Gower Seafood Hut in Swansea

Fabulous food. Can't wait until next season.

Still thinking about this place and the food

Great little seafood hut on the beach front, located in a little park area, picnic benches provided

Fantastic little place, highly recommended! Excellent deepfried food, open in rain or sun, run by polite, quick and fun staff.

Delicious street seafood shop with warm and impressive service. Will recommend to all my friends. Thanks!

Always great sea food and good value 10 out of 10

Gower Seafood Hut in Mumbles is fantastic ! Our family loved the fresh, locally sourced fish—plaice goujons were a hit with the kids, while the adults savored perfectly spiced curried prawns and crispy whitebait. Owners Sarah and Chris are warm, passionate, and make every visit special. A must-visit for seafood lovers!

Bloody brilliant! Fresh and tasty seafood that is treated with care rather than doused in thick batter. Lovely park setting by the sea with a beer house across the road so you can grab a pint and enjoy it all. Thankyou!

Fantastic little street food spot . Never had popcorn cockles before but were delicious as so were the juicy chilli prawns . Would love to have come back to try more if had some more if time to spend in Mumbles! Good luck to the lovely owners in their new shop and deli ( crab sandwich sounds perfect !) - so friendly and nice and obviously passionate about what they do. Excellent and lovely addition to the community . XXX

Small independent business located in park surrounded by lots of good seating. We would highly recommend the chilli prawns and our dog loved having a taste of the cockles. We would definitely go back on our next walk round the mumbles to try the calamari. Can also buy little dog treats from the kiosk. Would recommend accompanying your seafood with a takeaway pint from across the road!

Excellent lunch, cooked to order. The quality was on point, portion sizes were generous and the food was delicious. Keep up the great work ❤️

Really good good... Loved it. Limited menu but serviced with love.

Quality of the food is off the scale!! Quality of Service and knowledgeability is first rate Gluten Free options readily available, just have to chat to the friendly staff!! Brilliant playlist on in the background too!! Elton, Oasis, Basement Jaxx! Wall to Wall bangers (Beers across the road from Ty Cwrw are ace too!! ) Cheers Ian, Ben and Tilda Stumbled across it by accident and so unbelievably happy we did!!! Cannot recommend it highly enough and Good Luck with the Deli too!!!

We have visited this place many times over the years and you will be hard pressed to find somewhere that serves food, especially seafood, that good in Mumbles. You can’t beat going to that tiny horsebox and have a mini fish feast by the sea. The highlights are the Fritto Misto, Calamari and Rosemary Fries with the Garlic Mayo but to be honest you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes. Can also recommend the plaice goujons and popcorn cockles but find we almost always go back to our usual order with cans of refreshing San Pellergino!

What a gem! Amazing food and service! An absolute must!

Very friendly service and beautifully fresh food

Exactly what we wanted with somewhere to shelter in the rain if needed. Fresh fish and amazing popcorn cockles and whitebait!

So good. The whitebait and plaice were delicious. 👏👏👏

Expected a bit more from this place, based on Google reviews. Although chili prawns were really tasty, calamari (usually my fav seafood item) was too chewy and quite tasteless. Potatoes with thyme were fine.

Lovely fresh seafood. We had tge frito misto.The skin on chips served with thyme which really adds another dimension.

Beautiful little spot to enjoy fresh seafood by the Welsh coast! A proper haven outside Swansea, this little hut had bags of personality and a beautiful story behind it. The food was so good, we had calamari and crispy prawns. Do not miss out on the chilli jam, which you can also purchase there! Delicious!!! The batter was light and perfectly seasoned. Friendly staff, lovely family-run business !!

Fantastic fresh seafood,lovely people.

The best cockles I’ve ever had in my life, so fresh, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Will be back, enjoyed very much.

What a find.. Streetfood Seafood!! Who knew that was a thing. Well the Lovely owners Chris and Sam certainly do.. For the two of us we decided to make it our main meal and go Tapas style.. Popcorn Cockles (eating is believing) Fritto Miso how good is (tempura (with a small t) Whitebait, 🐙, Sardines and Samphire.. Fresh Plaice Goujons and the Skin on fries (you don't need the skin.on fries(but have them anyway)). Great welcome, all cooked to order and tasted fantastic.

Staff super friendly and food excellent good size portions . The only downside and beyond their control was the building work on the promenade and the weather. We had prawns squid and the mixed white bait squid sardine and samphire and a portion of skin on fries. Our son had fancied pop corn cockles but as we ordered they hadn't arrived so we ordered as we did. Before we left the cockles arrived and the owner served our son a portion of popcorn cockles free of charge which was extremely kind.

Fantastic food, fast fresh and friendly…defo recommend!

Not the easiest to find, especially given the seafront works atm, but well worth searching out. Brilliant freshly-cooked fries and seafood. Don’t leave it too late - they sold out before they closed today.

Nice menu, frequently has new specials, delicious, fresh and warm. Definitely recommend

Lovely Fried Cockles & Views Of Seafront, Nice Atmosphere, Really Clean & Well Organised. Guys Were Really Bubbly, Friendly & Definitely Be Back

Delicious and fresh seafood. I ordered prawns and calamari and both tasted amazingly good. I highly recommend to come in early as often there are long lines. The service of ordering food could be improved as you dont know how many orders are ahead of yours.

Lovely friendly staff, food was beautiful. Right inside the park. Places to sit and eat.

Cockles had salt in them- but it was tasty!

Tasty seafood at affordable prices

Highly recommended for lovely fresh sea food and great service. Prepared and served from a tiny hut and eaten while sitting outside in a bench. Worth every penny and there is a sheltered area of seating if the weather is not so good!

I took my boys here on the Bank Holiday weekend. The food was amazing yet again. I visit the Gower Seafood Hut every time I am in Mumbles!

Great food and service. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area

All the food served was just amazing! Small menu and everything tasted delicious. The staff is very friendly too

Absolutely great! Highly recommend. Great staff and food fresh!

Fresh and beautifully done Popcorn elevated cockles complimented with thyme fries

Freshly fried seafood by the seaside. What is there not to like? Must try = fresh fried gower cockle popcorn and skin on fries. Delicious sauces to accompany from homemade chili jam and tartare sauce. As a cook, those cockles are a treat to eat but a pain to prep! Great value c.£6 per dish.

Super tasty food and lovely people!

Not only is the food delicious but the lady serving was so friendly and welcoming. Bought a mixed tray all of which was cooked perfectly. The cutest seafood stand I’ve ever seen - they obviously care about what they do and it shows. This was my second time stopping here and I will definitely stop again 🙂

Excellent food and service, loved it!

popular food bar situated on the seafront at mumbles, this is a busy food bar & various foods served

Grabbed some delicious plaice goujons and chilli prawns today. It was fabulous. Stand out friendly customer service too We will be back for more. What a little gem

Great little seafood spot for a tasty bit of local fare.

Great spot for a snack on a Sunny day. We stopped here with our 2 year old son. The playground right next door was perfectly placed for us to sit and enjoy some food while he ran around. Small menu but what they do serve is done well and the people working in the seafood hut were all very friendly.

What a great find! We had an absolutely delicious lunch here today and will definitely be returning.

Food is ok, quite expensive for what it is but nice area with children playground on site

This place is just fantastic. There is a good choice of food and everything we’ve ever tried has been delicious! The portions are a really good size and beautifully cooked. The owners are really lovely people too! We took my parents and they loved it as much as we do! A gem in the heart of Mumbles! Definitely go if you are in the area. You won’t be disappointed!

The third visit in 12 months. Always perfect. Lovely people to chat to and nothing is too much trouble. There is a reason this is the number 1 place to eat in Mumbles. Enjoy Italy! See you soon.

Battered cockles are a must ! Lovely friendly staff, and the only problem is what to choose as it all looks so delicious! X

Found this little gem on TripAdvisor whilst staying in the area & looking for somewhere to eat on my birthday. You know when you just hope it’s going to be as good as it sounds??? Well, it was and more!! Friendly, welcoming staff, advised of a 10 minute wait but sure it was quicker & the food… better than I could have imagined. Seafood + sunny days = perfect birthday. Thank you.

A small hut near the promenade, you can park in a pay and display lot nearby and grab a quick lunch of seafood. A cheaper alternative if you are in a hurry or prefer not to sit in a restaurant

Great little hut. Would recommend for lunch or an afternoon snack. The plaice was the best thing we tried. Lovely fries with parsley. Will come back for the cockles!

I had the most delicious plaice goujons from them this week. Most recommended.

Fresh seafood at its best. Great value and good size portions prawns in chilli sauce were spot on, dressed crab perfection and popcorn cockles also great

Fresh seafood at its best. Great value and good size portions prawns in chilli sauce were spot on, dressed crab perfection and popcorn cockles also great

Very friendly service, especially with our kids. Amazing prawns for my wife and I and such fresh fish and chips for the kids. Highly recommend

The food was great and staff very friendly. Loved this place. Calamari and prawns absolutely delicious

The couple running it is very nice, and the story they have on the blackboard is very enchanting. The food is ok too, but the portions are very small compared to the price. I recommend it for a good experience, a story, and a picture.

Recommended when visiting Mumbles. Not your typical fish and chips - try their popcorn cockles, calamari & deep fried whitebait. Pair it with chips (sometimes they do sliced potatoes) Eat in the park / anywhere in the prom

A great little spot by the sea front in Mumbles. Freshly fried seafood, by people who clearly understand and love their ingredients.

Absolutely the best plaice I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Great place on the seafront in Mumbles. Prawns & chlli jam, calamari & chips. All cooked fresh & delicious 😋

Came across this little gem on a walk down the sea front, what an amazing find. I don't tend to eat fish very often but between myself and my partner we had the chilli prawns with chilli jam, breaded plaice goujons with tar tar sauce and skin on fries with garlic mayo. Everything was cooked to perfection, the plaice just melted in the mouth. The staff were so friendly and had a fantastic system going so that customers were served delicious, fresh food in a timely manner. Will definitely be visiting again and trying more of the delicacies.

Love this place, it’s a must visit for us each time we are down the Gower. Cycled there yesterday from the CC campsite in Gowerton on a dedicated 95% plus traffic free route 4 👌 Work going on in the Mumbles on the sea wall which meant the hut has a temporary site in the park nearby, you need to look for it amongst all the building materials and Heras fencing panels 🙄 Superb food once again from the smashing crew at the Hut, thanks again John & Bev x Route 4 is a great ride with dedicated lanes even diagonally thro some busy traffic light junctions, plus a tool station for bike repairs 👌(see pics)

We had seen the reviews and wanted to try it out as it sounded amazing. We had 2 fish goujons, 2 crispy chilli prawns and 2 chips between 2 adults and 2 kids (12 and 15). We all agreed that this was the best seafood we have ever eaten! The goujons were melt in the mouth, the prawns were crispy, hot and really good with extra salt and pepper. The chips were amazing - with fresh thyme on them. We had homemade tartare sauce, garlic mayo and chilli tomato jam on the side in little pots. Soo delicious! We polished it all off and to make it even better there was not a piece of plastic in sight - everything was recyclable. The staff were really friendly - Sarah took our order and it was like talking to a friend! We cannot rave about this place enough.

Delicious seafood if in Mumbles this place is a must seafood at it's best. Lovely friendly staff always with a smile

Really nice fresh seafood, nice portions and really friendly staff. We ordered the chilli prawns, whitebait and skin on fries, delicious.

Our arrival in Mumbles, on this all-too-short break away, was marked by a visit to this coast-side eatery. We had seen the reviews, and resolved to see what fish plates were being offered. The Hut had been moved due to major civil engineering works to improve coastal storm defences. The new (probably temporary) location of the Hut is with an enclosure that appears to be used as a children’s play-area. We were pleased to see that a number of bench tables with seating were provided, allowing us to sit down and eat in some comfort. The weather was a bit overcast, and we were glad of the jackets we wore. The menu offered several plates, but only the Crispy Chilli Prawns (my Partner’s choice) and the Plaice Goujons (my choice) really appealed on the day. Neither of us care for squid or cockles, and my Partner dislikes whitebait. My second choice would have been the Fritto Misto; an Italian inspired mixed fish plate with whitebait, squid, sardines and samphire (but I would have sidestepped the squid). We also ordered a side of chips to share. To drink, we had a canned fizzy orange drink. We did enquire about other plates that might appear on the menu during our stay, with particular reference to lobster, but the owner said that it was too expensive and would not sell. The meals arrived, accompanied by bread and butter, a generous helping of chilli sauce for the prawns, and tartare sauce for my plaice. The fish was excellent and the chips too, everything that should have been hot was indeed hot. I particularly enjoyed the moist and tasty plaice. We thought we might return on one of the other lunchtimes here in Mumbles but visits to other attractions in the Gower Peninsula, drew us away from Mumbles during the day. We would happily recommend this eatery to anyone. All dishes were cooked to order, you could tell. A bit of a wait when it’s busy, but rewarding.

We came to Mumbles on our first UK trip because we were enchanted with the name. We are from south Louisiana, which has unparalleled seafood cuisine. Gower Seafood Hut compares favorably to any seafood I have ever eaten; it was a true highlight of our...

Lovely little seafront snack shack serving tasty seafood in generous, shareable sizes. It's difficult to only have the one!

Such a little gem. A converted horse trailer on the promenade selling simple but delicious seafood. Deep fried prawns, whitebait, calamari with delicious homemade chilli jam and all cooked to order. Very friendly staff. Forget the fast food outlets and drop by here for a...

Whitebait, chilli prawns, fish gougons, chips, bread and butter, all perfectly cooked by the welcoming and friendly staff. We visit Swansea now and again and make a beeline for this hidden gem. Best seafood we’ve tasted this year.

Every trip has to start with a stop here, the food is just delicious. Fresh, great quality and excellent value. Friendly banter and fun service. A complete upgrade on fish and chips by the sea.

We ordered miso frito, chillii prawns and skinny fries. We sat on a nearby bench and after about 20 minutes the lovely lady who took our order called our name out. The food was delicious and really good value. Amazing what can be produced from...

Yummy food, tasty plaice goujons and calamari. Much much better than the food than in an expensive so called destination restaurant the night before. Had I had not been in middle of a walk I would have had a can of wine from Tesco express....

Absolutely first class food & service. The food was really tasty and the staff know how to make the experience even better. Thank you

brilliant seafood but no good if you are on a budget, lovely but expensive, i would recommend the hot and spicy chilli prawns, keep up the good work!

Saw the reviews and decided to give it a try when we visited the Mumbles. Lovely freshly cooked food on the seafront, what a treat. Staff are really friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

Lady G discovered this wonderful place and what a find Everything cooked to order (except my cockles which I chose to have cold), fritto misto, plaice goujons that restored my enjoyment of fresh plaice, calamari cooked spot-on, whitebait and fried potatoes we stopped there as...

Delicious, fresh chilli prawns, traditional cockles and deep-fried white bait - yum! Located on the Mumbles promenade.

Lovely food all from a tiny hut, cooked and served by such friendly people. Don’t go to this area without popping along for a quick bite to eat for lunch here. Lots of benches and walls to perch on while enjoying the food and scenery....

It is what is says it is… a seafood hut, so don’t go expecting a sit down restaurant. Turn up, place your order, hang around for 5 or 10 minutes while its cooked, find yourself a wall or a bench to sit on and enjoy...

Lovely fresh seafood & great menu choices, the chilli jam served with the prawns was outstanding. Customer service was great too very welcoming & friendly. Beautiful food to accompany the beautiful views.

Not much not to like, fresh yummy seafood at fair prices served by a lovely couple.

Lovely little cafe right on the beach front of the Mumbles and the sea..very good food menu and drinks...very friendly and happy staff too

Phenomenal. Loved the cockle popcorn & plaice gujons. Highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic food. The calamari was light and not chewy, the white bait was a mass of ligthly battered heaven, the plaice wad fresh and cooked to perfection. Well worth the 5ins as the food was cooked to order. A must visit if you are in the Gower / Mumbles.

Simply small plate of fish and chips, slightly overcooked prawns in sweet jam without the chilli. Mandolin chopped spuds " deep fried potatoes", cooked well.

Gorgeous fresh seafood, great staff

Great food. Great location. Great service. Thanks

Fried food in a box. Tasted ok.....can't say any more really

Freshly caught and freshly made. A delightful spot for a snack. Breading as light as air and a fresh squeeze of lemon on top adds to a delicious afternoon bite. Arrived at 12:30 and there was already a long queue of people so get there early. Appreciated the social distancing matters while taking orders and serving food.

Super duper seafood to take away and eat on the sea front (or in your car if the rain comes!) - could be the best view from any food outlet in the Mumbles. There was a bit of queue but it moved so quickly and service was friendly and efficient.

Yummy food. Very busy but worth the wait.

Amazing food! Really fresh and delicious 😋

Awesome cockle popcorn! Love it

SO disappointed to find it closed after Google was telling me it was open. My lunch ruined... The focal point of my trip out!
