The Farmers Arms Mathry in Pembrokeshire

Now we can eat indoors again, we choose this pub as the closest to where we were staying for a short break. Great quality pub food and super smiley staff - although that may have been due to being able to open again this week. Anyway, lovely beer and food. And similar amount of vege options as meat and fish, which is a great thing. Even our vegan party member got a choice of what to eat :-)

Visited on the first night back indoors. Great atmosphere and staff full of smiles. Food was brilliant, large portions and great quality. I had Lasagne which was as good as that from The Sloop, or if not better. Will be back in July when we are in the area again.

Stumbled across this place for a pub lunch. Only serving outdoors in a marquee due to COVID. Unfortunately the green being used as a beer garden is on a fairly steep slope and was pretty uncomfortable sliding down the bench eating my meal. But I appreciate there is not a lot that could be done about that and we are in strange times. The food was good, just what we were looking wholesome, substantial, tasty and good portions. The staff were friendly and attentive despite being busy with what looked like a large family booking (on separate tables) . The bill was very reasonable and felt we had great value for money. A good find that I would recommend and visit again. Nice to finally have a draught pint!

Had a fun night with my man Delicious Roast Then shared a bottle of wine 🍷 And a nice nightcap Brandy Romantic Pub

Four of us visited on a Sunday evening for an excellent roast dinner. Friendly bar staff, will visit again.

I rang to book an evening table but was told they were only serving Sunday roasts. This was no problem.Received a warm welcome from the hostess. Choice was pork or beef. We ordered one of each.The food came with plenty of fresh vegetables - peas, carrots, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, and mash. It was all hot as was the gravy. The beef came with a Yorkshire pudding and the pork with a sausage wrapped in baconThe meat was a good sized portion. The beef was well done ( I prefer it rare but that was not an issue). The only let down were the roast potatoes which were hard (possibly frozen).Service was excellent.

We visited for Sunday lunch, there were 7 of us. The food was fantastic and very large portions. Great roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, all served really hot. There is a large room at the back of the bar where there is plenty of room for everyone to be seated a safe distance. The food was so good we returned for a Friday night meal and the food was just as great. The staff are really welcoming and helpful. We would definitely return here.

One of the best Sunday lunches I have had for a long time ! Nice village pub,friendly staff and an obviously newly decorated dining room which was spotlessly clean made us feel at ease in these strange times . The food was plentiful and very fresh-lots of lovely vegetables and plenty of meat and the gravy was amazing !!

We have visited this pub on several occasions over the years, most recently this September 2020.Even with the change of management and COVID-19 this is still a welcoming establishment with good food and beer.They are well organised for the Covid environment.Well worth a visit.

Due to Covid, we booked for two the day before. Turned up expecting to eat in the pub but we're shown to the rear restaurant room. We were the only two diners there which was a bit strange but no problems on the social distance element.The room itself was obviously quite new but completely soulless. A bit like a hotel function room. Tip: Some soft furnishings would help absorb the sound bouncing of the walls and tiled floor. During our meal, two guys moved an arcade game machine through the restaurant to the bar and then back out again. Could this kind of thing not be done whilst people are dining?The food itself wasn't great. My fish was more soggy batter than actual fish and pretty sure this was not fresh.We finished our drinks in the bar area which was not that nice. The stains all over the bench seats somewhat off-putting.This place seemed to be the only pub/eatery in the area and with a bit of thought and effort it could be really good.

Been for a meal tonight 10/9/2020, Great service good choice of drinks, Plenty of menu choice, Recommend the Cod in batter, And the Burger didn't have sweet as main was ample, Recommend to all.

In these exceptional times we should have counted ourselves lucky to find this pub open and serving food. I guess we were when having a drink outside in the evening sun – but decidedly unfortunate when having had to wait an hour for an unfriendly landlord to deliver mediocre meals in a soulless noisy new dining hall (that prohibits dogs). Far better to go to the Royal Oak in Fishguard.

We had a delicious lunch here on Friday 4 th September. Both the fish pie and plentiful salad were excellent - everyone in the pub had it so we ate it on recommendation and were not disappointed. The chef came out and had a chat with us too - - delightful young lady originally from Oxfordshire . The manager was also very approachable and friendly. Definitely coming back on our next holiday!

Following a recommendation by the landlady from nearby pub went to the Farmers Arms today. Food and service was excellent . Good choice of beer and the Landlord was both welcoming and helpful. There were three in our party and we all had the fish pie. Great choice and can thoroughly recommend.Will definitely be back.

We went 27 August ‘20 on the basis of the reviews below. We were hoping for an old fashioned local gastro pub with a relaxed ambience. Seems something had changed in the meantime. The eating area is a pretty stale environment, and feels a little like a roadside cafe as opposed to a pub. For some reasons everyone’s conversation seemed amplified, it was actually quite loud. The menu wasn’t the same as their website, and was significantly reduced in scope and interest. The food was seriously disappointing. I don’t think any of it was home made on site, and was bought to be heated and served. The burger, for example, was pre-made and dry, rather than homemade and juicy. Likewise the meatballs. Whilst the food was hot and well presented, it didn’t taste great and partly because it was bought and made offsite. It’s always annoying when you feel you could have made the food much better at home yourself. Not cheap either, given the above. That said, the staff were very friendly and possibly conscious that it used to be significantly better.

Super meal in Farmers Arms good local company plenty of welcome .Gammon cooked to my choice and lamb burger lovely and tender ..Top pub in Pembrokeshire 👍

Apparently the restaurant had been very busy over the weekend so therefore many items were missing from the menu, which left us with very limited options. Chips were reheated several times as they were so over crispy and tough. Fish was in a soggy batter. Mushy peas were cold. Unfortunately this place doesn’t live up to the glowing reviews on Trip Advisor. However, the restaurant area of the pub is very homely and immaculately clean, with tables positioned at a safe distance from each other. Staff friendly and service was quick. Thank goodness they were doing 50% off Eat Out to Help Out as wouldn’t want to be paying full price for our poor meal.

Terrible starters/meal missing items.homemade chips on menu-served frozen scraps, apparently ran out of potatoes....Been many times before with previous owners but Won't be going again or recommend this place.

Not wishing to do much cooking on holiday, we booked in advance a table. We had a group with eclectic tasks and as soon as we were seated and saw the menu everyone was happy with multiple possible choices. When the food arrived (starters and mains), it not only looked amazing and fresh (including salads) but tasted so. Well worth a trip.

Lovely food, homely service, great beer and value for money especially with government 50% discount !

Lovely Sunday roast. Lovely desserts. Friendly staff. Real fire. Good selection of real ales and gin.

We went to Farmers Arms today for my mother's birthday day. We had Sunday Roast and they also catered for my nieces and nephews with children's meals. Every body enjoyed the food and the great atmosphere. Will definitely returning.

We went to the Farmers Arms for a Saturday night dinner. Our party was as old as 83 and as young as 2. We had a lovely meal. The menu is traditional pub grub with lots of choice. Our party had steaks, ribs, burgers and gammon. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, the portions were huge and the service was very friendly. We sat on the new extension and the room was lovely and clean, airy and bright. We shall be back to sample a Sunday roast for certain!

what a joy - 1 minute to three on a VERY windy and wet Sunday (Storm Chiara was doing her best to blow us over) and the response to "when do you stop serving lunch?" could have been so very different but a lovely, welcoming: "3 o'clock, but come on in, bring the dog as well" was the perfect response. we did and had a great traditional Sunday lunch - just excellent. you know that when the chef sits down to lunch at the next table then the food's good! left with a smile on our face. a great find and one to remember and recommend.

Family of 5 with young kids. We all enjoyed our food and the kids enjoyed playing on the pool table. Would recommend for food if your staying near by. We will definatley return when in the area

Any pub that welcomes dogs is instantly a high scorer for me. From the outside, this pub looks quaint and cozy and whilst when you walk in, there doesn’t look much space and doesn’t have candles on or tables set, actually this local pub does all it needs too. Serves drinks with a smile and good chat and ultimately serves delicious food!We had the Canadian Burger and the lasagne. And both were delicious. The burger bun was real bread; by all accounts fresh from a bakery. Not that dry nasty brioche bread that most establishments use.The chips and you may think this trivial, but the chips to me are some of the best served! I will often judge a place on the type of chips used. It’s so easy to serve “school dinner” chips. But these had texture and taste and were served in perfect portion size. We had a very short stop at this pub but the locals will talk to you, the fire is lit (February visit) the dogs are welcome, the food is hot and tasty and you can sit comfortably for as long as you like.Please don’t use google for opening times( at the time of writing this, Feb 2020, google says permanently closed) it is not, just under temporary management, but I really do hope this places stays open!! I wish the farmers arms good luck and please keep that wonderful chef!!!

Anna will all that her husband has a bad back and they cannot keep the pub but the truth is that Mike was caught with his fingers in the till and blamed the young barman. The place is empty as they have upset all the local villagers who keep a pub going through the summer months. They have lost their best chefs as they could see the truth.

Had Sunday lunch there , plenty of food and really tasty. Staff were pleasant .will be going back.also the locals are really friendly, real old fashioned country pub. Well worth a visit.

Visited here today with my daughter for Sunday lunch. Warmly greeted with great service. Food was delicious, served hot in very generous portions. Couldn't fault the place, Will return soon :)

On holiday for Christmas we booked Christmas lunch at the Farmer’s Arms a few months ago. We popped in the day before and found the staff really friendly and welcoming especially for four legged friends. Arrived on Christmas Day and chatted to the friendly locals before going into the very nice dining room. It was perfect as our dog was allowed to come with us and met other dogs who came as well. The 3 course lunch was fantastic value with very nice pate, roast beef, goose excellent roast potatoes and veg and lashings of gravy followed by pudding and cheese and biscuits. It couldn’t be faulted and made our Christmas Day. The landlord and landlady did a fantastic job and I know life is a bit difficult to say the least at the moment. Thank you for a great day and I hope 2020 is kind to you.

Such a lovely cosy pub and the new restaurant area is wonderful. Had a delicious family Christmas meal here, veggie options are great and they do not scrimp on the vegetables. The team were really friendly and accommodating and the service was faultless. Thank you so much.

Came here for a quick lunch and came away full and happy! As many reviewers point out, portions are for the hungry but the quality of both the food and the cooking are also very good. Menu prices seemed quite reasonable to me.

This is a brilliant place to eat food with family friends pets! You can get a lot to eat here and I mean a lot. The portion sizes were huge and worth the money. However the prices were affordable. The staff were also very friendly. Thanks for a lovely meal!

I am speechless about this pub. The food is really nice and lovely (they don't mess around with the portion sizes either) and the staff are extremely friendly and approachable. It is family friendly and has really improved our trip to Wales!

Had a fabulous meal and a warm welcome. My husband had the cod and I had the gammon, can highly recommend both .Will definitely return.

A very pleasant & welcoming local. Plenty of choice on the menu - and very tasty too! We’ll be back before we head home....

Me and my wife visited this pub saturday as we were recommended by one of our friends about the food. We felt welcomed from the start by the young waiter who had service with a smile (the way it should be). We both had a lovely meal which was priced fairly. would recommend and definetely coming back!

Having recently moved to the area we wanted to find a local place to eat - this pub has not disappointed and we have now visited for meals numerous times with various friends and family. Everyone we take raves about the food. We always find the staff really friendly. Lovely range of food - we have tried most dishes now and particularly love their variety of 'specials'. My son is vegetarian and says their homemade veggie burgers are 'the best' The atmosphere is really lovely and you always feel welcome by everyone. They also allow dogs which is an added bonus. We always book as they do get quite busy. With out a doubt this is a great pub - highly recommended.

We called in here after a morning of coasteering. What a way to warm up! Delicious food and extremely friendly service. Great little find.

So...me and my partner stayed in Mathry for a week holiday...self catering accommodation. The farmers arms is central to the holiday cottages in Mathry and the focal point for the community.

Discovered this little gem by accident after a disappointing search for a dog friendly place to have a lunchtime meal in Goodwick. The landlady was very friendly especially to our dog Murphy giving him fuss and a treat. My husband and I had a toastie and a panini. Very nice lunch.

I came to visit a friend and we came here for drinks and dinner on both nights. The food is amazing, rustic and fresh. Roxy behind the bar is welcoming and just lovely! Chloé from the kitchen popped out to say hello too! What a lovely lady! Massive fan and the food is just

When camping nearby sometimes you just need a great host, warmth, great food and drink. The Farmers Arms has all this. We popped in twice at short notice and were very much welcomed including our dogs. The food was excellent. The bar was good (Selfishly I was probably hoping for a slightly larger range of beers but that is my only very minor comment). Would definately recommend this for everyone including families with dogs. A big thank you to the team there.

We called in without a reservation and luckily found a seat - we’ll book next time! Very glad they had room for us as the food was excellent and despite being busy the service was good. The pub was packed with families on holiday as well as a few locals so it had a lovely atmosphere.

The Farmers was suggested by a local as we took to the lanes in search of food on a busy BH Tuesday, and how glad were we that they could squeeze us in! Gorgeous local stone built proper pub, busy tables filled with families, holiday makers and locals all made welcome, fairy lights creating a lovely atmosphere, local artists work adorning the walls. A comprehensive enticing menu including kids meals and specials, great pub grub at reasonable prices which arrived very quickly, friendly service on both sides of the bar. Couldn't resist the puds so came rolling out full and very relieved some local pubs don't cook on Tuesdays! Thanks for being so accommodating, really appreciated it, we'll definitely be back!

Had a really nice meal here with the family. Top quality pub grub. Big portions. Good beer selection. Friendly staff.

Sommes allés dîner dans ce pub car on nous l'avait recommandé. La nourriture servie est cuisinée et non pas réchauffée au micro ondes comme beaucoup d'endroits. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et les plats que nous avons mangés étaient très copieux et délicieux. Je recommande vivement

parking and not for from the beach.Busy village pub with good menue for lunch and dinner. Good selection of beers and friendly staff. Handy

A very dissatisfied and disappoining visit here!!! It clearly states that food is served up until 9pm but the bar staff said that they had stopped as it was 8:40pm...why advertise until 9pm then? Shocking i must say. Will definitely not be visiting here again

We were looking for Sunday dinner on a very rainy day. Very friendly, good beer, excellent food and dog was made welcome. Lovely little place

We booked for Sunday lunch due to being in the area and having eaten here over a year ago having a good cooked dinner which included a gluten free option for my husband which provided GF Yorkshire puddings which he only usually gets at home when I make them.

Sehr gemütliches Pub im Nirgendwo ;-) mit nettem Personal und gutem Essen. Wir hatten Mules zur Vorspeise sowie Ragu-Penne und Curry als Hauptspeise. Eine wohltuende Abwechslung nach den vielen Chips auf dem PCP. Wie sind subito mit anderen Gästen ins Gespräch gekommen. Alles sehr entspannt.

Warm welcome. Wonderful menu with lots of options. Good vegetarian options. Delicious food, large portions. Good selection of ales. Would recommend to anyone.

Staying down the road in Letterston we went to the Farmer's Arms for an evening meal on Friday night. Unbeknown to us it was fish night. We all ordered cod and chips. It was delicious and for £7.50 a bargain. Plenty of parking around the village green and a warm welcoming feel to the place. We'll be back!

Goods for traditional pub grub. Friendly accommodating staff local beers & ciders. Well worth a stop

Went for the first time on Saturday night, booked a table and glad we did!! Popular place and obviously in transition as first table was below the dart board, and radiator really hot but asked to move , which was no problem. We said it appears lots of building work going on, inside tired and in need of decoration, maybe a little more help behind the bar? That said food and service were excellent. Recomend a visit but advise a booking.

Recommend this gem of an extremely dog friendly & people friendly pub! Great home cooked food with a varied menu & good value for money. Gin & wine great! We were welcomed & spoiled and will return. Recommend you book a table as very popular .... Anna & Mike the landlady & lord run a great pub. Thank you ... we will return Ewok & all!

Visited twice, good atmosphere, nice drinks, pool table. Pity we chose the wrong team to support both times!!

This is where we had our evening dinner with 14 people. A variety of local food, burgers, fish etc. large portions and very tasty. They are also known for the mint dessert balls, excellent👍

Ate twice whilst stopping in the village and was very impressed. All the staff were polite and pleasant. Good range of drinks. Extensive menu including pub favorites and specials. Had the beef curry on the first visit which was good but was surpassed by the Burger meal on the second visit which was of top quality and very substantial. The Welsh lamb cawl (stew) that another diner had looked very good as well. The dessert menu again was extensive offering puddings, waffles and ice cream sundaes. Everything was reasonably priced. I would suggest booking beforehand as tables are limited whilst an extension to the pub is built.

We really enjoy visiting our local pub as its really friendly, the food is really good and the beer is excellent, and their is a brilliant dairy free ice cream available!

Really good pub food, delicious mussels, great tasting burgers, fab beer, affordable price...overall a great evening out!

Having read ( and chuckled at) some of the amusing reviews at the other end of the scale we thought we would give the Farmers Arms a try.

4 adults and 5 dogs turned up,15 minutes after they had finished serving lunch. We asked if they were still serving lunch expecting to be turned away but NO come in . The manager and staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and opened the kitchens again especially for us. Outstanding service and excellent food. We will be back.

A really friendly and welcoming traditional pub, with a selection of well-kept real ales and several Welsh real ciders. Very good food at sensible prices, and dogs are positively encouraged!

We stopped off during a long walk for a pint and found it a very welcoming place indeed. A really good range of food and drink and lovely staff. It was the end of lunch service and we were given some roast potatoes free by the charming landlady. We will return and have a meal.

Great pub. Food excellent and the new owners made us all very welcome. Wishing you both every success in your new venture. We'll be back soon and even more once we relocate here. See you guys soon Jules and Tim

Visited Easter Bank holiday Monday. Sat outside in beer garden. Very friendly staff. Lovely home made food with real chips. I had burger (all burgers local butchers), wife had veggie curry. Both delicious & good portion sizes. Good selection of beers. Would definitely recommend

I telephoned to book a table for dinner on Friday, I was told that they would be able to squeeze me in! I arrived at 7.30 pm to be asked if I would mind eating at the bar, as people had arrived prior to me and taken reserved seating. As I was eating on my own, I agreed.

A very warm welcome from the new landlord and landlady. Still a freehouse so a good selection of beers, including Welsh breweries. Food is good pub fayre but a higher standard than most. Locals very chatty, really lovely atmosphere, we came house hunting so hope to be locals ourselves soon!

Nice to meet new management and can confirm the food is still of a good standard.

...and I felt like I was being punked into performing some lewd act that would surely end in my arrest and incarceration. :-). Actually the Harry Sparrow is a cider that had not been delivered yet, so I didn’t get to try it. I highly recommend the Dark Fruits and Black Dragon.

Landlady is very welcoming. Menu is varied and suitable for vegetarians. Food was hot and plentiful. You certainly won't go home hungry! Dogs are made to feel like one of the family.

Second meal in a week - salmon easily over cooked but just right at the Farmers. Our friends were very impressed with the choice of cinders too. Well done

I don't quite know how to score the Farmers. The welcome and service were excellent. The new Landlady had time for everyone and a smile. Food arrived very quickly and the portions were very generous. Vegetables were generous and a wide selection. The red wine was good and good value.

We were staying up the road and after a lazy day we decided to try here for our tea.

Best of luck to the new people taking over. Still the same great food an lovely people xx was desri and Steve's last night, last night. Great evening had by all, sad to see them go xx

The best Sunday lunch. We visit here often and can always rely on great service and great food. Will be back!

Had Sunday Lunch here today and it was fabulous, the owners are very friendly and helpful and lots of meat and vegetables and a great choice of puddings. Can highly recommend and will return

Parking on streets around the Pub/Inn/Restaurant. 3 steps at front door (didn't enquire about another entrance). Family friendly. Notices say dog friendly and free wi-fi. Looked like might be good idea to book in advance as we did, to ensure getting a table. Nice friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly too.

Had a great ploughman’s. Lunch. There Steve. The barman was exceptional very nice place for lunch. And surely a great place. For a few pints

Six of us visited The Farmers Arms on Thursday night,although there wer'nt many people

We had a lovely family meal here and were really pleased that they catered so well for the vegan members of our group. The main meals were delicious and very filling so we didn't have room for desserts. It was a very friendly place and we were very pleased to find it, particularly as they are so dog-friendly as well. Highly recommended and really good value for money.

What a wonderful pub. What wonderful hospitality.

Absolute amazing food and friendly staff. As a large group booking all our food was piping hot and very tasty,Wouldly recommend. 👌

This is a fabulous pub in a great village with terrific food and a great selection of beers and gin!!

A number of members of our West Wales Jaguar Enthusiasts Club had a Run around West Wales & ended the run here. Car parking is a bit tight but OK The Pub was a delight We were welcomed by the colourful & friendly Owner we had reserved seating in the Garden Room & had preordered our Sunday Lunches. Meal sizes were generous & good value our deserts were equally generous! All in all a very enjoyable meal. There are a number of boards around with amusing little notices on them, fun to read!

After taking my 99 year old reluctant mother to the dentist ,I was starving and decided we needed some food- stopped at this oasis. I struggled to get her out of the car, but a lovely chap who was just having a beer at the pub effectively lifted her inside!

Basic menu but generrally good food served in generous portions. Staff and management friendly, efficient and courteus.

Great family owned pub with amazing fresh beer batter fish and chips with mushy peas. Pool table for an added bit of fun!

Although not a great choice on the menu what we had was very good. A very good choice of vegetables, well cooked and well served. We were recommended by a random lady we met in Fishguard so if she reads this I would like to thank her very much.

my family dined here for Sunday lunch which was really good. Good meal size and really tasty. We went back on our last night of holiday and had equally a good meal. Nice feel good old traditional pub.

A friendly pub serving good pub grub at an average price. Conservatory and pool table. Good choice of beers. Local style.

Met zijn vieren kwamen we in het weekend tegen 19.00 hier aan. Ondanks de drukte, werden we ontzettend gastvrij ontvangen door Gareth en werd er een tafel voor ons vrij gemaakt. Ook gastvrouw Ellie was zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk!

High expectations after reading reviews but with stiff competition around, this did not bowl us over. Traditional pub food which all tasted nice and the pool table fun but couldn’t say be rushing back.

Would highly recommend the Sunday lunch here. Lovely meat and plenty of fresh veg. They do a children's menu - and the kids got a yorkshire pudding the size of their head so they were happy too! Make sure you book ahead as it is a popular place.

This is a lovely pub in a slightly off the tourist track in Mathry. I do love this place having been a few times over the years, but it is only recently that I have sampled the food.

It was good to catch up with friends over a meal. The pub is well known in the area and we had a good welcomed by staff we ordered straight away and it arrived in good time. The meal was hot through out. This is well worth a visit but remember to phone for a table first. We will be going back again in the near future.

Great staff behind the bar and front of house. Great food cooked just as we wanted. Great beer (my God, they even had my weaning beer, Bass as a guest ale). Great atmosphere and a great experience. Thank you. Coming from Cornwall, we have some experience of pubs/restaurants in busy periods. Very happy to recommend the Farmers Arms.

Sorry for the delay in the review visited this lovely place on the 10th of August. A friendly warm welcome including a welcome for our dog!
