Quayside Lawrenny Tearoom in Pembrokeshire

Great location, especially the weather is good enough for you to sit outside. Service is excellent and the food matched it. The prices are pretty high, compared to other places, but the place, the service and the quality of food go a long way to making up for it. The ploughman’s lunch is sensational!

Lovely views and lots of outside seating. Really lovely cakes and nice cappuccinos. Very busy at times.

This award-winning tearoom is situated in a beautiful location alongside the Cleddau river midway between Neyland and Landshipping. The place offers delicious snacks, small plates and larger meals accompanied by hot and cold drinks and a yummy selection of freshly baked cakes and tasty desserts, all served both inside and out depending on the weather. Highly recommended are the Quayside's fresh crab sandwiches and crab salad. They also have well-filled baguettes and "blackboard specials" which change every day. When we visited, the weather was not good but the friendly staff and excellent food helped make it a day to remember for all the right reasons.

We have a very good crab sandwich there. Very tasty 😋

Quality food in a lovely location, well worth visiting.

Possibly the best bacon roll I have ever had for breakfast and then a delicious tuna melt panini for lunch. The lattes were excellent as well and the staff were lovely. Highly recommended

Lovely views, friendly staff, dogs included and tasty food

Christmas afternoon tea was lovely - all homemade. Possibly the best key lime pie I’ve tasted.

Beautiful wooden structure, welcoming where you can enjoy an excellent cup of tea or a sandwich for lunch, admiring the bay.

Fantastic lunch at the Quayside tearooms. Had the best Panini and carrot cake. Brilliant service and can’t wait to go back again. Thank you 😊

Very welcoming little quayside tea room At Lawrenny, Pembrokeshire.

What a gem of a place. Quite apart from the beautiful location and views the food was totally delicious. Freshly prepared to order with home made coleslaw and couscous salad garnish. Fresh crab on brown granary and a prawn baguette served by attentive, friendly smiley people. A joy to spend time and money there.

Lovely location, and even lovelier breakfast!

The cafe was closed despite advertising it was open on its website and saying it opened at 11-00am on the door. We arrived at 12-00 and there was no one around. No idea how good the food is because they can’t even be bothered to turn up

We visited with our golden retriever and baby after a lovely walk through the woods. Would highly recommend this cafe, delicious food and excellent service in a beautiful setting! Well done, you've got this just right 👌🏼

Stopped in at the tearoom while doing the circular walk around Lawrenny and we are so glad we did! Ordered a Welsh breakfast and my partner the eggs on sourdough toast. All of the produce was local and all so delicious. Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by at the quay. Dog friendly too which was a bonus - lots of dog treats on the menu 🐾

Lovely Lovely Lovely. Bright and atmospheric with stunning Quayside vistas, boats moored. Impressive selection of fresh food and divine desserts. Particularly recommend the Crab Sandwiches and Seafood salad.

The smallest sandwich ever! The chef even came out with the Artisan bread to show me its “ local” they want to use local ingredients, yet have a Carte D’or ice cream van outside! A teaspoon of couscous salad and a very small garnish of salad x 2 £20 ! Ooops plus 1 coffee. Couldn’t have tap water as it was discoloured?? Clear in the loos with the same water supply?! Cheese & leek tart up by £5 with the addition of a couple of potatoes !

Fantastic lunch with a lovely relaxing view. Definitely one to go back to.

Amazing food and great service in a lovely location. Dogs welcome outside in the garden area, with plenty of benches available.

The word 'tearooms' doesn't do the food justice. Absolutely restaurant standard in a friendly tea room setting, and an amazing location.

Fabulous location. You can eat inside or outside. Menus and food are very good with loads of specials. Service and Staff excellent.

Order the cheesecake. I’ll say no more 😀

A big thank you to the lady serving in the cafe today , it was really busy and we came for lunch for my birthday , one member of staff told us they weren’t doing ice cream sundaes ( which is what we had come for !) but the staff member ( who we think is the daughter of the owner) kindly sorted us out and made my day ! Thank you , great ice cream sundae and a lovely halloumi and avocado salad !

Don’t know if they were just having a bad day but it seemed very unorganised. Staff brought over 2 different meals which weren’t for us, the food was a 30 minute wait even though it wasn’t that busy. I ordered a brie, bacon and cranberry panini but ended up with bacon and Stilton (I really don’t like Stilton but it wasn’t even worth having to wait another half an hour so I swapped with my partner who managed to eat half then he left the rest). Overall it just seemed like the staff didn’t have a clue what they were doing.

Well what can I say......a fabulous venue which when presented with 10 mature ladies unannounced wanting lunch,they could not have been more accommodating. The staff moved tables so we could all sit together......service with a smile. We all ordered lunch and the meals were beautifully presented at roughly the same time and very tasty. We were so delighted with with both the food and service that we had a great luncheon outing . I will most certainly be back again....x

Lovely atmosphere views good food and friendly staff.

We visited this little gem after a lovely long walk. We chose to sit in as the weather was hit and miss and what a charming little place it was and very attentive staff. There were three of us in our party we chose to eat the ham and cheese panini, which was fully loaded, the steak, onion and mushroom baguette which was totally amazing, both of these were served with homemade coleslaw, beautiful side salad and cous cous, also the baguette was served with fresh new potatoes. The other member of our party ordered the ploughman’s which was huge and a great variety of cheese and the best chutney ever. We had to buy a jar of the chutney it was so good. The cakes looked outstanding and such huge pieces we had to have a slice of chocolate sponge to take home and may I say that was scrummy. This place is clean, excellent food and exceptional quality, great staff and great prices. Keep up the good work 5 stars needed for this little gem of a place.

Had a lovely lunch on a sunny day with freshly made crab sandwiches and a blt baguette along with a pitcher of elderflower we had a great time and the quayside tea room is in a great location

Fantastic hidden unspoilt location run by friendly helpful team. Crab sandwiches were amazing with a lovely side salad of homemade coleslaw and couscous with added grains. Couldn’t leave without having a cake as they looked and tasted awesome. Favourite tearoom of our whole week’s stay, loved it!

Coffee and cake in a stunning location with friendly staff what more could you ask for.

A must visit….food is exceptional, service great and staff friendly Quayside is a magical place with beautiful views across the estuary.

The views are outstanding. Plenty of seating at the tearooms, but not much shade outside when eating (shade umbrellas kept blowing over) and no bins available. The local walks are wonderful and brilliant for dogs. Hot day but lots of cool breeze from the water. Good parking.

Lovely food and staff, and stunning scenery. Will visit again.

Excellent service, tea and home made cakes.

Lovely location (made even better in the spring sunshine!) with great view across the estuary. Menu was great, coffee was good. Overall food was excellent- what else could you want?

Lovely tearoom on a beautiful setting on the estuary-fabulous choice on menu-local fresh fish and ingredients and a very popular place to eat-loved it ❤️

Great food and friendly staff in lovely setting.

The service team was nice, the food great and everything tidy. Lovely view over the quay included.

What a hidden gem, lovely food, lovely staff and all over lovely experience. Definitely recommend the steak baguette, lovely selection of food and desserts😋

Have eaten here many times over the years Service/food not what it used to be. Shan't be visiting again ☹️

Not happy bunny! Looked on website could see closed at 5pm! Rung to check when they serve food up until, message to say they cannot pick up phone at the moment but to send message on their website... fast forward to 4:02pm after stood there for a couple of mins at the counter my wife ordered quiche but not serving food after 4pm as they close at 5pm! Right attitude as well exclaiming it's on our website... we had and have checked website nowhere does it state serving food until 4pm... there were 3 other customers having tea outside. It has gone downhill since changing hands, food nowhere near as nice.. never mind! Need to find somewhere if they don't want my custom...

It has gone downhill since changing hands, food nowhere near as nice.. never mind! Need to find somewhere if they don't want my custom... Found the Lawrenny Arms had not been there before as always gone to the Quayside...Wow great welcome at the Lawrenny Arms no worries about them not serving food as they do it all day... had Salmon absolutely gorgeous.. To top it all just had a very rude email back after my review... turns out they stop serving food at 3:30 and it's not on the website that you do not serve food after 3:30 not goood customer care. Give it a miss. **despite owner saying I sent an aggressive email, similar to what is on here... just thanked the owner for not serving us as then discovered Lawrenny Arms...**

So let me start by saying I have been coming here for years. I have always enjoyed the food and everything, however... Visited yesterday and it's really for me no longer the place it use to be, very upmarket looking now which is nice if that's what your looking for, and a huge menu. For me though I used to like it when it was a smaller place with not so many people, the staff actually were more polite and didn't look rushed and had time for you, I'm sure that the chef owner doesn't mind it being so busy as it will be bringing in a great profit but just remember that customer service should always be on key. The food, I've always had the crab sandwich which is still amazing and the price hasn't changed in all the years. I've had other things too and they have always been amazing. So I'm not being negative it is a brilliant place I just think that the staff need to have a little more time to serve and be pleasant to customers. Well done on still being a place I come to after 10 years Edited after the owner replied - I really was not being negative and I have visited in the week several times in the past, however as I have visited from the Midlands this weekend. Your staff were not being rude, they didn't have time for themselves let alone customers. It's great that your business is doing well and I hope it continues to be this way for you. 😀

A pleasant and picturesque spot to sit and watch the inner areas of the Cleddau estuary. Nice coffee, lovely cakes and other food available. Check the website for what's on offer. Great place for a quiet couple of hours with good walking opportunities from the café. Parking easy when not too busy.

A favourite place for our family

We are regular users of Lawrenny tearooms and have been for some years the new owners do a great breakfast as well as quality food during the day it’s one of our favourite local Sunday morning spots

Stopped for lunch at this hidden gem in Lawrenny Quay. Excellent choice of homemade food . Wonderful location coinciding with beautiful weather. Very busy. Welsh Cheese & Leek Tart with new potatoes and salad. Prawn and Pineapple salad - both delicious. Will definitely come back.

Lunch was excellent lovely fresh resourced foods which great choice of menu. Excellent customer service. Eat inside or out under large umbrellas. Dogs allowed inside. Surroundings very peaceful and relaxing looking over the estuary ample free parking. Such a find. There is a separate posh caravan which sells ice creams and hot/cold drinks if you don't to enter the cafe. Prices reasonable, but the posh fancy ice creams from the van is a tad experience the cones are fine. An ideal place to go for good food, lovely surroundings to watch the boats and wildlife and if feeling energetic there is a fantastic NT walk along the estuary through the Oak woodland, via the boatyard. Just have to check the tide times before going as walk transfers onto the estuary down wooden steps.

A small tearoom with the most amazing menu of delicious food to suit anyone. I had the Halloumi and Avacado salad which was delicious. The service was quick (15 mins) even though it was busy. The view is incredible and we were made to feel welcome as we whiled away an afternoon in the sunshine.

I couldn't recommend this cafe more. We were staying at the big retreat and walked down to have a look around. We had a coffee in the stunning setting, then moved on to lunch. I had the quiche, and my friend had the bean burger....

Absolutely 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a breakfast oasis. Amazing full english!!! The range of breads (and plenty of butter). What more could two hungry festival goers want….THANK YOU ❤️❤️

Beautiful location, with excellent food, we had a ploughman’s, really good value and a lovely mix of cheese,ham, salads and new potato, as well as crusty bread and biscuits, a veggie burger again with salads and new potato, both well presented and tasted great, be...

New owner who obviously take pride in their food and service. 5* with a lovely view.

Beautifully Food, Stunning Setting, and Lovely Staff. Haven't been since July 2021 when we felt it was a bit of a letdown. We're so glad we decided to return. New owners who obviously take pride and their food and service. The food was outstanding and...

Brilliant! Friendly staff and cakes to die for! Sandwiches welcomed after a walk but I didn’t like the couscous.

Called in for a couple of cokes and two brownies with my mate. Came to £14 which was a bit steep, but the staff wouldn't give us a single serve pot of cream to go with it without extra payment. Bit of a joke really...

Over many visits, never disappointed, staff are always pleasant and the selection of food is glorious. Recommend the crab sandwich and banoffee pie, both to die for. If it’s just coffee and cake, lunch or just an ice cream, this is such a pleasant spot to visit.

Very nice food, friendly & professional service, great scenery

Lovely oasis for lunch or a coffee

Great service as always but the ploughman's was exceptional both in terms of quality and value for money. By far one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Can there be a more serene setting for such lovely food? Second visit this year, usually come every year, and never a better few hours spent. The pretty estuary with first class lunch options. Much more than a tea room. I will be there again...

I bought my mum lunch here and it was very nice thanks a lot 👌

Very nice lunch here and great location.

Amazing food in a stunning location. I had the homemade quiche which was to die for and my partner had the Burger which he said was the best he’s had. Very impressed & staff brilliant. See you again soon!

A great lunch, everything delicious especially the crab and our favourite ice cream. No space for cakes but they looked equally yummy. Fantastic walk (not accessible) around the headland to walk off the calories.

Lovely tea room and restaurant under new management . Friendly service and excellent choice of vegan and vegetarian options with daily specials board . It was my first time here and I will definitely call again . Beautiful location as well .

A family afternoon at the Quayside Tearoom. We were spoilt for choice with the menu and delighted with our selections. Delicious fresh food and a refreshing jug of water with elderflower, lime and cucumber served at an outdoor table overlooking the estuary. Although very busy,...

Nice food. Excellent view. pet and child friendly

Beautiful tearooms along the estuary, excellent food (we had the quiche which was lovely!). Worth the slight detour for the view and the cakes!

Excellent, quality food. Fab menu. Excellent table service. Wonderful views. Super indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely staff. Amazing location

Awesome little place, the cakes are amazing and the size are huge. Very clean

Lovely cosy, friendly atmosphere. Beautiful views across the river. Cake & coffee were beautiful. Food looked amazing on other tables. We will certainly be back again.

This cafe is in a fabulous location at the side of the estuary. The food is very good and the slices of cake are huge! Slightly expensive I thought, but very high quality food and good service.

Had a lovely vegan falafel wrap ,the staff was lovely and sell all local products !!would definitely go back again

Underwhelmed with the food. Young waitresses friendly, smiling and professional. Senior staff miserable looking and surly.

We visited a few years ago and had absolutely beautiful lunch so wanted to return while on holiday this year! Absolutely the best lunch we've had all holiday, all the food is so fresh and delicious. Bacon Brie be cranberry panini was the best I've...

Lovely spot overlooking river with plenty of outdoor seating. Food was freshly made with fresh and seasonal ingredients.

Good service. Lovely homemade cakes. Served in good time, especially since we were a big group.

Stunning views, friendly staff, delicious food, thoroughly recommend a visit

Tried this coffee shop which has always been a favourite of ours. As it was a lovely sunny day we thought we would have a ice cream. Went to the counter and asked for two single scope cones. Then went to the other counter to pay. Here the waitress said you have two double scopes. I said no they are single, she then shouted across the shop "THESE ARE DOUBLE SCOPES ARNT'T THEY" This was in front of a full shop and a long queue . The girl serving the ice cream shouted back no they are singles. Well said the cashier "she is being too generous" A somewhat embarrassing experience. Shame really. No apology or acknowledgement for embarrassment she caused. Will be along time before we go back

Really lovely cafe next to the quay in Lawrenny. Fabulous cakes and pastries, delicious ice creams and amazing breakfast and lunch all served here daily. The cafe, which has just recently opened under new management is family run and the service is excellent, plus it...

My daughter is visiting from Bristol so we managed to visit for lunch on your last open day this year. She really enjoyed her crab sandwich, as I did my prawns. Really generous fillings, well presented in a box. Very well organised with the buzzer on each table and facilities for us to do our own recycling. Even though the Sun didn’t shine it was lovely to be there by the river, we will be back next year.

Fantastic service. Coped excellently with Covid .

Absolutely fantastic. Been going there for many years and so impressed with their system. As always food was delicious.

Lovely food and great covid safe service, we had salad baguette, bacon roll and after chatting for a while an ice cream sundae each. I am so glad we went as it closes this week for the season , definitely a return visit when they...

A wonderful quiet quayside setting. Lovely tea,coffee and cakes.

We went there today and had a lovely meal - quiche and mackerel pate - and of course the view across the waterway is exceptional. They have a very small indoor space which is not being used but plenty of space outdoors with well spaced...

Sat by the estuary, outside but under an umbrella to fend off occasional showers. Freshly prepared, locally sourced excellent picnic style lunch boxes, served by friendly staff and perfectly priced. Pleased we carried on past the pub... Quayside does beers etc too.

No indoor eating yet . A bit disappointing. Ate outside. Ham and Pembroke potatoes excellent. Ciabatta with ham and cheese. Ham excellent. Although covid is still with us I think it's time to open inside. Great views.

Superb food in a fabulous place. Great even if the sun is not shining.

Wonderful food. Quick and friendly service. Amazing location. A real gem 😃

The tearoom is situated a stone's throw from the estuary and there is always some activity on the river, depending on the tide, to help you lose track of time. The menu is quite cosmopolitan and varies from local crab and lobster to baguettes and cakes. If it rains you can retreat to the car, the food is still delicious. If the weather is with you the location is superb. Covid rules apply at the mo so seating is on picnic benches outside with pagers and ordering and collection are at separate windows. When the order is ready your pager rings, works well. Recycling the rubbish is made easy by clearly marked bins. Dog friendly.

Lovely food, nice quick service

Food amazing, scenery beautiful. We went for a 45 minute walk through the woods, across a field (where the views of the estuary were incredible) then back through the village. Then had lunch at the tea rooms. Cannot recommend the food enough. However the amount...

I love the dressed crab from here and the location. Still no inside seating, which I can understand, but it means if the weather is not too good you have to endure it.

Excellent place for lunch - really like the lack of plastics.

Average coffee and hot chocolate. Food menu looked very good, home made dishes.

Well organised operating a covid secure cafe meals organised in cardboard containers nice food

Great food. Friendly folk and great Covid system
