Yr Hen Printworks
A real gem of a property with bucketloads of history, this restaurant's premises has had former lives as a stone chapel and, as the name suggests, a printworks for a local paper. Today the lovingly restored building has a fresh, modern feel and is the setting for seasonally influenced small plates that sometimes feature meat from the owners' family farm. Be sure to choose the cod when available, especially if served with the fabulous romesco sauce. Their strapline is ‘Drink, Dine, Unwind’ and you can easily do all three without breaking the bank.

Located in Saint Dogmaels, Yr Hen Printworks offers modern cuisine featuring high-quality small plates. Reviews frequently praise the excellent ingredients, particularly the bread and fish dishes, within a relaxed atmosphere that welcomes dogs on the terrace. However, service consistency varies; while staff are generally attentive, some diners experienced significant delays between courses, disrupting the meal pace. Value perceptions are mixed. Although many find the experience worthwhile, others criticize the small portion sizes relative to cost, noting that multiple plates may feel insufficient. Wine selection received mixed feedback. Overall, it is a solid choice for those seeking quality food, provided they are mindful of potential pacing issues.
Suitable for diners seeking high-quality small plates who can tolerate slower pacing; booking the terrace is recommended for pet owners.
