The Shipwright Inn in Pembrokeshire

Had a takeaway carvery and inedible is an understatement, the gravy was practically water, the roast potatoes and parsnips were burnt and the mashed swede tasted like someone had poured gone off milk in it. The best part of the meal was the container it came in.

This establishment has a new chef . I would avoid at all costs .my friend and myself visited Sunday for a carvery . It was inedible , vegetables soggy and soaked in bi carbonate roasted potatoes burnt to cinders. As for the beef it was like horse meat . I did not even attempt to eat it . When myself and companion complained we were offered to pay for one meal only , such a disgrace . We have been customers at this pub for a very long time . I was really unwell after the experience my tummy in bits . So I'm writing this review for others to be aware . NEW CHEF RUBBISH.

Had Sunday lunch today very disappointed. Roast potatoes and parsnips were burnt, the mash and veg were bland and the beef was horrible very fatty and appeared to be cheap cut. Had to send the meal back as it made me feel physically sick. Disappointed as had food in there previously which was really good. Maybe time to have a word with the chef.

This place is a great find,booked a table for a birthday, and we were not disappointed. They have cocktails available along with plenty of choice of largers, ciders, and ales, and good range of 0% alcohol drinks. The food is outstanding, all cooked fresh to order and the menu has a very good choice on it, but come hungry as they are large portions, the staff are very polite and service Is good, the bar has a very traditional and homley vibe I loved it 10/10 see you again.

Visited for the first time for Sunday lunch. It was fantastic. I had roast pork with a huge Yorkshire pudding. Good choice of veg cooked just how I like them and loads of thick gravy. Delicious! We were surprised to discover that pudding was included, and chose a hot cross bun baileys bread and butter pudding with custard, so good! Service was friendly and efficient. I'll be recommending The Shipwright to all my friends and intend to return again soon.

Fantastic value two course Sunday lunch carvery style. Lovely staff. Very popular. The also do takeaway which was flying out the door. We would have stayed all afternoon but they needed our table back.

We went for a meal over Easter food was fabulous portion sizes excellent service was very good staff and management very friendly would definitely go again when we are that way

Nice place by the waiter food looked good would be lovely in the summer to sit outside

High quality food and lovely presentation staff very attentive very enjoyable

I have been to the ship a few times with my family the food is always lovely presentation of food is always great and the staff are always friendly and couldn’t be more helpful and attentive would highly recommend the ship to anyone looking for a delicious meal with friendly atmosphere

Having worked here I can honestly say, the place is a home from home, the owners are amazing, treat everyone like family, I will still be visiting with my family that's for sure, thankyou kirst and Mike ❤️

Went here recently food nice but place disgustingly dirty really unfriendly owners who were rude. Place needs a good clean eat here at your own risk

Absolutely fantastic food service and atmosphere 10/10 staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us Food was amazing and plenty Highly recommend Will definitely be back

Amazing food, quick service with huge portions. The most lovely staff so welcoming and helpful.

AVOID!! appalling place, unfriendly owners treat their staff terribly, owner sits in corner coughing his guts up while you are eating. Had a glimpse in kitchen, dirt and grease disgusting, I would never eat there again!!

Beautiful food and service! Welcoming space! Loved it!

A hidden gem of a place. Hidden in plain sight. Fantastic food. Staff were great. Such a laugh.

The food was delicious .. service was poor .. we waited for approx 45 minutes, possibly longer, because our order wasn't put in, and then we didn't have our cheesy leeks (side dish ) The 3 stars I've given is for the food which I can't fault . Once it arrived

Good food nice pint great service thanks

Incredible atmosphere, food and service.

Lovely friendly atmosphere and lovely tasty food x

The food was delicious. The portions were huge and the employees were lovely.

I adore the shipwright, whether just popping in for a refreshment on our way through or having a sit down meal, the owners are wonderful, the food is outstanding, it's value for money and a lovely location on the waterside

Waited quite a while on the food but it was worth it. Fresh,hot and ready out the kitchen. Best meal I've ever had. Amazing food,very friendly waiters, beautiful landscape. Instant 5 stars

Amazing food, reasonably priced. Will definitely eat here again. Only downside, so full from main we didn't have room for pudding. We had pie, ribs, lasagne and starters. Everything delicious

First time here for food tonight and it was absolutely brilliant.curry for me and vegetarian lasagna for my wife,plenty of it, piping hot and proper chips💪.....two lovely young girls running the show,will definitely be back,thank you

I can not recommend this venue enough. During covid they have been delivering food to local residents and the quality is awesome. They are so helpful, fun and engaging.

Pre booked our evening meal for the Friday night as we were just down for the weekend. I have to say, with the covid situation, everything was handled very well. We try and have a meal here whenever we are in Pembroke. They never fail, we always find the food and service excellent. Gemma our waitress is so professional,informative and friendly, she really is a credit to the business. I had Tempura battered hake with new potatoes and salad, hubby had ribeye steak, chips and trimmings, then we both had a lovely cheesecake for desert. Sadly, I forgot to take pics of mains, the desert was very generous. Oh, and the beer and gin were good too.We would recommend having a meal at Shipwrights if you're in the area but,pre book first in the current climate. ⭐⭐⭐

Lovely staff great Atmosphere brilliant service awesome food I came with family and would love to come again 😀 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

High quality very tasty food. I get the impression it’s a firm favourite with the locals and tourists. Honest home cooked unpretentious food with friendly welcoming staff and extremely reasonable prices. We will definitely be coming back.

Our first visit to this restaurant has been amazing even though it’s 5 hrs from home I know if we’re in the area again this will be our first stop. Be prepared for large dinner portions and very friendly service x the food was home cooked and amazing. The team were so lovely

We just had a Sunday roast delivered. We had the chicken, pork and beef followed by apple crumble and fudge cake. It was amazing. Lots of tender meat, wide variety of vegetables and gallons (felt like) of rich gravy. The crumble had large chunks of apple in it and just the right amount of topping with a generous serving of custard. The fudge cake was moist and rich. The whole meal was just amazing and thankfully we can just relax now as we are too full to move!

Serving high quality tasty food during lockdown period for delivery or pick-up. Staff really friendly. Food always delicious, have never had a bad meal here. Good choices on menu Also they sell the most amazingly tasty cheesecakes!!

Thank you very much for the lovely raspberry and white Chocolate cheesecake, absolutely delicious , Julie hamer 😀 x

I have been ordering food from the Shipwright for delivery, It has arrived piping hot and tastes absolutely gorgeous, the staff have been very kind as well.

Called in after a recommendation, was a bit weary at first but as soon as we walked through the door we were greeted by a bubbly, chatty lovely woman. The food was hot and delicious and well presented. Dessert was equally delicious...we will be back....fantastic, thank you!!

Went here today for Sunday lunch. What a friendly and lovely place. Made us welcome has you walked in the door and loved the banter right up our street. Then the food came out a choice of turkey,beef,pork or lamb and lovely fresh vegetables and proper gravy. Plenty on plates and well cooked.opted for pudding great choice and all homemade just has I like it. Most definitely go here again not just for their superb food but for the great hospitality ❤️

We went for a meal at the Shipwright Inn on the recommendation of a neighbour. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is amazing. I have never before had such a huge Prawn Cocktail (a meal in itself) and the steak I had for the main course was cooked to perfection. This is a very popular establishment (for obvious reasons) even out of season, so it is well worth booking rather than just turning up. I can assure you that if you do have a meal here you won't be disappointed.

First time I have ever been to the shipwright for food! Can't believe I have never been before the food was absolutely amazing. It all came out at the same time, food was hot and all homemade where it could be, the lady that served us throughout the evening was great, always smiling and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you we will be back!

A gorgeous Sunday lunch as always, generous portions, wide variety of vegetables and vegetarian options, four types of meat. Very friendly and efficient staff, lovely surroundings.

Had lunch there today Fri 21 Feb very warm welcome very friendly food amazing garlic mushrooms and prawn cocktail for my wife home made lasagne home made chips and salad and the best home made steak and ale pie chips and peas absolutely superb will definitely returning thankyou

4 people managed to get a late booking atmosphere great service fabulous food excellent we all had steak for mains all cooked differently and not one complaint and that’s unusual as normally one is not cooked correctly would recommend and will definitely be returning

Went to this establishment with some friends for some food. Had high expectations due to the raving reviews on trip advisor. The gentleman behind the bar was somewhat rude , the food was average - the veg seemed over cooked and had a funny taste to it, as if it was gone off.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch here great value huge portions will definitely visit again, a gravy boat each was a winner with the kids too

This more like going out to visit fiends than going to a restaurant made so welcome by the staff and then all four of us had different meals and everyone was excellent. Good banter and food what more ones anybody want?

Having read many positive reviews I was expecting a good Christmas meal but it was sadly okay at a push. Shame. My roast potato was a very strange colour on the outside and grey inside. The meat was dry both the turkey and the beef and the yorkshire puds were way overcooked.

Great Sunday lunch, 2 courses and a drink of £15, main meal was lovely and filling with a splendid dessert. Owner and staff were chatty, friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again.

Found this absolute gem thanks to Trip Advisor today.

Lovely choice of fresh home cooked meals. Real chips. Big portions. Great prices. Lovely landlord with great staff. Service quick and friendly.

The Shipwright Inn was recommended to us by a local lady on the street when asking directions and advice for a good place to have lunch. She wasn’t wrong. The restaurant is a little blue corner venue on the water’s edge. The couple who run the restaurant could not have been more friendly or accommodating. The food arrived quickly and every one of our dishes was excellent (fresh, tasty, good size). Very reasonably priced and definitely recommended!

Come here often with work colleagues, family and friends! Honestly such a lovely place, amazing food and amazing staff! Always make us feel comfortable! Was disappointed I couldn’t go here for my birthday as they was fully booked. Obviously no fault of themselves. My favourite place to go hands down!. Highly recommended!

Fantastic lunch excellent value for money. Landlord brilliant could do enough. Meal come in 3 sizes plenty of meat and fresh veg homemade puds to finish.

Called in for lunch both had the red Thai curry and it was excellent. This together with the friendly welcome made for a lovely lunchtime visit.

Wow! Sunday lunch was awesome. Food so gorgeous, atmosphere very friendly, a real treat thank you. The portions are generous, quality second to none

lovely home cooked food warm welcome large parties catered for good beer good location friendly staff

Called in on a Monday evening, had a drink, stayed for a meal.Food and service was excellent.Highly recommended.

20 round a table .food was great .staff friendly really enjoyed.historic surroundings.waterfrount location

We visited the Inn for a family meal this evening. We were made very welcome and the food was first class. The Thai Chicken Curry, Steak and Ale Pie and Vegetable Lasagne were delicious and nicely presented.

Would just like to say what a absolutely fantastic place to good to have food. The food was and the barmaid had us in Stitches what a lovely Person I think her name was Jem or Jemma keep hold of her as she is one in a million.

We went there as a result of online recommendations and were not disappointed. Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and a really lovely meal. Couldn't fault it, top marks!

Sunday dinner is to die for! Visited here a few times with my partner and the food and service has been amazing. The staff are all lovely and chatty and make you feel very welcome! Only down side is the size of the place as it’s very small and limited seating area - an expansion would do the place great justice as it’s always popular and high demand! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful inside and out! Could not fault a single part of the restaurant area! We will be visiting again

My husband and I were taken to the Shipwright for a meal by friends who live in

Another fantastic meal. Great choice and value. Friendly welcome. Home cooked food and staff are always attentive.

I visited The Shipwright with my two young children, at supper time yesterday. The service was fantastic from the start, and the food was superb. Lovely home-cooked, generous portions in a great, welcoming atmosphere and excellent value for money. I’d thoroughly recommend!

My wife and I had dinner in this restaurant which was amazing, the staff were very helpful, the atmosphere and the service was great, and the menu was varied and the food was excellent.

I visited the RAF museum in Pembroke Dock. I asked if they could could recommend a place for quick lunch.and the Shipwrights Inn was endorsed by several of the staff..It not fancy but just plane good. Parking is available on the street outside. The view is over the harbour. Not outstanding but better than many.

Fabulous little place. Paul & Staff very friendly. if u r ever in Pembroke Dock, be sure to pay this little gem a visit, you will not be disappointed.

We've eaten here as a family on many occasions. Always given a warm welcome, huge menu with plenty of choice. Meals are all fresh and cooked to order. Home made deserts are delicious.

Excellent home cooked food in a warm friendly atmosphere.

We had a Christmas dinner here and I have to say it was one of the nicest pubs iv ever visited. The food was wonderful and the owners were very polite and helpful, we had a fantastic night and will definitely be back.

A lovely Sunday lunch as usual. All fresh vegetables and great choice of veggie and meat options. Gorgeous ginger and lemon cheesecake too. Really friendly atmosphere.

First time visitor but was just like you were an old friend. Both had Cod and chips which was very tasty and well cooked. Will be back again.

We eat here regularly as the food is always excellent , matched only by the customer service. We booked a surprise 50th birthday Party and it exceeded our expectations. I ordered a buffet style menu for 40 with meats , quiche , salads, potatoes etc and desserts.

Nice atmospheric old pub.p, just across a narrow span of water from a splendid Martello tower. Staff were lovely, food very good. I was really impressed with the vegetarian choices. Not expensive either. Highly recommended.

Had a great evening at the shipwright, my husband & I both had steak. He had the sirloin & I had ribeye, both of them were delicious, he said it was the best steak, he had, had in ages.

We haven’t been here for years because it was not good!! (Previous owners) Gone are the nasty plastic table cloths replaced with lovely linen ones.

Called in lunchtime today whilst out riding our cycles. Needed drinks and some food and as soon as we arrived we received a very warm welcome from the landlord. Had some excellent beer and a lovely lunch. Good was excellent and the homemade steak and ale pie was lush served up with homemade chips. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch Sat outside overlooking the water. Would definitely recommend to others.

Went here with the wife for our anniversary. Right from the start it was great. Very warm welcome. Lovely starter. And I must say a great mix grill. Will return again sometime Thanks Rob and Claire

Cozy restaurant with large selection of dinner alternatives and everything was delicious. Just next to seaside. Local drinks are available and you are allowed have your beer at the seaside while waiting for your table.

Enjoyable food but they did not seem happy seeing a assistance dog with us. We were only allowed in the cold area by the door.

Really great Sunday lunch, exactly like home cooked. Plenty of everything. Staff are always pleasant.

A gorgeous cooked dinner, plenty of vegetables and meat/veggie options. All freshly cooked as usual, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

We visited on a Saturday evening. Really glad we did. There was a big guy behind the bar that was very friendly and welcoming. Service was just right. I had a mixed grill. It was massive with decent cuts of meat, not the cheap cuts that are often served with large meals. My partner had the steak and ale pie. She Thought it was perfect.

Booked table, arrived ten mins earlier and once again service with a smile and bit of humour. Never had bad service here and can't understand how anyone can ever give it anything less than 5 stars - Think it must be the individual with the issues - its certainly not the staff, food or the premises.

A great traditional pub and restaurant by the waterfront in Pembroke Dock. The food was sublime - the gammon was the best I have ever had. Service excellent - nothing too much trouble. If ever in Pembroke Dock I will not hesitate to return!

Went to Carew today and we had decided to have ounce at the Shipwright Inn at Pembroke Dock. We were not disappointed the Sunday lunch was delicious

This is a step back in time to a traditional pub . There is a good choice of food and drink and a welcoming atmosphere . Oh so many pubs are being modernised with no thought that the customers might respect the real thing that has been built up over time . This dwelling is of constant interest please don't change .

Cracking place with friendly welcoming staff . Food all home made and nothing too much trouble . Fantastic location overlooking the martello tower and Neyland beyond . Two of us fancied the chilli but in a jacket potato (not on the jackets menu) but not a problem . My partner had a cheese omelette which was fab as was the cheese and onion toastie one of our party had . Lovely and toasted not soggy . We all heard the crunch when they took a bite ! Very reasonably priced too and loads of local Navel memorabilia. Also very convenient for the Maritime museum. Thank you for a great experience.

Went here for a meal whilst staying in Pembroke. The owners were extremely helpful on Facebook answering our questions and helping us book a time that suits.

What a fabulous meal we had tonight, didn't wait long even though the food is all homemade. The staff could not do enough to meet our needs, waitress was really friendly and made us feel at home.

Went to the Shipwright Inn for Christmas Day. Food brilliant, company brilliant, banter flowing like wine ha ha, had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Thank you Karen, Paul, Danielle, Irene & Brian, see you soon. Mike, Annette & Rob James.

You may have to wait for your meal to arrive as everything is prepared and cooked to order. However, your patience will be rewarded by an excellent, well presented meal, the best I’ve eaten out for a long time. The Shipwrights is a small, friendly pub, well worth a visit.

Amazing food in a beautiful setting with fantastic staff. Love this place..Booking is advisable as it gets really busy ..

Visited today as a group of 7, 4 adults and 3 small children, nothing was too much for the staff and the food was excellent good portions and value for money will be back with more friends

Huge portions of yummy food. Friendly service. A popular place so book a table! Highly recommended x

Such an enormous dish of lovely mussels, dish of water, please may i have Lemon to cut through the grease. Lovely friendly service.

Lovely delicious food and great friendly staff, would highly recommend to eat here, really enjoyed my visit

An impromptu visit to Pembroke Dock today and popped into The Shipwright Inn for lunch. It’s rustic, friendly and the food was delicious. You get to sit where there’s a space, food is cooked fresh to order so a bit of a wait but definitely worth it. A little gem of a place and will revisit if in the area again.

Having dined at an apparently top local restaurant on Friday (massive disappointment) we had a table booked for stage 2 of birthday celebrations for wife's 40th. A table of 12 was booked and we pre ordered our food. Having all arrived to a friendly welcome we were served drinks and seated at the table. Within 5 minutes starters were being devoured. Plates cleared and the mains arrived. The children were served first which was a nice touch and then the rest of all were eating pretty much at the same time. Everyone enjoyed the food and lots of empty plates. My rib-eye in contrast was easily an inch thick and had a lovely cooked exterior, although slightly over done for my liking it was still perfectly tender and was soon disappearing nicely with the garlic spuds. It had double the flavour for half the price of the previous evenings offering. If you want good,honest,hot food with a warm welcome then you wouldn't go far wrong by going to the shipwright. Many thanks
