The Bishops

Wonderful period pub serving a good selection of beers, spirits, coffees & teas and food. Servings are generous & service is quick with polite staff. Lovely nook beside fire place is a great area. Well worth a stop if you are visiting the cathedral.

Very disappointing experience unfortunately. The staff were not extremely friendly. Our table had 9 empty glasses on it when we sat down. They brought us our cutlery, then our food and walked past several times during our hour there and didn't remove the glasses.

The food was average at best. The batter was soggy and the fish had little taste. The mushy peas were tasteless.

One good point is that the beautiful and very well decorated establishment.

Would not return and for sure would never recommend.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was really good too. The beer garden in the back is really well maintained and clean.
Not a bad pint of Guinness but well off what they've been told as its the best around.
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 s Coors

We sat outside on the terrace which was comfortable whilst enjoying the sun.
The pub had a great atmosphere, the food and drinks were on point and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

On our first visit the service was great and the food was delicious! It was warm enough to sit outside which was nice. 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.

My wife and I popped in here on a whim for Sunday lunch during a weekend away in St David's. We were greeted by a friendly lady and found a table. We only had dinner and a drink but the dinner was up there. Definitely in the top 3 for sure. The Bishops have free WiFi and also lovely views from the rear beer garden. Loads of drinks to choose from also. What's not to like!

A decent pub with a great pub feeling amd well worth visiting for a drink. However the food offering was, at best, entirely average. The salt and pepper Squid was clearly cook from frozen pre-prepared stuff which is disappointing somewhere so close to the sea. None of the staff had tried much of the menu so were unable to knowledgeably recommend any of the dishes. I ended up ordering the sausages with 'new' potatoes (clearly pre-prepared and held under hot lights until served as the skins had begun to dry and wrinkle). The sauce the sausages came in was actually delicious but the local sausages were entirely generic and curiously flavourless. As mentioned, the olive oil and balsamic sauce was lovely and that, and the onions and tomatoes that had been cooked in it, were by far the best part of the dish. So good that it would have been great to mop up with the juice with the bread, but unfortunately the bread was nearly inedible. The only thing 'rustic' about the bread was its clearly aged status. Just boring, pre-bought stodgy slices of badly cooked white baguette that had been cut earlier in the day and then left so that the faces were dry. A quick toasting of the slices would have done wonders. All in all, a meal that left an awful lot to be desired. Cheap, pre-packed food, heated and served with no real concern for consumer. Enjoy the pub for a pint, but definitely eat elsewhere!

Fantastic location in the centre of St Davids. The food was very good, I had the curry which was very tasty and the other half had the Balsmtic sausage which she rated very highly. The staff are spot on and you can see they work very hard to please the customers. After our food we sat in the beer garden overlooking St Davids Cathedral with a stunning sunset. Would I recommend The Bishops - yes but book in advance as they can get very busy.
