The Stackpole Inn Restaurant in Pembrokeshire

Local recommendation for food and well worth the visit. Absolutely stellar food. I had the fillet steak medium rare and it literally melted in my mouth. The whole plate was well constructed and it was the best steak I've had in years. My partner had one of the fish dishes which she was equally as happy about. We both had desert and left content and on a food high. Service was good, quick and polite. Would certainly recommend and it is worth booking as they were busy

Fantastic. Went as a couple for a treat, about an hours drive for us, but well worth it. Parked in car park (small, but plenty of parking on roads if needed), quickly shown to table, glass of prosecco in hand , and service was quick, polite, friendly and not overbearing. Food amazing - it was a theme night with glass of fizz and a fish/chips/pea meal for £20, various fish to choose from, both whole fillets and goujons, various flavoured batters to add, beer batter, dill and lemon were both chosen and very tasty. The mushy peas were awesome - no idea about the ingredients, other than peas, but they were proper lovely !

Had 2 meals here during our stay in Stackpole. Fantastic. Lovely staff. Great menu. Highly recommend. Would love to come back and stay in the rooms

Excellent beer. Perfectly kept. Very good food and very good service. Stunningly beautiful interior. Looked magical and heavenly in the candlelit late October supper time.

Lovely stop off for lunch on the way back from Barafundle Bay. It was quite expensive as we hadn't realised the menu was quite upmarket, instead of a country pub but the staff were lovely fitting us in. Would recommend you have a booking but we were very lucky we got there before the rush. There did seem to be confusion about where was dog friendly and where wasn't. The garden looked really lovely and was busy when we left. Would recommend the hummus and the cawl.

The food here was outstanding. We had three fish dishes and one steak as a table of four and everybody absolutely loved their meal. Service was friendly and plentiful so we were not waiting for anything. Very nice atmosphere indeed. Didn’t review rooms as we didn’t stay. Well worth a visit!

Our favourite restaurant! Always great food and service and dogs are allowed in the side bar. Not cheap but great food and good beer.

We booked Sunday lunch at this pretty pub via their website, sending a note at the same time that we wished to be seated in the bar area as we were bringing a dog. On arrival we were told that we were not booked in the bar area, but in the restaurant as the bar was fully booked. Fortunately it was a gloriously sunny Sunday for mid October and so we were able to eat in the garden. The food was good, particularly the swede mash and the large bowl of green vegetables. Desserts were also delicious. I can imagine that this place is very busy in summer and if you want to eat in the bar with a dog I would call rather than book online to make sure you get a table.

This is a great little pub. Really nice atmosphere and friendly people. The menu had some really nice items on it to choose from. The food portions were very generous and was really good quality. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Excellent experience. We booked a table very last minute and so glad we did. A cute little pub/ restaurant. Amazing food and service. Dog friendly. One of the best meals we had on our recent trip to south wales.

We had dinner there, 🤤😋. You'll get aquaplaning on your tongue, really tasty. Hard to find, but Google makes it possible 😜. The prices are moderate, better than here in Austria.

Lovely little place. Food portions were very generous.

Wonderful meal served very promptly expected a wait as there was a group of over 20+, plus other small groups. Had soup, sea bass, hake and crumble (fish off specials menu). Everything exceptional as previous visits. Dog friendly in rear bar and lovely beer garden.

This place has a really nice beer garden. We missed the lunch slot (only until 2:30 pm) but we still got a cheese board which tasted good. We did not stay in the hotel as we just crossed the path while biking in the area.

Fabulous Sunday lunch here. Will need to prebook.

This restaurant is a bit off the beaten track; down narrow roads in a national trust area. It is extremely popular with tourists and locals and booking is a must. The car park is small and we failed at 6.30 to find a spot and it was difficult to turn in the congested space. There was parking along the village street but we were a good walk away on a damp night. The inn is accessed by the front through the garden with a side access for dogs accompanied by their owners. The restaurant had a number of areas. It was very busy even at the early hour and wall-ins were turned away. The service was good; polite and friendly staff. The food was good...as per most reviews on this page. We had hock terrine and a feta and mushroom tart to start and both were delicious. The tart was warm and very tasty. For mains one had fish and chunky chips....they had no problem making tweaks to the menu for us. The Wagyu burger off the specials menu, with black pudding, bacon and blue cheese was fabulous and the skinny fries crispy and dry. Why not a 5 star review? I am sure this will be controversial but I do not think restaurants are a place for dogs! Yes...they have a separate entrance and their own area, but just one table away from us was a mid to large size dog that insisted on sitting in the middle of the walk way...trip hazard to staff.. and it did take issue with another dog. The owner was not very proactive in controlling it. It really seems to be a 'thing' in this area as most places we went were 'dog friendly'....with less thought given to non-dog fans. Sadly. Would we eat here again? Hell Yes! The price is good compared to similar eateries in our area of Somerset and the quality was excellent. The person running the pass needs a star..as food was coming out at a great rate.

Had a really lovely lunch outside just-cod and chips but cooked beautifully, staff were very polite and we couldn’t ask for more. We had a wonderful couple of hours here and will definitely return.

Lovely countryside pub, Great friendly staff and lovely food. Got to mention the fish and chips which was huge, and cooked lovely.

Really excellent food, a great range of choices for both the vegetarians and omnivores in our party, and an excellent wine list. We arrived half an hour late (my fault I misremembered the time of the booking). However, the staff were very kind and honoured the booking. Probably the best food on offer in this part of Pembrokeshire and the service is excellent.

Nice ambience, great location friendly staff. If that makes you happy, go. But the food is very mediocre typical pub food, not one for a foodie.

Arrived early (5pm) on a rainy Monday evening hoping to have dinner. Have been before and had positive experience but had our dog with us this time. Lots of signs telling people with dogs to use side entrance. Only a few tables in the dog friendly area (and these were large tables but only set for a few people) and apparently all of those were were booked. No welcome, or suggestion to come back at a later time. Definitely felt dog owners not welcome. Rest of place looked empty so we headed off to somewhere more dog friendly and business minded. Not many businesses can afford to turn away customers. I’d also suggest a few smaller tables so that the space in the dog friendly area could be better used/more flexible.

Phantastic food, beautiful pub and garden.

Great food and also reasonably priced. The fish specials were fabulous. In the summer, make sure to book ahead!

Lovely location and restaurant and friendly service. White wine was lovely as were our starters but unfortunately our Sunday lunch fell very short on our expectations. The food was very bland and lacked any flavour, the beef was very fatty and Yorkshire pudding burnt. Unfortunately nobody checked on our table for us to raise this. Would definitely return again to try the main menu but unfortunately not for Sunday lunch.

THE most amazing Sunday Roast we've ever had. Stunning meat, potatoes, veg and awesome gravy, plus generous portion sizes. Also a beautiful pub and garden in a stunning location near the NT Stackpole Estate. Dog friendly too!

Popped in from a walk from Stackpole Quay a couple of weeks ago and the food and service was outstanding and a good pint as well

Simply amazing! Probably the best Sunday lunch I've ever eaten. Staff were excellent.

Stopped for lunch. Excellent service, friendly and welcoming. Bar area dog friendly. Food was excellent. Maybe a couple of quid more expensive but the quality makes it worth it. The burger was divine!

The food was good and the service was friendly. Busy but still found us a table.

Came here with the family in July. Two of us had the steak, one the small fish and chips and the other the roast salmon. Every meal was delicious. Not cheap but tasty good portions and delicious and lovely friendly service. Highly recommended

We came here in July. Food and service were excellent. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Delicious and lovely service. Highly recommended

Having found the place through some very narrow and winding lanes we were delighted at the level of care taken for disabled diners, separate entrance with ramps and disabled parking right by this entrance. The food was lovely from quite a small selection, the place was full with lots of atmosphere and we had an enjoyable evening

We ate here 4 times during our week in Pembrokeshire, the food is excellent and the staff are great. We've been visiting for the last 18 years and always make a point of visiting the Inn when we are in the area. I's suggesy that you book, in particular if you have a dog.

Best restaurant in Pembrokeshire. Friendly hard working staff and great food and good beer selection.

Lovely place after to relax after the Stackpole Bosherton Circular 😍

Welcoming restaurant, with menu celebrating local ingredients. Good selection of local ales and a delicious burger

Thought this was a pub but it’s actually a restaurant masquerading as an inn. There is no indoor area that is not laid out for dining. I popped in whilst out walking, for a beer and was told the only place I could sit down was outside; fine on a pleasant day, but it was quite a chilly breezy evening. I understand that in order to survive as a viable business these places need to adapt the business model, but it does seem that the village has no pub where locals can simply come in for a drink on an evening unless they are prepared to sit outside.

Very busy, cook seemed a little overwhelmed and burnt the fish 'n chips Beautiful spot! Beer tastes fab and other dishes were very good.

We have eaten here on numerous occasions before and all good, had Sunday lunch on the 2nd Jun, excellent meal and service, however visited again on the 12th June for an anniversary lunch but this time with our dog. On approaching the bar and asking about the dog the dark haired waiter /front of house at the till said to go in side area of restaurant, ok so moved to go to side area but told no, go out and round to side entrance, when inside left to wonder what table to sit at? one table laid out for 2 persons so sat down, waiter commented "yeh that's the one"and 10 mins. later we had ask if we could order some drinks and then was told we will get to you in in a minute! ??? The eventual meal we had was excellent but obviously that soured our visit, that member of staff needs sending on a customer relations course and the owners certainly need to deal with his attitude, all he had to do was say "this table here and can I get you some drinks while you wait". Nice place, excellent food but the restaurant and other staff let down by one obnoxious individual! Oh, and they were not that busy that day and from where we were seated we could sea they had time to stand and chat???

After watching the Hairy Bikers episode at the restaurant we were left really disappointed. Portion size huge, quality of food mediocre. Cheese was substituted in a meal with out asking or advising. After a 2 and a half hour journey we unfortunately would not come back.

Great food in huge portions, great dog friendly garden area to relax in the sun

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the garden and a relaxed dinner in the restaurant. The food is amazing. Super fresh ingredients and a very well thought menu. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Village pub with very friendly staff & delicious meals. 4 of us dined, 1 burger, 1 whole Seabream & 1 steaks I had the Paprika & Honey Glazed Pork Chop with Crispy Polenta Chips, it was absolutely delicious, all plates returned to the kitchen empty. The front garden is a great suntrap with lovely big wooden tables. Inside it’s a typical Quaint village pub with low ceilings & traditional decor & some unusual pictures (see if you can find the pictures spelling Stackpole Inn, very unusual, in the back room). Good selection of beers. Would recommend.

nice spacious newly decorated rooms, good food and friendly staff

Fabulous place....I would suggest just toning down the portion sizes...bloody massive. Service was superb and the place is popular so I would suggest booking in advance

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very nice, and the proximity to the restaurant was awesome!

We have been tobthe Stackpole a few times for a drink but never to eat...until last night! Absolutely fabulous 3 course meal with a great bottle of wine. We had a really nice atmospheric table for 2. Great staff. We will definitely return to eat.

We stopped here for lunch on a sunny Saturday on the recommendation of a local. They welcomed dogs too in the garden and part of the indoor areas.

We had an excellent one night stay while walking the Coastal Path. The Inn has a great feel, excellent staff and fabulous rooms. Dinner was superb and breakfast was filling. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Inn. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Food is outstanding. Staff very accommodating. A lovely setting.

The best fish and chips we've had in Wales. Food came out fast and hot.

Really great food at very reasonable price!

Absolutely lovely dinner. Very good portions, delicious food. Excellent value. Very friendly service. Good wine. Very hard to fault!

Really pleasant and attentive staff. Good Food. Good menu. Nice decor.

Beautiful food. Great friendly service.

We came for the imaginative pub food. Lovely country pub.

A regular haunt for my family and me when we visit, Always lovely food, largest cod I've had and double fried chips.

Best pub in the area lovely food (best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time). Was way too full to try the apple crumble but a reason to come back quickly.

We booked for Sunday dinner at 5.30 and didn't realise there wasn't any roast options and that dinner is really the Sunday lunch serving time 12-3 but it gave us a chance to try something new. I had the lamb cawl which was delicious just a little small serving for dinner, although it was only £12 and my husband had the special of moats goat pasta and parmesan. We were blown away with the amount of meat in the dish and it was the best meat I've ever eaten! The deserts were great too. Coffee a little over priced at £4 for a decaff Americano. A really lovely setting, with attentive staff and great service.

Had a fab stay at the Stackpole Inn. The room was perfect and the evening meal and breakfast were superb with good veggie options and great service. The inn is a great base for a circular walk around Stackpole Quay, Barafundle beach and the lakes at Bosherton Hope to stay here again soon.

I had a delicious meal here tonight. I am travelling for work and came solo. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, and the food was delicious! I may even be back tomorrow for more after seeing other meals come and how good they all looked as well. I arrived as soon as they opened for their dinner service and hadn’t booked as I did not expect it to be busy, but with less than an hour it got full, in a Tuesday evening! So I’d recommend booking. Thank you for the friendly service and amazing food! ☺️

I first visited in 2022, the food was amazing and Matt was doing a very good job. Upon my recent visit this March, the menu had changed slightly but had kept the same core options. But the daily specials offered some interesting choices. We ate from the specials choosing the Monkfish and the Halibut. Both far exceed what I had experienced last time, the Halibut alone was presented perfectly and was Pembrokeshire on a plate! The menu is very well thought out, screams local produce and focuses on of local Welsh cuisine, with a few classic favourites in for safety sake. The Stackpole in deserves to be ranked in the top restaurants in Pembrokeshire, Wales and the UK.

First visit to this restaurant. Our party of 9 adults and 3 children booked a Sunday lunch having visited the nearby beach. There was a choice of meats for the main which all came with massive Yorkshire puddings, roast/mashed potato, swede and a side dish of assorted vegetables. Fantastic food, beautifully cooked and great value for money. It's just a pity we live 100 miles away otherwise I'd be back there next week. Couldn't fault the service and the staff were great. If you are staying at Blue Stone and want a great Sunday Lunch with all the trimmings then the Stackepole Inn is a must. You won't find better!

Had a lovely roast and would definitely go back. Just wish it was summer time and could enjoy the weather more...

We travelled down to West Wales for my partners birthday, called here for Sunday lunch on a recommendation of a friend and was absolutely blown away. Lovely setting, amazing food and really friendly service. Thanks for the lovely meal, we look forward to the next visit!

lovely overnight stay exceptional rooms and hospitality ideal stop over after walking the scenic coast line

The Stackpole inn is an absolute gem of a pub, beautifully decorated with a lovely cosy warm feel. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. We visited for a couple of drinks and some snacks on our way through the village after seeing so many good reviews. The great reviews speak volumes for this lovely dog friendly pub, would definitely recommend a visit. We will be back to give the food menu a proper try as it all looked excellent.

Stackpole a lovely area and a great old pub. But was disappointed with our Sunday lunch.the food was luke warm.very bland with basic veg.also quite expensive .we didn't enjoy it at all.

Was extremely disappointed with dish served at lunchtime today. This was a birthday treat from my husband. The menu was poor and hasn’t changed for years. I opted for fish and chips. The fish was served on a bed of overcooked chips. The mushy peas were cold. Very disappointing.

First visit here for lunch and we had a tasty meal but the service was a little below what I expected. Nothing specific but it had the air of "first job out of school" with the wait staff! However the most annoying thing was the staff member doing laptop admin, taking and making phone calls and listening to answerphone messages all on speakerphone while sat at a table about 5 yards from us...surely there's an office or you could invest in a headset so we don't hear every conversation! Most disrupting during an otherwise peaceful lunch!

I have been going to Stackpole Inn for at least the last 5 years and when I first when I could not fault the food nor the service everything was 5 stars! However over the last year or so the service has slipped so much. We came here today for Sunday lunch, walked through the door and the staff just stared at us. Eventually sat us down and gave us menus but took over 30 from sitting down to actually coming to get our order. Food came out really fast and couldn’t fault that but the service is shocking for the prices you pay there.

We booked a meal here very last minute as our usual favourite place was fully booked. What a wonderful find, the whole evening was lovely, there was a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere with fantastic service. There are a variety of meals to suit all on the menu, I had the the pan fried salmon which was excellent and beautifully plated, my husband had cod which was all homemade and again beautiful. The cod was a massive portion but they do half size meals too. The puddings were also lovely. I would highly recommend food here, we will definitely be returning very soon, there’s walkers lunch that we are keen to try.

My Wife, our two friends, myself and our three dogs called in for a Birthday lunch, we were not disappointed! Fantastic food, generous portions, great service and a really nice atmosphere, do you need anything else? This is a wonderful Inn and restaurant and we are so glad we visited.

Sadly this was the second visit that I bought my family to enjoy an evening out. We waited for menus..asked for menus and yet the waitress came to the table and asked us all if we were ready to order..we all looked at her shocked as we had no menu... As our last visit the fish n chips were greasy..very..and the oil tasted dirty.. The sole that came out was expensive for a piece of fish with crayfish and sauce £23 and no veg..no potatoes..which was abit strange and not on really.. Also the puddings were over microwaved and well not great.. We asked for water for the table.. twice and that didn't come out.. This little gem of a pub seems to have gone down hill quite alot lately and does seem to be the same opinion from many locals here in Freshwater.. really sad the owners seem to think the standards are being kept but they are not.. We won't be going back tbh...nor will our family members after a very expensive unsatisfactory meal..

We had a really good meal here. Good value for money. Food was truly excellent. I had the stuffed bream. Think this was the best I’ve ever had! My husband had the fish pie. Really fresh vegetables. We loved it so much we can back for lunch a day later. Even though we said we would have only one course we still managed 3 ! Oops! Thank you for two really really good meals. Also staff were lovely helpful and friendly

Unable to fault this hidden little gem quality and preparation was top notch. Make sure book in advance as this place is very popular with local and tourists

Lovely setting and staff friendly and attentive. The food was disappointing, chicken was dry, lamb and pork very fatty. Plate was piled up with large roast potatoes as well as mashed potato large portion of stuffing, huge Yorkshire pudding, swede and on top of this there was a large dish of mixed veg. The wine was really expensive £10.20 for a glass of sauvignon blanc!! If you want a huge meal then it would be OK for you but I'd prefer quality over quantity, very much like an expensive harvester. Would not recommend

Fourth visit, once during the summer, the last 3 for Mrs E's birthday. It never disappoints. The accommodation is clean & cosy, and the food is always top-notch. Hearty, quality stuff with a really deft touch : testament to a wonderful chef. And the welcome is always friendly. A special mention to Ethan who is the epitome of hospitality : gracious, smiling and always on hand with a welcome recommendation. And such wonderful scenery on hand. What are you waiting for?

We were glad to return here Great atmosphere cosy And beautiful gluten free food cooked for this coeliac with a nut and shellfish allergy It’s very unusual for me to feel confident eating out Thank you

What a lovely pub/restaurant. We had the beer battered cod and chips. These were by far the best I’ve ever tasted. Staff were very attentive and couldn’t do more to help. Will definitely be returning.

I am so glad that we booked this pub for lunch and it didn’t fail to impress us. The food was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed with the fish being cooked to perfection. The staff were lovely and although it wasn’t a busy time that we visited we really couldn’t fault our visit. In fact when leaving , we booked again for later in the week. Well done and Thank You.. You have a great pub !

Visited The Stackpole Inn today for Sunday lunch….. Food was incredible. Great size portions, extremely fresh and very well cooked and presented. Lovely family atmosphere. Staff were polite, friendly and very attentive. Very reasonable price which was an extra delight. Would highly recommend a visit to anyone.

Had a great meal, food was delicious, serviced was friendly but very slow, particularly drinks from the bar. Obviously a very popular place, it was Saturday evening and the place was full. The staff were working very hard, the but clearly not enough of them, hence the 4 not 5
