Pembrokeshire’s pub coverage via CAMRA’s own “Dog Friendly” tag is strong across most of the county’s coastal towns, though cafés and restaurants are, as usual, much thinner and harder to verify.
Verified pubs (CAMRA “Dog Friendly” tag), by town
Haverfordwest: Farmers Arms, Holloway. Tenby: Bush Inn, Crown Inn, Harbwr Tap & Kitchen. Pembroke: Hope Inn, East End Square (water bowl provided). Fishguard: Ship Inn (“dog friendly, and also muddy boot friendly”), Fishguard Arms. Narberth: Angel — note that dogs are welcome in the beer garden only here. St Davids: Bishops, Grove. Saundersfoot: Royal Oak Inn, Old Chemist Inn. Goodwick: Hope & Anchor Inn. Milford Haven: Martha’s Vineyard, Milford Marina.
Cafés and restaurants: thin, and lower confidence
No council- or CAMRA-equivalent database exists for cafés, so this list leans on local blog sources rather than first-party venue statements — worth a quick check of the venue’s own social media before relying on it. Tenby has the most leads: The Cove and Saltys Beach Bar and Restaurant are both described locally as dog-friendly, alongside Harbwr Tap & Kitchen already listed above as a pub. St Davids: Bishops (also listed above) is described as serving home-cooked food to dogs as well as people. Milford Haven: Coco’s, on Milford Waterfront, is reported to have run a dedicated dog menu since 2020, though we couldn’t independently confirm this on the venue’s own site or socials. Newport (Pembrokeshire): The Canteen is reported to be dog-friendly during the day, also unconfirmed first-party.
Genuine gaps, and a closure note
We found no verified dog-friendly pub, café or restaurant in Pembroke Dock or Neyland this round, and no verified pub in Newport (Pembrokeshire) beyond the unconfirmed café lead above — genuine gaps rather than a research shortfall. A note on a well-known collision: a pub called “the Crispin” in Newport that turns up in some searches is actually in Newport, Isle of Wight, not Pembrokeshire. Several of the pubs above carry older CAMRA survey dates, so it’s worth a quick check of opening hours before a special trip.
A busy pub on a summer weekend, full of holidaymakers and other dogs, takes some settling into for a nervier dog. A calming bite before you set off can help take the edge off. If the anxiety runs deeper than a new environment, that’s a conversation for your vet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a dog-friendly café in Pembrokeshire?
Tenby has a couple of locally-reported leads (The Cove, Saltys), but coverage countywide is thin and mostly unconfirmed by the venues themselves — worth a quick check before you go.
Is the Angel in Narberth dog-friendly?
Yes, but only in the beer garden, according to its own CAMRA listing — not inside the pub itself.
Is there a dog-friendly pub in Pembroke Dock or Neyland?
We couldn’t verify one in either town this round — a genuine gap.
