The Royal George in Pembrokeshire

Obviously a locals pub . Went in for Sunday lunch and this could have been way better . Portions sizing was not great and although the separate vegetables were hot the rest of the meal was cold . Why do people serve hot food on to cold plates . More vegetables were needed as we looked around and we got nearly the same as a table of two we were 6 adults :( stunning views outside . Like I said could have been way better £11:95 for a Sunday roast …

This is a great locals pub with a warm welcome. Don't let the exterior fool you nor the slightly haphazard tables inside. Well kept ale. Often has live local musicians performing too which is a real treat. Would be great to see the pub in the summer months as there is a HUGE roof terrace with great view.

Best pub. the staff are very welcoming and friendly . Called in on a Sunday and had a blast. Will be back

Just dropped by for drinks first in the terrace and then inside. Good value, very friendly and a mix of locals and holidaymakers. Food menu looked good but we didn’t eat. Very dog friendly which was a bonus for mutley.

We went here for a roast meal and ended up with a boiled meal served on a paper plate. Everything was boiled (including the meat!!!) and flavourless and the service was terrible. 0/10. Never again.

Stayed here on many occasions,always had a lovely welcome from both staff and owners who go out of there way to make your stay as comfortable as possible! Fab location with amazing views of St.Brides bay best in solva and you have a choice of two sun terraces,lovely food and a well used pub by the locals,great quiz nights and live entertainment,it's a must when in the area!

This is not a restaurant! It's a very run down pub that serves some food. There is no table service and your food is served up in/on take away containers. The menu is limited to steak and chips, chicken and chips and a couple of other options with chips or homemade lasagne. It was an all together a very odd experience. Don't go here for a special occasion but if you want a take away with a view then it's perfect!

Pub has lovely views from the terrace unfortunately the inside is rather tired. Paintwork needs attention and the rugs in floor were dirty. We booked for 7:30 and only half the menu was available. Whilst appreciating there are staff shortages in the area generally currently this was a bit disappointing on what seemed a concise menu anyway. Mixed grill ordered had clearly been standing a while and was not good. Fish and chips was fine. Surprised that orders were taken at bar considering covid restrictions. All in all not up to par with other pubs locally

Had a delicious Sunday Lunch at the Royal George. Great selection of veg and a jug of gravy on the side. Couldn't resist the syrup sponge and custard to follow. Lovely meal.

A very enjoyable visit earlier in the week was subsequently unfortunately overturned by a totally unreasonable and unacceptable attitude of the proprietor when a query arose over the charge of a drink which was advertised above the bar at a lower price than he charged. As a customer I was made to feel responsible for his oversight and his rudeness was to say the least ssurprising. This was despite the fact that earlier in the week he had ommited to include a round of drinks on my bill and had I not pointed it out when I settled my bill he would have been none the wiser and poorer by about £8. To add insult to injury he decided to refund me with 80p (although the advertised drink price was £1 cheaper and 2 drinks were ordered). I suggested he put this in a charity box but he just stormed off. All that was required was an apology.

Visited every night on our week in solva. It has a great outdoor space with lovely views over the bay. Nice choice of drinks. The staff were lovely. On the last night our wine bottle opener broke in the cottage we rented and the bar staff kindly Opened it for us! We will be back

Went in with my man for lunch After a Saturday morning working hard on site it was A nice place to unwind with a pint Nice and Welcoming with a nice clientele As a Transwoman I feel safe here Fresh crab sandwich’s were the dish of the day Tasted beautiful

What a lovely place! Staff were so friendly and the home made food was delicious and good value. My husband had a tasty local crab salad and I had fish and chips. The boys had home made pizzas which were so delicious that I ordered an extra pizza for myself to take home! Great little spot after a walk around the beautiful harbour.

Came here with my husband and daughter (1 year old) and were really pleasantly surprised by the food, the choice of pizza was extensive and so tasty! As a pub it’s a bit rough around the edges but the food was fantastic, servers were lovely and accommodating and the other patrons in the pub were friendly and made us feel very welcome. All really reasonably priced too!

Very tasty pub grub we love their veg/meat lasagne and pizza as well as grills and classic fish and chips.

Went in here with my family and there were also other families on here. At the bar you get your regulars drinking a chatting. On this visit there were 3 lads and a female obviously drunk and more disturbingly getting served still. All were swearing very loudly and nobody working there did a thing. Felt embarrassed as I had 2 teen girls with me but the amount of females and kids in here this was not a good ambiance. It’s a regulars pub so do not take your family in. Rough is an understatement

This is a proper locals pub. Go here if you want to have a proper pint of welsh beer and hear some local banter. We didn't eat here but the menu looked good. Limited, but good. The emphasis appeared to be on local produce.

A proper locals’ pub with a bar propped up by sturdy and sweary Welshmen. Confusingly the laminated menu on the bar lists ordinary pub food, but there’s ANOTHER menu of gorgeous pizzas laden with Gorgonzola and sun dried tomatoes and asparagus, and the chef also popped his head out to say they had fresh bass or mackerel on the specials menu. Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on with the menus, but the pizza was up there with the best I’ve ever had, the staff were really friendly, and the sweary Welshmen were nice too. Plus a high chair for our little one and water for the dog, everyone happy.

Called in for a pint and couldn’t believe there are still pubs like this, looks and smells like it ain’t been cleaned for years, the beer was not cheep and was not good. Won’t be going again.

This is a real pub with friendly locals drinking in it. As tourists we were make very welcome. The beer is good and the local fish specials are really good and excellent value for a lovely big bit of fish. The teenagers had proper pizza cooked on the pizza oven outside. This is not a restaurant or gastro pub. It is first and foremost a pub. So if it’s busy you might need to wait a bit for your pizza but it will be worth it!

Hier erlebt man ungezwungenes Kneipen-Leben und kommt in Kontakt. Der Handwerker beim Feierabend-Bier, der Pizza-Kunde, der die Pizza aus der Pappschachtel isst, die diskutierenden grumpy old men, die uralte Hündin im Korb, die Ukulele-Gruppe, die sich donnerstags trifft, um aus Spaß an der Freude miteinander zu spielen und zu singen. Da haben wir begeistert zugehört und Bier getrunken. Auf Interieur-Design, Renovierungsstand und Sauberkeit haben wir lieber nicht geachtet.

The Royal George is a traditional pub, it's like walking back in time to the good old pub days! Four adults and four children visited for Sunday lunch, which was delicious. Home cooked, with plentiful veg. Homely and very reasonably priced. Couldn't fault it! Great location too.

Couldn't believe that a pub so close to Solva doesn't open until 3pm. We weren't the only ones to get turned away at 2pm....what business sense (or rather lack of it) determines an opening time of 3pm in the afternoon? Advice to all - don't venture up the hill to the Royal George, it's not worth the trip.

Stayed in the area for a couple of days, I enjoy Solva and decided to give the Royal George a go.Ate there two nights running and had two good mealsFirst night Lobster bisque followed by fish and chips very goodSecond night Lobster bisque followed by local crab and salad again very goodThe pub was busy service was good will visit again next visit

This was the nearest pub to where we were staying in Upper Solva,it is definitely a local's pub rather than one that tourists or visitors might choose to frequent. We were made to feel very welcome and found all the staff to be very helpful. It was World Cup week and they were showing the matches so we decided to book to a dinner table to return later in the week.

We had a late Sunday Lunch (3 ish) . I think you need to book for an earlier table . Very friendly staff. Food was nice. Had a good selection of vegetables and mixed meats

Good beers and ciders, very friendly atmosphere and some tasty food, just what I needed! I chose fish and chips but almost went for the fresh bass with local Pembrokeshire new potatoes, tricky decision!

Had an amazing afternoon at The Royal George! Perfect weather, perfect place, excellent lunch and to top it all The Sun Dogs playing live, what's not to love! Wish we lived closer, it would definitely become our local. Thank you guys.

We arrived rather late after a bad train connection but were welcomed at this pub and made to feel quite welcome! Had fish and chips and Faggots and Mash which was a new dish for me (Liver meatballs, potatoes and gravy ) might describe it better!!

Haven't been recently but portions and food is good. Beers have a good choice with reasonable pricing.

This is a pub for locals although we were warmly welcomed and had a friendly chat with locals at the bar. They serve food but the menu is pretty uninspiring and the beer is fine but limited choice e.g. no pale/ golden on tap.

We've been visiting the area for a number of years and in an attempt to get away from some of the overpriced and pretentious eateries in the area paid our first visit to the George for dinner. What a revelation! A proper pub, friendly staff (and locals) and tasty, honest food. I had meatball linguine and my wife had the lasagne. Both were tasty and good value. We enjoyed it so much we went back for Sunday lunch which was pretty substantial (7 veg!) and considerably better quality and value than other pubs in the area. We'll be back!

Was in two minds as to whether to write a review as we love it here and selfishly don't want other visitors to discover it. Have been staying in Solva for over 30 years but have only been frequenting the George in the last couple of years now the kids are grown up and can buy their own drinks! It really is a 'locals' pub with loads of atmosphere and outstanding food, and I mean really outstanding food! The chef is a real find. The 'locals' are very welcoming and many are real characters. BArry and Mary are the landlord and landlady and super, and the Sunday night quiz is a must. Thanks for the hospitality, can't wait to return..,soon!

This is one of the busiest pubs with locals we visited, it definately draws a younger crowd but they were friendly enough, we met some builders, fishermen etc all willing to chat, no problem sitting on the patio at the back, amazing sea views! Beer was nice and well priced. I'd score it a 5 but we found that it needs a good clean inside and a spruce up outside, but don't let that out you off, it's well worth a visit on a nice evening. Best views in Solva??

Pizzas when they finally arrived were really good, but be prepared for a wait and a long one at that. Hence only the average rating. On ordering food with a group of friends we were told it would be a 45 min wait, which we...

visited on the recommendation of a friend and it was a lovely, friendly proper pub with a wood fired pizza oven out in the beer garden. Pizzas were good and fresh and beers were in great condition. Will definitely visit again

The Royal George is a real local pub for real local people. The patrons who frequent it are generally friendly locals and as such offer a real community pub experience unlike the other sterile tourist focussed hostileries in the village of Solva. Tourists are warmly...

Went here for an evening meal whilst staying in Solva as it was within walking distance of our accommodation. Not impressed at all. We ordered a meat pizza with extra anchovies & cod & chips. We waited & waited & waited........after 45 minutes we enquired...

We came here a couple of evenings during our stay. We watched the tennis on the TV. The pub staff were friendly and so were the locals. Lovely view from the terrace. Hope to return one day

Couldn't make it past the door , in need of tidying before we venture in unfortunately, very uninviting sorry to say

What a lovely local pub x The locals that we met were very friendly indeed x Great views from the terrace and the bar staff were lovely and sorted a cab out for us to attend a barbeque later that evening x

A friend and I stopped of for a mid moring pint at this pub in the course of a coastal walk from St Davids to Newgale . The fellow serving behind the bar was helpful and friendly and the beer was fine .

2 Punkte gebe ich nur weil der Barkeeper freundlich war und der Pub Hund echt niedlich ist. Während ich auf unsere Bestellung wartete konnte ich beobachten wer so alles in die Küche rein und raus lief. Mit dem Schild 'Staff only' hatte das wirklich nichts mehr zu tun. Die Pizza war verbrannt und im Teig war viel Zucker. Der Teig hätte vielleicht zu einem Kuchen gepasst. Der Rest des Belages strotzte vor Knoblauch. Nahezu ungenießbar. Das Guiness hatte keine Kohlensäure mehr.Also ich geh hier nie wieder hin.

Our accommodation was in walking distance so we went here on the first night of our stay in Solva. As others say, it seemed to be a real pub that serves a bit of food as opposed to a pub that tries to be a restaurant. In that strange period between Christmas and New Year, it was pretty quiet and there didn't seem to be an actual menu. We all had fish and chips which we all enjoyed. The price was reasonable for what it was and the service was friendly.I enjoyed the visit.They haven't fixed the sign yet so it's still the 'Eorge.

So often, pubs for locals and pubs for tourists are two different animals. The Royal 'Eorge could come across as a local pub for local people and certainly everyone who drinks their regularly know everyone else. Solva is not a big place after all.But the 'Eorge does manage to pull off the rare trick of keeping its regulars happy but also very welcoming to visitors. My partner and I spend two evenings in the pub - one with some pub grub (an excellent steak and lovely Welsh faggots) and a second night of boisterous live music courtesy of a local blues band. The drink flowed, the revellers revelled and everyone shouted "more" at the end of the night.It probably won't be everyone's cup of tea judging by some of the snotty reviews previously written, but if a good night out is required look no further when in Solva.

Great local pub, great atmosphere and very friendly. The pub dog is brilliant and our dogs loved it there to. Thank

Having stayed in Solva a number of times we've never made it into The George so thought we'd check it out for Sunday lunch. After one pint of double dragon on the deck at the back we were forced in by the rain so went for another..well would be rude not to! By this stage the pub singer had started who was really good so feeling pretty mellow and spotting another table's lunches we took the plunge. I dont eat meat so had all the trimmings..would have been nice to have had one veg/fish alternative but hey ho they do the rest of the week so will let it go! My other half said the beef was beautiful..just fell apart. The veggies and roasties were good but yorkshires burnt on top..bit too long in the oven thats all. The puddings were a total bargain with generous ice cream portion..lemon tart and sponge pudding if I remember rightly! It could have been the beer, could have been the family with the little lad dancing to the music or just the general atmosphere and mix of tourists and locals but it all added together to make a very laid back afternoon which we enjoyed.

Stopped in after walking the coastal path and I honestly think my boots were cleaner than this place. The ladies toilets were dirty and extremely grubby, we didn't try the food but if the toilets and seating area were anything to go by. Our drinks were fine although it was a bit rowdy with a local football team, did not appreciate that there were other customers who may not want to hear their language!

To start by being positive, the staff were very nice, particularly the guy behind the bar who reserved us a table at very short notice. Unfortunately that's about the only positive thing I can think of writing. Shortly after siting down I went to the toilet, which was basically 3 blocked urinals, a condom machine and a blown up picture of a woman's behind on the wall. We waited an hour for our food to arrive, but we were hoping the food would be worth the wait, sadly it wasn't. To start with the sauces placed on the table were out of date, some as much as a year. The 3 steaks were overcooked, and were served with prebattered shop bought onion rings. It's hardly difficult to batter a few rings of onion? My partner had a pizza off their pizza menu which looked really nice and authentic, but when it came it wasn't too great at all. We turned the pizza over and you could see the polystyrene marks on the base, clearly either a bought in pizza or bought in base. We also paid £1 extra for about 10 pieces of sweet corn. The chips were also bought in and very starchy and bland. Having waiting for an hour we didn't want to send any of the food back, but told the landlady when she came over, she then took one steak off the bill with a mediocre apology. After being very disappointed with our meals we quickly paid and left... But oh wait, as we're leaving we see the pizza chef still in uniform with a fag in her mouth leaning over the pizza oven, don't think we'll be going back. It's a shame as the views are beautiful and with such a great location there is potential here. Oh yeah one more positive thing, the pub chocolate lab was friendly.

The last time I visited this restaurant it was the most wonderful cuisine......now it has turned in to a sort of pizza parlour! Not good!

Called in here from the coast path. Lovely welcoming atmosphere, recommended by locals, so need I say more? Fully of character, and you can see the sea from the beer garden.

The Royal George is a friendly welcoming pub with great staff. We had booked in advance as the place was full. All four of us had whitebait to start, fresh and nicely cooked. All main courses were different and all four were beautifully cooked and presented. Lobster Thermidor, Lamb shank, Sea Bass fillets (the largest ever) and battered cod and chips all had the thumbs up.We highly recommend the The Royal George

Had been told good things about this pub, so stopped here for a change from our usual holiday haunts, we were very disappointed. 5pm on a workday the place was full of builders, might be nice at other times, but not a good place to bring a family during this time.

Good food at a good price. Old traditional style with a comfortable feel to it. Dogs allowed and a gorgous old chocolate lab that lives in the pub. We would definitely go again if in the area.

New venture having the Pizza oven. Ate last night and thoroughly enjoyed our two pizzas. Fab staff as ever, even through a prolonged power cut. Will be back in July

Great Lobster Bisque, haddock, steak and home made puddings. Wood Fired Pizza oven outside on terrace. Large car park and near bus stop. Friendly locals and a good laugh

This could be such a brilliant place - fantastic views from the back over St Brides Bay, great first floor terrace. But it's so run down, cold and draughty. There are electric wires hanging loose, scratched tables and the paintwork is faded. The beer was good, but we decided not to eat.

Beer is brilliant and so is the staff! The fish and chips highly recommended. Live music is often played and extremely enjoyable. Well worth the visit!

Quick drink only as here to meet up with friends pre wedding, but live singer in bar was really good!

Stopped here as I didn't fancy cooking, discovered they had a Chinese menu which was a surprise, but the food was excellent. Friendly staff and good service.

great little pub friendly service my son stayed here ,was impressed with good beer live music was even better

We frequently holiday in beautiful Solva and would recommend The Royal George as the best pub in Solva. Could list the faults of the competitors but in comparison The George is spotlessly clean especially the toilets and you will never wait very long to get served even if it is three deep at the bar. It is very much a locals bar but please don't let that put you off. The bar staff are so friendly and both terraces have the best views in Solva. Barry and Mary run an excellent lively pub with good live bands. The Chinese takeaway/food menu is also excellent

We had already eaten before we come here, we decided to go for a drink in a different pub. If I hadn't have eaten before I definitely would not have eaten here. It could do with a good clean up. Dogs everywhere with which normally be no problem as I am an animal lover, but with food on the premises is a no. Dog hair all over the carpet Not good! There was a very good singer in the corner which if he was in a nicer pub we would have stayed to listen to him. The tables were sticky. It was a rugby day, so maybe its not always like that. But I'm sorry to say One drink was quite enough for us!!

Leuke sfeervolle locatie, vanop het terras zicht op kathedraal. Kaarsjes op tafel, vlotte service, lekker eten.

Called here recently, the last time was in my youth ! The beer and 'hwyl' was good, but it needs a little TLC.

It is variable, the chinese can be very good but not always on. Possibly safer bet to walk down the hill to the Ship inn.

The fish was excellent and the beer went down well. The atmosphere was lively and we enjoyed a relaxed evening with spectacular veiws.

This is a nice friendly pub in Upper Solva. The beer is fine (but beware the fake Felinfoel handpump). They do genuine home cooked meals - I had the common Welsh dish of faggots and chips which were very good, but two of our party chose cottage pie and these were still frozen in the middle when they were served. When we mentioned it they were removed and reheated properly, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. It put us off eating there again, but we still went back for the beer.

I arrived in the car park on a lovely sunny day and was warmly greeted by a table of locals. So as you can imagine I was feeling good about the place. I ordered my Soda and lime, the bar lady asked me to taste it for strength (a first ever fo me so well done). I was dissapointed to learn that they didn't do lunch that day so I decided to get the pasty for tomorrows trip to Skomer from the car. Moments before I started heading to the car the bar lady asked if would like crab salad with new potatoes. I jumped at the opportunity. I was pleased with the large plate of food presented, good quality and a reasonable price. I will return when I am next in the area, in the mean time thanks very much, you have a great vibrant place with a chirpy clientelle.

Went here with my son, partner and his daughter... it was a hoot. We arrived at the same time as a few others with their kids, who got their orders in first, so the childrens food was limited but it all was very funny as the poor waiteress had to keep coming out to tell one of the families in the pub that what they had ordered had ran out. We ended up ordering three adult meals and one child burger. I ordered the lamb shank which came with mustard mash and seasonal veg.. a mix up probably my fault with the order as I got salad with the lamb gravy, but again it just made us laugh as the poor waitress was at this point beside herself and was totally lovely as was the bar lady. My partner had the fresh dressed crab which was served in a plastic grab case.. very funny. He tripped over what he thought was a step coming back to his chair but then realised it was a big dog. who then moved under the table we were eating from. very friendly dog.Overall, maybe the food wasnt the best we had had, but the evening was one of the most hillarious of the week. The staff and dog were fantastic and it is still making me chuckle.would def recommend to visit.

We called for an evening meal during our week's stay in Solva. The bar was quite busy, seemingly mostly locals, and everybody was very friendly. The pub is very basic in style and decor, and there were a couple of dogs wandering around off the lead (one of whom was the pub dog, a friendly brown labrador). There was a leaflet in our holiday apartment advertising takeaway Chinese from the Royal George but there was no Chinese food on the menu which was a bit confusing. I went for the fish of the day - mackeral - when it came it was nicely cooked (albeit only a very small fish - two would have been better) and was served with a large salad and one new potato! The meal was perfectly acceptable and was fairly priced, my other half also thought his meal - sausage and chips - was OK. Although we're both dog-lovers (and, indeed, had our own Border Collie with us, who stayed on her lead and tucked under the table which is what she does every time we take her into a pub), we didn't feel it appropriate for the resident dog - sweet though she was - to sit between us, salivating and staring intently at our food whilst we ate - as soon as we'd finished she bustled off to the next table to subject the diners there to the same treatment! All in all, it was a perfectly adequate meal in a perfectly adequate pub, but there was nothing there that tempted us back for a second visit.

It was just before 7p.m. and I was returning from a day out in the south of the county when I spotted the George and its advert for Chinese food. Sounded unlikely but pulled in anyway. The bar was busy and having squeezed past the many drinkers at the bar I looked around to see if there were vacant tables. The tables were the least of my problems! The floor was awash with beer and 1 table had 2 grappling men lying atop it, the upper one revealing quite a lot of derrière. Enough. If the pub was like this at 7 p.m what on earth would it be like later. I turned tail and headed out smartly!

Has a great menu and the staff are really friendly. My only gripe would be that it is a bit expensive

It was fine, just fine. Nothing special, so very off putting when you had to wait to order and wait even longer to have the table cleared. And even longer to get the table wiprd!

There are about 10 meals on the menu - mostly with chips, but its all freshly made and service is quick. There is also a childrens menu.The pub has a great view at the back on the terrace as well.

Staightforward menu, utlising local produce, lots of fresh local fish. Friendly staff and good service make for a fun relaxed evening. This is not fine dining, but good old fashioned pub grub in a friendly envrionment. Great sea views from the terrance are lovely on a warm day, and the main bar is comfortable for those wet weather occasions. Very family, and dog friendly. a great place to grab god value food.

Had a great evening meal in this local pub in solva, very good beer selection.The fishpie was excellent and the faggots and chips perfectMichael
