A NEW artisan bar and eatery has opened in the heart of a Pembrokeshire town.
Forbidden Florist has opened in The Quay, Haverfordwest as a ‘striking new dining destination.’
The brainchild of family restauranteurs Leon and Esther and Mark and Angela Edwards, they have built the concept of the unique establishment over the last two years with the support of their wider family.
The restaurant is 6,000sq/ft of space for dining and drinking, with 200 covers inside and 40 covers outside in the riverside seating area.
The inside area has an opening roof which will create an outdoor experience during the summer. It also has an island bar and a canopy tree which covers four featured birdcage booths.
The booths will come equipped with their own built-in giant ice buckets.
Forbidden Florist aims to create a magnetic point of difference through innovative design and elegant décor and provide innovative mixology, using locally-sourced ingredients.
The cocktails on offer are created using house infusions and modern mixology techniques with theatrics and added flair.
