We heard some exciting news this week with the launch at Penally Abbey of the Pembrokeshire Pasty and Pie Co. My cousin Ollie (Oliver Booth) and his old friend Dominic Spencer-Churchill have been sourcing great local ingredients from the Pembrokeshire area and have come up with some scrumptious flavours of pies and pasties which include the Tenby Treat (beef and stilton), the Friendly Dragon (I think my girls might have this one down as mine!!) which is chicken in a light curry sauce and the Caldey Island (fish in a creamy white sauce with leeks and tarragon). The Traditional Pembrokeshire Pasty sounds my favourite by far, consisting of Welsh lamb, red currant jelly, currants and mint but certainly different to the norm is the Preselli Mountain Breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, egg, tomatoes and beans!

The Mulberry, Saundersfoot
We were over in Saundersfoot yesterday visiting family and decided to revisit the Mulberry Restaurant for some lunch as we were all starving! I think the last time I was there was following a funeral when we hadn’t eaten all day so ended up there for a steak. Not sure whether it was because we were starving that time but I remember it being an incredibly good rib eye steak!
Anyway, the menu is reasonably priced at around £7 – £8 a dish and they are good sized portions. The menu is fairly traditional with all the old favourites on but that is just what we were fancying! (more…)

The Ocean Restaurant, Tenby
We’ve had a really nice weekend down in Tenby over half term – a journey from hell which took over 6 hours in the thick snow (!) but worth it as the weather in Pembrokeshire was glorious.
We had the obligatory fish and chips on Friday night from the Park Road Fish Bar – delicious as ever and then last night ventured to the Ocean Restaurant, overlooking the harbour and with a special offor of “half price food” as advertised in the Tenby Observer. This offer is until 7pm (I think) so we booked in for 6.15pm as the girls were with us. (more…)

The Qube, Tenby
For years, our family friends the Charnocks, had the Pam Pam Restaurant in Tenby and I could never imagine it as anything else, but now it has been updated and taken over by a young local chef and is renamed the Qube Restaurant. It is right in the heart of the town square in Tenby with seats outside in the daytime.
We booked a table for my husband’s birthday and the girls were looking forward to it as we had had a good meal there last year. (more…)

The Hope and Anchor, Tenby
I cannot visit Tenby (and write my blog!!) without mentioning the legendary Hope and Anchor pub down in St Julian Street! Normally when the sun is relentless (not very often!!) it is a pleasant reprieve on our way back from a hard day on the Castle Beach to stop for a cold pint and a bag of crisps but this trip the weather was not good and we only managed this 2 or 3 times. Nonetheless good to see the same old people that are there most nights and funny that the kids’ highlight of the entire holiday was watching Frostie on a skateboard (rumour has it he’d had a couple of shandies!) being led by 2 Dobermans until he flipped backwards on his bum amongst general roars of laughter!
