The Bristol Trader is known for its food and has a 4.4 rating on TripAdvisor.
Following the fire, the pub was forced to close while the damage was repaired which could have been disastrous just before the busy Christmas season.
However, Team Trader launched a canny contingency plan and quickly moved its kitchen to the nearby Castle Hotel on Castle Square, Haverfordwest, opening there on November 18.
The bar reopened at the end of November. However, the kitchen of the pub remained closed while repairs continued to be carried out.
This year the Trader has held a series of pop-up dining events at the pub, while the kitchen gets back up and running.
Last Sunday the pub opened its kitchen fully, meaning that the Bristol Trader is running as normal for the first time since the fire.

'We can't wait to have our restaurant back full again and to see all our lovely customers,' said the Trader team before the grand reopening, which finished off with music and dancing from local band The Connections
As well as reopening the kitchen, the pub is offering a new menu from its new kitchen.
Among the meals on offer are Trader burgers and grills, breakfasts, flatbreads and the famous trader sexy wedges.
Food is now being served daily at the Bristol Trader; from 12pm-3pm and 5pm to 8pm Monday to Saturday, with Sunday lunch served between 12pm and 3pm on Sunday.

Aldi confirms when back to school uniform bundles will be back for £5
Parents can beat the back to school rush with Aldi's uniform bundle that will be back earlier than ever. With about a month left until the summer holidays, kids across Scotland will be getting excited for some well deserved time off. For them, they don't need to think about school again for about six weeks. Unfortunately, the parents aren't so lucky, as many of them will know that this time of year is always quite busy, especially since they'll be the ones needing to get in all the essentials ahead of a new term. Those who are looking to beat the back to school rush are in luck, as Aldi has just announced when its popular school uniform bundle will be arriving back in stores - and prices have been frozen at £5 for a fourth year running. The budget supermarket chain often comes to the rescue of many families' bank balances when they need to get the kids ready to go back to school, whether that be after the Christmas or summer break. The affordable bundle, which is often hugely popular with parents every year, will officially make its return to the Specialbuys aisle from Sunday, June 29, the earliest it has ever been available. Not only does this give families the opportunity to stock up on uniform essentials well ahead of time, but the range offers a 12-month guarantee, so parents can be rest assured that their money is going towards something that will last. To help kit kids out on a budget, the range includes a sweatshirt or a cardigan for £1.50, while a two pack of polo shirts are priced at £1.75. There's also trousers, skirts and cargo shorts that cost £1.75. That means, if parents were to bag one item of each, they will be spending just a fiver on a full school uniform, so they don't need to worry about breaking the bank at an already expensive time of year. All the items in the uniform bundle have been crafted from recycled polyester materials, with an assortment of colours and sizes available for children aged between four to 12 years old.

However, while Aldi's school uniform range is back earlier than ever, allowing parents to beat the back to school rush, it can be popular. And, with Specialbuys, once they are gone, they are gone. So to avoid missing out, it's worth marking Sunday, June 29 on the calendar, as that is when the bundles will be back in stores nationwide. While Aldi has certainly gotten on the ball early with the upcoming arrival of its school uniform range, it is worth noting that many other supermarkets and high street retailers offer them closer to the time, so it's worth keeping an eye out for any future deals. Rival Lidl has also been known to launch its very own bundle for going back to school. While the German chain has not announced details for this year, it was available last year, also for £5, during July, making it another to keep an eye on over the coming weeks. Aldi's school uniform bundle is not the only upcoming Specialbuy that has shoppers excited, as the German chain has recently announced the launch of its new Premium Home Fragrance collection that costs under £4. Boasting an assortment of room sprays, reed diffusers and glass jar candles, the luxurious collection features three "timeless" scents that will uplift any home for spring and summer - bergamot & vanilla, lemon & neroli and mine & white tea. Aldi's Back to School Uniform range includes:

Tourists urged to avoid popular bar which 'charges customers 100 Euro for a beer'
Tourists have urged fellow holidaymakers to avoid a notorious bar in Greece that is 'charging €100' for a beer. DK Oyster claims it 'boasts an exceptional atmosphere with fantastic service, beautiful seaside view', however, its reviews say otherwise. But Brits have taken to Tripadvisor to warn against the business, which is located on the idyllic island of Mykonos. Just one week ago, a British man revealed how he was charged an eye-watering €100 (£84) for a lager, before bar staff attempted to haggle at the price. Detailing his experience, Nathan said: 'Asked for a seat in the sun and a drinks menu, he offered us 1 litre of lager for €100! 'Once we said no thanks he proceeded to drop the price but we didn't stick around, if you find yourself here, do yourself a favour and walk on to another bar as they don't try to rip you off and the atmosphere is much better. We ended up paying €7 [£6] each for a lager.' Another unhappy customer, named Sue, told how she and her group of friends were enticed in with the offer of free sunbeds, before ordering drinks without a menu. She explained: 'When we asked for the total, we were presented with a bill just under €400 [£337] for a handful of drinks. 'We were shocked to discover we were charged for more drinks than we had actually ordered, including the so-called 'free' one. Even soft drinks like Coca-Cola, we were told, were also €35 [£29] each.' TripAdvisor has even slapped a warning on the bar's official page, encouraging potential customers to carry out their own research first before visiting. It reads: 'Tripadvisor has been made aware of recent media reports or events concerning this property which may not be reflected in reviews found on this listing. 'Accordingly, you may wish to perform additional research for information about this property when making your travel plans.' A menu posted online shows the extreme pricing for beverages, with a glass of white wine Chardonnay costing €130 (£109). An Aperol will set you back €58 (£49), a Jack Daniel's €49 (£41), while a Pimm's is €58 (£49) by the glass. A receipt posted by one holidaymaker showed how they were charged a staggering €136 (£114) for two glasses of prosecco. The fresh complaints come after MailOnline visited the Mykonos restaurant last year and was hit with a fee of over €100 for a mouthful of crab, plus service. TripAdvisor has slapped a warning on the bar's official page, encouraging potential customers to carry out their own research first before visiting In response, however, the restaurant's owner Dimitrios Kalamaras insisted that his establishment had been 'unfairly traduced by a freeloader who wanted to eat for gratis and position herself as an influencer'. To determine which of these accounts was closer to the truth, MailOnline went undercover at the restaurant, posing as innocent holidaymakers who had wandered into the restaurant after spotting it by chance. Three years ago, following damaging publicity in the US media when two American tourists were charged €600 for two drinks and a portion of crab legs, the Greek government came down hard on the restaurant. The minister of tourism, Vassillis Kikilias instructed the Cyclades Regional Tourism Agency to investigate and they duly found several tax violations in the company's books, leading to a guilty plea and a fine of €31,000.

Major retailer's systems DOWN with shoppers ‘unable to pay in stores across UK'
It is not known whether this was the result of a cyber attack STORE CHAOS Major retailer's systems DOWN with shoppers 'unable to pay in stores across UK' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS were unable to buy products from a major retailed across UK stores today after a reported system failure. H&M customers at branches up and down the country were turned away for several hours after an issue with the company's payment tech, as reported by MailOnline. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The cause of the failure is unknown Credit: Getty A worker at London site reported they had been unable sell any items for around two hours. It is not known if online customers were affected, or if this was a nationwide problem. The cause of the apparent system failure, and whether it was a cyber attack, is also unknown. A spokesperson for H&M told The Sun: "We are aware of the problem and are looking into resolving it as quickly as possible. "We apologise to our customers for the inconvenience." This comes after jeweller Cartier and fashion brand The North Face are the latest victims of cyber attacks. Cartier, whose watches are worn by stars such as Cate Blanchett, said: 'An unauthorised party gained temporary access to our system. "We contained the issue and further enhanced the protection of our systems and data.' North Face said it discovered a 'small-scale' attack in April. It advised customers to change their passwords. Both brands said customer names and email addresses were taken, but not financial information. It is the latest in a wave of attacks that began with Marks And Spencer and the Co-Op facing severe disruption in April. Last month, Harrods joined to list, followed by Adidas which was also hit. Co-op stores have even started flogging Christmas pastries in May — amid stock supply chaos after a crippling cyber attack. In a desperate bid to fill empty shelves the chain shipped out the chicken and cranberry Festive Slices to some supermarkets. The £1.90 treats are typically sold in November and December. But ongoing online problems meant they were available again last week. Co-op's internal ordering system was hit last month before the retailer pulled the plug on its own software to limit the damage. As a result some branches have been sent the winter warmers instead of the anticipated summer supplies. Private customer data was stolen in the hack but the Co-op said that did not include passwords, bank or credit card details. The criminals suspected to be behind the attack are known collectively as "Scattered Spider" - one of the most prolific cybergangs of the past 18 months. The gang specialises in ransomware - a type of attack designed to steal information or access in exchange for a sum of money. They have been gaining a reputation for targeting large, customer-facing organisations through social engineering and identity-focused tactics. What is a cyber attack?
