Deliciously fresh food and a well-stocked bar.
We pride ourselves on the quality of food served in our 5-star eco lodge restaurant. Ingredients are fresh, ethically and locally sourced, organic wherever possible and often homegrown onsite. We care deeply about supporting local growers and producers as well as reducing our food-miles. Our menu is deliciously varied and upbeat with generous portions (and seconds!) to fuel hungry adventurers and beautiful presentation by our extraordinarily talented in-house chef.
Whether you’re staying in the eco lodge on one of our all-inclusive weekends or holidays, or simply fancy having a meal with us whilst you join us for our adventure days and half-days, or if you are staying outdoors with our neighbours at Preseli Glamping, you are all very welcome to join us in the eco lodge restaurant and bar. You will be warm and cosy courtesy of our lovely wood-burning stove and underfloor heating, and there’s lots of outdoor seating too in our sheltered courtyard to enjoy the glorious Pembrokeshire sunshine with beautiful views down to the dramatic coastline. Dining al-fresco you’ll hear the chorus of birdsong and woodpeckers from the ancient woodland echoing through the valley.
