The Bishops Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "We both had the cod. We were pleasantly surprised by the portion size. It was cooked to perfection!!"
• "The sauce the sausages came in was actually delicious but the local sausages were entirely generic and curiously flavourless."
• "Food was tasty"
• "the burger was AMAZING! So well cooked, so char grilled, so yummy"
• "The food: I had the fish and chips, fried prawns and chicken burger over a few days of course. My wife had the Chilean sea bass. All were 5 out of 5."
• "Fish and chips were excellent as was the ploughman's."
• "The lamb kofta burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly."

Cons:

• "It was embarrassing to be moved, holding our plates of sub average food, through the pub."
• "crab salad meat placed in a plastic shell and not very much for £16"
• "whatever you do don’t order the Welsh Lamb Cawl"
• "A nice enough pub but the ‘catch of the day’ was definitely not caught that day. The dover sole was so far from fresh that we had to order something else."
• "Then when we started eating all 3 steaks were unedable and full of fat."
• "The salt and pepper Squid was clearly cook from frozen pre-prepared stuff which is disappointing somewhere so close to the sea."
• "Had fish pie £17.50 for dry mash potato and fish bits disappointing"

Service

Pros:

• "Good food and good service."
• "Lovely friendly staff, great atmosphere."
• "Staff friendly and welcoming."
• "Food was very tasty and service was friendly and prompt."
• "Orders delivered in time. Good polite service."
• "the staff were really helpful and friendly"
• "Staff were absolutely lovely, attended to us straight away and we all had food within 30 minutes! Amazing service."

Cons:

• "Most staff were not wearing masks or face shields, neither were half the clientele."
• "all but one of the serving staff weren't at all helpful or friendly"
• "Very, very expensive and staff behind the bat not very friendly, avoid unless you have lots of money to waste."
• "Disappointingly the staff were not interested in what was wrong with the first order."
• "Do not pay on the app here. It will say payment was unsuccessful so you try again and it charges you twice."
• "The staff were a little too preoccupied to serve for the first couple of minutes but the waitress who brought our food was lovely."
• "The waitress was not as polite as I'm used to (arguing with one of my party about why she wouldn't have said the meal name she thought she heard because they don't serve it there - what was the point in proving herself right?) but it was fine."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Good place. Warm pleasant atmosphere with good food and drink."
• "A really great 'village pub' as they call it in the heart of the city."
• "A busy place, with a lovely atmosphere."
• "Great staff, efficient and friendly at all times."
• "It's got a great atmosphere inside and outside in the beer garden. Both are absolutely fantastic."
• "Cosy feeling pub with a large terrace garden for nice days."
• "A very nice pub in St. Davids."

Cons:

• "Gave me an unfriendly atmosphere where I felt I couldn't enjoy myself and eat."
• "Very disappointing after reading the reviews a shame really for the price we paid."
• "The atmosphere was quaint and historic, with whitewashed walls, a low roof and decorations that looked as though they’d been there for some time. Good pub vibes."
• "Great beer garden. Inside was really dark."
• "You know it's not a good place when staff don't even ask how your meal was."
• "The following night (Friday) it was a completely different atmosphere, very noisy and cramped inside for a comfortable dining experience, so we had a drink and ate elsewhere."
• "Unfortunately a guy with just a drink on the table next to us decided to roll up a cigarette whilst we were eating."

Value

Pros:

• "The prices for meals were a little higher than some similar restaurants in the city, but when they were served I was happy with what I got - the size of the meals matched what you paid for."
• "We were lucky to get a table outside on the evening as inside was full."
• "Make sure you book early in the holiday season as it gets very full though the outside area is first come first served so great if the weather is good."
• "There are more pricey places to eat in the city but the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff made us go back."
• "Wholly recommended and excellent value for money."
• "everyone enjoyed the food the portions were really good value for money"
• "Very good food for a reasonable price."

Cons:

• "5 pieces for £7. Tourist prices for gullible tourists I suppose"
• "Very, very expensive and staff behind the bat not very friendly, avoid unless you have lots of money to waste."
• "Again what I find sad is the prices businesses are charging for food and drinks in West Wales. Well over priced sadly, £5 for a Guinness and I think £4.60/80 for a Coors."
• "the food was extremely overpriced for the quality"
• "Food here is of very poor quality, and very expensive for what it is"
• "Very expensive place to eat."
• "Cheap, pre-packed food, heated and served with no real concern for consumer."
