In the bar room proper you've got little round tables and benches and comfy banquettes, in the dining room you've got beautifully laid cutlery and menus just waiting for your custom. The Oak is about as homely as you can get, with a truly awesome open fire (which served to thaw my icy self out on our night of arrival here for Christmas... seriously, have we managed to have a temperature somewhere above freezing since the start of December?!?), tiled floor, stone walls and a warm welcome alongside a nice selection of ales. It was the very first place I had a drink with the BF when we arrived after the long and arduous journey to our first Christmas together. That evening beverage in the pub made the nerve-wracking experience of meeting his parents far easier. As expected they were wonderful, but the wonderful Oak did calm my frazzled stress receptors rather a bit! It's a free house so you'll find guest ales aplenty, and they do a perfectly solid white wine spritzer which I've always enjoyed. Even when it's crowded it has that warm, bustling ambience one has learned to appreciate during this festive period. As long as we have family friends in Saundersfoot, I'm sure The Oak will be a regular stop-off for many years to come.

On a warmer day we might have enjoyed sitting outside in their quaint little beer garden, but it was the perfect moment to bag a table by the fire. Top marks for a menu that takes vegetarians seriously and gives us plenty of tasty options and glowing praise too for the steaks that were cooked to perfection and for the excellent the cod & chips in Dougs special batter. OK the ladies loos had seen very much better days, but I'll gloss over the details since everything else was terrific. Well worth a visit if you're in Tenby and looking for a budget friendly eaterie.

The Ferry Inn is a very popular gastropub in an enviable position on the River Teifi. (The views…read moreare fantastic.) It has a cosy bar area, three inside eating areas with river views, two outside eating areas and a terrace to really enjoy the view. They are happy to accommodate diners with dogs (there are also dog-free areas) and it's very child-friendly (there's a children's menu, and some tables seat eight). The menu offers starters at £7.50-£7.95, mains around £18 (except fish and seafood at £24 and steak at £29), desserts at £7.50, as well as a choice of ice creams and sorbets (£3.50-£7.50). They offer a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. We chose Sea Bass served with Lemon Parsley Caper Butter, Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Garden Salad with Buckwheat & Broad Beans with Honey Mustard Sauce & New Leaf Microgreens (£24); and the one of the vegetarian options: Glamorgan Crumble a tower of Leeks, Carrot, Breadcrumbs & Mature Cheddar Cheese, Garlic & Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Glebelands Salad, Quinoa, Bean, Vegetable Salad & Fresh Herb White Sauce (£19.95). We followed this with Dark Cherry & Marzipan Bake Vanilla Ice Cream £7.50. Overall, the food was very good, except that the seabass was (disappointingly) over done and therefore falling apart. I always think it's a little odd serving a cold side salad on the side (or in my case underneath) a hot dish, although overall the flavours did work well together. The Glamorgan Crumble was very tasty. Service was a little manic: some staff seemed to run around all evening, and we were served by four different people during the evening. (One was very nice, two were a bit brusque.) They were busy, but we had booked (and were expecting) a table in the downstairs area with a river view, but were shown to a different part of the restaurant area. There were, however, a number of reserved tables which remained empty through the evening, so it seems like they had a few no-shows. Overall we had a nice evening: with two glasses of wine, the bill came to £75 for two, excluding service. It's firmly worth four stars, and of course you're paying for the location, but at these prices, getting the fish right and calmer service would land a five.
