Tafarn-y-Trap in Swansea

Our first time here and the food was lovely, and there was lots to choose from. The staff are friendly and nothing was too much for them. Great service, we really enjoyed and would definitely recommend .

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good tasting beer. Can't ask for much more! Really enjoyed my visit and highly recommend.

Great little pub with fantastic choice of spirits and amazing bottle offers Had food with friends Great meal with good portion sizes Highly reccomend

We held my Brothers wake today at the Trap. It was extremely busy but the staff worked very hard and kept the drinks flowing. The food was excellent with such a wide variety of hot and cold choices. Thank you all very much for your hard work. It turned a tough day into a good one. Robert Piper

fabulous and reasonably priced at a time when other places prices are spiralling. Tasty, hot and a good portion. Staff are friendly and helpful. good menu selection - worth a visit, we thoroughly enjoyed.

Was looking for some decent pub grub, that was reasonably priced, and Tafarn y Trap didn't disappoint. All three of us chose different meals, and all three plates were both hearty, and delicious .With a very good range of ice creams, and desserts on offer for those with a sweet tooth. Staff were welcoming and attentive,with a genuine aim to please. ( Such a refreshing change ) The pub decor could probably benefit from a refresh, but don't let that put you off, the tables and eating areas were clean, and well presented and that was the main concern for us. We would certainly return without hesitation. Genuinely enjoyed 😉

Visited for a friends party, excellent bar, staff are friendly and everything is well priced, if your I. The area I recommend a visit.

My brother in law and family were staying with us and they wanted to eat out. I suggested we visit the Tafarn Y Trap. We frequently eat at the Tafarn. As usual, the food was hot and truly delicious. The waitress was lovely, really chatty, patient and friendly. The bar staff were helpful, polite and friendly. The price we paid was very reasonable for what we had. Did we have any complaints - none whatsoever. Will we be eating again at the Tafarn - too right. My brother in law could not stop raving about his dining experience, he and his family loved it. If you get the chance, give the Tafarn a try, I promise you you won't be disappointed.

First time eating here & food was very nice & good portions ! Very lovely lady served us… I had garlic baguette & lasagne with chips & other half had big mixed grill it was very nice fair play

Food lovely and hot the drinks were fresh and cold all staff were friendly the beer garden was massive

Short notice reservation for 54 people, following a dance show. Stuart and his team were very accommodating and everyone enjoyed. The food was delicious with no complaints. Considering there were so many of us, they were extremely organised. Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely return.

Visited for a quick lunch and it was delicious. The staff are friendly and the service is good and the car park is a good size.. The interior is a little dated - but this doesn't detract from the food or welcome. The meals are generous, served quickly and piping hot. The chilli chicken is delicious - the prices are reasonable and they are accommodating.

The owner of a different restaurant recommend this restaurant and they did well. We really enjoy eating here. The food was hot, tasty and was classic pub grub. Okay it has a no frills kinda feel but you pay for what you get. And we good hearty food. We will be back

Called for lunch today, the Service was good and a nice pint of Guinness but the food was totally tasteless and stodgy. Shall not be calling back for food. Don't waste your money on this muck.

I am unsure how anyone could give this place a review higher than a 1 ..the service is appalling,the food frozen then microwaved,the beer flat.. the furniture stained and outdated..I would not call here again I wonder if anyone one else does.. I so wish the kingsbridge had not finished serving

Had a party of 25 all meals were piping hot tastey and freshly cooked all meals came same time staff were really friendly would certainly highly recommend this place

The pub needs some desperate TLC. The place is looking very tired which is a shame as the food is great. The beer garden could be so much better too . There’s not many beer gardens of that size around ... such a shame!

We booked a lunchtime buffet for 30 people after a funeral last week. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive staff and the buffet would have been enough for 35-40! We had a few vegetarians and one "no carbs" and this was no problem and they were well catered for. Great value for money and we were even given containers to take any leftovers back with us. Would highly recommend and are going to go there ourselves for a meal soon.

Popped into Tafarn as in Gorseinon on business and person I was meeting was delayed, so had Sausage, Egg and Chips and a Pint. Bar, restauarant area and toilets spotless, exterior well maintained as well. Lovely Pint of Smooth and meal was excellent value, 3 well cooked sausages, plenty of chips, egg done to perfection (runny not solid) and a crisp, obviously freshly made, salad. Tom the server was helpful but unobtrusive and obviously got on well with the regulars, but did not make me feel an outsider. All in all, a very pleasant visit and will definitely be going there again.

Lovely food. Excellent value for money. Friendly service. Decor is tired but don’t let that put you off

Excellent meal best yet. Service was very good the young lad was very polite and efficient. Food was better than the Pub next door. We all enjoyed our meals, cooked very well. Recommend.

We decided to try this pub as thought parking easier than trying to park in the weatherspoons. Traditional pub, decor tired and old fashioned but that didn’t bother us. I ordered fish and chips. Chips were undercooked and fish was soggy. Was a bit like canteeen food. On the plus side the young lad who took our order, delivered food, cleared the plates and took payment was extremely pleasant. Nice little pub, but I’m really sorry I will not be returning.

We have been going for there for a long time now. The food is always consistently good, Chicken Romanno is stunning, really good value for money, All the staff are brilliant, they can't do enough for you.

Just returned from having an early evening meal with my friend both meals were delicious . Served quickly and efficiently by friendly staff and at a reasonable price will definitely return soon.

Went for a meal for my daughter's birthday .lovely food and such pleasant friendly staff after our meal they (nice young waiter)came out with large piece of chocolate dessert with a candle .we were thrilled with this.also my daughter and son in law had an day lunch yesterday and said

We often forget about this little gem in Gorseinon and everyone we visit, we promise to not leave it so long next time. Great service and food was excellent value and freshly cooked.

Llamamos hoy para comer el domingo por la fuerza de las críticas de Tripadvisor y TBH nos decepcionó un poco.

Si estás buscando buena comida de pub, entonces este es el lugar. Hemos estado aquí a menudo más de 5 años y nunca tuvimos una mala comida. Normalmente me acuñaron las chuletas de cordero y mi compañero un bistec y siempre perfectamente cocinada. Una pequeña joya en Gorseinon.

Llamado para comprar comida, poco concurrida, pero el personal es muy atento y se sirve rápidamente. Elegí el solomillo, otras tenían curry y sobresaliente. Se sirvió comida caliente y no esperar mucho. Steak suculento y otros dijeron que su elección era buena también. Comida a precios razonables, así como bebidas, una noche muy agradable más tiempo de lo planeado.

Nice food, good value, large portions. Great pub atmosphere. Go here often with the family and am never disappointed.

Mi hija y sus dos hijos llamé a verme a las 4:00 pm. Los niños estaban hambrientos y queríamos algo para comer. Fuimos pasando y parado. El personal del bar era muy alegre y la bienvenida con un gran sentido del humor. Los niños ordenados frijoles pescado y patatas fritas y los dedos otros pescado y patatas fritas, el joven camarero sugirió cambiar el pescado a los palitos de pescado y tomar ventaja de las dos comidas por £5, nosotros lo hicimos. Una pieza preciosa de peces, gran masa fresco y una buena porción de patatas fritas de ganga. Éramos las únicas dos personas comiendo. Mi hija y yo sólo tenía una copa. . Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y sin duda llamar

Excelente comida y servicio. Había 30 personas en la fiesta y nos pidió que los niños se sirve primero. Sin ninguna molestia. Todas las comidas, preparado salió correctamente como pedí y caliente. La camarera era, nada de problemas. Excelente noche en todos los aspectos.

11 de nosotros asistimos a una comida familiar y aunque el pub estaba muy bisy ya había otros familiares de tener fiestas de cumpleaños todas nuestras comidas nos sirven juntos y todos eran delisiuse. Los camareros era como siempre muy feliz y amable y se añaden a la noche. Gracias a todos

Often visit as it's local and the food is great! The staff are welcoming and have great sense of humour. Have taken the children to watch the rugby and have food and they really enjoyed. Thanks guys!

Visited the'Trap' for meal with friends following recommendations from others and was not disappointed. Ordered the gammon steak from the 2 meals for £10 menu and it was one of the best I have had. Next time I visit I will order of the main menu which is quite extensive for the size of the pub. Must put in a good word for Tho mm as our waiter,very polite and courteous.

Visited for the first time last Saturday after recommendations from family. Staff were welcoming and very accommodating to all our requests. Nothing was a problem for them and they were all very pleasant. Food came quickly considering we were a party of 9 and it was well presented, hot and very tasty. I consider it to be great value for money and look forward to going there again soon. It's well worth a visit.

Went here for Sunday lunch with my family. 3 choices of meat and we were allowed to mix meats as well which most places won't do. Plenty of veg and gravy and more was provided if wanted. Nice size portions and perfectly cooked. Staff were polite, friendly and professional. Walk in tables available but recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Will definitely eat here again.

Very good meal - well cooked hot and reasonably priced. Great portion size and selection has recently changed - so a really good Menu.

Visited during a weekday evening. The pub was not that busy. The fiood was very good and value for money and the service from the waitress and barman was very welcoming and respectful.

Went there for food with my friends after a hard day shopping, had chilli beef nachos to start that were amazing and could of shared as the portion was big enough for 2, then had home made lamb and mint pie was full of tender lamb with a puff pastry definitely recommend

A Large girl with dark hair served me, didnt quite catch her name but she was very impatient and rude towards me and my fiancee. She let you down shouldnt be working for such a nice business. The young man was very nice!

I arranged a buffet for my fathers' birthday. There was a good selection of freshly made sandwiches that catered for all tastes. It also included quiche, pizza, pork pies, a variety of crisps. We were a fairly small party but there was plenty of food to go around. The staff were all friendly and nothing was too much trouble. All the guests went home happy with their experience here.

Decided to go to Tafarn y Trap for a birthday meal as the children can play outside safely. We all had a fabulous meal there where 7 in our party with 3 vegetarians and all were catered for with a very good choice on the menu and excellent value for money . The staff were helpful and very friendly even though they were very busy with nearly every taken. I'm glad we had booked.

I go here time and time again. Why? Because it's fresh food, great staff and a nice local pub. For the price you pay you have a massive amount of food that tastes nice. I personally love the nachos for starter and lasagne for main. I have tried most of the menu though considering I have been going for years. I do think a little refurbishment would do the pub well but it doesn't affect the food. For those who have children, there is a park at the pub which keeps the children entertained.

Went for late tea with the family , food was great . Typical pub food , fresh , clean chips lovely ham.. Prices really reasonable and great portions. The only thing is the place is looking really tired, damp is quite bad in places , dont look up! Lol . Give the place a makeover and it would be excellent .

We haven't been here for over a year, but as the food was normally excellent and reasonable, we decided to call in for lunch, on sitting down, we couldn't believe how run down the establishment has gone, arms were falling off the chairs, severe damp issues and the food was terrible, nothing like before, we were very dissappointed.

The food here reminded me of school dinners will not be back. Had to find our own table not nice at all very drab

Called in with my wife for an afternoon lunch. Excellent service we both had gammon chips/ sauté the potions were generous and the food was very good. If there was one minor moan is that the garlic bread wasn't the best. 8/10

Called in for some dinner glad I did best chilli in town been here many times before friendly welcome as always tried most things on the menu everything good would recommend it to anyone reasonbly priced amazing food

Had a lovely meal with 3 friends and was impressed with the quality .2 of us had the Chicken Romano the sauce was to die for .Good value fer money

I visit here about 2/3 times a month for food with the family. The food is very good. Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry or steak are my main choices when I go. However there is a wide range menu and never had a bad meal here in years of visiting.

We went for an 'early tea' - it was lovely. Piping hot - rapidly served and a good portion - very reasonably prIced. A pleasant atmosphere and lovely staff - we will return. Thanks

We booked for Xmas lunch here, 7 people in all. The menu had been pre selected by us a couple of weeks before. The tables were very festive, Xmas songs in he background, so you could chat and hear each other. Food was excellent, loved every course. The atmosphere was really lovely. A lovely Xmas day spent with family. Will definetly do it again.

Plenty of parking, clean, welcoming, vast menu, good prices, friendly helpful staff, good food and service. A great pub serving nice pub grub, no frills or fancies, big portions, for the money you cant go wrong - my only criticism is the lack of banded condiments. Great for families, groups, couples etc

What a find ,the best steak ever ,large statement ,I suggest you try this unusuming pub that serves the best food around ,the mixed grill came with a comment from the waitress best of luck ,superb

Reasonably priced, good selection, beautiful food, excellent service, cheerful happy surroundings and service good quality,family orientated.

Great home cooked grub!! Bar staff excellent all round great place for food or drinks.and live bands once a month so socially a very welcoming place.

Visited here last week with a few friends. Hadn't been here for a few years following a bad experience but will definitely be visiting again but I didn't need to worry this time. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. I will definitely be coming back here.

Went for my boys18th tonight and the food was amazing and not scared of bill lol. The waitress was very helpful and even gave us bowls for the birthday cake and hugs of custard awesome evening thank you

Its one of those places where you sometimes have a quiet night and enjoy and sometimes it gets very busy and you have an excellent night.

Good honest hearty food great for just having tea but I would not go there for a celebration with the whole family, Gone s but pricey to when I started going there but fair price I suppose worth a visit and will carry on going there.

This is the second time I have visited the Tafarn-y-Trap for food and was not disappointed. They had run out of my first choice but the menu had lots of alternative options. The portions were very generous and delicious. The minted lamb pie didn't skimp on the meat and there were plenty of sauté potatoes. The waitress was extremely pleasant and chatty. A main meal and dessert for one under £10. All in all, excellent choice, value, price and portion sizes. Will be visiting again.

A nice pub - very popular. It was pretty much full when we got there. The 10 of us all enjoyed our different meals which all had huge portions and were well cooked. We had a reasonable wait for our meal but that was expected with 10 of us and a full pub. Clean facilities with a nice atmosphere for families.

Excellent dining experience! Proper food cooked properly. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and the portions are of a generous size. The price is as you'd expect for pub grub and we always get a nice clean table and nice clean cutlery. What more could you ask for? Would recommend totally. Best food in Gorseinon by a country mile! Yum!

We had two courses of very good food for under £20. Portions are generous and the service efficient and friendly. We were too full to finish main courses.

Lovely food excelent service friendly staff. Never had a bad meal. Iv tryed most things on the menue and the plaice is to die for best iv ever had.

Work in Swansea alot and always come back for the ribeye and lamb chops excellent value for money ☺ highly recommend

Lovely contemporary eating place, great food all fresh. Quiet atmosphere, and lounging area with sofas.

Called into the trap for dinner .Lovely old pub with wooden panels and features.Food was first class, service too and a very friendly atmosphere was order of the day. .

We used to go regularly to the Trap for lunch on a Saturday, many moons ago, when our children were small. We hadn't been there for many years but decided one Saturday, not so long ago, to pop in for a meal. We found it to be fantastic value for money with excellent, friendly service. We've been back several times since, evenings and weekends and have always been delighted with our meals. Really good quality food and plenty of it, the sauté potatoes are to die for. Had a steak tonight and it was perfectly cooked, exactly the way I had requested. We honestly can find no fault with this place and shall definitely be back very soon.

We have been coming here for the last 2-3 years. Always good but tonight's meal was the best by far. Wonderful staff, good service and good quality food. Keep up the good work!!

have been many times to the tafarn and have had great food we booked for a family xmas lunch at the start of December but was let down with cold food and had to wait an hour longer then what we had booked

We have been to this restaurant/pub many times before and everytime we have had a good meal at a brilliant price, would definately recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Have been to the trap many times tried most of the menu always fantastic full of flavour friendly service great atmosphere the chilli is to die for will definitely be going there again

We turned up at the Trap unannounced on a Tuesday afternoon on the way to a wedding. As the bride and groom had no plans for a reception we asked the barman if we could return there after the wedding to have a meal. He agreed wholeheartedly and so about 30 of us returned there . We couldn't have been more welcomed ,they served us immediately and the food was really lovely. A lovely day had by all . Thank you again for your hospitality Tafarn y Trap.x

Iv eaten On numerous occasions and the steak is always absolutely amazing and the Garlic mushrooms are yummy,will be back for a treat very soon:)

The food is excellent but the place needs a refurbishment or at lease a good clean and a new carpet/flooring - pity really

I visited the tafarn y trap in Gorseinon today with my wife and two young children. We ordered the Sunday lunch for myself and my son. The food arrived after about 5 minutes of ordering it and I was instantly disgusted with the quality or lack of quality of the food. It was abundantly clear that all the food had been re-heated in a microwave and having watched a number if episodes of Ramseys kitchen nightmares, we decided not to eat the food. The vegetables were discoloured, the roast potatoes were like stones and the beef was like leather. We left all of our food and paid the bill, the waitress did not even ask if everything was ok (even tough we had asked for the bill after only 5 minutes if receiving our food). We paid and left immediately. Guven our concerns we will be reporting this to the food standards agency. My advice to anyone considering going to this pub is 'avoid it like the plague'. Absolutely disgraceful!!!!

Tried this Swansea Road, Gorseinon venue for our regular lunch meeting with friends. From a varied menu with reasonable prices, thoroughly enjoyed the minted lamb chops with its accompaniments while the others also approved of their meals. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and slick service. Well worth a visit.

stopped off here after walking away from the nearby harvester which didnt have a welcoming atmosphere. Fabulous staff, lovely food and great location. very nice atmosphere and friendly welcome. will definitely call again! Thank you!

If you're travelling through, to, or live in or near Gorseinon, Wales, this is the place to have a very good meal. The food is top notch, the service excellent and the atmosphere very friendly. We were part of a 60th birthday party of about 25 people, the food was ordered and came to the tables all at the same time so we all ate together (great), nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we enjoyed our meals. If you go on the last Friday of the month, as we did, there is also a live band on to entertain and dance to. Its a long way to go from the Isle of Wight to a party but it was well worth it. Thanks to our hosts Stuart and Grant for a great night. Food and drink was reasonably priced.
