The best restaurants in Penally Pembrokeshire West Wales

We visited Penally Abbey for the first time in November 2022, where we got engaged a short walk away on the beach, and then again in September 2024, for a short break straight after our wedding. In 2022, we stayed in room 6, and this time we stayed in room 5. Both rooms are absolutely stunning with amazing views of the sea. Penally Abbey is so beautiful, and the team are helpful and friendly. We love the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting. We had dinner at Rhosyn, which was great, and enjoyed cocktails from the bar. It was lovely to be welcomed with coffee and cake on arrival. The location is absolutely beautiful. As well as a walk along the beach, I'd recommend checking out local walks in the area, we particularly enjoyed Barafundle Bay and the Bosherston Lily Ponds. On both visits, we had issues when we planned to go out for dinner in Tenby with the trains being unreliable due to the single track and a lack of availability of taxis between the hotel and Tenby at "peak" times. Obviously a very pleasant walk along the beach at low tide, but high tide/night time it's less easy! So if venturing into Tenby for a few drinks, I'd recommend pre-booking taxis and perhaps not relying too much on the public transport!

Incredible food! Really friendly staff and good service. On the pricey side but worth a slash out for the quality of the food!

Had another delicious Sunday lunch at Janz. As usual, a lovely warm welcome for all of us including our pooch. Great atmosphere and service was impeccable. Can’t recommend enough.

Visited for a family meal. Absolutely beautiful setting on a beautiful day. The staff are very friendly and chatty even though they were extremely busy. Starters were very tasty and the majority of our main meals were lovely. The one issue was the person who ordered Bangers and Mash was left sorely disappointed by their food. Two sausages on a lump of mashed potato with onion gravy. Nothing else. No veg. Two very small sausages. This was nowhere near enough to justify the price of £12. This option could be reviewed. Otherwise a lovely setting and decent food.

Great for children (and us adults) to feed the cutest of farm animals, set amongst picturesque surroundings. Quality food and hot drinks, selling local produce also homemade treats as gifts. Highly recommend 🐑

Just beautiful and romantic, couldn’t fault this restaurant, service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. The decor was original but with a modern twist. Would highly recommend this venue

Was very quiet when we went as it was a Sunday evening off peak. Service was great, friendly and professional. Food was fantastic great portion sizes, not too much which can be off putting but plenty for us.

We visited this pub about 2 years ago and a lovely meal, so on our return visit to Tenby we were keen to go back. We phoned and booked a table for 4 and arranged a taxi home. On arrival we were advised that they were short staffed so might be a delay, which we were fine with. We duly ordered our food, however 5 minutes later, told that the dishes 3 of us had chosen were not available. However on going for another choice, advised that wasn’t available either. The menu option thus became very limited, but as we had travelled out of Tenby we had no alternative but to stay. The meal was very bland and very disappointing. We understood that staff can cancel without much notice, but not being able to offer the advertised menu, especially as we had booked and could have been given this information then, is not good service. We won’t be returning and would not recommend.

Nice enough site, pitches waterlogged after heavy rain. No one on reception just bar cleaner who said "oh there never is anyone, just go and find your pitch". Great location. Showers fine although no seat or shelf. Dishwashing just a couple of sinks out in the open, no rubbish bins nearby - water not very hot. No food served in restaurant as "chef has hurt his back, and gone home". Overall okay but certainly overcharged at £46 per night for motorhome grass pitch and pretty average facilities.

Had platter for 2 and was stunning, price seemed a lot until it came to the table there was enough for 4 meals so the staff supplied a large silver takeaway tray and home it came, next days Lunch sorted. Highly recommend.

If you are somewhat fed up of trying to find a table in an overcrowded Tenby pub or restaurant at this time of the year, then why not take a short drive towards Pembroke, next to Penally station, you'll find The New Overlander pub and restaurant. It will be worth the drive. Simple, yet delicious home cooked meals, well presented by accommodating and welcoming staff. If you are not the driver, try one of their many cocktails to conclude your visit.

Cannot comment on food yet but a very helpful delivery driver who put himself out to show us the way to our caravan which we could 'nt find in the dark LOL

No issues with service (food arrives quickly) however the quality of the food and ingredients are below par. Spaghetti Bolognese like a school dinner. A shame really as it's nicely done out.

Very quick service, hot and of course tasty. What more do you want . Yum yum
