The Brook Inn in Pembrokeshire

Basic pub no frille.Decent lawned beer garden.Very friendly service. Pretty basic inside for sure. Friendly service

A lovely warm welcome! A great atmosphere. The village of St. Ishmael's seemed quiet and deserted ... it was because everyone was in the pub! We had the Friday nigh 'Curry and a Pint' for £12. Delicious pork curry. Highly recommended.

We had Sunday lunch here while on holiday, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. The pub is a lovely traditional pub with the nicest staff, great jukebox tunes (‘Leaving on a jet plane’, ‘Rose Garden’), and an absolutely brilliant Sunday lunch. Super generous portions, all delicious. There’s no menu as such (beef, turkey, or both, plus a veggie option), tonnes of veg, two sorts of potatoes, Yorkshire pudding & gravy - all for just for £12.50! Definitely book so as not to miss out on having Sunday lunch at this brilliant place.

The Brook Inn is owned by the nicest people ever! It is so friendly and wonderful place. Please please go here if you get the chance!

Lovely pub with great landlord. Unfortunately we didn't eat here as we popped in after dinner but having looked at the menu and the reviews, it would had been a good idea. We had only couple of drinks by the fire. When we are on holiday here next time, we will try their dishes.

Fantastic Sunday lunch Roast Pork and Beef. Including t veg and 2 sets potatoes Highly recommended. Will also do takeaway Sunday lunch

Excellent home cooked Sunday dinner, with a choice of meats, and choice of home cooked puddings all reasonably priced. We'll worth a visit, bookings preferable.

Excellent local pub, fab Sunday lunch but you need to book as it gets busy. Phil the landlord and his staff go above and beyond to look after you.

Although the menu is small, everything was freshly cooked and we had a lovely lunch there yesterday. We can recommend the scampi and the ham, egg and chips and the jam sponge pudding with custard. Ample portions and excellentservice

The best Sunday dinner we have had in a long time. Everything home cooked , generous portions., and reasonably priced. Highly recommend a visit. Advisable to book.

Visited a few times during our stay in the village, what can I say great pub, great hosts and a great bunch of locals too. Made us feel part of the village from the moment we walked in, great work keep it up. Till next time.

Very friendly, good value pub. Well worth a detour. We had a drink and lunch in the garden. You should ask the landlord about his story about an injured calf! (He's also a local farmer)

We visited the Brook Inn several whilst staying in St Ishmael's. You had such a warm friendly welcome every time. The food and service are great, highly recommend the chicken kebabs and the prices for food and drink are very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Under new management as of July 30th 2022. Real ale in bottles, fair range of lager/ cider/Guinness/ ipa on tap. Fantastic food van in the garden serving wraps, burgers, salad boxes. Loaded Waffles are amazing. A real nice local.

Me and my mate called in here mid hike from the Welsh Coastal path. The log burner was on, the beer was cold, even better at half time during the Wales V Ba Ba's match we were invited to have a bowl of homemade Cawl, bread and cheese. It was obvious we were not locals but nevertheless the barman made the effort to come over and ask us if we wanted any. We did and it was fab and was just what we needed. Thanks for the food, beer and welcome.

Friendly service, yummy food and only a short walk from Monk Haven Manor B&B. Family friendly and affordable.

Just called in to the brook inn after following the signs from the coastal path and was greeted with a very warm welcome by the landlady of the pub, the menu looked amazing and the hardest part was deciding what to have as it all looked amazing, in the end I went for the home made tomato soup which was to die for and for the main meal I had chicken tikka massala which I spotted on the specials board, which again was amazing and I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in the area, I would of loved a pudding but I had no room left after the great sized portions that was served and the price was very reasonable and the 2 pints of Guinness I had washed the food down lovely 5****

We were really encouraged by the reviews but maybe the good weather had brought in a larger than expected crowd because the service was really shoddy. The bar staff were over run and didn’t seem to know what was going on. The food when it eventually arrived was good pub grub - nothing special but tasty and good sized portions.

Went here a few times for good and drinks does what it says on the the tin. Perfect food and perfect pub would use again nicely run.

We chose to visit The Brook Inn, on the last night of our family holiday. This was after receiving a welcoming message from Sally, who was responding to a message I’d sent earlier, enquiring about their menu and a possible booking. We were not disappointed as we had a very good family night out in a small friendly country pub, eating tasty traditional pub classics and food off the specials board, with lovely service from Jude!

Been walking coastal path in Marloes and decided to find local pub. Followed signs for The Brook Inn. On arrival it looked inviting, beautiful big outside garden area. Interior of pub lovely. Locals welcoming too. Ordered a steak & Ale pie with mushy peas and ham, egg, chips with a side salad. My other half was well impressed with the pie and it came with gravy. Mine was lovely and a really nice dressed side salad. Staff really friendly. Would love a local like this Would definitely come again when down that neck of the woods.

What an absolute gem. Lovely village pub serving fantastic food. An extremely warm welcome and a great selection of drinks (especially ciders and ales). The gardens are gorgeous and the setting really is very picturesque and quaint. The food is top drawer. Really super family pub grub. Great quality and first class service from the whole family. Really loved our visit and will definitely go back.

Excellent pub hidden away in near Milford Haven. Friendly and close to coast path walks. Reasonable prices and good food. Nice garden in heart of village.

Friendly and cheerful. A couple of good cask ales. Food variable: wife and I both loved the home-made curries; not so much the battered fish, which was not such good value.

Stopped by here yesterday during a walk. Sally behind the bar was so lovely and friendly. Good choice of beers on tap! Ended up coming again that night.

We visited The Brook Inn for four evenings when staying at Monk Haven Manor. The food was delicious on all occasions. Wine and beer also good.

Fish and chips for two. Great portions, super service and jovial local atmosphere. Well worth dropping in to.

Family of 4 had a lovely dinner in the beer garden. Harriet & Jude provided great service. Good quality food, large portions, good value for money.

Staying in a local bb so the pub was perfect a 10 min walk. Friendly atmosphere and lovely pub grub. Will be returning to this area again next year so will definitely be back.

Three of came upon this delightful unpretentious pub whilst walking the coast. Had drinks, tea and ice creams, all served with a smile and quick efficiency in the large garden by Sally the owner. V Impressed with the polite welcome we got from both young owners, Jonny being on duty in the bar. We didn’t stay long but had the feel that Jonny and Sally had worked really hard over the last few years to make it a real community venue for their pretty Village, as well as welcoming tourists. I’d certainly be interested in returning another time for the evening food and entertainments offered! Lis, MA & B (Devon & Sheffield)

Working locally for a few days I popped into the Brook Inn for a meal and drink. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. I had a really nice meal which was cooked and served by a young lady called Sydney.

A nice pub with good food and drink. Friendly staff and good service. Open 7 days a week. Would recommend a visit.

We enjoyed a tasty evening meal at the Brook Inn on the evening before starting our coastal path walk. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Just popped in for lunch today. My wife had the gorgeous 3 bean chilli with a jacket potato and crunchy side salad. I had the gardeners pie with chips and peas with a nice tangy tomato sauce. Very pleasant. The ipa and cafetière of strong coffee were just great all for £27.

Went there on our first night of a 3 night stay and ended up going for the 3 nights, it was so nice...good food, good choice, friendly bar staff and waitress...nice ambience in this little pub.

We stumbled across this pub after spending a very cold, wet and windy morning at the beach collecting sea shells with our boys and thank goodness we did find this place. The pub is lovely and cosy inside and we were immediately welcomed by Sally. She gave lots of attention to our boys aged 2 & 4 which they really enjoyed. We ordered 1 children’s meal of sausage & chips and 2 steak pies. Sally kindly split the children’s meal into 2 and both boys had generous portions. The pies were delicious, the best we’ve had in a pub for ages! Sally was very attentive throughout our visit and even helped by telling us where the best place would be to go crabbing and provided us with a tide timetable which was most helpful. The locals in the pub were also very friendly and chatty. I would recommend this pub and would definitely visit again.

Wonderful local ales and dog friendly garden. Very welcoming pub, great for relaxing after a long coastal walk. Just perfect :-)

On a week's holiday based in St Brides we had good snack lunch here, at a table in the very pleasant garden. Good, friendly service and nice ales to go with the lunch. A useful break for anyone walking the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.

Excellent pub style food served by very helpful staff. The pies are great. Full menu has plenty of options.

Stopped there one evening while walking the coast path, very friendly reception and locals, the real ale was great but can't comment on food as did not eat there. A welcome break!

A short drive from Monk Haven Manor where we stayed, this is the typical country local pub, great atmosphere with very good "Pub Grub". Vey friendly landlords and staff , a good way to relax and dine informally.

I visited your pub today when the menu came I asked if the chips were home made and was told no frozen. At this point I thought ok but when the fish and chips came the fish was also frozen. Not what you would expect for a pub so close to the sea. The pie was also from the freezer. Nice clean pub but the food let it down. We will not be retuning.

Everything a good small country pub should be - very clean, tidy, unpretentious and with well kept drinks, a sensible menu and a warm welcome from people who are obviously enjoying what they are doing. The Brook platter with ham and cheese was generously proportioned and beautifully presented. First visit for many years but hopefully won't be the last.

We are 4 walkers who spent the day walking the coast path so we’re tired and hungry. We ate at the Brook and the food was lovely, the specials were tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. Couldn’t of-asked for more except we wished we had room for pudding!

Worth a visit nice village pub with a friendly atmosphere good outdoor area for kids or dog walkers. Also do a nice ice cream

Out of season very quiet but very competent beer and food. A clean and modern pub but with some individual features. Staff very happy and talkative.

This is the only pub in St Ishmaels and is great for anytime including breakfast which is served from 10am. We have drank and eaten here and in our opinion very good.

Nice relaxed atmosphere, owners are in no hurry to get you out like some places, is food good prices reasonable, quiet spot not much parking available though at peak season.

While staying locally 4 of us popped in to this pub early on a Friday night. After a friendly welcome we sat down and looked at the menu. A good choice there including options for the vegetarians. All the meals were excellent, served quickly and well presented. My steak and Stilton pie was very tasty and my fellow diners said that the Steak and mushroom pie and pumpkin Tagine were also superb.

We came to this pub for lunch with our two large hounds and were pleased that it had a big garden with plenty of space between tables. We had the two curry specials which were really tasty and a good size. The beer was also very good. The pub is very friendly and the owners came out to chat to us and meet our dogs. We would definitely come back.

The Brook Inn was a great find to end an enjoyable day spent in this beautiful area near Pembroke.

It was a joy to find this pub, with a rustic feel - The Brook Inn - run by Sally & Jonny - in a peaceful, rural setting but close to the sea by a secret sandy cove.

We had a great lunch in this very welcoming pub sampling locally made pies and home made “pub grub”. Lovely and clean, nicely furnished with a pleasant garden.

We stayed in Tish for a week and visited the Brook Inn a few times, both with and without children in tow. Good quality real ale(s) albeit not a huge range. The local beer changed during the week that we were there but the replacement was equally good. Small bar area, bigger dining area. The locals in the bar were friendly.

This is the one of the friendliest and nicest pub we ever visited in UK. They have nice lawn where they have put tents and beer garden. Their food is very good and plentiful. Try for lasagne, Pies as well as fish and chips. Although they do not have all the big brands of lager but they do keep variety of local brewed ales most of common lagers.

Stopped here after walking coastal path. Great place to visit for tasty home cooked food in a very pleasant atmosphere. We were able to sit in beer garden with our dog. Food was promptly served, lovely and hot, and exceedingly delicious! Families clearly welcome and staff were friendly. Reasonably priced. Card payments accepted over £5 (not American Express though). Would certainly recommend and return! Thank you for a great visit.

I love the Brook Inn- beautiful location in the center of the village (yes, next to a little brook) with a nice lawn and beer tent. Kids played frisbee on the lawn while we waited for our food. They have a regularly rotating beer tap with lots of interesting brews. Also live music sometimes. Friendly efficient service and a nice family atmosphere- highly recommend.

I took my kids for a meal at the Brook after they had been sailing. Was l surprised that they both ordered ham, egg and chips? Sadly no...but the adults ordered Welsh beef curry and the local pie. Now that was the inspired choice. The beef curry was incredibly good, the pie voted ' excellent'. Also you can wash down you pie and curry with local beer s and gins. Definitely a recommendation.

A very friendly pub in a nice village. The food was very tasty and the portions were good. We had rabbit and bacon pies and they were very nice. We will definitely return.

Popped in on our travels.Beers, real ales too which were great , food was excellent value and cooked fresh with very friendly service.

Had many a drink here but never eaten and the food always looked really good so decided it was time to give it a go and as a group of 4 we were delighted. Scampi, cod and lasagne was all excellent and so reasonably priced with a couple of great desserts to finish. Highly recommended, just off the beaten track but worth the trip.

We had an evening meal at the Brook Inn. It was good pub grub but we did feel that the portion of scampi we had was a little on the small side. That said, the food was served quickly, tasted good and was not expensive.

What an absolute pleasure the Brook inn in St Ishmaels is. The food was good honest pub food. The service was great and the open air seating was great, especially as the sun was shinning! We will be revisiting the Brook again.

Great food, excellent and friendly service from all the staff !!! Will definitely be visiting again.

My husband and I visited the Brook Inn on a Monday evening in the middle of June. It is a pleasant comfortable hostelry with plenty of seating both inside and out. We were given a warm welcome and offered a good range of quality beer and cider at the bar. The food was excellent - we chose bacon and rabbit pie and beef curry from the specials board and both meals were tasty and substantial. We definitely recommend the Brook and hope to call again when we are next in the area.

We had dinner here on the last night of our stay in Pembrokeshire. I had Steak and Ale Pie and my husband had the Welsh Curry. Both were very tasty and the portions were a decent size. We had chocolate sponge for pudding and my only criticism would be that it was a bit over-cooked. The atmosphere was nice and friendly and the beer was good. We would definitely return!

Great local pub, great welcome great food great atmosphere nice outside place plenty of seating in beer garden nothing more to say than give it a visit you will not be disappointed

This is my local pub so have visited often for drinks and many meals. It is run by a lovely young couple Sally and Jonny. They are working hard to creat a very friendly and welcoming environment for both locals and visitors. I have tasted most things on their menu and it’s all good honest food, reasonably priced. Children and dogs are welcome and there is a large pub garden to accommodate them. With the coastal path and Monks Haven a 10 minute walk away it’s an ideal stop off for a drink or hearty meal.

My husband and I had dinner three nights in a row while staying at Monk Haven Manor in early May. After full days of sightseeing we didn't want to drive to dinner and we could walk easily from our B&B; to The Brook Inn. Jo, at Monk Haven Manor, was kind in giving us directions along a path to shorten the distance to the pub. We estimate that it is about half a mile from Monk Haven to The Brook Inn.

We spent a week in St Ishmaels. We visited this lovely pub on several occassions. We enjoyed excellent sandwiches one lunchtime and dinner on my birthday. On my birthday, lovely barmaid Jude gave us a round of drinks on the house. It's that kind of place. Friendly locals to have a chat with and the most warm and welcoming staff. Thanks to Sally for drawing us a little map of the village! So nice to go to such a genuine village pub. Sally, Jonny and Jude - you deserve every success. Thank you for your company. We will certainly return.

Lovely pub situated 10 minutes from Monk Haven Manor where we stayed for a week great beer and food at very reasonable prices. Lovely out in the beer garden just chilling. Only down side was one evening my wife had to take separate things off the menu, to ear, as she is gluten intolerant, because she couldn't have any of the main meals. Gluten free choice of main mm real would be an added bonus to this lovely, welcoming pub

We had a delicious supper here in this beautiful country setting. Being able to eat outside in their garden was definitely a treat!

Three of us ate here this evening and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Homemade steak pie - extremely good and filled with meat. Lasagne - very tasty indeed. Battered cod - lovely piece of fish with a crunchy, thin batter. All very reasonably price and served with a smile. Happy to provide a review for this welcoming village pub.

The Brook Inn is a welcoming pub that serves good pub grub. All four of us had the chicken curry and unanimously agreed that it was excellent. The spices had had time to infuse into the meat and would have been prepared earlier in the day (or made in advance then frozen and pulled from the freezer on demand). The secret of good Indian cuisine is allowing the flavor to develop. A curry often tastes better on the second day!! Most Indian restaurants simply add the curry sauce ti the meat before serving.

Lovely find after a long coastal walk. The atmosphere was really friendly and the couple behind the bar were very welcoming. It was a beautiful day so we spent the afternoon lazing outside. To top all this off we bumped into Neil, a friendly local, who generously offered us a lift to Dale. I definitely hope to be back here soon!

Great little pub offering pub food and we were made to feel very welcome by the locals. The food was fresh, plentiful and nicely cooked.

Flavor filled food and service with a smile is how I will remember this place. I walked in and the bar was surrounded with locals. As I had got there at 5:55 and the food service was going to start in 5 min, I got a beer and settled down. The place is cozy and it has enough seating on the inside. Since it was a gloomy cold day, everyone was inside. There were a couple of specials on the board and I tried the beef madras curry with rice and chips and it came with a side of naan and mango chutney. The curry had the right kind of flavor..not too spicy or mild. I was very happy to finally eat a curry that was flavored the way it should be...instead of a standard flavor that every curry has. There was a good quantity of rice. I was alone but ended up having dinner with a couple. They ordered the pies and were happy with it. The waitress was very nice and everything was done with a smile and excellent service. The place started to slowly fill up by 6:30 pm and I can see it being packed on a sunny day. They also have free wi-fi.

Its a great example what a village pub should be.Warm pub with a warm welcome. It serves great real beer with a smile for locals and visitors alike. Outside there is a big sunny sheltered beer garden with big wooden tables. Inside is a large woodburning stove. The food is exactly what it should be. tasty with generous portions and inexpensive enough to be able to afford that extra pint or two. We ate lunch here (good fish and chips) and came back again later in the week for an evening meal (welsh curry, yes really welsh with leeks!) ready for the weekly jam session. Great night out and everyone can join in with enthusiasm counting for as much as musical ability. Our thanks to the staff and many musical locals for the warm welcome.

The Brook Inn was a lovely find, lovely & clean ,friendly & welcoming with a range of good food available. Coffee was good, full range of beers ,wines & spirits available.

Family group of 10 of us aged 12 to 81 have visited a couple of times during our week long stay in the area. Friendly pub for a pint and a game of pool! Great beers - we liked the Stereophonics ale, Phonics and Brains American IPA in particular. Sure on a Summers day it would be lovely to sit out in the garden...hope to return to do this!

We visited the Brook last weekend and was very impressed with the food that was served, especially the lasagne which was the best I’ve ever tasted! The staff were very friendly and made our whole group feel welcome! The pub had a very homely feel...

A very wholesome meal, loved the menu and the pies and gravy we're wonderful. The food came quickly and was very filling.

We visited this pub for a light lunch whilst walking the Pembrokeshire coast path. Very friendly staff, good service.

Called in for an evening meal The pub is very clean if less than inviting. Although to be fair it seems that most pubs are like this in this area I must compliment the staff for the excellent food and also the quantity which is...

This place was the only place nearby. But would have been very happy even if I'd had to drive. It was local. Felt local. Very friendly. Good choice of food and drink. Made to feel very welcome by owners and locals. You won't be disappointed

I also found the food over priced and mediocre i'm afraid i couldn't recommend the Brook, The place is nice but very like a cafe inside with mismatched furniture.

This is the second time we have visited this place. The first time we thought it looked a bit rough so drove on to the griffin. After not being able to book our normal restaurants on Wednesday night we decided to give it a try. When we walked in we were face by a wall of people drinking at the bar. We couldn't move to be served. The man who served us looked harassed and didn't seem to know what table to put us on-we say down then he changed his mind. We were told we only had just over an hour before the table would need to be vacated. We were not told this at the time of booking so we were not happy about that. Our food was actually really nice and really warm. We bother had pie and chips and the gravy was really nice.The children's portions were quite small for the priceThe lady at the bar was very nice and helpful. The decor is a bit mismatch and the bulbs in the lights were really bright. They had plastic mismatched table clothes on each table which looked awful.The bar looked nicely decorated. There is very limited parking. Although the food was nice I doubt we will go back again.

We go to the Brooke quite often, as we live local. A great little village pub, they have the best lasagne, can't get enough of it!

Within easy walking distance from where we stayed this pub provided good, reasonably priced food and drink

We stopped off at the Brook inn for Lunch today as it had been recommended to us, what a little gem of a place this is. We ordered for lunch, the local sausages and chips with garden peas for me, I could have had mushy peas if I had wished,my wife had scampi and chips and both meals were delivered to our able well within the 20 min we allow from menu to table, the sausages were excellent and my wife reported that the scampi was delicious, the whole bill came to just over £22 which is good for lunch with drinks, The brook in is in St Ishmaels which is along the coast from Dale, but the trip is worth it, this is a great pub with good food and a good atmosphere, if you are anywhere near St Ishmaels pop in and try there food, you won't be disappointed.Would I go to this pub again, yes definitely

Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were staying holidaying nearby and walked here with the kids (5 &9) one evening. They played with some local kids in the outside area whilst we enjoyed a couple drinks then retired inside for a nice meal. Attentive service and good pub food.

Great quaint village pub. Very friendly and still used by many of the locals.Highly recommend if you want a taste of village life in Pembrokeshire.

I really liked this place. I am not usually a lover of basic pub grub and I would normally raise my eyebrows at plastic tablecloths. However, this pub drew us back for a second night, for several reasons. The quality of the food was above expectation and the atmosphere, generated by the very willing and helpful staff, was a treat. I have allergy issues and they were happy to modify the menu. My partner's fish and chips were excellent and our steak pies were really nice. Overall it was excellent value for money.The pub is in a pleasant village setting with a large garden. Nice people, nice place.

On holiday staying close by, read the reviews before going and we weren't disappointed, the food was delicious and lots of it, decided to go back again the next evening, we sat in the garden due to having a dog and one of the locals put some fresh water in a bowl for him, would definitely recommend if anyone passing though due to its location. Reasonable prices too :).

Lovely pub, walked from Monk Haven Manor B&B in approximately 10-15 mins. Lots of outside benches and events on some evenings. Menu has traditional pub food, I had ham, eggs & chips. Big portion, lovely food and great value for money. Also really helpful staff, particularly with allergy issues.
