Five Arches Tavern, Tenby

The Five Arches Tavern occupies the prime position on the junction of Upper and Lower Frog Streets and St Georges Street, right in the tourist centre of Tenby. So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that this place is food focussed and aimed at taking the visitors pound. But in saying that, it does it quite well. Internally it’s quite a nice traditional pub decor and layout with the one roomed brick walled interior subdivided into several distinct sections with plenty of tabled seating. There were several families in on the lunchtime I visited and , although I didn’t eat I could see why when looking at the food menu, as there is an extensive menu of tradition pub mains, which is complemented by an equally long children’s menu being smaller portions of the adult meals instead of some e-numbers with chips. And kids are allowed into the pub up to 9pm in the evening. But also the beer was OK as well and it unusually for this neck of the woods seemed to be a Theakston house (although I could well have got that wrong) , and had Theakston Black Bull on hand pump along with Brains SA. So, similar to the Buccaneer Inn, a pub that more fulfils the role of a restaurant, but decent enough all the same.
