The Farmers Arms Mathry in Pembrokeshire

Best pub meals we’ve had in a while! We went last night to celebrate my mums birthday. She had the steak, my husband had gammon and I had the most delicious prawn salad. Cath and Ava were absolutely lovely, nothing was too much, and they made my mums birthday treat a delight. Fabulous food, thank you so much

A warm welcome from new landlords Paul and Karen, lovely food and surroundings. We booked a table for a Friday evening meal, the food was delicious and the portions generous. We had creamy garlic mushrooms and pate to start, vegetable lasagne and chips and gammon and chips with all the trimmings. The pub is also dog friendly which is an added bonus.

Absolutely beautiful food, fabulous staff and service. Always obliging.

Very welcoming and friendly pub with great local atmosphere. Contrasts with some of the places in nearby St David’s that have become a bit “touristy”. Dog friendly. Had good traditional fish and chips. Good beer with tasting offered.

Great little find! Disparate for some lunch and they did not disappoint. Sausage and onion baguette was fab. Sad there wasn’t a garden as it was a beautiful day. And it was a bit empty. Overall fab!

Lovely locals pub, with amazing bar staff and servers, amazing food both during the week and weekends. Good choice of drinks, well kept beer, local Welsh stuff too. Dog friendly, good music. 50 seater restaurant. Love love love this pub, we will be back!!

Lovely wee pub! Delicious food and very friendly staff. Good atmosphere!! Thanks :)

The staff were inviting and gave a warm welcome . Good menu selection and the meals were of good quality made with real chips . The landlord and staff engaged with you which made our visit more enjoyable. Good selection of local Ales and Paul the landlord knows how to make an excellent Gin & Tonic . Will definitely go back .

Was here for food on a week night- admittedly during school holidays but it was fully booked. Food was well presented, generous portions, chips were clearly home made. A decent selection of beers/ ales/ ciders Service was really attentive I would eat here again

A proper old fashioned pub. Friendly staff and really nice food and very good value 🙂

A proper old style pub. Friendly staff and great food and a sensible not too fussy menue. Good value too. Visited a few times including a family meal. Would recommend.

Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, and huge portions. Would recommend the Cawl 10/10.

A warm welcome greeted us on a blustery Sunday at the Farmers Arms. Never ever have we experienced someone say we do a 1,2 or 3 course lunch, but just to warn you our lunch is massive! Not only is it massive it’s the best lunch we’ve ever had. Homemade and so very tasty. We couldn’t fit anything else in. Not only that the lady behind the bar was so helpful when we needed to source some extra wood for our open fire, she gave us the name of their wood supplier. Overall, a lovely place, fabulous Sunday lunch and most importantly dog friendly.

Really lovely homemade Welsh rarebit and nice sidesalad. Good beer. Welcoming.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Really large portion sizes. I had pork my wife had beef. Would definitely recommend. This is our local but we haven't had a Sunday lunch for many years here.

We had a fantastic lunch at The Farmers Arms in Mathry with the whole family—kids, grandparents, and even the dog! This family-run pub made us feel instantly at home with its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was superb; between us, we had the fish pie (the best we’ve ever had!), a chicken burger, curry, and beef burgers. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the value was excellent. The locals were lovely, and it was great to have a friendly chat with them. Being dog-friendly was a huge plus for us as well. This place is an absolute gem, tucked not far from St. David’s, and we can’t recommend it enough. Looking forward to our next visit!

We went for Sunday lunch today, and we were not disappointed! Firstly, the staff were fantastic and so accommodating! They provided alternative lunch meals for my young niece and nephew who don't like a roast, and they were so friendly and welcoming. The food was exceptional! Portion sizes were generous, it was well seasoned and just delicious! The desserts were also excellent! We will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Just had lunch at the Farmers Arms and the food was absolutely Stunning , Lauren behind the bar was great , and the Chef Cath is amazing . No hesitation in giving 5 stars. Highly recommend.

A dog friendly pub with great food and a lovely atmosphere. Went for Sunday lunch which we enjoyed so much we decided to return later in the week for an evening meal. My choice of fish pie (served with a wonderful salad) was both tasty and very artistically presented. This pub is a little gem and understandably seems very popular.

Lovely traditional pub. Great food and beers. Always a warm welcome.

Local pub, food good. Very dog friendly.

Good pub grub. The cawl was delicious

Really enjoyed the whole experience. Food was really good. The staff were friendly. A great, dog-friendly pub!

Great service and tasty food at this pub in Mathry. Will definitely return. Recommend booking as its a very popular spot.

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, and the fish pie was delish + visually appetising

Just stopped for lunch was fab and nice pint or real ale would recommend to anyone we will definitely come back friendly staff

The farmers arms Mathry Sunday lunch gluten and dairy free . Absolutely amazing . Thank you to chef Catherin Ellis Griffiths , Lauren and staff for a great lunch . I was able to have the pea and mint soup as a starter , the turkey roast with all gf/ df trimmings and the lemon n raspberry posett… couldn’t manage to eat that so I was given it as a take away . If you haven’t been you are missing out on great food and hospitality . Booking is required . ⭐️🙏🏼❤️🥰👍

Excellent Sunday roast. Compliments to the chef Catherine! 10 out of 10 I must say. Food was very tasty and well seasoned. Plenty of it too. The gravy was to die for. We cleared our plates, which I very rarely do. Highly recommend a visit here. See for yourself how good it is.

We arrived a bit late and hadn’t booked but thankfully we were able to get food here. Settled in with a pint of a special light ale and a lager, and ordered our meals. The steak and ale pie was lovely as was the special of pulled pork fries. A nice friendly environment, the dogs were made to feel welcome and they were made a fuss of as we left. Thank you!

Was so grateful that space was made so we could eat here. The food was great, Steak and Ale Pie and a special pulled pork chips. Both were really tasty. We were made to feel very welcome, and our 2 dogs were so quiet nobody noticed them until we left. Peach and Archie were made a fuss of. Super dog friendly! Thank you..

My wife and I booked a evening meal and ordered our food. Our experience was spoilt by three men having a heated discussion at the bar using swear words . I thought the barman should have had a quiet word with them. Only after we had left did we realize that we had been overcharged for our meals. We had one gammon steak with extra pineapple slice, One sirloin steak, One fried Halloumi starter and two medium rose wine. We were only given a card machine receipt which was for £76.00 exact . We did not have a till receipt. From what we remembered of the prices we were overcharged by over £20.00. Needless to say we will not be returning.

Superb meal. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent staff. Highly recommend.

Amazing Sunday dinner probably the best Sunday dinner I've had. Massive portion and the cauliflower cheese and red cabbage were to die for

Very friendly staff and lovely seating area on the village green with great views. Food very good - probably the best fish pie we've ever had" Also our two chaps had the home made chicken curry which was very large and full of tasty tender chicken. I would highly recommend- all served with a smile

Absolutely fantastic! We had 2 roast beef dinners and a roast pork dinner last Sunday. Couldn’t fault it. Full of flavour, perfectly cooked and presented. Veg was plentiful. Proper roast potatoes which makes a nice change. All the staff were polite, friendly and welcoming. The chef came out to ask the diners if everything was ok and took the time to have a quick chat with everyone which was nice. A really lovely pub and great food!

Great village pub with lovely food. Friendly staff, fab live music and great atmosphere. Visited whilst on holiday in Pembrokeshire

Shocking experience. Man behind the bar actually made me feel unwelcome and that's usually pretty difficult to do. If you're ever in the area this pub isn't worth a detour. The beer is poor, and the customer service even worse.

An authentic experience. The food was a disappointment.

Only called in for a drink whilst passing nice cosy place nice atmosphere and the people were very friendly would definitely call again

Lovely pub & friendly staff but the homemade chicken curry wasn’t curry - no curry flavour just chicken and tomatoes very watery very disappointing. Second visit for lunch was better with baguettes and lovely homemade chips.

I bought a lasagne for dinner for my holiday and a newborn cat could've cooked better 2 bites was enough won't be coming back!!!!

Lovely friendly pub. Fantastic food.

We visited the Farmers Arms last night. We received a friendly greeting by a man who assumed was the landlord. Chose a table and made ourselves comfortable. The pub was warm and welcoming with a well stocked bar. I had three perfectly poured pints of Guinness, which I managed to split the Go on the first pint. The landlord took our orders and a young waiter laid the table with cutlery and condiments. The food arrived and looked very nice. I ordered the fish pie which was delicious. My wife had the vegan pie which she also enjoyed. The service was excellent, the food tasty and the atmosphere was cosy and friendly. I would defiantly recommend a visit to this establishment.

Had lunch. Food was excellent and great value for money. Excellent atmosphere, busy for a Thursday afternoon.

Value for money. Good choice for vegetarians. Food hot and tasty. Disabled accessible via back room. Sport channel but not intrusive

Enjoyable evening , when I return to the area I will go back.

Roast was made up fast and most of it was raw. Staff were nice but I was very disappointed at the Sunday dinner.

Warm welcome, good beers, great home cooked food. Reasonable prices for great food, the chips are amazing too. Home made soup of the day is also extremely tasty as well. Highly recommend

We were a party of 17 adults and 6 children booked in for a finger buffet in the back function room. No heating on until I asked and then only on for an hour before it went off again on a cold wintry December night. Owner told me on phone when booking that all food would be home made - not so - apart from sandwiches the rest was frozen bought in food. Had HE not actually said on booking that food would be home made I wouldnt have thought any more of it. The owner insisted that I collect cash from everybody for the food even though we could pay for the drinks at the bar by card. Told me I should have organized the payments before arriving!!! No mention of cash payment was made when booking. He was so arrogant. Will never set foot in this place again.

Very nice food, wide selection of drinks and friendly landlord. Dog friendly.

My friends were disappointed with the Sunday lunch, in particular the beef. I thought the vegetarian option was ok

Good local pub for food and a drink.

Very friendly and helpful staff the food was great and most enjoyable. Would certainly recommend and return

Found the Mathry Arms Sunday lunch not up to standard. Ambience OK, welcome could have been warmer!!

A quaint Pub in a quaint village... The photo is of a flowerbed near The Farmers Arms in Mathry. The Farmers Arms is the closest pub to the beaches of Abermawr and Aberbach.

Excellent food friendly service

Lovely stop for lunch, great service, friendly bar man. Fantastic food considering he was the only person working, was doing bar and kitchen, highly recommended, thank you!

Call into today for meal 1* chicken curry +rice and poppadom 1* Thai curry + rice and poppadom Poor landlord was serving the bar/ kitchen as he was short on staff. But he done a very good job 👏👍in both jobs 🙂

We celebrated our wedding anniversary (46 years) with a Sunday roast. Ample food portions, with thick meat slices. We were early, but we were seated and served before our alloted time. Staff were polite and helpful.

Had a lovely meal with extended family at short notice here at the farmers arms. Full marks for quick and friendly service and fitting us in! We had gone for Sunday lunch, but it was sold out, as it is very popular!

Lovely local family friendly pub, friendly staff and comfortable seating areas. Great menus

Very accommodating, freshly cooked food.

Drop in it says. We'll be pleased to see you. That's what website says. Rubbish. Stood in the bar. One staff member walked past & the girl behind the bar went out the back. We walked in at 2pm on Sunday. Wouldn't serve us. Came back the next evening. Not hello or anything. Told fully booked for dinner all evening. Not asked if we wanted a drink. Nothing. Such a shame as its such a lovely looking pub. Spoiled by the staff.

Lovely pub with amazing views . We called in for a very late lunch nothing was too much trouble . All our meals were great , Fish pies , Lasagne , & Gammon egg & chips , very generous portions . So nice to have a really chatty landlord . Looking forward to our next visit .

Great soul food and great service. The staff here are very conversational and friendly. My family and some friends have been camping in the area and despite the torrential rain everyone was in a good mood. In fact we can hear one night and decided to come back a second. All the food including the steak and ale pie, the famous fish pie and the lasagne was delicious. If you’re looking for a very nice dinner in a local pub then come here.

Excellent meal, service and value for money Attentive service. Would recommend and would return. Go go go

Very nice place for dinner. Was fairly busy on the friday night we visited. Good atmosphere.

One of the best rump steaks I’ve ever tasted (and believe me, that’s praise indeed!) with hand cut chips and peppercorn sauce. You really need to experience the steak rare. Great flavour! ⭐️

Needs a good clean. Looks and smells very grotty

Stayed a few yards from this pub for a week and drank and / or ate there most days. This is a thoroughly welcoming, warm, local pub that attracts a good crowd of visitors and locals. There's a great selection of real ales and premium lagers and the food is excellent, homemade fayre. The staff are hard-working and friendly. If your idea of a good pub and pub food is a national chain it might not be to your liking - the food will be uncustomarily fresh and the beer pulled from well kept barrels! But if you appreciate good, homely food, a decent pint and traditional pub surroundings, well - you'll be laughing. Thanks for your hospitality.

Lovely service in this pub, super cute and my mum had a great time. Such a tiny little village :)

Friendly staff, but the meal was the worst we have had for a long time,the chips were soggy and the curry not good with a garnish that was completely dead and should never have been put on the plate!

Great food, very welcoming and helpful staff. I can't believe it wasn't busier!! Will definitely be going back very soon!

Booked for a meal here after checking out reviews. On arrival could see that it was a very quiet evening, told to just sit anywhere. After looking at the menu chose to have the lasagne and 2 chicken curries. When the meals were brought to us the lasagne looked very nice, the curry , although looked nice, after a eating a little the chicken was very dry and the curry itself had very little flavour, needless to say they were both left. When our dishes were collected we were asked if all was OK, we did say that the chicken was very dry and this was obvious as hardly any had been eaten. We were offered a drink, I guess as a way of an apology, I would of thought and hopped to have had the meals removed from the bill, or the very least a reduction. We left, feeling very unsatisfied. Wouldn't visit again.

Good food, good host and dog friendly

Dog friendly pub, good service and really decent priced tasty food. Thank you.

Friendly staff good food amazing drink

What a great place, We visited here on the off chance and decided to come back for a meal on the last day of our trip, We were very impressed the food was great especially the minted lamb burgers! Nice friendly service, Will definitely visit again one day!

One of these places where you place at the top of your "dependable list" when you really want to go out for a meal and relax

Proper Pub, friendly staff, good beer and fantastic pub food, fish and chips was as good as it gets.

We walked in… an empty bar 5minutes before someone casually came from the kitchen to acknowledge us, then served by a nice enough lad behind the bar, however very very casual for a “Mother’s Day” service. Unfortunately did not look professional at all jeans, zip top hoody and a t-shirt…. We sat it was less than a minute before asking if we were ready to order, asked if they could gives us 2 more minutes, all seemed very rushed… Ordered our meal.. pate was lovely all though stingy portion and the salmon mousse was most definitely not mousse… but loads of it in comparison to the 2 thin sliced pieces of cold toasted bread… The salmon “mousse” was tasty… The Main… Beef dinner…. Looked good presented well.. beef was chewy - Yorkshire puddings homemade and tasty Mashed potato- warm tasted like smash not seasoned and barely enough for 2 carrots / swede again tasty Beans - still raw Sausage wrapped in bacon - COLD Cauli cheese different! Roasties were good and were the only thing piping hot…. Gravy had to ask for more as it was being rationed the tiniest of jugs although it being completely tasteless all in all just not great… Pudding is something I always have but unfortunately we were left so underwhelmed with the main we left hungry an went… Small things that make an experience for us lacked detail, Salt and peppers looked awful on tables just thr bought grinders from the wholesalers and put on tables….. corridor out to back dining area had signs an clutter in… Coloured fairy lights just made the beautiful traditional county pub look so tacky!!! It’s a Shame have spent many of years in this pub an has dramatically gone down….

Lovely old fashioned pub, great atmosphere. Friendly staff especially the owner. Fantastic pub grub at good price. Highly recommended.

Booked a table for 11 people and a mixture of vegetarian and the food was outstanding, a great selection, all cooked to perfection, all served with a smile and banter, pudding was delicious. We decided to go back 2 day later for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed, it was delicious and again served with a smile, we will definitely go back.

Great local pub with amazing wholesome food. Worth booking especially for Sunday lunch in advance. Great gluten free options. Buy one get one free main meals on February too!

Fab little find. Dog friendly. Very nice food. Log fire. Fab friendly staff.

Great little pub good landlord good beer we will. Be going back

Delicious home cooked food, friendly atmosphere, lovely country pub

Friendly staff and well kept beer

Loverly Sunday dinner Friendly staff

Lovely friendly country pub. They totally dog friendly, you can take him inside into the bar. Not like some " dog friendly " place, where you have to sit outside, ok if its a warm sunny day, not so if its cold and wet. Great food, large portions, quick service. Friendly staff. Will return before we go home.

Friendly bar staff, and good beer from the Bluestone Brewery

Very nice pub, super food and friendly helpful staff.

Good food and service, great value for money. The special burger was enormous!!!

We loving it. Coming here every year while on our annual camping holiday. Good drink, good food, great people!👍👍

Nos solucionaron la cena del dia puesto que ibamos tarde en una zona con escasos restaurantes. Fuimos de los ultimos comensales. Fueron muy correctos y la comida adecuada
