It’s pretty easy to ‘dunk on’ Swansea’s city centre; with the closing high-street shops, lack of free parking and anti-social behaviour issues – BUT – I am a passionate defender! I’m going to write a whole post on this at some point – but quickly, I think it’s not fair to compare it to Cardiff,...
Stick ‘Best restaurant in Swansea’ into Google you’ll see that right at the top of all the ‘best eats’ lists, isn’t a fancy eatery with swanky interiors and a £200 tasting menu – it’s a trailer, in a park in Mumbles that sells incredible seafood – the Gower Seafood Hut. So is the Gower Seafood...
This might be fighting talk here – but I think there are three front runners for the best ice cream in Swansea – Verdi’s, Joe’s and GG’s Gelato. I can’t decide which is the best between the three to be honest – it depends on my mood, but GG’s Gelato stands out for its fun...
First off – I fully apologise for not being able to make a Welsh Breakfast look ‘aesthetic’, but if you love cockles and laverbread as much as I do (it’s my death row meal), I feel like you’ll understand how delicious the Welsh Breakfast from Cariad Caffi in Penclawdd looks from my picture, and if...
We’re big fans of a carvery in this household and think the best one in Swansea is The Buck Inn in Ponlliw, by a country mile. So when I heard that the owners of it had taken over the super popular venue, The George in Mumbles, I got pretty excited we were going to get...
I’m often complaining about the lack of seafood-specific eateries in Swansea, considering we’re a seaside town. There’s the Gower Seafood Hut in Mumbles, El Pescador in the Marina, and that’s about it when it comes to fresh fish? (Let me know in the comments if I’ve got that wrong). A year or so ago when...
Parc Le Breos is a stunning hotel and grounds in Gower, just down the road from Mumbles, Three Cliffs and Langland Bay. As well as being the most beautiful hotel in Swansea, it also has one of, if not the best Afternoon Teas. Parc Le Breos is jaw-droppingly beautiful. The drive through the woods to...
If Tim Hortons in Swansea has 100 haters, I’m one of them. If Tim Hortons in Swansea has one hater, the hater is me. If Tim Hortons Swansea has no haters – I am dead. So you get the vibe – I hate Tim Hortons. Look, I don’t know if it’s brilliant in Canada and...
If you’re looking to eat and drink at the fanciest place in Swansea – with brilliant food, a potential celebrity spot and one of the best views in the world, Landland Brasserie is the place to go. Located right on the beachfront at Langland Bay, you’ll spot well-heeled diners enjoying the sun on the balcony,...
The Dunvant Farm Shop and Cafe is one of Swansea’s best hidden treasures. I’ve really been making the effort to try and buy as much as I can from small, local, businesses over the last few years, so I have been getting my meat, cakes and veggies from here – or Murton Farm shop instead...
