Rowlies Fish & Chips in Pembrokeshire

Beautiful food, staff were very pleasant and very quick service. 100% I will be visiting again when working in the area!

We found this superb restaurant on a dreary wet cold day but...it was a great find..lovely happy staff..lovely food..Great selection on the menu..we all loved our visit..thanks to you all..10/10

I came once last year on holiday and knew I had to come back again! The staff were so friendly. I had a regular fish and chips and it was amazing! So tasty! The batter was perfect and the chips were delicious!

Closest of 2 chippies in Pembroke. Sit in and takeway. Had to clarify my order 3 times after being overcharged as the man on the till wasn't listening! Confusing to have small, regular and king sized cod. Chips were the best ever! My advice for a couple, would be have a small cod each and share a large chips. That was £5.50 x 2 + £3.80.

Curry sauce banging. Fish cake banging. Chips exceptional. Decent prices. Staff very empathetic to hanger. Quick service. Takes card.

We passed by it by chance on our way out of the castle... Great welcome and excellent fish and chips. Coming to the UK and not eating it would be a scandal! 😁 Go ahead with your eyes closed

Clean, welcoming, friendly, fresh fish, crispy batter, tasty mushy peas. Couldn't fault it. Fish and chips reviews are very subjective, particularly between the beef dripping and oil factions. Being from Yorkshire we would have preferred them to have been fried in beef dripping but that's not what they do here or anywhere around here so we ate what they gave us and we enjoyed it very much. We would happily repeat the experience.

The fish and Chips were excellent,. The chips were beautiful and not soggy

We dined in. Service was excellent, with amazing quality food, all at a great price. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous fish 🐟 and chips with curry sauce and gravy . Had regular cod and chips crispy batter really tasty would definitely 😋 recommend .

Great food. Fantastic service. Situated within Pembroke Town Walls and in sight of the Pembroke Castle. Enjoy the freshly cooked food and a taste of Pembroke.

Had a chicken breast, curry sauce and a portion of chips. The curry sauce was very tasty and spicy. The chicken breast was average and small in size. I have to say the chips were absolutely awful. Greasy and soggy. I ate about six of them. Some of the worst chips I have had from a chip shop. Totally devoid of fluffiness and crispiness. On a family holiday thankfully and not my local chip shop. The order for a family of six cost £68.

I’m sorry but this was the worst fish and chips . Greasy and soggy old chips and the fish didn’t even taste like fish …over fried and awful. Can’t believe that you would serve this type of food to the public.

Not impressed awaiting feed back

My family and I ordered fish and chips from this place and it was oily greasy expensive and tasted horrible. Everyone felt sick some of us threw up. Wouldn’t recommend!

In Pembroke overnight en route to Ferry to ROI, stopped at Rowlies to buy takeaway F & C but on seeing the place chose to eat in. Pleasant & spotless surroundings, superb food, excellent service from friendly staff, very reasonable prices. What's not to like !!

Very tasty food, friendly service and nice decor! Would come again, especially as they are dog friendly We had nuggets and chips, as well as homemade pie.

This is a fabulous place to eat if you just worked up an appetite after walking round Pembroke castle. Food was fabulous, very large portions, so make sure you're hungry. And staff were amazing.

Excellent service, friendly staff, good food, large portions and quick service, reasonably priced.

Great fish and chips. Good sized, well cooked cod, and a large portion of excellent chips. They have mushy peas, which as a northerner, is a great thing. They have an extensive menu, as well as alcoholic drinks, if that's what you want. Loved our food. Service was quick and friendly. What's not to like?

Excellent chippy shop in the center of Pembroke, parking could be an issue despite there are paid parking lots nearby.

A very good fish&chips place. Good portions and very good service

Sat in and had a fantastic meal, food was fresh and loads of it

Rowlies is a staple of Pembroke Main Street, sitting right on the corner of the busy junction and in the heart of Pembroke. I remember visiting Rowlies years ago when I was a kid and I have fond memories of ordering a large chips and eating them down by the Mill Pond. 20 years on and Rowlies is still such a favourite of mine. The portions are generous, the prices fair and the staff are ever so kind and quick. There is a good amount of seating inside and if not, the many scenic spots around Pembroke make for a beautiful view to accompany your fish and chips. What else is there to say? A classic fish and chips shop in a beautiful town. Perhaps just as iconic as the castle itself. Google seems to think it's a hotel but as far I know Rowlies is just a fish and chip shop.

The food was okay but the fish was more batter than fish. The children's meal was a good size. Friendly service.

Being able to dine-in, this beautiful fish and chip shop is great, especially with the amazing chips, curry and the batter is the best part! The service and waiting on the food was not a problem, everything was worth going here

Visited here several times when on holiday over the last few years. It has always been a great experience and usually eat in as opposed to take away. The restaurant area is nice and is dog friendly with a good food and drinks menu. Prices are good and the food is great, I highly rated the chips. Service has also been spot on. I would recommend this place to anyone....almost as good as my own local 😊.

Cod, chips and scampi are so so good! Nice staff too.

Big serving sizes, good food, but you have to wait a little bit if you sit down for lunch.

Best fish and chips we ever eaten

Late lunch delicious and very good prices. We ate in.

Rowlies is always amazing for takeout fish and chips. It’s our annual ’go to’ destination when camping at Kingsmill Camping in Pembrokeshire after erecting the tents. Superb portions, good value and great food for adults and kids. All the usual condiment's available: mushy peas, curry sauce, geeking and pickled eggs.

Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had!! Not sure why Google thinks this is a hotel, but had to come on and say just amazing fish and chips. We ate in the restaurant and was served immediately. There was always a line of people waiting out of the door for the takeaway side, as everyone knows what good food they do here. 10/10

Tasty battered sausage. Best ever! Tasty cod, but dry. Chips were very disappointing. Not the standard we’ve had here previously.. Dry, bland, and couldn’t taste the salt and vinegar. Staff polite as always!

Stopped for lunch fab food lovely fish and chips

Visited based on the positive reviews seen on this site. Dined in and the restaurant section was clean and spacious. The food was great and one of the best fish and chips I have ever had. The batter was very light and not greasy. The chips were great and the portion size offered value for money. Whilst only visiting the area, I’d recommend and go back if I had the chance.

Excellent quality and friendly staff

Fish was cooked to perfection, chips were great and from Manchester so know my chips. Lovely service and the seating area was modern, clean with plenty of room.

Good food and friendly service akways

The battered sausage was really nice, even the batter was tasty. On first looks, the curry sauce didn’t look up to par, but it was surprisingly nice. The chips, however, let it down, as you can see some are undercooked and at the bottom they were soggy.

Great service. Huge portions. However the batter could have had more flavour in my opinion.

First class chippy. Very clean and tidy,great seating area.visited today for cod and chips.WOW!! Lovely cod with crispy batter,not soggy.Chips also crispy,Yummy food. Great service, very pleasant staff.Go here when in Pembroke you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely lovely place. Food was great. Staff were friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely visit again & recommend. Even the dog was allowed in the restaurant. Thanks guys

Really tasty fish & chips at a very good price - we will be coming back when we return to Pembrokeshire!

Very central and tidy fish and chips eatery. Wide selection of dishes reasonably priced, service attentive. So many chips in the dish, certainly a plus!

We always treat ourselves to Rowlies Fish and Chips when holidaying in Pembrokeshire and are never disappointed. The portions are generous and the cod and chips really tasty. The restaurant looks clean and orderly and staff are always professional. We’ll be back.

Amazingly delicious and walking distance from the castle (where I chose to eat) Fast service and good fish and chips. The gravy was great as well!

Had fish and chips/fishcake here with my husband and son after searching for a chippy we could dine in while visiting for thr weekend. Very tasty food, big portions and very lovely, polite, friendly staff. Clean and modern decor inside. Would definitely recommend!

Were hungry after visiting the castle and had a very good meal here! Had three different plates and everything was fresh, tasty and very plentiful. Plus extremely friendly service and a clean atmosphere!

Great dog friendly fish and chips! We took our FOUR large dogs in and the staff weren’t phased….we’ll be going back again!

Lovely dining area with plenty of room. The cod is delicious and kids meals are a decent size. Very clean. A good place to return to.

Amazing fish & chips. Good service & pleasant people. Still the best Chippy in Pembrokeshire.

It's a lovely cozy good quality fish and chip shop it doesn't have rooms hence the star rating

Lunch was amazing, one of the best fish and chips I ever had. Both chips and fish were mot oily at all. Nice atmosphere too.

Medium cod & chips was tasty, though I did feel the amount of batter gave the impression the cod was larger than it actually was, also would have been better to have choice of not only white bread but brown too. There was a small amount of salad served with it which had a strange tasting dressing, probably just something I wasn't used to, though my friend wasn't keen on it either tbh. Warm, clean restraunt.

Amazing fish and chips! Really high quality and super quick service considering the takeaway and restaurant were busy!

We're locals but had never been to Rowlies before tonight, always loved driving past and seeing all the Christmas decor so we decided to give it a go and it has absolutely become our new go-to for a chippy tea! Chips were perfectly cooked and flavourful, curry sauce was my favourite, gravy, pie and beans all lush 10/10 would recommend. We sat in to eat and the restaurant was gorgeous, food came out so quickly and all the staff were so lovely! We'll definitely be back again! ❤️

Best fish and chips in pembroke to eat in or takeaway.

Simply the best Fish 'n' Chips you can get. Crispy battered sumptuous fish, and the chips are amazing......just can't resist this place - no pun intended!

One of the best chip shops around, eat in or take away, great chips!!!

Had a great chippy takeaway from here. Chips are lovely so is the curry sauce. Would definitely recommend trying this place out. You can even eat in!!

Excellent food and prices..lovely staff, friendly atmosphere. definitely visit again.

Spotlessly clean. Friendly staff. Good traditional chip shop food...we ate in the restaurant. Dog friendly. Has become a regular visit for us

Excellent fish and chips , which we enjoyed whilst sitting in the cafe. It was our first visit but I am sure we will go again

Výborné fish and chips a dobré místní cidery, spokojenost

Some of the best fish and chips we've ever had and served by really nice and friendly staff. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Amazing service..nice food..fare prices

Great meal, would definitely recommend

Only had take away chips but they were the best ever. Am going back to have fish and chips in the cafe.

I gave a polite review previously although highly accurate. As I cannot respond to your answer any other way here it is. The food was absolutely disgusting, the grease fat and salt over powered everything. I have been leaving reviews on trip advisor for over 10 years, I do not have to put a profile on for anyone!! Your food is awful!! Rapeseed does not taste of salt!!! We had already gone away from the town by the time we had the food, we were not going to return. It was disgusting full stop. If you can't take criticism seriously then you will not last much longer. Especially given your hygiene rating of 2..sort yourself and your business out, your attitude is like your food!! Terrible!!!!

Truly excellent food. The missus couldn't quite finish her chips so we got a tray to take the rest away, they're far too good to waste! Staff are super nice too 😊.

Best chips I've had in ages. Friendly service

Nice enough food but way to pricey for avarge fish and chips

Hadn’t been here for since last year as the last couple of times food was very dry and well under par . Went last night on way home from work at 7.30, we had been looking forward to our favourite place - Mr Chips - all day, but for some reason it had closed early. I thought maybe Rowlies had improved so would give it another go but Nope - it was awful, actually felt sick after eating it. Fish was slimy, grey, tasteless and undercooked, batter was soggy and way too much, chips tasted like they had been repeatedly cooked . Will certainly not be returning, especially after the last time I rang them to let them know how poor it was and the girl who answered just said ‘Ok, thankyou’ . I would rather go without .

Honestly growing up as a spud boy picking potatoes the smell of the earth when there turned over making chips is an art but Rowleys chef the boy who cooks the chips is a master at it no word of a lie banging chips crispy on the outside soft and fluffy in the middle honestly great chef serious contender for Pembrokeshire 5 stars all the way I noticed that one woman Donna wetter complained about the food I'm a chef have been 30 years worked all over Britain and Europe and I buy chips often from this amazing establishment and not a chance in hell do they hand over bad food honestly stunning fish and chips and always very clean oil nasty dig that very unfair

Very nice. Only thing to critique is that the ketchup is in these tiny bags and not in a bottle

Absolutely delicious fish and chip supper, crispy batter, lovely flaky cod, chips crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Perfect 👌

Really good restaurant. We had regular fish and chips plus mushy peas and coleslaw to share. And two Welsh lagers £35.60. Can't fault it. It came with a small sidesalad. Ketchup and sauces are from sachets. Nice staff, clean place. Great value.

Absolutely wonderful sea food platter and fish and chips. Flavourful curry sauce, with a mixed leaf salad, with a tasty dressing, very well priced for a restaurant meal.

Wanted a quick decent lunch before visiting Pembroke Castle and were so fortunate to find this place. All the staff were friendly and polite, the waiter who served us couldn’t have been better, the restaurant was spotless and looks new. We had the scampi and chips and small cod and chips which were cooked to perfection and served with a nice salad garnish with a lovely dressing, mushy peas were great too. I have to say the chips were fantastic, nice and crispy and very moreish, would definitely recommend.

Tasty chips, the chicken breast on the bone my husband loved. Especially as there isn't may places that do it now.

I ordered ham, egg and chips and ot was delicious with very generous portions

There was more salt on the food than there is in the sea, it was greasy and even more unhealthy than a Chippy should be. I would think I had my allowance of salt for the week on one sausage. I was looking forward to that, but to put it politely it was not a pleasant experience.

Take away fish and chips while holidaying in Pembrokeshire. Among the best we have ever had, so nice we went for a second night later in the week which is a first 😄. No haddock but the cod was delicious and the chips amazing. There was a large queue when we arrived unsurprising due to the quality but extremely well managed so we only waited 15 minutes. Highly recommend 😊

Delicious batter. Friendly and fast.

Had a takeaway (7 of us) & it was all we’d hoped for. Not greasy & all our food (fish & sausages ) was cooked well. Will definitely return

Just like to say I visited Rowlies,I'm an asian man with my family. And the staff were staring at us and watching us like they've never seen coloured people before. They weren't welcoming at all, I ordered the food and when we were eating it the fish was soaking in oil and horrible, and the chips were bad aswell. So I don't think we will be coming back here again.

Good food, friendly staff, more selection would be good. There's also room to sit down and eat. Bottom line, good chips. 👍🏻

We stopped off here for a quick bite. I got fish and chips and my wife got sausage chips and curry sauce. Two drinks. It’s the biggest fish we have been served in a chippy before! I recommend this place if you’re nearby.

Excellent fish and chips (although haddock doesn't seem to be available in this part of the country). The order was freshly prepared and ready in a few minutes. It's worth mentioning the chips in particular, which maintained their light crispness right to the end of the meal. We had a take out meal which we enjoyed on the bank of the estuary opposite, along with a take out beer from The Royal George.

Visited twice (first time was that good). Both times the food was incredible, very well priced and tasted more like home cooking than a chippy. Staff were friendly, attentive and couldn't do enough.

Came across this chippy whilst staying in Pembroke, you can sit in or takeaway..we sat in..Omg!..hubby & I had fish & chips, so delicious 😋 staff were very friendly too. Its obviously popular because it was very busy but we didn't struggle getting to get a seat. Definitely recommend 👌

Best fish and chips in ages! Must visit if in the area!

Great chip shop and cafe, lovely chips 🍟 😋

Great fish & chips from Rowlies! Curry sauce was a 'lush' (as the Welsh say!) addition. Would highly recommend for any weary-walkers or passing visitors like us!

A must visit when In Pembroke ! Some of the best Fish and Chips I have had ( coming from someone whose family have owned two fish and chip shops for over 15 years ) great service and lovely ambiance inside as well. Very Reasonably priced too given location the rising costs of energy and potatoes. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and I cannot overstate what a lovely shop this is!

After a wet and windy morning this fish and chip shop saved the day! Excellent value and big portions, kids menu with a good selection - it was quick and everyone enjoyed their meal. It was clean with plenty of seating and had a good toilet facility. The staff were so friendly, smiling and helpful which was a relief after the rudeness we encountered at the Royal George down the road. We would recommend Rowlies if you’re in Pembroke!

Very generous portions of great fish and chips and really friendly staff too. I’m not a cider drinker normally but really recommend it here.

Shopped here after visiting the castle. Really good value food and it was lovely too. Portion sizes were also good.
