Really nice food with loads of vegan and vegetarian options, which was nice to see. Chips were some of the nicest chips I've ever had. Nice pint and friendly staff.Have to visit if you're staying in the village or near by.

We were staying locally for a week. We had a lot drinks over a few days. Very Friendly staff and locals. We had a meal on our last evening. The menu had a good selection at reasonable prices. Due to the time of year , a few things were off. Portion sizes were good. Everything was cooked well and tasty. Except my onion rings weren't fully cooked , and the burgers weren't homemade . ( A chef in our group)Well worth a visit.

Nearly gave this place a miss due to previous reviews, but after speaking to a local, I was advised to give it a try.My wife, our two dogs and myself called in on the off chance mid-September 2024 for an evening meal. The Lobster Pot has been under new management since Easter. The owners are still finding out what is wanted by both locals and, at this time of year, the decreasing tourist sector. It is a typical pub grub menu, but as we were rather late eating, we were informed that a few items were sold out, so be prepared to adapt if your favourite dish is not available. I am not a vegetarian, but was recommended the vegetarian lasagne. It was delicious and served piping hot. Limited puddings but take what is on offer. Both the apple crumble and chocolate brownie were great. A choice of bottled cider, an IPA, which ran out as I was going for a second pint, so settled for a Felin Foel Double Dragon to round the night off. Lovely atmosphere and engaging in conversation with the owners, staff, locals and also a guest staying there made it a great memorable experience!Will definitely return next September to The Lobster Pot as we continue our trek along the coastal footpath. We wish everyone at this pub every success for the future!

Went for food had chicken goujon burger, chips were cold burger bun was stale not impressed with service at all,Sadly ended up going for a second time, ordered cod and chips, again chips were cold mushy peas were barley defrosted, and cod had no taste at all, suspect it was pollock as this is cheaper and tasteless, had apple crumble for desert, it tasted more like cod than the cod but certainly not like apple, I would avoid this place like the plague, which coincidentally is what it looks like the staff have caught

Lovely place, not busy despite being in the high season. Looking forward to seeing it out of season, it looks like a good local.

This was an ideal place to explore the local area or walking the coastal path. The location was very quiet, especially overnight. Marloes beach was a 30 minute walk across fields and down country lanes with Skomer and Skokholm islands just off the coast. The food was good, although the beds were a little on the firm side for us.
