Mannings Grocers in Pembrokeshire

What a lovely place, and we'd love to be regulars, but we won't be returning as the only area which is dog-free is upstairs and not suitable for those with mobility problems. Hence the 2 stars.

Arrived a bit later in the afternoon with only a small selection of cakes left, which were all rather plain looking. Nice ambience, especially in the mezzanine. Good selection of teas and some difficult to find fruit and veg in the grocery section.

We came here after a completely hopeless experience at the Gourmet Pig. What a contrast ! Warm welcome by friendly staff in a lovely, bright , clean environment. Smashing coffee and delicious carrot cake . Highly recommended !

Visited 3.20 on a weekday for a coffee and a hot snack to be told the kitchen was closed. They where serving drinks and cakes. I did notice some sausage rolls and pasties and I asked if they could be warmed up. I was told this was not possible. My husband had a pot of tea and a cake, he said the cake was delicious. We also bought several things like biscuits and crackers to take home with us. We are not local to Fishguard so nobody knew us. The reason for my rating is because I observed 3 local customers (not the same party) that came in after us being served hot sausage rolls. I should have said something there and then but I was so annoyed it would have come out as a rant. I know small business are struggling these days and we go out of our way to support them, but this left a bitter taste. We have started to visit Fishguard on a regular basis and I will choose to spend my money where I’m going to be treated equally as a local, so we won’t be using you again, regardless of time.

Popped in this afternoon for a quick bite and coffee to warm up on a chilly day. Luckily we just made it in time for hot food or light snacks before the kitchen closed. We both ordered sandwiches which were deep filled on beautiful thick brown bread and also delicious side salad. The latte coffee's were perfectly blended not too strong. This is my second visit and most certainly many more to come!

This is a great place, we stopped in for a quick coffee and tea and couldn’t resist after we were told there was lemon drizzle available. All lovely. We also bought a couple of sausage rolls to go because they looked so nice. Busy on a Saturday lunch time, staff were great, lovely building, and all the food we saw coming out also looked (and smelled) very nice. There also seemed to be a lot of milkshakes being made which looked nice. The decaf cappuccino was excellent. You can also buy all sorts of veg and farm shop type produce. Would highly recommend.

Great venue with some really interesting and tasty plant based options. Staff were really friendly, we had a slight mix up with our order that they worked really hard to resolve. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious quality food, tea and coffee. Breakfast was amazing 😁👍 All the staff are friendly and helpful. Great interior, clean and tidy. Dogs welcome.

We ordered coffee and cake. We are relaxed about these things but our order took over 30 minutes to arrive. It was lunchtime but hardly rushed off its feet and 6 staff on duty behind the counter. Coffee and cake were both good but no excuses for such tardy service.

We have eaten at Mannings on many occasions and found it good, especially as my husband is coeliac and they normally cater, but today they say because they are busy they can’t guarantee the food won’t be contaminated. Whilst honesty is always appreciated, it’s disappointing to be effectively turned away and no effort to be made to accommodate the dietary needs of customers.

Mannimgs is een fijne relaxte plek voor ontbijt of lunch. Ze hebben ook keuze uit allerlei goed gebak. Vriendelijke ontvangst.

Excellent little cafe in Fishguard. Superb coffees and an excellent choice of cakes. Nice food area too. Well worth a visit if you are coffee lovers.

Lovely breakfast, beautifully cooked with top quality ingredients, average price but above average food! Lovely ambience and very relaxing! Will come again!

Popped in for some tea/coffee and cake after a walk at Strumble Head. Staff were really friendly and the cake was amazing! Good coffee too.

Lovely place to have a meal. We visited twice at lunchtimes. Not too crowded. There's upstairs, downstairs and a terrace area for outdoor dining. Good range of delicious food. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

We stopped by for coffee and cake. There was a good selection of cakes , all home made. The carrot cake was especially good. The service was friendly and efficient.

Enjoyed excellent coffee & superb home made cakes. Has wonderful stylish and quality decor with attractive garden that does pizzas and outside service. Big thanks to wonderful service & hospitality team of Saffron & Sarah. Wish you every future success - hope to see you again soon. Quality endures

Popped in for lunch. Did the warm halloumi sandwich with gf bread. Was delicious, big so shared it between us. Lovely outdoor garden area for eating and inside area. Very quiet. Also a shop on the inside selling local fruit and veg etc

We visited for the first time, very busy but had a table upstairs, staff lovely very welcoming, my husband wasn’t hungry so had a coffee excellent , I had a tuna jacket potato excellent to , definitely will be returning

Lovely lovely place We just happened upon it driving through Fishguard. Their rolls are to die for so light, I had the club sandwich delicious and hubby had the pulled pork. He said the best he’d tasted. Staff all friendly and helpful. Dogs allowed !

Breakfast in Mannings was extremely good and coupled with the very friendly staff make this a highly recommended place to eat. Didn’t try them but the cakes also looked very good.

The staff are awesome. We bring a guy we care for here twice a week. He loves it. They are kind, attention to detail. But they also make amazing food! Bacon rolls to die for. Fabulous poached egg on sourdough. Amazing cakes, vegan, veggie and...

Gorgeous cafe with lovely seating inside and a spacious and tranquil outdoor area. The food was fantastic with a good range of excellent quality sandwiches - the BLT and the chicken Caesar were so tasty (and also huge!) and came with a a delicious side...

Good gluten free options, had gluten free bread for sandwiches. When you ask for gluten free, they clarify if you are coeliac which shows great awareness. Friendly staff.

We went to see the Fishguard Tapestry and found this lovely restaurant/delicatessen where we had lunch. A very friendly atmosphere and the food was excellent. Well worth a visit.

Really delicious brunch and lovely grocers with local produce. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back again.

Had lunch here and so impressed !! Lovely food and a really modern menu Service was excellent and I would definitely go again !! Will recommend to family and friends

Despite a more limited menu than usual, there was enough choice and the food was excellent. I had a wonderful coconut based oriental soup which was loaded with sweet potato and king prawns. I asked whether it came with bread which it didn’t but should...

We stopped for some very nice warm sandwiches and drinks on a visit to Fishguard. The place was nice and inviting and had a huge selection of organic and other food on offer.

My friend from Denmark and I were enjoying a holiday in St. David’s, and on one of the days we were passing through Fishguard. As we hadn’t eaten breakfast that day we decided to try Mannings. This was definitely the right decision to make because...

We visited here for lunch a couple of times in our week in Wales this November, as mixed group of vegans and vegetarians we found lots of choice of food, lovely coffee, and staff who were knowledgeable and friendly. The roast broccoli salad was really...

We were fortunate to get a table on a very busy day when there was clearly a shortage of staff. We were warned at the point of ordering that there would be a delay which we were happy with as we were not in a...

Cappuccinos are good. Be warned however that the so-called panettone is actually a muffin (i.e. texture of cake, not bread), and very sweet. On our second trip, a quick stopover for coffees, the service was annoyingly slow - 5 staff members standing around doing nothing,...

Called in to Fishguard on journey back from Dinas Head (beautiful) and luckily stumbled upon this place. Best belly pork sandwich with funky chips ever had. Friendly and funky. Loved it. Thank you

Cracking lunch in the teepee! Very friendly service with a smile ( behind the masks) , tasty home baked quiche and chips. I didn’t think I’d find a little gem like this in Fishguard . ‘I’ll be back’ to steal a saying…

Shame there was a limited menu when we visited - however what we did have was very tasty. We loved the outdoor section.

Went to Mannings today for lunch. We were given a very friendly welcome by the girls there. The coffee was just spot on and the meal i had which was pulled brisket was excellent. The food was well presented and the service was very quick....

A late review as I forgot to do it on return from visiting a friend late May, but compelled to still write as our breakfast at Mannings was absolutely delicious and still rates highly in our holiday memory! There was an excellent choice of offerings,...

5 stars for this gem of a restaurant/cafe. On arrival I noted a item of food to my liking though it had an ingredient to which I'm allergic to. On advising the staff that's when my 5 star experience evolved. Wow, staff noting the food...

3 of us stopped off in Fishguard after a nice 5 mile walk down near St Justinian. 2 of us had the soup, which was very very nice. A great choice of food & drinks. They cater for vegans & vegetarians.

We met family friends for breakfast and coffee in the garden (plenty of tables under cover). Very pleasant service and delicious breakfast

Fabulous lunch . Fresh locally sourced food beautifully presented. Triple cooked chips were awesome.

My wife and I had breakfast and a couple of coffees in the garden. The food was very tasty and well presented. The staff very friendly and the setting very nice. We will return and recommend highly.

Called in for coffee and cakes. Lovely selection, bright airy space indoors - coupled with a good range of fruit, veg and deli items - but we sat outside. Delicious cakes, good coffee and excellent service. Highly recommended.

The food is very high quality and really has to be recommended. I have the leak and roasted cauliflower soup which was stunning, creamy, and perfectly seasoned followed by a tuna melt sandwich perfectly prepared and presented. I highly recommend this for a lunch to...

Mae'r bwyd yma'n hyfryd, gyda chynnyrch lleol a ffres yn amlwg. Mae'r staff wastad yn groesawgar ac yn llawn help. The good is great with an emphasis on the fresh and local. The staff are always welcoming and friendly.

We visited Mannings for lunch, on the way to St Davids. The soup was excellent, as was the tea (which is surprisingly difficult to get right). The young staff were keen and helpful. Picked up some lovely medjool dates on the way out. Hope this...

First visit here yesterday with my daughter who is a regular customer - Wow ! Lunch was delicious ! I was spoilt for choice with the lunchtime menu but opted for the cheese and leek quiche with salad. Whilst there are lots of non veggie...

Came across this place whilst visiting the area. Staff were really friendly, felt very Covid safe. Lovely sunny patio garden. Excellent coffee, looking forward to going back!

We booked here for lunch and didn't quite know what to expect as it was a grocers, but it was one the best places we ate at all holiday. We didn't know what to choose on the menu as it all looked great so chose...

Had a very nice coffee stop here , I was surprised to see the foods and produce for sale inside which was lovely , my only disappointment was that it was early and I was not hungry enough for the main meals in the menu....

We discovered Mannings on our first visit to Fishguard and figured we’d just pop in because we were hungry. It’s so welcoming as soon as you go inside and all of the staff were lovely and welcomed us with a smile. They seated us quickly...

What a beautiful building.. The young gals are extremely helpful and friendly. The service is very quick. Range of food and drink is superb too. Very comfortable settings and clean.

Best hospitality experience of our stay. I had the tasty brisket. Good outdoor seated area. Friendly helpful staff.

Came here for coffee and cake, pleased to find there was a gluten free blueberry cake option. Both were lovely.

Recently had the beef brisket hot sandwich and I can honestly say it was the best sarnie I’ve ever had...period! Lovely coffee too. Staff were super welcoming and friendly. Would recommend this amazing cafe to anyone. Manager and team are doing a FAB job.

I’ve been to Mannings a few times now and every time been over the moon with the food and service. You can see so much time and effort is put into every little thing Mannings do such as the homemade fresh food, the more than...

My wife and I popped in for weekday lunch. The staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. Our food (veggie quiche) was fresh-baked and very tasty. And the coffee was the best we have tasted. Prices very reasonable.

We visited Mannings just by chance as it was recommended by a person who we happened to ask when we were in a nearby village. We were so glad we took his advice! It was our son’s 1st birthday and we arrived at the right...

Went in with some friends to eat as we were passing through on holiday. We were given a table in the garden area which was pleasant as were the waitresses. It was a fairly quiet Monday afternoon. Our table was in the shade so we...

Went for the sausage, Brie + caramelised onion panini and I can honestly say it was the best panini I’ve ever tasted. Fab coffee too. This cafe really is a shining star in fishguard. Staff are very friendly and service is very efficient

We were in Fishguard on a holiday when we popped into Mannings. I can honestly state I don't know why there are some poor reviews on here base on our experience. Staff were pleasant and professional. We went for a Prawn sandwich on brown (probably...

It's great to see a really nice place to eat and drink in Fishguard but I am shocked at the volume of wasted cardboard boxes and cups as nothing is provided on a plate or in a glass, mug or cup. We are all doing everything possible to reduce unnecessary waste to help preserve natural resources and reduce damage to the environment but this is going in the opposite direction and to top it off, there is an additional hidden charge for the privilege of using cups to drink from and boxes to eat out of without being give the opportunity to decide. We all know the world has gone mad with making everything COVID-Safe, but surly this is not what is expected of us during these difficult times. Surely eating of normal plates and drinking out of glasses and cups that have been cleaned and dried in a dishwasher as in other places would be suitable and safe!

It looked like a lovely place to stop and have coffee and cake, how wrong could we be! The interior, seating, display of food all looked fabulous - however once we were seated, we remained just that other tables of customers who arrived after us were served whilst we were ignored, eventually my husband caught the eye of a waitress, who acknowledged we were waiting but continued to ignore us. I’ve never written a bad review before, but I feel I have little choice - needless to say after waiting for almost 30 minutes just to order, we voted with our feet and went elsewhere.

Stopped to have lunch here prior to sea kayking and lucked upon Mannings as we have vegans in the group. Lots of good options. Lovely paninis and cakes. Excellent, friendly service. A llittle gem.

We arrived later in the afternoon,after a long drive. We had visited last year, just my husband I and enjoyed our visit so much that we wanted to return with our 2 children + dog!. We sat outside & had 3 teas and a coffee and a scone, very very reasonable and similar to last year, we had a lovely experience, once again, and our children loved it. Thank you.

Although the parsnip soup was very tasty, I was told that I would have to pay over a pound extra for wheat-free (gluten-free) bread, which was not cooked fresh on the premises. I have NEVER been asked anywhere to pay extra for this and as I declined paying extra, Mannings should have knocked the cost of bread off the price. In addition the coffee, although very nice, was almost cold. It’s a great building. This is not a particularly cheap place to eat. I rarely treat myself to a meal out... And as all I had for my money was a bowl of soup, a little grated cheese and a semi-warm coffee, I will, sadly, NOT be returning.

Party of four visited, they have a lovely deli, a great atmosphere & we were all stuffed with the lovely home made food we had. Would recommend

Quite simply the best Bacon, egg and tomato roll available in Wales, if not the whole UK. Combine that with good coffee, excellent service/staff plus a reasonable range of organic and local produce, what more could you ask for?

Excellent staff - as good as their food. Young waitress was very professional and friendly. Their homemade sausage rolls, pork pies and vegetable fritte were outstanding. Worth a visit.

We visited this cafe/store as it was recommended to us by a lady in the grocery store up the hill. We asked her about cafes with good wifi and coffee and she suggested this one. We were so grateful as we ended up going three times, mainly for the wifi and coffee and because well, the title of this review pretty much says it all!The location is great, the wifi is excellent, the coffee was excellent, the staff were amazing and very fit! ;-). ie: I was so impressed because after constantly running up and down the stairs to the kitchen below, they still came to your table with no puffing, and then gave excellent service! ;-). The food was excellent and worth what you pay for it, and we really liked the layout and decor of the place as well. Unfortunately, we probably cant ever come back to this cafe as we live too far away on a little island in the Caribbean sea!

Called in for a coffee and cannot fault the location or service. Clean and tidy, pleasant staff and a good choice of cake - always a plus!!!!

Went with a friend recently and was blown away when I first entered. Was not expecting this in Fishguard. It was a busy lunch time and was obviously very popular. Good choice of cakes and savoury pies and tarts. Good coffee. Lovely shop selling fruit and veg, chutneys, sauces etc.There is an outside sitting area.The manager was very nice and very helpful.

Called in for lunch on a quiet Monday, but the service was so inefficient there was a queue to order and 3 staff were displaying new stock in the shop area while 2 tables needed to be cleared. When my soup (£5.95!) arrived it was less than warm and I had to send it back to be reheated. My cake was very pretty, but rather heavy. My partner said his sausages, mash and peas were satisfactory and he was pleased to be able to get a pint of pale ale for £3.90.The cafe/shop is comfortable and nicely decorated and there's a garden for warmer weather. For me the last straw was seeing the lady in charge licking her finger to separate 2 order sheets.

After visiting St Davids but failing to buy an Oggie, Welsh version of the Cornish pastie, I went to Mannings as I was told I might get one there. Very lucky to be in front of a local and snaffled the last two Oggies on sale as after I moved away he asked if there were any left.Liked Mannings so much went back next day for a hot chocolate and to try and buy more Oggies to take back to England, but no luck this time.Very interesting organic/ethical deli/cafe which donates 5% of their profits to local charities.On second visit ordered a Spanish almond tart to share but they brought two for the price of one as they felt they were smaller than usual.Lots of locals buying fruit/veg, cakes and all sorts.Must go to place in Fishguard..

We visited for lunch and were going to have panini with a side of chips, but chips were off the menu. We had coffee but found it rather insipid. It could be because there was only a choice of full milk, no skimmed or semi.

Went with a group of friends for a Sunday breakfast and the staff were never anything other than the most helpful, polite and genuinely lovely people. The food was fantastic too. If I wasn’t a tourist and lived in Fishguard this place would definitely become my regular go to!

My favourite cafe in fishguard!! Food is always homemade and can never fault it. Coffee is great with staff super friendly and always helpful. Julie and Ian are doing an amazing job bringing a place like this to fishguard

Called in for a sandwich but disappointed to see that as a coeliac you have to pay extra for GF bread. Very disappointing.The place was bright, clean and dog friendly. Food looked tasty and I did have GF cake, refuse to pay extra for bread, only thing that spoilt the visit.

Nice place to lunch with gorgeous panini’s, quiches and cake. Noticed portions have gone down slightly though which is a shame. :(

We had a quiche salad and a tuna salad to go due to time constraints. Lovely set up of the shop/cafe. Dog friendly, homemade quiches/cakes ect which were delicious, staff were friendly and helpful. Wish I had a Mannings closer to home!

A great little find, good coffee and a great selection of home made food, beautiful fresh veg on sale too,lovely staff, great atmosphere

Visited Mannings for a late lunch, so many delicious choices on offer but decided on roasted vegetable and feta quiche. Was not disappointed! A delicious quiche, generous portion served with fresh salad leaves , coleslaw and couscous. All washed down with a very nice dry white wine. Perfect. Staff were friendly and efficient. We sat in the garden in the sunshine at the back of the shop and it was just lovely.

What a wonderful find!! Great food, friendly staff, lovely decor, nice little shop - totally recommend!
