However, it's likely there has been a 'hostelry' on the site for as long as Pembroke Castle has stood nearby; the Castle is more than 1000 years old!
For a time in the 19th century The Kings was known as The Bunch of Grapes.
This name change is believed to have come about as a result of the Rebecca Riots, which affected many parts of rural west Wales between 1839 and 1843.
These were a series of protests against the payment of tolls to use the roads.
