Square & Compass Inn in Pembrokeshire

Nice beer and friendly owner/staff. Dog friendly. Stopped doing food earlier this year due to the drop in business over covid. A shame. May start again but unsure.

Nice friendly atmosphere, great value on drinks and a great landlord. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a cheap drink with friendly locals, both myself and my family had a lovely time

Lovely gem of a pub with amazing views and fantastic Pasty's well worth a visit!! We stopped here due to the reviews and were not disappointed! Lovely pint and a homemade pasty!

We’ve been looking forward to eating here - and we weren’t disappointed. We brought along our son and daughter in law and were offered a cosy table in a corner where we could people watch whilst eating! Great service, helpful new staff in training, who were so polite and smiley and lovely food. This wonderful establishment is now our “local” and can’t wait to return very soon!

While spending a week in the area, we wanted a Sunday lunch, phoned to book(luckily) before the holiday started, Friendly guy on the phone took my booking for us & our pooch, When we arrived on sunday, pub was very busy ,it had an outdoor area where we expected to be sat, as we had a dog ,but no we were shown into the restaurant we enjoyed a very nice meal , we would highly recommend this friendly place ,but make sure to book as its popular

We called in for something to eat on Wednesday 4th September but found a notice saying the Kitchen was closed so had to go elsewhere. We called in again on Saturday afternoon just before 5pm and after the barman had served everyone I asked if we could book for later that evening. The barman said he wasn't sure if " she was cooking tonight " so we should ring later. I found this all rather unwelcoming so didn't bother ringing. Disappointed 😕😕

Went to this pub with my family. We all had different from the menu and we all enjoyed our food very much. Loved the chips! Nice friendly surroundings.

What a gem, food was outstanding, freshly cooked and piping hot and amazing choice of meat and veg, can see why you have to book in advance. Would have to go to some real top end restaurant to beat this. Will be back for more.....

Visited whilst camping nearby after torrential rain and not fancying attempting to cook whilst soaking wet. Outside did not look impressive but other reviews good so we thought we’d try it. Bit worried as most of reviews were for Sunday lunch. So we were there minutes after it opened, a warm greeting. We ordered beef curry and chilli with a side of chips. Impressed by the choice of vegetarian food as well, not the standard and a good few options. Meals were not expensive, especially compared with other local places, so didn’t expect that much. When food came it was plentiful, really tasty and obviously home made. Service was friendly and we were surprised how many people came in to eat and drink considering it was early and mid week. Would definitely recommend and next time we are camping in the area we will definitely plan to eat there more often. Just wish it was our local!

Booked for the Sunday lunch after hearing great reviews, the food was absolutely fab and there was plenty of it cost just under £10 per person and well worth it Will be returning

This little gem The Square and Compass is a delight. Wonderful welcome. Accommodation is very clean and comfortable with a lovely breakfast. We stayed on to enjoy the Sunday Calvary and oh my what a treat. Piping hot. Totally mouth watering and very enjoyable. Especially the honeycomb cheesecake. Highly recommend. Staff very friendly and very helpful.

The pub is clean friendly and comfortable. We visited on a very busy Sunday lunch time however little waiting time and we were seated and getting our food from the carvery in short order. There was an excellent choice of roast meats vegetables and all of the accomniments such as Yorkshire puddings cauliflower and broccoli in cheese sauce etc etc. My wife had beef and noticed there was no horse radish left. She asked one of the staff and by the time I sat down it was on our table. The choice of beers and lager was good I can't comment on the wine choices as we just had beer and soft drinks. The pudding was also very good and again a good choice.even though the place was packed it didn't feel to crowded and there was no rush to get us moving once we had eaten. All in all a very good pub great service very friendly staff. With ample parking. We were told that they have a steak night in the week but you would have to book as it gets booked up quickly. If its of the same quality and sensible pricing as the Sunday lunch it's not something to miss. Unfortunatly we had to leave this beutifull part of Wales before steak night. One thing to be aware of both pub and location have the same name. So if you shop at the spa or the garage even the shop cash ☠ nt it comes up as the square and compass on your statement. The pub staff warned us as they regularly get calls from people thinking the pub has charged them when it's the shop. Personally I can't see a problem but the pub staff did tell us they are always getting called about this. I would highly recommend taking the few minutes drive if staying in trefin as its well worth a visit.

The Sunday lunch is amazing for the value of just £10 per head. Staff were helpful and the traditional pub setting was great with a good atmosphere. Will be returning

Because this is the best Sunday Lunch you will find in Pembrokeshire it is advisable to book in advance. Trust me, it is wonderful!

Sunday carvery was busy , constant stream of people but we were not disappointed, staff very friendly, excellent food.

Sunday carvery was busy , constant stream of people but we were not disappointed . It was excellent, turkey, beef or pork, roasties,boiled pots, beans, parsnips, stuffing, peas, red cabbage, and much more, gravy and sauces. It was absolutely delicious . ( and i am fussy).

My family and I have eaten at the square several times and never been disapppointed, especially on a Sunday for the carvery, all you can put on your plate with plenty of selection of veg, staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend.x

We had a couple of wonderful meals here .

Having visited the Square a number of times I would highly recommend the carvery as it is tasty and you can help yourself to as much as you like. The staff are very helpful and polite. It does get busy at this place so booking early is advisable as it is very very popular with both locals and holiday makers.

A local group we belong to had booked an evening meal for about thirty people at the Square and Compass. It was very good in every way. A pub with a good atmosphere. Plenty of room. A splendid carvery meal, with generous portions of everything, and seconds of everything freely available. The pub essentially offers standard pub grub, but pub grub of a very high standard. But there is also something extra of offer: we know from previous visits that the cook, a vegetarian, includes some brilliant vegan and vegetarian options on the full menu. Highly recommended.

Mmmm. Going by the reviews on here and elsewhere we decided to book a table for 4 for the Sunday Carvery. At 10 quid per head it seemed reasonable only if we got enough, problem was we all got one slice of meat whereas the regulars got 2 or 3. Now I'm not saying we got served less because of our English accents but we were given short shrift when booking and a rather insulting attitude from the chef when served our food.

We went for Sunday Lunch it was a great meal fill your plate what more could you want. Staff was all very friendly and the whole place was very clean.

After seeing some of the reviews, was a bit hesitant coming here but as it was only a short walking distance from where me and my husband were staying we decided to go there for our evening meal. Was so glad we did, prices were very reasonable for the area and the food was delicious. I had the lasagne and my husband had the beef curry, both meals were very tasty and was a good portion size too. Place was a little cramped so if you are a large party I would pre book, as it was only me and my husband we had no problem but I can imagine a large party would. Don't listen to the negative reviews, I would recommend a visit.

We popped in to this pub and was pleasantly surprised to see they had a vegan option for the carvery. We had a delicious smoked tofu pie with a big jug of vegan gravy. Good choice of veg and potatoes too. The staff were really helpful and polite. A great find thank you.

Called at this pub hoping to have a evening meal. The atmosphere was non existent two men drinking at the bar and a couple of young men playing pool. The man behind the bar (presumably the landlord) in our opinion was quite rude. We asked if they were serving food and a lady sat near the bar said yes they were. We asked for a menu and she also said the special that night was a crab salad with new potatoes I ordered the crab salad and the guy said "you can't have that the potatoes aren't ready" I said I would wait but he insisted they weren't even boiling. My husband and I ordered a pasta dish, which came eventually. Unfortunately they both looked like ready meals cooked in the microwave. One of the men at the bar never stopped swearing and as there were only a few people in the place everybody could hear. Altogether a complete no no for this Inn.

Had a lovely Sunday Lunch all fresh veg the only down thing was that we only had a choice of Pork or Turkey they had run out of Beef but other than that the food was 1st class and the welcome was good would certainly go back and good value

Best Pub Food We have had in a long long time. Fresh veg cooked beautifully. Choice of meats. Premises were spotless. Staff and service first class. Wish we'd found this pub on the first day of our holiday instead of our last.

Great Pub food, no frills but quick, simple, served with a smile and tasty. Good carvery for Sunday lunch and great value

Friends and I visited twice over a couple of days. Lovely staff, great home made food, sourced from local producers. It really made such a difference!

La esposa y 2 hijos y yo fuimos para una comida en el primer día de nuestras vacaciones con vistas a comer allí con regularidad durante la semana, ya que está a 2 minutos de la casa estamos alojando. Sólo había un par de lugareños. Nos paramos en el bar por 15 minutos y eran totalmente ignoraron por la mujer detrás de la barra, que estaba más interesado en que servir a los clientes charlando. Realmente decepcionado! En el lado positivo, fuimos por unos 20 minutos y encontramos un pequeño pub llamado la Esquina pieza y la comida y las bebidas para 4 era justo debajo de 40 libras. . . La comida era increíble! !

Four of us had the Sunday carvery today and it was possibly the best we've ever had. Glad we booked a table as it filled up quickly, always a good sign. Three meat choices and a large selection of accompaniments and sauces. Really lovely.

Great atmosphere, 3 choices of meat and plenty of veg to help yourself to. I recommend booking as this place gets very busy. Service was really good and is a family run business. Would highly recommend to anyone and is in a lovely location, not...

Had a supper with friends and were welcomed by the locals even though rugby was on the TV and Wales were playing ( and luckily won!). Very tasty good pub grub, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. The half a chicken, plus delicious coleslaw, fresh salad...

We had a Sunday carvery and without doubt one of the best we have had . Choice of three meats . Veg cooked to perfection and as much as you can eat.the staff polite and cheerful. The Resturant spotless . As good as it gets

What a fantastic meal with excellent service .The decor is lovely and the atmosphere relaxing.Booking is recommended as it can get busy this was my first visit but won't be the last couldn't fault anything.

This friendly pub is on the main road between Fishguard and St Davids, near the village of Croesgoch. Tired after a long journey south, we were pleased to take a break and enjoys a good meal.

Cuatro de nosotros nos visitó hace un par de noches en camping Trefin mientras. Sólo así muchas barbacoas puede tener antes de que necesitas algo diferente! Teníamos Chili's, gambas y burger, que eran muy buenos y bien presentados. Regados con cervezas y Pinot grigio... velada...

Equipo muy amable y buena comida, a la tierra y el servicio. Nuestras vacaciones de la plaza y una brújula de lo más agradable.

Went there for sunday lunch back in April and if you like stewed vegetables it's fine. I had to spoon the veg up on account of the fact they disintegrated when I tried to use my fork. A very forgettable experience and even the service was very poor. Having eaten a very unappetising lunch we thought we'd give the dessert a go but when it finally arrived after a very long wait that was pretty average at the best.

Stopped here for dinner on the first night of our holiday, peculiar little place really! We had the steak night deal, two 10oz rump steaks with all the trimmings and a bottle of wine for £30. Slightly disappointed as we'd asked for the steaks medium rare and they came well done. The trimmings were all cooked lovely and the steaks were good though a lot more cooked than we'd have liked.

Stopped for carvery last Sunday. Wow! Really good food, all home cooked. Plenty of choice. Reasonable price. Will be back for more crackling desserts are yummy too

Excellent service, fantastic food, and good company. First of many visits for me.Easily found on the St David's to Fishguard road. Friday night is steak night, best I have eaten for years...

The square and compassion inn Pembrokeshire have recently started doing Sunday lunch carvery . We decided to give it a go & we were not disappointed, it was beautiful hot tasty & plenty of choice. Will be going back again soon.

Worth booking as very popular with locals. Excellent Carvery lunch tremendous value for money. Good selection of veg. Home made puds - apple and blackberry crumble was fab. Great staff - very welcoming!

we had the pleasure of staying in this inn for 2 nights, what a lovely place,rooms spotless clean and very comfortable, the host couldn't do anymore to make a pleasurable stay. The food they serve is very tasteful and extremely generous, really recommend the scampi and chips

This pub has wonderful atmosphere and history. The staff were delightful and the food was delicious.

We went in and wanted a snack. Sat at an empty table but were told that they were fully booked. No one else in the place other than us and one other person. As we left the person at the bar was served scampi in a basket. It would have cost nothing to have offered us this. If this is the usual standard of service the owner/landlord has much to learn. We won't be returning,

Having visited a number of art galleries we were heading for the Farmers Arms in Mathry, an old favourite. On the way we spotted the Square and Compass and decided to give it a try.The pub comprises a traditional bar area with wooden settles and tables and a restaurant (open in the evenings) and a large

A very enjoyable evening. Friday night is steak night with at £25 for two steak meals and a bottle of wine. Friendly atmosphere. Family run pub.
