The Swanlake Inn in Pembrokeshire

Food was unavailable due to renovations. The locals were lovely

Fab night here with the band last night, very welcoming and chilled environment. Good range of beers on tap, with great service. The band belted out a vast range of songs all of which were great and will defo be back, just need to same the food next time as I could easily make this a regular haunt.

Excellent. Very friendly welcome. Lovely selection of pub food, and great selection of beers. Quick service, food superb, would not hesitate recommending.

Really nice food. Lovely staff. Nice atmosphere.

Visited recently booked a table for 3 of us we were served by a lovely chap who gave us our drinks while we chose our meals we had the butterfly chicken fabulous 👌 choice of cajan or lemon & garlic both delicious served with a great salad chips or jacket potato lovely generous portions. Staff were very attentive asking if we needed anything, the only downside was and completely NOT their fault a group of load mouthed people kept constantly swearing & getting louder with no respect for any of the guests that were dining . I think we all felt the same not to approach these idiots ignore and they will go away our theory was right they didn't get any attention and thankfully left ! It hasn't put us off we will be back swanlake keep up the good work 👍

Very good food and welcoming will defoe go again 😀 👍

Great pub food, lovely friendly staff and doggie friendly to boot. The food was tasty and the staff were friendly with a warm welcome, everything you want in a local pub. The beer garden is lovely on a sunny day.

Super little pub in a small village. Basic food menu but hearty and hot. Really friendly bar staff and friendly locals also. Had a great time watching the football and rugby there. Barman was a great laugh and willing to have a chat, in fact seemed to enjoy it. Closes for food early on Sunday so don’t go for evening meal. Only one thing I would change about this place and that is the toilets (see picture). Everything else is lovely and welcoming. Surely a toilet seat isn’t too much to ask?

Just back from Sunday lunch at the Swanlake Inn Jameston. Great meal, well-presented, tasty meats with ample varied vegetable selection - and lovely gravy! Friendly, courteous service on tap. An unpretentious, family (and dog) friendly dining experience. Recommended.

Just stopped in the off chance and what a nice surprise it was cracking meal. I had hame egg and chips and the wife had swan stack I recommended this to anyone

Very ambivalent service. Needs to up customer service game and make customers feel welcome in their establishment.

We had 2 meals here last week, absolutely fabulous food! Such a great atmosphere and such a welcoming place! To be remembered by the landlord is always a good sign. It means he cares, and you are made to feel more than just customers. See you next year, guys, when I've worn off the extra weight 😂 xx

Fabulous food and very welcoming try it you won't be disappointed

We have never been before but will definitely be going back. Steak cooked to perfection.

An honest, unassuming welcoming pub where all visitors are made to feel like locals - what more can you ask? Well it's also very dog friendly, has a beer garden, parking, guest real ales, generous portions of home cooked staples, plenty of history on the walls too.

Called in at this quiant treasure today. Shame thing was we didn't find it sooner. What an amazing pub. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long. The bruchetta was delicious and one of the best we've tasted. Mum and I had the gammon what a feast for the mouth that was. Very flavourful and melted in the mouth. The coleslaw was incredible far better that we have ever had. My husband had the ploughman's which was full of different things to tempt the taste buds. Our son had the children's chicken nuggets and chips. It was the first meal ALL week he has eaten and cleared his entire plate. He said they were yummy! We ordered drinks but wanted a drink off menu (Black Russian) but that was not too much trouble. The barman was more than happy to accommodate us which his cheery disposition. All the staff was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble...especially the guy who greeted us and served us at the bar. A final gift from Tenby was finding The Swanlake. If you are ever blessed with visiting Tenby pay Swanlake a visit and tell them we sent you. You will not be disappointed. Love good food, a cosy atmosphere and good company, then the Swanlake is the place to visit! Best wishes to you all and a BIG thank you from The Adams Family from England Nottinghamshire

I moved down here in may 2023, I'm yet to have a single bad meal. After the food horrors of having a sizzler pub as my local for nearly 20 years, it is good to eat proper food again

Stopped while visiting the area, staff were friendly and service was excellent, food was tasty and excellent value.

Great food, good value for money and pleasent staff. Customer service goes a long way and the staff here did that. I had the chicken curry and it was lovely. What a pub should be!! Added bonus was the live music at end of the night 🎶

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere! Mike was so welcoming and friendly. He even gave us a lift back to the tent in the rain! Highly recommend.

Hatten uns nach den guten Rezensionen mehr versprochen. Domnerstags Abends hat fast niemand den Pub ausser uns besucht bzw. gegessen. Bedienung war ein sehr junges Mädchen, das sich sehr schwer getan hat. Tische haben geklebt. Essen war ok, aber jetzt nicht übermässig toll.

Popped in here for a late lunch whilst returning from Pembroke Castle to Tenby. Nice pint of Hobgoblin...good beer, well kept. Ordered the Chicken curry and my wife ordered the cajun chicken with salad. Both of our meals were simply outstanding. The food quality, particularly the chicken used was so good it deserves a special mention - all of us had a great meal ( two off the children's menu). Great friendly service, and friendly locals too... a real Brucie bonus to pop in here without planning... food was awesome! Worth a few minutes out of your way to eat here!

Really great impromptu lunch at Swanlake in Jameston. Went to Pembroke Castle and came back though Jameston and stopped by on the off-chance... Great result. Nice friendly atmosphere great service but above all the food was fresh and flavoursome.. probably best pub grub we had all week. Chicken curry was delicious.

All 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food which came very quickly and costed a reasonable amount. Very nice and helpful staff who even helped us tourists with some recommendations for days out. Would definitely recommend.

Went along for a Sunday roast which was outstanding! The Lamb was so tender, the Veggies cooked/steamed and roasted to perfection. Gravy and the Yorkshire pudding were great too. Unfortunately, I was defeated by the amazing Salted Caramel Cheesecake Ice-cream and was unable to finish it 😋😁 The service was excellent and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. All round, an excellent Pub. Highly recommended and will definitely be visiting again

Had lovely family meal, food good, service good and nice friendly atmosphere

Standard British pub food menu, cooked really well. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. Nothing not to like.

Great spot for great pub grub and a few beers. 👌👌👌

Lovely place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

Nice enough pub. Pretty basic pub food. Could do with some music there which would have helped atmosphere.

Stayed close to this pub/restaurant for a week, popped here on our last night. They serve food from Wednesday onwards (to sunday). Meal was very nice, all enjoyed the food. the desert was equally as nice, I'd defo recommend the salted caramel cheesecake! 😋

Parking a bit tight but a lovely atmosphere 👌 😍

Great village pub, excellent food and drink selection. Great beer garden very child friendly.Amazing staff led by Mike &Carlie,,these guys have brought this little gem back to life 👏👏

First visit here in a few years. What a difference the new management have made. Friendly atmosphere and made to feel very welcome. Food is very tasty and plenty of it. Will definitely visit again.

Great pub, live music , great food

Nice beer garden, burger basket meal was burger in a bap and chips, unfortunately they had run out of tomato sauce 😞 garlic bread was nice.

Very good experience, food was very good, staff polite helpful and friendly. New Management are turning the Inn around. We will definitely return.

Went for Sunday lunch on 21st May 2023 - what fabulous food. We ordered 1 turkey dinner and 1 lamb, both beautifully cooked with plenty of veg. Lovely selection of puds too, the strawberry & cream cheesecake was fab. Really delicious food, great value for money. Carlie & Mike you have def got the Sunday formula spot on. We will be back very soon

Went here for my mother's birthday with friends of ours. (So we were a group of 8) The waitresses were superb, likewise were the bar staff. Nothing was too much trouble. All foods were piping hot. We enjoyed ourselves so much we are going back Wednesday for my fiancé's birthday. Thank you ever so much for making us feel so welcome.

Fabulous family-run pub. Mike and Carly are super friendly, provide terrific service and cannot do enough to ensure a superb customer experience. Jackie and I were visiting nearby relatives and enjoyed a great Saturday and Sunday evening with them in the Swan Inn. We are looking forward to our next visit to Pembrokeshire and will definitely be visiting the Swan Inn again.

Lovely meal and good friendly service

Great to see the new management doing so well, I’ve been coming here for nearly 40 years, great to see it back to where it should be and that’s thanks to Mike and Carlie’s hard work. Good luck for the future both, a must visit for anyone in the area.

Under new management!! Fantastic Sunday dinner, food was lovely, lamb was so soft! So welcoming and attentive, lovely warm atmosphere. Thank you!

Visited a couple of times over the Coronation weekend. Dog friendly which was great for us. Good choice for vegans.I really enjoyed the vegan Wellington. My dad loved his steak. Staff really friendly and keen to know we were happy 😊

Really nice and welcoming place, great fireplace and looks much better with the full front room :) friendly staff too!

Food is so good. The best chips I’ve had. Lovely host, very friendly.

Had a great evening meal after a very wet day out in the Wales countryside

Nice food, friendly couple running the business.

Under new management so went to try the new menu! Literally couldn't fault it... The atmosphere was lovely, great couple! The food was exceptional...Highly recommended, especially the homemade Brie Wedges...

Great food and a happy belly. Waiter was lovely and attentive!!

Just had a cracking Sunday lunch here in the Swanlake. Now run by new management, that have really made a difference. Good presentation and very tasty indeed.

Amazing bar, felt like home as soon as we walked in, atmosphere was impeccable, owners were amazing with us and the hospitality was the best we’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be returning soon, 2 hour drive was worth it with the Swanlake inn!

Recently under new management. Friendly atmosphere, good home cooked food. Both our kids enjoyed their dinner, and even the super fussy one has said he wants to go back, so it's a big win for us! We'll definitely be back.

Recently recommended by a family friend, and the swanlake did not disappoint! Easy walk from the local camp site, really friendly bar and restaurant staff, great pub grub and with a proper pub feel to boot. We will be back, probably tomorrow.

Had a lovely meal for 5 . Excellent friendly service and good food. Highly recommend.

Under new management, had family meal with two kids (10 & 12) and it was great, highly recommend. 10 out of 10

My partner and I heard the Swan was under new management and they have turned the place around!! We thoroughly enjoyed a superb Sunday Roast, in their back restaurant. Followed by drinks in the front bar. The staff were so nice and tended to our...

New owners were friendly and welcoming. We stayed at Tudor Gl

Wanted to leave a review to say thank you to the welcoming staff of the swanlake. Stopped in for a couple of impromptu drinkies & had such a lovely time. Staff were very friendly & efficient. Even gave my grandson some sweets whilst he watching...

More of a 'local' than a nice country pub to pop in for food. Looks great from the outside but dated 'spit and sawdust' interior. Natural wood stove. Nice pint of Hobgoblin though!

Uncooked tasteless chips. Meat pie was tough as old boots. Please don't waste your time or money here !! This is the worse pub I have ever visited !

Only went in for a beer which was good and a nice feeling in the bar

Despite some of the recent uncomplimentary reviews of this establishment, we decided to take a risk on what it would be like. Firstly let me say that the food was absolutely fine. The menu wasn’t extensive and it was all basic pub grub, but that...

Lovely beer garden for the summer but did think the food was a little pricey

Awful.... had to book as said they were full and couldn't do 7pm so we booked for 7 15, then when we arrived at 7 15 were told the chef was finishing at 7.30 so we better hurry up, and just to add the pub was actually almost empty with only one more couple there who were eating. Food was the worst we've ever had, chicken on a burnt toasted bun with salad that consisted of lettuce and peppers and charged £14.50 for the privilege. Waitress asked at end of meal if everything had been OK, and then became all defensive when we explained to her our experience. A place that should be avoided at all costs. Hugely disappointing experience.

Been to several pub restaurants in and around Tenby area but this has to be the worst. Madras curry was more like a beef stew with very tough beef and probably the worst chips I have ever tasted, I think they had been reheated several...

Worst food ever and very expensive £17 for fish and chips deep fried in burnt oil and no acknowledgement when telling then we won't be going back

We called in for lunch whilst driving through the village . Warm welcome, we all had the wagu burgers, nicely presented and well cooked. Chips were great ! Nice and crispy ..We sat outside, beer garden was clean and tidy, the pub was quiet, food...

We ate here a few times last year and enjoyed. However we were very disappointed with our recent visit. Nearly an hours wait for food, no communication from staff. Waitress brought the meals without a word, gave the steak knife and fork to my grandson....

Great food and very quaint and old fashioned.

Absolutely lovely food and great service! Nice little pub for a meal, portions are very large however so be wary!

Outside was welcoming but inside was a dark dismal area! After ordering and paying for our meal we sat by the window to gain a bit of light! Tables were dirty with flies crawling on them! After being wiped, our cutlery and glasses were brought...

We had a great meal and good service they care about their ales so what more can you ask

The website is very misleading and food prices are heavily overpriced for what you get. Prices were cheaper on the website than in person. Had a round of drinks and we took one look at the food on peoples tables and decided to leave. Shocking. £9.95 for a jacket potato with cheese and beans? I could make that at home for less than £5. So overpriced dont waste your money.

Cracking beer garden with plenty of benches to sit in the sun. Good pub grub menu and friendly staff.

As goodxas their Caravan Club, first class and friendly.

Outside and name of pub good. Food was dreadful! Could not eat the steak and Guinness pie, gristle and very tough meat,the puff pastry was pale. Most of the chips were undercooked! Peas were hot ,the only thing I could eat. Expensive & a complete...

Absolutely awful Rock hard , tasteless Lasagne. Cold , anaemic greasy chips/scrumpz that I think were left over from lunchtime and barely reheated Gristly , fatty Steak Pie with a salty, gloopy powdered bisto type gravy and, again, grotty chips Overpriced and poor food. Steer...

Worst meal I've had in years Tastless lasagne that you couldn't cut with a knife it was so dry. Greasy cold anaemic chips/scrumpz that looked left over from lunchtime Didnt dare touch the pepper/onion side salad if that was the standard! The steak pie was more gristle than meat and the gravy was just a salty, thick, gloopy powdered bisto type effort. The chips same as for the lasagne At around £15 per main course it was well overpriced for such poor fayre. It was so bad I couldn't even be bothered to complain. My feeling being if they don't already know there's no hope for them anyway!

Great, friendly pub with lovely beer garden

Awful! Overpriced (restaurant prices but nowhere near restaurant quality!), limited menu (presented on shabby A4 paper), prices higher than website indicates & meals were mediocre! My dog could cook better! The lasagne (over £14) was anaemic & small portion, looked like a 'value range' supermarket effort! Steak & Guinness pie (£14.95) comprised of what looked like a tin of tough stewing steak shot in a ramekin dish with a 'lid' of puff pastry, far from "Home-made!". Tables were weirdly sticky & pub smelt like public toilets! The toilets themselves WERE of the public tin toilet/no toilet seat variety! Drinks were expensive too - £4, for a COKE! NEVER AGAIN & DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED!

Looks lovely & quaint from outside but inside looks neglected & smells old - well to be honest, rather like dirty public toilets! Based upon outside appearance & website 'promising' a lovely home cooked meal, we booked a table. We were well & truly disappointed...

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in Jameston. We had many trips to the Swanlake inn, sampled Sunday lunch , evening meals and the lunch time menu . It was excellent. Rhiannon and the team were brilliant and so welcoming to me and my family . Thanks for the cocktails Rhian 👍

First visit, Nice beer garden good choice of drinks and nice welcome.

Excellent Pub great Guiness and other beers. What more do you have to like? Sorry 😞 forgot about the food - I'll try that next time.

Spent a couple of hours early evening yesterday at The Swanlake Jameston. Enjoyed a cracking pint of Guiness. The bar is very atmospheric with a large Flemish Chimney at one end. In the Chimney is a log burner with a roaring fire. There was a...

We visited this pub twice, when staying in the area, having read other reviews. What can I say, it's nothing like these 4 and 5 star reviews. The pub is full of local residents and no-one from outside the village. The tables were dirty and...

We went to this pub as we were staying in the village, if you enjoy overcooked food, overpriced drinks (£1.40 for blackcurrant cordial), own a dog that makes no noise, have children that are ‘educated’ and don’t mind being sneered at, then this is the...

Food was very nice however so were the prices !

We've just been for an amazing Sunday lunch..Roast beef x4 , pork and turkey meals all served with a lovely selection of vegetables and extra gravy ..would definitely recommend.

Stayed locally with friends and visited all over the weekend. Had 3 great meals, all homemade Inc Sunday lunch and all were really nice. Very friendly and welcoming. The 4 of us had a great time. Late night on the Friday, relaxing meal on the...

Great place. Bar maid is excellent

Very friendly and good beer with a nice outdoors area. We'll cooked basic pub menu. Not much for vegans though.

Beautiful evening. Staff so friendly. Meals were out of this world.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good food.

Called in on spec and was very pleasantly surprised. Home cooked Sunday lunch with mountains of fresh veg. Great value

Maybe ok to while away a sunny lunchtime/afternoon in the garden … the light bites menu looked ok, but for an evening meal unfortunately no, menu didn’t reflect the website example, really not good. The pub inside is a pool/darts sports bar.

Good food service ok pleasant staff clean

Had a nice meal! Sunday evening and they'd run out of ice though for the drinks!😏
