Wiseman's Bridge

“A varied menu showcasing some of Pembrokeshire's best produce” as well as  Laura’s favourite beer. 

We like to  sit on the terrace looking over the town, beach and sea. 

It is part of a chain of 2, the  other is part of the Habwr Brewery in Tenby.  

“A modern British pub steeped in Welsh heritage, est. 1837. From fresh seafood to favourite pub foods, we serve excellent food made from the finest seasonal produce. A hearty meal in a relaxed and welcoming setting, seconds from the harbourfront and beaches. Perfect for families and children!"

Right next door to the Harbwr we have never been. Although once went through the door and it made us feel disloyal. 

Next door to Tesco is very popular and always full when we try to go there. Sol and her girly friends managed to get a table and loved the seafood - I suspect  ageist discrimination. 

At last Rod and Laura got in for Sunday lunch with Steve and Anita in September 2025. To round things off after a weekend to experience an incredible Whitney Houston tribute show. They squeezed us in at 12 o'clock - the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food is  smashing (Rod had the local lamb) with Steve and Anita reckoning it was better value that the New In Amroth. 

Outwardly gives the impression of posh, we entered from the beach but inside is true real ale oldies drinkers pub with an open fire, pub food, rock music and no wi-fi. Food great and recommend the  Cawl (as in cauldron, which is lamb stew). The pub has recently become a Harbwr Pub which is a good move. 

The  Gents spray on to stainless experience takes me back to the sixties and seventies (1 out 10 on the AW scale). The bar  is the sort of place to bump into the oldest chemists of all - Bob Sewell-Alger or Nick Burn. 

Frequented by trendy well-travelled Londoners such as Joel & Sian Waugh this a short walk /climb up St  Brides Hill. 

It definitely is nice-smart. A voted Wales' best hotel in summer 2025. We lowered the tone for the retired professors and well-to-dos with their glam  wives taking  afternoon tea (In fact Bob SA would be very much at home here too!)

Bristol Eades kindly treated the old man to a awesome afternoon tea for his birthday. 

Views to die for overlooking Saundersfoot (we did - viewed not died - in the pouring rain) and the valley nestled  below. Coffee is good and reasonable at £3.80 each and came with homemade shortbread stacked like Jenga. Didn’t  need to try the gents but am assured the ladies scored 9 on the Alli Waugh scale. Watch out the tiled floors are very  slippy for wet boots. 

Along The Strand and almost opposite The Olde Chemist Inn. Alli and Sam rave about the monster portions. Scones are 3  times normal size. July 2023 update Cal and Sol were also impressed by this place, Cal had the all-day breakfast  which included the largest portion of scrabbled egg. Must be good, it’s rare for Alli and Cal to see eye-to-eye on  anything. 

Situated at the far end of Saundersfoot harbour. Serves a wide variety of flavoured Welsh Cakes. Cal raves about this.

Another one of Cal's (also Lexi and Arlo) raves. This can be spotted on the promenade outside the museum. 

Our fav outdoor café and stop-off from the lodge to Saundersfoot. Look out for the robins hopping on the tables. (Interesting fact brought to you by Rod - Coppett Hall used to be known as Coal Pit Haul) 

For Peppa fans - listen out for the assistant who has a voice that sounds like Miss Rabbit.  

Toilets very nice for public toilets 8AW. 

Another recommendation by the Princes. Sit all day on the beach with a fiver’s worth of parking ticket, coffee from the shop, a couple of camp chairs and a knotted hanky. 

Situated on top of The Kiosk Cafe we have often examined  the mouth watering menu of this Michelin starred restaurant and wondered - can we be bothered to dress up?. Being slobs we never have.  

The restaurant is somehow connected to The Grove - which you can find on this page. This is what the Michelin Guide says. "Meaning ‘seashore’ in Welsh, Lan y Môr is an apt name for this stunningly located beachside restaurant; grab a table on the enclosed terrace to make the most of the view. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you’re after ‘Sea’, ‘Pasture’ or ‘Land’, but in this location your eye is sure to be drawn to the oysters, ‘frockles’ (fried cockles) and fish of the day. Ensure you save some room for pudding, especially if the terrific chocolate and cherry cake is on the menu". 

Never been there, it is a shop and restaurant, it is highly recommended by our neighbours.  

Next door to the Chinese and close to the station, is the nearest chippy. Pete the owner is a card. Closes at 9pm on Fridays, is cash only, a small F&C will set you back £10. 

Saundersfoot has an excellent (not cheap) chippy in the harbour. They close 8pm I think. There are also takeaways for pizza, kebabs. 

Curry House in Kilgetty which deliver. 

I recommend this. Menu leaflet in the lodge somewhere. Or click on the photo. 

Chinese Takeaway in Kilgetty, near the train station.  Again, never used it but next door recommend. 

Tasty Garden Kilgetty another Chinese takeaway is a new addition for 2024. Tucked away in the Coop car park it is easy to overlook. 

Featured in The Times and looks really good. The Sunday lunch. A possibly helpful yardstick is £30 for 3 courses. Laura and Rod visited for a reccy. Stunning beautifully restored old mill the restaurant is over 4 floors (there is a small lift) with the axles and gears running between tables. Nice place for a celebration. Toilets 10AW points. 

Midway between Narberth and Haverfordwest (10 miles, 20 minutes)

St. Govan's Country Inn at St Govan near Broad Haven. Nice food and real ale. Sort of pub you can sit outside all afternoon on a warm sunny day. 

Near Broad Haven (17 miles)

Is great for sitting outside round the back in summer. Food and beer good. 

You can park on the road a bit further up where it gets wider. 

There is also a café in Manobier which we recommend too. 

With literally sawdust on the floor - you need to look at the website for more info. Great for Sunday lunch but book well in advance. 

SA66 7QU (18 miles, 35mins) due north near Newport. 

This pub-restaurant was recently awarded best local restaurant in Wales. We must go and find out.  

SA71 5RX

66 7QU (16 miles, 25mins) Hundleton half way between Pembroke and Angle.  

At 11 miles is a bit further to get to than you think. If you travel there in the daytime use The Ridgeway road, the views are spectacular. We have stayed at this hotel several times for kids-free getaways over the decades and have good memories. Restaurant is a relaxed affair in the conservatory and good for a long chat. Food is pricey but very good.  

For a bonus they park the air sea rescue helicopter in the grounds it seems. Never ever seen it fly but you can get really good close-up photos. 

"The well-known and popular Dragon Palace Chinese Restaurant, the many years of perfecting Chinese cuisine are all highlighted here. Situated near the seaside resort of Tenby our team of chef’s have had decades of experience and bring along with them a fusion of tastes that will invigorate, excite and mesmerize the pallet. Quality food, service with a smile, popular with locals, go on, indulge yourself, have a Chinese, Dragon style"

That is what they say. Not much to look at from the outside. Again never been although driven past countless time on every visit. 

Very convenient, less than 3 miles away on the road to Tenby. Never eaten here but poked my head round the door and took away a menu. Serves a variety of South East Asian dishes plus sausage or chicken goujons and chips for the kids. Looked welcoming and the reviews are positive. Send us a review, this could be an opportunity for you to be famous in our missive. 

There two restaurants in this Welsh country house. 

• Artisan Brasserie menu
• Fernery Restaurant is formal with a guide price of £145. 

We need someone to try it out for us. 

Nice coffee nice atmosphere.
