Newton Inn in Swansea

My local but I rarely go there, no atmosphere, no music, no food! Wine not very good either

Standard pub, cheap round fair play. Basic pub menu £11 for any of the usual food.

I want my local to be great but there's little to no atmosphere. Decent selection of beers and service was fine. I'll keep going to support local but hope it gets better 🤞🏻

Little Tap house. Good selection. Nice atmosphere. Go for a pint before dinner.

Nice and calm pub. Great place to meet friends and have a good time

Full of Westburn Filth. Absolute HOVEL.

Nice pint, don't know about the food

Very cosy, friendly pub with a good choice of drinks.👍

Amazing pub in Mumbles. Friendly people.

This is a lovely traditional pub. They are great. This one is great. Get out of your house and mix with other human beings. Generally, if humans go to pubs, they are also great. What’s to lose? 👍😊

My family and I visited the pub as we had travelled a long way for the weekend and were hungry. There were signs inside and out of food that was on offer and set meals. When we went to place an order the landlady said the pub no longer serves food. Why keep up all the signage??

We were staying just down the road and went to the Newton Inn for a meal. Booked as it was full the first night. Classic pub food. Gammon, curry, fish and chips etc. We happened to be there for the pub quiz which we took part in and was great. Very friendly staff and great landlord.

What a great traditional local pub. Good selection of beers, real ales, larger, wine etc. Good traditional pub food. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

Nice local pub with good beer, only downside is the large turnover of managers.

My first visit to the Newton while on holiday with family from Glais. Well worth the drive to the Mumbles to eat here. Met Teresa, the new landlady who is very welcoming and customer focussed. We had a great meal with locally sourced home cooked food. Friendly staff and with Gower Power on offer altogether a super evening.

Lovely bar with lovely locals. If the chef is in, ask for some grub!

We stopped by the Newton tonight after hearing rave reviews about the way the new manager is running the place. We had a fantastic meal, I had the fish goujons and my wife had steak and ale pie both were homemade and outstanding. The atmosphere was so fantastic, The pub was spotless, the new staff are very friendly and welcoming and best of all it was very dog friendly which was very lucky for us. Will definitely be back

Great pub for a pint, or two, of local ales. Best to check if they're serving food. Under new management in February 2022.

Great pub, good food and good atomsphere. Wednesday night excellent quiz.

Beer was really good and obviously well looked after

We visited The Newton twice this week whilst staying with family and friends at Caswell Bay. The landlord and his staff were very friendly when we arrived, having accommodated our party of 7 plus dog, at short notice. They offer good honest pub grub at very reasonable prices. The home made lasagne and pie of the day options come highly recommended. We also enjoyed curry night on Thursday. We ordered at the bar and both food and drinks were delivered to the table. No problems at all inside with the dog which was great. Highly recommended if you’re on holiday in the area and like no nonsense honest value friendly local pubs! D and T, Leicester

The Newton Inn is now my new local due to a recent home move. This place is now under new management whom I met during my first time there. They are very friendly and welcoming. A very good atmosphere. I will be returning.

My local! A great place to have a beer! Great locals and so dog friendly!

Great place to go and watch the rugby when we visit my wife's mum who has lived locally all of her life, even though I am English. Very welcoming and great beers and food

village public house with good atmosphere, various beers & ales ,caterers for food ( at present not a big choice due to previous lock downs ) along with sports T.V. within walking distance to the village of mumbles.

Cjriss eggs .his he everr sobe ri sh

I'm new to the area (lived here for a year 😂) and to be fair it's always has been a nice local pub, although we do have to consider lockdown it has changed (understandly where here hasn't). The pub itself was fantastic and CV-19 rules are being followed, table service was mandatory and since the days Weatherspoons days I really something don't mind. Table service is amazing, it saves so much effort. What I don't want, is some "local" outside, while I'm having a cigarette and fresh air to hassle me when I'm going back inside. He did admit he was drunk but it's no excuse to grab me. Please keep an eye on your regulars pushing away new business, otherwise really good and the 4 star rating is worth it.

Nice pub, friendly bar man, good to be able to just walk in and get a drink without booking or having to have food in the current climate.

Glad to find this pub was up and running. Good beer called GowerPower really hit the spot. Lots of seating and friendly staff. Bit too many tvs for my liking but but didn't notice any more after a couple of drinks!

Very disappointed to see so many people breaking lockdown rules outside pub in the last few weeks. No consideration for others. Totally irresponsible. I know you can't control your clients & are losing money (BTW you aren't the only ones!!) but your staff are too close to each other too.

I went here for a few evening beers with a friend. The bar man looked put out that I had disturbed him, gruffly took our order and provided us with two drinks. The tables were ‘sticky’ with grime that had been rubbed around rather than wiped clean. The beer was very expensive and clearly had an issue with gas supply because it was terrible. But my big issue was a family sat with a young Visla dog on their lap, head and paws resting on a table where food would be served the next day. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HAVING A DOG FREE PLACE TO EAT IN SWANSEA? Anyway ... I won’t be going back despite the recent refurbishment this pub is going back to how it was with the previous owners .... and that was terrible !

Nice warm and welcoming! Sold Gower gold and Gower power on tap also! 👍

Why oh why don’t pubs have music on a Saturday night. No food and the cricket droning on in the background. It’s no wonder this pub is never successful.

Lovely pub and staff only downside is it is a bit expensive

A pub that has been nicely refurbished but still lacks quality management. Regularly when a barrel of beer runs out that is the end as no one is capable of changing the barrel. High staff turnover which also suggests management problems. Greatly in need of management improval.

Reasonable beer choice although not the cheapest in the local area.

The Newton Inn Mumbles do a great Sunday lunch which is very good value. The service is great as well. I can highly recommend you try it out.

Nice friendly, local pub. Has had a good renovation and looks great.

6 of us recently had a Sunday lunch at the Newton Inn. The food and service was excellent and will definitely return soon.

Readers need to be aware that this pub has had a remarkable makeover. It is now bright and airy serving meals as well.

This pub has been recently refurbished and is now a cosy pub with a nice atmosphere. We haven’t tried the Pie and Mash yet but have heard good reports. It is now probably the nicest pub in the area and a great asset for the Newton community.

Spotless and a friendly welcome

Good service nice pint brought back some memories

Lovely food fantastic pub with a warm welcome and friendly staff a great place to relax with friends and family

Lovely fresh food and piping hot

Very friendly pub.nicely decorated and a good food menu.

Beautiful interior, staff are amazing quality oozes.

Was expecting good things from this pub, sadly however it appears it's being wound down prior to refurbishment & sale. That said, not a bad local (Gower Brewery beers on tap!) no food however (not even crisps or nuts!). Hoping it gets back to its former self once refurbished :-) Update as of Wednesday 09/05/18; The Newton Inn is now closed for refurbishment. Oddly, the nearby Rock & Fountain Inn appears to have reopened! Hmmmm...

Closed down may bank holiday Monday for a 6 week refurbishment.

Visited here today as an off chance whilst on a day trip with my family. I am disabled and can’t access many places so was so happy to be able to get into somewhere without a drama... the staff were very accommodating and when we were having a chat, it’s hard to believe they have been there for just a week. Will deffo be visiting here again as having heard the plans for this place I’m excited to enjoy a night out here, and also when the refurb is done I can’t believe this place will be even serving vegetarian meals. It’s so hard to find somewhere to eat that doesn’t cross contaminate whilst cooking. Thank you to the land lady for the lovely welcome. Good luck with your plans we are excited for you and will deffo be there for meals and nights out. ❤️

Called there today and the place was filthy. It is completely run down. The toilets had no seats fitted. It is not far off derilict. The glass given to my husband had not been washed properly. They didn’t have soda for goodness sake. The staff were not cut out to be bar staff. Really bad experience. The brewery should not permit this place to function. I’m not sure that the environmental health would be too impressed either.

Visit date – Sunday 02/04/17 The 5 of us in our party were all delighted with our Sunday Roast dinners. Choice of 3 roast meat joints and traditional vegetables with gravy and sauces to accompany…. All above displayed on 2 heated carvery units then proudly and generously served by the Landlord himself. Special thanks to all at the Newton inn for a fantastic afternoon. A traditional Sunday dinner not to be missed !!

We called without booking after walking our young spaniel.warm welcome from staff and invite to lounge where dogs are allowed.Superb meal,generous portions,vegetables cooked spot on and tasty.choice of beef,turkey and pork again cooked to perfection.well done, will definetly call again.

Good quality home cooked food at a reasonable price,.

Estuvimos aquí hace unos 5-6 años en nuestra última visita y disfrutamos de una noche maravillosa con amigos y buena comida. Es por esta razón por la que volvimos este año para vivir esa experiencia re con nuestra familia! Boca Todo regado por algunos cordero delicioso hock nos decepcionó ver que no sirven! Así que pedimos una variedad de platos... el único plato con retroalimentación positiva en todos era el "pastel de shepherd's"! La hamburguesa doble, la cadera, chuletas de cerdo y las salchichas de cordero eran todos muy decepcionante! Sin duda no volveré!

Los cuatro de nosotros comimos aquí en tres ocasiones y quedamos gratamente sorprendidos por la buena comida que probamos. Especialmente el mexicano pollo {que tuve dos veces y la lasaña {} que también tuvimos dos veces}, y como galés albóndigas. Este es un "pub de los locales y la selección de la comida es básica con un pocos pecials' en oferta. La comida es casera y muy sabrosa, pero no es caro, en nuestra opinión, tamaño porciones decentes. Teníamos los budines en una ocasión fueron aceptables, a media supongo. Los baños están impecables y tienen una decoración agradable, bien hecho y este era agradable ver! Nos hemos dado cuenta de que los aseos en algunos establecimientos de la zona son un poco olvidado y no atendidos.

Nos alojamos en Newton, pero vale la pena este pub agradable a viajar. Pueblo bonito paseo de mumbles frente. Buena cerveza, lager y opciones de sidra. Un buen vino. Dirigido por una familia y una buena gente favorito pero también para los turistas. La verdadera sorpresa es la comida casera. Buena selección de favoritos pub hizo en casa desde productos locales de calidad. Cosas sabrosas y personal amistoso y acogedor. Charlar con los lugareños en el bar también. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Volvimos para comer el domingo con mi marido. Estilo tradicional tuvimos carne asada, carne de cerdo y tuve, acompañados por duros, asado, patatas y zanahorias cachorro, arvejas, col, coliflor y un favorito personal de queso mucho hay Dios mío por tan agradable que no qué dejar nada. Segunda visita para comida tan bonita como la primera vez wow salsa lleno de jugos de carne de fiar (¡. La decoración ha cambiado nueva sillas, mesas, nuevas instalaciones de baño, muy elegante y fresco. Esto es realmente viene en su propio ahora. Las últimas personas realmente han empujado el bote y poner en un montón de trabajo duro. Bien hecho.

Buena relación calidad-precio fordelicious clásicos de pub. Estamos trabajando lentamente nuestro camino a través del menú (aunque es difícil resistirse a ir para la stak y ale pie cada vez! ), y no hemos encontrado un mal plato todavía. Las ensaladas son cada vez más variadas, con una adición reciente col casero. Los baños también han sido remozada recientemente como los directores recogida en la decoración.

Great Family pub, highly recommend! Have been for food there on many occasions and I am always highly impressed! And they have a great selection of boooze! ;)

GREAT FAMILY BAR, WITH GREAT FOOD!

Fuimos el sábado simplemente han desaparecido. Con mi marido y mi hijo. El Newton Inn pub es muy pintoresco y ambiente rústico. lleno de gente disfrutando de una buena noche. Decidimos tener comida. Teníamos tres diferentes platos igualmente riquísimo curry, pescado y carne. Todos los...

... Nos volvimos para el almuerzo de domingo esperando que era tan bueno. Y, lo que era. Sabiendo lo difícil que es para rescatar un pub que se habían caído solo el favor me daba miedo. Pero estaba ocupado con un ambiente encantador. Así que...

My Wife and I with our 3 young children all ate Sunday Lunch Yesterday at the Newton Inn. Quite remarkably the Best place to eat in Swansea! Plenty of high quality, freshly home made food for all five of us to really enjoy. Donna and Gareth were wonderful. Lisa and Jade Bar staff were fantastic for the three hours we enjoyed immensely!Would highly recommend this Pub for both Food and Drink to everyone. Both Top end quality for very reasonable prices. The Beef and Turkey were both to die for! Can't wait to go back for exceptional staff, food and drink.

Good friendly service. Great food. So good we went back for more. Good size portions. Nice landlady. Would be happy to eat there all the time.

We went to the Newton, as it came up as dog-friendly in an app, and our usual restaurant in Mumbles was closed that evening. Had to eat in the bar as we had the dog with us, which was a bit dingy, but the lounge/restaurant side looked very pleasant.Food was really good - the steak pie had a lot of meat in it, and the crust was also very good.Staff were very friendly, attentive without being intrusive. Tucked a bit out of the way, but well worth a visit to try the food.

We called in this evening for an impromptu meal on our way home. We had the vegetable lasagne and steak and ale pie. Both were home cooked, portions were generous and they were very tasty. As always, a warm welcome with great service.

We stopped of for a evening meal with two small children and service was good,but food was awful,we wont be going back.

Good friendly local which had just been taken over during our visit. The new owners were very helpful and friendly,himself has a great sense of humour,I am sure they will make a success of the place

Called in today as I was passing to see if there was any available space for Sunday lunch, the place looked pretty full so wasn't holding out too much hope. A warm welcome was given by the bar staff and I was informed they could indeed squeeze me in for lunch. Well when my dinner came I nearly had to ask for another table to put it all on as there was mountains of it! I had beef and the turkey which was cooked perfectly, the roast potatoes were absolutely gorgeous too and the cauliflower cheese to die for. The chef also came out to enquire if my meal was ok, the staff were all very friendly to be fair and I shall certainly be returning.

Popped in on a whim. Quiet but it was early. They took the trouble to seat us by the window, and were friendly and charming. Beef, pork and, nice surprise, Turkey! They offered a mix of all if required. Went for 5 hr cooked beef which was nice, and Turkey which was beautiful. Seriously good. Chef came out after for brief chat. All in all a lovely experience. Well done all. Here's hoping the locals flock back.

I visited here Sunday just gone for a meal with my family and I have to say the food was outstanding. The service was great, really friendly staff who took our order at the table, we all decided to have beef dinners, the meat arrived on the plate with boiled potato, roast potatoes, stuffing and a Yorkshire pudding, we were given a terrine with a choice of vegetables in and there was more than enough for the 3 of us. The beef was so tender it fell apart and we all left with full bellies. I'd highly recommend the Newton inn to anyone looking for a lovely Sunday lunch with a friendly atmosphere and good prices!

We visited this pub after a reccomendation from friends, we had a superb Sunday lunch in a very friendly atmosphere, ideal for families , the prices were good as were the portions, I can reccomendation this pub and we will be lunching here again

I popped in for a pint and thought the prices seemed so reasonable that I would have my supper there too! I was surprised by the excellent prsentation and quality of the food in comparison to the price. After I was invited to join the quiz and uickly found the warmth of the welcome from the proprietors extends to a lovely bunch of locals too! I will be back soon!

Love the new publicans Donna and Gareth. The cask beer was good with 3 on tap. Really friendly. Didn't get the chance to try the food but looked good, all home cooked and sourced locally ... But still good value. Definitely coming back.

The Newton is under new management after a couple of years of steady decline and there's a massive improvement already. The locals are starting to drift back after so many of them left due to the random and frequent closures of the last regime, not to mention the Fawlty Towers style rudeness.It's worth noting that the Facebook page titled 'The Newton Inn' is still under control of the last manageress who is busying herself deleting any positive comments about the new managers, so it's not really to be trusted at the moment if you want any information about the pub.Anyway, the Newton is back on its feet again and well worth returning to.

Heard The Newton Inn was under new management so thought we would give it a try. We booked table for 8 only 5 and baby were able to meet. This was not a problem for the new management - Gareth & Donna, very friendly atmosphere and very accommodating with regards to the baby. Food, well the food was perfect, couldn't fault anything. Well done Gareth and Donna (the hostess with the mostest) . Good to see that a community pub is returning to its roots, thank you both xxx

The Newton is under new management, so we thought we'd give it a go for Sunday lunch. The food was great. Home cooked, plenty of it, so much in fact that we couldn't finish. Add to that reasonably priced and friendly service. I will certainly be going back.

Went down for food as I heard new owners/chef had taken over. Lovely friendly welcome, beer very nice and my Sunday lunch was outstanding! Reason I've given 4 stars is because the gravy was a tad runny for my liking...However, the food was top notch :-)

The Newton has recently been taken on by new management and they are warm, friendly and welcoming. This is a local pub and they are trying to turn it back in to the local it once was. Beer is great and Sunday lunch is amazing!Worth a visit.

I hadn't read these reviews before our meal. We booked a table only because its advertised as dog friendly. When I arrived the manageress was extremely rude and told me the dog couldn't stay even though I'd booked with the manager. "He shouldn't have done it" was her response when he confirmed. There was no apology. It really spoilt the atmosphere initially. When the whole family arrived we made the best of it and the food was good. However extremely slow.....and the manageress served us through gritted teeth. I will not be returning to this place......unless she has a day off.

The food is ok for standard pub grub and a reasonable price. The beer is sometimes great and other times disappointing. However the manager has all the charisma of a snail - rude, unhelpful and generally acts as if she couldn't be less interested in her clientele.

I visited on a wet Friday evening to try the food. I had read in the Swansea 'What's On' about the aspirations of the new landlords. The tables in the saloon bar were all reserved (a good sign) but I was invited to eat in the public bar. The furniture was very dowdy - but I understand the new landlords have plans to improve the interior of the place. I ordered one of the specials, which was a lamb cutlet. The only choice of vegetables was jacket potato or chips, with salad. I opted for the jacket potato. When the meal eventually came, the rather tough lamb was a struggle to cut with the knife provided, but the sauce to accompany it was delicious and lifted the meal. The baked potato and the salad were fine - if unimaginative. I might give it another chance sometime - but they'd need to raise their game to get my lasting custom.

We visit the Newton Inn regularly and have never been disappointed with our food. Whether it's a Sunday lunch or an evening meal, the food is consistently cooked to a high standard. It is all freshly cooked so sometimes there's a slight wait but we prefer to wait rather than be served processed fast food. Sunday lunch is the tops, always served with lovely vegetables, better than we've experienced anywhere else! We're very fortunate to have this as our local and long may it continue!!

If you want to wait an hour and twenty minutes to be served your pub grub, then this is the place for you. A long wait in a busy establishment can sometimes be forgiven if the staff are friendly and welcoming and it is the height of the season, however if it is a rainy October evening and you are the only people in the place and the staff disinterested then it can be extremely irritating. It´s not so much that the place is unfriendly, more that it is unwelcoming and the staff detached.

The Newton Inn used to be a great pub, we've eaten there several times in the past. Alas it is great no more. This visit, Sunday lunch time, was incredibly unpleasant. We found out on Saturday evening that friends had made a reservation for Sunday lunch. We wanted to join them so we called the pub several times on Saturday evening to change the reservation to a table for four and the phone was switched off. On Sunday morning we tried again with no success, so we decided to get to the pub early to make our request. The manager told us that she'd have to look in the book, then she left us standing at the bar, not asking if we wanted a drink, while she began polishing tables, this went on for some time. My husband and I were completely confused by her behaviour and stunned that we had to request a drink from her; there was no one serving behind the bar. Eventually she studied her reservations and told us we could have a table but we'd have to wait a short while (15 minutes longer). Great, thank you, we replied. We mentioned the phone being switched off and she told us she'd switched it off the night before because she was very busy, although it was now switched on (we told her it wasn't). To be honest she acted as if she was paying for our food rather than us. Then when we ordered, my husband, who has a stomach complaint, wanted to order just a started. This was not possible; she said she'd have to charge him a main meal price for it. Apparently there was a set menu and those were the rules, although we failed to see these rules on the blackboard and there were no individual menus available. We ordered three roast dinners and a main course size of the starter my husband wanted (he ate very little of it). We then proceeded to wait an hour for our meals. To be honest the pub was not as packed as the manager had implied and we could easily have been squeezed in. When the food came it was poor, utterly tastless; I couldn't tell if my meat was lamb and there was no mint in the mint sauce, it was merely sweetened vinegar. We didn't stint and bought plenty of drinks so she made money out of us. At the end of the meal I asked the hostess about her rule of charging main course prices for starters. I'd already explained my husband's dilemma to her earlier. She responded by saying that she'd been ripped-off too often in the past by people just ordering starters. When we suggested that in our case she could have made an exception - we are not spring chickens, my husband is 62 - she told us very rudely that she'd put herself out to accommodate us and if we didn't like her rules we could leave. Trust me, we will not be eating again at the Newton Inn. A manager with this attitude makes for poor enjoyment and digestion. We eat out very often and have never encountered her rules nor her poor attitude before. Thank goodness the Mumbles is awash with excellent places to eat!!

Visited for Sunday Roast today and it was the best roast we have ever had in a pub! Cauliflower cheese was a particular highlight and it all was obviously all homemade. Will definitely be returning and will recommend it to all our friends.

Popped in for a quick lunch on a 'nostalgia' visit to Newton where I lived in the 1960s and 70s. The food was good with plenty of choice and the prices reasonable. The staff were pleasant and helpful and we were surprised there weren't more customers.
