The Gower Inn in Swansea

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch. Superb quality.

One star is the best I can give for yesterday’s visit. For someone in the hospitality industry the person behind the bar wasn’t very hospitable. The food was bland but expensive. A shame because the pub has bags of potential

Now under new management, very tasty Sunday lunch ! Bar now open 👍

Great time at the Gower Inn. Delicious food, wide range of beers and friendly people! We highly recommend stopping here and enjoying a tasty Sunday roast. NB: Vegan options available and definitely worth it such as the chips which were soooo good!

Can't recommend the ultimate naughty chips enought give me this over a Chinese or Indian takeaway every time.

New management, new menu, much better pub. We've just rediscovered this place. Beautiful game pie, small plates, short rib of beef ...... everything we've tasted so far has been lovely. Keep up the great work.

First time here and I am more than impressed. The food was outstanding! The amount of meat was surreal. Lionel and the team were happy to be help in anyway shape or form. I would highly recommend giving this place a try.

Lovely pub with lovely staff , We went 2 days in a row and had the vegetarian options , the bangers and mash with the veggies was really lovely , so was the veg lasagne and my partner said the veggie chilli was really good as well . We both enjoyed our dessert 🍨 , ,apple crumble which was delicious and not to sweet . Will definitely return if and when we return to the gower.

Everything about the pub is absolutely outstanding. Food is so good, cracking selection of beers, wicked atmosphere, staff are epic. Chris and Josie are amazing hosts and are very welcoming. If your passing dont hesitate to stop in, you will not be disappointed. Thank you guys for an amazing night. Looking forward to bringing the family for some grub and to see the dogs. Legends. Thanks Dan

Had food with my wife and kids. Live singing as we entered. Really good singer and beautiful food. Enjoyed by all of us. Definitely visiting again. Many thanks!!

Loved this adorable pub. The staff were really friendly and the roast was incredible. One of the best roast dinners I’ve had out. Only complaint is only the beef roast comes with the Yorkshire pudding 💔

Me and my partner visited on a Friday evening.....as we entered a member of staff greeted us with a warm smile....we got a table and I ordered Game pie and Claire had Sausages and mash....both of our meals were presented very well and had incredible taste....the meals are priced accordingly as you get what you pay for 😊 I actually made a point of thanking the landlord and saying how much we enjoyed our meals...every member of staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful.... Thank you once again from Dave and Claire

Huge car park in a woodland setting. Friendly staff and an excellent selection of local ales and other drinks. I ordered the Chefs special of ‘Hand seared pigeon breast’ for £18, which was amazing. The lamb shank shepherds pie was incredible too - excellent value. Definitely will return!

We ate here on a busy Friday night, on an overnight stay from North Wales to Plymouth. It was our last evening of eating out and we were so impressed we just had to leave a review! Our meals came quickly, it was hot and we were thrilled with the portion sizes and the quality of food (we had Sausage and Mash, and the Game Pie). The staff were attentive, clearing our plates quickly all with friendly smiles. The bar staff were equally as pleasant and we left feeling very satisfied. Thank you to the whole team for our fantastic experience!

Dog friendly as well very nice atmosphere 😊😊😊

Friday night dinner was absolutely lovely. What a treat to have pigeon breast cooked so deliciously. How refreshing to go out for food that was a biit special and not at all overpriced. Lovely atmosphere and the pup enjoyed herself too. Quite a turnaround from what it was under previous owners.

Lovley meal last minute had the sharing tomahawk steak probably enough food for 3 prepared and presented amazingly highlight would be the new potatoes amazingly crispy and flavourful 10/10 service from the staff too would recommend to all.

Lovely pub (dog friendly) with nice staff and excellent food. We shared the tomahawk steak which was amazing (and we were both stuffed by the end).

My family and I had a disgusting meal here recently. Food was barely edible and some not even edible and some returned to kitchen, some food didn't turn up. The service was very slow, over an hour to get the starters out ! When waiter cleared our plates he was eating a chip and splattered food over my son when he spoke! Totally unacceptable in all aspects

My greviance is about the parking here. My sister is terminally ill. I travelled to spend some time with her . One day out was to gower peninsula, and on our way home,a stop at gower inn. There is a parking machine installed at the inn. It was out of order. We asked the staff at the inn is it ok to park, which they replied yes . I parked and my sister also displayed her disability badge. We stayed about an hour and then left. Weeks later she received a hefty fine for parking. There is no way to contact the firm controlling parking. It’s pay or face court for further costs. It’s absolutely disgusting, I would seriously suggest avoiding this pub, though I have in the past enjoyed many a meal there before this outrageous parking system was introduced. Now my frail sister does not need the hassle to fight this and will pay the fine, but I can assure the pub, and the parking company , that unless they retract this stupid fine that I will go to local and national newspapers to expose what is going on here, a complete rip off for people wanting to rest a while at this pub . As for the owners of the inn, your business is seriously at risk, as I am not the only one raising this issue, suggest you attend to the parking obscenity.

Place was nice. Good was fine. Solid 4/5 for a pub.

I had the brownie and it was so good, it's like in the advert where it's really goey and chocolatey. it was perfect, not the quickest service but beautiful atmosphere and large car park

Since Chris has taken over here, the food and the atmosphere is absolutely incredible. It is constantly busy and we come every week for food drinks and a great time. We had our private engagement party there last night, and the food, service, and all around vibe was incredible. Lionel - you are amazing and we are so grateful for all you did for us last night. All members of staff also did an amazing job, keeping up with drink orders and bringing out food orders for 27 people! To the chef- the food was perfect, as it always in- and we are very grateful! We are so lucky to have this perfect pub on our doorstep, and we are over the moon that we can cherish these memories forever, and think of the Gower Inn 🖤

Just want to thank the whole team at the Gower Inn for a fantastic night for our daughters engagement party.. The food was excellent and the venue perfect, a special Thankyou to the whole team for making our night so enjoyable, and an extra shout out to Lionel for going above and beyond... A perfect night... Thankyou..

We were really looking forward to a nice meal, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. While the food itself was okay, we had to wait over an hour to receive our order, which was really challenging with two kids, especially a 7-month-old baby who understandably lost patience. What puzzled us was that we only ordered a burger and bangers and mash, yet it still took so long. To make matters worse, others who ordered after us received their meals within 15 to 20 minutes. It was quite frustrating and really dampened the experience. Sadly, we left feeling quite disappointed.

Lovely Birthday Meal. We came to the Gower Inn for a meal for my son’s birthday. We had been before and not had the best experience. BUT new management and change makes all the difference! We had a really lovely meal! Some of our party were vegan, some meat eaters and each and every one of us were catered for with delicious food and excellent service all round. We will definitely return!

Under new management and completely different! Delicious pub food with great specials, brilliant service

This was the worst meal I have had in ages I ordered shepherds pie which was mashed potato and not a lot more it was replaced but tbh not much better there was a party of 12 of us and we waited over an hour before receiving any food …not busy overall very poor experience won’t be back And to top it all as the waiter cleared away our plates he took a chip from the few left in the bowl and popped it in his mouth .. never seen that before

We booked a table for 12 people for a family dinner last night. We waited an hour for our starters, they forgot some of the order so got them at different times, which were awful. We had to send back a main of shepherd's pie which had no filling in it. When replaced, it was very salty. The veggie sausages were made of mashed potatoes and had no flavour, which were on a bed of mash ! which weren't eaten. The chateaubriand was not fillet steak, as should be, but a rolled and pressed sirloin cut. Everyone's food was just horrible. They get you to pay for your meal on ordering, so we felt we had no come back to refuse payment on meals that were not edible

Had the loaded chips .says it comes with pulled pork I had zero on my plate and my partner had barely a fork full

Called in on spec for a late afternoon meal. Pleasant pub with a nice menu. Service was a bit slow but we didn’t mind as the food was worth the wait & we weren’t in a rush. Food was good value for money & staff were very friendly. Would recommend.

States on their website that the kitchen closes at 9pm. Got there at 6.30pm, to be told the Kitchen closes at 7pm and sorry we can’t help you. Apparently, it’s under new management as has terrible views from the past on all platforms. Well, not a good start from the ‘New Management’. Here’s an idea change your listing on google At least to reflect your times!

Lovely pub ,tastefully furnished in beautiful surroundings.

We visited the Gower Inn whilst on holiday a few times It is a lovely pub, very friendly staff , great atmosphere and good quality food. Definitely worth a visit.

We went with kids and it took nearly an hours and 10 minutes to get our ordered items after so many reminders. Food is okayish as it’s just the normal English pub food. Service is okay but the waiting time made us go crazy! Best part is free parking and ample parking space with a beautiful atmosphere

We love the Gower Inn, it's a lovely stop after a long trek. We ain't been for over a year as the food last time was terrible, so new owners now so we gave it a try.My partner had the green Thai veg curry which she asked was it hot and she was told no she left alot of it so I tried it and it was very hot, tongue numb hot,I had the burger which was super done on the outside but pink in the middle and didn't have much taste the chips were ok but alot of them were small crunchy bits,I wouldn't be ok ordering more of the pricey items on the menu as a simple burger should be at least done right.I would so like this place to do well as it is in a perfect location.

We had lunch there, a bit expensive. However, everything it was good. The salmon's sauce is delicious .

Nice country pub, great selection of drinks hot and cold, great service, lovely and clean 😁

Pleasant lunch ruined by getting a hefty fine of £ 100 for parking on the designated gower inn car park shocking.

A superb visit to the Gower Inn this weekend! The food was superb and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Thank you so much!

Perfect very nice and excellent local beer

Waited an hour and 5 minutes burger was burnt but the muscles were nice. Nice that you can keep dogs there.

Great place, lovely food and friendly service, 😋 very good thanks

Tourist trap? First of all we were asked to move from the window table to another dark table of two because it was ‘busy’ but another couple sat in our original seat straight after and didn’t get asked to move. Food took a long time to arrive and when it did it was very bland for a high price. The sauce on the mussels was literally uncooked cream with a tiny splash of cider. Portion of chips was very small. About 7 or 8 chips. Would not go here again.

We went to the Gower Inn for a family/friend gathering .There were 13 of us and a dog and we had a wonderful time. The food was amazing and there was a wide choice to choose from - specials such as mussels, sardines, pies to sharing steaks and traditional pub food. Great atmosphere and the staff went above and beyond to look after us. Will definitely be returning soon.

Outstanding food. Service was exceptional. Really friendly staff. Dogs looked after too. Tomahawk steak was amazing.

We visited whilst on holiday in the Gower. As with many pubs in the area, the menu was quite basic pub food, but at the higher price end. Whilst the food we had was OK it certainly wasn't value for money. Service was fairly quick and we got table with no issue. Average dish is £15 and £7.50 for dessert. Children's options were £7.50, usual choice of something and chips.

First visit here with apprehension due some previous reviews. Much better than expected with great service, great atmosphere and lovely food. New management since May 2024 apparently, doing a good job to put this place back on the map. Highly recommended and we will certainly visit again.

Great pub! The bar staff were very friendly, and gave us a little beer tasting experience. The food was glorious. We went for the dirty fries and half a chicken, and it was some of the best pub food we'd had. We'll definitely go back when we're in the area again!

Our favourite pub in Gower by a long way. Since Chris and Josie took over the pub has quickly become a welcoming and cosy spot for locals and visitors alike. The menus are a combination of pub classics, exquisite specials and cater for all requirements. The small plate options are ideal for a tasty treat whilst enjoying a pint in the lush beer garden. The restaurant and Cwtch are ideal for friends and families as well as couples who want a quality meal with amazing drinks in a relaxing friendly environment. All of the staff are friendly and accommodating and both Chris and Josie love to mingle with customers new and old always insuring the best and most welcoming experience possible. Free car parking is available via the pay station just inside the front door and there is ample parking available. At the rear of the car park is a stunning woodland walk which is ideal for everyone including four legged friends who are also very welcome in the garden, pub and restaurant with treats available on the bar and water bowls throughout. Wednesday night is steak night and dine in deals are available - highly recommended!! Date of visit: July 2024

Really nice place! Staff were great, food was delicious and on a nice summer day it was exactly what was needed. Prices aren't the cheapest but aren't crazy either, especially given its location!

My wife & I are picky eaters, accustomed to high standard Mediterranean/French food. The bouillabaisse (seafood soup with a large selection of king prawns, calamari, etc) & my muscles both far exceeded our expectations, together with everything else including the host. It’s an hours drive & we will be returning soon taking our dog as dog friendly. What a lovely surprise. Best food we’ve had in the UK at surprisingly low prices for the standard. The £22 bouillabaisse was more than worth it. All in all outstanding.

Food was lovely (stopped for lunch). Service was quick even though it was busy. Lots of well behaved dogs (including our two) which made us feel really welcome with them. We will be back to try the gluten free fish and chips next! 🥰

1st time visiting in a good few years, under new ownership and can see Chris and the team are doing their best to turn this delightful pub back into a place people will want to come back to again and again.

Went here for dinner on Sunday after Swansea 70.3, excellent food and atmosphere. We would recommend the arancello spritz for something a bit different and very tasty!

Loved this place. It was warm and cozy and a perfect pit stop after a long day at the three cliffs beach. Had the fish and chips and steak and gravy. Would definitely recommend the steak.

Great food and local Ale ,staff were friendly and dog friendly 👍

Great location with all the opportunities to be a great pub however. It’s not clean, the tables were sticky and dirty. The food we ordered was not cooked fresh and was warm not heated to be hot and resented on cold plates. The table nest to us demanded refunds for three of their meals too. The garden had faded plastic ferns in the planters. In all disappointing for such a beauty spot

Great new landlord - friendly brilliant service Good food

Great place and food is delicious, definitely recommend steak night on a Wednesday

Had some great food, staff were lovely and the landlord was really helpful in getting us out of a spot of bother! Thank you :)

What a transformation since Chris became the new landlord a few weeks ago! Went last night for a few drinks with friends and then this evening for food with the family. Wonderful welcome on both occasions with a great atmosphere. The food was sensational with a good selection of seasonal specials, many ingredients locally sourced. Beautifully cooked with generous portions and at a very reasonable price. Chris, Lionel, Stef and the rest of the team have absolutely nailed it and we’re so lucky to have the Gower Inn as our ‘local’. We’re definitely going to be regulars. 👍

A nice place to have a meal and drinks. The food was above average, but the steak was a little overcooked. Dog friendly in the bar/restaurant too, which was great. They also have a beer garden for the sunny days

The manager Chris and the staff went above and beyond! I would definitely go back again!

We had the most delicious food in the Gower Inn today. Everything was so fresh and the staff were amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent place nice walk at back of car park,dog friendly food and service very good

Delicious bowl of mussels .Excellent service. Easy parking. Quiet but pleasant atmosphere . Nothing wrong. Everything right!

Nice pub, but the food didnt taste great.

Absolutely brilliant, so glad we went, really enjoyed it.

We stopped here for lunch my wife had steak and I had the gammon and I can safely say that it was one of the best pub meals that I have had and will definitely return

Fantastic, especially the Sunday selection. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, taking the time to talk.to the customers. A great pub in a lovely part of Wales. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Gower.

Love this place, and now under new management. Fantastic location, plenty of parking available, and such a warm welcome from staff on arrival. Great new menu with all dietary requirements catered for. Delicious food at great prices, and a rustic setting to boot. Can't fault it.

Great place Great meal really pleased with this place. 10/10.

Nice meal sitting in the sun! Great atmosphere!

Dropped off for a drink . Very helpful staff. Menu looks lovely , maybe next time !

Food took long and they messed up our order. Mistakes happen but upon confronting them about it there was not even the slightest care or effort to compensate for it. Disappointing as the food is actually decent.

Nice choice 9f beers. Food is reasonably priced and very nice. We'll worth a visit if on area.

Brilliant new ownership, food was wonderful. Locally sourced, they were also able to make vegan options. Definitely recommend

Stopped for food after a swim in oxwich. The staff were super friendly, and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend it.

Brilliant food and lovely atmosphere, great pub!

We had a tasty meal at this lovely pub on the Gower! Venison bourginon with green dumplings... was delicious.

Disappointed with the food. Limp lettuce and soggy croutons in Caesar salad. No avocado in burgers and one small slice of bread for Welsh rarebit.

The chap who was in charge was really great with customer services, lovely pub with lovely grub.

My partner Peter and I visited this amazing little pub this evening for a meal. We were taken aback by how lovely the food was… The staff led by Team leader Lionel could not have been warmer and the service was exceptional…. And they are so dog friendly! Sooty and Sweep loved them! Josie and Chris have just taken over this pub about 3 weeks ago and so they have walked into alot of bad reviews and are trying to turn things around by producing high class food and top service… And they are definitely succeeding… If you are in the area , we would strongly recommend that you come and eat in this great pub … You won’t be disappointed!

Lovely Sunday lunch today and very welcoming with our dog! Thank you

Lovely place set in the heart of Gower reasonably priced.

Perfect place to relax with a burger and a pint in the last of the sunshine. Delicious, well priced food and excellent service on a very busy evening. Thanks to Chris and the team for a great end to a really lovely day out.

Was a lovely atmosphere, friendly service, and the food was fantastic! The chocolate brownie was so yummy! Highly recommend a visit.

Greeted and served by the new Landlord, wish him the very best. He’s very chatty, welcoming and engaging- great front of house person, perfect Landlord. Our waitress was also so friendly, food was great. Local Pies, perfectly cooked broccoli with tasty gravy and home made mash. Super find, nice decor and should you wish a large beer garden too.

Lovely place staff are exceptional,very friendly and helpful,food top quality kids loved it. Thank you ( Jones Family warwickshire)

)Menu very good, basic pub staples plus a few slightly different takes on some items. Enjoyed our food. Staff pleasant, excellent service. So glad to see this pub under new management! Recommend.

This place was between publicans when we visited. Some options were not available. Food was pub chain type and tasted good for what we paid. Staff tried really hard to do what they could with what the had and offer a friendly welcome. This place has tremendous potential under the right leadership. Comfortable,clean with good decor

The place was lovely and welcoming even though it was changing hands at the end of the week, some items were not available due to running the stock down. But what we had was very nice.

First time there and last. First waited 20 minutes to order a drink at bar, with only one person in front of us. Ordered a Fanta and was given a magners and staff insisted that we ordered it. Tried to order a breakfast, which was on the menu, but was told they don't do them anymore as they are transitioning into a new menu.. Even though the menu out there said they had it. Then tried to order beans with our meal and was told they had no beans.... Asked 3 times how to register our car and was ignored until another staff member had to come over and tell us. Food was unimpressive, frozen chips, mayo bottle was empty. Wouldn't recommend going. Rude staff, frozen food, incorrect menu.

I ordered rump steak, it was so tough I couldn't even cut it so I had to send it back and I then ordered scampi which was much better..if you have steak on the menu it needs to be cooked properly because it's not cheap! The girl waitress very miserable and looked like it was too much effort whilst the male waiter was so friendly and couldn't do enough for us..my husband and 2 son in laws didn't enjoy their meals either ( they ordered mixed grill ) the cooking of the meat was horrendous! Children's meals were fine ..all in all very poor ..we won't be back unfortunately!

Quite handy as part of a short diversion from the coastal path. Sizable queue in the bar, although prices were reasonable for drinks and the staff member was a friendly chap. We sat outside given the nice weather and it is like sitting in a car park. No parasols or greenery. Not a very enjoyable experience, but really not many alternatives if you are walking this area.

We had a fabulous meal last Thursday. Great food, fabulous service, with really friendly staff. We are going back for lunch next weekend.

Delicious fish and chips, good price, friendly staff, great stop during a walk

Delicious Sunday roast! Great value for money, and quick service! Unlimited Yorkshire puddings we’re a bonus. Will definitely be back.

The wife and I had been for a walk down Three Cliffs and decided to go here for food. So we pulled in, paid for parking, and went in only to discover that it was bookings only. When I complained that I’d paid parking for nothing a young lad told me there was a sign in the window. I could tell it was far from the first time he’d had to say that to someone that day. When going outside to look for this sign I had apparently missed, the only notification was a sheet of A4 paper stuck to the inside of one of the five windows. As if anyone is going to notice (or even be able to read) that from their car when driving in! The wife and I then remembered that ex can’t the same thing happened to us the last time we went to go there, which was about a year ago. Just a total lack of common sense. Put a sign out near the entrance so motorists know not to bother! This lack of consideration for the public means we won’t be going again.
