Rib & Oyster in Pembrokeshire

Freshness from their butchery and fishermen supplies to their shop/restaurant and cooked on their own premises! What more can you ask for? Absolutely unique because of the owners knowledge of his product and cooking direct accordingly! Wish there were more butchers/fishmongers cooking their products onsight in this country. When we left there was the brightest rainbow and I'm sure one end was into the Rib & Oyster premises (rightly so).

As you can see from my profile I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to do so to hopefully help sway you to coming here for a bit to eat as we did. We were staying a bluestone and fancied some seafood to treat ourselves during our stay. It is a cosy shop which doubles up as a restaurant to serve lunch and dinner. We went for dinner, which is only on wed-sun at the moment i think due to low season, but it didn’t take long to fill up due to its cosy and welcoming feel. Don’t be put off by paying the £10 deposit as there are around 10/12 tables they need to ensure those larger ones are filled. The menu is simple with daily specials and priced fair for the quality and freshness of food. Our table had the “surf” - seafood plater which was fresh full of variety with bread to mop up the tasty mussels sauce and steaks which were cooked to perfection tasty. Also have a menu which caters to all the standard little one’s needs who had chicken strips and chips. (Other options are sausages/pasta and meatballs) Staff were very friendly, attentive to our needs and requests during our meal. Little tip: Whilst there is no parking on the street there is free parking just behind past the post office which is a short walk down a hill or coop which is further away but on a flat surface.

The food here was incredible. Steak, fish and shellfish all exceptional. If you come here, remember to bring cash as they take card payment but only cash tips!

Another lovely meal at the Rib and Oyster. Friendly service from Malley and the food was excellent, we have the seafood platter. Will definitely go back!

Absolutely fantastic food, we loved the shared platter to start and the red snapper was the best I have had. The service was excellent and so welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We will be back again soon!

We learned about this restaurant when we were living in Cardiff. It didn’t disappoint ! The food was amazing and the staff were fantastic. Now understand why it’s booked up every night. Glad the restaurant is now on our doorstep. 👍👍👍

Absolutely delicious meal. We had the surf and turf platter which was amazing. Atmosphere was lovely, nice decor and great service. Right by the train station, buses running and easy to get a taxi so if you’re staying in Pembrokeshire, would definitely recommend. Outside could do with a bit of TLC just to make it stand out more e.g. canopy. But does not make a difference to the amazing food and service. Can’t wait to go back. Craving those mussels 😍

Stunning Bank Holiday lunch with the family today (2 Adults 3 Kids) plenty of options, amazing service and stunning food.

An amazing meal at the Rib & Oyster as always. Very generous portions and great food. Staff there are always friendly and attentive. Love the new menu! Great at catering for dietary requirements, I am gluten and dairy free and didn’t feel like I missed out at all!

A lovely gem of a find. Service was faultless, food was delicious. Only down side was the possibility of having more of a selection. Almost like a tapas selection, cockles, prawns, mussells, oysters, lavabread etc. I'm not a huge fish eater but a few small dishes would be ideal. Other than that, would definitely go back.

This is fast becoming a family favourite place to eat, our daughter and boyfriend went on Friday, totally enjoyed, we've been today. Everything from starter to pudding was amazing, such a massive treat. Staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Felt guilty that we didn't have enough cash on us to leave a decent tip for them all. Have had meat and fish from them too, again quality produce. Well done guys and thanks for making easter Sunday special.

We went here for a lovely start to our holiday and it really was! We had the steak and camembert sharing platter to start and then 1/2 lobster with jacket potatoes and seasonal vegetables! So delicious 😋 we ate every bit! Service was super and very welcoming! The bill was £103 for two courses for two, and three soft drinks, so not bad considering the freshness of produce, quality and quantity of food and beautiful presentation.We would highly recommend!

Was looking forward to this but unfortunately was a big let down. Staff were nice but food below average and considering the high prices and high expectations we were left very disappointed. 2 of my 3 (£9) garlic prawns were over cooked and no sign of garlic butter. Mushroom compote was just a weird smudge and my partners ribeye steak was fatty and rare in some places, not medium rare and not particularly well cooked. My fillet was okay. On the bright side the bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon blanc was very nice. So basically expected better and left disappointed.

Superb place. Only a small restaurant that also serves as a fishmongers and butchers. We had the set lunch menu, 3 courses for £20 and it was amazing. Great staff and great food, what more could you want. Will definitely be back again!

Excellent seafood platter starter. Ok hon croquet starter. Very good steak main. Excellent red snapper main. Service - Excellent (best we have ever had)

If you like fresh fish and meat this place is hard to beat. As a complete fish fanatic the lobster was out of this world. My boys demolished the turf sharing plate. We will 100% be back. Absolutely amazing food and service with a smile....

We booked a table for lunch at Rib & Oyster which is a family run restaurant in Kilgetty, while visiting Saundersfoot, only a couple of miles away. Warm welcome upon arrival where a beautiful display of fresh Seafood and Meats are in the front shop...

Absolutely fabulous there, from the greeting by the really friendly and helpful staff to the excellent food. You are greeted at the door and then shown to your table, then presented with menu and told about daily specials. Your drinks order is taken you then...

Great meal and great service! Food freshly cooked and very tasty! Staff are great - friendly but not overbearing which is perfect! Will definitely be back!

Food was superb and imaginative, Gravlax starter and Gurnard fillets for main course. Well cooked, well presented, very tasty, good portions. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Strongly recommended

What an amazing find! Perfectly cooked food in delightful surroundings with charming staff. We wanted to eat good seafood and we weren't disappointed. Monkfish and Gurnard were delicious. If we lived closer, we'd be here all the time, but this restaurant is worth making another...

The service was very good and the food was second to none. Delicious and well presented. Planning my next trip there next week.

Excellent sharing platter to start. Wonderful steaks and burgers for main course. Service was excellent and highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back again.

We've dined here several times and is always excellent. We had the 3 course lunch menu for £20 which is amazing value for money. No poncy foraging and foam nonsense here, just great fresh produce cooked well. Wish we lived closer.

We had lunch here as a family today. Absolutely outstanding ! Cracking wine-list. The lamb kidney starter was delicious, as was the scallop dish. For mains, my Mum had battered Hake & chips, which she loved. My wife & I shared the Surf & Turf...

We ate lunch at the Rib and Oyster today. We choose the Tapas option as never had Tapas before. 4 dishes for £20 Couldn't fault it. Staff were very friendly, the service was great. The food was fresh and simple and delicious. One of my...

Visited with froends on Sunday whilst staying in Tenby for the rugby. Firstly the staff, the 2 waitresses front of house could not do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was outstanding, we had a selection of tapas for...

Great food and very good customer service. They were extremely dog friendly which makes all the difference. Couldn’t fault anything about the evening and will be back.

Not very impressed. Went there for daughter’s wedding and was good. This time was poor, starter was good, main was average with mushy peas plastered all over the potatoes. The menu didn’t mention mushy peas, if it had I would have told them that I...

Fabulous tapas Sunday lunch with fantastic friendly service. A must for anyone visiting the area. Would recommend to anyone

My mum and dad have been promising to take me here for ages. They love it. Had an amazing tapas meal with some gear food and drink. Staff very friendly and helpful. Tried my first oyster and loved it. Will definitely go again!!!!

Fantastic service and food would recommend and will definitely return again,have been here a few times and it’s always excellent

Lovely little place in Kilgetty. Extensive tapas menu which was fabulous and a superb meatloaf special. The staff were very efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Went to Rib & Oyster tonight with my partner for dinner, it was our first ever visit. WOW what a little gem this restaurant is. There was only us two dining as we were booked in early at 5.45 pm , the ambiance is lovely,...

Absolutely lovely little restaurant. My husband, my son and myself came for a meal a couple of nights ago. They were happy for our dog to sit in the corner on his rug and gave him lots of fuss (v dog friendly). The staff were...

What an amazing lunch. Tapas menu is 4 small plates for £20. A huge variety and choice for pescatarians and meat eaters. Service with a smile. The restaurant is close to the fresh meat and fish counter of this bustling place. We gained a lot...

We chose to dine here as the hotel we were saying at The Grove restaurant wasn’t open. The website has some amazing photos of the food on offer so it was an easy choice.On arrival the restaurant could be at best described as a cafe....

We ate on 10th January 2024. We ordered the platter. It took quite a while to arrive which I didn't mind as I knew there a lot of elements within the dish. The chips arrived which were lovely & hot/fresh. The main arrived & a...

Honestly the best platter I have ever had! Luckily for us Monkfish was the fish of the day and the Ribeye steak we had was cooked to perfection. We have been back a few times since as well for Sunday dinner- absolutely stunning!

Visited with family for a birthday treat. Very disappointed with the new menu especially for tapas, all very calorific. The main menu has been reduced too because of this addition. The bruschetta with roasted tomato was lovely but the olives with bread and dipping oil...

Too noisy , not enough choice on the menu … nothing like the website … special had run out by 1915. Would not be in a hurry to come back

Absolutely first class meal, we had the sharing platter which was delicious, also the ambience and service (Christie and a lovely young girl , sorry didn’t ask your name) was impeccable, really friendly and relaxed vibe , can’t wait to return.

I had a 10oz sirloin steak with tiger prawns and can honestly say it’s the best steak I’ve had west of Cardiff my wife had Lamb shank and she said it was “bloody lovely “ The staff were friendly and the price was good Will...

Went new year's Eve as good as ever lovely food and nice friendly atmosphere goodchoise on menu i had scallops and duck i was very pleased and good service

Impromptu visit to the Rib & Oyster on New Years Day 2024. We phoned at 11:30 to see if they could fit us in and we were so glad when they said, 'no problem'. 30 mins later we were at the table. We had the...

An amazing meal accompanied by a great singer. Worth every penny! Didn't take any photos of our meal as I was too busy eating!!!

Fantastic food, fantastic prices and fantastic service! Will definitely be back again, such a delicious meal!

Very very disappointing. What can I say from the moment we arrived. The waitress didn’t acknowledge we were waiting and carried on regardless, we waited a good 5 minutes before another lady came to serve us. If we hadn’t paid £20 deposit we would have...

What an amazing lovely restaurant. Small Quaint friendly and well looked after by the staff and local people. It was my Birthday and we went for the Seafood Platter with added Fillet steak and Scallops. Honestly “One of the best sharing platters” I’ve ever had....

We both had sea bream with sandfire which was very good and perfectly cooked. One with chips and the other with a baked potato. We were the only ones there in the beginning and it just lacked ambience and atmosphere. We will probably try it...

Attended Rib and Oyster after recommendation from family members to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had the sharing platter. Best meal we have ever had. Staff very friendly and polite

Fab little restaurant, staff are all very friendly and the food is absolutely fantastic. The seafood sharing platter is a great way to try everything. It was so good that we went twice in the same week while staying in the area on holiday. Will...

Small restaurant, friendly service, excellent Monkfish and Plaice fillets served with seasonal veg. and new pots. Will most certainly recommend RIB & OYSTER to friends and will visit again.

My husband booked Rib and oyster for my birthday celebrations to enjoy with our family. The waitress from start to finish was welcoming, friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. Both myself and nephew had half a lobster each and it was a monster! We...

I have had both the Sunday lunch and their takeaway hake and chips. Both were good. The fish and chips is very reasonably priced - only available on Mondays though (when the local chippies is closed). The desert with Sunday lunch and the coffee was...

Had such a good lunch on Wednesday lunch, well cooked fresh fish with friendly service, went back Friday evening. Just as good, whole fresh fish off the specials board, fantastic local ingredients, cooked simply but so so well. Service excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food! We phoned up last minute, but they were happy to accommodate us. The food was next level! Not just good grub, this was a restaurant that knows their food and take pride in the dishes they serve; every mouthful full of flavour and...

Just a special place, amazing honest food with great provenance, friendly staff who are knowlegable and who provided a great service. You won't be disappointed, we all left with full tummies and big smiles. Can't wait to go back thank you guys. Just perfect, I...

Excellent fish menu, the mussels starter and brill main were excellent. Attentive and friendly staff and good value. First visit, will be back

Went to try as we had heard great things. Quite simply delicious. Good food cooked to the highest standard. Will be going back again very soon.

We visited for my birthday lunch and had the best Prawns and Fish of the day we’ve ever had. Incredible food, lovely staff, would recommend going out of your way to dine here

We had heard so much good about the food that we decided to book. We had reviewed the menu prior to and although nothing really struck as “oh let’s try that”. On arrival our table for two was setup next to each other which we...

One of the best meals we've ever had and we've eaten in some places! We had the surf and turf sharing platter and it was amazing. The only criticism would be that quite a few if the clam shells were empty but the quality of...

We visited here tonight for my husbands birthday. We ordered 3 courses & each one was beautiful. The setting is so relaxing, staff are so lovely yet professional. Extra bonus was, we were able to take our lovely dog Mabelle. Thank you, we will definitely...

Didn’t visit but did thoroughly enjoy Sunday lunch delivered to our door while holidaying near by. The lamb and beef was top notch and the veg all fresh. Also supplied extra gravy. Well done Gavin and your team. Our dinners were delicious. Brilliant service.

First of all. All those who have any complaints about this establishment must be extremely fussy eaters or just moaners in general. Attentive staff from the word go, pleasant and helpful. Food is as the title says.Top Notch and very generous servings. All in all...

We were tourist in Kilgetty and since it was Sunday, we tried our luck to go without reservation but they still accomodated us. Although the seafoods were sold out already, we were given roast beef option which we still enjoyed. Staff were very friendly and...

Fantastic fresh ingredients Lovely butchers shop Restaurant small but perfectly formed. When we dined a summer menu A few dishes weee sold out but when a fresh menu that is what you expect

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Rib n Oyster. The staff are welcoming and friendly. We ordered the platter for two - and as it was National Lobster Day - got a whole lobster (not half) at no extra charge! Very generous of them. Food...

Booked in for Sunday lunch, 3pm sitting, Very friendly Staff, superb service and we were very pleased with the food, lamb was cooked to perfection, nice selection of veg, and very nice portion size, thank you to all the staff and chef at the rib...

Had a lovely evening, food was superb, staff were friendly and extremely helpful when we needed anything. This was our second visit and certainly won’t be our last!

The fish and chips are great, had them to take away and was impressed so went and had eat in a few days later. Eat in is a scaled up version (big portion) with home made mushy peas and tartare sauce. The chips on both...

We’ve bought some lovely fresh meat & fish from Rib & Oyster before & had the chance to try their take away hake & chips last night. Oh god it was so good. Very thin crispy batter on the thick fillet of hake & perfect...

We treated ourselves to a meal here as we were staying at the Folly Farm Luxury Lodges 10 mins drive away for a week in July. My wife and our 2 children (12 and 9) all really enjoyed the meals, my eldest having lobster for...

Expected this place to be small and quirky after reading about the 'shop' side and also how few tables they had. It was actually such a disappointment, i bought hubby a voucher for his birthday after seeing many insta posts about this place, we booked...

Was really looking forward to going here after seeing reviews but ended up disappointed. The place itself being in a butchers shop is odd and lacked atmosphere. Being Friday afternoon i thought it would have been busier. We shared a starter of popcorn cockles and...

Perfectly cooked seafood and meat, we have had scallops, prawns, terrine, red bream, monkfish, rib eye and lamb- all so delicious and fresh and up to the highest standards. We were planning to visit rib and oyster for a while now as everyone was praising...

The minute we walked in we felt we were an inconvenience to the staff. Not a very nice welcome , menus not handed to us and no explanation of specials etc. services was just frosty throughout and staff disappeared for long period almost avoiding customers....

The Rib and Oyster is a little gem, The food was awesome, I had scallops for a stater and lobster for my main , my husband had steak and double chocolate cheesecake. The food was delicious and every mouthful brought on an implosive errmmm. The...

Probably one of the best seafood meals we have ever had! Very friendly staff as well!! It’s well worth the trip for their seafood sharing platter

Really enjoyable meal although in a shop experience rather than a fully fledged restaurant. That aside the food and wine was very good and an overall enjoyable evening

Absolutely stunning. The beef melted in your mouth the gravy was to die for and the vegetables perfect and to top it off a proper homemade Yorkshire pudding. The staff were really friendly and welcoming.

Booked a few weeks in advance. Visited with family 4 adults and an 8 year old. Service was lacking as the restaurant was full and 2 waitresses were very busy. We had a round of drinks, but difficult to get a 2nd drink as waitresses...

Booked a table a few months ago. Before turning up we were set on the platter, however the special fish pie looked so good passing the table that we went for that. A very decent size portion that I shared by with my 8 year...

Went for lunch, and was pleased with the cozy settings of the tables. Had the most amazing gamba prawns which were incredibly tasty with a very light sauce, wife is coeliac and was delighted that the menu is virtually all gluten free, she had the...

We went there for my birthday with our two children. We"ve heard good things about the restaurant and we weren't disappointed. Firstly the staff was great with the kids and were very accommodating when the boys asked for the chicken skewers on sale in the...

Fabulous food , well worth a visit. The best oysters ( au natural) and steak I have had. Huge juicy oysters that didn’t disappoint followed by a fillet steak perfectly cooked. Husband had the house special burger which again was delicious.

A return visit, this time for our anniversary. Great friendly service and the food was beautiful. We had the sharing platter, my wife said the mussels were the best she'd ever had, the fillet steak, was so well seasoned and tender, turbot, large prawns, lobster,...

Shocking attitude after having to cancel due to daughter being unwell. Totally understand that table and bookings are important however life happens also ! Think twice before booking.

Outstanding service friendly and engaging without any intrusion. Very relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent we enjoyed the platter and fish of the day all cooked to perfection. Clearly outstanding produce treated with real care and attention. Steak was perfectly cooked to our liking. Can’t wait...

The gamba prawns were a real treat, the fish was cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and our evening was relaxed and very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quirky, rather weird place, but has excellent food. We were at a table for more than 15 minutes, before they remembered about us. We had delicious fish but were told by one waitress that there was no white wine, when we asked the other waitress...

Incredible sea food and steak platter for sharing. Absolutely beautiful. Lovely cosey venue . Brilliant staff . We were really looked after and have told everyone where we are staying about this wonderful find

We went here for the first time last night, not the easiest place to get in as only 10 tables and it’s very popular. However when you are in, you can see why! The atmosphere is so lovely, just what you expect from a small,...

Couldn’t have been more impressed on our first visit to this restaurant, great food , terrific value for money and excellent service from the staff . We’re already looking forward to our next visit in a few days time . Special mention and thanks to...

Once again another amazing meal at the Rib&Oyster. My husband had lamb and said he could have licked the plate it was so good. I had a fillet steak with garlic butter. Chocolate brownie was ‘to die for’. We booked for next time before we...

Went to rib oyster terrible food Overpriced bad staffing all stood around in kitchen talking and visible through glass steak not fresh and badly cooked one tomato and two small onion rings with chips for £30 pound not even a mushroom. Very poor won’t be...

We were really looking forward to visiting Rib and Oyster but were so disappointed with the service and food. Service was appalling (waitresses in kitchen most of the time when people waiting to be seated). We ordered steak with prawns (surf and turf),flavourless steak which...

Had a lovely lunch here today - it was hard to choose from such a great menu, but I had the “red fish” and my aunt had the lobster. Both were delicious and the sides did not disappoint - crispy and fluffy chips and a...

Great choice of menu. Lots of fish options and steak. Loved the popcorn cockles, scallops and oysters to start. We had sea bass, yellow sole and monkfish. All were delicious. The kids fish and chips were huge. Great service too!
