Britannia Inn Restaurant in Swansea

Traditional old pub, with slate floors, cosy log fire, and traditional food with a twist. Also has 2 lovely beer gardens, one has children's playground and fantastic views and is well placed in beautiful area. Bar is dog friendly and whole place has nice atmosphere.

Brilliant! Must go. Fabulous with my allergy. Chef and team must be very experienced. All our meals were delicious and flavours perfectly balanced. Couldn't fault food. Recommended to us, didn't disappoint! Staff were really lovely and efficient, very friendly. Just had a brilliant evening, booking recommended, would definitely go again! Thanks you to the team.

Such a lovely late lunch in this beautiful little pub. The food was the best we've had in the Gower this week. We will definitely be back and most likely stay within walking distance of this pub ... it was that good.

Great meal yesterday's lunch.salt Marsh lamb.

How do I opine about the Steak and Ale pie? - except I was waiting for months to try it after seeing it whilst popping into the pub for a sneaky half on a hike break earlier this summer. My girlfriend just took me there for my birthday today. That pie nearly brought tears to my eyes - it’s incredible. The flavour of that filling is sensational. I have never tasted a pie like it. Thank you! I’d have paid double for that level of quality. As an eating experience it’s right up there with some of the finest restaurants I’ve been privileged in which to dine. I also tasted my girlfriend’s Moroccan lamb dish - equally as impressive to be honest.

Lovely place for a pub lunch...plenty of parking and outside spaces and old world charm inside. Good pub menu using many local ingredients.

Great place, enjoyable food, welcoming staff.

A really lovely dog friendly place with a great atmosphere. The staff were obliging and polite and the menu was interesting and varied. The food is ok. I guess it would be very busy peak season but there is plenty of outdoor seating.

Had an amazing meal with my wife on Friday evening. Great place with a great warm welcoming atmosphere. Thank you. Definitely visiting again!

A "proper" pub with friendly staff, a good selection of real ale and great food all at a fair price.

Atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and service excellent! It has been consistently good since we have visited a dozen times over the last six months

Great food, lovely service Quality views Thanks

Lovely old pub. Huge reputation for food. My friends and I stopped for a drink on a bike ride. The only problem was it took ages to get served, and there was only one guy in front of us! Nice pint of Guinness (eventually)

Pretty poor. By about 8:30 we were the only ones left and made pretty clear we needed to go. Wanted desserts but refused, no one offered them to us or told us we needed to order before they closed. Place was cold, fire barely going. Food we had was bang average for the price. Overall disappointing customer service. Would have stayed and had another round of drinks and dessert but these guys clearly don’t need the custom or money and happy to close up by 9pm.

We spent a lovely week in the Gower, and ate at The Britannia Inn 3 nights, 5 star x

Absolutely the best food Iv had in 25 years. Bloody lovey. Service out of this world. Well done

Came here for a meal with a group of friends on a Sunday evening. Best to reserve a table in advance as it gets very busy. Watch you head when moving about pub as it has a very low ceiling. Tables needed a better clean. Ordered the beef pie with chips and peas. The pie was freshly made and piping hot inside. It's a shame they did not use good cuts of beef though (hence only 4 stars) as I got a huge piece of pure gristle. Yuk. Ordered the sticky toffee pudding for desert. It came with a vanilla ice cream scoop. Nice large portion that I could hardly finish.

A great place for a family lunch. A good menu with several GF options. The food was lovely and the service was terrific. Oh and nice beer too! Some friends recommended The Britannia to us and they were not wrong.

Really disappointing for a vegan. No starter option, and it took a lot of back and forth with staff to finally learn that I could have the veggie burger if it was grilled instead of fried…which was pretty awful sadly. Very surprised to see such poor effort on the menu in this day and age. Have been disappointed each time I’ve been, nothing changes, won’t return again.

Brilliant staff vert friendly food goerous recommended

Place was beautifully decorated and was busy too. We managed to get a place in the restaurant due to the lovely staff that were very accommodating. Excellent service that matched with the delicious food. We had the the crab special which was refreshing and not too heavy and filling, perfect for someone like me who likes to save room for dessert.

We visited a few years ago and it was a nice experience, so we thought we should visit again when we were in the area recently. The pub is nicely decorated, the food was very nice but the staff attitude was a little bit disappointing. They chose to chat behind the reception and to discuss personal matters when customers in the pub could clearly hear the whole story instead of maybe pay more attention to customers themselves in case they would like to order another drink.

Visited here in the week and had the Burger which was outstanding, so we decided to have a Sunday lunch here also. Quaint pub with lovely stone walls and a great place to have a pint and food. The Sunday lunch arrived and I can best describe the food as disappointing. Although the food was extremely tasty and the beef was mouth watering, I can best describe it as slightly less than warm. Also there was very little gravy to accompany the dinner, so we ordered an extra serving of gravy. There was four of us and the amount of gravy would not fill an egg cup, and at £3.00 a serving, I thought this extremely excessive. Two deserts and agin it was slightly less than warm. Overall extremely disappointing when we had an earlier meal in the week which was delicious. A generous 3 stars when we would have given it as 2.5, which the four of us all agreed upon.

Charming pub in the heart of Gower. We stopped for a pint after our run and sat in the beer garden. Friendly staff and a nice location

Lovely food and very pleasant staff .

Glad we found this place. Very good well cooked food and not silly prices. Excellent and varied menu using quality ingredients. Calamari was melt in the mouth. Scotch egg with asparagus was also delicious. Lamb Moroccan tagine was melt in the mouth. Lovely location too.

Best 3 course meal I have eaten in ages. I had the calamari, salt marsh lamb and then the sticky toffee pudding....wow. We can't wait to come back again 😍

A lovely Sunday lunch and dessert by 2 amazing chefs, who I worked with a long time ago, so I knew that the quality would be amazing. We both had the beef - cooked medium-rare, which came with the perfect amount of veggies and a lovely Yorkshire pudding. For dessert we had the bread and butter pudding and the Penderyn whisky parfait- Both were delicious. The building itself is a lovely old building, so unfortunately difficult to access from the car park to every level if you can't manage steps, but there's a door at the front of the building directly into the bar. There's a beautifully kept outdoor area to sit and for the kids to play, with beautiful views north over the estuary. 2 courses was £22 (Aug 2024), but it was a special occasion, so it was a treat, but we felt that it wasn't much more than we'd pay elsewhere, and everything was of a higher quality. All staff were friendly and attentive, too. Thanks :)

Cosy pub and restaurant. Good menu choices, tasty food. When the rain cleared, a fantastic view from the garden too.

The meals it’s self were lovely but the desserts were a disappointment. I ordered a bubble gum ice cream and got strawberry and chocolate orange mousse it was a tiny piece of ice cream for 8 pound!!!!! i am fuming. i ordered the wrong thing i wanted marshmallow ice cream i ordered bubblegum and ended up with strawberry and chocolate orange with mint on top i am livid!!!!! i would like a refund but by the time we realised it was strawberry we’d eaten it because it was so small!!!!!!! it wasn’t even a full scope i am not happy it was the size of a golf ball i wanted more of a tennis ball.

Lovely pub in an idyllic location and a lovely large beer garden looking out over the Loughor Estuary. Food looked like good pub grub. Great pint at the end of a 4 hours walk to get to the magnificent Whitford Lighthouse via Whitford Sands

When we visited during our family holiday, we were expecting a nice meal whilst the children played on the park area. Annoyingly despite being barely 5pm many of the guests were drunk and arguing. Despite this, other areas of our visit were not brilliant. The food was basic pub choices of something and chips but overly priced with the average dish being £16. There was very little variety for the children's menu.

Attractive old pub outside, but reason to go is the pub garden with views down to he ocsat and acorss tto the mainland. Good real ales and effiencet service. Standard pub food. Nearly all outside seating is on fixed bench and table arrangemetns so no back rests. If you do not have kids it would be nicer without the play equipment for children.

Lovely country pub 🙂 always great food !

Great food and the kids had a brilliant time in the play area. Friendly staff and quick service.

Very friendly and helpful staff, nice location and quiet. Playground for the kids.

Great views quiet location good atmosphere good prices

Beautiful view and good risotto. Order yourself ad bar, pay immediately. Picnic tables. Friendly to dogs.

One of Gower's best. Good beer especially Guinness

This place is a slice of heaven. Nothing else needs to be said. The worst part about enjoying a few hours in this rural bliss, is having to leave at all!

Always a great pub to visit, Good beer from the Gower brewery and the food was good too

Friendly staff, outside settling, good range of drinks & a good menu. Lots of people having food.

Omg the food was AMAZING loved it well worth a visit had such a lovey evening meal Thankyou so much. Hope to come back and try more on your menu one day. Stunning views great garden with play equipment for the kids. Five stars to you all.

A nice enough pub with really friendly staff. The food, however, was lacklustre and came out surprisingly quickly raising concerns about the meat actually being cooked properly.

Didn't eat so can't comment but beer was great sat outside, there was a playpark for kids in the rear beer garden which would be good for families with kids if weather is good.

A lovely traditional pub, a friendly smile on arrival. Bar tab available inside.

Used to be very nice but unfortunately have gone down hill so much now. We ordered scampi and chips and steak and ale pie, with very bad meals. 2 pices if steak in the pie then full of carrots. Scampi and chips tasted awful like the oil hasn't been changed in a long time. Shame because it used to be nice.

Called in for food for the first time, I ordered the authentic Indian curry and had to pay extra to have chicken in it! Five pieces! My husband had sausage mash & peas, sausages were nice but very small with approximately 3 teaspoons of instant packet mash! He asked for bread and butter, but got bread with an oil dip…WHAT! Pub was nice but this food of my husbands was unacceptable and would struggle to fill a child! Very disappointing first and last time visiting here!

Recommended to us and worth the trip. Very good value and choice.

Beautifully prepped and sourced local ingredients, made for an excellent meal. Had salt marsh lamb so tender it melted in the mouth paired with a butternut squash puree I could have eaten all on its own. Well cooked & seasoned veg to accompany. Highly recommended

Lovely views and great food, we will be back!

Little better, on a Fine Summer Evening, than a Meal at the Britannia with Friends and Family. - Excellent Food and First Class Service!

Great place , beautiful food , lovely views from outside at the back. Highly recommend.

Great place.. fabulous views..good food..mind your head! 🤣

Best food around. Let alone pub food. Well worth the drive. Fab walk to the Sea Wall to work up an appetite. One friend told me... “the first time they came here they ordered the Steak and Ale Pie... it’s so good ... they always have it when they come. “ They looked full last night and service was fab. 6 of us had dinner and we all gave the meals 10/10. The protein quality is such good value for money. The sort of thing u only get with an owner manager. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thankyou.

It's off the beaten track but we'll worth finding

Dog friendly and great food. A beautiful setting! Really nice staff, and just an overall wonderful pub with great food

Fantastic smoked haddock risotto. Lots of menu choices. Dog friendly.

Food was outstanding. Best duck I've had.

Lovely old inn on the route of our walk. Good local produce

Lovely place, great food, drink & views.

Excellent food at a fair price. Very good value

Following a 7 mile around the Welsh Coastal path we ended the day with a meal at the Britannia Inn. The weather was warm and sunny so took advantage of their beer garden. The views are stunning of the North Gower salt marshes and across the estuary. The beer selection was excellent with 3 hand pulled Ales. I decided to have a light brunch after the walk and chose a tuna mayo baguette with chips. The food was well presented and tasty. I would recommend a visit.

Lovely old pub that serves nice food. I would argue that it's way better than places like the King Arthur Hotel.

Amazing food and service in a stunning setting. The Sunday lunch menu has an abundance of choice and the quality is on point. Will be returning for an evening meal in the future. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely Afternoon.

We had the fish and chips. Just perfect. Best chips I have tasted. Highly recommend

Stopped off for an ice cold coke - lovely place, and an ideal stop off point after a long walk. Generous sized beer garden & children's play area to the rear, outside seating at the front of the Inn and a varied menu.

Good food ,nice choice and good portion.

Really creative lunch menu & everything beautifully cooked. Just wish the restaurant was a bit warmer, but next time I'll wrap up warm!

Excellent food in atmospheric surroundings

A lovely 'real' local pub with a restaurant serving excellent food. We ate in the restautant as we could book a table for our party of 8. The bar area also serves food but tables are on a first come basis. We've tried to eat in the bar several times before but have never been lucky to get a free table. The bar area is cosy with low beams. The restaurant traditional and functional, with diners also able to choose from the bar menu and bar specials. Whilst not cheap all the food we ordered was excellent and plentiful. My 48 hour slow cooked Ox Cheeks simply melted in the mouth. There was a continuous buzz permeating throughout the bar and made for a great atmosphere. A gem of a pub and come the warmer months the outdoor garden and play area will be great for our grandchildren. We'll be back :-)

Excellent food. Great choice of meals on the main menu and the specials board. The fish dishes are particularly good. We always sit in the bar as its dog friendly and has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely welcome in a small but charming bar and restaurant. Cheerful and helpful staff, good food, and (if the weather allows) a good beer garden with views down to the estuary.

Excellent food and pleasant staff.

Excellent food and good service, and on a random Tuesday evening it was reasonably busy.

such nice people, very tasty food, cozy atmosphere

Dropped in without booking on Easter Sunday and luckily got a table in the bar as we had dogs with us. 1st visit and can only say the Sunday roast was delicious so it will not be our last visit. Highly recommend visiting a proper traditional pub...

Everyone was really friendly and lovely and the setting was also so beautiful! The woman who brought us the food was really positive and happy. We were sadly really disappointed with the food today though. The lamb roast dinner was like a microwave meal with mint sauce that somehow didn’t taste of mint (or even vinegar!). The meat, potatoes or other veg didn’t seem fresh and the mint sauce seemed to be water and blanched pieces of mint. All in all it was a bit sad that potentially really amazing local produce wasn’t cooked better. I’m not sure if there was a different kitchen team to normal but the food looked nothing like the pictures which was a shame because the people and setting were so amazing! We hoped leaving this message might be helpful as it’s such a nice place but we were so disappointed.

Food was amazing, way better than I had expected, the pub looks very nice inside and the views from outside are great. The pigeon was excellent.

Charming country pub serving nice selection of beers plus excellent bar/restaurant food at reasonable prices. Sunday roast best on Gower! Highley recommended and very popular - need to book... Only downside is location as quite far..from anywhere.. UPDATE 28.2.24 Had dinner along with wife and a visitor from Vienna. On time for the reservation at 7.15pm. Three courses and being tactfully (pointedly?) ushered out by 8.45pm No chance to sit and chat over a coffee and brandy after a nice dinner as "the coffee machine has been turned off". Shocking! We departed finding the chairs already on tables in the empty bar... If you say you are open til 10pm on a Wednesday...🤔 Sorry Britannia but you have let yourselves down badly.

Delicious food, ales and wines. Great service and a lovely place all round.

Fabulous lamb dishes. Lovely food. Welcoming staff. Been several times and will be back.

Fantastic to visit here yet again, front of house excellent, chef fantastic, can’t recommend enough, family have visited on our recommendation and haven’t been disappointed…..keep up the good work !

Such a lovely comfortable venue on this dreary damp day. The food for our lunch meal was outstanding and of the very best quality. The fire was such a cheerful sight making a very cosy atmosphere. Dogs were welcome and were very well behaved. The young bar lady was exceptionally helpful and very friendly and the Chef must be of the very highest quality. Yes highly recommended and we will certainly be visiting The Brittania from the Winchwen are of Swansea again. Highly recommended if you need to brighten these wintry days.

Well another dismal cold damp and grey day in WInchwen Swansea so out with car to visit Oldwalls and decided to lunch in the Brittania Inn Cheriton. The minute you enter you see a very bright fire glowing. We got ourselves seated ordered drinks and had a lunch of prawn sandwiches with a small bowl of chips. It was simply delicious. The young bar lady was very friendly indeed and the chef must be complimented on the nicest fresh sandwiches we have had for a long time. A few couples had visited with their very well behaved beautiful dogs, bowls of water provided. So do yourself a favour if you want to be brightened up, this is the venue! Thanks all in the Brittania.

Lovely setting simple lunch what was needed mid walk. Could have gone for a more gourmet option. Will do next time. Worth the travel to get there.

Lovely three course Sunday Lunch. Would recommend.

My local. Well kept beer, food really very good. Never a poor meal. Friendly locals.

My husband, daughter and I went for lunch on New Year's day. The service was very friendly and welcoming and the food was absolutely amazing, I couldn't fault it. We were so overwhelmed by the taste that it was the quietest meal we've had in a long time. The thyme ice cream was like nothing I've ever tasted before, I hope it's on the menu when we go back.

Always lovely here, lovely food, friendly staff and often a roaring fire. It's very dog friendly too

Service and food were great, highly recommend

Lovely traditional pub, food looked nice

Warm cosy pub & restaurant. Gorgeous log fire, traditional feel with lots of seating & cushions. Our 3 course Christmas meal was outstanding. Very helpful & friendly staff, service was exceptional. Spotlessly clean too. Will definitely be returning.

One of the best pubs/restaurants in Wales. Both aspects of the place are brilliant - the pub is cosy and has great quality food and friendly bar staff, the restaurant side is out of this world. Some of the best food I've ever had and service is always brilliant. Good value for money - we usually spend about 15-20 per person for lunch, 40-50 per person for dinner if we have two courses for dinner

Fantastic little inn - well worth a visit. Food is fabulous and a great range of drinks. Dog friendly in the bar. Vegetarians well catered for

A proper old fashioned pub. Good outdoor play area for the kids. Dogs welcome in the bar area. Fantastic food and really friendly staff.

Booked our table 2 days before for a family Sunday lunch table for people we arrived early but didn't mind getting a drink and waiting our table was booked for 3.30 we waited till 3.40 I went to ask if our table was ready to be greeted by a lady with dark long hair and glasses to tell us it was ready. We waited till gone 4pm before we sat our table which the room was freezing cold and no fires on. The lady came to take our order and it was as if she didn't want us to be there like as if we was a inconvenience. We ordered our food when it did come it was luke warm and hardly anything on our plates 1 slice of meat and 1 very small gravy boat to share between 6 people . The veg could of done with an extra 10 minutes to cook too. We ordered water for our table which never came we normally order desert when we go out but we all agreed that we shouldn't as the lady really wanted us out I think she should get another job. No smile not once. We couldn't wait to pay and get home we went to joes for desert on way home .

Booked a table for two yesterday at three. We usually go for an early dinner but we thought we’d try the Sunday lunch. We arrived to a warm welcome in a very busy bar and restaurant and had a drink in the bar until the table was ready ( we were early). The meal was superb and the roast beef so tender. As usual the service was attentive and friendly. We will be back again soon!

Booked a table 4 days before for 3.30 for Sunday lunch for 6 people. We waited 30 minutes to be seated. We all ordered Sunday roast and the portions size was disappointing 1 slice of meat on each plate. The veg could have been cooked a bit longer there was some yellow sauce on everyone's plate that tasted awful. And 1 little gravy boat it was tiny between 6 people. No Yorkshire puds . And the service was the slowest I've had in years the lady who served us looked like she didn't want to be there today. We'll neither did we won't be returning.

I have visited 'The Brit' twice recently to give them another try at regaining our custom after they lost it ten years ago. That's how long it's taken us to want to try this place again. We'd heard good reports about the food so we thought at last we should return. Rather than write a journal, suffice to say it is not acceptable to be told by an apparently disinterested barman that our prebooked table wasn't ready because "we have been very busy all day" and then proceed to give tables and take orders for food from people who had walked in without booking. Neither is it acceptable to tell us when we enquired about the progress of our table being made ready that they didn't have a booking in our name even though we had already been told our table wasn't yet ready. We eventually ordered our food an hour after we had booked our table. The food was good but could have been warmer. We might have been cheered up while waiting by the wood burning stove except that on one of the coldest and wettest November days so far, it wasn't lit! So, not a great experience and one we won't be repeating any time soon. Might even be another ten years!
