The Nags Head in Pembrokeshire

Dinner was absolutely wonderful, what a great menu and the food was amazing as well as the service excellent. Both Dewi (the owner) and Zoe the night manager were of great assistance with a travel related issue we were having. Hats off to this team, this is a great place to stay and eat!!

Once again my wife and I had delicious meals at this wonderful Gastro pub, service was first class by attentive staff Danielle, Hannah also Zoé and the bar steward was entertaining. The lamb tagliatelle was delicious as was the belly pork. I can’t recommend the place highly enough.

Really enjoyed. We had been here a few years ago and were disappointed but delighted we returned as we had a lovely meal. The pub has great atmosphere and couldn't fault the service. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the lamb was slightly tough not bad enough to spoil the meal.

Very disappointed with the staff not very welcoming considering we spent nearly £200 and felt they just wanted to get rid of us made us feel uncomfortable instead of saying they needed the table a certain time for other people X2 members of the staff at the bar just kept staring at us. Food was lovely though so I praise the chef. My dessert the lemon meringue tart was delicious. Need to sort the staff and improve customer service.

Nice food,but some staff not very welcoming. Instead of saying they needed the table,they kept on looking at us and we felt uncomfortable.

5th time here now and I still can't fault anything about this place, nice staff, excellent service, prices that match the quality and the food is amazing, not once have I had anything but a 5* experience. The sword fish was amazing and the wife's wrap lunch also amazing, will and have done, recommended this place, you will not be disappointed, ample parking with beautiful surroundings, inside and out. Outstanding*****

I have passed TNH so many times but never called in, until en route home after Llandysul Show. Booking was so easy through Open Table and we were treated to exceptional service and a varied menu. We had the beef nachos and prawns on bruschetta, followed by lamb sizzler and Thai chicken curry. Absolutely packed with flavour and fresh ingredients. We would definitely return! Thank you to Hafwen who made us so welcome.

Excellent pub! Had a great dinner!

Great place to visit for a pint and a meal. Superb walk nearby to give you a thirst and an appetite

Excellent pub, superb food, great atmosphere and extremely efficient staff. Great to find a dedicated vegan menu which we both ordered food from. Highly recommended, we'll be returning soon.

Lovely pub set in the quiet countryside, great location and a peaceful atmosphere

Disappointed meal having spent hours on tripadvisor searching for some lovely evening meals whilst staying in Cardigan. Lovely ambience and staff. Starters were fine but my main which was pan fried sea bream was tiny and overcooked. However the main disappointment was the thick Passatta the bream sat on. It would have been nice to have put something else in the tomato sauce as this just wasn’t nice. The waitress kindly asked if they should let chef know but i didn’t want to make a fuss in front of other guests. The pudding of Malteser ice cream sundae was simply and yummy. I should have gone with battered fish and chips but thought having had really good reviews I thought the chef would be really good. I think possibly very busy with the bank holiday trade.

What a wonderful surprise the food at The Nags Head was! Four of us booked a table for a birthday celebration and cannot fault it. Delicious and varied menu and cooked to perfection. Three steaks, all cooked extremely well and were ordered from rare to well done. The other person had red thai curry with jasmin rice, it was so full of flavour. The host was friendly and couldn't do enough for us, the serving staff were also helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and just enough to keep us going to our next stop. Really looking forward to another trip here. We all would certainly recommend it.

What a lovely evening. Popped in just for a pint by the river and ended up having the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The lamb sizzler was spot on and the rest of the family loved there dishes. Great staff, very friendly and efficient. So glad I called in. We will be back. Thank you

Had dinner here the other evening with friends. What a great experience.

We had two excellent meals here in two days. So impressed we had to come back. Would highly recommend!

Excellent location, great food, lovely staff.

A regular haunt, this pub has yet to disappoint. On this occasion the five of us, plus dog, sat outside, at one of the covered riverbank tables. Two of us were on “dry” August (?!) and were able to select from a range of zero alcohol offerings, and the menu offered a good range of choices for us all. It’s quite a varied menu, more so than the usual gastro pub offering. I had a katsu chicken burger which was delicious. The staff were lovely and the location is fab. The pub is as nice indoors (no dogs) as outdoors. It was recently voted Pembrokeshire pub of the year. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, efficient service , great ambience, lovely locals. Spotlessly clean. This is a wonderful Gastro-pub highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely looking pub. Eat outside or in. We decided to eat in. Lovely staff, very accommodating and friendly. Fabulous food, cooked to perfection. I was too full to eat pudding so just had coffee.

Love the food what great pub/ restaurant

Excellent food, good choice of drinks at the bar, lovely location next to the river, with extensive outdoor seating. The chef here is very good, you won't be disappointed with the choices and quality of the meals and sides.

Amazing food, lovely comfortable bedrooms and friendly service in a beautiful part of the country

Food was lovely though we only ate starters.

Food was the best i have had in a long time and will be going back

Sunday lunch. Amazing food. Value for money. Beautiful location

Nice little pub in the middle of nowhere , food was excellent and staff very friendly and polite, worth a visit just to sit with a pint next to the river

Lovely place to stay friendly staff and landlord and landlady gave us a warm welcome.

This is our go to place whether just the two of us or with friends and family either for Sunday lunch or an evening meal. All the staff here are so welcoming. The food from the varied menu is great as is the service. Nothing is too much trouble. A lovely atmosphere especially so in the bar area. In short a gem.

We had a fantastic Sunday roast. Have to say our experience from start to finish was excellent. I would highly recommend coming here, I know we definitely will come back again

Nicest pub we found in this part of the world. Antipasta and calamari starters really very good. Main courses ok, just a bit standard

Our favourite place to eat when we stay at nearby Clydey Holiday Cottages. Good food, pleasant service, great to eat outdoors when the weather permits, but nice and cosy inside.

Have been visiting the Nags Head Abercych for over 30 years now and have always loved it. Ate there twice whilst on holiday nearby last week and it was fabulous as usual! Food, drink, service, atmosphere all excellent. Thanks Dewi, Zoe and the team, keep up the good work, look forward to seeing you again soon.

I recently organised a group dinner at the Nags Head. We had a lovely evening. Food was fantastic and the service was efficient (even though we were over 30 in number). Staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Making the booking and organising the meal was also stress free. A huge thank you to the Nags Head for a great evening and I look forward to returning before too long.

14 people in our group dined at The Nag’s Head on July 14th. Most of the diners were very happy, but unfortunately 1 person was very disappointed with the haddock and chips. The batter was very hard and the fish inside very dry and hard around the edges. This person feels he should have sent it back. However everything else about the evening, from the booking to the staff was all excellent. Thank you.

Summer arrived yesterday evening with an excellent meal 👌

Please read the review of our experience below and the reply from the proprietor - make up your own mind! Good Morning, Just to say we were a fairly disappointed with our Sunday lunch yesterday. We booked online in advance to meet my wife's father for Sunday lunch at the Nags Head, we had stopped off for a snack and a drink a couple of weeks earlier and thought it was a lovely venue so that is why we booked for yesterday. When ordering food we were asked if we would like cauliflower cheese with our food, obviously we agreed later only to be told that "apologies cauliflower cheese was no longer available" ! When the roast lunches arrived I cannot express how disappointed we were to observe there was one roast potato, one parsnip, a teaspoon of mash etc, we were then a little more pleased as a cauliflower cheese arrived, 2 minute later removed as we were informed "that it was not for us" , the roast beef was dry and the chicken breast had large bones in it - disappointed we decided to not order dessert and as it was so noisy (big family gathering next to us with lots of crying babies & shouting children - obviously not your fault but so loud we couldn't talk) we moved outside to finish a couple of drinks. we were really disappointed and after talking to some of our friends though it best to pass this info back for your comments We are not complainers and just hope to make you aware of our experience Mark, Claire & Dad Response received Hi Mark, Having now had time to investigate your feedback further, I would like to apologise on behalf of the Nags Head team for these issues. Firstly, I would like to say that this is very unusual, with the majority of feedback always being positive, especially from last Sunday where we served 175 people and in the region of 150 roast lunches. However, we did experience a couple of issues, as a result of numerous late bookings and last minute walkins (which makes staffing and food prep challenging), hence the reason why we ran out of cauliflower cheese. We also had an inexperienced waitress taking your food order on this occasion, and she was embarrassingly not made aware soon enough by the kitchen that we had run out of cauliflower cheese. Secondly, the roast beef is cooked slowly in our Rational Combi ovens overnight, and should not have been dry, the chicken we serve on a Sunday is a good quality Chicken Supreme breast, which contains the breast bone. Once again you should have been informed about the chicken on ordering by the waitress, and I will update our menu to reflect that detail. Finally, it's a shame you didn't inform us of the table location issue (noisy party), we could have tried to move you to a quieter table, although that would have been a challenge as we were fully booked inside for most of the service. As a gesture of goodwill and hopefully to make up for your disappointment, I would like to post you a Nags Head voucher for use on another occasion, and would require your home address to do so please. Part of my reply below I have noted that you did not comment on the one roast potatoe, one parsnip and a teaspoon of mash, are we to take it that this is the norm ? If so despite your kind offer of a voucher I’ll think we will pass.

Very friendly staff, excellent meals, phantastic beers; comfortable rooms; perfect breakfasr

The fish was divine. It was really tasty. Great views ... Awesome staff

Excellent food, great gluten free options and friendly service.

Great value of the food. I recommend the cod with batter because it was so crispy and lovely.

Great little pub in the countryside with excellent food and rooms. & service. Hopefully, we can stay again soon

Pretty garden: beer garden, where it is pleasant to have an aperitif Very large, warm interior rooms, neat country decoration Very good service, the dishes were very good and the desserts too There are choices for vegetarians, vegans, children's menus Good and wide choice of drinks too A pleasant dinner break yes

Good place to eat, friendly staff menu not very challenging or varied, but well cooked food.

Great food and the service was excellent. Thank you

Real pub. Real ale. Sunday roasts are excellent. Theme nights on some Thursdays are excellent, Thai, Mexican and more, do check in advance and it's worth booking as it can get very busy, fantastic garden next to the river cych, dogs allowed in the grass garden areas but not inside the pub.

Absolutely fantastic traditional pub and restaurant, a rare jewel! There aren't many of these special places left about. Incredibly welcoming owners and staff. Fantastic food and lovely ales. Great service. There is also a nice walk up to a tranquil woodland roundhouse, squirrels jumping about and owls calling at night, bliss. We have a little campervan and we're allowed to stay in the carpark. Please Avoid at all costs so it doesn't get to busy..

Top quality food in a wonderful traditional pub environment. Full of atmosphere and wonderful local flavours. Highly recommended.

We visited as a family for Sunday lunch. It was fantastic. Cooked to perfection, generous portions and no wait. Lovely location and would highly recommend.

VISIT THIS PLACE!!!!! As a reviewer I tend to avoid hyperbole but this is one pub I will have to put that aside for. First as a pub it is a beautiful building that has been carefully kept in keeping with its history. Inside, most room is given over to restaurant space, but there is still a little snug with a fire out the back. The food is exceptionally good by any standard but I think the use of local ingredients and a deft imagination in recipes raises it to more of a Michelin standard. So happy were we, that we decided to stay the night in one of their charming rooms and indulge in an excellent breakfast. Just to add to the general air of joy the cost of the room was very good value. What more can I say. Oh the beer is great and the stuffed giant rat in the snug clearly thought it worth travelling from South America to sample this best of Welsh hospitality. If ever in the area go eat and stay here!

Visited for Mother's Day - party of 7. Lovely building . The service was great. Sunday roast was lovely. Would visit again. Many thanks.

Great food and lovely staff. I would highly recommend the olives and bread starter as the olive oil and balsamic glaze dip tastes amazing. My steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great.

Beautiful pub with warm, welcoming atmosphere. Excellent menu including tasty vegan options. Food was excellent, as was the service. We look forward to returning soon.

My husband and I stayed here as we were guests at a wedding locally. Well what can I say. Not only is the place stunning, its spotless. Zoe and the team are very welcoming attentive and friendly. The rooms are lovely with ensuite TV an array of teas, coffee even Welsh cakes. A nice touch. Beautiful view from the room of the river. We had arrived early Saturday to experience the food menu. Red Thai curry was stunning. The breakfast was superb. Plenty of options, the traditional Welsh breakfast was our favoured choice. I must say that the team here really know how to provide excellent service and food. I'm actually reluctant to eat elsewhere now. Definitely going back. Excellent time and relaxed! Thank you to everyone.

Didn't stay just popped in for an evening lunch. Absolute amazing food! Everything was incredible. Service was immaculate. Would highly recommend. 10/10 for me!

Gorgeous looking pub with outside seating on banks of river. Unfortunately not dog friendly so only stayed for a quick drink (storm conditions meant no desire to sit outside)

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Super friendly staff and accommodated at short notice. We'll recommended

Really great characterful pub, often stop by in the summer for a beer by the river, Pubs like this are really lacking in this part of wales but there are a few little gems like this dotted around.

We called in for lunch. my partner had the lamb, i had the steak, both cooked perfectly I would definitely recommend ordering either dishes couldnt ask for better food. We will be back

Our third and final visit to this nice pub ended on a sour note. Having enjoyed a good meal and spent over £200, we were rudely asked to leave at 10.20pm as there was nobody else in the pub. The hospitality sector in rural Wales complains that it is not viable. Learn some basic rules of hospitality and you may survive. Behave like the landlady of the Nag's Head and your business doesn't deserve to survive.

I am so impressed by my ‘Nag’s Head’ experience that I have eaten Sunday Lunch and mid week dinners, including pie and pint night three times this week. The food, service and ambience are outstanding; a first class dining experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Nag’s Head Restaurant as a ‘must visit’ country pub restaurant.

A family lunch made super special with amazing service, delicious food and a wonderful cosey atmosphere! Just perfect. Thank you.

Stayed the night and had diner and breakfast. Room spotless beautifully presented and comfortable. Diner was exceptional. The host and staff were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend and will return.

We are on holiday and have an accredited assistance dog that wears his jacket. We have been to all manner of pubs and restaurants on our travels in wales and have always been met with support and enthusiasm for our dog who is well behaved and small as he is a dachshund. Until this pub. We came here due to its reviews on trip adviser. Because we hadn’t booked I popped in to ask if they had a table and they confirmed they had, at this point I mentioned we had an assistance dog (at this point neither my wife nor the dog was with me). The waitresses looked horrified and due to not knowing what the response was referred me to a gentleman behind the bar. To say he begrudgingly acceded is an understatement, his tone and response was ‘yes that’s fine’ whilst clearly wanting to say no. I went and fetched my wife and our dog as they had waited in the car, to say I almost just got into my car and left is again an understatement however we were hungry and the place has good reviews. When we went in we were seated in an alcove reserved for stacking high chairs and clearly out of the way. Only upon paying was a positive vibe given towards our assistance dog who was being super cute and rolling on his back. The food was excellent, speed of service excellent and the location itself lovely. All of which for us was spoiled by a lack of enthusiasm to accept willingly assistance dogs. I can only imagine their dismay had he been a large Labrador. 5 stars for food and location, 2 stars for tolerance towards the equality act. Hence 3 stars overall

FRIDAY 27TH OCTOBER,MY HUSBAND GLEN AND I DROVE TO CENARTH FALLS TO CARRY OUT THE WINTER LAYUP AT OUR HOLIDAY CARAVAN,THE WEATHER WAS HORRENDOUS WITH THUNDER STORMS SO HEAVY THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD.AFTER A SAFE ARRIVAL AND DOING WHAT WAS NECESSARY AT THE CARAVAN WE CALLED FOR LUNCH AT THE NAGS HEAD IN ABERCYCH .THIS IS A LOVELY PUB THAT WE OFTEN VISIT FOR A MEAL OUT.DUE TO THE AWFUL WEATHER THE PUB WAS RELATIVELY QUIET,BUT WE WERE WELCOMED BY THE OWNER DEWI AND HAD A REALLY NICE MEAL OF FISH CHIPS MUSHY PEAS AND HOME MADE TARTAR SAUCE AND A GLASS OF ROSE WINE.WE WERE SEATED BY A LOVELY OPEN FIRE AND EVEN HAD CUSHIONS PROVIDED FOR OUR DELICATE BOTTOMS.THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR MEAL AND CHAT WITH MINE HOST. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT VISIT.THANK YOU SO MUCH DEWI AND ZOE,VISIT WAS LIKE A RAY OF SUNSHINE ON A VERY RAINY DAY.HAPPY

My wife and dined her on Saturday night and it was utterly delightful: welcoming and attentive staff, warm and lively atmosphere and the food across the two courses we had was superb. Well seasoned, delicious and very more-ish. Also loved a couple pints of the local beer. I’d definitely recommend and will rtn. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Nags Head a few days ago. My first impression was what a beautiful pub in a lovely location. The inside more than matched the exterior. A beautiful layout with rustic furnishings. The staff were attentive and the service was super fast. I ordered a small coffee and it came out what practically felt like seconds later. A bug bear is having to wait ages for table water. Again, literally seconds after we asked for water iy was on the table. Sounds minor but it's this level of detail that sets apart good from great places. Very impressive to say the least. Having read other reviews I admittedly had high expectations on the food. I was not disappointed. My wife and I both ordered the lamb and it was delicious, as were the starters. This was tasty good food that felt reasonably priced too given the quality. In summary I loved this place and hope to visit again should we ever return to the area some day. Thank you for helping to make our anniversary weekend as special as it was.

Lovely friendly pub with great rooms. Food was excellent and all the staff and locals friendly. Room was great, modern and very clean with a view of the river. Comfortable bed and good shower. Everything you need for a comfortable stay

Our last visit here was just after covid so sat outside then. This time we visited at lunchtime and so glad we did as what a gorgeous pub/restaurant serving locally sourced food and beers. Lovely selection of starters , mains and puddings well presented and all at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit and we'll done to the owners for using locally sourced ingredients to help the local economy

Stayed here 2 nights ago . Beautiful country pub with ample parking in a picturesque spot . The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated, all brand new . Bed was very comfortable. Evening meal was absolutely delicious as was the breakfast . Highly recommend and would go again for a weekend treat x

Really great experience here twice now, and definitely planning to return. Even a bit of celeb spotting in the garden area.

Good value, well cooked, interesting wine list offering good quality wines, very efficient and friendly service, overall perfect.

We loved this friendly pub whilst on our holiday, with our 3 dogs, all the food was fantastic and service was excellent and friendly. The only down side was that we could only eat outside with our dogs, but we were lucky the weather was...

What a lovely pleasure to have great service and great food after the disasters we’ve had recently. It was a refreshing change and just like things use to be. Something different from the normal Sunday lunch and presented well with happy friendly staff. Would recommend...

It's got to be said that this gem of a place is probably the best we have eaten in with a relaxing atmosphere. Called in by chance after doing a little tour of South Wales over the Bank Holiday weekend. We have a vw campervan...

Overall we had a nice evening here, though I feel its good to point out a few things that could be improved upon. Starters were OK.. A little smaller portions that when we've previously visited and far from cheap. My husband had the chicken wings...

My wife and I stayed for two nights whilst visiting my daughter. The location is spectacular, in a wooded valley right alongside a lovely stream. The welcome from Zoe and the service we experienced from the whole team was exceptional. We had dinner one night...

Sunday lunch was perfect. Lamb was cooked beautifully, we could not fault it. Location is perfect too.

We stayed at The Nags Head for two nights so as to visit the Museum of Internal Fire at Tanygroes. Our room was clean, comfortable with a modern bathroom and good breakfasts which were individually cooked (not a buffet) and cheerfully served. We ate dinner...

Sunday lunch service extremely slow- our order overlooked then staff continuously asking if all ok, whilst trying to eat ,long awaited meal. Very annoying.

The food was absolutely incredible and the staff were second to none. Well worth the price, we will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

We are lucky to have this on our doorstep. The food is always spot on with a good selection on the menu.

We had a fabulous meal in a great environment with excellent staff. We have eaten here a few times and, every time we bring visitors, they rave about it! We will be back, of course.

Came for an evening meal with my 2 children while on a small break in the area. Glad I googled it and booked a table (was very busy)….was a lovely evening. Staff were very good. Food was amazing especially the Tuna Steak. Highly recommend

We went for Sunday Lunch, 3 of us with 2 dogs and we sat outside . Could not fault anything about the food, drinks or service, everything was absolutely amazing, best Sunday lunch out we have ever had.

Excellent experience early on a Friday evening in summer holidays. We were 4 adults and 2 children and all of the staff were friendly and prompt with service. The food was great and really good value. Garlic bread made with wild garlic, home made onion...

Without doubt, the best Sunday lunch we have had in any pub/restaurant. The place itself is lovely that's before even mentioning the youngsters who make up the serving staff. What a great bunch. Then there's the food. Oh lord. Roast turkey with all the trimmings....

Excellent old pub with character. Comfortable restaurant area. We had fish and chips for dinner, which was not the best. Minted mushy peas and home-made style tartar sauce a nice touch but the fish did not appear to be as fresh as it could be....

Wonderfully located pub in a quiet corner, right next to the river, where you can take the kids to look at the water's edge. Food was very tasty and staff knowledgeable on allergens.

Excellent . Just lucky to get a table but glad we did. Lamb excellent, chicken great. Pudding, wine , and beer all good. Lovely welcome and staff do an amazing job. Thank you.

Beautiful setting both inside and out in the beer garden. The stream running past is bubbling and has a huge canopy to seat in if its raining . The food was delightful, very tasty and very well presented. Toilets were immaculate and the staff were...

A real gem of a pub, we holidayed nearby and had the Sunday roast which was perfection plus a meal on our last night which equally as good, we did also end up popping in most nights for a couple of pints, this is in...

We went on a busy Saturday night however when we got there we were welcomed by the lovely Hannah who very quickly showed us to our table and took our drinks order! Fab choices of beers, I had the quest ale which was very nice!...

Went here for Sunday lunch today with family. Delicious food in a lovely covered seating area, next to very pretty river. I only live 30 minutes away and didn't know this place existed. We will definitely be back!

Brilliant experience, food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. Will be coming back soon and will definitely recommend!

Went for a friend’s birthday meal last night, and was a lovely experience, the service was quick and very helpful and they gave clear guidance for food allergies or dietary requirements. The food itself was very high quality and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend!

We went for a meal last night with a group of friends and couldn’t fault it!! The food was cooked perfectly and all the staff were very attentive. Will definitely be visiting again!

We visited this restaurant on the recommendation of others. What an absolute mistake this proved to be. The coke we were served was completely flat. The food was possibly the worst steak I have ever eaten, including the chips being very overcooked. At several points...

Loverly food and it tasted great I had a burger and it was one of the best I’ve ever had . My wife had a steak and she said it was amazing . And the deserts well they were heaven . Great place great food...

The food was fantastic. The management and staff were outstanding especially Morgan. And the setting couldn't be any prettier.
