On our first night staying in St Dogmaels we decided to book a table as the menu looked reasonable and the pub was dog friendly. I was told on the phone that dogs are allowed in the bar area only which is pretty standard at most places. We arrived just before the booking time to a packed bar as the FA cup final was on. Unfortunately the table which had been reserved for us was already occupied by 3 people who refused to move when asked to by the staff.

Chatting to the waitress on duty ( sorry we didn't get your name) , who was extremely helpful with local information. We'd arrived just as the kitchen closed, but the chef rustled us up scampi and chips, which were fantastic. The real ale was very good .
