as a family we have been coming here for the last 40 years and seen the pub ebb and flow dependent on the owners. New owners have just come on board so went for supper hopeful of an upturn from the previous. Having been for lunch (somewhat overpriced for what it was) we went for supper where the food was first class. very welcoming staff who went out of their way to welcome us. If they could get the lunch menu right, then the sailors should return to it's glory days. Good luck to the new owners, we will be back to support.

We are staying in Newport and this recently reopened pub was recommended. It sits right by the sea and was very busy for a Wednesday lunchtime. Friendly, welcoming staff and the pub is dog friendly with a large garden overlooking the cove. We had mussels, lobster in a sourdough roll and chips, all of which was delicious. The mussels were some of the best I’ve had for ages. Heartily recommend this place and congratulations to the staff for producing such fabulous food.

The Sailors Safety is set in an amazing location right next to the sea, and is now under new ownership The service was efficient and very friendly. We had really gorgeous food & wine, then watched a beautiful sunset. Shortly afterwards we went outside with a glass of Penderyn and watched the harvest moon rise. A truly wonderful experience.

Found this restaurant after exploring the local coastline on a Dogwalk. We received good customer service and delicious food. Burger was cooked to perfection, the chunky chips were the best I’ve tasted in a long while and the lobster prawn is highly recommended. Very dog friendly. We will return when next in the area. 😊

This this spot for a walk and lunch because of this pub. Looked online couldn't find a website or info directly related to the pub. Thought we'd pop along anyway. We arrived at the peach at 11am, and popped into the pub before we headed to the beach. We talked to somebody who said reservations were done v online but if we came back at 12 we'd probably get a table. Which is exactly what we did, however, we did not get a table and found staff rude and unhelpful. We left about an hour later, with most of the restaurant still filled with empty tables. Very disappointed, and would not recommend.

Lunch with friends at the Sailors Safety returning to its original name. Simple menu but nicely done. Fish and chips had nice well cooked hake and chips well cooked. Humus tasted good but less well presented. Staff welcoming and charming. Beachside location is very pretty. There is quite a lot of car parking but it’s a bit haphazard. New decor is simple but the whole thing is very relaxed. It was busy especially outside.

Wow! After walking around the island, we stopped for a fantastic lunch. My mussels in a creamy sauce with triple, proper triple cooked chips was the best dish I’ve had for ages. My husband had the beef which he loved. Perfect spot perfect food

There's no doubt that The Old Sailors is in desperate need of a refresh, as it's a dated collection of nautically themed paraphernalia. The place had no character to entice potential customers, and the music positively blasting out inside (Kings of Leon, and other fringe rock) had to have been chosen for the benefit of the staff rather than the customers. We left without spending any money.

Have had good meals there in the past and were looking forward to a pint and fish and chips after after a walk and made a special journey to visit today. We checked on the website and Facebook page to confirm that they were open. Pub was closed even though there was a sign on the door that said open Tuesday to Sunday. Lots of people around looking for a drink and meal. Very disappointed.

A lovely coastal walk from Newport. Coming off Dina’s Head was the welcoming site of the Old Sailor. Outside seating only, but we managed a lovely burger, vegan chilli and a couple of Bluestone pints in between showers. James’s taxi took us back in 10 mins after walking 3 hours to get there! All worth it.

Yummy lunch with fabulous views. We called in advance and booked a table. We were very lucky as it was a warm October day so we sat outside. Service is super friendly and efficient. All COVID friendly. They’re operating a different menu and opening times than is displayed so I’d recommend calling. I was looking forward to the seafood linguine but it wasn’t on the menu so 3 of us opted for the Atlantic prawn salad. My other half went for the lasagna. Wow amazing portion sizes and super fresh. It was delicious. The best new potatoes I have tasted in a while. The only negative for me was the lack of a finger bowl, but to be honest I could have asked for one. Would definitely recommend a visit/be going back.

We booked to eat at this pub last Saturday night and we weren't told when making the booking that we could only eat outside (19:00 booking) this appeared to be the case for some other dinners who were sat in the beer garden too. I do appreciate a reduced menu, but £14 for a very mediocre burger that went cold very quickly as a very disappointing. Also on the Sunday afternoon we did the Dinas Island walk which starts and finishes at the pub, on completing the walk we had a very nice pint in the beer garden as it was a scorcher to find that it closed at 15:00 - the beer garden was full and people kept coming - i really don't now how money the pub turned away and most likley one of the last hot weekends of the year. I thought it may have been a licence thing but was told they always close at 15:00 and would reopen on Tuesday.Overall very disappointed.

Just to flag that the Old Sailors is only doing sandwiches, soup, etc for lunch at the moment as it's quiet. We'd been looking for a good seafood place, liked the sound of what we read and neither its website nor Tripadvisor said its menu had altered. Luckily we rang first before making the trip so didn't bother. They didn't say whether the lunch menu would be any different at weekends but best check if you're thinking of going.

The Old Sailors is in an idyllic spot right next to a lovely little beach and right on the coastal path that leads to Dinas Head and beyond. We’ve eat here a number of times and the welcome is always warm. There is a good menu which isn’t too pretentious or fussy. The prices are a tad high but then no more so than locally in Newport. All in all well worth a visit. I would recommend booking ahead at busy times.

Well it takes some finding but well worth it. Any closer to the sea and you'd be in it. Obviously a great view is guaranteed, friendly staff is the next impression then comes the food which was excellent.

We visited on two occasions at the beginning of Sept, on the first the service was slow and very disorganised. We were nearly put off by a member of staff who was at the bar and very agitated venting that someone had annoyed her and she might go home. This is the cleaned up version I have omitted the profanities. We decided to ignore this and ordered food to eat out in the garden. The food was brilliant fresh well cooked and very tasty. While we were eating a male member of staff we assumed in the kitchen also then kicked off swearing and throwing things around, everyone in the garden and restaurant could hear every word. I'm no prude but there were young children there and not what you want to hear when eating your Sunday lunch.We again visited later in our holiday and again found the service staff slow and disorganised. We queue at the bar for nearly fifteen minutes to be informed that unless we ordered really quickly we would not be served food due to all the bookings although at the time the restaurant was empty and there was only a few people in the garden.I hope our experiences were a glitch in a premises that gets such good reviews and the food we did have was lovely.

Staying at nearby Dinas Cross for the week we wanted to find a nice place ot eat by the coast and stumbled across the Old Sailors when out on a walk on the coastal path. We had a beer in the lovely garden looking out over the bay that afternoon and booked a table for an evening meal - shame evening openings are limited. The food was great and farily priced. The mussels were tender and very tasty as was the hake special and fushy starters. It was so nice we booked for a second evening's meal later in the week, which again was really good quality food - the burger had various cuts of tasty beef and several trimmings. What really made the Old Sailors stand out for us was its setting - just behind the beach in a beautiful small bay, looking out to the lights of Fishguard and with the sun setting across the bay. The other clincher was the service/hosting - on the three occasions we visited we were looked after by four different staff, all of whom were friendly and, despite the pub being busy most of the time, had time to share a few words with us. The landlord - Adam I think - was really charming and positive. Just a shame we were only in Pembrokeshire for a week!

Suggestions to the owners of the Old Sailors, Pwllgwaelod. 1. Take down all your negative signage. It creates an unwelcoming vibe. 2. Open up. On a regular basis (particularly when the sun is shining and the beach is full of holiday makers).

I booked a table for 4 Tues afternoon for Wed evening. We had intended to do a walk before we went but it was more like a windy Oct evening than August so we had arrived early. Then we found out there was no booking under our name but they weren't too busy so fit us in. It transpired that we had been booked in for the following evening for some odd reason. The staff were brilliant and our order was taken early so we could be served as close as possible to our booked time.

Stopped off for lunch after walking the Dinas Island loop (which is stunning on a clear day). This place looks nothing from outside but serves up some excellent food. Sea bass special was delicious.

It looked like it was getting really busy as we left and people being told 1 hour to wait for food so timing is important!

Not sure there's another pub restaurant with such a great location on The beach virtually. I was intrigued by the responses from the pub to the 'terrible' reviews here. Give them a read for a laugh.

Had lunch here last week [4 adults and 2 children] after walking round Dinas Head to work up an appetite. It's the perfect lunch stop after this walk! 4 not 5 star as quite a few things on the menu had sold out [12.30pm table], but as explained this was because they had a mad few days with the weather and were trying to catch up. The options we had were fantastic - sea bass fillets, cajun burgers [properly spicy], ploughmans and the spicy bean vegy dish which was amazing [so many vegy dishes lack flavour]. We ate outside and the service was all very good. We will be back again next year!

Having a receipt timed at 12:17PM and getting food at 1:35PM after reminding the (rather surly) waitress that we were waiting was not the treatment we were looking for. When it came, the ploughman's lunch had ALL the things which we had asked not to have on the plate, and the linguine had probably been flashed in the microwave.

They do excellent fish here but fancied the home made beef curry and it was really good together with a glass of thatchers draught cider. The sweet was delish, eton mess and the barman - with long beard - was just ace. Nothing was too much trouble even though he was rushed off his feet. Him alone would make me revisit.

Not particularly busy for a Friday evening, there were probably another 16 diners (we were in a group of 4) , but restaurant is down a road to the beach and a sat nav would probably be required. A quaint family run business, probably a couple, well stocked bar, and friendly service with enjoyable food probably a bit on the expensive side at £85.00 total which included a few drinks.

Great to see The Old Sailors still thriving and we all enjoyed our lunch there last week. Usual nice selection on the menu all cooked fresh to order. Stunning views from the restaurant and a great atmosphere. It won't be long before we are back again.

We booked ahead at this picturesque spot on the coast path despite mixed trip advisor reviews.

My husband and little boy visited here the weekend and had a snack. It was really lovely. So much so that we attempted to have a lunchtime meal Wednesday. My little boy was asleep in his pushchair. We asked fir a table and was told, 'sorry babies are not allowed!!' but we could eat in the bar area. My husband replied he's asleep??

I wish that we were paying better attention to the time because we were so entranced by the cliffs and the ocean that we were drawn to the beach and by the time we made it over to the restaurant we were about 20 minutes too late to order food. The staff were friendly and the restrooms outside were very clean. Hopefully next time we will be able to enjoy a meal at this wonderful restaurant by the sea.

After a stunning walk around Plas Dinas... what better way to finish than a pint and bite to eat... perfect location. A wide variety of dishes available from sandwiches to lobster.

Well worth walking to this TRULY MAGICH Hidden Gem on The Very Best Coastline in The World. Very simply just sit back and Marvel with a drink and something to eat and APPRECIATE that these places are PRICELESS and we NEED to preserve and support them! and PRAISE them!

In the best sense, this place surprises! Very hidden away unless you are walking the coast. Driving round coast saw there was a pub in this remote cove and headed there. Very modest looking but very warm welcome! Lovely and generous snacks and good drinks. Menu is imaginative. Not the cheapest but well worth a visit! Also great not to have dogs snuffling round your feet!

What is better than being on a secluded beach on a summers day. Exactly, one with a great pub/restaurant hidden in the dunes. Good ale good food and friendly service. Get a table outside, if weather permits, and relax to the sound of the sea.

We love this local pub and hope the new managers make a success of it. We have eaten here and the food was nice pub grub but we will try the roast as they are getting great reviews. Our only criticism is that since the pub has been refurbished it really lacks warmth and ambience. The lighting is very bright and no pictures on the walls or lamps - it is no longer a cosy place you would sit for hours. Before they opened they had lovely hanging baskets too but not sure what happened to them.

As always good, food and coffee is excellent. When i was going to London every day, they wore the place to go for me, always fresh and never disappoint me with coffee.

I have watched this place get progressively worse over the years. I "used to" buy a large amount of selection boxes for friends and families but now take my custom elsewhere. First of all they seem to employ obnoxious, rude and unhygienic staff with Napoleon complexes as a standard. Second, The place is getting progressively dirtier to the point I have had hair in my selection box and I am sure I saw something verminous scuttle under a table on one visit. Thirdly, The whole covid thing gave everyone a chance to be scared of cash. Personally i like cash and have never been scammed on my cards... because i use cash. Now all the restrictions are lifted. One of the staff members loudly and arrogantly refused my legal tender as i attempted to buy a selection box (is that even legal?) and seemed very pleased not to take my money. I have never seen a business model that doesn't want to take money? But I guess they can have their donut and eat it.

Been to this Costa a few times and usually staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately today (24/11/24) whoever the dark haired girl with an Eastern European type accent was, who was making the coffees around 12pm, completely spoiled our visit. Not only did she get our order wrong, she was rude, dismissive and was heard snapping at her colleagues and complaining that she’d ‘not had any sleep and was not in the mood’. The other workers appeared to be treading on eggshells around her. I hope the manager sees this and has a word with her. To the poor girl on the till taking orders - you did a great job despite almost losing your head when you were trying to work as a team and make sure our order was right.
