For many years Warpool Court has been renowned for the quality of its cuisine. Varied menus offering interesting dishes are prepared by their imaginative chefs using the finest of ingredients, many of them sourced locally. There is an extensive range of fish dishes; home smoked salmon is a speciality. A choice of vegetarian dishes is always available and special diets can be catered for. The spacious restaurant, with glorious sea views, provides an ideal atmosphere for enjoying gastronomic pleasures and fine wines.

The quintessential seaside village evokes harbour vistas and fresh seafood. As its name indicates, the Old Pharmacy is situated in a former chemist's shop in Lower Solva on the Pembrokeshire Coast. The informal ambience, displays by local artists and friendly staff make it a warm and inviting place where one can imbibe the spirit of the place while tucking into delicious local fare.

A morning's excursion to build up the appetite is adequate preparation to enjoy lunch with such dishes as Solva harbour crab pot, with vegetables, cream and brandy, oriental confit of duck salad, shredded duck in an oriental marinade, for a start. "Welsh Black" organic fillet steak, the Old Pharmacy bouillabaisse or a seafood extravaganza with lobster and garlic butter, mussels in a light curry sauce, tiger prawns tempura and crab make for a substantial main course. A white chocolate cointreau crème brûlèe or a Welsh cheese selection can bring the meal to a close. A glass of wine to keep company with agreeable food completes the satisfying picture.

Situated in a typical Pembrokeshire sturdy house in the attractive town of St David's, Morgan's Brasserie offers an unashamedly fish-based menu, and who can blame them with all that wonderful produce around so near to hand. Of course there are concessions for Welsh black beef and lamb but once you've seen the Porthgain lobsters going out you don't stand a chance. There's a brief but rewarding wine list, with a good house selection at under £15.
