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...
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...
Without a doubt, the Oyster Gallery on Newton Road is my favourite shop in Swansea – not just in the Mumbles – the whole City. It’s all the way up the hill in the bit known as ‘the top shops’ – but 100% worth the trek up (or just park up the top). Oyster Gallery...
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,...
I officially have a new favourite place to eat in Swansea – a newish restaurant called On the Rocks, in the old lifeboat building on the Pier in Mumbles. It’s a steak restaurant, which serves you your meat ‘blue’, which you then finish off on a hot plate at your table – and genuinely –...
When friends from outside of Swansea come to visit, Gin and Juice in the Mumbles is where I take them. Firstly, the restaurant is beautiful – It’s a real show stopper with a log burner, plants (a LOT of plants) and an indoor/outdoor conservatory – which means you can look out at stunning Swansea Bay...
Mumbles Coffee in Swansea is no doubt, one of the most popular spots in the village. There’s the main cafe on the corner, the booth in the arcade and its little brother Microlot, on Dunns Lane – all super busy. They take their coffee very seriously – partnering up with local businesses and sourcing ‘the...
Fika is one of the newer places to eat and drink in Newton Road, Mumbles (though it’s been around a couple of years) – but it’s become a firm favourite thanks to its food’s quality and value for money. When I heard a bagel place was moving into the vacant building, I was a bit...
The Lighthouse, which used to be the Swansea institution, Castellammare, on Bracelet Bay is a chilled-out restaurant with what I reckon are THE best views in Swansea. If you’re sitting outside on a sunny day with some wine – it’s genuinely one of the best places in the world to be. So to get a...
The Mermaid restaurant is an iconic Mumbles institution (I feel like I use that phrase a lot, but it just is – it’s been around for donkey’s years and the locals love it). Right on the main Mumbes strip in Swansea, with outside and inside seating – The Mermiad is famously dog-friendly and is always...
