The best Sunday lunch we've ever had! I will be recommending this to everyone. We had the welsh rarebit flat bread and leek & cheese croquettes to start which were so tasty. For mains we had the pork belly and rump steak, the portions of meat are so generous and were full of flavour, all the sides were delicious too and roasties were perfection. Compliments to the chefs We can't wait to come back!

Dropped into Tap & Tan in Tenby after the Carten—what a find! The BBQ street food was top notch—packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. Paired perfectly with their great selection of craft beers. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. We will be back soon!

Tucked away down a side street, you’ll need to follow your nose to this smokey greatness. The set up is cool, a great selection craft micro brews. A good choice of smoked and barbecue dishes are on offer. We had the full platter with a side of tenders. All of the meats were juicy, full of flavour and delicious. The pulled pork in particular was all meat rather than a bit of meat and a bit of fat mixed in. The mac and cheese was quite mild and easy to eat... not gloopy and heavy like might get in other places. The sticky toffee pudding was a great end to the meal. Rich and sweet but surprisingly soft and light. We left full and satisfied without that horrible bloat. The crew were great too. Recommended.

I visited Tap & Tan last week & had their brisket burger with a side of pulled pork fries - it was absolutely incredible! Both meats completely melted in the mouth and the flavours were insane! Choice of drinks & definitely must try one of Tenby Brewing Co’s beers whilst there! Can’t wait to come back already!

Went mid week out of season and the place was busy sporting a lively atmosphere. Young couples and families were all comfortable and catered for. Service was fast and polite given the amount of customers. Decor is modern and fresh. The selection of local beers are the bomb! I made my way through 3 before my wife stepped in. If you find yourself in a similar situation, start with “son of a beach”. Finally the grub itself, we shared a platter that came in at 50, a price we found fair as it was delicious. Definitely one for the boys. Meat and beer. If I find myself in the area again I will go out of my way to return!

Undoubtedly amazing experience! Seated in front of the open kitchen and able to watch the amazing chefs in action! We ordered the special that evening which was the Tomahawk Steak seared to absolute perfection. The sticky toffee pudding was to die for and every part of the experience was exceptional, staff were so excellent and attentive - will be returning as soon as possible!

Went for lunch on Friday afternoon, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food & drink we went for sharing platter for main which was excellent, and portion size was generous. Couldn't praise the place enough.

If you're in Tenby and craving seriously indulgent comfort food, Tap & Tan by Tenby Brewing Co. is an absolute must. I tried the Brisket Melt and the Texas Sandwich, both stacked high with juicy, smoky beef and packed with flavour. The Brisket Melt was rich and satisfying, while the Texas Sandwich brought that perfect crunch with crispy onions and pickles. On the side, the Millionaire Fries stole the show—loaded with cheese, herbs, and just the right amount of indulgence. The venue has a relaxed and rustic vibe. Also a good selection of craft brews, especially the Yeah Mango. A proper hidden gem!
