Just got back from Sunday roast at Tap & Tan and by some margin, the best roast we have had. Beef was smoky and full of flavour. Yorkshire smoky and cooked to perfection. Veg and Cauli cheese was incredible. Ended on Sticky toffee and that dud not disappoint. A MUST visit when visiting Tenby!

If you are looking for somewhere for Sunday lunch in Tenby, then look no further than Tap and Tan....it was nothing short of incredible. The chefs at Tap and Tan use a mix of classic smoked BBQ and live-fire cooking, and the depth of flavour they achieve with their locally-sourced meat and seasonal veggies is impressive. I love knowing that all their produce comes from local farmers and suppliers. The meat was perfectly cooked, with a smoky char on the outside that gave way to juicy, tender meat inside. Every bite felt like it was crafted with care, and the flavour from the open fire really took it to the next level. And those veggies! They had that freshness that can only come from seasonal, locally-sourced produce. What I found most exciting is that the menu regularly changes to reflect what’s in season. It feels like a proper celebration of Welsh produce, cooked with a technique that gives it so much personality. If you’re looking for a Sunday lunch that’s a bit more special, Tap and Tan is absolutely worth a visit. It’s a meal that feels like an event, and you leave not just full but genuinely satisfied. I can’t wait to go back and see what new flavours the seasons bring!

Absolutely amazing food! The best in Pembrokeshire! We moved here 3 years ago and have sampled a lot of local cuisine - some better than others but unfortunately mostly underwhelming. The food we ate last night at Tap & Tan was THE BEST we have tasted in a long, long time! Absolutely delicious! We will be back very soon! The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is relaxed and chilled, they have a lot of beers to try if that's your thing - we stuck to soft drinks but are definitely returning for the food! Better than meals we have paid twice as much for in London or Manchester!

A proper beer and BBQ restaurant. Tenby Brewing looks after the beer and we didn't have a bad one - tried them all in their 3 1/3 beer trays; and Feast look after the food - had the mixed platters (think twice before ordering starters too). Flavors were great and service was friendly. Very relaxing.

Just love the food and atmosphere here. We have been coming for years and have watched to place change and grow , last nights food and service were amazing. The food was freshly cooked on the bbq/grill right by us and tasted the best . The lamb burger was the best my hubby had ever had and my flatbread was also amazing. The sauce on the wings was so good and tasty and the chicken fell off the bone , can’t wait to go again over our break this week . The cider on draft is so good too and staff were really friendly , our husky loved the fuss . Thank you and we will be back

Spot on brilliant BBQ. We had a sharing platter of wings, brisket, pulled pork, smoked sausage and as good a slab of BBQ pork as I’ve ever had! Sauces, pickles, potatoes and bread, all EXACTLY as they should be. Brilliant! And the beer is excellent too….. Friendly staff, music but not too loud even when sat beside the speaker, clean and tidy throughout we’ll be back to our new favourite place in Tenby ASAP!

We had been looking forward to going here for some time and it didn’t disappoint. Really good service on arrival - ordered our drinks and sat at our table to peruse the menu - so much on offer that we just decided to go for the sharing platter; £65 but well worth it. Everything was cooked perfectly on the flame - pork chops, chicken wings, sausage, steak and pulled pork - sides of bread, potatoes and various pickles. Awesome. So much our dog will be eating very well the next few days as we brought some home - for us portion size was a little heavy and there was no way we could have tucked into the sticky toffee pudding that the couple next to us had - equally they were raving about their meal.

It was a very busy Easter Sunday and the staff were working really hard. I would 100% recommend and cant wait to return.

The area is beautiful, the customer service, is of a nervous nature, and a little aggressive when you don't pay a service charge. The food is the best feature, very tasty I can't fault it, seasoned well, cooked well, atmosphere not bad. The price is too extaustionate, £65 for a main meal platter for two......hmmmmm tasty absolutely, but, for that price I would rather have 3 courses at £25 each. 2 pints £13.50??

Went on Saturday, so December and right in this cold snap. The food that we ordered wasn’t cheap but it was really, really tasty and we found the portions to be a good size. There are veggie and vegan options so it covers most bases. I had the beetroot hummus to start which was massive and then Halloumi as a main. I couldn’t finish it all but found it all to be lovely and a bit different. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Plenty of choice of craft beer if that’s your thing. I went for gin as I’m not so keen on beer. There’s plenty of choice though. I think other people have said that you have to go up to order food and drinks and that you do this separately. I agree this is a bit of a pain. Table service would be better given the price of the food but it’s not a big deal for us. My only real complaint was that there was no heating on. We might have stayed longer but it was freezing. In general, I would highly recommend but take a coat!

The price is a bit off putting at start but when you see what arrives it is truly worth it. We also opted for the mac and cheese as an extra and we'll worth it. Beers on tap are a wide selection but the team behind bar guide you through it very well. It's not cheap but worth the trip if your a food lover.

We have been going here since it opened a year ago. The food served here was fantastic, fresh and quirky. We ate here on Tuesday, we will not bother again! They have changed the menu and how it is served, I would say they are now an over priced take-away of fried food. 5 items on the menu, 5 ways to choose your fries and two specials, a small menu is great it means freshly prepared food, but not now. Firstly the two special's were not available and no alternatives provided. The 6 Ping Ping prawns were tough as old boots, overcooked, the orange bread crumb coating was over cooked, no flavour what so ever, skin on fries, OK and some rocket leaves, served in a brown take-away box with a disposable fork, £12, so not worth that price! The 6 cod goujons were cod nuggets, they were cooked well, £10, still not worth the money. You could go down the road and get a better full cod & chips for less! So disappointed, nothing quirky here anymore, shame, it was so good before, why did they change it? I have to say that the drinks provided by Sand Bar in this establishment were fab, as usual, their draft cider is lush!

Went here on Wed 28th July after all the rave reviews. Beer is amazing. Service and food was disappointing, leaving me wanting more vs. the expectations set. Opens at 5pm, we arrived at 5:30pm and got a table. Drinks order taken and served quickly. Food doesn’t start until 6pm so inevitably you have a queue of 20 people at 6pm trying to order food - I was the 8th person to order. By the time I get to the counter I was told there will be a 45 min wait for food. It took 60 mins to arrive at the table. No apologies when food arrived and not even asked if we wanted any sauces, so had to locate the barman and ask him. Menu is exciting but food doesn’t live up to the standards and prices - we ordered a pork burrito with dirty fries upgrade and crab mac & cheese only to be told they’ve ran out of mac and cheese (after 7 orders?). They have been closed for two days but open without stock…We ended up ordering two burritos which had no taste - just meat and rice but no flavour (advertised as slow cooked pork). The dirty fries were basic fries with some spring onions and mayo but again didn’t taste of much at all - I don’t think they warrant the ‘dirty’ advertisement at all. To sum up the beer is out of this world but we we’re really disappointed overall - I feel they are trying too hard or out of their element with food - having a menu they cannot fulfil (in time and taste).

Found this on our last day and stopped by for breakfast. In short I loved the breakfast rap with ham and coupled it with a couple of 1/3 pints of cider and stout. For those who dis the bar it shows how little they appreciate good and well made drinks, a real find if you like the taste and don’t form part of the £1 pint to get drunk brigade. Could it be improved, yes make the logic of 2 businesses working as one a little more fluid. Both work differently but as a customer I don’t care, so introduce a common approach.

Visited Sandbar and Cwlbox 3 times during our week in Tenby, always for beers, twice for lunch and once for dinner. Shout out to the brilliant staff who despite covering a lot of tables at busy periods were still super friendly and made time for beer  recommendations and local tips when they got chance. Food from Cwlbox was spot on every time. Fresh ingredients and authentic. Loved the tacos and the baked feta they had as specials. This was our fav place for beers in Tenby and the only place for craft. All of Tenby brewery beers were great and they always had good rotating guests. Great bar!

Stumbled across this restaurant and bar at the end of a lane we were curious about. Had some great craft beer and saw food going to other tables and decided to order some ourselves. A couple of things weren't available which is fine when it's fresh, but did limit the choice a little. Really please with the food we ordered, all very fresh and very tasty!

Following good reviews, we visited Sandbar during a week's holiday in Tenby. Sandbar is the bar, serving some of their own beers. The tropical pale ale would be my tip! Cwlbox is the Mexican-style food offering within the bar. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is a lot of the menu was unavailable on the evening we visited, meaning I couldn't have what I'd originally planned. Still very tasty food though!

Loved all the meals here. The breakfasts were so tasty and they were happy to accommodate our little one by making scrambled eggs on toast.

Found this place entirely by accident, I was looking for an easy lunch option but I was blown away by the quality and originality of both the good and the locally brewed beer. If you're here, try the Whitebait. Possibly the best I've ever had. 10/10

On a previous visit to Tenby I visited Sandbar/Cwlbox and found it to be an experience I wanted to ensure I captured again. Along with my 21 year old grandson we secured a table and ordered a glass of craft beer and some great food from Cwlbox. I have to say the food was excellent and the beer top class. The atmosphere was so ‘normal’ after the period of Covid restrictions, it was such a joy that we were back the next night for more.

Managed to sneak the last free table, and were not disappointed. Great selection of craft beer (some of the local beers or outstanding). Food was great - cant recommend the crab mac n cheese highly enough, but the service sets the place apart. Friendly, funny, kind and helpful staff, made the night even better. Essential visit while you're in Tenby

Excellent food, craft beers and service. Was busy, relatively small venue with limited seating and as you are unable to book a table - advise you arrive in advance of 6pm when food service starts.

Went for dinner, and had the Crispy quid, Garlic prawns with skin on fries, and the Mac & Cheese with crab and chorizo.The food was really nice and amazing quality ingredients, but the portions were more 'tapas' size.A bit on the pricier side considering the portion size.

I was just browsing Tenby with my mum and we found Sandbar & Cŵlbox. The owner opened early for us and they serve mainly seafood but she made a vegan meal on the spot for me, including a vegan tartar sauce from scratch! Tasted absolutely amazing and I'd go back again to try their vegan burrito. My mum had a shrimp burrito which she said tasted incredible too. We were both really happy with the paper and card packaging they used, including the sauce containers.Their menu has loads of dietary options so Cŵlbox really can cater for everyone. Thanks so much for providing vegan food!

One of the best finds of our trip to Tenby, my partner and I loved visiting SandBar & Cwlbox! We visited nearly every night of our trip, sitting at the same table each time and chatting about how much we wished we had a similar bar in our hometown. On our first night we ordered food. I wasnt particularly hungry and just ordered the crab fries. I didn't have high hopes given the simplicity of the whole thing (its just crab, and fries...right?) but couldn't have been more impressed with my meal! The flavour was great, portion size generous and overall great. So happy I ordered it as I enjoyed every bite. It was quite pricey but for such fresh & tasty seafood it felt very well spent. Great selection of gins & beers too. Particularly liked the Mango IPA.Good Covid measures in place, with patrons encouraged to wear a mask at all times (when not seated), tables spaced apart nicely and staff also masked up. Staff were also super friendly and chill. Nice group of guys running the place. I know where our first stop will be should we re-visit Tenby in the future!

I have been coming to Tenby since I was young and am sad I’ve only just now discovered this gem hidden away in upper frog street! The food is right up our street, extremely flavourful, exotic and tasty! Such an amazing find, we cannot wait to come back and try what’s new on the menu and the beers! I would encourage you to advertise more on the street/ around town so fellow foodies know you’re there but by the looks of other reviews and how busy you were, maybe it was just us not looking hard enough! Just what Tenby needs, Thank you!

My mother & I stumbled across SandBar & Cwlbox in Tenby town in the first week of October. First visit. We stepped through the door and were welcomed by what appeared to be the jolly chef. We took our seats and took in the quirky, original and interesting decor.We were attended to my several staff, all polite and helpful. We ordered from the specials that day and found all the food wonderful.Weeks later I can still be bothered to do the review because it deserves a mention, the first in a while for me.I applaud you all.The Good - The staff AND the FoodThe Bad - Not obvious when strolling about The Ugly - Nothing

Called in to try the new food set up at Sandbar. The lady from Cwlbox explained the menu and even showed us pictures of some of the best dishes. She was so lovely. We tried bubble and squeak with egg and pulled ham. Totally amazing, freshly cooked food and such huge portions. Great value for money we will certainly return to try more food soon.The beers and service as usual top class from Joel and his team.

We came here last year and have been eager to return. Unfortunately our trip earlier in the year was cancelled due to covid so we had to a wait a longer... well worth it! The food was exceptional. I mean, really, really outstanding! So much so that we returned here nearly every day of our trip and the days we didn't, we were more than disappointed elsewhere. We experienced lunch and dinner. The "make-your-own Sushi" - wow. The children loved the food and kept asking to go back, even now at home they ask when we are going back there (ages 4 & 8). The craft ales are brilliant as always. The staff are brilliant. Amazing little place and we can't wait to come back next month :-)

Traditional, characterful pub owned and run by a decent man. Good local customers and selection of drinks. No food but if you want a welcome where you dont have to feel like a holidaymaker, this place is for you.

We escaped a downpour here, we weren't planning on lunch, but ordered a sausage sandwich to share and it was great. The place was packed and very busy, but we'll run. The buildings are interesting, a maze of properties joined together, with the brewery downstairs. There's also a shop and coffee shop part of Harbwr. There are many places to eat and drink in Tenby and this one should not be missed
