The best restaurants in Solva Pembrokeshire West Wales

I was so happy to find out nearly 40 years later that Mrs Will has taken over from her husband and is keeping the delicious catches coming. We had a lobster platter for two and it was better presented and tastier than any fish restaurant we've eaten in, anywhere in Europe. Fantastic!

We stopped for an icecream on a miserable day The welcome was warm and the icecream was delicious I had an affogato and my partner had two scoops of ice cream mint chocolate chip and vanilla both were superb

Amazing crab sandwich and lobster roll. First lobster roll they've made to order and was faultless. Beautiful fresh seafood taken back to the apartment, complimented by a glass of white and a panoramic view of Newgale Beach

So nice , ordered soup which came with savoury Welsh cakes ( cheese and leeks) we are gluten free so expected flabby gf bread , but the cook griddled two gf Welsh cakes for us! Home made soup and Welsh cakes what a treat. Could have wider choice of gf cakes but excellent coffee in beautiful refectory in lovely St David’s. Not haut cuisine but really good cafe hence the 5 stars.

Everywhere in Solva had stopped selling food in between lunch and dinner and my boyfriend was beyond hungry. We walked into 35 Main Street and the wonderful Tracey who was about to head off after her shift overheard our predicament and made him the most delicious roast beef sandwich - it was so tasty and unbelievably kind considering she’d just finished for the day. It really made our day. Thanks all - we’ll be back!

Spotlessly clean pub, beautifully laid out. Superb terrace backing onto stream. Cheerful staff. If you are in Solva, pop in.

Lovely place to celebrate wife's birthday. Great lobster and sea bass. Friendly host and staff and sparkly decor.... Will be going back ASAP.

The BEST view. We have stopped for coffee twice while in Pembrokeshire. Solva is just SO nice and it’s wonderful to sit on the cafe balcony enjoying the view. Nice coffee and friendly service.

We went yesterday to The Old Pharmacy.We had booked a table and ordered crab sandwiches.Well we were not disappointed.The sandwiches were delicious and the tea was proper leaf tea.The young lady that owns the business was delightful after what must have been a difficult year for her business.We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely go again to support local enterprise.

The purpose of our visit doesn't fit the above. We were resident guests. We stayed here for three nights in March 2025. The weather was fabulous although the wind was a little cold. We really enjoyed ourselves in what I would describe as a restaurant with rooms, not a pub. To start with, I am always impressed when our hosts bother to introduce themselves to their guests, in person, in the evening. It shows professionalism and quality care. The room was very comfortable, not the largest we have encountered but the age and character of the building would dictate room size. The owners have only been there for two years, so there is some smartening up to be done, but our room and shower room were clean and the bed comfortable. The public areas were pleasant and the outdoor area great, but we did have the weather! Service was very attentive and friendly, the food imaginative and wines were good, with the local produce much appreciated. It was nice to be in a restaurant rather than a pub, (with endless chips with everything). Breakfast was great, dinner had a good menu with a great range of different and enjoyable dishes, served well. Well done! The location is very well situated, being by the road through the village we expected traffic, but it wasn’t intrusive. A short walk along main street lies the harbour a very gentle short walk, reaching the cafe on the harbour side which was very pleasant with great views across the water in the sunshine. Highly recommended.

We booked for lunch as advised . When we arrived we were told sit anywhere not too busy - which was great. On booking I asked if the lunchtime deal was available- I was told yes . When we sat and looked at the menus the lunchtime menu was stickered out ! So not available. We had burgers instead which were good . However we were both looking forward to the lunchtime deal ! Food and service were good. Dog friendly pub would return .

This is our second experience of Sunday lunch at the Ship Inn. On both occasions we have had beautiful dinners. The meat is so tasty and there is plenty of vegetables. It’s great value and I’m difficult to please when it comes to Sunday dinners. The Ship is a must if you’re in the area.

Obviously a locals pub . Went in for Sunday lunch and this could have been way better . Portions sizing was not great and although the separate vegetables were hot the rest of the meal was cold . Why do people serve hot food on to cold plates . More vegetables were needed as we looked around and we got nearly the same as a table of two we were 6 adults :( stunning views outside . Like I said could have been way better £11:95 for a Sunday roast …
