The joiners in Swansea

It's great to walk into a pub you haven't been in for over thirty years and find it hasn't changed at all. Still got a nice friendly atmosphere. Nice pint of Guinness at a sensible price. The only thing that has changed is the barmaids. I don't remember them having three stunning girls in the old days. They have now!

Lovely pub after walk.Oldy worldly and log fire.Great atmosphere and ambience and lovely wholesome food.Beautiful pink pino Grigio and great choice of beers.Love it here and come every week.Try it you won’t be disappointed

Great pub. Veggie options are left wanting but beer, service and atmosphere is top.

Loved the chilli and tequila rose

Great local pub with very good pub grub

We live locally and enjoy sitting outside with the dog in the summer, or eating inside in the winter. We've eaten here a number of times, but more so during December 2023, with various family and friends visiting. We find the food tasty, and very reasonable, with excellent portion sizes and staff are polite and efficient. We will continue to return. Thank you!

Fantastic pub. Always busy. Couldn't have a better local

Lovely Chicken Madras. Satisfying Cold beers. Consistent high quality as ever. Only suggestion is to put the Tobago curry on the main menu. Loved it last time and well worth the extra £1.50.

They accommodated me turning up at the end of food service. The blackened Cajun Hake bangs 👌🏻. Fresh, perfectly cooked! Friendly, smiling service. Excellent bike stop. Swerve the other local pubs. Neck Oil and Brixton IPAs too. Winner 🥇

Love this quirky little pub, friendly staff and customers, the food is excellent. I've only ever walked to this pub as the parking is a bit rubbish. Definitely worth a visit.

Having heard lots of great things about the food from friends we decided to book for my dads birthday. The chilli we had was amazing the best chilli and hottest we’ve had out in a very long time. Blue cheese Cajun burger was also spicy and delicious. Great selection for the kiddies too. Great beer and staff were friendly and helpful. Haven’t been here for over 15 years but will definitely be back more often now. Advise to book as it was really busy when we got there.

Nice pub, very friendly nice food good service. Parking is a bit of a problem.

Wonderful jacket potatoes and Gower Gold ale. Also loved watching the cricket on the TV

Nice traditional pub, good choice of beer, pub grub available, and lovely staff

Friendly local pub, food was delicious ibhad the steak and guiness pie, it was lush. Definitely a must to visit

Had a meal. The food was nothing special.

visited here as id heard it was good for real ales and when i asked for a taster of one of the ales they refused with an abrupt we dont do tasters here. i was doing a tour of real ale pubs from swansea, york and edinburgh and this was the only pub that i got refused or ever for that matter so wont be visiting again or recommending to anyone. Poor.

Not tried the food. Beer and ambience very nice.

We were a group of 10 down in the area for golf and we booked a table to watch the football on a weds evening. The food and drink were excellent, as was the service.

Have visited pub couple of times over last few weeks for dinner on 3 occasions & once on a lunchtime. Food has been excellent on each occasion. Warm baguette on lunchtime was lovely & real value for money. Evening meals also have been very good with generous helping. My favourite so far is the hickory chicken, whilst my partner really rates the jerk chicken but also really enjoyed the blue cheese beefburgers. This pub has become a firm favourite of ours but advise to book as it gets busy in evening when Food is being served.

Friendly pub for locals and visitors, choice of 4 ales. Food was very good, especially Hickory Hunters Chicken. Return visit planned on next visit to Gower

Great pub in one of the worlds best locations. First time for food with a group of friends. Very avarage throughout and the steaks tough. Expensive for what you get. Can't recommend for food but for good beers and location fantastic. Staff were very disengaged. We all thought the same.

Small but cosy, well-run pub. Normally fairly busy, but can handle it. Good selection of beers and wines. The food looks good, but I've never actually eaten there.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff great food and the best Ales

Decent Pub with good choice of beer and some food options with friendly staff one and cosy interiors. Can be busy during the summer months!

Came for food around a week ago with some golf friends and we were all most impressed with the venue, the food and the drink. The staff member we dealt with, Ben was fantastic. The food was wonderful, my friend Sick Slogs said the ‘Carribean Jerk Chicken’ was the nicest pub meal they have ever eaten. It was wonderful and we will definitely be back!!

This pub is fantastic, I have never been to a better local business. The food was delicious and the atmosphere and staff were great. I would 100% recommend to anyone.

Great food and service! Steak was brilliant

Good little pub in a great location. Fantastic drinks and snacks, didn’t have food there but it looks good so there’s an excuse to go back soon!

The food at this place was homemade and delicious.

Brilliant food, environment and pints.

Very friendly staff, really helpful with sorting the cake we had brought for a birthday lunch. Good food variety . V tasty lamb burger. Good jerk chicken. Good portion size. Prawns a bit tasteless.. Wld be nice to keep outside seating more separate from the cars with more greenery.

Friendly and genuine service with really good beer made on site. The food is fantastic and really good value, the children meals are generous and the mains certainly fill an empty belly with great grub!

What can I say apart from that it's a proper pub British pub with good food, particularly the specials board. Recently had a bit of a refurb inside and on the patio.

Fantastic food friendly service and a fantastic variety of beers

I was on a business trip in the Gower, popped into this pub for a drink and I must say what a lovely place. I really enjoyed and good value for money!

A last minute selection but clearly the right choice. A lovely summer's evening with some great food and a couple of cold beers. I had Gammon, Egg and Chips. My wife had Thai Sweet Chilli Chicken and Rice. Both dishes were gorgeous. The Pub was busy with others enjoying the sunshine, there was a great vibe. Nice looking place too, inside and outside. Would have stayed longer, but one of us had to drive and it was the last day of our holiday, wish we'd found the Pub earlier.

We were staying nearby and this place offered food and a friendly welcome. We did not have to wait too long for food, which was as expected, basic pub grub.

Very disappointing meal and service. We ordered a veg lasagne and although it took over half an hour to arrive, it was cold in the middle and clearly a mass-produced frozen micro wave meal that had just been heaved onto a plate. When we took it back, it was simply returned by a very ungracious member of staff a few minutes later on a clean plate, microwaved a bit longer than the first time and looking like slop. Next time we’ll book a table at The Valley opposite where they have the same dish home cooked from scratch for less money, and always with great service!

So disappointed. Meal inedible. Staff shockingly rude. Would definititely not recommend

A popular village pub, with ample outside seating area to enjoy the early evening sunshine. Great atmosphere & a good selection of drinks too.

Great ale, very friendly. Just finished a ten mile walk on the Gower and needed a beer Faultless. Still as good six months on.

Very pleasant, hadn't been in for some time but was really nice

Lovely traditional pub, local beer, excellent pub food. The staff are friendly and helpful, everyone works hard to create an fabulous atmosphere.

Lovely traditional pub. Good food service and atmosphere

A fab little pub restaurant on the Gower, which is a beautiful part of the country in itself, which had kids of character & served an excellent selection & quality of dishes. Enough variety to satisfy & served with enthusiasm & attentiveness. Very likely to be back. Why not a 5* … well it is the first restaurant we have ever been to that operated on a ‘pay as you go’ basis (their own words) so every meal & round of drinks had to be paid for each & every time & you cannot settle the bill more efficiently at the end of the evening.

Lovely food, cosy place and friendly staff.

Try the Three Cliffs bitter! Very good

Great pub! Friendly and attentive staff, food was delicious.

We were staying in a hotel near by and found this place for dinner as it was only a 10 min walk away. This is a proper pub with very well priced good honest food and fantastic Service- the young chap who served us fantastic!!

Nice friendly service. Good atmosphere

Superb food,excellent service & value for money

Great food and drinks. Solid community atmosphere.

Food so good we went back the following evening. Fabulous menu and setting. One of our party, a young child, loves veg but when asked if he could have beans and peas with his scampi instead of having to choose we were told very frostily 'it's one or the other' We would happily have paid extra but as there were 7 of us I would have thought that an expected bill from that number would have covered it. Not exactly doing everything to keep your customer happy.

Amazing food, will forever hold a memory with me if the fist place I had T-Bone steak with my son. Service on the whole is friendly and really good. Just a shame the (I assume) land lady, after spending over £240 in 2 days (was that good we went back the next day) found it far too much for one of the kids meals to come with both peas and beans (we would have paid a little more if needed). Just a flat “it’s one or the other” is the only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars. Might be being picky but just a little thing like that can disappoint a young visitor quite a bit.

We tried the Joiners, after years of not going there. We went on a Sunday afternoon, no Traditional Sunday Lunch here, the Menu was varied, the food was excellent and the service was very good too.

It's a classic, joiners and valley duo

Food is great and reasonably priced. The service is always fantastic the staff are so helpful and friendly. It makes you want to go back.

Very clean, very 'Covid' conscious, and really friendly staff. Lovely inside and out, very pretty. Maybe a tad pricey, but you pay for what you get. 👍

Very pleasant staff. Food quite nice. Typical pub food.

Good Service, and a lovely meal. Our waiter was very helpful in recommending things from the menu, based on which I ordered the jerk chicken. This was an excellent choice, 3 huge pieces of delicious chicken in a really tasty sauce. The chips were also excellent, and a huge portion.

Excellent pub. We had the burger and the scampis. Big portions and what counts even more fresh ingredients and a good price. Also fast service and a decent selection of drinks.

We stopped here after a walk to Pwlldu beach. We had the Hake in Jerk spices and the Hickory Chicken - both were as good as they look! Service was prompt and efficient, we were outside at a well spaced table. I can also recommend their own brewed ale - delicious!

Delicious homemade pub food, traditional pub setting, good selection of drinks and warm atmosphere. Nice refurb.

Convenient local with very good food and service. We were staying in a fantastic Airbnb above the Coop, The Joiners is a very short walk away. The interior is very well appointed, comfortable tables. The menu is varied and the portions very generous. A very...

There are not many pubs that serve food as good as this. Large helping and fantastic value. Where else would you find a 16 ounce ribeye steak for £18. The lightly battered Hake was absolutely delicious. You have a choice of proper chips or jacket potato into the bargain. Both came with a lovely side salad. They also served a superb Laguntas IPA which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Stumbled on this place after a round of golf at the beautiful Langland Bay course - so glad we did! Great food and IPA beer; a perfect end to a glorious day. Biggest steak I’ve ever been served in a restaurant and the fish was lightly battered and perfect. Great value for money - highly recommend!

Great countryside pub, food was good.

Bishopston Joiners. Always been good

Lovely ales with many brewed onsite. Good local crowd and very friendly.

My food was 20% more expensive than the online menu and the portion was small. However it was friendly.

Good service polite and a great selection of beer

Great little pub serving their own beer. Kitchens were shut for work when we visited but there was a great atmosphere with locals sat outside drinking and having a good time. Edit to my previous review. Kitchens are now open and we have just had a good home cooked pub meal and a couple of pints of their own beer. Can't fault this place, it's a proper pub.

Pub doesn't look that impressive, but all 4 of us gave the food 10/10. Was amazing. We don't usually do puddings but wanted one. Unfortunately they didn't do them.

Friendly local hostelry with well kept ales.

Nice beer, friendly welcome...a bit dark and dreary

Great range of ales some locally brewed

Food was excellent and was great friendly service good value for money. Wonderful experience x

Big portions of food. Good atmosphere. Can be difficult to find parking.

My local top place and fab staff

Great selection of larger and Ale brewed on site!

Nice old traditional pub, good staff, excellent choice of beers. Great place to visit, car park outside, tidy!

Busy. Earthy Free house pub. Local den for many ...

A lovely local pub serving good ales and although we didn't eat there the food looked tasty! Friendly staff and people we met were too.

A good pint and friendly atmosphere.

Really olde worlde proper pub, with a lovely menu and well cooked food, thoroughly recommend the fish and chips.

Great village pub. Great atmosphere with a brilliant band outside for the bank holiday. A popular local venue. Seating outside which is great in the sun and for watching the world go by.

Lovely pub. Excellent food and excellent real ales according to my bloke

Nice little pub, the only one we could find within just about walking distance of Pennard (if you go on a pub crawl) that shows Sky Sports, we sat and watched the Mighty Clarets distroy Spurs ;) we didnt eat anything as kitchen was closed, but the beer tasted great!!

Great atmosphere and amazing to watch the rugby!

We called into the joiners whilst on a road trip and it’s a beautiful country pub situated in village setting great atmosphere friendly staff and a good drinks choice

We had a lovely meal, The staff were welcoming, and friendly.I would recommend the Joiners, for a comfortable evening with good food.

Decent food and very friendly staff made us welcome at this local pub. As it's not a chain, the food was home prepared and well worth the money. Bar staff were really helpful and great with the kids.

Great beer, great food. A traditional pub.

Friendly locals, friendly staff, good and sizeable meals!!

Friendly staff and good food and drinks. Dog friendly too!
