Quayside Lawrenny Tearoom in Pembrokeshire

What a gem of a place. Quite apart from the beautiful location and views the food was totally delicious. Freshly prepared to order with home made coleslaw and couscous salad garnish. Fresh crab on brown granary and a prawn baguette served by attentive, friendly smiley people. A joy to spend time and money there.

The cafe was closed despite advertising it was open on its website and saying it opened at 11-00am on the door. We arrived at 12-00 and there was no one around. No idea how good the food is because they can’t even be bothered to turn up

Stopped in at the tearoom while doing the circular walk around Lawrenny and we are so glad we did! Ordered a Welsh breakfast and my partner the eggs on sourdough toast. All of the produce was local and all so delicious. Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by at the quay. Dog friendly too which was a bonus - lots of dog treats on the menu 🐾

The smallest sandwich ever! The chef even came out with the Artisan bread to show me its “ local” they want to use local ingredients, yet have a Carte D’or ice cream van outside! A teaspoon of couscous salad and a very small garnish of salad x 2 £20 ! Ooops plus 1 coffee. Couldn’t have tap water as it was discoloured?? Clear in the loos with the same water supply?! Cheese & leek tart up by £5 with the addition of a couple of potatoes !

A big thank you to the lady serving in the cafe today , it was really busy and we came for lunch for my birthday , one member of staff told us they weren’t doing ice cream sundaes ( which is what we had come for !) but the staff member ( who we think is the daughter of the owner) kindly sorted us out and made my day ! Thank you , great ice cream sundae and a lovely halloumi and avocado salad !

We visited this little gem after a lovely long walk. We chose to sit in as the weather was hit and miss and what a charming little place it was and very attentive staff. There were three of us in our party we chose to eat the ham and cheese panini, which was fully loaded, the steak, onion and mushroom baguette which was totally amazing, both of these were served with homemade coleslaw, beautiful side salad and cous cous, also the baguette was served with fresh new potatoes. The other member of our party ordered the ploughman’s which was huge and a great variety of cheese and the best chutney ever. We had to buy a jar of the chutney it was so good. The cakes looked outstanding and such huge pieces we had to have a slice of chocolate sponge to take home and may I say that was scrummy. This place is clean, excellent food and exceptional quality, great staff and great prices. Keep up the good work 5 stars needed for this little gem of a place.

Had a lovely lunch on a sunny day with freshly made crab sandwiches and a blt baguette along with a pitcher of elderflower we had a great time and the quayside tea room is in a great location

Fantastic hidden unspoilt location run by friendly helpful team. Crab sandwiches were amazing with a lovely side salad of homemade coleslaw and couscous with added grains. Couldn’t leave without having a cake as they looked and tasted awesome. Favourite tearoom of our whole week’s stay, loved it!

Lovely tearoom on a beautiful setting on the estuary-fabulous choice on menu-local fresh fish and ingredients and a very popular place to eat-loved it ❤️

What a hidden gem, lovely food, lovely staff and all over lovely experience. Definitely recommend the steak baguette, lovely selection of food and desserts😋

Have eaten here many times over the years Service/food not what it used to be. Shan't be visiting again ☹️

Not happy bunny! Looked on website could see closed at 5pm! Rung to check when they serve food up until, message to say they cannot pick up phone at the moment but to send message on their website... fast forward to 4:02pm after stood there for a couple of mins at the counter my wife ordered quiche but not serving food after 4pm as they close at 5pm! Right attitude as well exclaiming it's on our website... we had and have checked website nowhere does it state serving food until 4pm... there were 3 other customers having tea outside. It has gone downhill since changing hands, food nowhere near as nice.. never mind! Need to find somewhere if they don't want my custom...

Stopped for lunch at this hidden gem in Lawrenny Quay. Excellent choice of homemade food . Wonderful location coinciding with beautiful weather. Very busy. Welsh Cheese & Leek Tart with new potatoes and salad. Prawn and Pineapple salad - both delicious. Will definitely come back.

Lunch was excellent lovely fresh resourced foods which great choice of menu. Excellent customer service. Eat inside or out under large umbrellas. Dogs allowed inside. Surroundings very peaceful and relaxing looking over the estuary ample free parking. Such a find. There is a separate posh caravan which sells ice creams and hot/cold drinks if you don't to enter the cafe. Prices reasonable, but the posh fancy ice creams from the van is a tad experience the cones are fine. An ideal place to go for good food, lovely surroundings to watch the boats and wildlife and if feeling energetic there is a fantastic NT walk along the estuary through the Oak woodland, via the boatyard. Just have to check the tide times before going as walk transfers onto the estuary down wooden steps.

Absolutely 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a breakfast oasis. Amazing full english!!! The range of breads (and plenty of butter). What more could two hungry festival goers want….THANK YOU ❤️❤️

I couldn't recommend this cafe more. We were staying at the big retreat and walked down to have a look around. We had a coffee in the stunning setting, then moved on to lunch. I had the quiche, and my friend had the bean burger....

Beautiful location, with excellent food, we had a ploughman’s, really good value and a lovely mix of cheese,ham, salads and new potato, as well as crusty bread and biscuits, a veggie burger again with salads and new potato, both well presented and tasted great, be...

Beautifully Food, Stunning Setting, and Lovely Staff. Haven't been since July 2021 when we felt it was a bit of a letdown. We're so glad we decided to return. New owners who obviously take pride and their food and service. The food was outstanding and...

Called in for a couple of cokes and two brownies with my mate. Came to £14 which was a bit steep, but the staff wouldn't give us a single serve pot of cream to go with it without extra payment. Bit of a joke really...

Great service as always but the ploughman's was exceptional both in terms of quality and value for money. By far one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Can there be a more serene setting for such lovely food? Second visit this year, usually come every year, and never a better few hours spent. The pretty estuary with first class lunch options. Much more than a tea room. I will be there again...

Amazing food in a stunning location. I had the homemade quiche which was to die for and my partner had the Burger which he said was the best he’s had. Very impressed & staff brilliant. See you again soon!

Lovely tea room and restaurant under new management . Friendly service and excellent choice of vegan and vegetarian options with daily specials board . It was my first time here and I will definitely call again . Beautiful location as well .

A family afternoon at the Quayside Tearoom. We were spoilt for choice with the menu and delighted with our selections. Delicious fresh food and a refreshing jug of water with elderflower, lime and cucumber served at an outdoor table overlooking the estuary. Although very busy,...

Excellent, quality food. Fab menu. Excellent table service. Wonderful views. Super indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely staff. Amazing location

Lovely cosy, friendly atmosphere. Beautiful views across the river. Cake & coffee were beautiful. Food looked amazing on other tables. We will certainly be back again.

This cafe is in a fabulous location at the side of the estuary. The food is very good and the slices of cake are huge! Slightly expensive I thought, but very high quality food and good service.

Had a lovely vegan falafel wrap ,the staff was lovely and sell all local products !!would definitely go back again

Underwhelmed with the food. Young waitresses friendly, smiling and professional. Senior staff miserable looking and surly.

We visited a few years ago and had absolutely beautiful lunch so wanted to return while on holiday this year! Absolutely the best lunch we've had all holiday, all the food is so fresh and delicious. Bacon Brie be cranberry panini was the best I've...

Lovely spot overlooking river with plenty of outdoor seating. Food was freshly made with fresh and seasonal ingredients.

Really lovely cafe next to the quay in Lawrenny. Fabulous cakes and pastries, delicious ice creams and amazing breakfast and lunch all served here daily. The cafe, which has just recently opened under new management is family run and the service is excellent, plus it...

Lovely food and great covid safe service, we had salad baguette, bacon roll and after chatting for a while an ice cream sundae each. I am so glad we went as it closes this week for the season , definitely a return visit when they...

We went there today and had a lovely meal - quiche and mackerel pate - and of course the view across the waterway is exceptional. They have a very small indoor space which is not being used but plenty of space outdoors with well spaced...

Sat by the estuary, outside but under an umbrella to fend off occasional showers. Freshly prepared, locally sourced excellent picnic style lunch boxes, served by friendly staff and perfectly priced. Pleased we carried on past the pub... Quayside does beers etc too.

No indoor eating yet . A bit disappointing. Ate outside. Ham and Pembroke potatoes excellent. Ciabatta with ham and cheese. Ham excellent. Although covid is still with us I think it's time to open inside. Great views.

Food amazing, scenery beautiful. We went for a 45 minute walk through the woods, across a field (where the views of the estuary were incredible) then back through the village. Then had lunch at the tea rooms. Cannot recommend the food enough. However the amount...

What a lovely place!...... Beautiful setting Delicious food which was well presented An organised system for ordering food Helpful, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?! Liz

Absolutely brilliant food great no service due to COVID quite expensive , good how they has worked out the new system with COVID

Disappointing lunch after many years and many lovely meals here. The covid measures have been taken to the absolute extreme - bordering in ridiculous. You have to communicate with staff through a closed door, collect your food in throw away packaging from a hatch including...

5* Service is slick, order and pay, pick up your food and the recycling is all marked out for you. Food was amazing, looks good and tasted great. You’ll never get bored of the view. Well Done everyone involved. We’ll be back 😊

Absolutely delicious the crab was so fresh, lovely bean salad and the perfect setting I would 110% recommend visiting.

Have been visiting Quayside for few years and always enjoyed. However visited with my granddaughter this week and was disappointed. Inside closed so only ably to sit outside. Setting as always is stunning. Food was let down. Posh prawn baguette served with coleslaw, bean salad...

Lovely place to sit close to river. Cafe is well run and very clean. Food overpriced and not best quality. Bacon brioche turned out to be two small rashers of bacon in a soft brioche roll and half a dozen small fried potato pieces. Dressed...

A real hidden gem. It’s a major hike to get there but it’s worth the effort. The location is stunning set on the banks of an estuary. Service is very good. We had the dressed crab and coronation chicken baguette. Both were superb. Highly recommended

This afternoon my friend and I were lucky enough to have a seafood platter from the Lawrenny Quay Tearooms. The platter was exceptional, we thoroughly enjoyed the range of seafood offered. It was fresh, tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. A huge thank you to...

We were determined to visit on your first day open - we have missed you! Enjoyed our lunch - baguettes made to order - and liked the look of the pods. Appreciate all the hard work that you have put in to make the Quayside...

Maybe Covid 19 measures are making things difficult here, but my crab sandwich was dry with shell inside, (which I hate). Beans for the salad and Tortilla chips. They really didn't go with what I ordered. Not a patch on previous visits.

My 3rd visit to the tearooms and another lovely meal. The tearoom have put in place an excellent system to comply with the Covid-19 requirements, probably the most efficient system I have come across. Well done to them. Food excellent as always, well presented and...

Lovely quayside cafe with lots of outside tables. They have a good selection of dishes and yummy sounding cakes on the menu, and were also able to offer some tasty vegan options for our friends. We had the vegetarian tarts of the day which were...

Wonderful Views, exceptional staff and amazing food. Love this place....a must visit for all the right reasons. They have really exceeded the restrictions imposed on eateries in the area and gone the extra mile. Dressed crab is divine but my favourite is the Brie melt....

This is a nice clean place with lots of home made lunches and cakes. Ideal after doing the circular walk through the woods

Lawrenny Quayside Tearoom boasts delicious homemade food and glorious views across the estuary, as well as a friendly welcome, ample parking and the best COVID safety system of anywhere we’ve visited. We loved the crab sandwiches, iced coffee and chiplets (roast new potatoes). A real...

When in Pembrokeshire we always try to fit in a visit to The Quay at Lawrenny and I am happy to report that on our recent visit the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presents have not spoiled the enjoyment of a visit to this lovely...

Lunched at this favourite cafe on a bike ride. Varied menu but crab sandwiches are the popular choice. An ingenious table buzzer system now in place, food served in recyclable packaging and a great view over the moorings in Lawrenny.

Visited today with my family and we all had a delicious lunch. The food was fantastic; the best crab I’ve had in Pembrokeshire and the cakes (particularly the sticky ginger loaf and quay lime pie) were divine. The staff were so friendly and polite and...

Thoroughly enjoyed the lovely sandwiches and cake. Would recommend to anyone! 😍 service was top notch too

Been coming here for many years for lunch and has always been spot on but today we were very disappointed,menu has changed no ham salad baguette instead ham,baguette, butter coleslaw and crisps all served in a box and coffee in take away cups which was...

It is a bit of a winding drive to the tearoom at Lawrenny but well worth it. The menu was extensive and the arrangements for ordering and collecting food were very well organised and thought out. Food was excellent. We had an artisan bread with...

Top notch! This one of south Pembs hidden gems. Perfectly located in Lawrenny at the quayside (funnily enough). This place is slightly off the beaten track but well worth the effort. Food is freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our party had crab sandwiches and a posh prawn baguette with some cheeky ‘chiplets’ on the side . Plenty of choice, great outdoor seating area and they’ve nailed the ‘how to operate with safe practices for themselves and customers’. We wish them a safe but busy summer ahead.

Visited today, exceptionally well organised in these post lockdown times. Excellent food and well worth a visit.

Fantastic little cafe in a beautiful location. The crab sandwich is a must. Good quality ingredients and really tasty food. Great set up now post covid too, very organised. There was a very long queue as we arrived at 1pm but it went quickly and we only waited 10-15 mins for food. We had the crab sandwich, prawn baguette and mackerel pate and they were all delicious. Great friendly service too.

Great cafe for lunch. Went here before walking the area and had a lovely quiche. It’s small inside and was popular. On a nice day there’s seating outside looking over the estuary with great views.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Quayside. Lovely fresh crab with salads and granary bread. Good selection of homemade desserts; I chose keylime pie which was divine!The quality of our food and value for money was excellent. All food is reasonably priced. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Lawrenny Quay is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our Anniversary Lunch. Sadly, as we live in Dorset we will have to wait for another holiday to return!

We visited here twice during our holiday in Pembrokeshire, and both times the food was fantastic. The quality of the food and the service was excellent and the setting is beautiful.We also decided to go on the short circular walk advertised. I would suggest that you only attempt it if you are very stable footed & children are older. Also take a walking stick /pole. The walk took us 3 hours (not the 1 hour advertised), it was more like scrabbling at points and both my 7 year old and I fell over. It is also important to note when the tide comes in as part of it is along the beach bit of an estuary - apart from that, the views were good!

First time back for over 12 months still fabulous. Great views fantastic food really nice crab sandwiches and lots of lovely cakes to chose from. Choice of bottled local ales!

The dressed crap was Devine, the “Quay Lime Pie” was spot on and spot on. They even had an Estrella de Galicia.

Tea for two with delicious cake overlooking a superb estuary and marina. Such a lovely start to our holiday with comfortable amenities, pleasant courteous and efficient staff and superb outlook. Definitely a place to re-visit.

This is a must to visit for lunch. The food is excellent and homemade. Considering that it is a small place the menu is extensive with lots of specials. The staff are very welcoming and helpful, particularly if you have allergies. I cannot fault it.

We, (myself, partner and our dog) visited the Quayside tearoom after our forest walk and discovered a wonderful place to eat, staff were extremely friendly, food was excellent and you can buy a bag of doggy biscuits for £1.00 which was well worth it, would definitely recommend it and are looking forward to going back very soon

Stopped here for tea after our walk. Popular stop for cyclists. Lots of outside seating. Can purchase local dressed crab, crab sandwiches as well as the traditional tea and cake you would expect for a tea room.

Have visited here on many occasions and again two wonderful meals, the lighthouse keepers lunch was fabulous and crab sandwiches lovely, all arrived very promptly Always a great selection of meals and desserts staff always friendly and welcoming

I have never been happier to give a good review. This place is outstanding. Looks like it's always busy and not surprising. In past years we had visited their other cafe in Angle which has now been sold. We ordered at the counter and I decided to get the desserts there and then. BIG MISTAKE. We both ordered their Lighthouse Keeper's platter. SECOND MISTAKE. We should have shared one as they were MASSIVE. 3 big chunks of cheese, apple, grapes, chutney, crispy baguette and a cheese and cranberry scone. We were really full but as I'd already got the desserts we had to eat them and boy were they fabulous. A jumbleberry cheesecake and a key lime cheesecake. Stunning and very light.

We have been coming here at least once every year when we are on holidays - sometimes even twice and have never been disappointed. The food is always lovely and fresh and the desserts are stunning. They make ham, salad and new potatoes a beautiful plate full of food and my husband always looks forward to the cheese and leek tart.

A lovely Tearoom with seats inside and out. Some very good menu choices besides the usual Tea. Salads and Lobster available.

How lucky we were to get the last two dressed crabs at 2 pm The crab was lovely and quickly served .A warm welcome by the delightful lady who my husband was thrilled with as she was 6 foot .He is 6 foot 6 inches or so he thought until medical check up last week said he was only 6 foot 4 ins .Cant believe he has lost 2 ins at 76 !

We stopped there for Lunch on Sunday, I had the Mackerel Pate and the Wife had the Crab Salad both lovely meals washed down with their Elderflower presse! this is a Cafe well worth a visit and we'll be back for sure!

Visited todasy - last time we went it was so busy we couldn't get anywhere near! Had a wonderful meal. I had beetroot annd feta tart which was served with a great array of salads. My husband had prawn cocktail baguettes. Big portions but I managed a piece of cake afterwards. Lovely setting, very pleasant service, although order taking seemed a bit complicated and uncertain. But a wonderful range of freshly prepared food on the menu and at reasonable prices. We will most certainly return.

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy excellent coffee in complete peace with beautiful views, visit the tea rooms at Lawrenny Quay. As long as you don’t mind driving through country lanes, this provides a slice of Pembrokeshire heaven.

Enjoyed a delicious crab lunch at this quality tearoom in a lovely location at Lawrenny Quay. I opted for the dressed crab salad and my wife the crab sandwich. Both were were fully filled with a great mixture of white and brown crabmeat complimented by good bread as well as home made salad - a delight. Service was speedy, ambience very pleasant and a lovely location to sit either inside or outside. Nice choice of other dishes also for our next visit.

I CHOSE DRESSED CRAB WITH COUSCOUS BROWN BREAD SLICED AND HOME MADE COLESLAW. it tasted really good and the couscous was well flavoured with pulses put in as well. it got full as lunchtime approached and there was a friendly atmosphere. estuary views are all around from the tearoom and they have a good choice of snacks or light meals. worth checking out.

nice and peaceful relaxing place lovely food presentation good value and very pleasant staff nice views from windows and out side seating can get very busy on nice days, will go back this place is only open from Easter to October.

The setting is idyllic. The service is first class. Most of the dishes are superb, good value and so beautifully presented.

If the views don't get you the food certainly will.I was introduced to this little tearoom 2 years ago by a friend and since them we go here each time in the area.

We had a lovely lunch here today. The service is outstanding particularly from Julia and the lady with blonde hair taking the orders. Fantastic Gluten Free options. Lovely setting. Food is delicious. Would reccomend a visit here.

Visited many times and always good quality and variety of food which is welll presented. The service is good with a friendly staff. The proprietors Dndrew and Fi run an excellent tea room.

My family and I visited here on recommendation of my aunt and we were not disappointed. We ordered on arrival and the food was brought out swiftly. Highly recommend the Posh Prawn Baguette and Leek Tart. Lovely setting and ample seating for a tearoom.

We visited to try the Welsh offerings and we was stuck trying to decide what to have from all the lovely sounding blackboard specials.

I live in Pembrokeshire and had never been here before. What can I say, lovely people, gorgeous food and perfect setting. Highly recommended!

All I can say is GO. Fresh fab food. Lovely people menu always a joy, we are walkers and we always make a point of doing this walk so that we can visit cafe for lunch

I visit this place whenever I am down. The Lemon thingy cake and all their food is always perfect and a good atmosphere and selection of cakes and local produce. It is not open all year round so check before heading out.

Stopped here for lunch and had delicious dressed crab. Service was friendly and there was a great drink selection too. Perfect place for a sunny day.

Just wonderful... relaxing hors d’oeuvre with the Muscadet... mains were varied among us and each equally delicious we agreed... shared desserts followed as we’d eaten well by then... nice coffees to “finish us off”

We were on holiday in the area again after a 5 year break. We enjoyed our visit so much in 2013 we had to come again.

We arrived about 12.30 on a drizzly day and the tearoom was very busy. My husband and I didn’t mind the wait but our autistic son doesn’t do waiting very well, the young lady was very accommodating and when I suggested that we wait in the car she was more than happy for us to do that and when a table became available she came and got us. The food was delicious and it wasn’t any trouble to have our sons jacket potato the way he wanted even asking about wether the cheese and onion could be together or on separate plates/dishes. It is very refreshing to come across a place where you don’t feel like your a nuisance but instead made more than welcome. Thanks to the tearoom we had a stressed free lunch which doesn’t happen very often.

After visiting every year on holiday, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to have anything this year! But they offer toast for the sandwiches, which was great or pitta bread. I was a little disappointed that there was an extra charge of £1 per gluten free sandwich, I know the bread is more expensive but not this expensive! They also have gluten free specials too, I had the Frittata, which was gorgeous!

A friend recommended that we visited this little cafe by the harbour and it is well worth the winding lanes drive. Food is fresh, local and homemade and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We both chose Fresh Dressed Crab Salad which was out of this world! It’s easy to see why the tearoom is so busy.

A sunny day and a view of the river make the Lawrenny Tearoom a lovely place to visit. You can enjoy a walk through the impressive woodland behind the tearoom which gives amazing views of the river and then retrace your steps to enjoy lunch. There is plenty of outside seating as well as tables inside. We chose a brie and Serrano ham panini and fresh crab sandwiches both of which were accompanied by salad, coleslaw and some corn chips. Coffee and a slice of carrot cake topped off the lunch for us. Will definitely make this a regular visit.

View. 5 out of 5 Quality. 5 out of 5 Variety. 4 out of 5 but the specials do score 5 out of 5. Quanity v Price. 4 out of 5. Would definitely recommend and return. Lovely circular walk from the Tea Shop.

We try to go to Lawrenny quay when the tide is in, as it is a perfect place to take a stroll, or a longer circular walk and end up in this lovely waterside café with views over the Cleddau estuary.
