The New Overlander in Pembrokeshire

If you are somewhat fed up of trying to find a table in an overcrowded Tenby pub or restaurant at this time of the year, then why not take a short drive towards Pembroke, next to Penally station, you'll find The New Overlander pub and restaurant. It will be worth the drive. Simple, yet delicious home cooked meals, well presented by accommodating and welcoming staff. If you are not the driver, try one of their many cocktails to conclude your visit.

Hi all, We had a meal with you last night (first time) I had the pork belly, Mum had the chicken and mushroom pie. We came back again at short notice today for Sunday lunch I had pork, extra gravy and carrots, Mum had a beef dinner. Kudos to you, great customer service from the team on in the afternoon yesterday and the team who took over in the evening and again today. You were accommodating to our needs, and the food was absolutely beautiful. We'll be back, thank you very much. Ashley

Brilliant stay here. Cheerful and welcoming host, spotlessly clean, good breakfast, plenty of it and well presented. Would be very happy to visit again.

Visited today for Christmas Dinner. The service was not great. They were very understaffed and we waited 1 hour between courses. The food wasn't what was expected for £80 per adult. The soup had a strand of hair through it. The meat was tough and difficult to carve. The mashed potato was packet mix. The homemade Yorkshire puddings resembled pebbles from the beach in texture. The cranberry sauce arrived in the bases of the mince pie's that were served later. The sticky toffee pudding had no sticky toffee sauce whatsoever, just a brown sponge and beige custard that tasted like water. However, there was a lovely light refreshing shop bought ice-cream served on the top. The cheese board was small slices of various cheeses that had to be shared, with an assortment of 12 crackers served with 3 grapes between 5 people. All whilst sat in the cold with the ambience of two dogs barking throughout a 3hr 30 minute sitting of waiting for meals. The type of meal you would expect at your local greasy spoon near the local family shopper of a boarded up council estate. I am sorry I expected a little more than what was served. The manager was not very approachable and did not like negative feedback. There was no apology, however she did reduce the price. Edible, if you have you're own teeth.

Called in without booking, waited 45 mins for a table but was well worth the wait! Staff were all fab, especially the 2 young girls helping out the waitress! Food was great, I thoroughly enjoyed my braised steak while my husband passed comment several times on how good his chicken & feta was! A well run, family business that I would love to return to again & again

Upon arrival, the young ladies behind the bar made us very welcome, asked us to find a suitable table, then they would come to us, for table service. We had a infant with us, so required a high chair, this was sorted very efficiently. The ladies came over to us with suitable menu's and requested if we would like any drinks to begin with. These were ordered, then we chose our food. Order was taken, food arrived in a short time and we all found it very delicious. Welcome, service, ambiance, staff were of a high standard. We'll done!!

Look good from the outside was recommended. Granted they havent been for a while. We booked for Sunday lunch. Very busy. Very disappounted with the meal. 4 strips of lamb bit chewy 2 boiled pots 2 roast pots hard carrots asked for some peas approx 2 dessertfuls. cauliflower cheese and broccoli. Swimming in gravy. Not cheap either. Sorry we wont be returning

Don't bother horrible food under cooked and a very rude manager! Vegetables were rock hard and beef was blood soaked.

Came last year. Returned this year and had 3 evening meals during our fortnight holiday. The food each time was exceptional. The belly pork was top of my husband's list of favourite meals. We will return when in the area.

Outstanding food,reasonably priced,great staff who managed to fit us in without booking, will definitely be going back!!!! thanks guys

Friends booked for 8 of us for 2.30 to 3 we were the first to arrive, we were asked if it was just drinks we said there was a booking for 8 to which we had a frosty look and eyes rolling, obviously the staff were not aware until they looked at the book!! The rest of the party arrived including the person who had booked, no table ready for us and the attitude of the waitress was disgusting.we we’re shown to a table not made up, one of the waitresses started to set it round us. We ordered food but one of the waitresses had such an attitude as if it was our fault they weren’t prepared for us, who ever is in charge certainly need to teach these girls manners and not to pull faces at their customers as they walk away!!! On the plus side the food was lovely complement to the cook but unfortunately wouldn’t go again which is a shame, we are local and not tourists and neither should be treat with rudeness!!!

We were just passing and looking for somewhere to eat with four adults, three children and a dog! Lovely dog friendly place. Great service. Good value for money and cheaper than eating in Tenby itself. We all had really tasty meals, delicious desserts and can’t fault the place. Toilets were clean and modern. Baby changing facilities and high chairs available. Would definitely recommend and stop here for food again.

We have just had a night stay and it was truly enjoyable. We had a lovely warm welcome, service was excellent lovely staff. Our room was lovely and clean with a beautiful view a bonus waking up to sun rise. The food was outstanding too. We will most definitely be returning soon.

Had an evening meal here on two nights while staying in Penally. The food was very good and the service friendly and efficient. Thank you to Karen and the girls for making our visits so enjoyable.

Fantastic hotel stayed 1st October with my wife abd friends staff couldn't do enough for us. Food was fantastic all home made abd onion rings looked like they was on steroids. Rooms was really nice great sleep breakfast was perfect after a heavy night. Wife lost her Pandora bracelet drooped out if bag rung hotel and cleaners found it and they going to post it back to her. Highly recommend a stay and we will be returning.

After walking our dog on the beach we thought we’d sit outside and have a bite to eat and a cold drink. I walked into the bar to order, there was a couple eating at a table in the corner and a lady on the phone who obviously worked there. A bell on the bar said ring for service so I did. A lady came out from the back and asked if she could help????? I asked for menus and was told they didn’t take food orders until 12, it was 11.45 so I didn’t think this was a problem so said we’d have a drink and wait. Oh no I couldn’t order a drink and was told I’d have to come back when there were more staff in at 12!!!!!! Really??? That woman couldn’t serve 3 diet cokes????? Totally ridiculous and although we have a caravan just up the road at Lydstep we won’t be back. Strange and totally poor service which even now I can’t quite understand

Decided to try here tonight as only staying up the road and really glad we did the food was fab I opted for the braised steak in red wine which melted in my mouth hubby had homemade steak pie and that is just what it was came served with vegetables and either chips or new potatoes excellent value for money, the staff really nice especially the young lady who served us looking forward to dining there tomorrow night as well

Menu has a good range of choices without being too extensive. Food is freshly cooked to order, both Dinner and Breakfast.

Called in , on the of chance of some lunch as it was very busy in the centre of Tenby. So we drove out of the centre and found this gem. We had 2 dogs with us , it was very warm so we sat...

We decided to visit this pub as in walking distance from where we were staying. We should have walked away when we saw the 3 out of 5 food standard rating. The waitress that took us to our table had a black sweatshirt that looked...

Came for dinner here with 3 adults and two children. Upon entering the restaurant we were told to find a seat, but were left unattended for maybe 10-15 minutes. The blonde manager, who was fairly abrupt and I can only imagine was related to the...

We were recommended the New Overlander on our recent visit to Penally and we weren't disappointed. Lovely home cooked freshly made food. We had the prawn starter which was gorgeous followed by the belly pork and steak pie both were cooked to perfection. The meal...

This is a restaurant for food conessours. A smallish choice of specialist dishes. All meals are freshly prepared - no heated up prepared stuff. Table orders only taken when the chef is ready to prepare hence the wait when pre meal drinks can be savoured....

Enjoyed our meal here. Staff were friendly and looked after us and the food was all very nice (fish and chips, veg lasagne and salmon)

I had booked here well before travelling to Tenby as we were staying in Penally. It was walkable from our B &B and only two pubs nearby in walking distance. This was a huge step up from the other option we tried the previous evening....

My husband and I booked into the The New Overlander on Saturday 25th September for 2 nights. On the first evening we were greeted by Tom and Louise. We booked a table for that evening and had a few drinks sat outside. My husband had...

My partner and I had been for a lengthy walk and were quite hungry. We noticed the establishment and thought it looked welcoming from the outside. We entered at around 1.30pm and walked to the bar. There was waiting staff talking to a customer at...

Tenby was full last week and we couldn't find anywhere to eat. We were staying in Penally and the other two pubs there were full. We tried here as a last resort and they could fit us in. We weren't expecting much but the food...

This was our second visit… Food was ok but a bit under done , the service was absolutely terrible. We sat for about 10 min after arriving without drinks, food came soon after but not enough veg( we were 3 and had to ask for...

What a fantastic little place. The food is delicious and fresh and the service is excellent. I dined with my parents and my nearly 2 year old and 4 year old and they were so accommodating. Freshly made pizza for my children and fast service....

Very lucky to get a table anywhere in this area at this time of year for a quick lunchtime meal. Although this premises is next to the busy coast road they have made the outside look very pretty. The meal was home cooked with fresh...

We had three meals: the braised steak, the sirloin steak and the burger. All were delicious. The chips were home made. The braised steak was particularly magnificent, it melted in your mouth.

We walked in Friday night looking for a table/for food. Service was lovely. Food was well presented and tasty. Highly recommend, home cooked pub food.

Cant fault this place for value and service, really good. Six of us all had different meals on saturday and we all enjoyed. Nothing fancy but home cooking done well. I absolutely loved the home cooked chips. We will come back

Great little find for a quick lunch. We had steak and ale pie, rump steak and rump baguette. All lovely, the pie especially was delicious. The waiter was new, but very friendly.

Excellent service, tasty and well presented food. Clean and welcoming. Good menu choice. Covid distancing and hygiene adhered to. Highly recommend.

We ate at the New Overlander Inn for one night, it looked like a nice menu and wasn't far from where we were staying. We were seated and the drinks order taken and told they would be back shortly to take the food order. We...

Good adherence to corvid rules. Wife had the chicken and feta cheese and I had braised beef on the first visit and salmon and beef and ale pie respectively on the second. The pie was made to order so took a bit longer but was...

So pleased to be able to go for our lovely breakfast ! Always delicious and clean , no grease anywhere on the plate.

Thought we would try the overlander as we have tried most local restaurants an fancied somewhere new. We waited 45 minutes for our meal which was a steak pie and a steak. Not worth the wait. Sinnew left in sirloin, cooked mostly blue not rare....

My wife and I called here off chance for lunch. Inside looked very quiet, so thought, let's try it. Caught the attention of a member of staff. She told me to take a menu. And someone will be with us shortly. We told her that...

If you want well cooked and well priced food home cooked food. Really nothing to criticise on the meal front and the staff were bubbly and friendly.

Through Buisness I stayed at the New Overlander Inn in Penally for 25 nights. I usually stay in a Premier Inn or hotel but none were available for my stay. Lucky ME my stay turned out to be one of the best Buisness trip I...

We called in for breakfast after staying just up the road. Having had a few breakfasts in tenby before I’ve not been too impressed so wasn’t expecting too much. How wrong I was. The new overlander is unassuming from the outside but once you step...

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.We stayed during the Ironman competition and nothing was too much trouble, even giving an early breakfast and lift into Tenby to my son and the other competitors. Karen and her staff catered for our party of seven...

We visited for dinner while on holiday. The service was extremely friendly, even though the food did not excel.

6 of us descended on the Overlander (5 adults and a child). 6 left happy after enjoying good food. The service may not be as polished as you might desired but there is a good menu and the food was good.

Four of us were walking from Manorbier to Tenby along the cliff walk. At the only point where you have walk along side a road for 400 metres was this pub. As it was very hot and we still had a bit to go we...

We chose this restaurant for our first meal on arriving in Penally based on its web site. I feel the actuality was a little oversold by the site. I had mussels for a starter that were obviously reheated. The rest of our meals were better,...

A lovely friendly clean spacious place.Lovely hot power shower after long walk. Staff chatty friendly. Food very tasty.

Had a lovely meal here with family earlier this week. Staff were polite and friendly and couldn’t have done more if we asked. Prices were reasonable and in line with other restaurants in the area. Would have given 5 stars but felt the kids meal...

Been asking lots of people in the area for recommendations to take my Gran for dinner. Not one person recommended this place and just was driving past and decided to pop in to look at the disabled access for her. There are no steps, so...

My husband and two kids (aged 7 and 12) recently paid a visit for breakfast. Breakfast came and went without issue but what we experienced after was totally unacceptable. We left the restaurant and waited underneath the porch outside the front door in order to...

We visited The New Overlander as a party of 9 for an anniversary meal in early August 2018. With a disabled guest, and two young children, we’d found it difficult finding somewhere that catered for everyone in the group. We booked our visit in advance,...

We had a lovely meal at the New Overlander last night. The Cajun chicken (curry) was delicious and my partner was also impressed with his Steak & Ale pie. Neither of us could resist a dessert after such a lovely meal and the sticky toffee...

Was really impressed with the place. The staff are friendly, attentive and very hardworking. Very clean, modern and the rooms are really good quality. The only slight grumble is the walls are thin so you can hear other guests but I put my headphones in...

From the moment of arrival nothing was to much trouble, lovely family and real pleasure to meet them, the room was lovely clean & perfect for our stay and the food what can I say Karen is one heck of a cook all our food...

A warm welcome, served up with beautiful steaks, belly pork with mouth watering crackling and the biggest lamb shank of all time. Followed by a wonderful selection of home made desserts, this really is a little gem.

Went for a lunchtime snack & drink to be told dogs not allowed inside very surprising as in a tourist area with constant flow of people with dogs. Ordered food for two which was mediocre, had to eat outside

We ate here twice during our week long stay and on both occasions the food was really good. For about the same price as 'pub grub' you get a really tasty meal which tastes as though it has been freshly prepared, not pre-prepared in advance....

I ate here in a party of 4 recently and it was great. Originally my husband booked for two, the other 2 joining us was a surprize to him. I called and asked for the extra seats which was no problem and explained that he...

I booked through booking.com I was more than surprised when I was told that there was a train line literally outside my bedroom window. Trains seemed to end around 10:30 pm. But I was awakened by a train coming past at 6:27 Saturday morning. It...

This is a reasonably priced hotel that does a good choice of tasty breakfasts. It is right next to the railway station to get in to Tenby and is five minutes walk from the beach so it's location is good for access to the local...

Having booked elsewhere for a party of 10 which proved disastrous we quickly called this restaurant to accommodate us. Tables were moved and we were made comfortable. Our waitress Gemma was lovely, down to earth, fun and working very hard. Our meal was tasty and...

The staff in this family run restaurant with rooms were very friendly, professional and efficient. A young couple provided theservice and prepared and cooked the food and they booth did an excellent job. Whilst we had to wait some time for our food - probably...
