From cosy pubs to coastal gems, here’s where locals say you’ll find the tastiest roast dinner in the county

IF you’re looking for the perfect Sunday roast in Pembrokeshire, you’re spoilt for choice – and our readers have made that loud and clear.

In response to our question, “Where’s the best place in Pembrokeshire to get a Sunday Roast and why?” we were flooded with replies. From home kitchens to family-run pubs and seaside restaurants, there’s no shortage of passion when it comes to a plate of roast beef, crispy potatoes and rich gravy.

Some kept it close to home – Gavin Young simply said: “My house, no contest.” Jessica May Palmer and Chris Allen agreed, backing their own mums’ or partners’ dinners as unbeatable.

But among the public venues, some clear favourites emerged. The Rising Sun in Pelcomb Cross came up repeatedly, with praise for its warm welcome and “absolutely lovely” food. Sharon Williams called it “always excellent” and Sweetpea Lee summed it up: “Best of welcome and best of food – and plenty.”

The Bush Inn in Robeston Wathen was another front-runner, with multiple readers calling it a top choice for consistency, homemade flavour and generous portions. Bernie Wright said: “Tried many others but still keep going back to the Bush Inn!”

Kenny’s in Milford Haven also received a wave of support. Helena Davies said it’s all “home-cooked food and you get plenty of it,” while Amanda Cole Wheeler added: “Beautiful fresh and homemade with great service.”

The New Inn, Cross Saws, Boars Head in Templeton, Hibernia Inn in Angle, and Begelly Arms were all praised repeatedly for quality, atmosphere and value – with some readers calling them the “best carvery around” or simply “the one to beat.”

Other notable mentions included Wolfscastle Hotel (“elevated to Ramsay-style”), Slebech Park, The Shipwright Inn, Tregroes Pantry, The Ferry Inn, and The Jolly Sailor in Burton – each bringing something special to the table, from waterside views to local produce and hearty, home-style portions.

And for those after something truly traditional, The Glen in Haverfordwest, Carew Inn, The Farmers Arms in Mathry, and The Ship in Solva all came highly recommended.

So whether you prefer your Yorkshire puddings light and fluffy, or your roasties crispy and golden, Pembrokeshire has a Sunday lunch to suit every taste – and it’s clear that many places still pride themselves on doing it right.

MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service held its annual Charity Carol Service on Wednesday (Dec 10) at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel in Crymych.

The event brought together members of the local community alongside Fire Service staff for an evening of carols, readings and festive refreshments, marking the Christmas season in a warm and inclusive atmosphere.

This year’s service supported two important charities — the Fire Fighters Charity and Cancer Research Wales — with all proceeds going directly towards their ongoing work.

A total of £597 was raised on the night, which will be shared equally between the two charities.

The Service thanked the congregation at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel for hosting the event, as well as everyone who gave their time, support and generosity to make the evening such a success.

Castle Inn fun runners back festive charity event

THE ANNUAL 3 Amigos Christmas toy bike run is under way this afternoon (Saturday), with hundreds of motorcyclists setting off from Pembroke to raise funds for children’s services.

Riders gathered at The Commons car park in Pembroke from around midday before departing shortly after 1:00pm. The festive convoy is travelling along its traditional route, taking in Pembroke Dock and continuing through parts of the county including Neyland, Milford Haven and Haverfordwest.

The event is organised by the 3 Amigos and Dollies Motorcycle Group and has become a much-anticipated Christmas tradition in west Wales, with toys and donations collected for children receiving care within the Hywel Dda University Health Board area.

Also supporting the event are fun runners from the Castle Inn in Pembroke, who have been fundraising in aid of the 3 Amigos. The group are pictured alongside participants from today’s run.

The 3 Amigos have been raising funds for children’s wards and health charities for more than twenty-five years, with their Easter and Christmas events continuing to make a positive difference to young patients and their families.

Organisers have thanked the public for their support and asked road users to be mindful of the large convoy as it passes through towns and villages this afternoon.
