Old Glais Inn in Swansea

I can’t praise this little gem enough. After a last minute phone call hoping for a table, a lovely woman booked us straight in for a carvery today. Even arriving early the woman at the bar was super sweet and helpful, having the table prepared for us. Our waiter was also lovely, got us straight in for the carvery and to my surprise, even the chefs were just the nicest guys!! The food was top notch, super fresh, super tasty. I’ve never been here before but can’t wait to return, thanks guys x

Always excellent, went today for Christmas party with friends. Superb!!

Had a Roast Dinner tonight with my family absolutely gorgeous meal we enjoyed it .The staff are very helpful and always back and forth checking that we were OK thank you and keep up the excellent work .

What a pleasure to dine in a great place, old values never fade away, all staff aims to please and ensure your experience is good. The only place I would go back to for a Sunday lunch. Thank you.

Still my favourite place for food. David and his staff are so attentive, even with a huge group booked in for Christmas lunch. she atmosphere is amazing and the food is second to none! The only downside is that it isn't my local! (Is that a downside though, as I would be like a barrel and bankrupt through eating there so often???) We had the Christmas menu today but I love their new menu too.

Best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time The place is spotless and the staff are so polite and obliging Great value for money

This is a lovely pub which was spotlessly clean and the food excellent. They are very adaptable at catering for dietary requirements and provided me with delicious gluten and dairy-free food. We went at a lunchtime on a cool day and it didn't feel very cosy.

Excellent food, service and surroundings Highly recommended

Nice local pub, with great food. Staff were excellent

Took my Mam out for her birthday, good value and it was lovely food..came to £41 ..not bad at all

Amazing experience. Food was exceptional. Staff were lovely. Highly recommend. We will be back.

My friend & I had the lunch special you can have 2 or 3 courses. The food was superb generous portions quality produce delicious fantastic value for the price we paid. The service was efficient staff friendly & couldn’t do enough for you the restaurant was spotless clean it was our first time visiting the pub & certainly will not be the last we shall be definitely returning actually next week intact for my birthday well worth visiting for a fabulous lunch & a lovely afternoon out together.

First time trying the Sunday dinner here and won't be out last! Seen really positive reviews on here and trip advisor so gave it a try and the food is beautiful! Very well run and such a lovely pub vibe there too! Will be returning for sure!!

We have been here three times since David has taken over and every time the food has been spot on , we have tried various dishes and the three meals for £18 on a Saturday is incredible value and a firm favorite with my wife and kids , I can highly recommend you take a visit to this little gem .

Excellent service and the carvery was outstanding. Highly recommend the old Glais inn

Fabulous place friendly staff and guests

Can not fault staff here. Thank you for your help today with my wife, grandson, and dog!

First time customers, definitely coming back. Food and service excellent and a very genuine welcome.

What an amazing birthday meal for 16 ppl this evening, from making the booking, preordering, arriving and eating. Super friendly staff, amazing service and outstanding meals. All dishes arrived within minutes of each other with no issues. Will definitely come again well done 👏

Great place...small plates are fantastic and a spacious beer garden

Went to the Old Glais for lunch with friends. All chose different starters and we agreed every one of them was outstanding. Similarly, the mains were some of the best meals we have ever had as a pub lunch, top restaurant quality. Excellent service and amazing value for money.

We had a lunchtime meal at the Glais Inn yesterday, thoroughly enjoyed, the food was delicious and very well presented, great service, we will be going back.

Had my husbands 60th birthday meal here on Saturday there were 21 of us and service was great meals were amazing compliments to the chef thank you Sian&team .

Visited the Old Glais Inn for lunch. From start to finish it was absolutely fantastic. A lovely, comfortable, and welcoming restaurant. All the staff were attentive, very friendly, and helpful. Our food was very delicious, we had mushrooms & duck liver pate as starters, we then had the chicken stuffed with brie and chirizo along with sweet potato fries. Both dishes were freshly cooked, and very tasty. We had a fabulous meal, for a very good price. Will definitely return.

Has had a massive revamp since the new owners took over, visited for Sunday carvery, was plenty of meat given and a good selection of veg, my only personal negative was the lack of mashed potato but instead boiled ones but that's just me. Staff were very helpful and the ser ice was spot on. the dinner had plenty of flavour meats were lovely and all the veg I tried. the bar area has been opened for access into the lounge and the carpark has been extended.

Friendly staff, good food and dog friendly.

Place was spotless, very calm and quiet atmosphere and the food was amazing all boiling hot and homemade 😍 even provided dog treats and a water bowl, will deffo be returning, thank you!

No food on this occasion, just a drink after our walk. Very nice pint of Abbot ale.

Totally excellent Staff and service and food

A wonderful experience. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. I had to congratulate the chef.

Closest thing to home cooking. Stunning delicious food, couldn't fault anything. So much variety, beautifully cooked. Staff really friendly and helpful, great environment.

Visited here with friends for a meal, the service was lovely & waiters very friendly. Many of us had the brie for starters which we really enjoyed and some had nachos which they also said were great. For main I had the capper cod, which did not have much flavour to it. Others had lasagna which they said was tasty.

Lovely Sunday lunch and friendly staff

The 1,2 or 3 course menu has a variety of options on the menu and the portions, the food are excellent value for money. There is a welcoming atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. Though could not sit out there today there was a lovely size beer garden, would highly recommend visiting will certainly be going there again.

Beautiful birthday meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious and a varied menu. Definitely return soon 😄

Really tasty carvery, selection of meats, excellent accompaniments and terrific parsnips. Fast, friendly service and good prices. Recommended!

A great place for a family meal. Good food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Decent size car park at the rear too.

Visited the Old Glais Inn tonight for an early dinner. From start to finish it was an absolute delight. A lovely, comfortable, welcoming restaurant. All staff were attentive, very friendly, and helpful. Our food was simply delicious, we had garlic mushrooms & duck liver pate as starters, we then had the chicken stuffed with brie and chirizo & hunters chicken along with the best sweet potato fries. Both courses were freshly cooked, and as already said delicious. Only one very small disappointment was I couldn't have the chefs welsh starter as it was unavailable, however I know I will definitely return and shall order it then, however what we had more than made up for it. Overall a fabulous meal, very good price, made all the better by the attentive staff. Will definately be returning, thank you all so much. Mags

We visited last Saturday with friends and I must say, we all had a great experience! The staff were really pleasant and our meals were outstanding. I must mention the chips, which were homemade and gorgeous! It’s a lovely venue to have a meal and/or drinks. There’s also a very nice beer garden outside. We’ll definitely be returning!

Delicious food, starter: (fried prawns and mushrooms in cream sauce) and main course: chicken and steak. Excellent, nice service and we could look into the kitchen, very hygienic!

Haven’t been to the Old Glais for a few years, heard new management so thought we’d pay a visit. Warm welcome from front of house and seated promptly in a comfortable and well presented dining area. Attentive knowledgeable staff took drinks and food order. Food was exceptional- all home made and cooked fresh. Will definitely be back - one to recommend highly.

Booked a Meal for Family of 5, Very welcoming staff and a Beautiful Restaurant We had Starters Whitebait and Breaded Mushrooms which came well presented with a lovely side salad For Mains I had 20oz Steak which was cooked to perfection and the chips were also amazing My son had the smaller steak and as he doesn't like chips we requested mixed Vegetables which again was amazing, Others had Scampi and our daughter had chicken nuggets We all left saying how nice the meal was and I'd say the Best steak I've had in years, This will be a regular place to visit for us within 15 minutes to where we live Well Done to All the Staff can't wait to call again

Went as a couple and had whitebait and pare starters, both lovely. Salmon and chicken burger mains. Slight error with the burger but sorted quickly and food tasted good. Not sure if our young server was new to the job but had several queries about what we ordered so confidence in what we would get was questionable. Food was great.

Village pub good atmosphere very nice food 👌

Friendly, great food , plenty of room, very nice atmosphere, been on week days and Sunday

Where as our Kath an cooks gone?? Gone from a stunning carvery to the worst ive ever tasted an ive had many of different carverys!

Called for meal on the way home from shopping tonight. Beautiful food, and a warm welcome. Will definately be back.

Pub food at restaurant prices.

Lovely place. Staff were very welcoming, and so helpful. Went for a carvery lunch with friends, and the food was delicious! So many carveries get it wrong, with the meat left under the heaters and so dry, but not at The Old Glais! Meat was so tender, excellent choice of vegetables, absolutely perfect. I would be glad to visit again, and I thoroughly recommend a visit if you're nearby, too!

Nice dinner, tasty, good choice of vegetables with an average serving of meats but a choice of 3 and nicely cooked.

Food was lovely and really quick service

Food nice. Parking convenient. Service excellent. Place is comfortable & nicely decorated. Disappointed that we were told that they close at 9.30. It was an old staff reunion & time flew & came to very abruptly end!

Place was lovely inside. Waiters were polite and friendly. Food was average which was disappointing for the price bracket. My friend had a Stilton burger which for some unknown reason was spicy, when we complained we had the landlady/manager come over and basically call her a liar, refusing to take it off the bill or make another one as her “chef of 30 years” had left, the kitchen was closed and the chef had assured her nothing spicy was on the burger. After theatrics of making one of her staff eat the burger to prove it wasn’t spicy she then removed it off the bill. Very weird experience. They even kept up the act when we were leaving having the waitress say she was full….very bizarre. It’s a local pub so very disappointed and won’t be returning.

Sunday carvery. Food was brill.

Lovely fillet steak, decent lasagne, ok ribs, worst T-bone I've ever had, had to go back, opted for the steak pie as replacement and pastry was soggy, as if microwaved, starters OK, bog standard dessert menu, disappointed after so many good reviews. will probably try again as prev meal was good there,. evone has a bad night in the kitchen and the t-bone was just such poor quality I think gordon Ramsey would struggle to make it edible. Staff lovely, zero atmosphere as restaurant extension area emptied just after we sat down(8pm) so we were only ones there,not a lot you can do about that I spose.

Fabulous Sunday lunch well worth a visit

Always looking for a nice Carvery! Boy have we found it! Absolutely delicious carvery all home cooked and fresh, three meats and plenty of vegetables. Super friendly and helpful staff especially with our disabled friends. Recommended but book on a Sunday!! Parking available at the rear and side of the pub. Carvery was £14.95 each and desserts £5 We will definitely be back!!! Thank you 💕

First time been there won't be the last great food and service

Great food very good service staff are excellent but one thing crusty rolls don't do them very much needed for gravy to moP up

Lovely decor nice food friendly staff

Just visited the The Glais Inn for the first time with friends for an early 60th birthday meal, had a fabulous time. The inn itself is very welcoming and comfortable, the staff were lovely, friendly, and chatty, the food was simply delicious. All four of us had something different and each plate was given high praise, we had mains and pudding. Will definitely return, and will be recommending you to all our friends. Great atmosphere and plenty of parking on site. Thank you to all involved for the lovely time we had with you.

Food excellent staff members helpful and polite certainly well worth a visit 👍

First time for us here the place, food, and staff were fantastic will definitely go back.

The food was excellent the fillet steak was the best I've ever had service was fantastic can't fault it definitely be going back

After booking a meal for 11 people. Arrived to a fantastic welcome. Sat down to drinks being served straight away. Starters and main course turned up with more drinks. Deserted delivered. All drinks spot on and food 100 % right and tasted fantastic. I would recommend The Old Glais Inn anytime. Thank you staff for a lovely night

Piping hot food coming out of the kitchen, each dish was of a high standard. Not overly seasoned which was good to see. Very efficient service.

Had a Christmas carvery which was excellent service was very good considering how busy it was. Will certainly go back to try the normal menu.

Went with wife and two kids was a rude on arrival with seating was told could only order off basic lunch menu, so ok wife and daughter had cavery was bland watery gravey and veg tasted old, I had the curry, please don’t order this was awful, rice like bullets rubbery chicken with weird taste and chips half cooked I let them know I weren’t eating it and didn’t want anything else but they still tried charging until I said I ain’t paying for it won’t be going again, don’t look like they can cope with the place very disappointed

Had an amazing carvery at the old glais today !! The beef was so succulent it melted in my mouth , and the roasties were divine . Cath the manager was so lovely and welcoming , we will definitely be back soon

Sunday dinner 🍽 very nice and plentiful

A great Sunday lunch for a double birthday celebration. Food served hot and delicious

Very nice the quality of the food was excellent , the staff were very friendly and helpful

Went for a meal on a Saturday afternoon. Service was great, atmosphere lovely and the food was top class. Will definitely be coming back very soon.

Food was excellent and hot plenty of it and good price

First time and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal of which we both had steak and chips and a few drinks very reasonable prices

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was spot on! I cannot wait to go back. The Welsh starter was phenomenal, the ribs were fantastic, I would recommend these wholeheartedly!

Excellent food,plenty of it ,really tasty couldn't fault any of it.Service was good well worth every penny and it wasn't expensive.

Very fast and the best grill we have had for long time we will definitely b back with friends

Excellent food and service. Went with a friend who was equally impressed. It's great to have a good inn within a 10 minute drive and great to see it well supported. You leave with a full stomach , a smile on your face and still money in your pocket 👌

3 of us had the carvery and it absolutely delicious top class

The Best Sunday Carvery I have tasted for such a long time,Food stunning the Gravy was so special the veg was mashed to perfection loverly and smooth the Meat was STUNNING well done all of you and not let forget the Roasties ABSOLUTELY STUNNING thank you for a loverly meal we will be back

Lovely proper pub with proper food. Great welcome and excellent service. Really enjoyed.

Visited with my elderly mum and daughter. We both had weely carvery and mum wanted a childs portion was told abruptly. Cant give childs portion to adult. And then goes and takes order for childs portion of svampi and chips for mum. Doent maje sense.

So happy my local in Glais has now reopened. Stunning renovation and the food and service was exceptional. We were sat in the extension and we were able to see our food being cooked which was wonderful. Thank you to all the chefs, staff and Cath. Definitely be back in a few weeks

Nice to have our local back Cath is great and nice food see you soon!

Sunday lunch visit. We both had the roast beef and although it was a little overcooked for my pallet it was still moist and tasted good and a decent amount for a hungry man. Their was plenty of veg to please us both and an enormous cauliflower cheese that we couldn't finnish. The waitress was friendly and efficient and asked if everything was ok and did we want more gravy etc. The lunch was good value and we would be happy to return

The service was good and friendly. A very big good steak. Reasonable price too.

Lovely food nice to see it open again and local people supporting it 👍

First time there but what a nice relaxing place going to make it our Friday night regular I think

Stunning sunday dinner beautiful place just fir a drink

Lovely Sunday lunch. A choice of beef, turkey, gammon and pork- a stunning meal. Very pleasant staff and venue

Amazing food,staff were very friendly and efficient definitely will be visiting again,highly recommend

Ordered food I had bbq chicken and chips I went too it and found a long hair they tried too tell me it was a piece of cheese but it was not it was a long hair but I have short. They didn't even apologise they asked if I want some thing else so I mash and parsley sauce and the ham was like eating fat I was heaving trying too eat it the mash was bland and I also ordered garlic bread which was cold first and last I will visit it will not reccomend going there again

We stopped in for Sunday lunch and it was really tasty. You get a selection of different meats and the vegetables were well seasoned. It's particularly good for vegetarian options - my partner was given a lot of choice and a lot of thought had clearly gone into making sure there were good and varied options. The service is a bit slow but on the whole it's a good place to eat.

Lovely. Had lunchtime special. 2 meals for £15. Great. Definitely returning to try the main menu very soon. Decor modern. Staff so polite and nothing too much trouble.

First time for meal there, they had gammom egg and chips as a specia, huge portions all served hot with hand cut chips. Would recommend a meal there.

Just visited here with my wife for a spur of the moment meal and we were both delighted with the quality, presentation and service we received, large portions and super quality food reasonably priced.

First time visit here wont be the last food was excellent, would definitely recommend the belly pork

Bar person needs a few lesson's in cocktail making & mixing. Food was good, did have an issue with ours, missing brisket. But all resolved. Clearing plates & glasses could have been a bit quicker . But overall, I'd recommend.
