The Farmers Arms in Pembrokeshire

Great cosy dog friendly pub with quick service for food as well as quick service at bar with outside area for warmer days.

The best "Proper Pub" in St David's. Good ale and a great atmosphere. No food when we went as the kitchen is closed for the winter.

Welcoming local pub with food and a good vibe.

Just had a pint in the beer garden. Lovely view of the cathedral and nice choice of beers

We have had a wonderful week in St David’s. We have been going for a drink around 3:00pm, however, on Friday 4/10/24 we went in around 2:15, ordered drinks, 10 minutes later there was a reserved sign put on our table. I joked that it was a reserved for locals from 3:30, well it was. We were still there at 4:00 and nobody appeared. The rest of the week we were made very welcome. The young man behind the bar that day wasn’t as pleasant as the previous barman that we had. I hope his local customers eventually appeared. We could have left after the sign was put on table but decided to stay. If we had left the tills would have been down. I always thought public houses were for everyone ☹️

Stopped by for a pint. Welcoming bar staff. Good beer. Great fire on a wet, cold March evening Still a great pub to visit

We went to have a dinner tonight I ordered burger asked if the meat is good quality and low fat I got a burger higher in fat processed meat tasted awful I won't give to my dog

Greas Pub to visit go6food and beer

Went for evening meal The prawn cocktail was the worst we have had anywhere. Very few prawns, had to search the bowl of lettuce to find them and a small amount of sauce which was separate. Very poor indeed. Scampi was nice. Ice cream very was a small portion. Duck bonbons were nice. Welsh lasagne was ok but nothing special.

Lovely pub, food was so good ate here 3 nights in a row. Friendly staff too

Traditional pub good food good beer good service

Nice lil place food ok nothing sp special

Nice old pub , only stopped for a pint . Lovely old stone pub with friendly bar staff . Dogs allowed .

Possibly the worst Sunday lunch I’ve ever had. The couple on the table next to us felt the same. Pleasant staff though, shame about the food!

Lovely pub friendly staff very good beer and food but unfortunately it was over run with dogs. I saw a dog with its paws on the table and another jumped up at the girl serving the food I had to manoeuvre around two dogs to go to the toilets the owners totally oblivious to any obstruction.

Called today wonderful fish &chips possibly the best i have had, and the staff are lovely. Highly reccomended

Didnt have any food but came here for a few pints and a game of pool. The atmosphere was really nice and everyone was kind and helped when my mate had some issues with the rules of pool. Overall a nice little place to stop in if you want a pleasant time

Stopped here for lunch, had sandwiches served with decent sized salad & crisps. Really tasty sandwiches, delivered quickly. Ale very good, staff friendly & pleasant. Nothing to dislike, would recommend

Great pub and good beer garden Food and atmosphere is great a locals pub with great charm

My family and I spent a pleasant evening and ate some delicious burgers!

Lovely little pub and restaurant. Dog friendly which helps, and the food was really good. I had the oxcheek burger, my wife had the lamb burger, both excellent. We both had apple crumble for dessert. TBH could have had one between us, it was huge, but delicious 😍

St David’s was packed with people and all the eateries in the central area were full. Just a short walk down Goat Street and we found this pub. It was a lovely sunny day so we sat in the pub garden, where there were a few seats available, some under cover. We ordered at the bar in the pub garden (no need to go back into the building) and each had a pint of the local Welsh bitter. We ordered from the specials board and the meat pasta dish and the seafood risotto were delicious. They were busy but we didn’t have to wait too long and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Walk out the back gate and down the slope and you’re at the gatehouse to the grounds of the cathedral.

Pub tradizionale che non accetta prenotazioni, sempre molto affollato. Si ordina al banco, si paga subito, e il servizio è abbastanza veloce. Ottima la zuppa di zucca, buono l'hamburger di agnello. Buona scelta di birra e vini. Simpatica la musica dal vivo e l'atmosfera in generale, genuina. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.

We will certainly be going back here for a drink. Brilliant little pub. Haven't tried the food yet but we will. Great to meet the locals too.

Traditional pub with good food and drinks. Mussels and Burger were very good.

Very nice pub, central in the middle. Very nice people behind the bar and good food. Dog friendly.

I've been coming to St Davids for over 10 years now and The Farmers Arms is our favourite place to eat! Food&Beer is great. There's a lovely atmosphere in the pub. However last night whilst my husband was waiting at the bar he couldn't help but overhear the hostility of the two girls behind the bar towards 5 lads (local I assume). He watched as they walked in only to be ignored by the staff. There was sniggers from behind the bar that they'd not get served but eventually one did come and take their order. Another member of staff came over and interrogated the lads about a previous visit to the pub and told them they would not be served after their first drink. Overhearing their conversation the lads were baffled as staff couldn't not give them a reason for this. This unwelcoming behaviour has put me and my husband off from returning the The Farmers Arms, in future visit to Pemborkeshire. The bar staff were rude and very unprofessional towards them. Are locals not welcome during the peak tourist months??

8/10 overall 15 quid but was worth it in the end👍 (read the pics for more)

Asked for a tip on the card machine after spending 15 seconds pouring beer. Bad enough to do it for food but ridiculous when serving one pint to one person.

The burger was a bit small and not as tasty as I would have liked. The restaurant looks nice from the street side, but the terrace also looks nice inside and needs to be renovated.

We visited the Farmer’s Arms for our evening meal whilst staying nearby. It was busy but we were served quickly by friendly staff and our food came out promptly. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed and contained a mix of locals and tourists. We had the ox cheek burger, Welsh burger, plant burger and bacon and cheese dirty fries (generous portion which needed to be shared to be finished). Everyone was really pleased with the portion size and flavour of their meal choice. No photos as we tucked in immediately and forgot. We would certainly return and would recommend others to visit if they are ever in the area!

Lovely pub. Ale prices not too bad. Food not great and were served by a proper miserable barmaid. No customer service skills

Love this place, many good times and happy memories.

Authentic feeling, non gentrified boozer. Busy and nice atmosphere.

We sat outside and had a nice meal. Food and atmosphere were great!

Great traditional pub with a good menu. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was great with varied customers both young and old.

Great atmosphere on a Friday evening in a very busy pub.

First time here,I had a very nice Chicken Roast Sunday dinner, the meal was quick, great atmosphere

Nice pub in a lovely little city. Very busy and full of life. Defo a section for locals one end which is great. The garden at the rear is lovely. Food was good old fashioned pub grub. No complaints here. Friendly and would come again

Having walked from St Non’s up to St David’s stopped here and had lunch outside in their sun trap of a beer garden. Great location around the corner from the cathedral. Food was absolutely delicious and really fresh with generous portions. I can recommend the fishcake on the specials board.

Very busy, classic pub in St Davids. I had fish and chips, which was quite good. This seems to be the place that collects the town's characters.

very disappointed with the food here. Burnt to a cinder whitebait/ overcooked fish and chips and lacklustre roast. Overall very poor

Decent real ale Please look at the glasses in a good light for cleanliness before pouring Feta and watermelon salad was basic aside from olive oil on salad leaves and could have been enhanced by adding even a few tomatoes and other elements The steak and kidney pie lacked any discernible kidney flavour The mashed potato tasted like for mash get smash It's really a place to get smashed

Fish over cooked, lovely atmosphere

Great Mezze All the staff and management are doing a brilliant job for this pub

What a find. Proper old pub, with wonderful food. The chef really knew how to cook monkfish. Loved it.

Good selection of ales and beers. Great menu and generous portions. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. There's plenty of outside space for the warmer days and along with most pubs in the area welcome well behaved dogs.

Booked the restaurant for evening dinner.. Was given a tiny table for 4 of us and asked to be moved as not possible to be comfortable there.. Nobody approached our table with menus so we had to find them, no specials available. Food was below average, had the scampi and chips, the chips were obviously oven chips from local supermarket and had no taste, the scampi was overcooked and miniscule. The pub had no atmosphere and we left as soon as we had eaten and paid. would not recommend or go back there. The menu was the same as all the other pubs, nothing really Welsh about it sadly.

Lovely Sunday lunch,came last minute as the Grove Hotel decided after my booking that they weren't doing Sunday lunch. Excellent meal, will come again

Nice place, decent dishes and prices, ordering is done at the bar. I liked the interior decoration.

We were hoping for a good home cooked pub meal made from some of the lovely local price here in Pembrokeshire- that's not what you get at the Farmers Arms!! Try frozen pie from somewhere like Bookers that hasn't even been cooked properly - all very disappointing!

Great little local pub worth a visit while in St David's.

Only stopped for a beer. First time in there in 45 years!

Nice beer garden a definite sun trap, cosy inside, a good selection of beers. The fish finger sandwich is a meal in its self

We wanted this to be a good experience but unfortunately there was an event happening and the place was packed. We were looking for a light meal and were disappointed with both the duck balls and soup of the day. Sadly, the worst meal of our 42 day visit to the UK.

Popped in for some food and a drink after a day of walking. We had a top time here and managed to get us all in.

A local pub with regulars, a pool table and TVs for watching sport. Brilliant chap behind the bar - he's got a great laugh. Good selection of drinks as you'd expect - Double Dragons is Welsh and an excellent session bitter on par with Greene King IPA or TT's Landlord. We didn't eat here, but the menu is very similar to The Bishop's so maybe they're owned/run by the same people. Nice outdoor space for when the sun shines. Everything clean and well maintained. Definitely a good place to stop for a drink and the food offering looked good, just check when the kitchen is in action as it may not be an all day affair.

It's a very nice place to have a meal. The portions are large, and the food is delicious. Our little dog was more than welcome, and he thoroughly enjoyed some bits of sausage my mum couldn't finish. The staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Just had a lovely meal here. Chicken and mushroom Pie was beautiful. Wife said sausages and mash was excellent too.

Nice pub serving good home cooked food

Classic pub populated by locals and tourists alike

Good food..Good beer and warm on a very wet night

Fantastic pub, brilliant staff & fabulous food.

Great traditional pub in St David's just a stones throw from the cathedral. Does great food and has a lovely spacious beer garden to the rear of the pub overlooking the cathedral grounds. Great place to come and eat or just have a relaxing pint.

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere. Bar service a little slow. It was busy, not many servers on and locals appeared to be getting preferential service, which is understandable, but nonetheless a little frustrating standing at a bar with no server for 5 minutes.

The Farmers has managed to get the perfect blend of tourists and locals mix. Great atmosphere

Great staff average pub grub nicely decorated. Almost empty when we visited

Good drink prices. Busy evening and they don't take table bookings so I ate elsewhere.

Great service. Great pub. Good fire. Good locals

The beer & food are great but importantly the staff are helpful,friendly & even though it's been very busy they're still smiling. Such a feel good atmosphere. Fortunately we're local so can pop in whenever.😉😃 Check out the Specials board. Recommend sea bass. Not listed below but personally i would recommend the pork belly & a fab. flat white coffee. Enjoy

Apologies I was reviewing The Bishops sister pub to The Farmers. Equally as good. The Bishops is closest.🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Food really lovely recommend beer battered haddock.Great atmosphere. Really welcoming.

Amazing food the haddock was delicious staff very friendly went back the next day for food it's was amazing

Staff amazing, food amazing you'd be silly not to go in here, pool, darts and sport shown on the the TV. Great chilled atmosphere 😀

Lovely garden in the sun with no wind today. Perfect for drinking a small scrumpy and sunbathing. Inside there was a lovely wood fire.

Always the best beer! Service great.

We popped in for a cup of tea on a December afternoon. We found it a lovely little pub with a really good vibe.

Warm welcome, big open fire varied menu I went for the Angry burger 🍔 it was nice, but I'm not sure it was worth £15 have had better elsewhere. But overall very good.

Great pub friendly staff Haddock and chips gorgeous dog friendly and lovely pint of Welsh Cider definitely recommended

The staff were super friendly and Tom was very helpful with suggestions of local interests

Great little pub with super friendly staff, great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

A warm welcome on a cold wet day.

Lovely atmosphere, didn't eat so can't comment on food.

Popped in here for food one evening, everywhere was very busy but we were lucky to find a table in the bar. No booking, first come, first serve. Had the fish basket myself which was lovely, very filling with just the fish and salad. Unless you eat a lot, don't order chips if you don't like wasting food. Only thing we'd complain about was that the waffle we had for dessert was solid in the middle and we unfortunately couldn't finish it. Otherwise, lovely country pub with smiley staff. Would go again.

Proper proper pub, and a pleasure to re-cloth theory lovely pool table for the mew season

Popped in for a pint and was delighted to see a keg on the bar. Great beer!

Good food, nice beer, lovely staff.

Our favourite place in St Davids for a beer and pub food. Sit outside in the beer garden in the evening and watch, when the sun goes down, as thousands of crows descend on the cathederal to roost.

£19 for 3 pints?? LONDON PRICES I THE STIKES.

Firstly, Thankyou Jack and Mike for your warm welcome. My heart is always in my mouth when my husband orders steak 🥩 HOWEVER!!! No need to worry here. His 21 day aged steak from local butcher, Ken Davis was seasoned and cooked to perfection (rare in this case) with huge crispy onion rings, mega chips and beautifully presented side salad. I opted for a children’s portion of local sausages, mash, peas and gravy. All delicious. The, ‘Double Dragon’ ale was sampled and appreciated. The tables are swiftly cleaned between covers. There’s a lovely, cheerful atmosphere here due to the calm, efficient and warm way this pub is run. Thankyou all L&R

WK-finale helaas verloren, desalniettemin geweldige pubsfeer, gemoedelijk en gezellig

Endroit sympa Le service est correct assez rapide(il faut aller au bar pour commander à manger et à boire) Sinon niveau plat, c'était moyen : ce n'était pas bon ni mauvais = ça se mange

Great high end locally sourced pub food beautifully presented , staff were super helpful and professional. Didn't get a pic of my chicken burger and fries but it was fantastic, as we're all 17 other meals ordered. Service was fast and food was excellent. Plenty of variety for all pallets. Highly reccomended 🥰

After an amazing walk, the perfect stop for food and drink

Shabang! Perfect meal on superb location.

Lovely place to stop after a walk along the beach

Delicious food, huge portions and lovely staff. A nice cosy pub in St Davids. Will definitely be returning :)

Bang bang. Lovely welcome from Michael. Bing bong. sumptuous pint followed by some positively splendid fresh and tasty scran. Will be back for sure. Bosh.

Good drinkers pub, food OK, nothing earth shattering or local produce driven, but as a drinkers proper pub, it's got a great atmosphere . Good feeling in the beer garden and a pool table that's well used. Another good point is that the tables don't have reserved placards on to discourage people sitting there. Only downside is that I saw two of the food service staff harassing a couple to finish their meals so they could clear the tables so they could go home, I mean they literally stood over them saying "have you finished yet" which I felt this was totally out of order.

Extremely fast service, very nice food and good array of outdoor and indoor seating. Dog friendly and nearby the cathedral.
