat. Sure enough it didn’t disappoint. After some olives to start, I had the lobster with homemade bread, garlic butter and a lovely salad plus a glass of house red. Delicious. All the staff were nice. Would definitely go back.

Just had a fabulous sharing platter, we are stuffed to the brim. The lobster was huge, so meaty. Delicious!

One of the best seafood restaurants I have eaten in ! the food was incredible, I cannot give it 5 stars due to the service. I have t say it was appalling, We were told we were forgotten about being in one of the outside greenhouses, but not forgotten about once but several times. This place could go far, if they could sort out the service and give the staff some training.

Great staff and service. Foor excellent. Recommend the nibbles if you are not too hungry. Generous mains.

Great food, fantastic service and knowledgeable staff - highly recommended

Sunday roast really tasty and value for money. Service a little slow but staff very pleasant and apologetic for the wait.

We had booked here with much anticipation as my husband loves seafood. Our table was booked for 6.45. We arrived, greeted well by staff and sat at the table. We ordered a bottle of wine and after about 15 mins placed our food order. We were chatting and got chatting to the table next to us and then we realised we’d been sitting for 45 minutes and our starters hadn’t appeared. We asked the waiter who apologised and came back and told us our order hadn’t gone through to the kitchen, but our starters wouldn’t be long. Another 25 minute wait, another apology and we still had no starters. Every other table near us had been served and the people next to us ( who arrived 15 mins after we sat down) had food. Eventually we told them to leave it, we’d go elsewhere. They didn’t charge us for the bottle of wine, and we left. The time was about 8.30 by now, we were hungry and luckily for us the hotel we were staying in next door has a restaurant and we had a fantastic pizza in there. But we had booked a night away in Narberth especially to come here so a bit of a wasted trip for us.

Myself & my husband enjoyed an amazing Sunday roast dinner. Great & friendly service from start to finish. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Every bite - Delicious!! BENDIGEDIG!!!

We visited this evening (27.02) as two adults, two young children and a newborn baby and we all thoroughly enjoyed! The food was top notch! The portion size was huge, so much so that none of us finished and the quality was second to none. As well as the food being brilliant, so was the service. I didn’t catch the name of our server but he was attentive, polite and even managed to get us a side of beans for our two year old even though they don’t usually serve them - what a star! We’ll definitely be back as a family but also with friends or for a date as it can truly cater for all

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing service, Harvey and Jake were stand out servers!

If you like sea food, you MUST visit! Personally I'm not a lover of sea food but I may be changing my mind after dining here..simply WOW!!!

Went to Madtoms tonight, was greeted with a warm welcome from Henry who was attentive and very friendly. Would recommend this place to family and friends and i will be coming back! 5 stars!!!

Staying at nearby Bluestone and booked last minute. Amazing welcome and brilliant food. The steaks are massive and the lobster was perfect! Adapted a meal for our daughter and reduced the price! Spotlessly clean and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful lunch. Best mussels and chips I've had in ages. My husband had the brill - which he said was brill!! Will be back soon.

Visited Madtoms in July 2023, we sat in one of their fab greenhouse seating areas, as we had a puppy with us. As you can see by the photos, the standard of food was exceptional. Incredibly tasty, incredibly fresh. Our starters came out promptly, the mains were lovely - the fish platter was huge, it had mussels, whitebait, calamari, prawns and we added a Tenby lobster - so delicious, came with mini loaves of bread and chips. The service was good, although they were busy that evening they were very attentive. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Our second visit and a great way to kick off our few days away. We loved the little fish pops and panko prawns. Lovely Pembrokeshire lobster and plaice. See you next time!

Busy weeknight evening (night before Valentine’s + half term) but they kindly squeezed us in. And so glad they did. Food was absolutely delicious! We had the Tenby lobster and the ribs and both were just perfect. Service and wait time was as you’d expect for a busy small independent restaurant but honestly don’t mind waiting when atmosphere and drinks are so good, and food was 100% worth the wait. One of the best meals out we’ve had in a long time.

The food was amazing and the staff we great. Jamie served us and helped us choose our dinner - he was helpful and good fun. We both had fish dishes and they were top notch.

We booked Madtom for our sons 30th birthday thinking it would be an excellent restaurant, partly due to the high priced food and a 4.7 rating. We were therefore expecting great food and service. However, it was a very bad choice indeed. We had appalling service from non-attentive lazy staff, partial food orders being delivered to our table at different times. In fact my son, whos birthday it was, had a meal presented to him which was completely different to the one he ordered. The staff apologised and had the correct meal cooked. However by the time he got his correct meal, everyone else at our table had finished eating and he'd lost his appetite. Not once were we ever asked by staff if everything was OK with our meal or if we wanted any drinks as they were too busy polishing glasses and chatting to each other behind the bar. We ended up calling them over to take a drinks order. We even had to ask for salt and pepper!! Might i add the restaurant wasn't busy either. One of the guests at our table had an micro sized portion of chicken which cost £18 and he also ordered two lime and sodas which cost a staggering £8.40!!! It was a memorable 30th birthday party for all the WRONG reasons and it really upset us all.

Really enjoyed our visit last night, staff were most welcoming, menu was difficult to choose from for a first visit, everything sounds delicious. Busy on a January Wednesday is not easy in Pembrokeshire, that speaks volumes. We have been wanting to visit for a while. I opted for a steak , my better half had fish stew. Food was excellent. No seasoning on the table was talked about, no need for that was the verdict 👌 We will return, the starter menu needs exploring!

The service here was great, as was our table. The meal started well with nice olives and dips but the meal was not terribly generous- £15 for 3 large prawns and a bit of salad (no homemade bread or whipped butter as in 2022) is too much. The lobster was rubbery and over- buttery, the fish medley was too saucy with not enough fish. The chips were over salted.. What a shame! This is a lovely location and there is real potential. The chance to delight was unfortunately missed. We understand how difficult it is for restaurants in this economic climate, but we hoped for slightly better cooking.

Food was bland, meals weren't even being served (birthday boys food was served once we all finished ours). Polite staff, but poor service. Lobster was like rubber. Chicken was dry. Considering we were the ONLY table having food, I wouldn't really expect so many plates either being forgotten or late to the table. I personally wouldn't go again.

Late evening walk in for two, staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Starter and mains were fabulous, really quite reasonable for the quality and size of the portions. Also the Welsh Ale is very tasty. Ambient music was excellent. Thank you 😊

Came here yesterday with 2 friends and my girlfriend on recommendation of another friend. We eat out alot and was looking forward to this but as we started the lady taking the order was leaning on the chair the whole time taking the order. I asked for starters to come out with mains because I was only one having starter but it didn't. My friends fish and chips didn't come with tartar sauce, the venison burger obviously comes to the restaurant wrapped in plastic because my friend found a good part of it in his meal. My girlfriends corn on the cob came out stone cold and I had to ask for cutlery. I asked for sauces and some salt which turned up 10/15 minutes after the food did. They didn't do check backs until we actually finished our meals aswell and we didn't bother complaining because the waitress made it clear they had a rubbish day. The steak and peppercorn sauce was banging tho! All round though, I feel 2 star is generous specially for how expensive the food it.

We were very much looking forward to eating there. The staff were welcoming and accommodated us booking an earlier table. I am not sure if they were having an off day, but anything fried was very overcooked, the batter being hard and dark brown. The bread was also extremely salty and overbaked. We ordered the seafood platter and a fish and chips. The lobster, mussels and pea puree (that accompanied the fish and chips) were delicious.

Thanks to all at Mad Tom's for such a perfect day yesterday. 15 for lunch and it was excellent!!! With great service to boot!! So grateful to you guys xx

One of our favourite eateries in Narberth Moving to a larger premises across the square, looking forward to visiting the new place soon.

We didn't stay so I can't comment on the rooms. We were staying in narbeth for a week and came across madtoms when looking for a drink in town. The place smelled unreal, the seafood smell is just something else. After having one drink we booked for the following night to go back for the seafood sharer (£40). As it was a holiday we thought why not add the whole lobster for an extra £30... well we shouldn't have. The tail meat was tough as and stringy. The sharer platter was excellent but have to give 4 stars for the tough lobster... the lidl frozen one I've cooked at home is smaller but easier to eat (I don't fight with food) In summary, definitely go to madtoms, just don't jump on the lobster, there are much better items on the menu

Fantastic meal as usual! The greenhouses are so atmospheric on a cold dark evening!

My hubby and I visited this evening and had the most wonderful experience! The service was impeccable and the food was gorgeous. A truly lovely evening - we will no doubt be returning. Thank you

Seafood platter is one of the best you'll ever have!

Fabulous food and amazing service, will definitely be returning! 😍

The seafood here was incredible and the server was really lovely too!

Amazing fresh seafood and service.

This restaurant was comfortable and cosy, the service was impeccable; and the food was 10/10 unforgettably delicious. My husband and I both had the steak but I’m sure the other options were equally delectable, as the high standards are apparent. Our only gripe is that Narberth isn’t near to us (far from it), otherwise we would frequent this place to the point of absurdity! Thoroughly recommended.

Lush food. We had a mix of small plates and the cod cheeks. Everything was hot, tasty and arrived in good time. Very good service. Was a novelty to eat in a greenhouse but not unpleasant Just a shame we couldn’t add a tip to the bill as we don’t carry cash!

What can I say but Wow! Food was amazing and lots of it. The waitress we had was friendly and always smiling. Really want to keep this place my little secret.

Excellent cook, linguine a la putanesca like in Italy and fishes cooked with taste, originality and elegance. The atmosphere is perfect. A very great moment.

Great seafood menu. Super tasty and great service

Very nice lunch, taken in the outside dining pods (greenhouses), very novel and great for us as we had our dog with us.

Excellent food with service provided by a very pleasant and friendly waitress. Will definitely return

Room a bit small but clean we had a meal also it was great I had steak done as I asked Narbeth Town very lovely all great value

We drove up from Tenby (only about 20 mins) for dinner and it was gorgeous! We shared the seafood platter for 2 and had a dessert each and the food was stunning and arrived quickly. The staff were all very friendly and answered my questions about the various lobster utensils as I wasn’t sure how to use them😂 Would highly recommend!

Such a friendly place and the food was outstanding 👌

This place......what to say other than wow. Atmosphere is awesome, clean with a nice rustic twist. The staff are so friendly and helpful, myself and the family went on a particular hot day and the staff were just blasting through things to make sure we had a good meal. Now onto the food .....I've done some traveling in my time for sea food and this one was the best hands down! Fresh and well seasoned.....home made warm soft bread with herbs mixed throughout it, crispy fish bites & super huge king prawns in a perfect broth. If you're a sea food fan this is a must. To top it all off its an independent family run business, so it's nice to put money back into the local community, rather than a dirty chain. I wish this business all the best in the future, I'll be returning whenever I find myself in Wales. 10/10 lovley night out.

Excellent food (seafood) . Staff friendly/helpful . Location great although one way system makes it difficult to find.

I live locally and enjoy eating here. Great food and service. I can't rate the rooms as I have never stayed here being so close to where I live.

Me and my new wife came here for our first honeymoon meal. Amazing food and such a beautiful setting. We had the platter and there is so much food but everything is so delicious.

Lovely food. I had the plaice which was very moist with a cockle sauce and asparagus. Tasty hand cut chips. We were in one of the glasshouses which are lively and warm and private. The waitress was new but really lovely and very efficient.

Had an excellent meal here, shared a seafood platter, couldn’t even finish it between us two. Thought that a little baked loaf of bread with butter as one of the sides looked very original. The seafood was supreme, can’t recommend enough.

Well, what a find. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Good food is hard to find in Pembrokeshire but this little place is great. Definitely coming back again.

Beautiful food and drink. Sat in one if the outside greenhouses (dog friendly and had a labrador in tow) and enjoyed half lobster and sirloin steak -cooked perfectly. Friendly quick service and a lovely setting.

Visited here last night and the food was absolutely incredible. Some of the freshest and bested seafood I’ve eaten in the UK We were seated outside in one of the little greenhouses and it was Cosy and romantic. Our server was amazing and explained some dishes to us which we wernt sure what were. We had half a large lobster, steamed mussels, 14oz Pembrokeshire sirloin and I had a single oyster to try as my partner doesn’t like them. One of the tastiest oysters I have had. The homemade chips were a so crunchy and fluffy the perfect skin on chip! We shared the chocolate fondant desert which we were informed was all cooked fresh. It was beautifully rich and decadent. The perfect sharer to end a fabulous meal. 10/10

Was absolutely looking forward to fresh seafood dishes but left very disappointed. We wasn’t taken to our table instead lady pointed with her finger where the table is. Not good start. Took long time to order bottle of wine and even longer to bring to our table even 3 people was just standing behind the bar and chatting. Ordered scallops and got 3 bits of something in breadcrumbs deep fried. Sauce was really nice but had no scallops. Waitress made some excuses but made no sense. Platter of seafood wasn’t best. Lobster was chewy and felt like it might be frozen. Prawns was tasteless and definitely didn’t taste fresh. Mussels was really nice and sauce was nice. Squid was lovely too. Sadly dish on what platter came in wasn’t heated so sauce started to solidify. After all experience wasn’t great and food had so much potential just felt it was rushed. Portion size is great. And it’s good lots of potential just needs little attention to food and better service.

Amazing place with stunningly fresh and delicious food. We shared lobster croquettes, scallops and the infamous salmon scotch egg for starters. Delicious. For mains, I had fresh sea bass with crab, tenderstem and garlic potatoes. My partner had cod cheek with bacon, tenderstem and herby mash. Amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Stayed for 1 night in the appartment at the top of the building, had the best time, loved the apartment, spotlessly clean, fully equipped, lovely friendly staff would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Had food here today it excellent and the service was great
