St. Govan's Country Inn Restaurant in Pembrokeshire

Popped in for Sunday lunch after walking the dog. I didnt book but they quickly made room for us and were very welcoming. I had mixed meat Sunday lunch, absolutely amazing! I would say one of the best sunday lunches i have eaten out! Highly recommend, I will definitely be visiting again. 😀

The food was good but unfortunately we were rushed towards the end of our meal and didn’t get a chance to have deserts. We were told we had to leave by 8pm as there was a reservation which was absolutely understandable but our food only came out at 7:40. We came in at 6pm so had quite a wait for food and leaving before 8 was really out of our capabilities and added pressure. We were told we had 5 minutes to leave which I felt was a bit rude after the time we had waited.

Stayed here while walking the Coastpath. A lovely Pub with 4 rooms. I’m guessing the bathroom had been recently renovated because it was lovely. Even provided Bath Bombs. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was great having the Pub downstairs and we had both lunch & dinner - lovely pub grub. The pub is very close to the Bosherton Lily Ponds. Highly recommend.

Popped in for lunch after visiting the lily ponds and en route to st govans…..light, airy, friendly pub - good menu, reasonably priced - excellent quality food, will be back….

Just eaten a wonderful roast beef dinner. Family meal with a party of 9. All the meals arrived at the same time. They were all perfect too. The staff couldn't do enough and I will say ask for extra gravy. Not that they short change you it's just flipping lovely👍.

Poor quality food at pub prices. Had the chicken tenders which were pink and tasted like Iceland frozen section. The scampi was also underwhelming but the chips were good.

This spot was amazing! Staff were lovely and very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing and my Belgian Waffle for dessert was a highlight! Staff let us stay a bit later as we finished our puddings which was much appreciated! This is a lovely pub to go to after a day out at the beach as it's in a great location :)

Great menu for different tastes. So pleased that they do light bites as I have a small appetite. Glamorgan sausage ,chips and beans were just enough. Very polite staff.

Warm friendly staff Comfortable room (lashings of hat water) Good food excellent breakfast Highly recommended

Enjoyed a superb evening meal and a few drinks on a recent camping trip exploring Bosherton lilly ponds and Barafundle Bay. The place had the feel of a popular, independent pub with a great selection of drinks. Service was very good and the staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Highly recommended.

Wonderful, friendly pub...our dog was made very welcome..excellent food. A bag of doggy treats for sale £1.00 (micky loved them)

Visited with my partner & her friend, took our 2 dogs, and out little Sheltie puppy was adored by the staff Food was so good,freshly cooked & well presented & reasonably priced We were on holiday, but frequently in Pembrokeshire so will DEFINITELY visit again

My husband & I were celebrating our anniversary & we were going to be in the Bosherton area & wanted a special place to eat lunch. The desk attendant at our hotel in Tenby recommended St. Govan’s Inn Restaurant. We owe her a big tip! St. Govan’s Restaurant was a really cozy, pub type environment. The staff were great, the local beer they recommended was perfect & the food was DELICIOUS! We ordered the garlicy mushrooms which were served in a bread bowl with a sauce. They were AMAZING! I was afraid I had filled up on the delicious starter. We decided to split two meals so we ordered the chicken with mashed potatoes & the Bacon & Leek Pie with mashed potatoes & a side order of the 3 cheese macaroni & cheese. My husband was drooling over the Bacon & Leek Pie & didn’t really want to share! Everything we had was good but the Garlicy Mushrooms & the Bacon & Leek Pie really stood out! The waitress asked my husband where we would go for our next anniversary & he said maybe to Wales again so we could eat at St. Govan’s Restaurant again!

Came to Bosherston for a camping weekend, visited this pub, what a beautiful amazing place, dog friendly, also bought dog treats which is available at the bar and all proceeds go to the local animal shelter, staff was superb and really friendly and accommodating, they squeezed us in for Sunday lunch, and it was amazing, one of the best Sunday lunches I have had in a long time, lovely ales on tap and I really enjoyed the Summersby cider on tap, very refreshing, absolutely recommend this beautiful place.

Used the Inn for our evening meal for 4 days , the inn has good staff and food fresh n tasty each visit or favourite was the garlic mushroom starter

We called here after 6.5 mile walk along the coastal path so we were hungry and tired. Even though they were short staffed and there were 5 of us, we were served quickly and the food was delicious! We will definitely come back again!! We were grateful for the warm welcome and comfort of this lovely pub after the horrendous time at the nearby Buckspool campsite (definitely one to avoid!).

The staff are so helpful! The food was very nice with good vegan option on the Sunday Dinner! A great place to have to eat! Highly reccomend

Warm welcome from friendly, helpful staff, we sat outside and watched sunset whilst eating. We had the halloumi/mushroom burger and homemade bacon and leek pie with chips and salad. All delicious and appeared like lightening which was great as we were starving! Fastest food in the west! Easy parking

Bosherston is a bit out of the way but don't worry - it is really worth a visit. The menu is very good pub grub with a daily specials board. Food is very enjoyable, with a sensible range of beers and wines. Service is friendly and relaxed. Definitely recommended.

We are very lucky to live in the area. This is a well run pub and we recommend a visit. Close to St Govan’s chapel and the lily ponds at Bosherton, this pub is definitely worth a visit. My husband loves the sausage sandwiches and the ham is off the bone,not cheap processed meat. In the winter months there’s always a welcoming fire lit, in the lounge to take the chill off and in the summer there’s a small garden area outside.

Fabulous food, cooked fresh and the staff were friendly, helpful and dealt with an over entitled sarcastic whingebag so courteously. Beer was superb, excellent value for money. Thank you

So glad we decided to stop off at this pub! Food and service were both excellent! My steak meal in particular was restaurant standard ! This was late May bank holiday so very busy so sometimes this can have an effect on both service and quality but it didn’t !

Had a lovely meal last night after we had visited St Govans head to watch The Waverley paddle along the coast. The leek and bacon pie was delicious and obviously home made, my Husband had 3 cheese macaroni which again was delicious and our Son had lasagna which was also very tasty. The meals were accompanied by lovely crispy french fries. It rounded off a lovely birthday weekend. We will be back as only local.

After a walk with a friend and my dog on a beautiful sunny evening, this was the perfect place for a much needed drink and bite to eat. We were met with a warm welcome and as it was my first time in a pub with my young dog I was slightly apprehensive about how he would be treated. But he had such lovely attention from staff and I felt as though I could relax. We enjoyed a light supper in a charming pub that was relaxed and welcoming. Can definitely recommend and will be visiting again over the summer. Thankyou all xx

I chose smoked salmon baguette with cucumber cream cheese on whole meal .one portion was two pieces so we shared.it was delicious.also had a welcome gin and tonic

We visited on a busy (sunny) Saturday on our way back from visiting Broad Haven Beach and St Govans Chapel. When we arrived at 1st the service seemed slow but then once we spoke to the lovely lady serving we had come in with the...

Slow and inefficient food service. 50 min wait. Overpriced. The 'seafood platter' is five pieces of deep-fried fish. Waiting staff overwhelmed with even a few tables. It makes no sense why this place even exists. They clearly don't want to serve food. Bar is likewise...

St Govan's Inn is first class in every respect. I had dined here many times with family while holidaying and always liked the food, service, and pub,. So I thought to give the rooms a go with my teenage son for a 4 day stay....

Sunday lunch for our family of four whilst holidaying nearby. We booked a table in advance to ensure they could accommodate us. Vegetarian Glamorgan sausages were a delight, as were the pork, beef and chicken meals eaten by the non veggies. Vegetables were cooked perfectly...

This place has a genuine village pub vibe and a homely ambience. It’s comfortable with plenty of table and chairs in a restaurant style area with some corner booth style seating and a pair of comfy sofas by the huge fireplace. We had steak, surf...

Went twice for a post climbing meal. Decent pub food, no complaints. Best to book at weekends in summer

It's a pub which does food, which is alright. Service was reasonably quick and friendly. Food was pretty good.

On 15th September. We ordered battered cod and a scampi (£27.45 for both) and a diet Coke and an alcohol free beer (£10.30 for both). Overall we felt it was a pretty dear supper. Even now it niggles...

Visited as a family after a rainy walk around the Bosherton Lily Ponds, and we all agreed it was the best pub lunch we've had in a long time. We ordered the lasagne, and scampi, and our daughter was very pleased with her large chicken...

Visited on 20/8. Not impressed. Very packed environment and the Surf & Turf and Sirloin Steaks we had were very poor and hard to eat. We ordered medium steaks but these were like old boot leather. Too tough. We have visited many restaurants in Pembrokeshire...

Excellent pub grub served by friendly staff in this lovely old pub. There are interesting specials, curries you’ll keep coming back for, and a convivial, casual atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

Had sunday lunch, good atmosphere, but far too many dogs, nice portion size, fresh tasty veg and meat. Calamari starter seemed fresh (not frozen) and decent. Beer wasnt spectacular, but I'm a fussy bugger for real ale, so all in all a well run pub...

Standard pub grub. Didn’t book but, there were plenty of tables. Staff were really friendly. Food arrived very quickly which was great because we were very hungry. We were turned away just before at the Stackpole Inn even though it was during advertised opening times....

This pub is perfectly located for visits to the Lily Ponds, St Govan's Chapel and Broad Haven South beach. The food is good and straightforward (usually with a specials board to add to the varied menu). Staff are friendly and do their best to meet...

We were walking parts of the coastal path and popped out from the National Trust carpark to find somewhere for a cool drink. We had a bitter shandy each. (£7.60 for2 pints) The menu looked delicious, but we had more walking to do. The lovely...

Dropped in for an early lunch and very happy. Staff were friendly and the choice of food was excellent. Good choice of ciders and ales.

Ordered and paid for elderflower presse but got what I can only describe as water. Since I asked for “bottle green” which is the brand I assumed I had mistakenly ordered bottled water however I looked it up and there is no such thing and...

This pub was recommended by Geoff at the National Trust and did not dissapoint. The most excellent roast beef lunch ...just like mum would make it ...but better...piping hot . Generous portions faultless.followed by blackcurrant cheesecake ...and big sleep. Do not miss out on visiting...

We went with friends for lunch there after a walk from Stackpole Quay along the coast path. The food is good and the pub very warm and friendly. We didn’t want to walk back, and staff were helpful in recommending a really nice taxi service...

Lovely place; great atmosphere and really friendly service. Stayed 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend and all food was excellent. Breakfast was amazing and even Ted the dog was made to feel very welcome!

What a find - an absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch and so reasonably priced! Excellent service too. I can’t praise this pub enough.

Delicious meal and friendly service. Steaks were very tasty and well cooked. Covid precautions were very good. We particularly liked the hand sanitizer being available outside the toilets, so you could get rid of any germs off door handles

Really lovely experience. Never been before although my partner and I are both local so thought we would try somewhere new. Real Village pub. Homely atmosphere and delicious food. We both had steak which was cooked just as we'd asked. One of the nicest meals...

Lovely pub grub served with knowledge by friendly team. Local ingredients and all round top spot. The village is minutes from some of the areas best beaches so very convenient

If you are looking for straightforward pub food with a well planned menu, then you will probably give this place 5 stars. We have eastern here many times and they always hit the mark. It is not haute cuisine - rather more good food, good...

Small menu but very good value. Excellent food, good portions good wine list and choice of beers. Dog friendly. I had cheeseburger, others had scampi and a curry. No complaints at all. For Puds we had two cheesecake, a lemon meringue and chocolate lumpy puppy...

Waited a long time to have a drinks order taken although recognise it was busy. Scampi was nice but not special. Jacket potato was hard in places. Lasagne OK. Whole place felt a bit unkempt and toilets needed attention.

Visited with a large family group. The food was lovely - freshly cooked and very large portions. Very reasonable prices too. Definitely worth a visit.

I can honestly say this was a seriously disappointing meal out on our holiday. As a parent of three on a low budget this was our only meal at a restaurant on our break away that I'd been saving up for and it was a...

Good, well-made food. A good find macaroni cheese with extra cheese on the side! What more could a cheese lover want. Mum loved her curry too, saying it was extremely tasty - she was very happy. The pie disappeared off Dad’s plate in no time...

i know theres covid to consider at the moment but i wasnt very impressed with this place compared with others during our holiday. There is nice outdoor seating area in a lovely village. it was hot day and our drinks were warm hadn't come out...

Recently visited this pub as part of our only family holiday for nearly three years. Two of my daughters ordered vegan burgers which they didnt have and then we all ordered veggie lasagne instead. Family of six had a meal, dessert and one drink which...

Excellent pub food and of good quality. The bacon and leek pie was amazing so this is my recommendation. The chips were very good and kids meals are good portions. Park at the cafe next door and pay £2. It all goes to charity.

Stopped by for refreshment half way round our 3 hour circular walk from stackpole quay. Sat outside with the dog and ordered lunch. Service was good and food came quickly and was plain and simple, fresh and tasty. Good burger and a variety of sandwiches...

Good pub food. Two vegan options! and crab great too. Great service and lovely location. Lovely classic pub. Thank you

Booked in advance and after visiting the nearby St Govan's Chapel was looking forward to relaxing dinner. On first impression the place could have done with a lick of paint and inside was quite dated and old fashioned. The young waiting staff were attentive and...

After a beautiful walk around the Lily Ponds we were looking forward to a drink & some lunch at this Pub. We decided to sit outside as the weather was good. The back of the Pub did not look very nice so we sat at...

A very rigid atmosphere of masks and tracking and tracing. Travelling with a man with severe autism and we were made to feel very uncomfortable at not wearing masks (the adult man is obviously unable). I didn't want to go down the Equality Act 2010...

Great stay here, just one night as we were on a road trip . We arrived and were immediately told our room numbers, the rooms were lovely, fresh , very clean, nicely decorated with modern bathrooms. After a freshen up we went down for an...

This is a straightforward pub which serves hearty food, an excellent addition to the village of Bosherston. Tables are available inside and outside. The yard round the back is not brilliant, but it provides an extra seating area that complies with pandemic requirements. A well-stocked...

Needed somewhere for 2 nights, booked this as not many places left in South Wales and reviews were good. They didn't lie. After a friendly greeting we were shown to our room. Hospitality tray was good (Horlicks too) and carafe of water was a welcome...

We were recommended to eat here by our accommodation, but were a little underwhelmed. Food was ok - pretty basic and better options in the area. Service was good. Most disappointing was the venue, pub looked very neglected and didn’t feel welcoming

A good honest pub. Reliable food, friendly staff and a very useful location close to the Lily Ponds.

Staying at the local campsite we booked in to the restaurant for our evening meals. A decent pub serving some good food and ale. It was very busy but we felt covid-safe and the staff seem to be coping under these trying times. The hospitality...

Was so disappointed with this place. it came highly recommended from a few people, and gets good overall scores on Trip Advisor, but the menu was dull and the food appeared to be microwaved. My husband’s burger was definitely not homemade and the chips appeared...

I really don’t want to write a bad review of any pub or restaurant right now as the hospitality industry is on its knees thanks to Covid, but had to share the strange and unhappy experience we had here on my birthday 2 weeks ago. I hope that management read these reviews and take them as constructive feedback to improve.. Anyway, having booked ahead we arrived and were seated, there were 4 other tables occupied so it wasn’t busy. We waited a while for someone to take a drinks order, to be told there were no ales at all on tap. No beer. In a pub. Ok. It happens. Never mind. We ordered alternative drinks and our food. I had seen that a “seafood platter” was an option, and being so near the sea was looking forward to some fresh fish or seafood. Forget that. I could’ve gone to Iceland (shop not country) - was informed that the platter consists of scampi, battered prawns, crab cakes and calamari. All from the freezer straight into the deep fat fryer. Oh well, forget that, I may as well go the whole frozen food hog and have scampi & chips then, which I ordered. My partner ordered the St Govan’s burger which sounded like a decent bet - surely local meat in a homemade bun couldn’t go wrong? We then waited. And waited. And waited. Others who had arrived after us were served. And finished. I was about to go and enquire when I saw the waiter (manager?) look over at us, do a double take, look at his notepad, hurriedly key our order in to the system and then disappear. No-one came to explain or apologize. Our food arrived about 10 minutes later which tells you all you need to know about how good it was. ‘Finest wholetail scampi’ was just scampi, ‘rustic chips’ were frozen chips except they had a bit of skin on (which apparently makes them rustic) but worst of all was the burger which tasted exactly like the worst kind of cheap frozen burger you can buy. Not delicious sounding local meat formed into a patty, it was grey, thin and rubbery, with a taste that took us back to the 1970’s. If they had run out of the decent burgers this was a very, very poor substitute. When our plates were cleared I was brave and said (very gently and I hope kindly) that I know you’re working hard but if you have forgotten to put someone’s order through it is actually good customer service to fess up and say sorry (we’d waited 45 minutes by the time he’d realized, so nearly an hour by the time we got our food) and all I got in reply was a grunt! No apology, nothing. I was speechless! It takes us Brits quite a lot of bad before we will make a fuss, and generally I just put up and shut up. And I wasn’t stroppy or entitled. Perhaps I should’ve been. I didn’t even mention how poor the food was, we’d eaten it after all, as we were hungry, but jeez I wouldn’t pay £13 each to eat that sort of frozen cheap food again. Anyway he silently knocked the drinks off our bill when my partner paid. I guess that was meant to be an apology but it didn’t really cut it. Some basic customer service training is badly needed. And a menu upgrade, or alternatively prices that reflect the freezer-to-fryer/microwave quality if fresh ingredients are too financially risky in the current climate (and I get that). We will be coming back to beautiful Bosherston but we won’t be coming back here until things change a bit. I really genuinely hope they do. PS this is only the second review I have ever written on Trip Advisor and the other one was also a birthday meal - we don’t go out often and when we do it’s a treat, but sadly this wasn’t!

We decided we would give them the benefit of the doubt despite the poor recent reviews. We phoned in advance to check that they had the vegan options stated on the menu which they said they had, however after ordering the vegan burger I was told they didn’t have a burger and I was offered vegan sausages instead. I accepted and when it came it was literally some vegan sausages on a bun with about 3 pieces of lettuce, a couple of pieces of red onion and a thin spread of relish that definitely looked like it had come in a bottle. I said to the waitress that it looked a bit bland and asked if there was any chance of sprucing it up, maybe they could add some fried onions, to which she replied that they only did raw onions. I pointed out that if they had a frying pan they could probably manage to fry some. The chips were fine and salad was fresh but had no dressing. The meal was edible but very boring and at £13 a rip off. My mum had a veggie lasagne which was marginally better but certainly not worth the £13 price tag. I have had far better meals for a fraction of the price. I think they need to make more effort with the vegan option or reduce the price and the staff need to be more accommodating.

We have been visiting The St Govans Inn for many years, and have always been very happy with the food and drink and atmosphere, unfortunately our visits over the past year have been very disappointing, whereas we used to get wholesome, hearty meals at reasonable prices, and friendly enthusiastic staff, there is now a very different vibe, with the staff being less than friendly, sometimes to the point of offishness, and the food quality has changed hugely, there is a similar menu now, but the cooking leaves much to be desired, the once fabulous Welsh Cawl is now almost unpleasant, (tried by different members of our party on three occasions) the other meals we ordered were a mixture of under cooked, and over cooked, resulting in a member of our group feeling very unwell after eating the under done Beef burger, we phoned the pub twice the next day to let them know, and were told that someone would call us back, but they never did.I understand the Covid restrictions put an extra burden on Pubs and restaurants, but that really shouldn't affect the cooking.Sad to say that we wont be visiting The St Govan's Inn again.

This is a great pub that always provides exactly what you would expect. In a great location, it offers a friendly welcome to everyone, with seating inside and out. All Covid friendly!The bar offers a perfectly acceptable range of drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. Only one detail... The range of beers has significantly diminished over the last few years.There is a range of menus to fit in with the time of day (don't forget the specials board). The food was properly cooked to order with good portions.A very pleasant place with very pleasant people. Relax and enjoy yourselves.

A lovely building in a great location that has a lot of potential. However, the food is very overpriced. £9 for a baked potato with beans on. £10.50 for a bowl of macaroni and cheese with some bread. £6.95 for a few pieces of frozen deep fried seafood. Almost £4 for a small bowl of fried mushrooms.If the food was high a high standard I would understand these prices, however, it is just average pub food. No steaks available, 1 vegetarian option that was a frozen burger. In addition the toilet was an absolute state with water all over floor. In these times you'd think that hygiene and cleanliness would be a top priority. Very very disappointing.

What a lovely place to have lunch. The bread is really fresh and we all enjoyed our dishes. The Ploughman’s was great. Thank you.

Loverly friendly place. Popped in here after our walk. For a bite to eat. Choose this place as it’s 🐕 friendly. Food was excellent. Very clean. And very efficient service. Very welcoming.

Roast dinner was fantastic, big portions and the best Yorkshire puddings I’ve had in ages. Nice and cosy inside and the staff were really friendly.

What a lovely pub run by lovely people. We were staying at stackpole and got a lift to the pub one Saturday afternoon. We drank real ale and had a starter each. I had calamari which was perfectly cooked, light and crispy, my husband had garlic mushrooms which would have served two, and our friend had the homemade pate, which was delicious. Friendly staff and customers. We were given directions on how to get back to the stackpole centre. A bit hairy in the dark, trying to navigate across the lily pools and around fishermen, but we made it. We will come back in the week for their curry night. Looking forward to it.!

Ordered two Ploughmans , out they came with some still frozen bread rolls and some slightly green ham , upon complaining they took the rolls away and replaced them with........some more frozen bread rolls , brilliant, yeah nah if they cant even get that right forget it . Girlfriend had a dodgy stomach the next day , whether it was from this place I cannot say ,you make your mind up.

As others have mentioned, the exterior of this pub is no great shakes so we approached with low expectations, but inside it is warm and welcoming and extremely friendly to kids too. We had a Sunday roast and it was absolutely perfect - just like my Nan used to cook it! The staff were so attentive. What a little gem.

Me and a few of my University friends were down at Stackpole for a few days. We had just finished a long day and managed to get to the pub just in time for food. The staff were lovely and welcoming. No issues with us turning up just before they stopped serving. The food and drinks were great. The pub is set in a lovely location and inside is warm and welcoming. Would very much recommend!

The outside appearance is not great to be honest but venture inside and this pub is delightful: bright, clean, good decor, comfy seating and friendly staff. We enjoyed a good portion of calamari and rustic chips washed down with draft Butcombe ale. Prices seemed more than fair and we look forward to returning.

Visited whilst touring around with 3 friends and two dogs. What a lovely welcome , wonderful food, fresh and very tasty. Service could not have been better, not a busy lunchtime I guess but very attentive staff. Will definitely call in again.

My friend wasn't sure about going in, however, that sure changed as soon as we went inside.Great decor, fantastic coffees, tea and hot chocolate.My wife says the brownie was the best she has every had.Clean, warm and friendly staff as well.Well worth a visit

Was not expecting to find a pub here so this was a pleasant surprise. We arrived what we thought was late for lunch but fortunately, they have a restricted menu available between normal luch and dinner hours which really fitted the bill. Dog-friendly, which was a bonus. Friendly staff and good value for money.

Sunday evening meal, great variety, nice food and friendly staff, have a separate eating area for non doggy people, but dogs are very welcome in one half of the pub. Good value. My daughter loved the 3 cheese Mac with salad and bread, surf and turf for my son which looked great and my husband enjoyed a steak, my curry was delicious.

A good range to choose from - standard pub meals but all freshly cooked and delicious. Veggie and GF options. Quick service and lovely staff. Nice to feel welcome with our dogs - separate dining for those without dogs.

Stopped here briefly for chips and a half pint. Much more modern inside than the outside suggests, a really nice and cosy place to spend some time. Excellent menu with some local dishes and vegetarian/vegan options and a cheerful, welcoming atmosphere.

It's the 3rd time I have visited this little pub and had some lovely food and the customer service is excellent. Its dog friendly too which is always a bonus. The meat cawl is a must try 😉

This is a great pub that always provides exactly what you would expect. In a great location, it offers a friendly welcome to everyone, with seating inside and out.

Popped in for Sunday lunch with a party of 8 and 2 dogs, wonderful welcome,good beer food and a relaxed atmosphere. Service reflects the part of the country your in . Not superfast not superslow. This is pembrokeshire take a chill pill and change down a gear or two, have a chat with a couple of locals at the bar and learn the history of the area and maybe a couple of places to visit you hadn't thought of. Top place highly recommend after a walk round the lily ponds.

Came across this following a long walk.

We visited this lovely pub for Sunday lunch. Fortunately we had pre-booked a table as the place is very popular. The food was excellent in both quality and quantity with a selection of roast meats available with all the trimmings and plenty of fresh seasonal veg. Although the main course was ample we did manage to squeeze in a wonderful dessert! The service was good and the staff very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend the St Goven's

Considering the warm and sunny Easter weather had been predicted for a good ten days, you would think that over an Easter weekend they would have ordered enough beer and brought on more staff. As it was, there was only one ale left by the middle of Saturday night, generally one person behind the bar (possibly the landlord) who had zero sense of urgency in anything he did, and food that took an hour and a half to arrive. Considering the bog standard nature of the food (frozen chips and tinned mushy peas) you would have thought that this would be food that should come out on time. This has never really been all that good of a pub - but it's the only one for several miles and that is probably what the owners rely on. It could be so much better with relatively little effort. £5 a pint more or less, and £14 for very standard food. Never again.

This place has been such a lovely part of my family’s growing up. We have visited St Govan’s for about 10 years but sold our caravan a year ago as our kids got too old. We took our young adults back today and wow what a change the same menu and drinks but 30-40% more expensive a curry that was £8 is now £14 three drinks £14 when before we had change from £10. Clearly the owners now realise they have a captive audience and intend to fleece them for every penny they can. I always remember the same guy at the bar gently sipping his beer no surprise I didn’t see him today as the staff were cold and the prices hot.

Awful food for high prices ... scampi was undercooked, chips synthetic and certainly not rustic, stroganoff tasted like dishwater- one of our party has felt ill ever since eating the scampi...

West Wales is a beautiful place, but very easy to get lost! Recognised this pub as being one of the closest to our rented cottage so headed there hoping for some directions.

I have been visiting this area for three years now and have often eaten and stayed at The St Govan's Inn. Previously I have enjoyed the experience, however, this time things were not as they were. We were ignored at the bar for quite a while and not made to feel welcome in any way. There was an overall odour of old chip fat which put us off eating or even staying for any more drinks! The food coming out looked OK but not tempting and the dishes on the "Specials Board" have not changed since my first visit. As this area has fantastic local ingredients this shows a lack of imagination. Sorry St Govan's Inn, although you are in a fantastic location, there are better places near by.

Exactly what is needed after a walk around the lily ponds. Great cosy warm pub with good range of ales and food.
