Restaurants in Haverfordwest

Castle and Cleddau town centre — county-town tables, not Tenby seafront.

Haverfordwest restaurants sit in the county-town centre below the castle and toward the Western Cleddau — independents for shoppers and Pembrokeshire through-traffic, not a walled-harbour strip. Tenby is the beach sitting on the same taxi table. Check FSA hygiene ratings on food.gov.uk; we do not quote a mains band until we have dated menus.
