Great meal. The Penclawdd cockles, laverbread and bacon bits on bread was delicious. Butchers Faggots and Pea really tasty. Sirloin steak was amazing. Barnsley Chop was very tasty. A good bottle of wine to go with the meal. Reasonably priced. Staff friendly and service good. Worth a visit.

04/09/2024: Still value for money 15/5/23: booked a table for 2 & again didn't disapoint ๐ food & service 10/10 Popped in here with my wife & our dog to see what the food was like as this is our pick for date night this month ๐ I had cajun chicken burger & my wife had corned beef pie. OMG, the portions were huge. The handcut chips were like we wedges & everything was cooked perfectly. It was very busy when we arrived at 12.30 (no booking) so we had to wait for 30 minutes for a table, not a problem as we went shopping. Surprisingly my pint of Pepsi max was only ยฃ1.98 ๐ฒ where I'm used to paying a lot more. Very friendly staff, excellent value for money & a nice atmosphere for a lunch time. We will definitely be coming back for date night & I'm looking forward to a 20oz steak. Also will recommend to family & friends. Sorry no photos as we were starving ๐

Delicious Sunday lunch, the lamb was falling apart and the veg was lovely in the main. It was let down by really soggy garden peas - they tasted tinned and had no bite - and the parsnip was inedible which is a shame as it's a favourite of mine. The roasted potatoe was also rock hard. The gravy was lovely and rich and thick ๐ The service was ok, a bit slow and others who sat after us were seen before us. We had a corner seat tucked away, but had we had a better seat the views are beautiful towards the sea and promenade. Really good value for money and a great price for a Sunday lunch (11.99 to upgrade to Lamb - 9.99 otherwise).

Went here Saturday 29 th June 24 just called in on the off chance and fitted us in and we ordered 2 T Bone 20 oz steaks which were cooked perfectly medium for me and well done forthe wife came with chips, large mushroom, peas, salad and 2 onion rings and we ordered a garlic bread with the meal. All came the same time and were boiling hot and one of the nicest pub meals had for years. Had same steak in Miller and Carter few weeks ago and this was just as good. Staff were polite and very quick serving and meal came within 20 minutes. So all in all really good experience and will definitely be coming back. ๐๐๐thanks.

On holiday from Bury, Lancs and had a lovely birthday meal. The menu was so varied and even the vegan options looked good. The steak and ale pie was delicious, lots of steak that just melted. Our vegan had 'chicken' tikka followed by choc fudge brownies and was very impressed. Staff were really friendly and although was very busy we didn't have to wait too long. Would definitely come again. ๐

Food was "Ok" My burger was a floppy burger, steak was good, gluten free fish and chips was OK. Waited AGES for food, tables near us ordered after us but had their food before us.

This place was the perfect spot for lunch while we were visiting the area today. I am gluten free and dairy free, so it can be difficult to find food options. But, the staff at the Saltwater Inn was both knowledgeable and accommodating. There were lots of menu options that could be modified to fit my diet - which was an unexpected treat. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that I had a meal that I could enjoy. Best of all, the fish and chips were delicious.Thank you so much!

Lovely dog friendly restaurant, lovely views from the terrace and good food at very good prices. Service was ok well delivered and friendly nothing to complain about really. Could have done with a dog snack offer but not really necessary. Outside terrace is ok but of course suffers from the saltwater effect on furniture, getting to the top terrace could be challenging to less mobile. Overall well worth a visit and wish I'd tried the lamb chop that my partner had, the curry was ok but have had better. Right next to public car park.

Advertised as 'BAR and grill' ????? Don't bother if you just want a drink in the bar. Food only in the whole place!!!! Called in for a bottle of wine Friday 19th and turned away from an almost empty established. They must be making too much money if they can afford to turn away custom..... crazy !!! I've given a one star as it won't allow me zero stars. Can't comment on food as we'd already had lunch and didn't want to eat.

Although it calls itself an Inn the Saltwater Inn is not really a place where you can have a relaxing pint. I made my visit at 3pm on a wet Monday afternoon. The place was relatively empty as lunchtime was over. The lady behind the bar asked if I was going to eat. I wasn't. All I wanted was a pint. She then had to ask permission if she could serve me. I tried to pay by contactless but was told the minimum for paying by contactless was ยฃ10. I sat down then five minutes later was asked to move because the table was reserved for dog owners. I was there for 45 minutes and no-one came in to use the table. When I left l was the last person there. I can see why. Not exactly welcoming and not worth the hassle.
