The story
Trefloyne Manor in Tenby delivers a grounded approach to modern British cooking within a property that required over twenty years to restore. The family began waking the sleeping manor house when parts of the structure still dated back to the eleventh century. Today the award-winning kitchen operates from The Orangery, a dining room that earned two AA Rosettes for its commitment to culinary excellence. Large windows frame the sweeping grounds beyond, providing natural light for each service.
The British kitchen builds its ever-evolving menu around ingredients delivered straight from coastal quays and regional farms. Shellfish landed daily at Saundersfoot and Milford appear as steamed Penclawdd mussels or pan-fried fish finished with lemon and samphire butter. Roast roots and Pembrokeshire new potatoes accompany heavier mains like the salt marsh gower lamb shank and spring lamb croquettes. Every plate relies on straightforward techniques rather than heavy sauces.
Guests often extend their meals on the sunlit terraces overlooking the valley. The evening service shifts toward relaxed sharing plates and carefully crafted desserts. A Welsh cheeseboard featuring Perl Wen and Snowdonia Black Bomber pairs well with homemade sticky toffee pudding or pear almond tart. The space remains quiet enough for conversation while keeping the pace unhurried until late.
