The St Brides Inn, Haverfordwest

Tidy side street pub with quite a bit of character, a collection of hanging jugs is always a selling point for me. Blue is the colour both inside and out. Big on the RNLI with a table of branded goods for sale and indeed we were joined by a gaggle of the lads from the local station. Major downside was that the majority of space is for food and topers were squashed in the narrow right hand bar so I struggled to relax, sat at a very cramped small table on a stool with bar standers backsides a couple inches from my face. No longer a Marston’s pub, there were four cask with 2x Sharps in Atlantic and Sea Fury (NBSS 3) and local beers from Bluestone and Caffle Brewery's Sholly (4, after the first went back as barrel bottom and exchanged with no fuss for a fresh barrel pour). I suspect I’d have been more positive had I been at a quieter time – the beer was tasty and eclectic but the drinkers desperately needed more space. GBG’22 listed. 6.5

The Saint Bride's Inn is just a minute's walk from the Castle and directly opposite the village's pay and display car park. The interior is quite small, with only a handful of tables. There are a couple more outside immediately in front of the pub and further outdoor tables adjacent to the car park on the opposite side of the road. Be careful if heading over the road, as there are no pavements here and you step right out into oncoming vehicles. The landlord was friendly and chatty. He had a young and efficient team helping him in the kitchen and behind the bar. 4 ales were on - Sharp's Atlantic & Sea Fury, Caffle Skirp Gold & Bluestone Bedrock Blonde. The latter two were my first sighting of some local beers and whilst the Skirp Gold wasn't completely to my taste, it was well kept. The better of the 2 pubs in Little Haven.

Lovely pub just off the main street. Excellent service. I preferred it in here. 4 ales on including Sharps Sea Fury and a couple of local beers. The one I had from the Caffle brewery was excellent. Well worth a visit.

St Brides is a smallish back street pub close to the main car park in Little Haven. Internally it is divided up into two sections, a carpeted dining area and then a stone walled bar area with an open fire place. Outside there is a terraced garden area across the road. It’s a Marstons house and had three handpumps with Banks's Bitter and Marstons Pedigree but fortunately complemented by Ringwoods Boondoggle. The latter was a decent pint albeit a bit steep at over £3.00 a pint. It was quite quiet on the early lunchtime we visited so difficult to judge, but it seemed an OK pub
