The Bishops in Pembrokeshire

Been staying at St David’s for a week as new visitors to the area and had chosen The Bishop as our preferred venue to eat and drin. The food has always been amazing and staff were so friendly, happy and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit from Derbyshire soon we hope. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing visit 🥰🥂🍾

Staff were friendly and warm , nice pub and garden. Bustling and atmospheric vibe. My mussels were average, which was a shame. Potentially ordered wrong. Would return for a second go of food.

Lovely pub, dogs welcome, lots of space and a great beer garden

Went for tea and scones on the terrace. Wonderful position and efficient if disengaged staff but some of the worst scones ever tasted....insulting to to customers expecting an UK staple . Not cheap....taking us for a ride, so disappointed. Had to pay upfront otherwise would have contested bill, thankfully had not chosen to pay an upfront tip !! Please get your act together and not let west Wales down !

Lovely pub, friendly staff and good beer garden

Best mussels ever and beer is very authentic great experience

Lovely pub, great pint there too

Everything was great! To be more specific, the food was very tasty and filling. The burger was especially good — juicy and full of flavor. The second dish we tried was also excellent. Portions were generous, which was a nice bonus. Overall, the place has a really pleasant and cozy atmosphere. I enjoyed it a lot and would happily come back.

Nice large pub in the centre of St. Davids, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Only had a pint or two so can't say about the food.

Amazing vibes, went for dinner. Had plenty of vegetarian options.

Haven't had a chance to try the food as no one came to take our order for 30 min even when we've been told to sit down and wait for the waitress. I would not recommend this Restaurant unless you'd like to make your own drink, order your food and serve yourself.

Nice place to visit, we came back after my little Pug passed and this was one of the first pubs he came in :) My food was very expensive for what I had and it wasn't anything special but everyone else's was lovely and they really enjoyed it

Great atmosphere for 30th celebrations while visiting Pembrokeshire! Staff were so friendly! Especially Sarah, Hywel and Gino! Couldn’t do enough for us! Would definitely recommend for relaxed delicious food and family friendly atmosphere! X

Popped in for a drink whilst visiting St David's. The staff were very friendly. The pub had a nice atmosphere.

The Bishops in St David's is a real gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. The food was delicious, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was just lovely - very welcoming and comfortable. To top it all off, the scenery around St David's is beautiful, making it a truly nice place to be in. Highly recommended!

Very nice pub, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great beer garden and the food was exceptional! Best fish pie I have ever tasted and my husband said his steak was cook to perfection. Highly recommend.

Has a tasty sandwich at lunchtime and traditional Cawl in the evening. The food , pricing and atmosphere was great on each occasion. What was very good , best I have had in a busy restaurant , was the service. Lunchtime was very busy with indoors full and the beer garden 75% full. My wife went to the bar to order food. While she was gone a very polite young man came along and offered me instructions as to how I should order. I told him it was already being done but , before my wife had returned ( just a few minutes ) he had returned with the condiments and cutlery. Due to the number of people there we were expecting a wait of up to 30 minutes , which we didn't mind as we were sat in a sun trap. To our surprise the young man was back within 10 minutes with our sandwiches. Amazing , quick service. I enquired about reserving a table for the evening ( assuming it would be relatively quiet due to the time of year ) to which he replied that though it might not be full it would be advisable to book. The perfect answer by an employee, delivered with a smile - though I guess he knew a walk in would be Ok. That's what we did and the restaurant was half full but we didn't mind as we had the seat of our choice and a perfectly good meal. All in all a great place to eat with good food and exceptional service. Compliments to the young man.

I should have read the March reviews before visiting this place! Having to order food at the bar AND be invited to add a tip before dining is surely a thing of the past? For the price paid you don't expect frozen chips, gloopy mash, probably also frozen, Bisto gravy, and non descript veg. My wife's scampi was ok, my pork belly was actually very good. But with a bill for £48 including a beer (too cold, too fizzy for real ale) and a cider, you expect better service and everything freshly made. We felt let down. Having just arrived in St David's after a long journey we were looking forward to a good meal. A disappointing experience.

Great pint of Guinness , too many consumed 😊. Book in advance it gets busy ,pleasant staff. Ate here the first night and went back the second .We were running late and staff were more than happy to adjust the reservation 5.5 hour journey . Fish and chips were good . More mushy peas would have been great. Clean toilets .

Great pub, good food, great decor, great service and great atmosphere 👍🏼

Great pub in the centre of St. Davids Dog friendly and offering a varied menu. We chose the daily curry which was delicious, served with well cooked rice poppadom and mango chutney. Reasonably priced and arrived within about 15 minutes. Pub also offers a good selection of ales. Can't really fault it.

The café in the Cathedral at St David's well worth a visit bara brith gorgeous and a free bunch of daffodils too! (seasonal)

Never disappoints on food. Friendly staff. Atmospheric. Great location.

Local Welsh lamb steak - superb 👌🏻

Luke warm welsh rarebit. Cawl came without the cheese, asked member of staff for this snd still not brought. Not cheap to eat here and staff had a ‘no care’ attitude.

The welcome at the bar was good, but the food is over priced for what it is. I had Welsh rarebit, which you would think in wales would be good, but the cheese was tasteless and like cheese spread and the bread hadn’t been toasted. This cost £14.50. Very poor.

Ate here several times while in St Davids, good food, good value.

Lovely place. Went for birthday meal. Partners meal of haddock was fab. My meal of lamb steak was not so good. Meat was very chewy in parts & very difficult to cut with not very good steak knife, very disappointing at £26.00. Staff didn't ask if meal was ok considering I left a lot of chewy meat on my plate.

You can sum this place up in one word "traditional"! You get exactly what you expect when you walk in. Lovely old building with standard pub grub. Service was quick. Staff are pleasant. Food was good (without being spectacular). Four adults and two kids having main meal and a drink each was £100.

The staff are friendly and beer is top glass, cheese sandwich was pretty good too. Very tasty. So i had to go back again. Food and ales were excellent and the staff were so friendly too. Really great as a solo traveller to have a good conversation with the staff. The staff are a credit to the establishment especially Howell

Quite little pub in st davids pleasant atmosphere

Quiet due to time of year, warm, cosy and our little local for a drink during a mini break. Ate there the once, food was great, like every where, you notice meal prices have gone up, not their fault. Beers were served well and the table service was fast and efficient, nice place, booked Sunday lunch for our next visit in March.

Great food, reasonably priced and very quick service 😋

Lovely place with a kind staff and a lot of options of food. I went with the glamorgan sausages which were delicious! A lot of vegetarian options available, and the prices are al right.

Aw we loved this place so much. We stopped in with our dog after a big hike and had lunch. We had soups and a portion of chips and they give you big, BIG portions. The soups each had two massive slabs of bread on the side. It was also really warm and cosy and the staff were very charming and friendly. Definitely recommend stopping in here for your lunch if you are visiting St David's

Had a lovely meal but felt it was a little overpriced. Service was quick . There is a lack of parking nearby . Popular place ,it was busy on a Monday night in February ! Sea bass was fresh and delicious

Perfect-especially with the 2 for 1 January pricing. The place was packed!

Cracking pub! We absolutely love it! Good food and super friendly staff. The locals are great too! We will be back soon!

Lovely place for a lunch after a coastal walk to St. Davids.

Excellent food and service from friendly staff. Would go again.

Beautiful pub very friendly and the meals are excellent well worth visiting.

We had a reserve for a family of 6 , we were very squashed our table. The table ideally was meant for 4 people. Food good but we were constantly in the way of other people coming through so not the best experience.

Best pub we’ve visited in years! The atmosphere here is superb, extremely friendly, relaxed, warm and cosy. Staff incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Food was so delicious we ate here every evening of our stay in St David’s. To give this pub and all who work here less than a five star rating would be outrageous. Fab fab fab, love love love this place.

Food was very poor I had the veggie chilli which was tasteless, wife had fish and chips which was mostly batter, also to note the chips are not homemade they are frozen. For dessert we had bread and butter pudding, I was expecting a lovely homemade dessert however it was very small and clearly came from the freezer. As for prices it’s very overpriced and clearly to trap tourists put it this way dessert was £7.80. Don’t expect good service it’s flooded with inexperienced part time college staff.

Perfect cosy pub after our coastal walk on stDavids Head…. Drinks by the fire and delicious piping hot food in the bar. Ordered the steak and added prawns for the surf and turf with a peppercorn sauce. Expected a few scampi with the steak but got 3 massive king prawns which were delicious. One of the best surf and turfs I’ve ever had. The fish pie was packed with loads of fish and a huge prawn on top!! Really good food.🍤🥩

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

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

Delicious home made food, warm welcome, plenty of choice including specials of the day, quickly served. I would definitely recommend visiting.

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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.

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.

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 😉

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.

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.

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.

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.

Exelent food and cozy but could be a bit cheaper.

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.

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

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.

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
