Firstly the food took 40 minutes to arrive. Once it finally arrived the food was not great at all. Two of four roast potatoes were insipid and not at all crispy. There was only 4 roast between two people which is simply not enough especially as two were rubbish! This was brought to the attention of our server…she claimed they had no more and she could put the gravy covered one back into the oven! She was rude and unhelpful and dishonest because I watched more roast come out of the kitchen. All in all a bad experience and tourist or not we deserved far more for our money! The meat was reheated and overcooked…it didn’t taste good

We found space at The Cove for a last-minute Sunday roast and it was great. Since it was a walk-in we were accommodated in the lively bar area but the food was great as was the service. We also had dinner here the following day and the menu was really good. Their sausage and mash was perfect.

Had some good cocktails here but ladies loos were shabby and I was shocked at the state of the toilet seat which had various scuffs and marks and was in a very bad condition. The worst I have ever seen. So glad we were only having drinks as I couldn’t eat in a place which appeared to have so little regard for their customers.

Enjoyed a fabulous night out with my wife at the Cove. We enjoyed the seafood platter for two, £35. Clams mussels shrimp scallops and some fries more than enough for two people. Cocktails two for one 5pm to 7pm was and added bonus. We are blessed with some fabulous eateries in Tenby, this is definitely one of them.

Went on a trip to Tenby and saw The Cove on instagram. Booked but decided to just have cocktails for their 2-4-1 deal! When we went to order drinks they were blunt when they realised we weren’t eating. After one drink they asked us to leave after ignoring us and being cold upon arrival, even though we’d booked for an hour and a half. We all work in hospitality so know what it’s like but we ended up leaving, having spent our first evening in Tenby originally excited, turned slightly sour by cold service. They didn’t offer us outside or bar space so we felt like they just wanted us gone, even though the restaurant was fairly quiet with empty tables. The espresso martinis were lovely though!

Booked in advance as a treat for my friend's birthday. Despite having a table reserved, we were left stood at the door waiting to be seated for longer than necessary with a staff member walking past more than once with no acknowledgement. Was told in the end by another customer we'd be better off just coming in and finding a table ourselves because they'd leave us standing there for ages. In the end, friend went to the bar to ask if they could seat us. After some cafuffle we were placed at a table reserved for someone else in an area unoccupied by others at the time. Not a great first impression and left me on edge as it was a birthday treat for my friend. Food and drinks order taken by a nice pleasant lady, but some other serving staff were less enthusiastic, not rude but not particularly displaying great customer service. Food came quickly, looked good and tasted good. We both had steak and chips with peppercorn sauce (extra £4 each for that!) Left feeling our experience had got off to a rocky start but improved. That was until around midnight when we both started with awful stomach cramps that kept us up all night visiting the bathroom! Go somewhere else, I wish we had!

On a scale of 1 to 10, the food is probably a 3; it's edible but very cheaply and poorly made. Fish and chips were very dry, and the batter had no flavour; fish flesh was dry and cooked without any consideration or care. The beef burgers were overcooked and dry, slapped together by the chef, forgetting to add the sautéed onions; the meal took them almost half an hour to cook everything in a bar that was particularly empty. 16:10 on a Sunday afternoon on 26th August. Fries were fat soaked and practically tasteless. Only one waitress actually cared to help and check things while the other simply slumped against the bar as a wall flower with no regard for the customer's or her job. Overall, the food seems to be made from very cheap ingredients, poorly slapped together by amateur chefs who probably wished they were somewhere else, and barely edible. The kids thought the food tasted like a cheap school lunch. All that said, the drinks were refreshing, probably because they came from a bottle. I really suggest giving uour custom to any other restaurant in Tenby that respects you as a customer and makes even a modicum of effort.

This place was ok. Food wasn't anything to shout about it was just ok. Ordered Gammon after around 10 minutes a team member came to us and told us that they had just taken the Gammon out to cook it and it had " Gone Bad" I had to choose something else. The fact that they have food in storage that had gone bad did not fill me with confidence. Service was all over the place. There was a man at a table that arrived and ordered after us that had had his food and finished before we even got ours from the kitchen. I also overheard a family group on the table next to us had been waiting over an hour for their order. Seems so disorganised. Would I eat here again? I very much doubt it.

Visited this evening, and the venue was very busy with a bit of a queue, but we had already booked so we were quickly seated and our drinks order was taken and served promptly. We ordered our food, my wife had chicken, and I had steak . A little wait for the food but totally understandable with how busy the restaurant was , tbh it certainly wasn't too long . Our meals came, and my steak was cooked perfect , lovely onion rings and chips (my only issue would be about the pepper sauce , it was a bit thin and tasteless , didnt spoil my meal though .My wife's chicken with salad and mashed potatoe was very nice too. We had a voucher that our daughter had given us as a gift , no issues , sll very smooth and dealt with when paying the bill. All staff that had served us (again considering how busy the restaurant was )were attentive and helpful. Thank you, the cove , we will be returning .

Our table was not on time despite booking several weeks in advance. Our pre-booked group were sat separately and not as one party. The food was sub-par yet the price would lead you to believe otherwise. Overall a disappointing experience considering the other reviews and prolonged wait.

If Carlsberg Did Sunday Lunch!!!!!! The most incredible Sunday lunch I've had in some time. The whole chicken and beet on a platter with all the trimmings. The Chicken was something else. Make sure you order the player for 4 at £50 it's well worth it. Plus any left over they'll bag up for you. We still had 3/4 chicken left which is currently filling my holiday home with the most amazing smell. Also the staff were suuuuuperb. Tip of the hat to them as well. Make sure you stop here ladies and gents. Missing out if you don't.

We only wanted a couple of beers each. First round we were served quite quickly. Second round I waited for 7 minutes before my order was taken. At the point of being asked for payment the barman mentioned that our Moretti, Staroparmen and Juti would take 5 to 10 mins to pour because of the “backlog”. Not great service. The establishment have a sign saying “Cash is King” asking patrons to use cash instead of card. Not sure that’s the problem here! We left and went somewhere else. The place wasn’t busy, probably a quarter full.

A group of us came for food - genuinely can’t fault the staff, very attentive and accommodating. However the menu for vegetarians and vegans was really poor, and the entire menu was overpriced for the quality of the food. Really expensive meal when it really shouldn’t have been. The live music was also really loud and in your face when we’re trying to eat and speak.

Went here for our Daughter’s 21st Birthday meal having booked it in person a couple of days earlier. Upon arrival no reservation in the diary for us so great start. Luckily there was some tables available so was seated and given menus. Must admit i thought at the time there didn’t seem to be hardly any staff serving and those who were which seemed to be only 2 were doing both food and drinks. We ordered drinks which was about the only good thing as cocktails was 2 for 1. Ordered a starter to share and mains at the same time, starter ( nachos) was ok ish nothing more. Mains came eventually after having to ask if we had been forgotten about, around an hour after ordering. Daughter’s steak cooked wrong and had to go back, another members gammon was full of gristle so left. A couple of meals was just about acceptable but nothing special considering the price. I found myself on edge the whole time I was there and I’m not someone who likes to complain and kick off but was very close to exploding. Overall an unforgettable experience for the wrong reasons to remember our daughter’s birthday. Wouldn’t entertain the idea of ever going back if I come back down here again. I’m not just writing this review because it was terrible because I would have written one if it was good or average. Overall I personally would NOT recommend this place based on our experience.

Sadly our family meal today was very very disappointing. We had to pre order but still had to wait over 40 mins for the food to come out. Most of us had Sunday roast. With a random boiled new potato.. why? I sent my food back because the pork looked like it was cooked last week and reheated to a point of no return. The service was also sadly not great. We only got chance to order 1 drink and no water on the table. The veg all came out about 10 mins after mains and looked like it had been sat under hotplate for a very long time. We won't be returning and I do not reccomend. Worst roast I've had in a long time. What makes it worse is that we were on a family holiday. You book a table to take the stress our of cooking and then you are just disappointed.

I found this very disappointing as the food was an age in coming even though it didn't appear to be that busy and when it came I was underwhelmed to say the least at the standard of food as everything was clearly straight out of a frozen packet. My steak and ale pie barely had any steak in it!! I honestly feel we would have had better food in a chip shop and for a fraction of the price 🤷

What a disapointing end to a lovely holiday. Booked a table at the Cove in Tenby for their Thursday night offer of 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £40. However even though it was advertised inside on their special boatd, in their window and on their website we were informed we could not have this offer as it was only during term time. We placed an order anyway. The next thing we know is the manager coming out of the kitchen ranting that he didnt know why we questioned the offer. I have never been spoken to so abruptly. He kept on ranting read the terms and conditions i dont give a s*** . Which you can not find anywhere. The next thing we knew he stormed back into the kitchen and shouted cancel their order. After this bad experience we went to the Hope and Anchor which was a lovely experience with great food and hospitality. Anybody in Tenby please do not waste your time or money at the Cove!!

We've visited The Cove on many occasions over the years but over the last few visits we've found the service terrible. Whist we appreciate they are busy, the attitude of some of the staff is appalling. We were told rather sharply when ordering cocktails they were NOT 2 4 1... even though the board outside was advertising it. They do some amazing cocktails it just needs to be a bit more 'service with a smile' rather than 'service with a grunt'.

Fantastic restaurant/bar with delicious food at a reasonable price. We had lunch here as a family of five with three children aged 10-13 years, plus our large breed dog. We were served quickly by friendly staff and throughout enjoyed our meal. Plenty of options for drinks and meals with a separate kids menu. Lots of space for our dog to lie down on the floor without causing an issue for other customers. We thought the bill was very reasonable and would highly recommend to other families.

Average. We were sat in a booth opposite the bar which was comfortable but unfortunately we were opposite the entrance to the bar and the ranch doors kept staying open affording us a great view of the bins! In addition we also had a great view of the hatch into the cellar which when open - which was frequently- was filthy. I appreciate that this is a service area but not really what you want to be looking at. Our food was mixed - a lasagne which was good, an excellent steak burger, a very average vegetable curry with extra prawns and nachos with extra chilli. After about 15 mins I was told that there was no guacamole for the nachos, was that alright or did I want to change my order. I asked if the nachos were done and they were. I decided to stick with the nachos as I didn’t want to be eating my meal on my own or have my friends wait for theirs. My friend joked that Tescos was just around the corner and the next thing was the waitress going to the till for petty cash and going out to fetch my guacamole so we all had to wait for her return. As a result my nachos obviously sat under the pass - the cheese set and the edges were cold. It was a large portion so I did manage to find enough tasty, hot bits to eat though the cheese topping wasn’t very appetising. All in all not a very satisfactory experience. We returned the next night at 4.40pm to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer on the cocktails. They were tasty and good value. We thought we were lucky to find the sofa in the window empty and then we saw how filthy and stained the armchair on the other side of the table was. Really it should not have been being used or should have at least been covered by a throw. It’s a real shame.

Swept in here during storm Isha for Sunday lunch. We opted for the platters for 2 and weren’t disappointed. Slices of pork, beef and Turkey, roast potatoes, parsnips and carrots. On the side were creamed leeks, swede, red cabbage and peas, all served with extra gravy. All this for £28 per couple. We had dessert too, light and creamy Eaton Mess and a richer chocolate and raspberry torte. Friendly, efficient staff added to an overall great experience.

Just returned from this restaurant/bar. It appears to be a great place for drinks but sadly the food lets it down. The lunch menu here is EXPENSIVE and I ordered a prawn Marie Rose sandwich at £ 10.50 .It arrived on sliced white sandwich bread, with bland tasting prawns drenched in a nasty tasting vinaigrette. This unappetising dressing was also accompanying the salad. I could also taste a cheap margarine on the bread which didn’t help!The coleslaw was also watery and vinegary. Disappointing!!

After fancying a Sunday lunch and googling best places in Tenby, we came across this place.The pics looked good and liked the fact if not all of us wanted Sunday lunch there was other options! Booked and upon arrival seated promptly drink orders taken took around 10 minutes to arrive ordered food A sharing beef&turkey platter for 2 ,ribs, pie of the day and Mac and cheese with chorizo,took around 30 minutes Pie bland and for £15:50 a small portion,ribs nice but came with cold fries,the Mac was terrible and dry.But the platter which I had such high hopes for was rubbish.the Turkey was a bland and cold processed joint and beef not great ,though when 2 eating id expect with 2 or 4 slices but we had 3! A tiny veg dish which was around a tablespoon each of mashed swede,peas and red cabbage and a bowl of watery creamed leeks.to say we were disappointed was a understatement,I’d definitely not return sadly

Our food was tasteless and served lukewarm, not good value for money either. We shared the calamari starter - four pieces of calamari for £8, it had no flavour. It was accompanied by "aioli" - generic, bought mayonnaise with no discernible garlic content. Mains - I had sea bass, small portion, bottled "thermidor" sauce, undercooked potatoes. Accompanied by the most tasteless prawns I have ever had. My other half had the swordfish which was tender and meaty but again lacking flavour. No-one asked how our meal was at any point. A shared starter, plus a drink and a main course each was over £60. We certainly will not return. There was no heart to the operation, and no indication that anyone cared about the quality or the experience customers had.

The staff seemed a bit lazy and aloof. They were nice though. We sat near the kitchen and the door to it was open. The chefs were blaring out music which clashed with the music that was playing out front. I ordered the chef's special which was tagliatelle with sliced rump steak. The pasta was bland and the steak was very undercooked as well as bland. I asked them to cook it a bit more and it was better, but it was still quite tasteless. I would not recommend.

It was a very busy Sunday afternoon but the young lady arranged for a table for five, including a two year old and we were made to feel very welcome. Four of us had the Sunday lunch, (beef) and every meal was a delight to eat. The food was hot, tasty and very well presented, the veg was perfectly cooked too. The serving and bar staff were all very pleasant and we had a lovely dining experience, thank you!

Arrived at 12.23pm for my booking... seated for 20 mins still no offer of drinks so I went and got my own drinks. Food then took 50 mins to arrive to which it was luke warm but very tasty. Dust everywhere all over artifical flowers and a dusty bike right above table. Floor felt like it had been moped with grease very slippery. Dogs sitting on chairs. Very cold had a fire but was for show. Overall poor experience as a waitress myself I really think you need to re evaluate your staff!!!!! Worst experience I've had in tenby

We have visited The Cove several times over the last few years we enjoy the setting and the selection of food and drink. We travelled to Tenby in August for a one night stay and went to The Cove which we now regret and can echo other reviews regarding service. We waited an excessive amount of time for two burger meals well in excess of an hour. We did not have any appetisers. It was a Thursday night and it was obvious the restaurant or kitchen were and have been experiencing staffing vs demand issues. It is not a large restaurant but there seems to be an issue with the amount of covers they attempt to handle. On future visits to Tenby we will have to give The Cove a miss.

Took a while to be seated but then were attentive. They appeared to be short staffed. Food served promptly. Large portions & well presented. Nice atmosphere & dog friendly too

We recently visited the Cove. I have to say the fish that I ordered was possibly one of the nicest and fresh pieces of fish I have ever eaten. Also both my missus and children enjoyed their food. The overall service was fantastic. I highly recommend the Cove for a nice meal.

A relaxed restaurant with a great menu, good choice of drinks too. But advised to book in advance to garentuee a seat. Live music and dj in the evenings and food was very good

We turned up without having booked a table whilst on holiday in Tenby last week. It was about 5pm. We were seated and order was promptly taken. Our food was very tasty and hot - exactly how I like it. Five minutes before our meals came out, however, the lights were dimmed to the point we couldn’t see our food very well. I do like to see my food when I’m eating it to check if it’s cooked thoroughly etc so my recommendation would be to maybe wait until later to dim the lights. I would definitely return as we enjoyed our meals so much. Just don’t dim the lights too early!

Nice atmosphere if you want music & lively bar. Service was ok, food was extremely average to disappointing, steak wasn’t great def not worth money. Key lime pie was watery & bland tasted frozen bought. I’m told the Eton mess not much better. Probably nicer places to eat for what you pay. Won’t be returning.

Visited tenby for a day on the beach. This is my second time at The Cove and they offer very nice food at reasonable prices. Kids menu is great for young ones and there is a very good vibe. Would recommend to anyone visiting.

Went to walk in holding my little dog in my arms to see if I could be served. I saw the “no dogs sign”, but just wanted to ask as there was nowhere to tie him up outside and I was on my own and hungry. Next minute the member of staff member behind the counter, shouted at me telling me to “get out”, causing all patrons in there to stop and stare. I asked if they could take my order and that he was calm and wouldn’t cause a fuss and again I was shouted at to get out. Awful service.

Called in for a drink before eating elsewhere. Lovely pub with a decent choice of beers. Quite a few in and a crowd eating so it's popular
