King's Head Pub in Swansea

Great food and service in a quaint little place. Good gluten free & vegetarian menu Dog friendly too. Would recommend

We had lunch here and sat outside looking out at the beautiful view. I had the ribeye steak with chimichuri. It was the best steak I've had in a long time.

I really enjoyed my evening here. The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and bar staff went out of their way to accommodate us. It was a really delightful evening. Downside was the dessert, apple pie was overheated in probably a microwave and so was a soft mush and bland. And also not the Inn's fault but as we were camping in Hillend there was one streetlight on the whole walk, closer to the residential area and a dark walk back without pavements. Overall would love to go back 😊

Called in for dinner. Great beer and great food. What a jewel of a pub.

Local pub with good food and atmosphere. Se habla polaco;)

This pub is located in such a lovely spot, right next to a church overlooking a gorgeous mountainside view. You can watch wild horses and sheep walk by and local residents are always friendly. The inside and outside of this pub is looked after well, with ample seating and it's very dog friendly. It was just up the road from our location in Llangennith and a great place to rest after a day at the beach. Gave four stars as the steak we had was way over cooked than we asked it to be (for £25+) and the curry dish we had was okay.. overall a great summer pub though 👍🏼

This was a return visit to this lovely pub. It is in a beautiful location with great views. We have stayed in the accommodation before but this time we just came for dinner. It is advisable to book a table as it does get extremely busy. The food is excellent quality, and the menu is really varied, catering to all needs. The portion sizes are impressive and definitely worth the money. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. This is a very special place, and I would definitely recommend it.

This is now our 4th time holidaying here. That says it all. The staff are great, delicious food (curry night, tuesdays), great service and sat outside on a sunny day. What a treat. Breakfast was great and was able to order a mix of, besides having a pre-set menu. The children loved it and with the beach just a mile away, they had a super super time. The rooms were clean, tidy and had tea and coffee facilities. The staff, again were very friendly, helpful and nothin was too much. We wil go back and recommend it to everyone.

Went for dinner last night here, having stayed in the hotel a few years ago. The hotel stay was excellent back then, but the dinner last night was poor sadly. We waited 90 minutes for food which was below expectations. Two of the group had curries which literally just came with rice and a small dish of curry (poppadoms were £2.45 for two.....)!, the fish and chips were OK, and the burgers were below average. The "buttermilk vegan burger" for £18 was literally two pieces deep freeze Quorn chucked in the deep fryer, not that many chips and not much else between the buns. If we hadn't waited so long, perhaps it would have been ok but to wait around and then get something which was not worth the money felt disappointing. Since staying at the hotel, the pub restaurant area has been extended inside and out, and it just felt like the kitchen perhaps was not able to handle the extra covers that were being packed in. We saw a slot of people come in, get seated then leave or move because the tables were too close together. Appreciate that there is a small window to make revenue in the Welsh summertime, but if you want return customers, then the standards have to be higher at these prices. If you're going, get there early and choose the fish and chips!

What a great pub. A pointy of their 'The Usual' is an ale the memory of which I will long cherish. And the food is as good as a pub meal gets. My ribeye steak even arrived rare, exactly how I wanted it, and those who like their steaks this way will know how unusual this is. The scampi are not the usual generic things but are delicate chunks, perfectly cooked and wrapped in a delicious batter. I could go on but you'd be better saving your time and going there to discover for yourself. Bon appetit 🤤

Lovely, walking up now again from our cottage with the outlaws and our black Labrador for food as it's sooo good 👍😊

We ate here two evenings in a very sunny week - they only take bookings to eat inside, which is OK decor- and ambience-wise but not great, but in August we were able to get seats both times outside on the front terrace wiht overlooks the pretty village, chruch and rolling countryside. Good range of real ales. Most of food good - the best and worse were both specials (which do vary by the day). The best wes a really good sea bass dish, and the worst a tasteless and boring venison curry where the meat was perhaps some kind of mince.

Went with 2 others who also had the £18 kings head burger which was nothing more than a cheap frozen burger, not what you expect for an expensive pub meal. Basically a kebab shop burger which I’d only be able to bear after a night out. Absolutely terrible food for the price and they didn’t even have Heinz ketchup

Came here for a meal on a Friday night. Did book the day before. Great menu choices. Very popular. Spaces to sit outside too

The staff couldn't have done more for us we asked to move inside to eat and when I spilled my glass (smashed it) of red wine they replaced it free of charge. They swapped tables to inside too.

Meal for 4 adults. Excellent service. Staff were really warm, welcoming and friendly. Lovely meal and would highly recommend the 10oz sirloin steak, it was seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Great lunch, I recommend the fish finger sandwich 😋

We spent a lovely Birthday/ Anniversary here. Thank you Anna for for your generosity, lovely to meet another plantswoman. You also running a top class restaurant and hotel. Very wide menu choice , including vegetarian and vegan recipes, all fresh and most enjoyable. Happy smiling Staff at all sittings and behind the bar, no matter how busy. A very memorable and happy few days.

Great location and views. Nice drinks and friendly staff. Food overpriced and average.

When I visit family in the Gower we always try to have a meal at The Kings Head. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny evening when we visited so we sat out on the front terrace with a lovely view over the village and Church. The food was excellent, well cooked , presented and served without a long wait. Especially good as the pub was very busy. Well done to the kitchen staff, they must have been very hot. I particularly liked the menus being colour coded, white for general food, green for vegetarian and yellow for Gluten free. What a great idea, saves customers ages going through everything to sort it out and perhaps having to ask. The staff were great too, friendly and efficient. The pub has a good inside restaurant area and another courtyard at the back with seating amidst beautiful flowers and shrubs. There is also a large car park. A super place to visit and you can stay too as they have rooms.

Amazing food, nice pint, friendly staff and a nice beer garden with a fantastic views

A great starting point for wonderful hikes. The people are very friendly and helpful. The food is wonderful. There was nothing wrong with it, but it also has its price. Reservations make sense on weekends and are best made in the large dining room. He's beautiful. The room was extremely spacious and clean, even if some things were getting old. I always wonder why there are no hooks/wardrobes in many hotels. You could just keep things more organized. You have to request room service if you want it. Thank you for everything.

Nice pub to enjoy a drink or two and a delicious meal.

Functional and comfortable rooms rather than quaint and quirky. Breakfast are good and freshly prepared. Good food in evening interesting curries on curry night. Beer better than Winelist but it is pub !

Did not stay at the Inn but went for tea on a Thursday when it was relatively quiet. Did have to wait 45mins for food but all the bar staff were lovely, food was relatively tasty and they did have a nice selection of drinks available.

Walked all day on the Wales Coast Path & staying overnight in Llangennith - only place to eat dinner, the Kings Head. Just wanted a nice simple meal. Fish & Chips with peas - the batter on the fish was soggy, chips were very ordinary. My wife's Steak & Mushroom pie was tasteless & the meat chewy. If we had an option to eat elsewhere we would have sent the food back & left.

An absolutely cracking village pub. The atmosphere is fun and lively and the staff are just brilliant - so welcoming, making a big fuss of the pooch and even giving her sausages for breakfast. Despite its buzzing vibe, we never had to queue at the bar and were served promptly. The food is tasty with generous portions - really enjoyed the curries and fish & chips. Breakfast was especially good. Loads of different seating options - the large garden at the front is particularly charming with views of the coastal landscape and church. Great beers - lots of options. Overall fantastic warm Welsh hospitality and wonderful to find a pub that it at the heart of the community and also super welcoming to holiday makers.

We have just returned from a wonderful long weekend stay at the King's Head Inn. I have to say I'm a little surprised at the last two reviews that were a little less than glowing as this was not our experience at all. We stayed with our little dog and were made to feel really welcome. All the staff were so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful or nicer. We ate in the restaurant on all 3 nights of our stay and the food was delicious. The accommodation was great, lovely and clean and a nice big room on the ground floor, perfect for our little dog. The beautiful sandy beaches are close by and perfect for a days walking. I will definately be recommending the King's Head Inn to our friends and family.

A couples night out with my faithful Stewie. My husband wanted to treat me to a nice pub and booked as its dog friendly! Unfortunately on arrival we were lead to a room full of England football supporters having a great time and why not. The waitress asked us to wait and then steamed us to a neighbouring bar again full and left us, no menus or advise. I went to the lovely restaurant side, quiet with lots of diners enjoying. I approached to complain as they shouldn’t have taken our booking if we were obviously not catered for that night. The lady returned after taking advice and told me they would make an EXCEPTION. I think this pub is very successful but not in fact dog friendly or maybe just need to think about how they treat their customers. I sat to order food, an empty table to my left and right, the dog nestled under the table, would it have hurt to place us as other diners or treat us as others? The next waitress came over to tell me we could not sit at this table with a dog. Again where is the service? We did order, we did eat, but it somewhat tarnished the nice evening we were expecting. The mains are approximately £25 the starters and sweet approx £8, with drinks £50 per head approx. So as an experienced establishment, somewhat disappointing.

Ah, where do we start? We last ate here just over two years ago, walked down from Kennextone campsite in the rain and enjoyed a really good meal. Fast forward to tonight. It smacks of a business in overreach - I'm aware hospitality is struggling for staff at the moment, but 1-2 staff at the bar for the covers is absurd, particularly given you can't run a tab. Staffing over, the food. Notwithstanding the 45 mins wait (see: staff, I guess), we received a very obviously frozen battered cod fillet (mushy flesh is a giveaway), and mushy peas that either weren't heated or sat in the pass too long. My chicken breast was overcooked to within an inch - I have no idea how you can make a chicken breast that tough - then a sweet pepper sauce covered with cheese, whacked under the salamander. Average. I can only guess this establishment is catering to the majority; if that's you, you'll love it. If you want decent pub grub, bear in mind the average is made up of highs and lows. This brings the average down.

Went there for Sunday lunch, think there might have been a shortage of vegetables and gravy. Very disappointed ☹️

Friendly staff, nice decor and rooms looked good though wasn't staying!

Sunday lunch was excellent staff friendly can't rate the rooms as did not stay. yes I do recommend a visit

We had a fantastic stay at the Kings head. The staff were so friendly and nothing was a problem. The rooms were very clean & plenty of hot water. The food was so tasty. Great location. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend the Kings head.

A lovely pub, in a beautiful location. The gardens were pretty and well kept. But it felt like it was set up to part tourists from their money, and feck all customer service.

Quick lunch with friends and doggies today. Lovely place, plenty of parking and great service/ food. Pizza was delicious and the proper home cut chips topped it off just right.

Best roast dinner on The Gower and a stunning location.

Way too expensive - cheapest meal £17 (chilli) and no kids menu - strikes of profiteering from 'inflation'. Why not have a lunch menu with a few sub £10 items - when you are trying to feed a family of five, spending way over £100 for a lunch at a pub is just too expensive, in the end we had a drink and a packet of crisps and went somewhere else.

Friendly, lots of food and drink options

Had lunch here...lovely friendly staff excellent food great service and doggy friendly. 🐕 🥰

One lamb and one roast pork. Huge amount of good quality, not over-priced food served by friendly staff. This is a great place for Sunday lunch - recommended.

Only had lunch, but that was a proper good meal. Minted lamb pie with veg & chips and a cracking pint of Pitchfork. Definitely come back next time. Very friendly people. Love it 👍

My favourite pub lunch place in the Gower

We were here for a three course meal with a tribute band. The food was outstanding, the flavours were to be savoured. I went for crispy chicken wings, and chicken wrapped in Parma ham for a main. My dessert was peach cobbler with ice cream, sadly I only ate the ice cream as I had absolutely no room for another bite of food. It was warm and cosy by the fire. Service was prompt and the staff friendly.

The King's Head is in great shape these days. Have known the place for years but the quality of everything this visit was better than ever - really spot on. They've extended the bar/restaurant area since we were last in and it's been done very tastefully to a high standard. Well done Lara and team - lovely welcome.

This is THE best Sunday dinner I have experienced for a little while, so good that I've already planned to go back. Speaking to the staff all food is made on site and they start preparing from around 6am, everything we had was so tasty and full of flavours (I even ate the swede which I don't normally like). There was a slight delay on our dessert, but the customer service was brilliant and it was handled amazingly. Location is in an area of beauty being in the Gower, you can see the sea and there are some stunning walking trails around, very handy to quench your thirst

Excellent meal in friendly country pub. Highly recommended

Being local this is a fabulous jewel in the village. We will meet up to celebrate friends birthday and they just look after you so well. I just wanted to give big thank you to everyone at the Kings head for looking after us so well making the birthday celebrations even more special. Will and Jamie behind the bar were amazing all night so attentive. And never moaning once when we kept nagging for music Prosecco and we had dog treats for the 4 legged pups celebrating with us. I know the food here is amazing curry night and Sunday lunch is legendary and worth every bit of praise in here. Thank you

Today I had a nice pint and perfectly cooked fish and chips. An excellent pub and great service. Recommended

Great food, good service, good value for money.

Lovely staff and food was good.

Visited the kings head on the basis of reviews and a friends recommendation , they were spot on ! Warm welcome from the moment we walked on, really friendly and attentive staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. We both had Sunday roasts which were excellent and so much food. Following mains, the very friendly host recommended the spiced pineapple crumble which the chef had “invented” that morning. It was delicious. You really won’t be disappointed with the kings head and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you to the team. You’re doing a great job!

My friends and I really enjoyed our Sunday lunch at The King’s Head on 7/1/2024. The food was excellent (fantastic roast lamb, a great vegetarian strudel, and a memorable crumble). Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff serving us.

I don't usually get excited about Sunday roasts at pubs, because more often than not I'm disappointed. The vegan roast at the Kings Head was an exception to this! The vegetable strudel was delicious, and served with all the trimmings and plenty of gravy (they gave us extra gravy for the table as well). Everything was really hot and fresh and was just the best after a day of surfing at Rhosilli bay. Staff were lovely. Can't recommend enough!

This is a family run pub and hotel which offers first class food, a great atmosphere and excellent accommodation. The range of beers and spirits is extensive - our favourite stop on Gower.

We stayed at The Kings Head and also ate there too. Both were fabulous. Our room was huge with a gorgeous bathroom. Both spotless. Ask for an upstairs room, sea view! Breakfast was lovely. I'm not a great "Welsh/English breakfast fan. Didn't matter. Fruit, cereals, yoghurts, full breakfast but lots more as well. Have the smoked haddock and poached eggs. Lush! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Spent New Year's Eve in the restaurant. Great atmosphere. Chilli prawns were amazing. Went to breakfast next day Margaret was so friendly, thank you! Would definitely recommend the accommodation and the pub. Great couple of nights away. Loved it!

brilliant pub and good good, but I wish there were better vegetarian options. I was hoping to get a pie as heard they were very good, but there was no veggie option on the menu

Ignored by staff, waited at the bar for 15 minutes, other people went into the restaurant where we couldn’t go to be served as we had dogs with us, ended up walking out and going elsewhere, we have been on other occasions and had great service.

Sunday Lunch….. yum. I’m a regular visitor but this was my first Sunday Lunch. The Roast Turkey was delicious obviously sliced from a roasted breast not that nasty pre sliced meat you sometimes get. The gravy was excellent as well…. It tasted of Turkey!! Often this isn’t the case. Really nice Cauliflower and Leak gratin. Only 1 issue, the stuffing was not great. I would definitely recommend, we really enjoyed it.

We booked for Sunday lunch, the food was really good with all the trimmings. Staff could have not been more helpful and pleasant. We had a drink in the bar beforehand, friendly, good atmosphere and great that is has a pool table.

The pub has lots of seating areas, food is good and the wine, but we booked a room in the purpose built rooms at the end of the car park and the rooms are high end and lovely, really nicely presented with under floor heating. Comfy beds, good shower, Wi-Fi, tv. Would highly recommend. It’s also a dog friendly pub and hotel.

We visited here today after a walk down rossilli and were pleased they were still doing Sunday lunch as it was after 5 o’clock we had the beef dinner it was absolutely delicious the beef was perfectly cooked , and it’s such a beautiful cosy place highly recommend 😋

Consistently excellent food , crispy belly pork, goulash - spicy 🫶 steak filled pie - all delicious. Warm friendly staff

Great food, excellent beer, wonderful service and so good in respect of being 'dog friendly' - couldn't do enough for us to help our two dogs settle. Really impressed and will certainly return next summer when we intend to visit the Gower again. Well done King's head.

Sunday lunch cold - edible but only just. Couldn't do coffee - machine broken. Everytime you wanted anything you had to fight your way through underage drinkers to order at the bar. Do yourself a favour and skip this place.

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly. Food was absolutely outstanding and delicious! Side dishes of cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets topped it off. Would highly recommend visiting here if you are in the area.

Everything about this hotel/pub is fantastic. Dog friendly, accommodating, wonderful staff and owners. The food is delicious and fairly priced. The room was better than most hotel rooms with mini fridge, safe and the biggest bath. Bed was very comfortable. Look forward to returning.

Spent a week at this special pub…excellent food, wonderful friendly staff and views to take your breath away….would highly recommend a visit

We had the most delicious gammon- the best for a very long time. The meat was succulent, the chips crispy and the salad dressing piquant.

Absolutely stunning location which never disappoints especially when the sun is out i always feel like im abroad as its such a beautiful pub with lots of plants and greenery around the views are idyllic. For food I had the salmon noodles as a main...

Disappointing food unfortunately. This place was recommended to me. The chicken wings were rubbery. The curry was watery and seriously lacking in flavour. Service and location are really good. I was told home cooked food but the naan came out of a packet.

Fantastic food in friendly village pub. The standard of food at the kings Head is above and beyond what you would expect from a village country pub. Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere all adds to the lovely experience. Highly recommended.

Went there in the hope of having a pleasant Sunday lunch, but found the bar staff rather unwelcoming and rude. Plus, half of one meal never arrived despite having brought it to their attention. Won't be going there again in a hurry.

Was a lovely place to stop for coffee & get some quiet laptop work done on a surf trip to the area. Staff were friendly, happy to accommodate us on our laptops & I felt at home with the relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely call by...
