Visited here several times when on holiday over the last few years. It has always been a great experience and usually eat in as opposed to take away. The restaurant area is nice and is dog friendly with a good food and drinks menu. Prices are good and the food is great, I highly rated the chips. Service has also been spot on. I would recommend this place to anyone....almost as good as my own local 😊.

Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had!!Not sure why Google thinks this is a hotel, but had to come on and say just amazing fish and chips. We ate in the restaurant and was served immediately. There was always a line of people waiting out of the door for the takeaway side, as everyone knows what good food they do here. 10/10

This is a fabulous place to eat if you just worked up an appetite after walking round Pembroke castle. Food was fabulous, very large portions, so make sure you're hungry. And staff were amazing.

Rowlies is a staple of Pembroke Main Street, sitting right on the corner of the busy junction and in the heart of Pembroke. I remember visiting Rowlies years ago when I was a kid and I have fond memories of ordering a large chips and eating them down by the Mill Pond.20 years on and Rowlies is still such a favourite of mine. The portions are generous, the prices fair and the staff are ever so kind and quick. There is a good amount of seating inside and if not, the many scenic spots around Pembroke make for a beautiful view to accompany your fish and chips.What else is there to say? A classic fish and chips shop in a beautiful town. Perhaps just as iconic as the castle itself.Google seems to think it's a hotel but as far I know Rowlies is just a fish and chip shop.

Tasty battered sausage. Best ever! Tasty cod, but dry. Chips were very disappointing. Not the standard we’ve had here previously.. Dry, bland, and couldn’t taste the salt and vinegar. Staff polite as always!

The battered sausage was really nice, even the batter was tasty. On first looks, the curry sauce didn’t look up to par, but it was surprisingly nice. The chips, however, let it down, as you can see some are undercooked and at the bottom they were soggy.
