The Ffynnone Arms is a lovely old pub which has been at the heart of its largely Welsh-speaking community in rural North Pembrokeshire for a quarter of a millennium. It was originally linked to the Ffynnone Estate, whose 18th Century mansion house was designed by the architect John Nash, who also designed Buckingham Palace. The name “Ffynnone” (pronounced “Funohneh”) is derived from the Welshffynnonau – “wells” - of which there are a number in the vicinity.

Now tastefully renovated and ably managed by landlady Hedydd Phillips the pub has earned a reputation across the County for its real ale and food. A fine selection of local and regional ales are on offer. Hedydd - “skylark” in Welsh – also justly prides herself on her food, much of it sourced locally. Gluten, dairy and sugar free menus are available.

Not only is this an excellent pub for ale and food, it offers a 50p a pint discount on real ale to CAMRA members (on production of a current membership card). TheFfynnone is deeply involved in the life of the community. In particular it holds regular Quiz Nights to raise funds for local charities, whose certificates of appreciation adorn a wall of the pub. Visitors from everywhere are made welcome. Our Branch Pub of the Year is well worth seeking out. It is on the B4332 which branches off the A40 eastward at Eglwyswrw toward Boncath and ultimately Cenarth. Just keep going along this road for a few miles through Boncath and the pub is on your left. There is ample car parking at the rear. The postcode is SA37 0EH and the pub’s website is https://www.ffynnonearms.co.uk . The website offers information about local places to stay and how to get to the beautiful Ffynnone waterfall in woods nearby. Not to be missed.
