Runwayskiln in Pembrokeshire

Absolutely delicious food in a beautiful location. We had the fish and chips, butternut squash quiche with chips and salad, and kids fish and chips and chicken strips and chips. It was all perfect. The only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of cheaper options. There were no paninis being served so the cheapest adult option was £15, which isn’t ideal when you’re just popping in for a light lunch. We spent £54 on four meals and one drink which my husband and I shared, because we couldn’t justify spending much more than that on lunch. (Tap water available from the outside tap!) The staff were friendly and there was a relaxed vibe We will definitely come again for coffee and cake, the cakes looked incredible. We couldn’t afford another £25 today for coffee and cakes!

We visited as a family and the food and cake are amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff, and food was served promptly. There is a little boat for children to play in, so they had fun being pirates.

Delicious Delicious delicious Friendly service, quick delivery and lovely to sit in the sunny courtyard. Lovely cafe.

Called in to this lovely little cafe for coffee and cake with a couple of friends on our way back from a walk to Marloes beach. Great little place with super friendly staff. The gluten free brownie was really good! Thank you - we’ll visit again when we are next in the area.

Superb coffee-stop before we headed a little further to get the boat to Skomer Island. Very friendly staff. Great place. Will definately be back as the menu looked fantastic.

I too enjoyed the amazing chowder, and the rest of the walking group with me were equally impressed with the offerings at this wonderful gem. The staff seem to operate seamlessly together, always a smile and friendly word. They are a shining example of what a cafe/restaurant should be like in a very rural setting. Well done to all.

Runwayskiln is a fabulous place. This little gem serves the most delicious cakes, variety of coffees and teas, together with equally delicious lunches. We had smoked haddock chowder which has to have been the best we had ever eaten. And all this served by delightful staff, so friendly and welcoming. It's the sort of place you wish you could pick up and take home with you. Please make certain to visit if visiting Marloes, a place of equally fabulous beaches.

Fabulous birthday lunch, excellent food and attentive service. Baby and toddler also catered for. As usual Chef Charlie surpassed himself and the lovely Tom helped make my celebration lunch special.

Fantastic hot bacon, mushroom and egg ciabatta baps. Great coffee and the son recommended the honeycomb hot chocolate. Cakes all looked great too. Well worth the stop off

We manged to get a table at short notice on Sunday, which was a great treat. The fish soup was absolutely delicious. We ever went back later for tea and cake - absolutely delightful, with cardamom and rose. Wonderful location overlooking the sea.

Best haddock chowder ever! And the chips of the style we hadn't seen since Corsica in 2018. Second time here in 3 weeks, worth the 2.5 hour drive for just the best food. Such warm and friendly staff, superb atmosphere and the most incredible food! Make a special trip, but best to book first....very popular and no wonder! See you again soon! XXX

Outstanding lunch. Polish style mushroom and cream cheese and dill tart served with great Raddicio & Rocket salad and amazing dressing.

Runwayskiln is a must! Called in for lunch before a walk with our lab on Marloes Sands and had the best ever smoked haddock chowder! Staff were friendly and service was quick. Highly recommended

Fabulous cafe! The best smoked haddock chowder and carrot cake I have ever had! The staff were happy, friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend eating here and a visit to Marloes Sands.

This restaurant was recommended in the visitors notes at the Saint brides Castle. This is a café near to a famous beach.The inside is quite plain but is cosy . It is a long way from the main road. There is only parking in the National Trust car park. It I a short menu. Sec code the Haddock Chowder. We were not disappointed as it was excellent. It is a shame you don’t see this dish on hardly any restaurant menu. The wine list is very limited comprising one white, one red, and one Rosie. We had the white which was French and less than £20. Inches

We had lunch cake & drinks- everything was made with fresh ingredients to perfection We could see why it has such good reviews - only good things to say about the food & service Worth coming specially

Heard about this place by word of mouth and as it was only about 10 minutes from where we were holidaying, we decided to pay a visit. Lovely quirky place surrounded by sea and countryside with plenty of outdoor seating with great views. Our food came really quickly and some of the best fish and chips we'd had in a very long time. Waiting staff were quick to bring our order and really friendly. A nice offering of drinks including some local real ales which my husband appreciated. I just wished we lived nearer so we could make this a regular haunt. We now regret we didn't buy some cake to take away as it looking amazing. A few points to note - check the cafes website/Facebook page carefully for opening hours - sometimes both the cafe and kiosk are open but sometimes just the kiosk which has a more limited offering. Parking is a short walk away in a free National Trust Car Park but if you are a blue badge holder you can drive down to the track to the cafe and just past the cafe, on the left, are a couple of blue badge allocated spaces.

The location of this café couldn't be better - perfect for walking down to the beach, and the most amazing views across the fields and coast. We stopped for breakfast before walking down to the beach, and it hit the spot. The breakfast rolls were super tasty - good quality ingredients, fresh and delicious. The cake was knock-out too, and the coffee was great. I am sure it was an off day, but the staff didn't seem particularly happy and were a little off with us.

Unfortunately we did not realise the restaurant was only open from Thursday in week and turned up on a Tuesday, but went instead for the kiosk food. Soo good! I had the tuna melt deluxe pannini- I didn't think I liked pickles but these were a pleasant surprise in this recipe. Other half had the hummous one which also said lovely. Tried a bit of the craft cider which again was really tasty and what more could ask with views from your lunch table like this, after a swim in the sea and a small walk back to the kiosk.

Wow what can I say…hands down the nicest coffee and cakes I think we’ve ever had! The cherry Bakewell and the carrot cake were absolutely divine, accompanied by 2 lovely coffees and a stunning view!

Fantastic setting for a lovely meal from the coastal kitchen . There are 7 indoor tables and others outside under canopies. I had the halloumi salad and my husband had the hake and chips , both were very tasty but we felt compelled to ask...

We had an excellent lunch with family, reasonably priced and very good quality food. I recommend the cheese burger or the halloumi.

A lovely spot with a great view to have lunch. Really enjoyed roast pork salad. Cakes were delightful.

Absolutely excellent lunch here - we had the pork and halloumi. Great service - cash tips only (which we didn’t have - sorry!). Could not recommend more.

Off the beaten track but lots of car parking nearby, great menu, super friendly staff, quick service, really high quality food - fantastic!

Terrific. Great food, great service. Lovely atmosphere, served very quickly. Would 100% recommend. Staff very helpful.

The lunch was exceptional, Feta and Nectarine salad. The restaurant was busy at lunch time and all the tables inside and outside were full, we managed to share a table with some friendly customers. The staff were helpful and efficient.

Wonderful little restaurant with absolutely stunning views over Marloes Sands. Fantastic team and absolutely delicious food and the Rosé wine is a winner too!

Yummy paninis, gluten free and vegan options as well as café takeaway - great kids fish and chips meal deal. Enjoyed by all.

Love Runwayskiln, food always good, staff friendly and helpful and great views of the sea and islands. Highly recommend.

Worth going off the beaten track for this unique bistro run by friendly enthusiastic staff producing tasty food in a former farm building. Lovely atmosphere, upbeat and individual. Thoroughly recommend.

Dog friendly. Friendly staff. Beautiful food. Beautiful coastal path and beach. i had the pakora salad, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked fab. Book a table if you want to ensure you can sit inside.

Stopped by whilst doing the costal path to find a lovely cosy cafe/restaurant providing a big home cooked range from bacon bap’s to full meals. The warmed bread and butter pudding with ice cream is not to be missed .

The food was brilliant and there was a really good and imaginative choice. 3 generations catered for by the staff who couldn’t have been more helpful or enthusiastic. The food was preceded by a walk on the nearby beach with the inevitable beautiful views and...

We visited on a monday (usually closed but lucky for us they were open as it was half term) We parked and wanted a long walk and thankfully were able to book - highly recommended as this place gets BUSY! The food is incredible. We...

Had waited all week for cafe to open. Arrived around 11.30a.m. Walked to cafe from car park, a short distance. Courtyard full of morotbikes, at least 20, and riders who had taken over everywhere. Why weren't the bikes parked in the car park. We had...

Booked a table for Sunday lunch in February. I don’t often write reviews but the whole experience was just special. That includes the food, the friendly service, the location and the comfortable warm dog friendly environment. We had Smoked Haddock Gratin and Pork Belly with...

What do you get when you combine delicious, imaginative food with friendly, engaging staff, a stunning coastal setting and a cosy, charming interior? Runwayskiln. This is, without doubt, one of my favourite dining experiences - made all the more memorable by being so utterly unexpected. I was anticipating a cute cafe in a remote spot - I got the most exquisite, top quality cuisine accompanied by Gascogne and Vaucluse wines by the glass. Stars of the show were harissa aubergine, smoked mackerel with saute potatoes and brioche bread and butter pudding. The cakes (bara brith included, obviously) are fabulous too. Be sure to book. You don't want to walk here (you can bring your dog too) and be disappointed. You really don't.

This is a real find, off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Superb coffee and the best breakfast roll ever, and run by lovely friendly people. Dogs allowed as well.

Well worth making the effort to get to this outstanding place. Breakfast rolls to die for, lovely coffee and the best fish and chips ever. Great ambience- will definitely call again.

Superb food, nice staff, stunning location. Small place so best to book Dog friendly. Diolch yn fawr.

It's always a pleasure to to visit Runways and today was no exception we couldn't choose anywhere better to celebrate a family birthday, all our meals were absolutely delicious and great service. Highly reccomended

Brilliant place. So pleased to have stumbled on it. Food is fantastic, everything you want for a really great lunch!We were quite lucky to get a table (full service on a weekday in the middle of November! Obviously the secrets out!). If we’re back this way, will 100% come again - but would book to make sure we don’t miss out!

Passed this on a walk yesterday and so glad we popped in! The coffee was so good as were the cakes. We had bara brith, best I’ve had and a raspberry Brownie which I think might have been gluten free and was delicious. Glad we decided to detour on our walk to stop at the toilets, or we might have passed this by!

Throughly enjoyed the views and food here, and having just discovered the splendour of marloes sands, Runwayskiln and its cheery staff helped to make for a perfect day.

My husband and I were here for the first time last Sunday and decided to go again with friends as we were so impressed today. The food was exceptional and the service was friendly and professional. Best fish and chips I have had and tried the cake the first time and the lemon posset today which was lovely.Can’t recommend highly enough. A hidden gem!

We have been on holiday this week, and our final day we visited this little hidden gem!! The food was undoubtedly the best we have had all week thankyou so much. Delicious food, brilliant staff lovely atmosphere.

Fabulous meal. Staff very friendly. You must book for lunch. Food full of flavour. Highly recommended. Look forward to coming back.

We were lucky to be able to eat here three times on our holiday in September and every time was delicious. Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely setting and It made our holiday to eat here. It was so great to have such great veggie choices on the menu that were a joy to eat and such friendly, welcoming and fabulous staff team. Thank you very much

The food was wonderful, elevated fish and chips to a new level. The setting is so special and the staff are helpful, informative but unobtrusive - tried a selection of dishes and beers, all of the highest quality and served well. Would revisit like a shot. To add to our luck the weather picked up and we sat outside in warm sun despite it being mid September.

Stopped by for lunch after a very long walk. The service was very good and so was the food. Although the fish n chips were expensive compared to your local chippy, they were definitely worth the price. By far the best fish n chips I've ever had and so was the tartare sauce.

On a day out during our holiday when my wife had work commitments I went to Marloes just looking for a bite to eat with our rescue dog Doris. Unfortunately Doris is not good around other dogs and lost it a bit. We decided to leave. We were kindly offered a takeaway in the garden and we sat eating a fantastic hake and chips in the the pigsty. Thank you for making us welcome. Doris and I will always remember this.

We had a good walk around the Marloes Peninsula and then arrived at Runwayskiln and 3:10 and sadly saw the sign " food stops at 3:00". I asked if there was any chance of hot food and the lady checked in the kitchen and asked what we wanted - we asked for a simple fish and chips and they said they could manage taht. We then relaxed outside on a sunny day looking at the marvellous views, when the food arrived it was first class. The position is magnificent, the staff were friendly and all in all it finished off a perfect day.

What great food! We stopped in here after a wander around the Deer Park and Marloes Sands for takeaway as they were full. The title says it all, the food was outstanding. Orzo packed full of seafood and fish and a juicy burger. Great coffee and cake too.Highly recommended if you're in the area but call/ book first!

Delicious lunch, menu catered for all tastes and the bonus was excellent coffee.Best cortado outside of Italy. 'Front of House' was a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable.

Wow @runwayskiln !!Do what you do well, provide the service you can cope with & succeed!! We can’t big up this place enough, the location is one of the most breathtaking we have visited & the service takes some beating!! The dishes were difficult to choose as they all sounded amazing, we opted for the Pembrokeshire free range Hogget & Harrisa Chicken. Looked as good as they tasted. Quality over quantity will alway win when delivered as the team did today! Take out ciders appreciated … we will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great time had by all on a glorious day in south Pembs, we were a party of 9 which included a high chair. Great experience from booking to leaving . Staff were all attentive and happy and lovely, great to see people happy in their work as it reflects on the service and atmosphere. Small but perfectly formed menu suited vegetarians and meat eaters . I had the Orzo fish dish which was just beautiful clean and fresh. My husband had the fish and chips he said it was the best he had ever eaten the batter was especially good and really fresh fish. The deserts were also excellent all homemade many cakes to choose from and some unusual , the Lemmon posset and the thinnest of beautifully buttered shortbread was divine my son had the vegan Persian cake he said it was lovey. All washed down by local beers and ciders. Thank you for making a long over due meet up with friends so much more special, oh the flowers on the table was also a lovely touch. See you soon…….. xx

This place is a gem. We stopped for a light lunch after a long coastal walk.All the tables to the rear of the cafe were booked, and the tables at the front were full but the girl suggested we sit in the Pigsty! It was the perfect place to sit as it was quiet for our dog - I’ve never eaten my lunch in a pigsty before! There aren’t really ‘light’ lunches on the menu but the food is varied and interesting. As were going out for dinner later we opted to share a burger, some chips and some cake. We were served with 2 plates and cutlery for each of us. The burger was delicious, half of it was enough for me! And the chips…….. they were THE best chips I’ve ever tasted. If you just have chips you won’t be disappointed! Lovely place, great service and really tasty food.

Excellent food, complimented by excellent staff. Nothing was to much trouble. lovely selection of cakes to finish.

Just popped in today and had the most unexpectedly gorgeous lunch with great smiley service. Chicken salad on another level. 5 star

Excellent and interesting food, friendly and helpful service and lovely views. What's not to like? Will definitely be going back there again.

We arrived here on the way down to Marloes Sands expecting a selection of glorified takeaway paninis but the menu looked far more interesting so we stayed for lunch. The dishes including grilled chicken with harissa, orzo pasta with seafood and mushrooms on sourdough were all excellent. These were washed down with a good selection of local ales and ciders. One of us tried a Dark and Stormy cocktail - also good. The plum frangipane tart and Algerian love cake made a great end to the meal. The service was pleasingly enthusiastic and efficient. We sat outside amongst other happy diners looking over the sea over past fields being harvested in the hazy sunshine as we ate. All in all by far our best restaurant experience of 5 good days in Pembrokeshire.

Lovely cafe with great food, situated above Marloes Sands a national trust site, freshly cooked food, all local, good system for getting a table, halloumi salad was really tasty fish and chips also great, lovely outside tables overlooking the sea, well with a visit

I've been before and found it good: charming service and imaginative food well-presented.But.I went there last week and was delighted to see they had a 'special', with field mushrooms. Now I love field mushrooms, they are in season and the weather was just right for them - I was really looking forward to my meal. Imagine my disappointment when, instead of delicious field mushrooms I was served a dull supermarket Portobello mushroom. I have boosted my rating from 1 to 3 because of previous good meals.

Fish and chips with a difference, served with chopped peas with fresh mint on a bed of salad leaves, and home made tartar sauce, the fish was covered in beer batter and so fresh it tasted as though it had just left the sea. Followed by a chocolate brownie that melted in the mouth, again home made. The cafe itself is very unassuming but don't be fooled, it's food to die for

Thoughtfully and skilfully prepared seasonal food, created by people who really understand their ingredients, all in the most fabulous surroundings. A short, interesting menu to meet most tastes and requirements. Very accommodating, friendly and professional staff. Brilliant.

We went here a few weeks ago and it was fab! The burgers were amazing and the waiting staff were lovely! This place is a little bit special and worth the trip! Definitely pay it a visit, you won’t regret it.

I cannot fault this place. The staff were so friendly and advised us on the best walk to do with our time. Fish and chips was amazing as was the coffee. Beautiful view and really welcoming.

Just had ice cream here but that was great and he staff were very friendly. The seating is for food orders but it would be nice to have some benches for those on drinks and ice creams especially later in the afternoon.

What a fantastic place! Amazing cakes and the food looked delicious. Will be back to give main meals a go. Spectacular scenery, friendly service and great seaweed ale! Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing setting in a little whitewashed old stone building at the top of the walk down to the sands. Well worth a stop before you head down, even if just for a (good) coffee. We had the breakfast bap which was delicious and very friendly service. The menu looked incredible for lunch - we will be back!

My partner and I called today for coffee and cake and were extremely impressed with the friendliness of the staff. The menu was extensive and everyone's food looked generous and well presented. A simple problem at a nearby table was immediately resolved with the offer of free puds and coffee. Can't wait to go agatn. A little gem.

Absolutely awesome 👏 We had a cooked lunch and cakes and all was freshly made. Delicious flavours and beautifully prepared and served. Staff so kind and helpful & enthusiastic! A truly hidden gem; we will be returning

Our group of 4 adults, 2 kids and 3 dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stop here on the way to Marloe Beach on Saturday 31/07/21. Every single member of staff was fantastic, polite and efficient. We were sat in the the Pigsty which was fab and quirky!Many Thanks from Lois and fam x

Great cake, ice cream and beer. Helpful and friendly staff. Relaxed and family friendly atmosphere. We sat inside but there was a large covered outdoor area too.

We visited this lovely little cafe as my partner's grandfather was born here when it was a farm - we had visited briefly in the Spring but decided to call again after lockdown, and bring a couple of friends for lunch. I ordered the fish and chips whilst the other three had the Sewin and salad. As an exiled Yorkshireman I rarely order fish and chips south of Sheffield but feeling in a rebellious mood I had decided to risk it. I can honestly say that the fish, which I think was probably hake, was the best battered fish I have tasted in the last thirty years (outside of Yorkshire of course!) It was thick and flakey and cooked to absolute perfection. The batter was very thin and almost tempura but had "scraps" all over it so was nice and crunchy. The chips were without doubt the best I have had anywhere - and I include Michelin star restaurants in this. A suggestion to the cafe - if an order is taken for fish and chips along with other orders it would be nice to provide a small additional pot of chips to prevent the salad munchers stealing all of the chips. Will definitely be back again.

Pretty café in a beautiful location. With loads of choice and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

This truly is an hidden gem with the standard of food very high, the staff are very friendly and helpful. This is right on the coastline and the views from the tables are magnificent. Highly Recommended first class at a very highest level.

We have visited this lovely cafe twice during our two week stay in Pembrokeshire. Today for breakfast and lunch with a walk in between! On both occasions we were blown away by the fantastic food. The menu although short had something for everyone. Each dish was of exceptional quality, using good ingredients and the flavour combinations were amazing. I personally like short menus as it generally means the food is of higher quality.On our first visit we sampled the burger and lamb kofte, which came with the most beautiful whole grain tabouleh. Today it was the fish and chips and the sea trout on tapenade with new potatoes and watercress salad. The dishes looked amazing and tasted even better! The service was fabulous time was taken to make sure that we enjoyed our food. We felt very welcome by all the staff. Thank you.Personally I liked the queuing system and I felt it was effective and very fair.We would love to return!!!!

Surprise and very welcome find on our walk back from Marloes Sands. Friendly staff, lovely food and drinks. Can highly recommend!

We were disappointed to discover this on our coastal walk and find it closed. On ringing the next morning to try and book a table for a family lunch that day, we were told that they do not take bookings, but were advised that there were plenty of tables and even if they were busy and we had to wait, they would be able to fit us in once a table was available. On arrival at 2pm, we were told that they were not accepting any more orders but if we wanted to come back later before they shut at 5, "we could see if there was anything left". Naturally we didn't bother and wont again. There was an empty table, which we would have happily sat at and had a round of drinks whilst waiting and most of the tables seemed to be people who had either finished their meals or were just having a coffee.

Food good quality however not a lot for vegetarians, only sandwich was bacon. Cake was yummy though. C'mon ...what about a cheese sarnie!

We went for coffee and cake, it was so lovely we went back the next day for lunch. The staff couldn’t do enough to help. No table available inside so we went outside, when it started raining we asked if they could do our meals as takeaway. Only too happy to oblige. All enjoyed our meal one of the best of the week.

Lovely food and great views over the bay. Service spot on. Can’t wait to return - best breakfast bap we’ve ever had - recommended.

Lovely place with fantastic food. Friendly staff. Big selection of cakes including a tasty vegan love cake. The mains also cater for vegetarians and vegans, we had the roasted tomato and tofu stuffed peppers which were delicious.

Friendly cafe in a great location. Very good food. Provided a high chair for our grandson. Well organised for Covid safety.

This cute little place was absolutely fantastic. Runwayskiln has great food options and were very COVID-secure. I ordered a mushroom burger which turned out to be the best vegetarian burgers I have eaten in the UK! The coffee was great too :) would highly recommend.
