Thirty Five in South Somerset

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.

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!

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

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! 🙏💖

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.

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

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.

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...

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...

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

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!

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....

Last night we were treated to the most sumptuous buffet provided by 35 Main Street. A beautiful array of Middle Eastern food arrived at our house efficiently and everyone commented on how stunning the food was. Every step in the organisation of the meal was...

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...

We attended the restaurant having booked previously. Made welcome and sat at table near to another couple. We were local and knew the premeses well.ordered fish and chips and peas.stayed no cod so had Hake . Few mins later food came ! Piece of hake...

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…

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....

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...

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 arrived as a group of 6 at 35 Main Street by chance on a busy Saturday evening to be told all indoor tables were fully booked but we could take our chance on grabbing an unreserved outside table on understanding service may be a...

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)...

I have just walked out of 35 after waiting 45 miutes for a Seafood Linguine meal. 8 Customers were served with meals before myself, a table of 5 arriving 30 minutes after I did were served on questioning the waitress when my meal was going...

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 !!

I spent a Lovely hour sat outside by the river. It is a lovely spot. The food looked amazing. I had a pot of local rum and raisin ice cream. Delicious. It was an incredibly busy lunch time and the staff worked really hard and...

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...

Called in today after walking from St David’s, so ready for some warming food. 4 of us all enjoyed our lunch. 2 had lamb cawl, calamari and homemade humous. All of it very tasty and freshly made. Great food with great and friendly service from...

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.

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.

The four of us all thought the meals were absolutely superb. The chef/owner is a terrific cook. I had the whitebait to start followed by the ribeye steak. The whitebait were crispy and delicious with a fantastic sweet and tangy tartar sauce. The steak was...

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...

Sorry, but after many years visiting two recent visits were not good. At the first visit the sign said "wait to be seated outside", so we did, no-one came but then a family arrived, a member of staff came out and waved them to the...

Just dropped in and met really friendly owner ( manager?) and he explained about the challenges with being able to order food. However we only waited a short time…but well worth waiting. I had humous and my wife the crab. Lovely food, great hospitality with...

I can whole heartedly recommend this restaurant. Best chip I've eaten in West Wales + fabulous wrap.

We have the pleasure of being "local" to no.35 and as such have sampled most of the breakfast and main menus. We are always greeted by friendly staff who ensure that our requests are catered for and, even in the busiest days, will greet with...

Nice restaurant by the harbour although service could of been better. It said on the site it was opening at 9am but actually opened at 10am. We had to go inside to order and sat outside by the harbour which was nice. However the server...

Delicious pre-ordered takeaway food. Lots of choice, fresh flavours and fair prices. Really busy on a sunny day and felt for the staff as a lot going on. There was a mix up over the food (due to confusion of similar names) but it was...

Went for breakfast. Long queue, one person taking orders and making the drinks. Got our drink order wrong twice , two girls also behind counter but I don’t know what their roles were? When breakfast arrived, food delicious but two breakfasts not in order. So...

Picturesque setting but that's about it. All food and drink served in throw away containers. Drinks in plastic cups, not reusable! I specifically asked if I could have some water in any other than a plastic cup and was told no. I was told that...

We had take away meals and sat on the benches overlooking the beautiful Solva Harbour. Food was excellent and the staff were trying their best to manage at a very busy time and taking into account the current circumstances (social distancing etc.).

Highly recommend stopping off at @35mainstreet for food. We only meant to get ice cream which was amazing was well! But were so tempted by the menu that we also came away with the take away Lobster and chips! My son's first try of lobster...a...

A very busy place offering take away food and outside area dining. On our visit, they were short staffed, but with a little patience soaking up the sun outside the food arrived, and it was worth the wait. The food prices were fair: Battered Hake...

I wanted to say thank you to Hannah & Adam tonight. We booked to have dinner here on our last night of our holiday and it truly was the best meal of our holiday. Such a lovely atmosphere warm friendly service but the food was...

I took my parents, husband and two small children here yesterday hoping to have fish and chips. We sat outside, ordered drinks which arrived fairly quickly, however when we ordered food it just went from bad to worse. We waited an hour for two starts...

I literally stood for 10 mins standing at the ice cream chiller (at the entrance) waiting for the young woman to serve me an ice cream! She walked past me al least 20 times, casually folding napkins and laying knives and forks. It got worse...

Lunch drop off before walking the coastal path The crab sandwich was delicious and great coffee too Delightful staff and nicely presented modern cafe bar

Absolutely Fantastic Food! We both had the Potted Crab as Takeaway, Generous Portion, Super Fresh and Delicious! Superb Service, we were offered drinks on the house as they had to cook the crab fresh!!! 100% will go back!
