Ye Olde Worlde Cafe in Pembrokeshire

Beautiful place, lovely service, amazing food.

This is our second visit here, we came last year when visiting the ponds and having read good reviews. The food is very expensive for what you actually get, the carrot cake was pretty dry too. Unfortunately this is the only place we could find to eat near the ponds which is why we found ourselves back here this year. What made the experience even worse was the huge amount of wasps, they were crawling all over the food and where the tables were sticky. The food is expensive and you can’t relax and eat it when you’re constantly having to fend off wasps.

Been visiting this place since 1999.Called today looking forward to the usual menu, unfortunately were pestered by a continuous swarm of bees and found it difficult to eat our food,we then decided to place our food in my wife's cooler bag and eat it back in the car,in the meantime the waitress said that room had come available indoors and helped to take the crockery inside ,we then removed our food from the cooler bag back on to the supplied plates,whilst we started to eat another waitress or proprietor came in and said in an abrupt voice "you are not allowed to eat your own food here" my wife replied we have purchased the food here which as cost £32,we have come inside from the swarm of bees as we did not want to be stung.Fair play to the couple sitting opposite us who supported us and they told the waitress/proprietor why we were eating inside.She went off without appologising.A few minutes later another employee or owner came in and said to us you have upset my staff,we then finished our food and left.We won't be visiting again.

Best tea and cake we had in Wales. Lovely service. Fab coffee! Oat milk available. The carrott cake was delicious. Great atmosphere. Will come back.

We went to this cafe just after they had stopped serving lunch at 3:30, and ordered cakes and hot drinks. The scones, carrot cake and lemon drizzle were all lovely and we really enjoyed them. However, the coffee was shocking, the lattes and cappuccinos did not resemble what they were meant to be with no frothy milk on either and tasted of nothing but hot milk.

Bad food, very expensive, service unfriendly! Conclusion: Do Not Stop here

Nice little place just around from the lilyponds at Bosherston. The inside was full up, so we had to sit down in the pavilion, which kind of lowered the atmosphere as it was only us and one other table. I can imagine it's much better atmosphere in the sunshine, as they had loads of outdoor seating! The paninis we had were delicious, would of preferred crisps to nachos with it, but that's just personal preference.

Visited several times over the last few years for lunch/ cream tea when on the way to broad haven south or the lilly ponds. Nice areas inside and out to eat. Food and hot drinks were good and dog friendly. I would recommend it to anyone wanting somewhere to stop on the way to these destinations.

Lovely garden, disappointing scone although nice jam, bit overpriced

Dry scones with prefab clotted cream for 5 pounds is just to much. Nice suroundings but had way beter then this.

What a lovely place. We sat outside today and had a cream tea (scone, jam, clotted cream with a pot of real, leaf tea) and a tuna melt panini, with another pot of tea. We paid £19 for this. It was all really delicious and so relaxing sitting there in the sun. The people serving and the young waitress were so friendly and service was swift. You can sit inside if you choose, there is a private car park for customers and there are separate male and female toilets that are nice and clean. Really enjoyed and will definitely be going back. Please forgive my wife for not putting the cream on her scone first! 😂

Lovely small cafe to visit after the beach or lily ponds. Lots of outdoor seating in a pretty setting. Bathrooms and plenty of parking. Huge bonus for vegan magnum dessert bars.

Such a lovely place to visit! Delicious food and drink.

Sadly this has become too overpriced. Nearly £9 for a basic sandwich on sliced bread. Not even fresh bakery bread or anything special. No kids options. Half the menu not available on a sunny Sunday. Staff member who dislikes dogs saying "I hate dogs" whilst serving doesn't make for a welcoming experience. Stackpole Quay or Stackpole inn are nearby and far superior options for lunch.

Nice little cafe with nice seating on the lawn in front of the cafe. Very friendly, helpful service. Super delicious hot chocolate, tea and cakes/scones. Definitely visit when you get the chance.

Homemade cake and loose leaf tea in a tea pot with a extra hot water. Just how a tearoom should be. Friendly service, jam sponge cake was absolutely delicious - real homemade treat. Tea nice & strong with a proper taste. Well worth stopping by.

No gluten-free .....so no food for us. Tea a bit strong, otherwise OK!

Had cream tea with scones ream and jam followed by luxury hot chocolate, absolutely delicious. Thoroughly recommend a stop over at Ye Olde Worlde Cafe.

Lovely little cafe with plenty of outside seating. Coffee was lovely and the food was fab too! There’s no sign outside at the moment to indicate that it’s a cafe, so keep a lookout (April 2024)

Best scone jam and cream in wales

A really good pot of tea can be had here and the very best lemon drizzle cake. A gem of a place.

The BEST scones we've ever had. It's been a couple years now but we still think about it.

Good quality and value overall. Limited menu but what's on offer is generally good and nicely presented with a side salad. Agree with comments by others about tortilla chips, not my favourite either, a few crisps would be nicer. Coffee and cake all ok. Good deal for parking, they don't mind you parking all day provided you have lunch or tea. This is very welcome as all the alternative parking on the estate is National Trust so expensive if you are not a member. They do seem to have a problem with wasps in the garden this year which they need to look into.

A beautiful little cafe, with really welcoming staff. Cream tea was delightful, and real tea!!!!!! Will definately come again.

The garden is full of angry wasps. We were told by the waiter to go inside with our dog to escape. We were then told by another waitress once we had sat down and paid for our meal that we can come inside but our dog could not! Not at all friendly or helpful. We left taking our food with us. I will not return here again.

This place is a real gem. The cream teas and service are super. However, they really need to take care of their wasp problem and get a professional in to take care of the issue!

To sit outside you share you food and drinks with the wasp they do nothing to control them

So happy to find this little gem still open, we first visited this tea room 38 years ago on our honeymoon! We enjoyed fresh scones, jam and clotted cream with a pot of decaf tea for me and a decaf coffee for hubby and all reasonably priced. The wasps were a nuisance outside so we chose to eat in, it's a traditional house so quite small with limited space but very quaint.

Overpriced food, £19.20 for two ham and cheese "paninis" which were by no means filling. Wasps swarmed around you and your food. You get fairy cakes for £2.50 even though you orderd a proper slice of lemon drizzle. Would not reccomend anything other than coffee. Tea is extortionate

Amazing Brie and Cranberry Panini !!

Excellent and my group of German Walkers thoroughly enjoyed their cream 🍵

One of those places that we love to go.

Tea leaves and strainer - no tea bags here! Extra pot of hot water. Lovely iced cake. An enjoyable visit at the end of a long walk.

Great outdoor areas and excellent cream tea

We have been visiting this place for years because we get a proper cup of tea in a big pot made with loose leaf tea and excellent quality cake. I thought the prices were quite reasonable - we both got 3/4 cups each from £2.50 per person. I would suggest to the owners to put a card in the window saying when they are open. We turned up at 10:30 on a Thursday morning and it was closed and found no such information. Friendly staff.

A bit expensive for what you get, but the sandwich was good. Most seating is outdoors, so probably best to stop in on a dry day

Nothing justifies £9 for a sandwich.

Great outdoor space, friendly staff. The food (we had sandwiches) is fine but not special.

Great cakes and friendly staff with plenty of outdoor seating

Prices gone up 30% in two year. Scone with jam and cream gone up from £3.50 to £5

Great place for a lunch after visiting Stackpole and the coastal path, proper ham on the sandwich and loads of brie on the Panini, delicious homemade cakes. Can highly recommend.

The best scone I have ever eaten.

Food was good especially convenient as its next door to the long woodland walks which require refreshments afterwards. Plenty of space to sit outside on a nice day. However very expensive.

A very enjoyable, old fashioned traditional cafe with loose leaf tea in a teapot. Lots of little birds that you can handfeed at the table. Friendly helpful staff and good value food and cakes. it's definitely an experience at this cafe and we had lots of fun there. Don't forget to use the tea strainer and the teapot we had, let's just say it was lively on the pour, missing the cup completely and ending up on the table until we got the hang of it. A little bit Alice In Wonderland Mad hatter style! Good parking. We sat outside and the wild wind meant we had to keep a good grip on your things! Never had so many laughts at a cafe in my life. it was brilliant and I can thoroughly recommend it.

A magical place to have a cream tea! Exacly what was needed on my holiday. Will come back soon !

Loved the food here, very clean and was a beautiful area, portions where perfect and tasty.

Really lovely setting for a cafe. They stop serving food in the afternoon (caught us out!) but cakes available all day.

Un locale delizioso immerso nella campagna. Ottimo tè con scones, marmellata e clotted cream. Molto buono anche il toasted teacake.

Went there for lunch - the food was good and the outside was dog friendly.

Visit here every time we come to Pembrokeshire- it's the law! Fantastic cakes, gigantic teapots and extra hot water too. Lovely gardens and right next to the beautiful lilyponds to walk off the calories 😀

Nice pot of tea and carrot cake Butifull

Difficult review because the setting is outstanding yet it was let down by the majority of tables being cluttered and dirty. Our server said she would come back to our table to clear and clean it but she didn't, hygiene should be more important now than ever but this aspect of the cafe was poor. Our coffee was at best ok, the temperature was too cool and it lacked flavour. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, they were not understaffed, we will go back and will then alter this review if it's any better. All that being said it was very busy, no real competition, and the staff were pleasant.

Excellent home made goats cheese quiche and salad. Tea with leaves and a tea strainer. Speedy friendly service. Good value.

Excellent coffee. Nicely served in proper cups. Sandwiches OK but a bit too much butter or spread for my liking. Not necessary really with fillings like coronation chicken and tuna mayo. Sliced bread could be fresher. Nice salad garnish but crisps would go better than tortilla chips. Lovely outdoor seating in the sunny front garden but the cafes sign badly needs replacing or repainting.

Had not been in over a decade. It has changed a bit. Nice tea and cakes. Lovely sponge cake. Sandwiches are ok, but lacking in generosity with the filling.

Really pleasant with great sandwiches. Staff very friendly and warming. Can’t wait to go back.

It's hard to see what's not to love. Yes, it's a simple menu but everything is done really well and the service is welcoming and friendly.

Wonderful, traditional cafe. Good range of good and drink, quickly served. Very welcome after walk around lily ponds, beach and headlands.

Bit disappointed, great location but lots and lots of plastic and waste with my cream tea (paper cup with plastic lid, paper plate, plastic knife, plastic jam, cream and UHT milk in little plastic cartons) Not sure if its due to covid or shortage of dish washing staff but it felt cheap compared to the overall cost. Staff were friendly though and setting lovely.

I'm bemused by the glowing reviews. The menu is very basic and the food equally so. Bosherston and the surrounding area is understandably very popular and Ye Olde Worlde Cafe seems to be taking advantage of its situation.

Very friendly staff, lovely food and well priced well worth a visit after a lovely walk

Really cute tearoom in a beautiful area a stones throw away from St govans Chapel. Quite expensive to be honest but the carrot cake was delicious as we're the scones.

Pleasant, friendly, country cafe just a short walk from the Bosherton Estate and a few minutes drive from the beaches.

fantastic home made cake, nice coffee and very relaxing atmosphere, and good baby changing facility 👍

Is there a better Cheese on Toast than here 🤔. Don't think so.

Lovely, calm, simple food, private car park for customers. No booking was required. Just rock up grab a free table and relax.

Beautiful little find, gorgeous spot, friendly welcoming staff, food was lovely :D

Sizeable slice of decadent carrot cake. The swift arrival of a rambunctious smelling recycling lorrie interrupted ones early afternoon tea with clarance and co. Clearance and I had the most spiffing experience despite the dog eating mud. Ps upon the arrival Juan the driver we departed with many views from the glancing crowd

Visited today for a drink. Not very helpful staff at all, very expensive for 2 coffees in paper cups £5.40!! Staff were just loud, laughing and messing about, no customer care at all. Would definitely not be returning.

Hands down the best scones I've ever tasted. And I put the jam on first, then the cream.

Basic menu but lovely setting and reasonable prices. There's a free carpark right next to the tearoom as well. I had the scone with Jan and clotted cream and it was lovely.

Very helpfully and friendly good service and food

Best place in Pembrokeshire to get tea and cake, lovely food and great staff.

Lovely cafe, great selection of food. Beautiful location

Great find just up from the NT car park in Bosherston. The food was fanstatic and it was really nice sitting in the garden enjoying the sun. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were doing the red NT walking route around the NT Stackpoke estate, such a lovely walk, I would highly recommend this walk. We stopped here for lunch and really pleased we did. Basic menu but enough options to keep the family happy. We also had cakes which were really nice.

Perfect for a cream tea after a day on the beach.

We used to live in pembrokeshire, almost 19 years ago, and we used to go to this place as a treat when the sun was shinning. We always had a cream tea and it was yummy. We are still talking about this place, even today. So glad to see it's still there. When we visit pembrokeshire again, we will certainly visit again. Please try it, you wont be disappointed I

Great tea served in leaf form with strainer plus awesome cheese on toast served in a lovely setting. And far too cheap!

Lovely place for a panini and panad

Excellent sandwiches, paninis, quiche and cake. Be aware that it's cash only.

The food is OK but almost everything we ordered came out wrong, and it took an hour to get four sandwiches. We would have left but it is the only place to eat for awhile.

Pretty little cafe in a secluded spot. Limited menu but it's all good.

Friendly and quaint, superb cakes and coffee. Well worth a visit.

Nice selection of freshly made snacks in a good location

Always have a lovely cuppa tea an scones are yummy

Nice place when the weather's good,very nice leaf tea

Lovely garden to sit in while enjoying tea and sandwiches, also serves enormous scones with jam and cream.

Very quick service with polite staff, a great combination. We had coffee, tea, cake, and toasted tea cakes. Very delicious. Happy to recommend 🙂

Such a sweet cafe we stopped in after visiting st govans chapel really friendly staff and prices were very reasonable extreamly clean and felt very welcome and relaxed

Best potato salad I've ever tasted, came alongside fresh salad and cheese and onion quiche. Delicious and would definitely recommend it. Cash only and free parking.

Auf dem Rückweg von der St. Goban's Chapel und einem kurzen Spaziergang entlang des Coastal Path sind wir hier eingekehrt....

Stopped off for a coffee, thankfully they were still open in mid-October. Good coffee too; excellent.

Es una casa muy acogedora, con repostería casera excelente y un trato muy correcto y agradable. Tiene una terraza exterior...

Best scones I've ever had. Little cozy place for afternoon tea.

Fantastic place. Lovely cakes & tea. Always look forward to returning.

Goed eten en capuccini. Bediening vlot en vriendelijk. Wc netjes.

Llamamos aquí para el té de la tarde, pero para mi sorpresa no atienden a las personas que son a la lactosa. Pedí un café con leche con leche de soja?!?! Jadeo... choque... horror... me miraron como si me había crecido otra cabeza!! Seguramente no podía ser la única persona a pedir esto!!!!Aunque era estéticamente bello y me encantó el pintoresco y 'viejito usanza" el lugar estaba realmente decepcionado que no proporcionan una variedad más amplia de opciones para la gente.

Wonderful homemade cakes and cracking tea at a great price (I highly recommend the Lemon Drizzle). There are also some brave/friendly sparrows who will happily take your crumbs if you leave any, great opportunity to snap one up close.

Have been visiting here since 1975. Barely changed. Just have tea and cake. Never fails to lift you. Magical!

Visited the cafe twice during our short trip and both times the food , drinks and homemade cakes were excellent.
