About Sailors’ Safety

The Sailors’ Safety is an old smugglers pub at Pwllgwaelod Beach on the Pembrokeshire coast. It dates back to 1593 and is named for the light it once kept burning as a guide to ships traversing Fishguard Bay. It’s now under new ownership as a restaurant and bar opening for lunch and dinner seven days a week with seafood featuring prominently on the menu. The pub also has a beer garden with great sea views and is a popular stopover for walkers on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.

We had a lovely meal here on Thursday night, the best meal we had during our few days in Pembrokeshire. The dog was made to feel very welcome, staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Would not have any hesitation in recommending the restaurant, will definitely be back when we next visit the area.

We enjoyed a superb Sunday lunch here on 20th October. Generous slices of tender beef sirloin from a local producer with all the usual accompaniments. Others had roast pork and sea bass, all pronounced as excellent. Need to book as becoming very popular. Nice to see the pub come to life again after a period in the doldrums.

Fantastic to see the Sailors Safety back open. The food was fantastic and the redecorated Sailors Safety is a lovely and special place

Enjoyed the Dexter burger very much. My wife had the Linguine but disappointed with the quantity of crab. Overall we like the improvements you have made but feel that charging extra for potatoes and vegetables makes your fish dishes too expensive. Love the real ale at the cellar temperature? Well done Tom.

Sunday lunch. Sadly a smaller party than we originally booked for due to illness. Generally the atmosphere and staff were lovely. Minor comments, my husband had the aubergine and said previously it had been cooked more which he preferred. Not a complaint, an observation. My friend loves samphire and she chose sea bass which despite the description came without any samphire and she was disappointed. Because she was not paying she didn’t mention this at the time (silly person!). Also hubby felt his chocolate and orange tart for pudding was a little small in portion for the price. Honest review! No complaints, we will be back!

Stopped off here for lunch after a lovely coastal path walk, had mussels and fries and a few bottles of bluestone beer very nice indeed. So nice we booked for next day Sunday lunch and it didn’t disappoint either, tender Pembrokeshire pork and the trimmings were delicious.

We’ve eaten here twice in recent weeks (both lunchtime) and have been blown away by the quality of the food on offer, every dish is presented perfectly and to have a restaurant that specialises in seafood right on the beach front is wonderful. Well behaved mutts were aplenty…delighted to have this on our doorstep, and I can’t wait to come back in the evening to see if the atmosphere is different.

The food was excellent and really makes the most of the local produce. I had mussels and truffle fries and both were brilliant and good portion sizes. The staff were also friendly and accomodating for our large numbers and tried their best to accommodate us as best they could. I will definitely be returning when next in the area. The only thing I will say is that the booking process was incredibly difficult to sort. We initially tried to book a table of 8+ but the online booking system did not allow us to do so and directs us towards emailing or calling for any booking over 8. There is unfortunately no number for the pub so instead, I tried to book in person but was told that this was not possible and that I needed to go and book online which I had tried to explain was not possible. This left me with the option of a message on Facebook or an email in order to book for the numbers we needed. The Facebook message went unanswered for around a week before I received a holding reply back saying they would check for me. The email was also unanswered. I appreciate completely that the signal down in bay is really bad and it may not be possible to access emails/phone all the time but I really think that a better booking system would be beneficial to the pub.
