Bristol Trader, Haverfordwest, up and running after fire
The Bristol Trader, a popular riverside pub in Haverfordwest was struck by fire last November. The fire on Wednesday, November 6, affected two floors and the roof space of the Quay Street pub. Fire crews battled the blaze for two hours and smoke could be seen billowing from the building.

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.

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.

‘Excited for him.' The Chop Robinson-Dante Trader Jr. connection goes beyond the Dolphins
Whether you're a doctor, teacher or professional athlete, it's always good to have a friend at a new job. Not only does it help ease the transition but makes work fun. Such is the case between Miami Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson and safety Dante Trader Jr., whom the team recently picked in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. 'I already talked to him,' Trader told reporters May 9. 'I said, 'I don't care if we're the same age, you're going to help me and figure this whole thing out, because I don't know anything.' I'm a sponge, so I'm going to be under his wings, under any vet. So that's the biggest plan, is get a vet, just be a rookie, shut up and work. That's my mind-set right now.' Robinson and Trader's relationship goes back to the University of Maryland, where the second-year edge rusher actually started his collegiate career before transferring to Penn State. The two were both part of the Class of 2021 — Robinson ranked 39th while Trader ranked 40th at his position, according to ESPN — and arrived at campus around the same time. 'Me and Dante were kind of real close when I was there,' Robinson said Wednesday. 'I remember coming in first day, we both sat down in the front row in the team meeting. So just him being a pro and seeing that at a young age and he's still being that guy, I'm excited for him.' Despite being freshmen, both players saw the field in each of the Terrapins' 12 games. In Robinson's lone season at Maryland, he accumulated 19 combined tackles, two sacks and three tackles for loss. Trader contributed 16 total tackles, one tackle for loss and a pass deflection. It wasn't until later in their respective college careers that they began to stand out. After transferring to Penn State, Robinson registered 9.5 sacks, 18 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles in his final two years. Trader stayed in College Park, Maryland and had 174 combined tackles, five interceptions and 14 pass deflections during his final three seasons. That the two were able to reconnect in South Florida as Dolphins draft picks in consecutive years is nothing short of impressive. Robinson was the Dolphins' first-round selection in 2024 while Miami drafted Trader 155th overall. Another Terrapin — defensive tackle Jordan Phillips - was selected just 14 picks prior. And while Robinson was only moderately familiar with Phillips due to him being class of 2022, Trader and his fellow rookie Terrapin have already been in the lab. 'We've already got a plan together that we're going to go over stuff,' Trader said of Phillips. 'He's teaching me the fronts and things like that and we're just watching. Just being in the film room together, learning the new NFL process.' After a an impressive rookie year in which he ranked second among first-year players in sacks (6) and quarterback hits (14), Robinson certainly can give Trader a bunch of advice about how to make an impact early. Trader, however, appears ready to soak up all the tips and tricks from not just Robinson but also everybody in his position group. 'They're respectable players,' Trader said of safeties Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu. 'They did their time in the league and they're in the league for a reason. They've started for a reason. I'm just worried about me and my process. I'm going to lean on them guys and try to get the most out of them.'

5 things to know about new Dolphins S Dante Trader Jr
5 things to know about new Dolphins S Dante Trader Jr The Miami Dolphins addressed the safety position earlier in the offseason by signing free agents Ifeatu Melifonwu and Ashtyn Davis to replace the recently departed Jevón Holland and Jordan Poyer. While Dolphins general manager Chris Grier told reporters that he already believed the team had a pair of starters on the roster, he added another player to the mix in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL draft by taking Maryland's Dante Trader Jr. So who is the new rookie safety added to the mix in the secondary? Here are five things to know about Trader: Trader was a lacrosse star The Delaware-native was an impressive high school football player, putting up big numbers as both a wide receiver and a defensive back. The three-star recruit chose to attempt Maryland and also had offers from Syracuse and Boston College. But the three-star football recruit was a top 10 recruit in the country in lacrosse and committed to play for the Terrapins before he had an offer to play football there, as well. Despite his talents on the lacrosse field, Trader prioritized football at Maryland. He didn't join the lacrosse team until his sophomore year and decided not to rejoin the team as a junior. In his only season with the Terps' lacrosse team, Trader earned Third-Team All-American honors from the US Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. Trader is the son of a football coach While lacrosse played a big part in Trader's athletic upbringing, he wasn't late to get started with football. Trader's father, Dante Trader Sr., played collegiate football at Widener University in Chester, Pa. and served as a wide receivers and secondary coach at Division III Salisbury College. Jordan Phillips raved about Trader's leadership Twelve picks before the Dolphins drafted Trader, they took his former Maryland teammate Jordan Phillips at No. 143 overall. The defensive tackle was excited to rejoin Trader in the pro ranks and told reporters that the safety sets an example for his teammates. "He's a really great leader," Phillips said of Trader. "It would be nice where I would be in the facility watching film late and then I'd look over in the room across from me and he was sitting there at the computer and he's watching film also. "We both had a lot of success at Maryland together in terms of pushing each other, in terms of elevating the standard at Maryland and so I can't wait until we get to the Dolphins and we continue to help build each other and learn from the vets so that way we can in return help lead and help take control." But that leadership doesn't come with a lot of talk on game days. "I'm really not a trash talker," Trader said. "It comes out weird if I even say anything, so I let some of my teammates do that. But me, I'm one of those silent assassin guys that you're going to have to be annoyed at and can't get rid of.' Trader wants to be a 'four core' special teamer Like most late-round draft picks, Trader will likely need to show he has what it takes to contribute on special teams to make the Dolphins' roster. That's a task he's very excited to take on. 'I've been a special teamer all of my life," Trader said. "That's how I got on the field as a freshman at Maryland. I was on the kick return, kickoff, punt, punt block, even on the hands team as a freshman. ... So it'll be easy to be adjusted. You can win and lose games on special teams, so I'm all for special teams to get my way on the field." Trader said his lofty goals for year one in Miami are to be a 'four core' player on special teams, and a starter by the end of his rookie season. Four core refers to a player who contributes on the punt block, punt return, kickoff, and kickoff return units. NFL scout says Trader is 'already a pro' "He's already a pro," an NFL scout said of Trader, via Dane Brugler of The Athletic. "(The) type of dude with motivational quotes on Post-its and mirrors at his crib." When asked about that quote from an anonymous scout, Trader confirmed that motivational Post-its are a part of his routine. "I put my goals up there so I can see them whether people believe I can do it or not," Trader said. "Just being drafted being one of them. And then I always have my mirror especially in-season, is 'be a pest, be a pest.' I write it on my hand, every time I can see it. Just that mentality, I like to carry it when I'm on the field. "So when I always remind myself the mindset, mentality I need to have every day and I go. That's just what I do. So the message board on my mirror and even in my journals I have multiple quotes that sometimes are very vulgar, sometimes are clean but anything to get me motivated.'

Dolphins draft Maryland S Dante Trader Jr. in Round 5
The Miami Dolphins added another safety to their impending competition for starting spots. With the No. 155 selection in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL draft, the Dolphins picked Maryland safety Dante Trader Jr. Trader is the second Terrapins defender to land in Miami, joining his teammate Jordan Phillips, who was taken a dozen selections before the safety. Advertisement The 5'11, 196-pound defensive back doesn't have size or athleticism that jumps off the page, but he was a productive and reliable player in the collegiate ranks. Trader had five interceptions as a three-year starter at Maryland, and earned an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2024. After allowing starting safeties Jevón Holland and Jordan Poyer to both reach free agency, the Dolphins signed a pair of relatively low-cost free agents, Ifeatu Melifonwu and Ashtyn Davis. That duo will compete with Trader, 2024 sixth-round pick Patrick McMorris, and special teams ace Elijah Campbell for the starting jobs in Miami.
