The Bishops
About
A lively public house and restaurant nestled in the historic centre of St Davids, the smallest city in the United Kingdom. With a prime position on Cross Square, The Bishops invites guests to enjoy a menu brimming with fresh Welsh seafood, locally sourced lobster, crab and mackerel, as well as a hearty children’s menu that caters to families of all ages. Whether you’re strolling the nearby cathedral walks, braving the coast, or simply looking for a cosy night out, the warm atmosphere – complete with an open fire and friendly staff – makes it a favourite for locals and visitors alike. Live music weeks, special New Year’s Eve celebrations, and a dog‑friendly outdoor terrace add extra layers of charm to this beloved town fixture. The pub prides itself on its accessibility and can be visited freely—no cover charge is required. Reservations are strongly encouraged during peak times or for larger groups and can be made easily online via the official website. Dishes are reasonably priced, with mains starting around £4, and the extensive bar offers a range of craft beers and local wines.
