A restaurant which is part of an award-winning hotel was crowned the Best Place To Eat in Pembrokeshire.
The Fernery Restaurant at Grove of Narberth was given the award at the 2024 Visit Pembrokeshire Croeso Awards on October 30.
The awards ceremony took place at Pembrokeshire College and recognised all businesses that have provided memorable experiences for visitors this year.
“Our approach in the kitchen has always been about showcasing the best of our local produce, and crafting dishes that celebrate the richness of the region and the seasons.
“This award is a reflection of the commitment and creativity of the entire team, both in the kitchen and beyond.
“Thank you to Visit Pembrokeshire for organising such a memorable evening celebrating tourism in our county.”
“I'm especially grateful to the talented hospitality learners from Pembrokeshire College who worked alongside my kitchen brigade, to plan and deliver the entire menu, under the guidance of our Fernery front-of-house team too.
“It was a fantastic night celebrating Pembrokeshire’s incredible talent. Thank you to all who made it happen.”
Fernery Restaurant will go forward to the Southwest Regional Awards later this year, followed by the National Visit Wales Awards in spring 2025.
The restaurant also posted on their Facebook page: “We're thrilled to announce that the Fernery Restaurant at Grove of Narberth won 'Best Place To Eat' at last night’s Visit Pembrokeshire Croeso Awards!
“Thank you to Visit Pembrokeshire for organising such a memorable evening celebrating tourism in our wonderful county and to Pembrokeshire College for hosting.

A review from this month (November 2024) said: “Party of eight to enjoy my 70th birthday meal. We opted for the seven-course tasting menu with six of us taking up the wine pairing.
“All courses were beautifully presented, and the flavours were spot on.”
