The Gourmet Pig in Pembrokeshire

We’ve been here a couple of times before, and always really enjoyed it, so we felt a tiny bit disappointed with our experience this time. Our order arrived slightly wrong, although the staff seemed quite busy, and it wasn’t particularly a problem, so we didn’t make a fuss, because in the end it didn’t really make much difference to us – we did enjoy the food that we got. Having said that though, a number of the customers around us also seemed to be receiving not quite what they ordered… ! A couple of the staff seemed really stressed, and one in particular seemed very distracted – there were a number of times that she arrived in the small room at the back where there are tables saying “ Did anybody order X?” and when nobody replied, she would take the item away again. We also waited quite a long time for the food to arrive. All in all, it was just a bit unfortunate – I don’t know whether they were having problems of some description, but it just wasn’t as nice as it has been when we’ve been before.

Very good selection of cured meats and cheeses, and all sorts of other products in the shelves. Pastries. Good coffee. Takeaway sandwiches.

Delicious ciabatta, ham, chorizo, cheese and chilli jam, best I have had for years. On route to ferry, highly recommend

Atmosphere nice and good selection of local products. Good service. But terrible coffee and burnt tasting oat milk. Cappuccino scolding hot and not to my flavour and no foam, more like a latte in little cup. also took 15 mins with 3 staff and no other customers for 1 drink. Don't recommend for coffee.

We were really looking forward to lunch here after reading the great reviews, but….. it was weirdly unwelcoming, the food we wanted from the standard menu wasn’t available (including soup of the day! What is it, soup once a month?). The very first impression was of dirty dusty surroundings and tatty paper menus that looked filthy. The man serving behind the counter was unfriendly. However our coffee was tasty - we then decamped and went to Mannings for lunch instead - delicious, friendly and clean!!

A much needed drink after the Marine walk, lovely coffee and a hot sausage roll home made. Asked about their coffee and the topping on the sausage roll, staff were helpful and friendly. Brought some lovely deli items to take home too.

Unique decor, friendly service with a smile and excellent food. The vegan option was really tasty. Vegan hot chocolate is worth a try as well.

Only had coffee but it was great and loved the decor and atmosphere

Great food and service, friendly staff.

Good to be back for a fab Flat White ♡

An interesting foodie shop and small cafe.

Great selection of cheeses and local produce

Cozy cafe with a nice selection of food and drink.

Didn't feel welcome but pie lovely

San Diego melt best sandwich in a long time

Great coffee. Highly recomend it.

Not exactly friendly, coffee weak, hot chocolate Luke warm, chap put his finger in it to test! Hopefully new chocolate in replacement but still only just warm. Very disappointing. Felt like we were almost too much trouble. Good cheese selection.

Lovely interior and atmosphere and the service was good, staff were friendly and welcoming. However, the food was surprisingly underwhelming. The soup was very bland and tasteless and the sandwich was nothing special. Disappointing.

This is the 2nd time we have dropped in for a coffee since we had a lovely light brunch not so long ago. We were too hungry to think about leaving a review then, but the food was fresh, tasty and filled a gap. Today was more a leisurely chat over a coffee. Lovely coffee, nice atmosphere with jazz as the background music. Great little coffee shop and small deli. They even had individual rabbit pies to buy. I'll be back later for one of those for my dinner :0) Highly recommend a coffee here x

What a lovely place! Really impressed with the selection of different foods they had on offer- I had the chicken and gammon pie and my partner had San Diego Melt Ciabatta Sandwich- both were delicious! Coffee was also very good! Would highly recommend!

Could have been friendlier. The couple behind the bar seemed a bit uninterested, not exactly unfriendly but not welcoming either, more functional than anything else. Coffee wasn't anything special, and the shop itself didn't seem to sell anything particularly out of the ordinary. Most of the produce could be found elsewhere. We just felt the establishment promised more than it delivered. It was OK.

My Spouse and I called in here for lunch. We ordered our food and waited and waited … it was practically empty so I couldn’t understand why it took over 45 minutes for it to arrive. The waitress was nice and apologised but the man - just say he was charm itself to two regulars ( the only other people there) but ignored us. “Rustic” is just corrugated sheeting around the place. Overpriced and underwhelmed.

Beautiful small cafe, yummy puffs, perfect coffee.

I hate being harsh on hospitality venues,because my son is in the industry and I know exactly how tough it is BUT.....the gentleman who runs or owns this place needs to grab a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word " hospitable ". It's incredible how much people will cut you some slack if they can see you are short staffed but just give them a " hello " and " I'll be with you as soon as I can ". I won't go on and on but you need to do that.

Lovely café with excellent home roasted coffee and good selection of sweet things! Dog friendly too. And good music!

Popped in planning to buy quite a lot of stuff for a party (cheese, booze etc.) Waited 11 minutes (i counted)at the counter while three people behind it fannied about with bits of paper so I just left my stuff on the counter and walked out. Despite the fact they're almost on my doorstep, I'll be driving elsewhere to buy stuff from now on

When we entered The Gourmet Pig there was a gentleman being served at the counter and one other customer seated at a table with her mother. The cafe wasn’t busy. We ordered a coffee, tea and a sausage roll, paid and were then asked to sit down “our order would be brought over to us.” Then we waited and waited and waited and watched as others came into the shop, were served and then left. When I asked when we might be receiving our order, the server wanted to know what I had ordered. The service was offhand, disappointing and neglectful. The cafe needed a jolly good clean, there were cobwebs and dust everywhere and the cutlery was dirty. I was then asked again what I had ordered. It took over 30 minutes to serve us a cup of coffee, tea and a warmed up sausage roll, which was all a shame because the drinks and food were ok when they finally came. But that wasn’t the problem, the service and server were the problem, including the lukewarm apology.

Great produce, nice place to stop. Lots of local goods for sale and great for gifts too 😀 Easy to park and on the way to the ferry.

Fab coffee. Amazing choice of unusual deli style food. Rather taciturn staff, not very welcoming.

Loved this place - we only popped in for a snack but ended up ordering a bit more as it all looked so nice and was a very reasonable price! I’m only sad that we discovered it near the end of our trip to the area, as I would defo have gone back to try everything else on the menu….! Will definitely go again when we visit.

Went in with the intentions of buying some of their coffee beans as we tend to do when visiting a new place... Had an Oat milk latte from the cafe and ended up chucking it away as it just tasted like milk. The server was grumpy too! Would save your money and go elsewhere.

If you enjoy good coffee I'd give it a miss.

Good for coffee and to buy local produce, including pies and cheese.

I was charged £9.50 for 2 lattes, one the oat milk was clearly burnt and the other the syrup was so sweet I can only assume it was to disguise its terrible taste. the takeaway cups were incredibly small considering the high cost (£3 per latte and 60p for an extra shot in 1, not sure where the other £2.90 cost appeared from??). as for the service I was served by a straight faced man who was incredibly abrupt and unwelcoming👎🏼

Great coffee and the San Diego melt is scrumptious

Very friendly and welcoming. Popped in for a coffee and some cake as a treat. The choice and quality was fantastic. We shall definitely return again. Dog friendly. Indoor area plus a small outside area.

Excellent food. Quality ingredients served well by friendly staff. Totally faultless meal.

A real gem. Really enjoyed the antipasti platter and fresh salad. So much so that I had it again 24hrs later! If you're in the area make sure you find this place. You won't be disappointed.

Called in for lunch. Lovely coffee, delicious ciabattas, very friendly service and great music. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you.

Needed somewhere to get a GOOD coffee, and directed this way by locals. What an unassuming delight, this place wouldn't look out of place down Shoreditch, with great products and a lovely coffee! We sat outside and took in the view and had the most AMAZING treats!

The best sausage rolls I've ever tasted 😘👌

Great coffee. Rather hostile staff

Unfortunately,and despite a personal recommendation, the only good thing we can say is that the Gourmet Pig is dog friendly. Visiting on a very wet day, we can only assume they were having a bad day too!

Fantastic cafe and delicatessen with a welcoming owner. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

A decent selection of cheese. Busy on the cafe side.

My favourite stop for coffee n pastry when in Fishguard, good range of eats in or take-away.

pleasant and relaxing deli. great cheese & salami, good coffee and light dishes worth a visit during the day

Fantastic coffee shop and deli. Nice variety of items available. Had lunch there, highly recommended. Good range of choices available, homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and platters. The Welsh rarebit is highly recommended, very tasty and it came with a Fantastic green salad that was delicious and went well with it. The cheese board was also incredible. Great value, all fresh and very tasty.

Best coffee in the UK. On a par with New Zealand coffee. Pies are fantastic too.

When in Wales have Welsh rarebit for lunch. Very good with a side salad. Would recommend. Nothing else to say. Too many characters I will not bother to complete

Helpful and pleasant staff. Good service

Feeling a little peckish after a walk along the beautiful Marine Walk we came across this beautiful delicatessen,great range of food and coffees

Wow super coffee and nibbles . Friendly staff and plenty of seating. Interesting variety of wholefoods in the shop. Well worth a return visit .

Expensive gourmet bits n bobs type deli/cafe, steak pie was good though and the other half enjoyed her rabbit and bacon pie

Great coffee and nice looking seating area.

I realise that the bar is quite low for coffee in Wales but this was really good and the service was excellent so I don't understand any of the negative reviews. The deli looked really good as well and was not not too pricey. I would say this place s actually worth a detour.

Highly recommend this place. Very friendly staff, great sandwiches and coffee. We sat outside in the sun and soaked it all in. Added bonus - they let dogs inside :)

Lovely little location for a snack or a cuppa! Very pleasant people, fantastic selection of cheeses and pastries among other things, loved the layout. Highly recommend.

Great friendly service with good coffee, and I mean really good coffee, usually I need a large to satisfy my taste buds, but this did it in one normal sized hit. Highly recommend it.

We had lunch, great choices, vegetarian items, Cortado coffee,lovely deli shop, friendly service, delicious.would recommend if in Fishguard.

Stopped here for lunch whilst travelling to St Davids. Very pleasant atmosphere, the sandwich's were great, so much so I bought some bread and cheese to take away with me.

It's not too obvious from the outside but they do have a cafe with a seating area. Well worth a visit. lovely delicatessen with a good choice of sandwiches, cheeses, meats and all sorts of chutneys and jams.

Gem in the heart of Fishguard. Lovely service, beautiful decor and thoughtful, original food. We had a salad, a baguette and smoothies, all were very nice. Would recommend

Specialises in bespoke ciabatta sandwiches. Waited 20 minutes at 12:40 to place order for sandwiches, then told they had run out of bread.

The food was very good my family enjoyed it alot. I had a sausage roll and it was amazing would go agian

Lovely, friendly staff and good cafe food and drink made for a restful stop-off on the way to the marina.

Damn, first time in 5 days having a beautiful coffee, I would recommend oat flat white regular. Spot on.

Great coffee and a nice range of Welsh cheese in the deli!

Great food, great choice and good coffee

Small but full of amazing items. Had a GF sandwich made with a ciabatta and not boring cheap bread, they do charge £1 extra but well worth it. Good different fillings not boring. Bill the manager is very knowledgeable. Staff polite .

Delicious sandwiches, lemon and chocolate canolini, home made cookies. We also had the beef brisket sandwich and th.e special sandwich. Would definitely recommend

Always enjoy coming back from Houston to visit here. Good coffee and great local products for sale. Good pies too!

Style over substance here, I think. The setting is nice, but the whole thing doesn't quite live up to its promise. Food and drink nothing special really.

Kind of meh for me. Had a Macchiato. Again meh and the Wi-Fi wasn’t working. Not my favorite place.

Hot chocolate and coffee were very good.

We today had lovely coffee here with a panini each. Two of us had the special which had a gorgeous combination of flavours. The other had the Moroccan Panini which was also delicious. We were made to feel very welcome.

Myself and a friend thought we would treat ourselves to lunch and thought that we would try here. The front of the shop looks fantastic and all the produce for sale looked delicious but expensive. We ordered some food and sat down. First of all...

Stopped off to the Gourmet Pig after a wedding in Cardigan... had a Mojo Ciabatta roll with brie, Salmon, salad and chutney. Oh my ! what a delight absolutely fabulous love it also the Toffee Blondue and a cuppacino... well worth visiting this deli 😋

Great local business, I've been here a couple of times for a takeaway sandwich and each time has been fantastic. Highly recommend!

Lovely selection for food and coffee/tea. Can even eat there as well.

Delicious coffee! Alternative milks options available. I had double expresso with coconut milk!

Great coffee, nice and strong with loads of flavour. Reasonably priced, coffee, veggie slice and sweet snack for £5 seems ok to me. Well stocked deli with lots of variety. Nice environment.

Popped in for cake and coffee, delightful and characterful. Had a wonderful menu but sadly we could only visit once. Would highly recommend.

Continues to be awesome, great service and some really delicious baked goods on offer. The best range of booze and treats in the area and hands down, for me, the best coffee in Fishguard and the local area. Love it!

Went in for a cake because they are always yummy..... and found some great coffee... it tastes fantastic will be back for more..

Very nice deli with a great selection of light bites, sandwiches, cakes and drinks within walking distance of the coastal paths and the centre of Fishguard. The dusty trail ciabatta with pulled chicken was perfect.

We arrived just after 2pm on a Saturday, not sure whether it was still open as a member of staff seemed to be busy cleaning the floor. The sign said open until 4pm. We enquired and were told we could have drinks but no food...

Great coffee and Welsh cakes... Fab gourmet deli.

Wonderful vegetarian choices and delicious coffee! Would definitely visit again next time we are in the area!

We thought a vegan feast was going to be a nice plate food. Instead we each received a medium-sized Kia ciabata with a smidgen of hummus some lettuce and a chopped olive very very mediocre. Even worse it was £6 each a complete rip-off. They...

We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was really good food. We enjoyed all the food we ordered, especially the ham. The staff were friendly and helpful. Glad we found it on our walk.

We waited over half an hour for 2 coffees, ridiculous service & more needs to be done to understand customer needs, not likely to return

We were looking for a late lunch and happened upon this cafe/deli. We had two excellent coffees plus a deli meat selection, goats cheese and caramelised onion pie plus the special sandwich. These items all lived up to the previous reviews and were very tasty....

The food is *so* good, between the lovely sandwiches and the sausage roll, plus the fantastic coffee and smoothies. We went a couple of times on our stay, great place to go with kids too as staff were super welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic place with a really great atmosphere and friendly staff. Coffee is surprisingly cheap and excellent, and the smoothies are great too. Although I didn't personally have a pie myself, my brother did and reliably informed me it was delicious. Lots of food stuffs and alcohol for sale, reasonably priced for what it is! Can't wait to come back when I'm next in the area.

The pie (any pie) is to die for and the coffee is pretty damn divine in its own right. Fabulous.

Lovely sandwich with interesting gluten free bread and delicious local crab. Lots of sandwich options. Tea was also very good. Great deli too... bought a rabbit and bacon pie for the better half.

Great ciabattas, all looks and tastes fresh. Nice staff, diverse range of products. Were able to create something off the menu for the way too picky children. Oh, and clean facilities!

We bought pies from here - twice, as although they were quite expensive they were big and good quality. We also came here for morning coffee - tiny but delicious. And some Caerphilly cheese to take home - I wish I'd bought a bigger block!

So helpful and friendly. Amazing array of delicious food and drink to make up a luxury picnic. Definitely go back there!
