The Fat Seagull

Honestly, I just picked this place because of the name - it's perfect for a seaside town! Arrvied, full pick of any table, asked to covid sign in at the door. Menus are on the table but weren't a full menu - it only contained savoury lunch items and nothing else. When the woman came over to take the order, I had to ask if they served hot chocolate, the answer being yes, no options given for sizes or any extras on it, so I just asked for 'all the trimmings' just in case. This came out as whipped cream and marshmallows. Had no idea what sweet food was offered so I asked if they did scones. The answer was 'yes' but again no further offerings so I asked what it came with, to be told jam, cream & buttercream. Ordered that and asked for extra cream, to be told they're quite big pots, so I said that was fine as I liked a lot on my scone. The woman then said that she'd just bring me the one and I could ask if I needed more - I already did! As soon as the scone arrived, I immediately asked for the extra cream. I would've appreciated being given it in the first place, I knew I'd want it, hence the ask. The food was nice, I had a tuna sandwhich so nothing really special but very well dressed with salad, coleslaw and tortilla chips. Standar pots of jam and well known brand of cream with the scone. It seems the hot chocolate was the highlight. It's a pleasant place with a relaxed atmosphere and low lighting, nothing wrong with the food at all just don't expect gourmet. It's a cafe essentially, though I can't speak for what's offered as part of the restaraunt changeover in the evening. I do feel the service could have been improved. A full menu would obviously be helpful, without looking online you've got no idea what they offer. I chose and asked for things I wanted, but there could have been a dozen other items I fancied, I'll never know!

Dropped on this little gem by accident but so glad we did. Situated on the Main Street of Tenby town you can eat inside or out at the tables in the street directly at the front of the restaurant. I had the fat seagull burger which came topped with onion rings, side salad and a generous bowl of rustic chips. Hand on heart, this is the BEST burger I have ever tasted and the onion rings were amazing. The staff here are the most friendly restaurant staff we have come across in the whole of Pembrokeshire, they are friendly in a nice down to earth way and came across as dear and genuine! I noticed a French couple sitting next to us who were struggling to understand the menu, one of the waitresses went out of her way to have a go at speaking French to help the couple, although she only had basic French language she made her best of it at which the couple appeared impressed Of her efforts to help them, it made me feel proud to see she was welcoming our neighbouring countries like this and putting the brits in a good light. This place has got a nice rustic feel to its interior, it’s clean and pleasing to the eye. I later had a pot of tea which was delivered to the table in a really large teapot which I thought was very generous of them. The photo was taken on our first visit, we returned two days later for the same again. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to a point where I would say don’t miss It from your itinerary when visiting Tenby. Can’t wait to go back....

Good little cafe on the main street leading down to the harbour. Friendly staff. I had a cheese and ham sandwich, prawn jacket potato and a deep fried chicken with homemade chips. Reasonable priced.

The restaurant looked great, although that’s where it ended. The service was dreadful , took ages to order drinks. They were not very attentive. Took dishes away when others were still eating. I had mussels and they were cold, the bread served with it was just a plain white baguette. They didn’t notice it was not eaten and they didn’t take it off the bill. I wouldn’t go there again for food quality and service . They weren’t that busy so no reason for any of it. Please don’t advertise you won’t be disappointed because we were and I don’t think others at the table were overwhelmed either. Poor show The Fat Seagull.
