We had not booked so were delighted that they were able to fit us in. They were certainly full as we heard them turning others away. We had our (small well behaved) dogs with us as the sign said they were welcome. They warned us they only had Sunday roast available and there would be a little wait and it was worth waiting for. We couldn't choose which meat to have so plumped for all 3 for £2 extra. The lunch was well presented and came with all the accompaniments for each meat (Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets, roast parsnips and roast potatoes). We ordered 1 portion of cauliflower cheese. Then cabbage, swede and boiled carrots were served separately with a jug of tasty gravy. We ate the lot - very happy customers :)

O’ what a shame; 26 years we have been freqguentinging the Portreeve Restaurant whenever we stay at Laugharne, usually 2-3 times a week. Regrettably tonight we were devastated by the food delivered, I had to send back my Sea Bass fillet because it was so overcooked, a Sea Bass fillet crispy!! They then provided a Hunters Chicken replacement, well! Microwaved, overcooked, I don’t know what!! Yes, I eat it because I wanted to eat something before leaving. My recommendations to Portreeve is to let me know, via social media or any other means when you have a chef in place who can actually live up to the Portreeve reputation. Such a shame, we have had some wonderful times and food at the Portreeve.

My wife and I had dinner here: we both had mussels to start, followed by sea bass and pork respectively. We both enjoyed the food (although we did think that at £17.95, the sea bass was a little expensive) and the service was good. All-in-all, a pleasant experience!

4 friends out for last supper of the holiday; we ignored the advice of a local who recommended another restaurant as the menu looked good, especially the fish platter and surf & turf offerings @ £41 & £36 not cheap, but hey, it was 1/2 a lobster! Table wasn’t set, no glasses condiments etc. when asking for sauces i.e french mustard (for the streak) the only option was english and a noisy fan on a side table, it wasn’t hot inside…… Waitresses we attentive and polite although when quizzed about the menu, their knowledge was sadly lacking, with the exception that the custard for the the bread and butter pudding wasn’t home made. When the mains arrived, all three lobsters were over cooked and rubbery, the garlic butter dressing lacked any flavour, the peas salad & side salads were limp; overall poorly presented. We had to ask for wine which arrived after the mains, although both the white and red were pleasant. We were asked if everything was Okay, as a group of friends no one wanted to make a fuss by returning food, although afterwards we all agreed it was a poor meal. Would we eat there again, after spending £180 for the four of us, no starters, one standard priced main, two desserts and no bottles of wine (3 glasses) definitely not!!

After a brisk walk we were ready for lunch and fortunately had booked that morning as it was certainly busy. Staff were friendly and food excellent and in these inflationary times we had main course and drink for under £20 each. There was a bit of a wait for orders to arrive but that suited us to wind down after that walk! Highly recommended.

This is a friendly relaxed pub offering good value food. We enjoyed a very good Sunday lunch which was a good sized portion for the price charged which was £13.50 per head. The beef was very well cooked and the pork also excellent. The cauliflower cheese was very nice as were the roast potatoes and there was plenty of gravy. We were too full for a dessert but my wife enjoyed a nice glass of Portuguese red. It would have been nice if there had been a local beer on offer but other that the service was good and the pub busy.

Honestly, I have never been more horrified by the way I was treated at this restaurant.We sat down, orders taken, waitress's LOVELY! Cannot fault the waiting staff at all. 2 meals for £15 - bargain. £5 extra for steak (which was massive no issue there) £6 extra for salmon, this is where my story begins. We were asked how our meals were by the waitress, I advised her they were delicious however we felt that the extra £6 for the salmon was steep as the salmon was about the size of a fish finger (tasted nice but not worth the extra cost). She thanked us for the feedback.From across the room I could see her telling the Female Manager our feedback, manger then - I can only describe it as storming - stormed towards the table and aggressively said "Are you kidding me?" Certainly not the way to address a MINOR comment to a paying customer. No matter what I said I was attacked with swearing and comments like "You clearly have never worked in hospitality" (one of us owned a restaurant).She stormed away from the table and into the kitchen.After our meal we just wanted to leave. We paid IN FULL and left the waitress staff a LARGE TIP - as this was not a reflection on them.2 of us sharpish-ly left the restaurant as we were angry about the way we were spoken to by a manager. Outside we were subject to staring and finger gestures from their friends in the bar, through the window that the managers had been drinking with. The other 2 collected there things. As they were leaving, they were ESCORTED out by the male manager, told to get out and never come back. The male manager then made his way to me outside, took off his mask and began shouting in my face. I felt threatened and disgusted! We were then told to F*** OFF back to England!!! We are from Pembrokeshire - We're local and are absolutely appalled that restaurant owners in a tourist hot spot are this rude to ANYONE this way let alone potential holiday goers when our economy relies on tourism!! Shame on you!

We were surprised by having to go to through the busy bar (high spirits there) to go to and out of the restaurant area. The staff wore masks , so maybe they were smiling underneath, but on the whole they were fairly brusque and not too bothered about covid regulations. The food was very underwhelming compared with the reviews we had read. It was pub grub: easy grills and the rest freezer to microwave or boil in a bag.

We had a really nice meal here, the waitresses were really friendly and the food was tasty and delivered at a good pace. The chicken curry and beef bourginough went down very well.However, this social distancing and overall management of COVID was terrible!! They did have antibacterial gel available but it was more the friendly staff that showed little training. None of the menus were being wiped before or after being used, none of the staff wore masks and were working in close proximity, as they cleared the table they were literally leaning across us causing us to have to move sharply back. Although it is awkward, a simple request for us to hand them plates to keep as much social distancing going as possible is not much to ask.As I say though, the staff were lovely but management need to have a look at the specific training for how they manage customers safely for both themselves and the customer.P.s. sausage/nuggets chips and beans should not be the only options for children in the midst of a health (as well as COVID) pandemic. Even spag Bol would help

We ordered 4 meals which took around 45mins to arrive. The burger was good, but the cod was solid and looked like it was ready 40 mins earlier and had been left under the heater Lamp. Should have returned it, but didn’t want to wait another 30 mins for a replacement. Other dishes ok. Certainly over priced for the quality. Would sooner cook in the caravan, but you might be ok eating here if you order the right dishes that the kitchen can cook. Too many options on menu I would say rather than concentrating on consistent quality.

We were not disappointed. Beautiful fresh and so tasty. We have been for a few meals in the area this was by far the best. Children’s menu wasn’t massive but we selected and adult meal which was spilt between them on separate plates. Staff were lovely and friendly with the kids and talking about themselves . Lovely setting reminded us of french travels as the cell tower rang for 8pm and the painted buildings.We would recommend this to anyone.Ps puddings looked amazing but we couldn’t fit any in.

After visiting here a number of times in the past and it always being such a good atmosphere, great food and great service we was awful disappointed when we returned this weekend that the new management have ruined the place! The atmosphere have gone, the menu is awful and the food is a absolute disgrace. Myself my partner and grandparents food was all equally terrible my grandmother sent hers back straight away as she couldn’t even cut in to the gammon, the chips were from a smelly deep fat fryer that haven’t been cleaned for ages the chips were black! Not only that but my Granch found a battery, yes a battery! Floating around in his dish, we was so lucky he didn’t swallow or choke on it it could of been a lot lot worse! Especially if it was a child, the waitress who have been there with the previous management was very apologetic even though it wasn’t her fault, the chef or owners didn’t have any morals to come out and apologise. We went from there feeling ill and disgusted! Only thing that’s stayed the same there is the lovely happy waitress! Other than that it’s appalling! We come to llaugharne through the year and will never be stepping foot in that place again!

We visited The Portreeves for the first time under the new management. Having eaten here many times before, we were apprehensive about whether the high standards of food and service had been maintained. There were some new choices on the menu but we were very pleased to find that the food was of the same high quality that is synonymous with The Portreeves. Maintaining the quality has, no doubt, been helped by retaining some of the key staff, including the same chef. We ordered the beef bourgignon and broad bean & mint risotto, both dishes were delicious and we look forward to our next visit.

The staff were really friendly and good and our mussles were excellent. However the main courses were bland and disappointing. The vegetables were also plain, boring and fogettable. There wasn't anything bad enough to complain about and maybe we were just unlucky but we did not want to return.

We were staying in Laugharne for a week, and ended up eating at The Portreeve's Tavern on 3 evenings. Why - because of the quality of the food, plus the excellent service. The daily specials included many different fish options, but I would recommend the Sea Bass. Another evening I tried the Surf and Turf - not my usual choice, but turned out to be my favourite meal with a mixture of Rump Steak, King Prawns and Scampi.

A great find, we rang to book a table to be told they couldn’t do anything at the time we wanted but 5 minutes later rang back to say they had managed to find a table which we were very impressed by. It was a busy night but the food was great, the staff were very friendly and its dog friendly, we will be returning again next time visiting that area. A very extensive menu with so many great dishes it was difficult to choose what to have all sounded nice.

Quite by chance having found that our chosen restaurant in Tenby had some issue and was closed we fell across this restaurant and we enjoyed the whole experience so much that we booked again for the following night which we enjoyed as much. Very friendly staff in the family run restaurant and particularly the owner who is somewhat of a character!

My husband and myself always go to the Portreeve when we stay in Laugharne the staff are friendly and the food is outstanding as always, we’ve recommended friends to try there who have and they praise it highly as well. Would recommend trying it as it’s a 100% fantastic place to dine

We stayed in the village for the week and on the last night for a treat went for a meal, and we are glad we chose Portreeve, the host was so nice and welcoming and quite an entertaining guy, going to everyone and making sure all was good for everyone and having a good chat with people.

What a restaurant and even better service,especially if you want to be treated like a third class citizen,my wife and her mum and dad were unfortunate enough to attempt to have a meal at this restaurant,we asked what the menu was and was told it was a carvery with soup to start,as we had eaten earlier we was that hungry and my wife’s parents suggested we had there soup,good idea we’ll that’s what we thought.

To celebrate Father’s Day, we booked a table at this popular little tavern in the lovely village of Laugharne. We have been before and the team there, did not disappoint. Stan the host was on top form and my son thought he was amazing. There was an issue with another customer who was rude and was asked to leave. We carried on, it was all handled well.

Used to come here years ago when run by the previous owners. First visit under this ownership. Meal ok but when you spend £16 or £17.00 on a plate of food you do expect fresh vegatables, not supermarket frozen carrots. I think that's poor.

Stumbled across this hidden gem (behind the clock tower). We were looking for Sunday lunch. Not normally a fan of a carvery lunch but this was exceptional. Every part was like home cooking. The choice of 3 meets was delicious.

We went for dinner on a Sunday night after a day travelling. There were not many restaurants open so our choice was limited. We were shown to a table in an area that had a few diners but it all looked a bit tired! Our waitress was friendly and brought drinks quite promptly. We chose the lamb shanks and my husband had the special of the day which was a chicken breast with mushroom tarragon sauce. Everything was ok but not great. The veges were a bit limp and the chicken a bit dry.

We had a fantastic evening at the Portreeve Tafarn. Wonderful hosts and gorgeous food. Highly recommend this hidden gem! The steak was the best I’ve eaten in years! Delicious Brecon gin as well! We all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and would love to come back next time we visit!

We visited The Portreeve last weekend for Sunday lunch. The restaurant was full of character and the staff were all really friendly. The carvery lunch was great with a choice of 3 meats and loads of veg and accompaniments. Chocolate fudge cake had to be taken home with us as we were too full to eat it at the time!

Piatti abbondanti ma non di grandissima qualità, servizio che lascia un po' a desiderare. Uno dei pochi locali aperti della città.

Having been to Laugharne a few times we had driven past ‘the Portreeve’ without seeing it tucked away; on this occasion it had been recommended so we parked (free) down by the sea and walked up. So pleased that we did as the staff were delightful, happy surroundings and a delicious meal reasonably priced.

If you like a nice beef steak then look no further! The chef buys his meat from a small Swansea butcher and it’s both great quality and well cooked at an amazingly low price! It’s a pub as well as a restaurant so whether you are looking to eat or just have a beer, it’s great! The only downside is that Doombar is the only ale they keep, you would expect a local welsh beer.
