I love Forbidden Florist in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. The decor is absolutely beautiful, staff are always good, polite and friendly. Cocktails are stunning. Food is always fresh and hot, service is quick too!! Pretty location in-front of the river. Not a long walk from a carpark either. Easy to book and tables are very nice and spacious. I would recommend to anyone that is visiting Haverfordwest. 10/10 for me!

On the spur of the moment, light lunch. What a lovely place to eat. Right on the river, sun shining, cold beer, great food, excellent company, and a fabulous server. We loved the experience. Definitely coming here again, in fact we have made plans to eat here in the evening next week. The food is amazing, so tasty and arrives piping hot. We has the parmesan and truffle chips and the mushrooms... oh my... :0) Great choice and reasonable price. 10/10

We came upon The Forbidden Florist by accident, and couldn't be happier that we did, the interior decor and seating is exquisite, the staff were very attentive and helpful, we received first class service. A wide range of drinks & cocktails available ( I had the Easter Special Cocktail it was great). The menu had a wide variety of choice, and finally, the food did not dissapoint, from presentation to taste it was divine. We loved our experience so much we returned to do it all again 2 days later.

We had a nice birthday dinner there. Food was nice and staffs were friendly too. The atmosphere was stunning

Really couldn't fault this place at all. The food was delicious (highly recommended the calamari and beef souvlaki). The staff were lovely and very patient as we were a pretty large group of noisy people. The restaurant is decorated really nicely and there's a small amount of music playing quietly in the background.

Visited on a rainy evening and was not disappointed. Ordered the lamb shoulder which was cooked to perfection. The ambience and decor were was great and the service was as excellent. Kids eat for free on certain days of the week so that’s a bonus. Quite a few parents came through with their kids so I suggest booking in advance to not be disappointed.

Went on a Friday night. It was relatively busy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was a little slow but I understand their vibe is a leisurely meal with time and drinks between courses. I had the duck which was really good.

Had a fantastic lunch here today. I had the Caesar salad that was one of the best I've had. The staff were attentive and friendly. I can't wait to come back and try the cocktails!
