The Royal George Hotel in Pembrokeshire

Brilliant pub and amazing landlord.

Nice small old world pub good atmosphere good choice of beers, beer garden by the river

Excellent as always. This traditional pub serves well kept Real Ale and there's an offer every Tuesday when Hobgoblin Ruby Marstons Pedigree and Wainwright Gold is only £2.70 a pint. Can't be faulted!

Good local pub. Lots of building work going on next door. Pub was very inviting and staff were friendly. Great drinks. I bet it’s lovely in the summer next to the river

The Royal George is a fantastic local pub with a wonderful view of the river that really enhances the experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and unwind. They offer a great selection of drinks to suit all tastes, and the staff are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Lovely pub with a good selection of beers and real ale. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Unfortunately, food is no longer available due to the building work going on at the back of the pub. Well worth a visit. Dog friendly.

Lovely pub and amazing location and beautiful views of the castle and river Good selection of drinks and a friendly atmosphere when we arrived. Good selection of beers with friendly staff. Well worth visiting

We visit pembroke quite often and we make sure to visit the Royal George on each occasion We always receive a great welcome from the landlord, bar staff and patrons and the ales are spot on and reasonable on price. We recommend a visit to the Royal George if you live locally or a just visiting the town.

Excellent value for money. Excellent service, friendly and welcoming. Went above and beyond for my dog. Great pub will be back

Five-Star Review: Absolutely love this place! It’s a rare gem. Being dog-friendly is also a massive bonus. Despite the building work causing disruption, the atmosphere inside remains warm, welcoming, and relaxed—thanks in no small part to the fantastic landlord. They have handled a difficult situation with professionalism, grace, and good humor, going above and beyond to make sure everyone still feels right at home. Service is top-notch, the drinks are well-kept, and all areas of the bar are spotless. Massive credit to the manager—your leadership shines through. We’ll definitely keep coming back, and recommending to all our dog-loving friends!

Called in for a birthday celebration, unfortunately the kitchen was closed because of the extensive building work next door which was clearly explained by the staff. We had a great night, friendly locals and the best real ale we've had in years. A great place to visit, ignore the disruption outside and you'll have a brilliant time. Highly recommend. Will be back.

I’m from California and I’ve been experiencing beautiful Pembrokeshire in California like weather for the past week. Anyway, I guess we had more typical welsh weather today so I decided to explore the town of Pembroke. I ended up in a delightful old pub right under Pembroke Castle on the Mill Pond (I learned that it was the second oldest pub in Pembroke). As soon as I entered I could tell it had a great atmosphere, and the friendly bar staff greeted me as soon as I walked up to the bar. They had 3 real ales on tap, and the 2 I tasted were excellent. I guess I was there for over 2 hours in all and had several conversations with locals and tourists alike. Even though they don’t serve food, I would definitely recommend a visit, and it would be even better on a sunny day with outdoor seating looking over the Mill Pond and the majestic castle.

Good local pub. Wonderful view of the river. Great atmosphere and good selection of drinks. Staff are very friendly

We turned up for lunch a little early on Wednesday of this week, having lunched here on several previous visits and enjoyed our times there. Workmen outside told us The George would be open in five minutes and there was a bold notice outside advertising food between 12 and 3pm. All good then ? So we waited some fifteen minutes and, as the hotel was still closed, and we were both hungry, I prepared to ring the telephone number on the door, with a note saying 'Phil was in the building' - when the landlord suddenly appeared at nearly ten minutes past Mid-day, looking most disheveled and none too welcoming. In fact, he was most offputting and totally unfriendly. When told we had come for lunch, he wasn't doing lunch - despite the notice of food outside. I asked if the hotel on the other side of the bridge served food at lunchtime? 'Probably', was hs curt reply. What a transformation from our previous visits. Quite why any brewery would have such a nice hotel run by such a miserable manager bewilders me? However, whilst he is in charge, I would strongly advise people to cross that bridge to The Watermans. In short, he did us a favour in finding somewhere new and, with a very friendly staff. At the same time, he lost our attraction to the Royal George for all time.

Great pub. Good location with beautiful view of the castle and river. Friendly attentive staff who make you feel welcome in a relaxed atmosphere. Good selection of drinks well worth a visit

Highly recommend, beautiful spot, tasty food which was served in a very reasonable time, service was lovely, we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

A welcoming atmosphere with good beer , other drinks of course . Food available but not tried yet . Located by the historic castle and mill pond .

Excellent food, wonderful hospitality and great views of the river. We popped in for food and were really impressed quality home cooked food.

Lovely place, dead friendly and allow dogs but they do NOT serve food all afternoon as the website says, only until 3 then start again 5:30. Response to reply: Thank you again for tip off to eat at Rowlies! Sorry we didn't make it back for a drink. The day had really gotten away with us. We will drop in next time we're in town for sure.

Excellent pub with lovely staff and great service, alongside delicious and homemade food, would highly recommend

Came here for a meal with family who were visiting, whilst we’ve been a few times for drinks and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere the food was amazing. Can honestly say it’s the best local food we have had in Pembroke! The kitchen staff (apologies can’t remember her name) are a credit, with superbly large portions, home made fresh ingredients and non greasy food, they even had a great gluten free menu option and happily confirmed no cross contamination. Janet was such a happy lady behind the bar and even had treats for our doggy as it’s dog friendly! Overall great value for money and will certainly be returning and recommending to anyone staying in the local area!

Lovely friendly pub staff was chatting and happy to help cant wait to call in again when driving tho

Pleasant pub by the bridge with a nice atmosphere and Felinfoel ale at reasonable price.

Nice little pub with lots of good types of beer.

Best baguettes for ages. Dog friendly as a bonus

give it a miss food not good really don’t waste your money

We popped into The Royal George while visiting West Wales from Australia, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just amazing. We felt so welcome by the owners, Phil and Ian, who put their heart and soul into making the pub a warm and inviting place. Big shoutout to the bar staff! Tim (with the luscious locks!) and Honey were both ever so friendly and damn attentive! They really added to and made the overall experience. Honestly, this pub is a gem! I can't recommend it highly enough. Anyone and everyone visiting Pembroke should definitely check it out! Love your Aussie Flaming Galahs 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Amazing atmosphere! Phil and Ian, the owners are a hoot of a time and very accomodating. Tim and Honey behind the bar were on fire. My friends and I had a great time and would definitely recommend anyone visiting Pembroke to pop their heads in for a pint. Love from the Australian Flaming Galahs <3

Last time I was in there Byron & Barbara Davies ran it....lovely reviews looking forward to returning

Can't rate the food as only had a drink. Great staff and customers so atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely go back. Very dog friendly. Brilliant.

Lovely local pub with brilliant menu and excellent food friendly staff and dog friendly to also serve real ales 😀

Good pub. Nice pint. Great position

Went here Sun 12th Nov with my work colleague after work. Had one of the best Sunday roasts I have had in years. Everything on the plate was delicious. Loads of different veg even the jug of gravy was soooo tasty. We will be returning in 2 weeks time. Can't wait.

Brillant pub from an Australian. Foods great, with spectacular men behind the bar. Locals will make anyone feel welcome. Pet friendly which just adds a brillant atmosphere and more friends. Foods worth more than it is and homemade, not a single thing fronzen! Ps. If you are from Australia be prepared to get some flack (Dai I'm talking to you) but give a little bite back and all is laughs, its great. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Visiting from Australia & had a wonderful time in the pub. The barman TIM was outstanding in his service, round of applause. Homemade food was excellent, ate there 3 days in a row! Chips to die for. We would recommend to anyone visiting. Dogs well looked after, given lots of treats.

First time here. Just a drink on this occasion but will return to try the food I'm sure. Cosy, interesting interior and a really friendly & professional welcome when ordering drinks at the bar

A very friendly traditional pub where we were made very welcome. The bar staff were great and the locals friendly, even the dog was made a fuss of. Great place to watch the Rugby too. Didn't get to eat there but food being served around us looked great. All in all a great experience, especially for my partner who had left the area 50 years ago. We'll definitely visit again when we're next in the area!

Entered to find aged barman with long white hair just leaving the bar he asked "what do you want" drinks and a menu please "in or out" as we couldn't see a beer garden we were confused so said in, we asked about a table we couldn't see a reserved on but he rudely told us it was hence the sign on it which we couldn't see as it was facing the wall. We had one drink and left and spent every night of our holiday in The Watermans where the staff were friendly.

First day in Pembroke so this pub was perfect as not staying that far away . Great pint , proper pub grub , friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back before we leave . Husbands aleady looking at the tues cask ale offer 😆

Fantastic meal. The guy behind the bar was really nice and helpful (didn't get a name) and the food was amazing. Good portion sizes and fairly priced. I had the soup of the day and mushroom stroganoff (both amazing) and my friend had the burger.

Only had a drink there ,but pleasant ,dog friendly pub x

Went to this lovely old pub for dinner for two nights in late August. Had a warm greeting and felt like welcome visitors. The food was traditional home made pub grub which was delicious. The chips were the main delight - chunky and tasty! It would be nice to see more Welsh brewery ales on the beer menu but this was a great place for a real, local welcome. Remember to ask for a plastic glass if you want to sit outside and enjoy the scenery of the river and castle.

Standard pub food. Service was good. Small pub but right next to Pembroke Castle.

Friendly service and decent pub grub including child menu.

Historic, welcoming, homely. I had a light bite lunch and pot of tea for midday lunch, served well. Being next to a magnificent castle, waiting to be discovered, surrounded by tidal seawater, interesting and lovely to be there.

Visited last summer so looked forward to visiting again. Fantastic food - especially the gluten free options - and a a great atmosphere. Hope to visit again before we head home!

Friendly pub, amazing food. We popped in for some lunch not knowing what to expect and we are so glad we did. Amazing menu with lots of tasty choices, we all had something different and all four of us really enjoyed it. Would definitely return if we are ever in the area again!

Very friendly pub, great choices on the menu to the point we couldn't decide what to have. Needed up choosing a chicken goujon wrap and a chicken stack burger, both were truly excellent. Lovely little pub to grab lunch highly recommend.

On a wet day we had hoped to come in for a family meal but we were disappointed by the unfriendly and grumpy staff. Dismal, grubby interior, we didn’t stay for food. Don’t recommend for a family meal.

Really nice pub great view from the bridge

It's a 'proper pub', a little tired looking inside but don't let that put you off. The whole family had a really lovely meal and the atmosphere was very friendly. I had a delicious and filling homemade chicken curry with rice and chips and the family had fish cakes and chicken wraps between them. Prices ranged from £11.50 for the wraps to £15.50 for the curry.

The George pub in Pembroke is a local favourite and for a good reason! The beer garden offers stunning views of Pembroke Castle and Mill Pond – the perfect spot to relax with friends. The staff is friendly, and they have a great selection of local beers. The food is delicious too, with classic pub dishes done right. If you're in Pembroke, don't miss out on this gem!

Barman was needlessly rude to my partner - presumably because we aren’t local - acted like we took him away from the important business of standing with locals at the bar

Lovely food and atmosphere, proper chips not frozen, homecooked comfort food.

What a welcome we had, staff excellent , attentive and fun to be around, the locals’ friendly and made us feel like a regular, we even had a little table put outside for us to have a few drinks before our meal ,it was our anniversary how thoughtful and kind, it made our night very special. Food excellent I had home made corned beef pie ,just like my grandmas’ and my wife had a very large fish with a big fresh salad , excellent wine 🍷 and beers 🍻 thank you so much to all at The Royal George 🍾🥂

Its a traditional village pub with bar does do food as has a menu

Nice pint of ale,very reasonable price, beautiful scenery sitting outside.

Pubs have had some of the best food we have had here in Wales. And the Royal George did not dissapoint at all. Typical pub atmosphere with locals coming in for a pint, folks joking with others... but the food. It was something special. My wife thought the stroganoff was about the best she has had, my son polished off the curry and wanted more. I had the burger... it was great. It wasn't just a frozen burger thrown on the grill... it was fresh and wonderful. Sticky toffee pudding was absolutely incredible. My son said it was the best he has ever had, my wife and I both agreed the custard was by far the best, and the pudding was a very slight second place... in any case, an absolute winner. I only got one picture. It smelled so good that the family was well into eating before I could even get the camera out. Would definitely return!!!

We called in for a pint outside, lovely atmosphere, great staff and a beautiful pint plastic glasses outside which is sensible.

Stopped for a pint, excellent staff, plus you can sit outside in the sun 😎 plastic glasses outside which is a good idea.

We thoroughly enjoyed our sausages and mash with lots of absolutely delicious onion gravy, this was followed by a big dish of the very best fruit crumble with custard we have ever tasted. A very well stocked bar and we found all the staff to be very welcoming and the service was exceptionally good, we will definitely go back for another meal the next time we are in Pembroke. Highly recommended a little gem not to be missed.

First visit to your beautiful country and very first pub we visited! Came with three friends because we heard the food was good. It certainly did look good I must say. But the barman's unexpected rudeness bordering on hostility deterred us from staying to sample the food. We worried that we might have given some offence but we couldn't identify anything. He did serve us a good beer to be fair to him. Absolutely loved the look of the pub and it's setting. We are Canadians. And we love the Welsh!!! I just wish we could be sure that we hadn't offended in some way. It troubles me.

WHAT AN APPALLING LANDLORD....WE ARRIVED IN PEMBROKE AND WALKED INTO THE THE ROYAL GEORGE. WE WERE MET WITH RUDENESS..."IN OR OUT"....WE HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF THIS AWFUL MAN. I ASKED HIM TO ELABORATE...HE KEPT REFERRING TO MY BROTHER AS "BABE"...😡.....THE OWNER HAS RESPONDED WITH IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO REFER TO ANY GENDER AS....BABE 😡....SORRY YOU ARE WRONG AND YOUR STAFF MEMBER WAS VERY LUCKY MY BROTHER WAS SO TOLERANT BEING REPEATEDLY CALLED...'BABE'.....YOUR MALE STAFF MEMBER WAS SO AGGRESSIVE 'IN OR OUT'....WE WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED BY HIS MANNER...I ASKED HIM TO ELABORATE....THEN HE EXPLAINED ARE YOU DRINKING IN OR OUTSIDE 'WHY DID'NT HE SAY THAT THE FIRST TIME...INSTEAD OF...' IN OR OUT '....REALLY REALLY AGGRESSIVE....I INSIST ON AN APOLOGY....

Buona cucina, buona musica e gestore molto cordiale! Da segnalare!

Not a good experience. The chicken curry had 1 sliver of chicken, no chicken at all. For 12.25 pounds, they could have added one slice of chicken. Bad experience.

We visited this pub last week for lunch. Lovely location - really close to Pembroke Castle and Mill Pond. The highlight for me, dare I say, was their chicken curry. Most delicious of any curries I’ve eaten at a pub/restaurant in a while! I was pleasantly surprised. Just the right blend of flavours, not super spicy, simply divine. We also tried their chilli con carne and fish cakes which were just as delightful. They had a good selection of beers, service was quick and the staff was lovely. Can’t fault them for anything, really :) The pub is also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus and the main reason we initially selected it for lunch as we were travelling with our dog. The lovely man by the bar fussed over our dog and also gave him some dog treats that were gladly received. All in all, I’d highly recommend Royal George if you’re in Pembroke.

A proper pub and friendly atmosphere 👌

Went here for dinner and a drink, food was exactly what we wanted and for a great price. We had the steak and ale pie and the fish pie, both were excellent and one of the best steak pies I’ve ever had. Cosy pub with a great atmosphere, we had a great time! Thanks !

Fabulous atmosphere very friendly

We had a lovely welcome here, just had a few drinks but we loved the friendly bar staff and had a lovely evening with the juke box playing. Our dog was also welcome and given treats x first class!

Came in here both nights whilst staying locally and had a lovely time! My partner said it's the best Guinness he's ever had. Friendly owner and other regulars all happy to chat away....we even managed to save his pride picture which some lad decided he wanted off the wall! Will definitely be back when we visit again. Thanks for the fab service

Fantastic little pub. Cheap prices, and absolutely smashing grub

Friendly welcome, good beers, good pub grub at reasonable prices. Located at scenic spot near mill pond and castle.

Grand spot for a pint before the Ferry

Great atmosphere and friendly staff plus the beer was great.

Very good food. Me and my wife had a Sunday roast. One beef one pork. Very nice. 5 stars ✨ from us. The staff nice and friendly ♥️.

Popped into the Royal George whilst visiting Pembroke. This is a proper pub not a trendy place no gimmicks, just as a pub should be. We had a very warm welcome which is always a joy, not everyone has the time or inclination to provide these nowadays. We had a mixture of meals ploughman's, pie and chips, lasagne and chicken nuggets and chips. All of our meals were lovely in fact the pie was in my sons words the best pie he had ever had! I would definatley recommend this pub to anyone. Thank you Royal George.

Food was excellent friendly service well worth a visit you recommend to my family and friends will be popping in again soon

Friendly staff, food usual pub food, oil needed changing on the fish as it was on the dark side re batter.

Friendly, value for money pub. Empty plates and glasses all round

The pub is very convenient for lunch after visiting Pembroke Castle, which is exactly what we did. It did seem a bit small inside but was not crowded when we visited and we had no trouble finding a seat. We had the corned beef pie and lamb shank, which were both very pleasant. The chips that I had were particularly nice and the portion sizes quite generous. Service was friendly and efficient. All in all, a pleasant dining experience.

Excellent food and very friendly service The lamb shank is amazing and most dishes are home cooking, also very good value

Very decent food cooked to a high standard very tasty and a decent price! Thank you! Gaffer very friendly as were the staff, the barmaid didn't look 30 she looked about 20! 😳

The Royal George gave a very warm welcome and excellent food.

Chose this place due to trip advisor sign in the window. But the meal was absolutely shocking in Pembroke I’d expect FRESH FISH not cheap Iceland style burnt batter the baked potato was so small and microwaved The chips were nice to look at though...

Super pub authentique, beaucoup de locaux sur place Service rapide Plats copieux Excellents scampi et hamburgers Bonnes bières Une bonne...

Lovely pub a short walk from Pembroke Castle and the Castle and Mill Pond Walks. Friendly welcome, good choice of beers, ciders and spirits, extensive food menu. Opted for local pork and leek sausages which were excellent in a super rich onion gravy. Highly recommend.

Friendly bar staff, good food and reasonable priced. A great start to a night out.

Brilliant little traditional pub, good honest food, nothing fancy but good quality produce used and well prepared, welcoming and friendly service, positive atmosphere.

A wonderfully varied menu of food that was homemade and tasted amazing. Lovely host too.

Brilliant location. Bargain real ale on a Monday

Dovevamo cenare ad un fish & chips lì vicino. Il Rowlies ci ha invece chiuso la porta in faccia alle...

Delicious home cooked food, great service. The corned beef pie is a Welsh classic and one of the best I've had!

Great food and beer, very friendly staff

Nearby pub to our holiday apartment and went a couple of evenings for a drink in the outside area overlooking the Mill Pond and Castle. A good place to watch the world go by. Cheap drinks on Tuesday evening !

A friendly welcome, a well-stocked bar, a decent menu, quick service and generous portions of tasty food. There is a car park outside (if you are clever enough to understand the meter!). The kitchens are open at convenient times, so it is strongly recommended for...

Every time we visit here we are always happy with the service. The food is lovely, friendly staff, dog friendly. Parking opposite, pay and display.

We had a lovely meal on a sunday evening here. My friend had the lasagne and I had the chicken curry. The food was well presented and supplied in a timely manor. The place is quite rustic but very friendly and homely.

A very pleasant surprise. Good pub food and a great welcome. The Mill Bridge seating area, with its statue of Henry Tudor is right opposite. Sit and watch the swans disturbing reflections of majestic Pembroke Castle and chill.
