Speculation Inn in Pembrokeshire

Awful breakfast the cheapest of everything, tastes of fat Bacon was less than standard OK for a greasy spoon for workmen And was not checked on during the meal and gent behind the bar when went to pay was talking to the local workmen and did not ask if I enjoyed or was everything OK just how much the bill was So no chance to say it was bad

Delicious Sunday lunch, large portions, and lovely selection of vegetables 😋 We were there early, so just a few tables having food. Friendly staff. Booking is advised as does get busy.

I love the Spec!! I like goin there to hang out with the rest of my mates after we work from 8 til late at the Spar!

We camped here for the night, to visit Paternoster Farm, for dinner up the road as it’s so handily located only a 15 minute walk away. Martyn, the owner, was really friendly and helpful, even giving us a lift up there and back to save us a walk on the main road. They’ve not long been reopened and are continuously doing work/improvements. Nice bar, garden area and games room. We wish them every success.

What can I say about this little gem apart from it's a perfect spot hidden away to grab a pint and have a chat with Martin or Alex and watch the sunset and the world go by. It's the people that make a place, and Martin and Alex are exceptional. We stumbled our way here on our first night of holiday and had such a good evening and were looked after so well that we came back each night we could! Didn't camp but there's a large area with good facilities available. Would wholeheartedly recommend grabbing a pint or five here on your travels and I look forward to returning! Alex and Zoranna

Not serving food yet but this is a lovely pub that has had some work done, dog friendly and gas outside seating area. A pool table and a dart board in the same room with a big TV. Friendly. And can't wait to return. They have a campsite too.

Good for watching sport on tv but no decent real ales

Enjoyed the pub good service and a reasonable choice of ales. Staff really friendly and helpful. Clean tidy pub. Hope they start serving food soon and hopefully a broader selection of good ales.

Refurbished warm and welcoming.

No food yet but there will be soon. Beautiful welcoming place with camping

Great pub & Martin the landlord was so friendly & welcoming. Perfect to visit on a damp New Year break to Pembrokeshire. Pub was beautifully refurbished & very warm. Would love to return Jane & Tim ( from Dudley)

Good beer, incredible staff, warm, friendly and welcoming to all. The Speculation Inn is well and truly on the map 👍

Lovely cozy pub with great staff

Great reception and a site with all the facilities. Well worth a visit.

Popped in for a drink on a grey October afternoon with the family. Warm welcome, great drinks selection, comfy seats and board games next to a lovely warm fire…exactly what we were looking for. Will definitely be back for another visit!

We were looking for a place to camp our campervan for the night. Martin and his mum who had recently taken over the pub when we visited in September are making a lot of changes to the place. Martin went aboulve and beyond to ensure we had what we needed and even offered to open the bar just for us. Although we have a little one so it was an early night for us. Martin has great aspirations for the pub and campsite and we wish them all the best in their venture. Would definitely pop past again if we visit Pembrokeshire again!

“They don’t make pubs like they used to”….but The Speculation Inn is an exception to the rule. Homely, welcoming, modern where it needs to be and traditional where it always has been. Great job all involved!

Lovely and friendly visit to a revamped Speculation Inn, thanks for the welcome and conversation...

Recently refurbished, fantastic new interior but keeps the feel of the old building. Dog friendly. Free cawl being offered on the weekend which was very welcome on a wet and windy afternoon. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Visited August 2019 Closed since August. I have already notified TA. Owner now runs a very cheap campsite. A pity as I spent my 18th, 21st and 25th birthdays there whilst a student and worker at Orielton nearby. I missed my 60th there!!

We arrived in Castlemartin for our Summer holiday; looking forward to riding to our ‘local’ to find a CLOSED sign. Hope it’s not permanent...

Nothing was too much trouble. The food was freshly prepared. The pub is full of character. The atmosphere is unbelievably warm - the landlady sat and chatted with us for 20 minutes as did the landlord as we were about to leave. The rooms are authentically old fahioned - no fake beams here. Definitely one to revisit. Warning - it's only lunchtime openings are from Friday to Sunday.

Who I can only assume was the landlord was extremely accommodating and friendly. Baring in mind when we arrived it was empty he made us feel so at home. We had a few beers and saw huge baskets of chips emerging from the kitchen and couldn’t resist, they were great! We’ll definitely be back, thank you!

enjoyed sunday dinner.great staff.very homely...

Lovely remote pub, friendly and welcoming landlord. Great food and beers. Would visit it again!

If your looking for a great family run public house then you will find it at the speculation inn if it's just a quick stop off drink when your out and about or if it's great food and and a warm welcome it's all here in abundance and the best part is there is camping available also so please give this wonderful little place a try Sunday lunch is also worth a visit I will personally endorse the place cracking regards Elvis 3 amigos charity motorcycle group

Spotted the signage for all day breakfast while passing and decided to pop in. So glad we did. Charming warm welcome, roaring fire, great food which we all enjoyed. My husband loved the all day breakfast. Happily recommend. So good we booked for Sunday lunch before leaving.

Have been using the Speculation on and off since Alan and Katy took it over. Yes it has a homely feel and maybe needs some TLC and a lick of paint. Was in there a couple of weeks ago to eat. Food was great but the front bar was very cold. Was drawn in last Sunday by the big sings outside offering All Day Breakfast which is what I just needed before my 5 hour journey home. Was told by the barman that all was on offer was a carvery. Pointed out the signage about All Day Breakfasts (which does not say except Sunday!) and left very disappointed indeed!

Wasn't sure when we entered, but the food and welcome were outstanding.

Love this place. A little rustic campsite and fab friendly pub. Made to feel very welcome and even took part in the pub quiz with the locals. Finished the night off (very late) with 20 year old plum gin with another couple staying at the site!!!

Called in with the family for Sunday lunch. Food was ok but not the best. Would not go there again for food.

Went to the Speculation Inn after ringing to book a camping pitch.Outside the place looks like a junk yard. Inside the place is filthy with massive cobwebs hanging everywhere above you and on the walls and fittings. Worst of all is the black mould all over the walls in the room where they serve the carvery.Finally a visit to the toilets revealed disgustingly filthy conditions. Needless to say we left and found another campsite. Whilst exiting the car park we noticed rodent traps against the building.Hardly surprising that they have rats. Health and Safety need to visit this place.

Great food , camping , beer what more could you want

Had a amazing time at the 3 amigo summer show here

Lovely old country pub in beautiful surroundings. Fab atmosphere, staff very friendly and helpful. In the process of being renovated, and original features being tastefully kept.

Very nice place and people worth a visit food is fantastic would go again

Friendly enough, not cheap, the chicken curry left a lot to be desired considering the price!

Friendly staff, Friday night quiz, cheap (basic) pub food.

Great place!. Love the dog.. ;-)

Retro place. Authentic in a mid century way... The good and the mediocre from then. Definitely not pretentious but fine in a modest way

Lovely place, nice people. Have a pint of double dragon!

Fantastic welcome for both us and our dog..went out of their way for us. Lovely visit. Warn them that we will be back soon!! :)

Great welcome from the friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. The food was very tasty and washed down with a pint of local cider. Kids were all happy with their free ice creams too! We will definitely be returning when we head to Pembroke again.

what you see if what you get, can't ask for more at this charming countryside pub and restaurant. Staff are friendly and service is good. Food is great and highly recommend the carvery Sunday lunch.I've been here many times over the last few years and never had a bad experience, all my friends and family I've took here have enjoyed it to.

Very friendly pub made us very welcome .good food

Amazing service i would move to pembrokshire just for this pub.

Very welcoming, good food and homely

Popped in to this pub today at end of long day exploring area before going home to holiday cottage. I asked if they were serving food. They were not. We were starving. Lovely lady behind the bar asked us to hang on then chef came out saying he could accommodate us. Sat by fire having a chat to landlord and landlady. Yes the place looked tired outside but real pub, real food, real, friendly people. Can't say fairer than that. Suits us. Thank you.

Visited for an anniversary having checked the menu out online I was disappointed that the actual menu bore little resemblance :/ The seating area was quite cold and the decor doesn't help and need a slightly better finish. The staff were a little too attentive, asked if we were ready to order very quickly before I'd really had a chance to look at the menu and then asked if everything was ok with our food when I'd only eaten 2 chips. However 2 of us ate 2 courses and a bottle of cider each for around £40 so it is very good value for money.

The outside of this pub belies the welcome and standard of food you get inside. It cannot be denied that it needs a luck of paint but the friendly service and food is well worth a visit. We has Sunday lunch - the carvery. The food was good home cooking and more than plentiful.

Today my family and I, enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch at the Speculation Inn. We had a lovely selection of 3 tender and tasty meats which were cooked to perfection; all accompanied by a large selection of different veg. The staff were full of hospitality and all very welcoming and do make sure the customers ok. Over the past week we have visited the Speculation Inn for a couple of drinks and always enjoyed our visit. We had never tried their food until today and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only that their chocolate Labrador Monty is very friendly and a real character!

Excellent food, great Customer service and very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended, will definitely be back again.

Llegamos al hotel, un poco confuso al principio, pues no estoy seguro de que la entrada a usar. Puerta cerraba que históricamente en el pec está siempre abierta! ! Necesita una señalización! ! ! Entró a través de la zona de la cafetería y el bar y encontramos recibidos por una señora encantadora.

Fantastic Sunday Carvarry, great old fashioned pub

Sólo se detuvo para bebidas - que estaban muy bien. La señora de detrás de la barra no era particularmente amable y acogedor, pero mi recuerdo se lo sucio que es. Hay telarañas y arañas por todas partes seco - por amor de dios sólo le dan al lugar un limpio!

Desde pasear por la puerta y el olor a la ebullición col supimos que no estaba bien. Nos hubiera salimos no hubiéramos estado con una gran fiesta y la visita había sido reservado.

Basic site but excellent, family run pub and site, excellent food and Sunday carvery. Extremely good dog friendly. If you like a good old fashion pub and grub this is the place for you

Paramos aquí la semana pasada para un almuerzo. Pub estaba vacío y éramos los únicos. La casera era muy amable y el pub tiene una buena selección de juegos que podíamos jugar con nuestra hija. La cerveza estaba bien. Yo pedí un pastel de carne con cerveza y me decepcionó. Todo parecía haber sido superficial (o cocidas en el horno) - me esperaba una tarta casera que claramente no lo era. A mi esposa le gustó su hamburguesa, pero la comida no era de ninguna manera culinaria. Personal amable y buena aunque la cerveza.

Llamado para el almuerzo. . Excelente decisión. Excepcional calidad de comidas caseras muy cálida bienvenida del amable personal un montón de cervezas y bebidas para elegir. . Recomiendo encarecidamente 10 de 10. .

Excellent .. Very warm welcome Outstanding food and excellent choice of beers. A Good old fashion pup . Very few of this type of pubs left these days. Would Highly recommend this pup for both food and drink .. proper home cooked quailty .... 10 out of 10....

One of the best Sunday lunch we had four a long time

Después de caminar en la playa de agua dulce de nuestros perros west viajamos de vuelta a Pembroke en el camino paramos para asados de un perro dentro de conduce. Opción de comida R motivos fundados, muy acogedor y mejor que cocinar en un largo...

We stopped here halfway through a 25 mile bike journey during which the weather had turned for the worst. Although they were not actually open for another 4 hours, Kate invited us in to shelter from the weather. Looking like a pair of drowned rats we trudged in and took up a much needed seat in the warm whilst being served up fresh coffee and biscuits. We got to meet and chat with all the family, including the new puppies, before setting off refreshed and recharged, ready to finish our journey. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

decided to go out last minute on a saturday night and popped into the spec. was a great choice. food was good and the hospitality was top notch. The landlord loves to chat.Friendly but not intrusive.Katie the landlady was very friendly . Monty the chocolate Lab was in good form . Very relaxed and positive experience.

Where to start. Landlady or waitress was very unprofessional the seating area was so cold. There was no effort in the drinks forgot straws and I didn't ask for a pint of coke!! A half was suitable. My daughter and I had to leave the restaurant as the chef came out to talk to other table and was so loud it was upsetting my daughter. He then went on to ask how one of the customers could eat beef when they had thier hand and arm up a cows bum that day!!! Yuck he bellowed and the laugh was exteamly rude. A chef saying that when he had just cooked well more like attacked a steak for my partner and myself!! I left the table with my little girl and went outside. We left five min later as none of the food tasted right. The eating area was echoing and freezing. The lady and chef must of asked us 20 times was everything ok. If I was on my own without my daughter I would of said all this personally. The chef then gave my daughter 4 lollys to take home. Which was nice seeing although she was bloody starving. Last thing food gross like really gross. Is he even a chef?? Peppercorn sauce was left untouched and chips are chunks of pre boiled then deep fried potatoes which are nothing like chips. Please get some kind of idear why this place is empty on a sat night I now give this place the top spot for the worst place iv eaten. Ps my dog had my steak thing

As we have only moved here in the last 18 months, we wanted to find a local pub and this is indeed it. Allen the landlord is a credit to the catering profession with the many meals that he does, including the Sunday carvery, and also does a quiz and curry night, curry is absolutely yummy. All meals are very reasonably priced. Katie is a very caring and hard working landlady. Allen and Katie have really helped us to feel at home in the area. We really do feel part of their family and the community that they are building up.

After many years of visiting the area, I decided to give Speculation Inn a try. I was on my own with my kids. I walked in to a lovely pub, with lots of sofas and armchairs dotted around and a homey feel. The landlord was very friendly and although I was too early for food, he offered to cook a meal for my children. There was a shelf full of games and colouring books and crayons to keep the kids occupied. All was great until the landlady appeared. The landlord was chatting to us at the time and his wife came over. He introduced us and we were treated to a stilted hello and cool smile. A little while later, she came over and took a game off my 2 year old son, saying he shouldn't be playing with it and telling my other children to pick up the pieces and put it away, then she took the game away. Why was it on the shelf with kids toys of not to play with? Five minutes later, my 2 year old spilt some of his drink and I asked for a cloth to mop up the spill from the flagstone floor. She coldly informed me that she now needed to mop the whole floor but was waiting for us to leave before she did so! Honestly, it was not even half his drink he'd spilled, probably a quarter of it, only a small puddle. It certainly didn't warrant mopping the entire floor! I felt as though we were indirectly being told to leave, when actually my kids had been very well behaved, playing cards and colouring. One small spill from a toddler in a bar where I'm sure there are plenty of spills was hardly an issue. This is a lovely pub, with a very friendly landlord who assured me my toddler was fine when he had a bit of a wander. They say they are family friendly, which they were until the landlady turned up. A great pub, but I sadly won't be returning as she made me feel very unwelcome.

Hits the mark perfectly. Good home produced meal that was well cooked and of good proportion. Good way to end a busy day. Would definitely recommend this venue as a relaxed, informal eatery. Ideal for families and the closest food to Freshwater West beach. Excellent Sunday carvery at a reasonable price.

Great family pub with great Sunday roast.Called at 2.15 to try to arrange a table for 6 we were told "we close at 3 but please come down we will fit you in ".We arrived and straight in to the carvery3 meat choice and lots of home cooked veg. The owner and his wife were super nice.Well worth a visit

We visited here whilst on holiday with my family and our dog. We rang up at 2:40pm on a Sunday asking if they were still doing food, they said for another 20minutes. We rushed to the pub and the staff were very friendly, when you turn up at the last minute and some places are usually quite rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We sat in the lounge as we had our dog with us and then had a carvery. It was excellent quality with locally sourced food. The landlord told us they had only been running the pub for 18months and have never ran one before, fair play to them, they're doing a superb job.

Fun loving family pub! Great pub food! Always someone to have a chat with!

Lovely atmosphere, well kept cellar because the lager was great. Food was brilliant and the potential and foresight for the publicans is a licence to print money, we hope they do very well. Thanks Andy and Kate and of course Monty. Made new friends on a spur of the moment stop off

My son asked the pub landlord to organise a last minute evening wedding party for my family and what a fab night it was too. We all travelled from West Midlands after I got married to be with the rest of the family and had planned an evening beach BBQ but this wasn't meant to be. Luckily the pub owners agreed to sort out my party and when we arrived the outdoor heated barn had been beautifully decorated with banners, ballons and fairy lights and, a lovely hot/cold buffet was ready for everyone to eat. The music was also sorted and, they provided my family with party poppers, mini spaklers and confetti at the ready!The pub owners also welcomed our family dogs and, offered some of my drunken family, after patiently serving them alcohol all night, a lift home. Then to top it all off they cleaned up for us and made sure all the cakes ect were wrapped up for us to collect the following evening when sober. It was a fantastic venue - the barn had a log burner, pool table, dart board, floor space, tables and double doors that opened into pub where the food was laid out. My family also took over the bar area and the small childen were able to access games to play with from the lounge area of the pub to keep them entertained.This was all done last minute within a very tight budget and I couldn't have asked for more or got better anywhere else even with more notice and a better budget!Thank you to everyone at the Speculation Inn and my son who has found a lovely local pub in his new Country of residence.Faye, Tony and family xxx

This is not a gastro pub.Nor is the Speculation Inn a chain pub. It's the Speculation Inn!It's a proper pub, with a proper landlord, Alan, a proper fire and a proper pub dog.If you're visiting Pembrokeshire then you should visit a pub. And if you don't visit this one then it's like going to London and not visiting The Angel, Islington or The Blind Beggar.A pub with atmosphere and a welcome - cannot recommend enough.

So homely, the land lord and lady are friendly and welcoming. The food is amazing quality and very home styled

We had a great carvery meal at the Speculation on Saturday, good food in nice surroundings, log fires in every room.

I have known this Inn for many years and at least four landlords from the days of thriving hostelries through to days of struggle.The current owners have been in situ since December '14 and have taken a fairly radical approach compared to their predecessors. We called in on a Sunday, were greeted in a friendly manner and were pleasantly surprised to find that lunch was a carvery. The food was of good quality and the helpings generous.The range of real ales was a bonus although it was odd that tomato juice was not available.The outside areas do need attention such as landscaping as they are currently untidy. However, this should not detract from the level of hospitality and the value of the food received.

An excellent meal for ten of us after a long drive to Wales. Very large plates for everyone, with a nice salad and vegetables. The battered fish was delicious and lots of home made chips. The ribs were nicely cooked and again very generous portions.The dining room has good solid pine furniture and the walls are decorated with original art from a local artist.A very friendly couple are now running the pub, and they and the barman made us very welcome serving us fairly late on a Sunday evening. Great value for money and I plan to return :-) The Rev James beer was great too.

Absolutely awfull ! Waited 10 mins for someone to come to the bar, real ale was disgusting & wasn't fit for sale, chips were undercooked, salad was a week old, veg was nuked like hiroshima, the omelete was ok apart from a dog hair & some parts of the order were missing, to cap it off our dog wasnt aloud in because people were eating but the landlords dog was roaming around freely & at points begging, utterley disgusted its a shame people think they can just go into the pub trade when they haven't got a clue

The staff are lovely and attentive, if over so, advising my hungry partner against ordering a full rack of ribs and then offering a doggy bag as he was certain it could not be finished. In the event this was not an issue as the ribs were virtually inedible being tough, chewy and, in my opinion practically raw. The corn on the cob accompaniment was similarly challenging having been cooked and recooked until it too was inedible. My fish and chips was ok and the tartare sauce I requested served in a cute little kilner jar. The salad was just about ok but the tinned peas a big no-no really.Staff hovered around , seeming keen for us to finish and leave. It had seemed dubious whether they would serve us at 8.45pm anyway. Plates were whipped away and no one offered us the chance to have a dessert or coffee. Lingering was never going to be an option.We did respond truthfully and gently when asked if the meal was ok but nothing was done about our disappointment with the food other than an apology. The only other diners ( a family) seemed to be experiencing a similar set of culinary malfunctions and had to send their food back on at least 2 occasions. A disappointing experience overall as the place had been recommended as a place to go for Sunday lunch but as far as a romantic Saturday night meal goes it doesn't tick many boxes despite the setting.Wine came in an individual ,single serve bottle and there were a couple of choices. Beer was ok. Tip: if you do go try arriving early in the evening.Not that easy to find and not much else in the area to choose from.

Handily located as a stopover before going to Freshwater West. Landlord and lady only been here 7 months and are obviously working on improvements, and after speaking to the landlord it is clear they have big plans and this will become a sought after venue for many reasons.Food was good, beer good, (thought a gin and tonic was the same everywhere, but the one served here was more enjoyable than others I had on my trip around Wales this year), service good, owners friendly and happy to chat. Will visit again next year and be eager top see how they are progressing.

After a bit of a trek to find the place from Freshwater West, we were glad to be accepted at end of Service. The landlady was lovely and the waitresses attentive (in fact overly). There wasn't a great atmosphere for a Saturday night but the real ale was good.The problem was with the food. We noticed the group next to us sending stuff back, so that didn't bode well. Prices were good and we ordered a fish and large rack of ribs. The former was, well, OK, but the rack, while enormous, was barely edible: sinewy, blood-spotted and covered in a watery sauce. The chips were undercooked, the sweet corn leathery and presumably zapped to the point of being transparent - and the salad limp and unappealing. For goodness sake, if some of the menu is going to be hard to do justice to in the time available, then take it off sale. It didn't help to have cook coming in and ask us if we were still at it, joke or not, as dealing with his product was hard going despite being ravenous. The local talking to her shoe as a mobile was weirdly entertaining, but we won't be back, - certainly not at end of service. Sorry.

Overnight stay in a campervan on way to ferry. This rural site, under development, is adequate, with hook-up and water available. Landlord helpful and welcoming, on our arrival. Stayed for dinner, that night; food was good value for money but range of beers limited. Would not hesitate recommending the site as good stop-over for a couple of nights.

Spent a lovely evening at The Speculation Inn​ on Friday with my husband and two of our children.We enjoyed beautifully cooked food and lovely hospitality from the Wisniewski family. A very relaxed atmosphere and the children played in the large beer garden while admiring the baby chicks.

We have just enjoyed a delicious Sunday Lunch at The Speculation Inn. The New proprietors are a breath of fresh air! The food was all fresh produce and was cooked to perfection. Totally shocked at how little it cost too. Looking forward to eating there again soon :)

Excellent value for money with equally excellent friendly efficient staff child friendly with ample garden for them to play

Went in for a quick lunch. Lovely coal fire burning very welcoming. Had really lovely lunch, fantastic chips and fab wine. Could,t fault it and the landlord and landlady were very chatty and made you feel at home.

Lovely warm welcome from the new proprietors. Enjoyed delicious, wholesome homemade soup and warm rolls in front of a blazing log fire. Just the thing after a wintry walk!

Heard it was under new management so wanted to give it a go.The land lady wasn't at all welcoming, in fact she only spoke to say there was only one room heated.We waited over an hour for meals that were barely warm and served on cold plates.One of the meals(1/2cicken )was so overcooked it was inedible! The vegie Berger was a slide of cheese&a mushroom in a batch(no actual burger).The poached fish could have been OK if it was warm.Altogether a big disappointment. Certainly won't return

Went for a family meal and it was lovely enough food to feed an army! Cooked to perfection and the desserts was really yummy

We found it difficult to get a meal in Pembroke this evening as everywhere was booked, but just managed to book a table for two at the Speculation Inn.When we arrived they were very busy which is always a good sign.We had to wait a little while, but the service was friendly and they apologised for the delay, but the wait was well worth it.Most of the dishes are home made, good portion sizes, the quality was excellent and we would recommend anyone in the area to give the Speculation a try. It is only a 10 minute drive from Pembroke, but book in advance to be sure of getting a table.

We called about 7.30 p.m. on a Sunday evening looking for food. The reply was, sorry, we only serve Sunday lunch. I was about to go but something made me ask again if we could have some food, even sandwiches. Again, the reply was, we only serve Sunday lunch. I then remembered that there was a sign outside offering food until 8 p.m. Asked about this, he replied, but you can have Sunday Lunch! So we had Sunday Lunch at 8.p.m. and a good lunch it was - meat and six vegetables - a generous quantity of ordinary food.

We came here for dinner based on a good experience last year and were sadly disappointed. The room at the back has too many tables in it and we could not easily sit around the table we were offered because the side chairs were too close to other tables and there was no room at the ends to put your legs under.The decor is a bit of an eyesore and badly uncoordinated.Some the food was OK and the steaks were not. The meat was poor quality and frankly they would be better off the menu. I don't mind waiting an hour for freshly cooked food, which is how long we did wait.There is a small bar where the landlord serves, with a bell to ring if he is not there. It doesn't work. when I pointed this out to him his comment was 'Bloody good job too'. Both the very polite young waitresses need clean uniforms.Overall I was disappointed and would no go back again.

Came here last Saturday to see a live band play, great atmosphere and lots of holiday makers and locals. A really good atmosphere! Will definitely be going back, its much bigger than first thought great generous portions all at reasonable prices.

Stopped off by chance Chris had turkey with a good selection of veg cuz I don't eat meat Theresa gave me veg pie with selection of veg and even made it special with veg gravy Gerry very welcoming at the bar was able eat "al fresco"great weather. Highly reccomend. Thanks both

6 of us walked in at 7:30 on a Thursday evening. Granted that a largish party of about 20 had arrived at the same time. We ordered drinks and then asked for the menu. We were then told that as we hadn't booked they couldn't serve us. When pressed the landlord lost it and told me not to get "sh1ty". All I had asked was to be able to spend money in his pub, sh1ty I was not. We had ordered and paid for drinks so retired to the beer garden to drink up. Shortly afterwards a girl came out to tell us we could order food!!!! I'll NEVER go there again and NEVER recommend that anyone go there. Rude treatment from people running hospitality businesses should not be allowed. They don't deserve to continue in business.

My family and a group of friends decided to call in to this country pub for Sunday lunch. The surroundings and decor were largely as you would expect from a country pub and quite cosy. We ordered from the Sunday lunch menu and when the food arrived were a little disappointed, in the first instance the food was not piping hot and the meat portions were not particularly generous. Whilst the food was ok it came nowhere even close to home cooking, which defeats the object of going out for lunch in the first place, that coupled with the fact that I thought it was expensive at nearly £10 left us feeling slightly disappointed with the experience. On a positive note the staff and owner were polite and friendly. Would call in again for a pint but very doubtful as to whether I would pay for a meal there again.

Went to this pub over Easter weekend,Lanlord very welcoming and food was excellent.Where else can you have a Sunday lunch of roast beef with 7 - yes-7 veg on the side.Home made gravy.I would book to make sure you get a table at the weekend,its a traditional pub but with a Landlady who does all the cooking,not quite sure how does it all,but is a human Dynamo !.I had a pint of speckled hen and couldnt complain about its quality.The pub itself is only a 1.5 miles from Fresh Water West beach,so a great place to stop on the way to or back from the beach.Large beer garden,so when the suns out,relax with a beer in hand,plenty of parking and if you like camping,it has a small campsite attached,perhaps a bit lacking in facilities but you can use the pub toilets and fresh water is available on site.A deal can be done with regard to touring campers and tents etc,use the pub and buy the food and you could stay on site for free but ask Landlord first !!Hope this helps,enjoy a great little pub in pembrokeshire

We have been to the "Spec" a few times over the years. This was the first time for a Sunday lunch. The menu was very limited to the choice of Beef or Turkey roast. I guess being Sunday that we should have not been surprised at this but we decided to visit the Spec. because of the glowing reports about the unusually menu that included Rabbit and Venison. Unfortunately the roasts where not really up to scratch, The veg being slightly over cooked and the potatoes not crispy. We love the place and the owners are delightful and very welcoming. We will definitely go again but not on a Sunday.

This is the type of pub you wish was on your door step, so you could settle there for the night. Unfortunately it's a good drive from Pembroke, but it's worth it. Good hospitality by the landlord and his wife. She cooks fantastic homemade food and Pie's, savory and sweet. There is a good selection of beers and real ales. The kitchen and serving staff are good polite and very efficient . It's also in a beautiful part of West Wales and a good location and is a stunner from the road. Had a few meals in this place but always go when visiting this part of the country
