Tafarn Sinc is situated in the heart of the Preseli Hills in the splendour of the Pembrokeshire National Coastal Park. It is the highest licensed pub in Pembrokeshire located in the shadow of Foel Cwm Cerwyn in the rural hamlet of Rosebush.
The winding roads and lanes to Rosebush take you on a number of breath-taking scenic routes. Once you arrive you will see a railway platform with passengers ready to board the coming train. Surely it will soon arrive...
Tafarn Sinc has featured prominently in the social life of the area since its inception in 1876 as the Precelly Hotel. There have been several notable landlords. Peg Lewis reigned supreme for 52 years until 1991. Then followed by Brian Llewelyn and his family, when the present name was adopted, for a quarter of a century. Hafwen and Brian 'Bici' Davies were the mine hosts.
It’s reputation is known far and wide as the repository of the Pembrokeshire ‘wês, wês’ dialect and for its unique ambience of yesteryear nostalgia conveyed by the agricultural implements, the flannel shirts and flitches of real ham hanging from the ceilings. And not forgetting the castrating pincers and the sawdust strewn floors.
All modern day whims have been resisted. The charm of days gone by remains pungent. It can be felt on stepping over the threshold. It can be breathed in. It will surely leave an indelible impression that will make you want to return soon. Listen to the constant string of Welsh songs that will make you feel at home.
Enjoy the romance of the hills over a succulent meal. Have a thirst quenching drink following a walk across the Preseli ridge. Tafarn Sinc is the hearth of hiraeth. Do return for Sunday lunch. Dogs are welcome.

We went for afternoon drink. Such a lovely character laid back atmosphere and outside space perfect for our children. We booked for evening meal the following day and were not disappointed, good food great value for money
If you prefer a traditional Pub, this is the pub for you. Loads of atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff, a great range of fabulous beers. BUT, the best bit of all was the Sunday Roast. It was quite simply the best roast dinner I've had in years! Definitely going back...
31/05/2023 our first visit to this lovely place. The staff were very helpful and the bacon roll was one of the best ever! Had a pot of tea for two and a nice pint of local ale. All reasonably priced. Would like to come back to try the Welsh Cawl. Diawn Diolch.
Everything about this place is authentic. Even the laundry hanging over the fireplace and being onve besides the GWRailway makes this such an inviting place to visit. The food, drinks and atmosphere was really inviting, even on a cold spring day. Our doggo liked it too. The surrounding area is of gorgeous sites and walks. No wonder it's classified as "outstanding beauty" - you won't be disappointed.
The barmaid who was from Cardigan and could speak Welsh was lovely. And a local man who we met was equally as nice. Warm and friendly pub, plus just so fascinating. Food was very nice but small portions. I can't wait to go back and visit again for possibly my husband's birthday in October.
