We regularly eat here every Thursday for our tea, our favourites are prawn cocktail popcorn and butter chicken strips sirloin steak chicken tikka masala gamon and burgers, staff and service always great

Staff were very friendly. Great place to eat before going to The Taliesin Centre.

Never visited before, but friendly staff and a handy bar meal selection. Very nice.

A fabulous evening spent in the Hen Dderwen. The band Guilty Pleasure were excellent. I don’t very often go out in the evening but thanks to Glen(the proprietor) for making the evening very special. I will definitely be going to the Hen Dderwen again and recommending it to my friends. A big thank you to Glen

I've never left a review before on anything, but I feel I should warn other people about this place. I had food here on Monday, which was lovely, and so was the lady serving us. The landlord however was absolutely vile, shouting and using foul language towards the staff. It was very embarrassing to witness!! I wasn't the only customer who found his behaviour abhorrent, I would NEVER return and I would certainly not recommend this place to anyone!!

Absolutely amazing! The best pub I ever been too! The staff has been so nice and great atmosphere the food is absolutely amazing 10/10 xx

Amazing atmosphere, great service & extremely friendly staff, always a great welcome

Glenn’s mixed grill was delicious and the peroni goodness me it was refreshing! Will be returning soon for a steak from Glenn x

Amazing service as always by Glen and his staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is always lovely and fresh. Fantastic cook x

Fantastic experience. Visited for a friends birthday. The staff couldn’t do enough to make the night as fantastic as they could. Staff were extremely friendly, food was excellent and made sure everyone had a fantastic time! Thank You for a fantastic evening.

If I could of given service a 10 I would off we were served by ruby me partner and 2 young kids, ruby ( I hope that’s her name long black hair) was on her own and kept apologising for the wait which tbf we didn’t wait long we were there just over a hour that’s with dessert but she was friendly and approachable there were other people in bar area who were abit rowdy (we expected it as was a Friday night but she kept asking if we were ok and if they were too rowdy honestly all round lovely girl with great customer service, my partner worked in this pub a few years ago and never had that kind of service as we did tonight so thank you x

Had my birthday meal at the hen today and the food was outstanding!! The staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough to make my birthday special thank you guys... the lovely manager treated me to a little birthday dessert played happy birthday and I even had a candle such a lovely place full of great atmosphere definitely recommended xx

Had a friends birthday lunch here today. Sarah was fantastic and very attentive and the food was amazing. The landlord, Glen also made a big fuss when he knew it was my friends birthday, he even played happy birthday and brought a dessert with a candle to blow out. Will be returning again, thank you.

Visited today with friends for Sunday lunch, I had the chicken which was amazing, juicy and moist. Thank you glen for the amazing service and atmosphere. Will be back.

Visited the Hendderwen today with friends, ordered veg chilli, and fudge cake for dessert, came out piping hot and did not disappoint, fudge cake was insane. Lovely atmosphere , lady who served us was so polite. We will be back

Great thanks to Louise the chef and Glen the manager for such good service. Food was outstanding, atmosphere so friendly. Will definitely return soon

Used to frequent the pub a lot before lockdown. It then was very hit and miss for food. Have recently had two meals with family and friends the most recent on the 10th September. All of our meals were great and the service fast and friendly. Nice to see it’s going in the right direction

Great visit to the pub. Quality drinks, beer was nice and fresh and much needed after a long day at work. Will come back again in future.

Excellent pub with a great selection of drinks and lovely menu. Had an amazing burger that was cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance made for a great night out. Highly recommend for both food and drinks!

Went for a family meal for a birthday, service was quick and staff were so friendly. Food was amazing (best steak I’ve ever had) will definitely be going back this weekend.

It was easy to place our food order and we were served drinks, then we sat down and relaxed before enjoying a tasty Pub Classic meal, served promptly by friendly staff. We recommend lunch at the Hen Dderwen.

Came to the place for a few pints after work, brilliant atmosphere, staff were really friendly and helpful, lovely family friendly pub, food was amazing and fairly priced, would definitely recommend and return

It's the really friendly pub the staff are great the food is out of the this world. I would recommend the place to anyone.

Had food here and it was absolutely outstanding, the service was immaculate and the owner Glen is a lovely kind person. Would recommend this place to anyone! Great for birthday parties and events etc.

Excellent choice of food, starters,mains, and desserts

Good food, good service all you want for a birthday celebration. Will come back 🤙🏼

Great service and even better food.

Dropped in today. Lovely friendly place. The beer was great. Highly recommend. Freshly painted outside area was very comfy. I will be back next week.

Not happy that you couldn't get a coffee after your food(1900hrs)

Called in for a pint, when I was passing.

Sunday lunch 😋 & reasonable priced recommended you try

After visiting here last week for the first time in years we were so impressed with what the new landlord has done with the place we visited again this week! The food is delicious, super reasonable in price! Service is great and the staff are fabulous especially the young lady Jenna who is very friendly and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble! Thank you! We look forward to our regular visits here now!!

Lovely meal with family very friendly staff

Great pub to wine and dine in, unfortunately food takes a while to come out so you are waiting a long time which is difficult with young children. Pleasant and friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere. Enjoyed the burgers, would recommend.

Visited as a group of four - two teenagers, a senior and an adult on two occasions recently. Staff were very friendly and always are. They are always accommodating and will assist where changes to the menu are required. Service was prompt. Food was of good quality. We had a Lasagne, Southern Fried Chicken burger, a few sides to share and a portion of chips as there were different appetites to cater to. We will definitely be visiting again.

Service was really good and friendly food was lovely came quickly and was very tasty

Lovely staff.Beautiful food.Will definitely be going back

Worst pub in Swansea west. Booked a table at 1pm.......3pm no sign of food. No manager available......no refund.......stay away.

Pub/Restaurant very welcoming, very clean with friendly,helpful staff. The new Manager - Glenn is so friendly and enthusiastic and has made an enormous difference to the running of the Hen Dderwen. Iv had a few meals there which have been very nice,well presented and always hot. I also love that there is live entertainment there.

Lasagna good, steak pie good, service good. Peas were tasteless, need to look at them. A few kids took over the place, hence 4 star for atmosphere. Will return.

Very good condition very good food and the staff are very helpful 👍 👌 😀

New management . Food was really impressive . Really great value and really great portions . Kids meal was spot on. Would highly recommend

Just come out of the Hen Dderwen and it’s an absolute dream compared to what it was a couple months ago!

Absolutely outstanding experience here would 100% eat here again! The establishment has been taken over by new management and I couldn’t be happier, I had the mega mixed grill so compliments to the chef filled me up well and truly, the service and experience I had here was a 10/10

Stunning food, great staff, and a really friendly atmosphere. Couldn't ask for anything more. The new owners are doing a fantastic job, and we will be back soon

Went for Sunday lunch after not visiting for a few months. Bad experience today. Told beef was off the menu - only chicken and turkey available (fair enough). Ordered 4 lunches. Waited 40 mins for food to arrive. No roast potatoes or 'creamy mash' on the plate as stated on the menu. Just 4 boiled potatoes which were raw (could not cut through them). Complained to bar staff. Manager came over and was very apologetic explaining they were new and finding their feet. Refund for half the meals given and free ice cream for our child. Not sure what chef they use but clearly needs to improve sharpish. Not sure if we will go back any time soon.

My wife and I had a meal here for the first time in months. Wow, what an experience. The food was very good, the service was excellent. Good luck to Glen and the team. Great to have our "local" back.

Wait to be served .. pool table not level. Food not cheap

Visited this evening with my family. Had a fantastic time! I loved the food and the service brilliant. This is definitely a place we will visit again on special occasions

Absolutely fabulous!! The food was out of this world and the service second to none. I can't recommend this place enough!

Great food and friendly staff :)

Nous sommes venus ce soir afin de pouvoir charger notre voiture pendant le repas. Un tout petit peu d attente pour le propriétaire est en charge du pub depuis 1 semaine et le pub a beaucoup de succès. Le repas était délicieux et la décoration très jolie pour le couronnement. Très bonne adresse.

Very warm welcome and lovely food

New owners are lovely & friendly & food is great. Service was a little slow but all well seeing as they’ve only just taken over & getting it all up & running. Staff apologised for delays but continued to check we were ok/if we needed anything. The whole place has had a revamp and is cosy. So much better than before!! Highly recommend

Visited tonight, got chatting to the new landlord who seems lovely. looking forward to the kitchen reopening!

Just had a wonderful meal 16 of us from Laugharne Court really enjoyed.

Used to have way more on their menu. Nice foods and staff

I've eaten here a few times and each time the food has arrived promptly and well presented. I don't know what cheese they use on the lasagna and nachos, but it's particularly good. The staff are all attentive and cheerful.

Warm welcome from the pool team, good choice of beers, great evening 👍.

We used to visit regularly. We visited once again yesterday. Our summary is we won't again. I had booked a table for 5 pm- it wasnt. The table we were given had debris on it - the edges of the table were filthy, crusted never cleaned. The cracks are showing in more ways than one. Music not suitable and loud.

Fabulous experience with the staff, all were very friendly atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Food was absolutely delicious 😋

Had an amazing mixed grill. The staff were warm and welcoming especially the tall guy. Would deffo recommend to anyone passing new management have seemed to turn the place around

Such a nice group of people and staff

Lovely food!! Staff are very friendly I shall be returning 100%
