Thirty Five in South Somerset

My favourite place for breakfast after a sunny, bracing walk from St Davids along the coastline. Service was spot on and food was delicious. On way out, grabbed a brownie to go. The chef had just made marmalade and asked if I'd like some to go with. Lovely! Warmed the brownie and marmalade that evening and good god now I no longer want to eat anything else. Heavenly.

Arrived unannounced as a group of 10 with the local Blue tits group after a morning swim in Solva harbour for post swim breakfast. The staff were very friendly and obliging to make up a table for us all to sit together and the food and drinks came out in good time with no long wait for either. The food was really well presented, you could tell they use good produce as it tasted superb, also the portions were definitely on the generous side but not overfacing and priced really well. All in all a really pleasant place to relax with friends and enjoy good food. Many thanks for a great experience at 35.

This was my first of many visits to 35..Had the small breakfast..As a chef myself I’m usually always very critical..However I couldn’t fault it in anyway..It has to be the best breakfast Iv had in Pembrokeshire..All freshly made and piping hot..The staff are all very friendly and so helpful.Cant wait to try out their evening menu and Sunday lunch. Well done to Steve(Owner)and his fantastic team..What a gem of a place right on the water overlooking Solva harbour.

Went for breakfast for a birthday weekend. Waited over an our for our food. We were giving a free orange juice while we were waiting. 3 of our party ordered the full breakfast which they were all happy with. One ordered eggs benedict. The 1st egg was edible but the 2nd was completely raw. Off eggs for quite a while!🤢

From the get go we were treated like family. The staff's warm welcome and genuine smiles set the tone for an evening of exceptional food and hospitality. Every moment was a pleasure. We came for the bespoke Fear and Canadian Burgers, and left with our stomachs stretched. The ginormous tomahawks were sublime. The entire night was first class. In short, 35 Main Street is a gem that redefines fine dining. The combination of impeccable service and extraordinary ffoodhas us already planning more visits.

Four of us ate at this restaurant whilst on holiday in Pembrokeshire and it was one of the highlights of the week! We initially wanted lobster but sadly they had literally just sold the last one, however the owner went absolutely above and beyond to ensure we had one of the best meals we’ve had in absolutely ages!! We ended up chatting to him for a while and he even invited the head chef to come out and have a chat with us (also a very very lovely man!). All in all, we would really highly recommend a trip to this restaurant if you’re anywhere near the area. Amazing setting next to the water, incredible food and really lovely staff! 👏🏻👏🏻

We found this lovely place in Solva for dinner. We had our dogs with us, one of which is a great big Dobermann. They had a table booked for us but allowed us to eat at the sofa area so our big lump of a dog was not in the way. We shared a starter of scallops which was delish. I had the seafood spaghetti which was packed with seafood, no hunting for the mussels here, a really generous portion which I struggled to finish. Hubby had fish and chips, super crispy batter and fresh fish. Sticky toffee pudding to finish, all washed down with a crisp white wine. At £69 it was excellent value. The doggies were made super welcome and got some treats and the staff were all lovely, friendly and chatty.. what more could you ask for..

Absolutely outstanding food! Totally delicious fish and chips, half a lobster and spaghetti carbonara Lunch was delicious too! An absolute hidden gem in Solva - open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffees, snacks and ice creams

Absolutely outstanding food. Portion sizes were beyond expected and prices were incredibly low for the excellent standard and portion of food. Best place I've been to in a long time and would recommend time and time again. Thank you!!

A really nice atmosphere with an excellent staff team and host, who brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the role. The food was great and the overall experience was very enjoyable. This was our fourth visit to Cafe 35 since Steve and his team took over and it really does feel like they have found their mojo and are really beginning to prosper. We will definitely be back soon. Cary on the great work!

As locals 35 Main Street is well known to us but this was our first visit since it has been taken over by a new owner. We were greeted by the owner Steve, who is very friendly and made us feel very much at home. Nothing was too much trouble. Including drinks samples and excellent recommendations when some of our choices were unavailable. The food here has always been pretty good. But Steve and his team have taken it to a different level, excellent quality using local ingredients where possible and a great selection of new specials. This is just what Solva needs and is thoroughly recommended.

We found it a cosy and comfortable space. Steve, the owner, was very friendly and a lovely person to talk to, but above all, the food was fantastic and the chips were something else. We will be back.

Would highly recommend this place, the food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly. If in the area, please give them a go.

Lovely restaurant, immaculate food and very nice staff,, we had a wonderful waitress named Brooke, who was an absolute darling.

Looking over the harbour and great place for a balmy summer evening or lunchtime outside meal . Had the best non greasy calamari and fish chowder ever. Michelin starred chef

A very warm and friendly welcome from the new owners. We have visited this venue many times over the past few years for the amazing breakfast. The new owners did not disappoint on this front. The breakfast was truly delicious, generous and great value for money. We would highly recommend this venue any time of day. We have had great evening meals here too! The new owner was very personable and introduced us to the chef. Nothing was too much trouble. Looking forward to returning very soon!

We went to ThirtyFive as we had been last summer.Met by the new owner Steve who also introduced us to the head chef. They were extremely accomodating, friendly and the food was lovely .Steve very much has a vision for his restaurant and is half way there with his sheer enthusiasm. We would definitely visit again and wish Steve the very best in his venture.

Very friendly service on a rainy afternoon- We were introduced to the chef, who was very friendly and seemed eager to cook for us. Whilst the menu seemed to be more limited towards breakfast and dinner, there was still food for all occasions, but the boss offered my parents cheese sandwiches as they were not very hungary. I decided on a Caesar Salad, which was a good portion and very flavoursome. Would recommend to anyone no matter what occasions they would be visiting Well done!

Recently reopened (past 10 days) with a new & enthusiastic owner named Steve. Must point out this restaurant is open on Mondays & Tuesdays, which is highly unusual for St Davids area...so we tried it with the family. If you want local, fresh seafood this is the place. The skilled chef brought out the best flavours in the sea bream and sea bass (with samphire & truffle fries), which was the best seafood we've had in years. Their salted caramel brownie garnished with fruit was amazing, and tasted surprisingly like cookie dough. Main advantage over other restaurants: the excellent service. It's a welcome change from the lax service you get most places these days. We'll definitely return again!

Visited No 35 today to a friendly welcome from Steve the new owner and Max his efficient assistant. We went in-between breakfast and Sunday lunch time so enjoyed good quality coffee and delicious chocolate cake Inside is clean and inviting with a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Extensive menu to suit all.

Under new management, when we arrived we were welcomed warmly by the new owner Steve, who was friendly and very accommodating informing us that if we wanted something that wasn’t on the menu and they had the ingredients, they would be happy to provide (which was the case when some customers asked for sandwiches). We ordered 4 soups which came with lovely crusty bread & butter and were delicious. Accompanied by some teas and coffees which were also great. Really enjoyed our visit and will definitely return as live locally.

A absolutely gorgeous place, with fabulous freshly cooked, local food for adults & children & super friendly staff! Definitely worth a visit, booking advisable.

One of the best food.I had a lovely evenings with my friends.The location is lovely and food amazing! The owner was very kind with us and brought us few glases of wine.Thank you for all and we come back to this nice restaurant.!

Amazing food & great atmosphere. The new owner came over to say hi. The food was just great, we had the soup and wagu burger

Steve, the new owner, welcomes everyone into 35 with a massive smile. We popped in twice for lovely coffee and enjoyed two incredible desserts. We can’t wait to be back in the summer and enjoy the lunch and dinner menu on offer. In fact, Steve tells us it’ll be the best roast dinner around too! Good luck and see you soon.

Omg stumbled on this place as weather was bad ...BEST eggs Benedict we'd ever had !!!! Honestly totally unexpected. Made us and the dog feel very welcome ... Fantastic service and food we were most impressed ! 😁 Would highly recommend and we will absolutly return 10/10.

Fabulous to see No35 back open again - much missed. Solva needs this restaurant for locals and visitors. We met the new owner Steve and the Head Chef Christian - a very warm Welcome from both too. My husband and I both had a full breakfast - everything was very enjoyable and plentiful. Local sausages and bacon (we asked). Laver bread which we had not had before - would have again. We checked the lunch and evening menus which looked very nice - we booked to have an evening meal at the weekend. One of the best things was no rushing, and that we were just able to sit and enjoy our breakfast. Our pooch very Welcome too. Value for money compared to other local eateries, quality of food and fabulous Welcome. Couldn't fault it - looking forward to Saturday 👍😁😉 Wishing you all the best Steve - may you always have full tables! 🙏💖

You are in for a wonderful experience which you don’t want to miss out on. 35 Main Street is as lovely as the setting itself. Nestled near the harbour it is a must for anyone visiting Solva. Delightful; high quality; fresh food with attentive service a great atmosphere and value for money. What more could you ask for?

Great little place tucked alongside harbour in Solva. It IS open even though it can look as though it's not at this time of year. We had a lunch of fresh seabass with tasty seasonal vegetables, locally sourced and beautifully cooked. Desert Lemon cheesecake with an explosion of flavours And Chocolate Brownie with fab fruit topping. Returned for coffee and cake (gluten-free choices.) Ended up staying for lunch beef ciabatta and potted crab salad. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. The welcome was friendly and attentive. All the customers had smiles on their faces. Good luck Steve, chef Christian and the team.

Restaurant has new owner. Excellent choice on menu. Had the potted crab, freshly prepared by chef, owner very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend.

Under new management - so friendly and helpful. Lovely coffee and cake and a great looking menu for lunch and dinner. We’ll be back!!

Lovely good value food - nice attentive staff and atmosphere - lovely setting by the harbour - we will be back regularly - great that it has reopened

We have just had lunch at 35 Main Street. Steve (the new owner) was incredibly welcoming and the atmosphere was very friendly! The food was absolutely delicious and made good use of local produce. We couldn't recommend this place enough and will certainly be visiting...

First day of opening with new owner Steve. Fabulous! Great food all round, fresh, local, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Combined with a warm welcome and great coffee. Best of luck guys, you deserve it.

After leaving a review for Hannah regarding very slow service I received a horrid retort. Maybe if you took constructive criticism, then maybe you could move forward and make improvements instead of making shambolic excuses, as stated the place is in a gorgeous setting and...

Came to Solva with our anxious dog, so eating out has been a bit of a challenge. This place was an amazing find. The fish and chips were superb and still hot by the time we got back to our cottage. Really good size portion,...

We had a great family lunch today - and there were 7 of us! I arrived later than the rest of the family, so the server understandably and politely advised me that my order probably wouldn't come out at the same time. We chose to...

We were looking forward to returning for a birthday meal after a great 1st visit a few years ago but were really disappointed this time around. Booked and ordered in advance for a 6pm booking and it wasn't at all busy when we were there...

We were really looking forward to a small, local, fresh food restaurant. This wasn’t quite what we expected. Prices we’re used to paying in London but for food which left us a little wanting - and actually hungry!

Lovely coffee and great location But no welcome or smile from the staff, wet tables and chairs outside, slow service and slow to clear tables

It was TERRIBLE. We came in and we weren’t served and just sat in a queue than our waiter seemed as though they wanted to run off . Then we got our food and the whole time flies were round our heads and going on...

I regularly take my little one to 35, he loves the children’s menu, and the fab selection of ice-creams. The park is only stone throw away, perfect on a sunny day when your sat on the terrace. A lush selection of wines too ;)

Potentially a great location. Understand the challenges of getting the right staff in place in these small villages… not mention the impact of 2nd home owners on these local communities… I did ask that either the cook or owner came and ate one of the...

Absolutely first class meals,we had fish and chips and it was delicious and so was the seafood chowder we had last week,.Staff are very friendly and we did not have to wait long for our food. Wine was lovely and so was the local cider....

Lovely kind staff. I broke my finger in our car door and was in agony, Adam and the lovely blonde lady at 35 Main Street could not have been kinder, bandaged me up, allowed our doggies in with my husband and looked after us so...

We went for lunch and ordered a chowder and steak wrap. Both came in reasonable time and were very tasty, generous and well presented - both dishes exceeded expectations! Wide choice of drinks available and good service from the small team.

Excellent Food in a lovely setting. Staff very accommodating. Definitely recommend. Only downside the coffee was only average.

Fabulous food, highly recommend the pint of prawns, truffle oil chips and hummus. Outside and inside tables available, sat outside because we had a dog. Friendly service, food reasonably quick, well presented and decent price.

The restaurant is primarily a day time cafe but opens Friday and Saturday. Our group of ten had an enjoyable early evening dinner here. The location is very pleasant next to the river. I had calamari and then traditional fish and chips, as did most...

I have used this restaurant in the past and had fond memories of bringing visitors to Wales here who enjoyed the experience. The business is up for sale, I have no idea why but it feels neglected. This was only for coffee and cake on...

This is a lovely place for lunch, with views over the harbour and next to a small river. The food was very good although they had sold out of a couple of options, ( our table was at 1pm). We were a party of seven...

For anywho likes good food freshly made check out this place. I rang ahead to book, the service was efficient, friendly and conversational. The food was of a very high quality. Perfectly balanced flavours with a bias on seafood. Really great communication from the waitresses...

First impressions by the harbour are great; simple parking options, easy to locate, lovely harbour view and the river running by, all make for an amazing setting. The interior is bright and clean, welcoming and warm. Greeted and taken to a table, menus provided and...

Lovely atmosphere coffees and chocolate drinks and delicious freshly baked carrot cake. Staff were friendly and joined in the spirit of a difficult dispute between to crumbles who hotly disputed whether milk or cream has the greater number of carbohydrates. She officiated tactfully between the...

We went for Sunday lunch and everything was fantastic. The beef and lamb were both beautifully tender and the service was quick.

We were very much looking forward to dining in the restaurant. The menu looked good and the reviews were also very good and, to be fair, the food itself, was actually pretty good. However, what was completely unacceptable was the behavior of one of the...

Had a dish of whitebait which was nice and crispy. Fish and chips next, my expectations were high and I ended up disappointed. Fish was greasy, chips not tasty. On the plus side the staff were friendly. After a hike I was really looking forward...

Considering the number of people ordering in front of us, and the peak lunchtime rush, I was expecting to have to wait. All of our food came our quickly and was delicious. Menu is not massive but does not need to be. I can particularly...

Lovely early dinner, shared a calamari which was delicious, then both had lobster which was equally as lovely. Daughter had a generous child’s meal. Services excellent. Couldn’t fault it! Will be dining again before the end of our holiday…

The seafood linguine was amazing it was just full of calamari Shrimp muscle's capers pickled cockles it was served with a lovely thick piece of garlic chiabata and great pasta red hot and on the table in 10 mins wonderful food will be back again...

We called impromptu into Solva on a trip back from St Davids on a sultry Monday evening. The menu of 35 Main street caught our eye. The Seafood linguine didnt disappoint - perfect flavours and generous portions of fresh fish. Service was spot on- the...

A must check out eatery if you are on holiday in the area.. A large choice of starters , mains and desserts ensures all tastes catered for. The whitebait and seafood chowder were exceptional on my visit. Friends had the beef curry and equally enthusiastic....

After a lovely walk through the harbour and to the beach we were really looking forward to a late lunch here. Arrived at 2.45 some tables free but very cluttered with dirty dishes not cleared from previous guests. Menu said food served until 3pm so...

We were a party of 9 who enjoyed a fantastic meal at 35 Main Street. All the starters and main dishes were first class including lobster, seafood linguini (yes they do know how to do it fantastically well if you have read an earlier post)...

A wet day ( of many) on holiday took us to Solva with the intention of a walk along the coast but lashings and lashings of rain changed the plans and we sought refuge in this rather modern and comfortable restaurant for an impromptu lunch....

Great location overlooking the harbour. Delightful young, courteous staff ! The best fish and chips I've had in a long time ! The batter was to die for.... yum ! A bit pricey but well worth it !!

Walked over from St Davids to Solva and called in for lunch - absolutely fabulous, we both had the lite bites - Calamari with Asian seaweed and sesame salad, accompanied with an amazing chilli and ginger sauce (also had a bowl of delicious fries )...

A great independent restaurant producing top quality fresh food. Stopped here for lunch of fish and chips and the house special Mac and Cheese. The meals were excellent and the friendly atmosphere and tasty coffee made our lunchbreak complete.

6 different plates for 6 different palates. Visiting with a family of Parisian friends we were delighted to find them very complementary about another of our Pembrokeshire haunts.

When we walked in the staff ignored us, we were shown to a table and thought about leaving, but menu next door did not appeal! Starters were good, the Chowder was salty and no finger bowl provided for the kjng prawns so they were left...

We visited the cafe for breakfast before heading off on a coastal path walk. It was so good we ended the walk there for coffee and cake. The atmosphere was friendly, the coffee tasty and food was delicious (eggs Benedict highly recommended). Price was reasonable,...

Came across this place by the river, in a corner of the car park. Wonderful refreshing cup of tea with delicious and unusual courgette and avocado cake - really yummy! Chatty and helpful staff.

We've been coming down to Pembrokeshire for 15+ years and never fail to stop in on 35 main street at least once. This time we both had specials.....mine was the Chowder. I love Chowder - I've had amazing Chowder in the US. I've had it...

We are locals who were keen to try out one of our favourite cafes Sunday lunches. Booked in advance and were greeted as always by very friendly staff. Service was exceptional, which highlighted the equally top quality meal. Definitely will be back again. Thank you...

Popped in on the off chance and ended up enjoying one of the best Sunday lunches in a long while. Really lovely veggie Nut Roast along with everything else on the plate well cooked. Also dog friendly, will certainly return. Shaun and Annie

We popped in for some lunch on our way back from St Davids as I had seen the decent reviews online, plus I noted that on Mondays the lunch service is from 12-5pm. We arrived at 2:50 and seeing that it was quite quiet I...

Convenient parking brought us here and it was a very good choice. Busy inside , plenty of space between tables and hygenic. Wide variety on menu, group settled on plates of either Lamb Madras , Battered Hake or Calamari , they were subsequently all shared...

What a find! Food, service, quality and value were all fabulous. Bravo to the team. A really tasty dining experience with quality ingredients and attention to detail. You MUST give this lovely place a try if you’re ever in Solva.

Superb food - so full of flavour. Lovely atmosphere. One of the best meals we’ve had in ages. Excellent value too and wine was really good at a very reasonable price.

The serving staff were doing their best but the food really failed to meet expectations. It was fish and chips! And awful! On a reduced menu. It arrived vvv greasy and without the peas and salad as advertised. I asked about the peas and was...

Had Sunday lunch here outside in the sunshine. Both of us had hake & chips - the hake was amazing - so fresh & cooked perfectly in a thin light batter. Our compliments to the chef & the fisherman! If you love fish this is...

Amazing seafood. We had calamari and scallops. The scallops were beautiful, particularly the Asian seaweed!! For mains, linguine and mussels. Linguine was packed full of different seafood. Highly recommended restaurant!

Fabulous food and staff! Booked an early evening dinner inside tonight for us, our 2 hungry teenagers and restaurant novice lockdown cockapoo. The team couldn’t have been more helpful making friends with Merlot to settle her down as we ordered. Food was delicious - can...

We called in for breakfast this morning . Breakfast was delicious, very reasonably priced and the staff were lovely . Would go back anytime 😃

We visited Solva early Aug 2021. I had no reviews to go on and stopped at 35 as fancied some fish and chips. Whilst we had to wait a while to get served (it is summer and covid times etc so this is to be...

We stopped in for ice cream after a long walk and found that many flavours had run out, which was unfortunate for peak summer. The prices were on the touristy side, you can say that the venue makes the most of its location. What was...

I saw a couple of negative reviews so thought I would add a review, which I rarely do as social media phobic. We were at 35 yesterday and stopped for a hot drink and a bite to eat. Firstly it was clear that they were...

In more than 40 years visiting restaurants this is the first time I’ve had cause to walk out. We visited on a weekday evening, because our establishment of first choice had messed up our reservation and most places seemed to be totally booked up. Restaurant...

The food was really good at 35 Main Street. The crab to start was the highlight - it was delicious! Ambiance in the restaurant was great and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We had a lovely evening and I would highly recommend to...

Shocked to read some of the reviews on here. Personally I had a delicious freshly cooked meal served by pleasant, friendly and efficient staff. The restaurant was very busy as you would expect on the summer holidays, but the service was great and the food...

Popped into 35mainstreet today for lunch. Cake was absolutely out of this world and the staff could not have been friendlier, really made my day

Nearly fell asleep waiting for a takeaway hot chocolate. Several people served in front of me with far bigger orders. Clearly not abiding with any social distancing as well. Worst part is, when the hot chocolate eventually came it was Luke warm and served in...
