The Brunswick Arms in Swansea

Sunday Lunch Went here yesterday for Sunday Lunch with friends that were visiting Swansea from further afield. Asked for a seat change which was no trouble whatsoever for the bar staff. We fancied sitting near the window. The bar staff comprised of three young university students who were extremely efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent service. The Sunday Lunch came out very quickly after putting the orders in and when they arrived, it was a ‘Wow!’ Whoever is the chef there , they are a talented chef. The way the food was placed on the plate was very attractive, the quality of the veg on the plate and extra plates that came out with veg were very nicely cooked and arranged lovely. There was cauliflower and broccoli with cheese on an extra plate that came which was delicious too. Ample gravy and extra condiments were given out quickly when asked. Very rare to find a wonderful Sunday Lunch which such brilliant service. Well done to the chef and bar staff there. We will be returning.

Precioso y acogedor! Comida exuberante, recomiendo encarecidamente el pastel de la semana! El gerente era encantador y acogedor. Sin duda recomendaría.

Los asados de domingo eran agradables, pero un poco lentos saliendo de la cocina a pesar de que no estaban tan ocupados y podría haber sido un poco más caliente. La porción de niños era buena.

El mejor pub de Swansea. Es acogedor y la mejor pinta de cerveza. Ambiente encantador y personal amable. ¡Mi lugar favorito! Sophie

Buen ambiente y comida increíble! ¡Muy feliz de tener un gran local! He frecuentado este pub durante más de 10 años y siempre disfruté de la sensación del lugar. Debo admitir que me preocupé cuando me enteré de la nueva dirección, pero los nuevos chicos han traído algo de comida deliciosa, buena música y ahora llevan perros para que toda la familia pueda disfrutar. Manténganse al día con los buenos chicos del trabajo 👍

Good value for money Sunday lunch was nice...beef a bit too well done for us...but would definitely go again ..

Lovely Sunday roast, best in Swansea, definitely be going vack

Had a fab time at the Brunswick Arms, lovely food and excellent service. Will definitely be going back .

Vine aquí con amigos para almorzar durante la semana para probar el nuevo menú. El personal del bar le dio una cálida bienvenida. Pedí un Heineken y mi amigo tomó un vino de rosa. Los menús se establecieron en la tabla que puso en marcha las papilas gustativas. Así que decidí pedir comida. Tenía la salchicha y el puré y mi amigo tenía la hamburguesa. Absolutamente impresionante comida y hermosa presentación. Deffo volverá pronto para probar la cena del domingo.

Primera visita al Brunswick y el ambiente estaba en su punto. Encantadora bienvenida cálida del equipo. Un montón de asientos extravagantes, así que un montón de espacio para agarrar una mesa y disfrutar de sus verdaderas opciones de cerveza y comida casera. Tuve la lasaña, que era casera, sabrosa y bien vale la pena probar. Es un pub antiguo pero tiene un toque fresco. Nos encantó nuestra visita y sin duda volveremos. .

Hemos almorzado el domingo aquí durante casi 20 años y estábamos tristes cuando el propietario Alan se fue después de Navidad. Sin embargo, ahora hemos hecho dos visitas con la nueva dirección bajo Paul y encontramos la comida excelente carne de primera clase 6 verduras frescas encantadores budines de Yorkshire y relleno casero. Me gustó mucho el almuerzo del domingo y volveré a visitar pronto. Mención especial al amable servicio profesional de los servidores jóvenes.

Came here for food with the mrs and her lil brother, it was amazing and reasonably priced, the lil one devoured his chicken goujons and as did we with her lasagne and my burger. Fantastic beer and service

Amazing food, cosy little proper pub with live music and fantastic service! Can't fault it!

First timer. Love this pub. Will be back.

Food amazing great atmosphere!!! Live music is amazing as well

Great pub! Best in Swansea for sure.

Great local pub. Fantastic service and great atmosphere!

Great venue that I have loved since I was younger and the staff are lovely

This is one of our favourite pubs in Swansea. Lovely atmosphere and great drinks. Very friendly new owners.

Under new management and as excellent as I remember; best old school pub in Swansea.

Brunswick is changing hands, new owners soon (Feb 5th!) let's see what they can do for the place, one of Swansea's best pubs, could it get much better? Exciting times.

My favourite local pub. Wish there were more places like this tucked away with a nice cosy atmosphere. Thanks

Me encanta este pub, tratar de visitar cada vez que estoy de vuelta en la zona para una pinta o dos, pastel, cuñas y guisantes y salsa! Bienvenida amable, ambiente cálido y relajado, excelente, comida a un precio muy razonable, especialmente los pasteles!

My favourite pub, top of my list when back in the area staying with my brother near Sketty. Friendly staff, good beer, welcoming & chilled atmosphere, excellent & reasonably priced food, especially the pies which are as good as I've had anywhere, trouble is they've set the standard and I'm usually disappointed when I have a pie anywhere else!

My favourite pub in Swansea. Always lovely, friendly staff, serving well looked after beers. I didn't eat there but the food always looks delicious. This is one of the last remaining proper pubs in town. Use it as much as you can so that it says with us for as long as possible...

First time I’ve been here, I’ll certainly be going again. Food is absolutely lovely, staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is very cosy, highly recommend this warm and tranquil pub.

Friendly with a warm atmosphere.

We went midweek for the roast special and booked a table. There was none left by the time we got there so was left to choos e from a very basic pub menu. Our reserved table was not laid so we had to ask for cutlery and only one of our drinks arrived which meant another trip to the bar. All in all a bit of a waste of time making a reservation for what should have been a nice evening out with my partner.

Apareció al pasar el viernes por la noche. No he estado antes, pero quería una pinta rápida. Buena selección de cerveza. Fui por un Guinness. Muy bien. Servicio amable. Pub tenía un buen ambiente también. Un pub apropiado.

Enjoyed a lunch with friends. Food and ale all good.

Absolutely gorgeous dinner, staff were very friendly and polite. Excellent service at the table, food was delicious and hot. Will definitely be back.

Visited several years after I last came here. New decor, new owners. Good beer and nice atmosphere earlier in the evening. Did get a little nosey and some of the crowd a little boisterous later on, but with cheap beer and friendly owners it is a lovely place for a pint or two

Great selection of beers, including non alcoholic. Friendly atmosphere. Not tried food

Planeado ir aquí para la cena, ya que la comida siempre era bastante buena comida casera del pub. Apareció a eso de las 7. 10 pm el jueves 22 / 8 / 24. Empecé a mirar el menú y me dijeron por barman joven cocina está cerrada y último cliente fue atendido hace 5 minutos. Antes de salir revisé dos veces el menú escrito y decía que el servicio de cena termina a las 7. 30 pm. Le destaqué esto al camarero que acaba de decir “oh perdón”. Nos preguntamos cómo nos iría ya que habíamos estado allí unas semanas antes (el día era excepcionalmente tranquilo) solo unos 3 de nosotros allí. Cerraron la cocina una hora antes ese día. Algunos clientes aparecieron unos 15 minutos después de haber cerrado y fueron rechazados. A diferencia de anoche en aquella ocasión fue el casero y la casera los que cerraron la cocina. Mi socio y yo tenemos experiencia en hospitalidad (la pista está en la palabra “hospitalidad”) no podemos creer que un negocio rechazaría el comercio durante una crisis del costo de vida o en cualquier momento. ¡No es una forma modelo de operar un negocio local y estoy seguro de que es un problema de descripción comercial que anuncia una cosa y hace otra! Quizá sea algo que valga la pena investigar. Mientras tanto, una advertencia a los futuros clientes de este establecimiento no es confiable y la atención y el servicio al cliente parece baja en su lista de prioridades!

Great Sunday lunch,staff great too.

Basic pub, food very average. Staff pleasant.

Seems to have gone very expensive and appears the landlady has changed and not for the better. Staff don't seem to care anymore , shame really

Banging little pub, proper proper. Nice ambiance, good beer, 11/10 would booze again. I hear the foods banging too, I haven't tried it yet, but there's always the next visit. Their pub quiz on Monday is solid!

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday dinner, staff are very friendly and polite. Waitress service at the table, food was delicious and hot. Will definitely be back soon

Proper pub with lovely atmosphere, good pub grub and choice of beers.

Well what can I say, 3 of us had the steak and it was perfect melt in the mouth, could not fault them, but the chilli burger was very disappointing, over cooked and hard (partner would not take it back) but the cheesy garlic bread was sooooo delish as was the onion rings. Yes I would definitely go again, but avoid the burger. On another good note, staff were very friendly and welcoming

Ordered x6 takeaway Sunday Lunches.As a treat for early Mother's day .Fabulous food, huge portions absolutely gorgeous!! Best Sunday lunch we've had.Thank you ever so much , will order again😀😀

A really nice traditional local pub. It is exactly what you would expect of a pub that's been going for so long. Sadly reflecting current economic situations, it doesn't stay open as long as it used to, and it stops serving food quite early at 7pm ish. But the food is nice if you're looking for an early dinner. Plus, it always has a local beer and nice selection of wines and spirits.

Nice quiet city pub - good selection of beers, quiet enough to talk, good atmosphere.

Really nice old fashioned pub. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. It can be fairly busy, even though I was there at midday on a tuesday, so it is popular! I had a pint of Guinness and ordered a prawn baguette with chips. The Guinness was okay- it had potential but it was apparent the glass was dirty if you notice the bubbling and lack of creamy stick of the pint, it left much to be desired unfortunately. The baguette was really nice, very good quality prawns, and really tasty chips. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! I will definitely be coming back again as it was a cheap visit and great service.

Family Sunday Lunch of 14 booked table for 2 pm food ,served really quickly lovely Sunday lunch. Staff very helpful 2 small children accommodated in party.

We called for lunch having enjoyed good home cooked food in the pub previously. Sadly the food was really disappointing, but no longer the home cooked ham oe chilli. We were served bog standard mass produced fare. What a shame!

Been coming tobthe Brunswick for years. One of Swansea's hidden gems! Lovely cosy atmosphere, good place to chill out and sip on a pint. Food and drink is always good quality at decent prices as well. Keep it going folks!

Best Fish and Chips I have ever tasted.Great service lovely welcoming staff and warm atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend!!

We had a lovely Sunday Lunch here today . Excellent Service with a smile and portions generous. Real ale good too !

1st time visiting in a very long time, lovely food and pleasant staff, will be visiting again.

Always have a great meal here.. very chilled atmosphere during the day!

Great beer on cask and on draught served here. Can recommend the steak or chicken fajitas! Nice and cosy with a nice bunch of locals. Lovely service always.

Seen better days, but what great pubs haven’t. The food is spot on. Had a chilli burger and they had the best chips and home made chilli.

Good food nice pint great service thanks

Excellent traditional pub. Extremely well run, pleasant atmosphere and very good food, all served by pleasant and efficient staff..

Traditional pub with excellent atmosphere, and staff. Very good traditional pub food, well cooked and served.

Fantastic selection ofhome made food, friendly casual environment, good old fashioned pub where you can hear yourself think. excellent staff. Very good selection of drinks and real ales on the back bar.

Food was pretty good and favourable sized portions and quality. Would return in the future.

Just back from a delicious Sunday lunch at this traditional pub. Lovely tender meat ( and ample portions) and home cooked veg and gravy. Recommend

Fabulous again! We tried another last week, one near to where The Brunswick is.. not a patch! This place has the best Sunday lunch with very attentive staff. We both ate every bit! 😊👌

Went for Sunday lunch it's was excellent, real homemade proper Sunday roast and the gravy was amazing, definitely be going again, reasonably priced too. Staff were very friendly

The Sunday lunch was excellent plus the staff were very friendly. Definitely be going back for more of that delicious roast beef

Fabulous Sunday lunch! I had turkey and my partner had the beef, the lamb was not available. We ate every bit! An absolute joy to dine at. The staff are attentive and very polite. This has now become my favourite place to eat a Gravy dinner! 👍🏻 Just to say... The toilets were immaculate. So clean.

Absolutely stunning Sunday dinner! Made my whole week 😋 Excellent friendly staff, A great atmosphere good old fashion pub with great food.

Visited this pub after finding it when playing Geoguessr! The pub is good, the drinks are nice. The atmosphere here wasn't really up to my liking though.

Good ole pub. Brilliant selection of booze and pub grub.

Great traditional pub with warm friendly staff and a great Sunday roast. Ditch the useless chain pubs and support a local business like this little gem.

Good pub with good somfortable bars and seating. Its not a student pub and not a sports viewing venue either. Prices a bit higher than some pubs around here, but it's great to have choices.

Very quiet pub ..mainly locals and students.

Nice cozy pub, like being on a ship!!

OMG! Where do I start. We had drinks here before we went for our Chinese and everything was fine. After our meal we thought we'd go there for a nightcap. OMG I have never met such terrible customer service. She asked us to finish our drinks then stood over us whilst doing this even tho there were lots of other people in the pub. She was soo confrontational and said I'll tell you when you can leave my pub!!! Never ever been treated like this in any place I've ever been. Terrible customer service!!!!!!!

A place that I hadn't been to in 50 yrs and enjoyed talking to the old timers there TV

We had food here today and the food was outstanding. As a past chef myself the food was extremely good...

We had dinners on a Sunday we had starters we chose soups of the day another guest had prawn cocktail and other had mushrooms. Then we all had dinners and afters. The veg was the biggest let down cabbage greens was not cooked enough. The staff were so lovely and had a warm welcome. The lady serving us was lovely and friendly. We will come back in the week to try the other menu. It's a really lovely pub.

Very friendly pub, great service!

Well kept ales and good value food.

We had an early evening meal at this gem of a backstreet pub. Yes the decco is dated however it adds to the atmosphere of what is a traditional British pub. Staff were friendly and welcoming We had the house chicken curry and the chicken fajitas. Both were piping hot and delicious. The Butcombe bitter was also very good Recommend

Wonderful pub!! The fish and chips are excellent! My party ordered me a Guinness as well. So great combination! The waitress was great and service was top notch!!

The food was amazing and much better compared to normal chain pub food (especially the chips and smothered chicken!). It is a quiet pub, with a friendly atmosphere The staff is friendly and the service is brilliant.

Great pub with some nice real ales

We were here for the first time eating Sunday dinner. I had beef, my partner had the lamb. The food was fabulous! Plenty to eat and the gravy was so good. I had the crumble and custard for pudding. It was lovely, and so much! My partner finished it off as I was so full.. 👍🏻 The waitress service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. The older gentleman, who I think runs it, was very professional and made us feel very welcome. We will return for Sunday lunch again, it was that good! 😋

Really good food and friendly staff. We were a large group booking, nothing was too much trouble

Lovely evening ! Food excellent - I had the chilli which was so tasty! The others in the party also said their food was great . We have been before and will visit again . Real ales good too as always !

real pub, great food, lovely staff

An enjoyable pint of Guinness and a great plate of grub. Warm and welcoming staff. I got the wanna come back buzz. And I shall!

Recently moved to Swansea and heard good things about this pub. Was excited to visit but unfortunately my dog wasn't welcome (no dogs allowed). This is the first time I've personally experienced a 'no dogs' rule in a pub and although the place was lovely inside I sadly won't be back.

Another dog friendly pub, nice food

Good food good, good beer, good atmosphere. Typical old style pub

Just enjoyed a lovely steak and chips, looking forward to my next visit 😊

Cracker, lovely pint of Butty Bach.

Delicious home-cooked food: regular dishes and specials. The pies are great, and the potato wedges second to none!

Very traditional and welcoming place. Wonderful staff who go above and beyond to service you. Lovely atmosphere and good food and decent prices. Jacket potatoes are lovely and fluffy, well cooked. Would recommend.

Good homemade food and friendly staff

Lovely staff,good food and real ale.

Lovely pie and pint with friends in a cozy corner of the pub. Great atmosphere.

We have used this pub before and had a good experience so as we were in Swansea thought we would repeat the experience. We were not disappointed. First we are real ale fans, cask beer and traditional, so we knew that there would be good...

Excellent Christmas lunch. Best nut roast ever, such good pastry and layer of spinach made all the difference. will return.

One of the best pubs in Swansea. Traditional excellent beer and food.

Lovely place, ended up buying some fancy pint glasses of them.
