The Bishops in Pembrokeshire

Second time we have eaten here. Food lovely. Service very good.

We go here a lot and always good food and great staff fantastic

The Bishops, St Davids, Pembrokeshire. Great atmosphere in The Bishops. Plenty of tables to sit down and eat and drink. Cosy table at the front next to the rather unique looking fire. Had a pint of Guinness which was excellent. A lot of people drinking the Guinness there which shows it’s good. A nice beer garden out the back to enjoy during the summer.

Lovely place, good atmosphere and food was excellent

Fantastic staff as always and we have been going here for a number of years no . Week days and Sunday lunch it is always great...

A classic pub. Never had a bad meal or pint here.

We visited The Bishops whilst travelling through St. David’s. The pub is very well situated within the town if you are visiting the Cathedral or even passing through. If you’re lucky enough, like us, there are a number of free spaces on the hill, to the side of the Cathedral. There was three of us visiting, we ordered some food from the light bites / sandwiches selection - Ham & Cheese, Coronation Chicken, Tuna Mayo, two soft drinks and a pint of Madri. Now the total bill did come in at £38.50 which in my opinion isn’t cheap, but each sandwich was fresh, tasty and served with a tasty side salad and crisps. The sandwiches really were tasty and very filling, we would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the area and fancy a quick bite to eat with a decent pint!

A lovely period pub with an old world charm, friendly staff and great food. Bookings for food advised as it can get very busy. A good selsction of drinks available and a great atmosphere

A fabulous pub with great service, food, and drink. Suggest you book ahead if possible

excellent service and welcome from all staff, the manageress was very pleasant , and all the other staff fed of that which made the whole pub have a very happy vibe. on the Saturday lunch time we had sandwiches and some chips and the were fresh and delicious. there was at least 3 real ales there which was great and we had the Double Dragon. We booked a table for Sunday lunch for 2.30 , Arrived at 2pm had a drink at the bar and the welcome again was spot on. food again was very nice and this time we had Cwrw Brav and a red wine. All in all a very good pub with good food and drink at a reasonable price. very friendly , with a huge log fire and nice background music. we had been to this pub before and it was better than ever this time. WE WILL BE BACK thanks to all staff

What a lovely pub. Welcoming atmosphere, very helpful and friendly service from the staff. Food was delicious. Fish pie was outstanding. A great place to call into. Menu was varied, plenty of seating, plus nice outside area.

Solid pub, good atmosphere. Beer a bit lacking but that’s all cool, more there for location etc than a solid pint

I was there during BOIA festival and the pub and staff coped brilliantly with us all.

Had a lovely lunch today, 4 of us; BLT, Ham sandwich, child's pizza and chips and a burger and chips. With drinks it was £50ish. Sandwiches were £8-£9, pizza £7 and burger £16. Service was quick and friendly, bacon and ham were really fresh and thick and tasty, burger was fresh/meaty. Perhaps a little on the pricey side but overall very nice with a lovely view of the top of the cathedral (we sat outside with the dog).

Food served until 3pm amd we arrived at 2.50 but katsu burger and the angry dog burger both served promptly and were delicious. Goid choice of beers. We will return

Great place Great atmosphere found by accident I can highly recommend the fish pie it was delicious. Prices very reasonable. Very impressed 👏

Welcoming dog friendly and nice food

Found The Bishops by accident, its normal to book, had to wait 5 minutes for a table. Food & service definatly 5 stars. Highly recommend fish pie. Thank you.

My hubby and myself came in from a chilly walk to a warm and welcoming pub/restaurant which served nice food. I had the curry of the day and hubby had Surf 'n' Turf. We ate all of it and will return.

This is a lovely pub. The staff were so very friendly and the food was delicious. They were welcoming to us after we had been on a long hike and were tired and hungry. We all had different menu items and they were all delicious. The chili was great as was the lamb chop special.

Update 2024 All still valid. Great service from attentive bar staff. Delicious food. First time in a long time that I have had the chance to visit this pub. Great beer, great service (at a late hour), atmosphere a bit subdued but it was an hour or so before closing time on a wet Thursday night. The lamb kofta burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly. We had special requirements which were dealt with perfectly. Looking forward to our next visit

A great pub for food with friendly staff. A bit quirky with some of the tables having names. Spotless WCs.

Popped in for a few pints. Great atmosphere and a lively pint. Lovely old pub nice and clean. Didnt have food but food looked great

Great pub great food and fantastic service

Disappointed as no Sunday lunch served here but do serve food and fairly quick service even thou busy, dogs welcome as well.

Cracking pub, lovely atmosphere, the staff were great. Service was quick, and the food was great. We would definitely visit again.

Good beer garden and quite nice place to sit outside when the weather is nice. Service was pretty awful, with bar staff not knowing what some drinks were or how to serve them, despite being on their drinks menu. Asked if they do cocktails to be told "no, but if you have any suggestions or want to tell us how to make it, feel free" 🤦🏻‍♂️ Had their vegan Thai Penang curry for food and it was the most tasteless and bland curry I've ever tasted, and all for a crazy high price too. Charged £17 for some rice, a few chips, and about 4 slices of pepper, 3 green beans, and 2 mange tout in a bland tasteless sauce devoid of any spice or aromatics, nevermind tasting anything like a Thai Penang curry! I hope they take this as constructive feedback to improve their food rather than use it as an excuse to stop serving vegan options! Would only recommend if sunny to sit in the beer garden with some Rekordelig, and would definitely avoid the food based on our experience!

We chose smoked salmon with toast.falafels and flat bread.the service was friendly and food well presented and tasty.location is very central to cathedral and menu seemed varied.

Good selection of beers Great view from beer garden Recommended if visiting StDavids

Popped in here one evening during our stay in at David's and they were extremely busy but they still made the time to find us a table and serve us food and we were a large group. Service was fast and efficient lovely staff. Great menu plenty of choice and our food was beautiful.

Great food and friendly staff. Can be hard to get a table. Always reserved.

We ate here over the recent Bank Holiday and it was truly beautiful. On arrival we were told that they were fully booked but that we could grab a table with the dogs outside. It was extremely busy with roughly a 10 man deep queue for the bar / food the whole time, however the team were amazing and very quick to get through everyone. The wait on food was minimal and very surprising given the volume of people in there. Highly recommend the outdoor terrace with views over St Davids Catherdral.

The service was very good and so was the main dish, however dessert and coffee were a huge disappointment. Coffee was very watery, and salted caramel brownie was nothing but sugar. The double cream acompaning it was very thin and tasteless. So -yes for food, but dessert and coffee - somewhere else 😉

Busy pub with nice vegetarian options. The chips were a little underwhelming, but I really enjoyed my burger. I wish they had more nonalcoholic options. They are dog friendly, but it's quite confusing because there are signs all over the place saying no dogs, despite the pub being full of them.

Nice little pub, I'd say food was slightly over priced for the quality but it still worth a visit.

Very good quality food, served promptly.

Lovley atmosphere, great food good friendly service, and value for money

Great bear and relaxing atmosphere with views on lovely St David's Cathedral and Bishops palace. Did not eat there so can't comment on food sorry. Although the plates were looking very appealing.

Long serving hours. Even when all tables were reserved. They still fitted us in. Sizable portions of good tasty food, from the menu. We would certainly go there again.

No distractive TVs and lots of good food and cheer.

Had lunch at the Bishops with a group of us visiting on holiday. The atmosphere was lovely and staff were super friendly, with the pub also accepting dogs! Unfortunately, however, the food was awful. 2 of us ordered the avocado and walnut salad which came undressed, unseasoned, and with over ripe (almost mouldy tasting) avocado. Whilst the onion rings were delicious, the smoked salmon another member of the group had was underwhelming. It would be a lovely place to go for a drink, with a great atmosphere, but would recommend looking further afield for food.

Disorganised chaos. Had a table booked but struggled to get any staff's attention on arrival and very chaotic trying to get food and drink ordered at the bar. The scampi and chips was dire, chunky chips tasted old and out the oven, cut 2 bits of scampi open and did not look nice. Left majority of dinner. The wife enjoyed her fish pie and the kids said their pasta was ok. On the positive the banoffee pudding was nice. Won't be returning any time soon.

Exelent food and cozy but could be a bit cheaper.

Ate a bacon burger and a ham sandwich. I would say absolutely normal. Good choice of beers. You pay at the cash register and then your food is brought to your table.

Busy pub serving lots of meals for tourists. We had good food at a fair price

Lots of young staff who seemed uninterested and not well trained. A strong supervisor would help to raise service standards. The food was tasty and well presented.

Lovely pub with good beer garden. Dog friendly in some indoor areas.

Nice place, lovely staff but unfortunately the food not great, our only choice at the the time we ate but my son had surf and turf and both the prawns and steak were overcooked.

Delicious food served by polite and friendly staff. Out in 'the shed' on a reasonably pleasant-weather evening.

Very sad looking Vegan burger. Was tepid, had no sauce and all a bit bland, all for the ridiculous price of £15.50...........Just because its vegan doesn't mean it shouldn't be too the same standards as the rest of the menu!

Great pub superb atmosphere. Fantastic team speedy and friendly

Ate delicious scones with clotted cream

Good sandwiches and scones! You can also sit outside on a terrace.

Friendly, lovely outside seating are with views of the Cathedral

Great pub with true pub food, good service, great beers

Authentic pub. Ordered fish n chips and it was made absolutely spot on. Draught beer was fresh n cold. Clean tables. Hard working and friendly staff. 5 stars well deserved. Thank you.

Bland as. The staff seemed polite but nobody seemed to managing the place, the pub seems like- you're about to get hearty home cooked meal,- and you pay for it too,! but thats not what you get. A Bit of a tourist trap i think. I dont understand how fish chips and mushy peas can have literally ZERO flavour. but it didnt. Almost all the things on our plates screamed 'from frozen' - and cheap frozen' but if your charging 17/18£ per dish you expect better. Either drop your prices to £9.95 to meet the quality if what you serve or put some effort in to the food. Also, asking for payment and a tip before youve even served the drinks is abit odd. Would not eat here again.

Great pub Great service Good food

Great pub with great beer garden. Food was good. Service was absolutely brilliant.

I would definitely not recommend this pub or the ale. I don't know who does the recruiting but you need to replace them!! What amused me was the wifi password...'happypub....I DON'T THINK SO!!! ..

We had called earlier for booking, we were a group of 7 people. They told us it is walk in, they don’t take reservations. The next day when we went in they said we need to return their table in the next half an hour. Our kids were hungry so we thought anything is better than nothing at all. When we entered, almost 5-6 tables were reserved. Didn’t understand why they didn’t want to take our reservation. When we sat at a table, ordered our food for the kids, it was almost time to leave. We were told one of the table is getting cleaned and they will be able to move us there. After 5minutes waiting, they didn’t even inform us that they had already given the table to someone else. The most chaotic experience. We chose to leave before they could show us the door, leaving food on the table because staffs were confused as well. No one to blame perhaps, but we didn’t have a pleasant time there.

Excellent dog friendly pub in the centre of St Davids. Good menu, food well cooked tasty and good portions. Staff very good and attentive. The local ipa was also perfect.

Food is top notch here. The fish and chips was 👌🏼

Decided to stop by for a quick lunch after visiting the Cathedral. As it was a "warmer" day, we noticed that the inside got a little too hot. There is also an outside seating option which was quite nice. The place has super friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious! Also an honourable mention to the big portion size for such an affordable price! Highly recommend. ☺️

Done the rounds of St David’s pubs etc and got to say the toilets here are a disgrace! Come in all, get your act together, no excuse these days!

Typical pub food and this time I chose a plant burger. My husband had a beef lasagne. I wanted to say that you can't go wrong with a burger but unfortunately I had bad experiences with burgers too. This one was delicious! Yummy burger and ban, with some crunchy fresh red onions and lettuce, and sweetness coming from a fresh tomato and caramelised onions. Chips great, coleslaw perfect. Even on a really full and busy evening. Lasagna was great too. Service quick and good.

Had a classic pub dinner at this place in the middle of St Davids. I had Welsh pork sausages, with veggies, and excellent mashed potatoes.

Food was absolutely delicious but waitresses need to be more polite and smile now and again , no tips for the grumpy ones .

Very accomedited, cozy,very good service and food is delicious

cozy, quiet and spacious pub with good food!

You think the pub is only small, to find plenty of seating and outside area

Great pub with the best food and great service. The lasagne is super delicious!

Good pub style food and beer kept well. Beer garden is lovely on a sunny evening.

A really great Welsh pub with good food and fine beers. The service was a bit overwhelmed given the number of people.

Food was really good will visit again 😋

Nice place to drink excellent sea bass & fish pie

Tijdens een bezoek aan St Davids zijn er mogelijkheden genoeg voor een hapje en een drankje maar ik kwam terecht bij The Bishops. Leuke bar restaurant waar je prima kunt eten en drinken. Aan de tuinkant zijn wel veel trappen maar je kunt natuurlijk ook de hoofdingang nemen.

Nice pub in St Davids. There are many stairs at the garden cupboard. Coronation Chicken sandwich and cider tasted great.

Been here three times over the last few years including on a recent visit to St David's. Food and service were terrific and I would strongly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

It's a really good pub with good beer and food. Friendly staff and comfortable Best to book as it gets busy at peak times.

booked this pub for an evening meal and was disappointed, food was below average, no atmosphere, staff were unfriendly... would not go back or recommend

Nice wee bar and gastropub . Typical table number order at the bar type place , and can get very busy but seems to have enough tables to cope . Good location and decent scran . No complaints at all

We walked from Solva to St David's on a Sunday and were really thirsty when we arrived. The pub is in the centre of town and was serving lots of Sunday lunches. We just had a drink but were impressed how quickly the service was and how well staffed it was. Comfy seating, a great atmosphere and we were made to feel welcome and the staff thanked us when we left. Impressive. Thank you.

Lovely pub lunch and reasonable prices. Good service and very friendly staff . Will be returning again.

Very nice pub. Stunning garden at the rear. Dog friendly. Went as a group for dinner which was super tasty. Very busy when we went in so a slight wait but that gave us time to sample the great beers on offer. Staff seemed a little rushed but were friendly and polite.

Nice coffee with a view of the cathedral. It was very tasty 😋, the staff was nice and dogs friendly too.

We were lucky to get a table on Wednesday evening, it was rammed. Lovely meal, staff very pleasant, deserts a bit pricey though.

Dog friendly section. Food smelt really good, although did not sample. Food selection of real ale, cider, larger. Nice garden.

Solid food with a view of the cathedral tower. Had a Mexican burger that was solid but without wow. Interesting beer selection.

We visited on a busy Bank Holiday weekend for a midday meal. There was plenty of seating outside where dogs are very welcome. I chose dressed crab which was super fresh and tasty, whilst my companion's sea bream was perfectly cooked. Fir drinks we had a pleasant ale. We saw a nice selection of coffee and cake being served on other tables. The atmosphere was welcoming and service timely in spite of being busy.

Fabulous food, Ideal location for exploring St David's. Beware of souveneirs at 'tourist' prices.

It's worth booking a table if thinking of going as gets very busy.

We had a lovely lunch here today. The first time we visited, the bishops definitely had a great place to revisit.

Just a refreshment stop for us. Great selection of ales and largers. Dog friendly section and garden. No food for us but it smelt amazing and menu looks good.

From the reviews etc, we were led to believe that The Bishops is dog friendly. We were very disappointed to arrive at the door to see a sign stating the opposite. We didn't have the opportunity to appreciate the highly rated food.

A lovely pub at the centre of St Davids! Good quality pub food which is lacking in most places. Whether you come for a drink or food it always felt welcoming. Great beer garden for the sunny weather and cosy inside. Gem of St Davids

Lovely pub, great food, very quiet when we visited. Friendly staff. I had chicken supreme, hubby had sausage and mash, excellent. We parked at St, David's cathedral and walked up the hill.

Came with a great recommendation but was only mediocre, menu was limited, we both had curries, they were both bland and didn’t contain much meat. I did enjoy my pint of IPA and would be back for more beer but not the food!

Fantastic establishment, traditional home cooked meals with the option of eating indoors or outdoors weather dependent with great views from outside! Cosy feel inside. Service was perfect! Highly recommended, will definitely return!

Stopped in after a long drive down to visit family for a few cool beers and a bite to eat. Drinks fine but was miffed with being handed a card payment machine that suggested in mutiples you pay a tip? For serving drinks - really? Ordered a meal - one curry and for myself one Tradional Welsh Rarebit - I fancied a light tangy cheese on toast even thoiugh it was £14. I was presented with two slices of floppy bread covered in totally tasteless runny brie type 'cheese'. I sent the order back to hear 'I will pass on your comments'. No 'how can we recover this', nothing but poor service from a pub that seems to live from its location and tourists income with zero cunstomer care. Would I eat here again - NO.
