The Royal Oak in Pembrokeshire

Monday curry night - amazing food, great service and buzzing atmosphere - and all at a great price! But phone ahead to book in.

Lovely pub, super food, friendly staff & locals..

This restaurant is located in a beautifully maintained and what looks to be renovated old style pub. The lobster bisque starter special was really something amazing and it has a very good depth of flavour. The fillet steak special was equally delicious and cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and desirable. Unfortunately whilst the scallops look good they were very raw inside and it wasn’t a pleasant experience.

Best Sunday lunch out in a long time. Excellent friendly staff. We will be back!

Went in by mistake. Good mistake to make. Warm, welcoming and dog friendly. Enjoyable food, great staff, will be back soon.

Always great atmosphere good real ale

Lovely pub lunch after a walk, food was delicious and service was excellent.

What an amazing find. We ate here twice on our weekend away. Saturday evening meal we recommend the lobster bisque and lamb medallions. Sunday lunch was amazing too. Great service, staff were first class. We would definitely return soon it's worth travelling for as its some of the best food we have every eaten.

Had t-bone steak and lobster. Both were really delicious. It was quite busy so obviously popular.

Great food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. They had a good selection of meals on the main menu and the specials board. Our server was attentive and friendly, we'll definitely return.

Thought we’d try steak night and glad we did! Steak was really good great size and cooked perfectly as I requested. Chips were good. Peppercorn sauce and onion rings were really good and we were told they were made by the chef as was the puddings which were very nice. Portions were very good and the service throughout was excellent very attentive staff who looked after us well. We will be back.

A cracking pub and great friendly staff!

I’d previously had dinner at the Royal Oak early last year for a friends birthday and it was great, which is why I suggested to my partner that we go and try together. A year on and I honestly believe the food was even more amazing than the previous year. We had the mushroom bruschetta to start to share, followed by two steaks (which were cooked incredibly, I honestly think this is one of the tastiest steaks I’ve personally ever had). As I’m not a huge fan of chips I requested if it was possible to have mash potato instead, this was not a problem for the staff at all, the mash is soo tasty I think they should offer it as a side, it would most likely be a huge hit! Portion sizes were great. Dogs are allowed in the restaurant which was lovely as we were able to walk him along the beach beforehand. Honestly 10/10 experience for us! Staff were lovely & we will definitely be returning. Thank you so much!

We love to go to this pub....outside seating overlooking the harbour....Great pints and a really good menu with quality steaks and fresh fish from the boat....had a wonderful fresh whole sea bass simply prepared straight off the boat that morning.

Pure lovely! We turned up without a booking, all 12 of us, they pulled tables together and welcomed us all in. We had a great time and had some lovely food! Best chips and onion rings about! Thank you for the great service!

One of the best local ales - their own Royal Oak. Warm service and friendly locals. Haven't tried the food yet.

Came in on Saturday night as a table of 5 women (arguably difficult to please) and managed to impress every last one of us! The monkfish was absolutely *chefs kiss*, beef bon bons were melt in the mouth, every bite was completely on point! We loved it so much we begged to be fit in to an early sitting for Sunday lunch the following day, which was equally as perfect and delicious, maybe the best Sunday roast we’ve had in a very long time! Absolutely can’t wait to return! Staff fantastic and attentive, prompt service. If looking for a delicious meal in saundersfoot, definitely book here!

Excellent meal and service on a very busy New Year’s Day. Well done to the chef and staff. Will definitely return.

Went to the Royal Oak for evening meal on New Year’s Eve and it was excellent. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend the food and drink.

Sunday lunch was lovely and 3 course was such good value for money

Nice friendly pub. Drinking area is a bit too small

Excellent meal - best steak I've had in a long time. Lovely friendly service and great food; recommended

We had dinner at The Royal Oak a couple of times over a weeks stay in Saundersfoot. You couldn't fault the atmosphere, food and service, excellent. My only criticism is the toilets, that need upgrading and where not great. Worth a visit though.

Went in for a drink and really made welcome with our dog in small front bar. Really friendly. Decided to book an early table for food on a Saturday. We were not disappointed. Fabulous food, good friendly service. Very busy. Table out the way but woman still stood on dog's tail while getting child high chair!!!!. Food excellent as good as top restaurants in our area. Lamb so good and hake and shrimp risotto superb. Also real ale spot on.

Great service, great food,lovely surroundings

We visited the Royal Oak for the first time today.Tried a couple of beers before picking the right one, spot on. Selected some bar snack food, steak sandwich, pate, and toasted granary bread. Both with delightful salads and extras. All superb. But what added an extra dimension was the warm welcome and attentive service from the front of house team Jack, Charlotte, and Owen. I'm sure the chef is pleasant, too! A really relaxing, chilled lunchtime experience. Lovely ambience in the bar, too. A return visit is imminent. What a pub should be about. Thanks again.

Food was very nice, reasonably priced for a holiday area, the staff were very pleasant but took an age to take our order and then the food took nearly an hour to arrive at our table. We pre booked our table and sat down at 6.30 as arranged, the food arrived at 7.55. I did mention this to the waitress on leaving who said they had been very busy but even so there were empty tables in the dining room.

I had the bass and was very cooked and presented, would recommend it, my partner had the beef Sunday lunch. Chips and vegetables selection very tasty too, service was slow however at 45 minutes wait, but it was a busy period.

Very friendly, excellent food. The specials are a must.

Ate off the daily special menu, both my wife and I chose the ‘Spanish Fideua’ ( Paella made with orzo pasta). It was so good loaded with chicken, king prawns, mussels with a hint of chorizo topped with a tiger prawn. Beautifully cooked and presented and excellent value. The staff were amazing.

Super pub in the heart of Saundersfoot village. Very friendly landlord and staff. Locals and visitors always have an amazing welcome. Never short of someone to have chat with and to enjoy the beer and take in your surroundings. Food first class. 😋

We had a great time in the ROI and the service was great 👍

Fantastic visit from start to finish, it was the wife’s birthday so we booked in advance, I would 100% recommend the surf and Turf. The lobster and steak was phenomenal!

Lovely atmosphere, felt very welcoming 😊

Second visit to the Royal Oak here in Saundersfoot this week. The belly pork from the specials board was delicious & also the mushroom bruschetta. We can’t recommend this place enough if you are lucky enough to be visiting Saundersfoot.

Great looking menu. That’s where it ends. Left after 40 minutes of waiting to place an order. Appalling service, food that came out was paltry, toilets disgusting. Plenty of great restaurants in Saundersfoot, why waste your time and money here.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and service. Would recommend the fish pie.

Lovely Sunday evening meal we enjoyed the steak and oak burger with garlic bread. Starter we shared the nachos and would suggest it is a fantastic pub to enjoy a friendly experience.

We were two couples who had dinner here last Tuesday evening . The restaurant was busy but we were seated to our pre booked table quickly. Service, drinks and food were excellent, highly recommend eating here.

Another fabulous weekend in Saundersfoot topped off with two visits to the amazing Roal Oak. Steak and lobster was amazing, along with a yummy cookie dessert. Went again for Sunday lunch...top class food and service.

Had 2 cracking meals over 2 consecutive days. My rib eye with sauteed mushrooms was bang on as was the other halves cod and horseshoe gammon. Staff were great as was the conversation/banter with the locals. Highly recommended

Food service and atmosphere good until a group came in with a dog who barked loudly everytime someone walked past ! He then started the dogs off in the downstairs area and they all started barking together!This was in the top area which is generally quiet. It spoiled our lovely relaxing evening unfortunately as we have been here many times before and have enjoyed everything very much.

Lovely Sunday lunch. First class service. Well worth a visit 👏🏻👏🏻

Came here for a Birthday lunch,was given a table straight away,all had a mixture of dishes from Gammon to lamb.Great service,and great food.To add to it dogs were allowed.

Superb cod steak with nice wine and lovely atmosphere. Serving staff superb.

We a party of 4 booked to eat here on a Wednesday night in mid September. We had tried to walk in on previous nights but it was full. We were greeted and shown to our table by very friendly staff. We ordered our food and drinks and after a while we were informed that one of the dishes was not available. When the food came it was delicious and again served by friendly staff. Well worth eating here but be prepared to accept that you may have to book the day before.

Such a great seaside pub for friends and family Great service and great value food Fab location right by the beach

Had lamb medallion mash green beans was all abit dry not much gravy ,lack of veg .staff though was very nice and polite I wouldn't get this dish again .

Wonderful staff, a fantastic location and excellent food x

Nice pub. Good food, great staff welcoming atmosphere

Nice little pub, cosy and nicely laid out.

Good service and great food delivered with a smile. Good gluten free choice and great value for money

Bediening liet even op zich wachten maar het eten maakte alles goed, heerlijke combinatie van coquilles en bisque en daarna...

My husband and I really enjoyed another trip to our favourite place. We really enjoyed the specials, Turbot and Hake and obviously not trip is complete without a chocolate fudge cake!!. Service, food and surroundings are always fantastic. This visit like every other didn’t disappoint!!...

We reserved three weeks in advance due to busy bank holiday weekend. We understood we had 45 minutes. Waitress asked if we wanted dessert or more drinks at end of meal. We ordered more drinks, then after placing our order she said 'you can only...

Beautiful Meal, Piping hot and served with a smile :-) Recommend the King Prawn Pasta...Just amazing!!

Lovely place Great service & dog friendly bonus 😀

Amazing food... The roast beef medallions were the best I've tasted in a long time!

Absolutely beautiful food,nice atmosphere and meals the biggest I've ever seen one meal could easily feed 2 people, plenty of options and lovely staff.

Next level pub grub served about a minutes walk away from the beech! I was really impressed by the presentation of the food, the depth of flavour in the different dishes and the size of the portions. There are plenty of child friendly options too. The staff were very friendly and efficient throughout the service. It's definitely worth stopping here on your next visit to Saundersfoot.

It was difficult to get an evening booking during our holiday, but we settled for a 5.45pm slot. I had high expectations, due to its popularity and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the...

Nice pub, great location. Shame the landlord is a misery who couldn’t thank a patron for his custom just because a patron handed over a £20 note for a £6 round. Hardly the patrons fault if there is insufficient float in the till !

Let us take our dog in to the restaurant, food was absolutely amazing! Good value, good atmosphere, amazing service

We are so disappointed by our 2nd visit to the pub, first was 2 years ago & was really lovely, so we were keen to return on this trip to Saundersfoot. However things have changed, despite booking in advance we had to wait 15 mins...

Great place. Stopped for a few beers before being able to access our holiday property. Really lovely atmosphere and team!

We visited on a busy Friday night in August. We had booked on line the day before which we would recommend as the place was busy and very popular. The food was stunning, the service efficient and friendly. A great evening out with reasonably priced...

Honestly I would rate this place 0 if I could. We ordered drinks, which came in an alright time. We were waiting a good 30 minutes in total to have our food order taken, I questioned the staff at 20 minutes to which the waitor pulled a face as if I couldn't order anything. Also, when I went to ask about ordering food, all the front of house staff were laughing together while standing together in the corner and could have easily intimidated someone When they eventually came to take our order, the waitor was unenthused. At least he apologised, and the drinks bill was covered

We booked a table here for dinner - after arriving 5 minutes early for our reservation and having read the menu prior to arriving we were told that we couldn't order food at the same time as ordering drinks. We waited 25 minutes before deciding to leave as we hadn't yet been asked what food we would like. Drinks arrived relatively quickly, but we were all hungry and when my friend went to ask if we could be served for food she was met with a lack of enthusiasm. It took over 5 minutes (so 30 minutes since arriving) for another server to arrive, at which point we had decided that we would be leaving and going elsewhere. Quite frankly, very disappointed in the speed of service and how we were told that we couldn't order drinks and food at the same time. Wouldn't go again or recommend to friends.

Delicious food, yummy.. Been here three times. Staff young and very proficient. Great views. Toilets need modernising and more attention to cleanliness. Would totally recommend. Excellent.

An incredibly beautiful setting, great customer service, welcoming reception and a fantastic fish lunch, so well done and thank you to all those involved and we will definitely be back soon.

Fabulous food and service for our family get together 7 in total with everyone having a great meal and not even my big sister didn't complain! Thanks Royal Oak

Good food let down by poor service - 25 minutes to place food order and that was only after chasing up

Outstanding food atmosphere and service at the Royal Oak am excellent selection of seafood cooked to perfection best Resturant we have eaten at this year

Delicious food and good service.

Quaint pub, fantastic food and drinks

We prebooked the Royal Oak three times. Once for an evening meal and twice for lunch. I am so glad we did! The food was delicious!! The variety of choice is great especially for people who are not keen on seafood i.e my Mum and...

Been one of my favourites for 40 years… Just keeps getting better. Food, service tonight was outstanding. Not your normal frozen pub grub. All fresh and cooked to order. It’s difficult to eat anywhere else when you find a little gem like this. You will...

Order the whole Sea Bass...amazing

Lovely alfresco lunch. Tuna melt and pint at end of my walk.

So glad we visited here on our day out at sauderfoot! What a lovely quaint place with the best sea food! So fresh, tasty and well presented. The lamb we also had was delicious! Definitely got what we paid for and it was value for money. The staff are lovely offering great service with a smile. A must visit.

Food was pretty average. One of our party had the fish and chips, but unfortunately, the chips were anaemic and limp. Also, the batter on the fish was not crisp. To be fair, two of us had one of the specials, and it was pretty good.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food wasn't that good as all the fried dishes tasted the same. A change of the frying oil would have been appropriate Therefore, just 3 points for the food.

Dissapointing. Came for a Sunday roast after reading the reviews and they were not doing them. Service was slow, about 40 minutes from order to arrival, despite being the first ones in. They had run out of two items I ordered, again despite being the...

We stayed in Saunderfoot for a week at the end of June/early July. We visited the Royal Oak on several occasions and on each and every visit were made to feel so welcome by the locals. It really did make our stay in Wales extra...

Good pub great atmosphere in the middle of Saundersfoot

The food wasn't great. Not much flavor, nachos chili mince was from a tin, wrong type of cheese on them. Fish was soggy. Overall not impressed seats weren't comfortable. Staff rushed you to clear the table and took plates away while we were still eating.

Nice pub with great beer prices. The local real ale was scrummy. Lovely food and excellent service. I had the roast hake with clam and cockle linguine. Very tasty. My wife who is vegan had the Thai curry. She enjoyed it enormously and was equally...

Amazing form start to finish, chef cooked the food perfectly, waiting staff were very polite and professional. Would definitely recommend A+ quite shocked at the price as thought it would have been a lot more 😋

Lovely pub with real ales,sea views from half of the pub.

Last visited Saundersfoot just after Covid and couldn’t get to eat here due to bookings only so our recent trip I made sure I booked and wasn’t let down. I am a huge fan of mussels and this great portion is now in my top...

10/10. Visited for the Oak for the first time on Saturday whilst staying in Narbeth, super impressed with the food! Unbelievably good. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, service was excellent. My boyfriend raved about his scallop starter and I’d highly recommend the lobster...

We did not have anything to eat staff very friendly, they allowed dogs,

Good pub food with friendly staff.

Only had a drink the odd night during our stay in Saundersfoot nice enough pub however like most hostileries dogs are allowed inside which I find off putting

Visited as a group of 6 for an evening meal. Food was outstanding - great quality, fresh produce and all cooked to perfection. A few of us had the surf and turf - half a lobster and sirloin - would definitely recommend this dish. The...

The menu had lots of options, and we both had starters and mains from the specials menu. The food was incredible and we were really impressed - would highly recommend!

Staff and service were very good. Food, pub grub, was a bit pricey(£17 for fish pie that was largely mash potato). Probably wouldn't revisit.

Food was amazing. We went on the first day of our holiday and it was so good we went back again on the Wednesday. The Welsh Lamb was beautifully cooked and our meals on the Wednesday were just as good. Definitely recommended if you are anywhere in the area. Decent sized pay and display car park opposite

Very impressed with the standard of the food.

Busy pub, well patronised recommend that you book as we tried to go earlier in the week but was busy, and some of the menu was sold out when we eventually got a booking
