Cresswell is a name well known in our twin towns. A dedicated husband and wife team who run the Ocean Lab Café and Cresswell’s café/restaurant & bar.

Jude Cresswell grew up in Pembrokeshire before spreading her wings and meeting her husband Allan, together they found their calling and became publicans in Swindon. The arrival of their son Rhys triggered a move home to Pembrokeshire where they purchased Fern Villa in Goodwick which they renovated and Jude ran their own Guesthouse, whilst Allan worked for a local catering supplies company.

It was not long before the couple set up another business in Fishguard, a café located in the centre of town. 18 years later Allan runs Cresswell’s Café, a very popular place to go, where the local Sisters from the convent are regular faces for the friendly and often humorous conversation. Recently refurbished and licensed to sell alcohol, Cresswell’s Café is the place to be.

The Coffee Shop at Ocean Lab needs no introduction to our residents.  It’s a great place to be with children, dogs, muddy boots, all are welcome in this incredible space (outdoor space for the dogs) Jude and Allan took on the Café here 13 years ago and have built up a successful business where the staff and customers are not only acquaintances but friends. The camaraderie between Jude and her loyal staff and customers shines through.
