The Kingsbridge Inn in Swansea

First Impressions Friendly and welcoming staff. Interior was warm, clean and modern. Split into a bar area on one side and the restaurant on the other. The clientele seemed to be families and elderly friends. Sat next to a nice lady who is a regular and said the dinners are great and the staff “couldn’t do enough for you”. Booking normally welcomed but they managed to fit me in and did not feel like an inconvenience. Menu Only Sunday Dinner menu served on Sundays. Food Went for the 2 courses of beef dinner and dessert. Had an Americano coffee too. Beef dinner comprised of: Beef Boiled potatoes Roast potatoes Peas Carrots Cauliflower Mashed swede Parsnip Yorkshire pud Gravy You could request more vegetables at no extra cost. The dinner was excellent. All the vegetables felt fresh and were presented nicely in a silver tray. Plate already came with plenty of gravy and they provide a gravy boat too. All sauces you would expect (horseradish, apple, mint etc.) available on request. The beef was tender and juicy. They provided 3 slices which is about the right amount. All veg was cooked to satisfaction for most part - roast potatoes slightly overdone and had hardened skin - but this is a minor grievance and the insides were still fluffy and tasty. The winner is the gravy. It is so rich and meaty tasting and complimented the beef. I wonder whether they have a chicken gravy if you went for the chicken dinner. 🤔 After the dinner I was so full and did not want anything too stodgy or sickly sweet for dessert. Thankfully, they probably have the most dessert choices I have ever seen for any restaurant. After some careful consideration I went for the Bakewell Tart, which to my pleasant surprise, came with either cream or ice cream. With so many desserts to choose from, I don’t think the desserts are made in-house, but that didn’t matter to me. The presentation was spot-on, and they even had a biscuit crumb on the bottom of the ice cream to a.) prevent the ball of ice cream sliding and b.) give the contrasting texture. I love almond and cherry flavours so this was always going to be a thumbs up. Overall Experience Excellent. I didn’t know what to expect walking into the pub. Gentleman behind the bar quickly gave me his attention despite being in the middle of pouring a pint for another customer. Ushered me to the restaurant area to ask whether there was any space, because usually you would have to book. There were 3 or 4 customers queueing for takeaway dinners. The service was quick, but not rushed. Ordered my drink within 2 mins of being seated and it arrived within another 2 mins. There were about 6 waitresses and all were dressed appropriately and were friendly. There were multiple dessert boards hung on the walls but if you couldn’t read it, they would bring one to the table, which I witnessed one group doing. I will definitely be back again and will be singing their praises to friends and family.

Lovely food and good value for money, all the staff were helpful and attentive, extensive dessert menu, will definitely be back

Just treated my partner to lunch. Excellent food and service. Thoroughly recommend.

Really nice food, good atmosphere and have some really good deals on in the day manu

Lovely place staff super friendly

Consistently good food and great service. Fabulous lunch time specials.

Very nice servis and excellent steak

The food and the service was excellent, I had the homemade steak pie which was full of chunky pieces of steak, one of the best pies that I have had, my wife said that the lasagne was the best one ever bettering the lasagne that she has had in Italy. Well done to everyone for such a fantastic job, when next in the area I will certainly be making a return visit.

Food was delicious hot and fresh highly recommend

Dry good for people who are gluten free if you are not, the food was still good. I have fish and chips and it was great.

Disappointed today first time I think I ever have been in years. Lasagne literraly just tasted of tomato and nothing else. I left over half and left. In my experience years ago in the catering industry I would have asked if anything was wrong but obviously they don't care.

A fantastic place to go for gluten free food. Roughly 30-40% of the menu is suitable for those with gluten intolerances. Very welcoming waitress served our table of over 10 and the food was served promptly. Not many places are as accommodating for gluten intolerance so this place should be commended for going through extra mile.

Lovely restaurant. Hood food and service. Good value all round

We sat in the bookable room. Food was amazing but some had issues with their steaks but these were sorted with no issues.

Very tasty roast dinners at the pub today! Really welcoming staff quickly seated us and were very attentive. Served quickly, lots of veg and gravy. Lovely atmosphere, particular thanks to Stacey who could not do enough for us.

Had a very good meal here, generous portions and a vast range of desserts including Penderyn White Chocolate Tart which was fantastic.

Had lunch with my friend and ordered steak. Very fatty and way below the normal standards, disappointing.

Heard good things, so after trying out every other local pub/restaurant, we heard this was the best. Nowhere near, the opposite in fact. No choice but to order two courses instead of just a Sunday dinner! Never heard of such a weird rule. The starters are comically bad too, pathetic in fact, three breadcrumb covered mini prawns on a big plate with some bag salad slapped on. My partner had the mushrooms, same standard, supermarket freezer bag breaded mushrooms, 5 small ones rolling around on a big plate, laughable. The dinner was ok but the swede looked almost grey in colour and just two meagre roast potatoes, one the size of a sprout. Gravy was a bit tasteless. Want a good dinner? Go to loughor and the Rev James, nicer place, way better food and much better prices, or Seagers. Won't be going back to the Kingsbridge ever again £80+ quid for that?!? Mental.

Great food, plenty of choices, friendly staff. Had a lovely evening. Would definitely go again.

We love this pub, fantastic food every time.

Very good atmosphere, food was excellent as was the staff. Light and airey environment.

Pleasantly surprised by the Kingsbridge Inn. I had driven past the pub loads of times and never thought to go in. Decided to catch up with from friends who were already out and they were there. Nice beer garden, good modern interior. The bar is a little small for the size of the pub but a really good range of drinks available. Will definitely visit again

Very good home cooked food with good prices with friendly staff.

Excellent service. Delicious, piping hot food.

The first visit to this pub won't be the last 3 course meals for 20.95 for their sunday lunch cooked to perfection. Lots of choices are all very appealing. Attentive staff and we were quickly helped and served. You can park on site, but it is a small carpark

Everything lovely about the place, food, drinks, service and atmosphere. And IF we have nice weather, can sit outside with a cold beer 🍺

Easily the best restaurant in Gorseinon. Staff and food are incredible and such a warm friendly place

Best food I've eaten in a while. We didn't book but they accommodated for us with no problems at all. Big portion sizes that was my only flaw as I couldn't finish my meal and didn't want to waste as it was so good. Will return again soon

Food was beautiful. Never had a bad meal there. Always served with a smile. Lovely people there.

We always book the Kingsbridge for family occasions and are going in the near future. Staff are always welcoming , helpful and the food is always a very good quality. A must go to place .

Great food and service was good

Great place for a good meal, good prices and friendly staff.

Had a lovely catch up with friends yesterday .Food was amazing .Brilliant staff and excellent service .very attentive and helpful. Will definitely be returning x

Food is lovely, and the atmosphere is great, just found it a little pricey.

Always lovely food, we've been going here for years.

Fantastic food and always busy Recommend booking a table

Great food, reasonably priced, attentive staff.

Great service, well cooked and presented food - served by people who genuinely want you to enjoy & have a good time ! 👍🏼

Fantastic food, great service staff lovely, attentive even when it was packed! Looking forward to returning very soon.

The food was great, service a bit slow but I had a mushroom starter and thete was literally three quarters of a small mushroom. May be a one off but...

Great local pub with excellent food - great choice, local produce well cooked and fantastic, speedy, very friendly service ! :) Very kind & considerate to my elderly Dad also ! Will keep coming back to this place! Fabulous deserts also 👍🏼

Took our mum and auntie for lunch for the mum's birthday Friday as always service was amazing and friendly. Food was served piping hot and was really enjoyed by all

Always the same, top quality service, excellent food

Not visited for a few years .Won't be waiting this long to return. Delicious food .Friendly service great atmosphere 👌 .

Lovely meal, food was excellent and staff friendly and really helpful xxx

Fabulous meal. Steak cooked to perfection

My friend and I are absolute foodies and we love trying new spots for lunch. I was absolutely blown away with the lunch here. We attended the 12pm sitting and it was full, busy and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. There was a choice of meats to go with your roast and plenty of options for starters and desserts - something for everyone! The food came out hot and tasty with plenty of potatoes, gravy and veg for us to share. I can honestly say, it's a definite recommendation for you Sunday lunch lovers!

What a delightful place,food is outstanding, plenty to choose from,as their are special boards everywhere. Staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you,atmosphere is relaxing,and welcoming and we will definitely be paying another visit. Prices are very reasonable too 😊

We booked here for sunday lunch and was not disappointed Stacey the chef her food was amazing all the staff are very friendly. The dessert menu was a great choice will definitely come here again

Amazing. Food is always spot on. Venue great. Menu doesn’t alter but it’s good quality. Been going here YEARS and never had a bad meal. You can’t fault it. Prices good wine great lovely atmosphere. Best pub for miles. Occasionally call into bar for a drink and it’s great.

What an amazing place. I have lived in loughor for 28 years and never been here until now. The food was absolutely amazing, I had lasagne, it was the best lasagne I ever tasted. Lovely friendly staff, the service was impeccable. I came with a party of 6 and everyone said how delicious the food was. Until the next time. Thank you

A wonderful family run pub which you don’t find many of these places friendly staff home cooked food in a lovely environment we keep return and they never disappoint

Excellent experience absolutely fabulous food too 👌

We visited last night for a family birthday. Been before, but not for a while. Four adults and one pre-teen with very specific likes and dislikes! The choice of food was amazing. Specials boards, saver menu, fish, steak, pasta...... It's all there. I had the mushrooms with a cheesy tomato sauce to start, which was gorgeous, and then the fish curry half and half. The chips were gorgeous, and the curry was out of this, world! My husband couldn't make it, so I asked if I could order a takeaway for him. The waitress said that most things could be packed to take away, so I ordered him a chicken curry half and half. Everyone's meals arrived together, and our waitress was attentive but not overly so. We were allowed to eat our meals at our own pace without feeling rushed. My stepdad has dementia, so can take ages to choose and then to eat, but again, we weren't rushed. All agreed the meals were lovely. Nobody could manage dessert, although there were, again, many choices. Our waitress brought out my husband's curry when we asked for the bill, and it was piping hot and well packed. All in all, a hugely enjoyable evening was had by all xx

Had a lovely two course meal earlier. Excellent food and not too expensive. Highly recommend.

I had high expectations of this place as I had eaten here before from the lunch menu. This time I ordered from the specials board, I was really looking forward to the Malay fish curry. I was a bit put off when asked if I wanted chips with it, I thought thats not very traditional. When food arrived it looked awful, my friend ordered the mixed grill which is not cheap at £27, again his looked awful and no care was put into presentation. I tasted my food and it was dreadful it tasted like someone had mixed curry powder and water and that was it. I immediately complained, the server took my food away, about five minutes passed and the chef came out saying he just tasted it and "it does taste like sh!t" he also stated the it was the other chef that made it and a big batch of it, and that he would never have served it if he'd known, so the fact he hadn't tasted it before serving shows they don't taste anything before serving. I wont be going back there again.

Lovely food at a reasonable price

Good place to celebrate family's birthday.

Great food,plenty of choice, the list of desserts is super,at an affordable price too

Went for Sunday lunch today with 3 family members we all had 3 courses. Food was amazing and the service staff couldn't do enough for us will definitely be coming back

This place is unrivalled for excellent pub grub in terms of quality of food,quality of surroundings and quality of staff with value for money across the menu. The specials menu inparticular are a great option for those on a budget without feeling youre on a budget! The desserts are superb and not just an afterthought like lots of places and theyre ALWAYS open,none of this "sorry the kitchens closed til tonight" nonsense.

Had a really lovely meal. Wonderful choice on the menu. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Visited here for lunch with friends. The food was fantastic! All homemade, freshly cooked and delicious! Service was really good with friendly welcoming staff!! Will definitely be back!!

Always a nice meal here. Very well priced and a lovely pint

We were a table of 22, food was tasty and hot, and served together. Fantastic time with family and friends.

We booked for a bunch of friends for Christmas dinner well what a lovely afternoon from start to finish the staff couldn’t do enough for us the Christmas dinner was delicious with lashing of scrummy gravy Plenty of turkey and veg and delicious pudding s the staff was on hand to take photographs of us. We were not disappointment I would recommend this place to everybody home cooking all the way leave the chain restaurant behind and taste real home cooking in a lovely atmosphere Thank you so much Kingsbridge staff.

Had Christmas dinner with a group of 15 people. Great atmosphere, excellent service and food. Very friendly staff.

Really good food. A great night out

Fabulous food Friendly staff Great service

Really nice place to have a meal. Prices are reasonable and the food is consistently good.

Carol Sally Bethan billy Good meal

Very nice clean place the food is fantastic

We booked a table for twenty people, the food came out very close together. A big feet for any restaurant. A small hiccup with one dish that was dealt with amazingly. I would definitely recommend it.

Food was very good. Service was good. Staff were friendly but some staff were scruffily dressed. Not a good look for an otherwise well kept pub and restaurant.

Lovely place and staff. Food is beautiful

Went here with my son lunchtime. He had steak and I had curry. Don't think the same chef is here since I came here two years ago. My curry was very bland with frozen chips and my rice hadn't been drained of water . Popadom was dripping in oil so only ate about four mouthfuls. Don't thin we'll go here again not what it used to be.

Food was outstanding. Service was very good. There was a large birthday party while we there and they were very loud which was a shame.

Great food, value for money,great staff

First class food and service and great choice of gluten free food

Great location, food fantastic and Staff polite, helpful and providing a great service at the bar and restaurant.

Food always a high standard with friendly staff.

We came here for a last minute meal on a cancellation as they were fully booked. It was a large group of us the service and food was absolutely amazing. Staff pleasant and very punctual place was spotlessly clean table laid out perfect. Very warming and inviting. It had a large stunning beer garden also. First time visiting and definitely will be returning. The food was so full of flavour massive choice and very nice to see a dessert board with more than 3 items it was more like 33. Beautiful place and each and everyone of us enjoyed our meals. Big fur getting a huge drinks selection. Thank you all had a great night 🥰

Beautiful food served by very pleasant waitress

Absolutely stunning food and great staff. This place never disappoints. Highly recommend.

Food was very good and service spot on would highly recommend

Went on a recommendation. Spent lots of time in beer garden late taking seat in restaurant but did ensure no one was eating after us. Local brewer on tap and huge choice of food on menu.We ate midweek and will return.

Everything about this place is superb!! The food was fantastic with a great choice to choose from including a daily specials board. The staff are very friendly and efficient and we didn't have to wait long for food and drinks to be served. A must visit!!

Steak and Ale pie and chips simple food but very tasty, washed down with a Gower Gold pint. Always a satisfying meal at the Kingsbridge.

We were a table of 11 tonight and I must say everything was spot on.. Compliments to the chef.. Lovely atmosphere.. Service was great food top notch.. All food was Brought out together... Deserts were lush. First time and definitely will return again..

Was here on 21st August for my sons 30th birthday, lovely staff, great service food all came out at the same time, there was 18 of us and the food was delicious, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Fantastic food, plenty of choice.

Lovely place Lovely food I drove 60 mile to this place well worth it

Absolutely delicious food. Staff are so friendly. Prices are spot on. I've never had a bad meal here and would recommend to anyone.

Back to one of my favourite pup/ restaurant. Had a great meal with 17 old friends you can’t go wrong fantastic meal and service

Early evening dinner with friends. Our second visit, the first for lunch some time ago. Varied menu with specials blackboards dotted around. We were seated to our booked table promptly. Orders given for main courses. Arrived swiftly and hot but some items missing. Disappointed in the fresh hake (specials board)on bed of samphire and a prawn chowder sauce. The fish was not fresh and had poor flavour. Hardly any samphire and what there was was not cooked properly, the chowder sauce was gloopy and lacking flavour. The chips were good. Rump steak inedible and chewy . Overall very disappointing and not to standard of previous visit. Desserts were fine. Service lacking on this occasion and we were interrupted several times by the waitress who was intent on clearing unused glasses and vinegar bottles towards end of evening even though we were still eating.Bill did not arrive when requested and after waiting 30 mins we had to ask another waitress for it. Disappointing visit.

The food is great , and the service is good,very busy must book

We travelled up to Gowerton, near Swansea from our home in Leicester to visit a cousin of my wife's. She suggested we went to Kingsbridge Inn in Gorseinon for Sunday lunch and it did not dissapoint. The food was delicious and portions generous and price-wise very reasonable. We chose the lamb roast which was excellent and tender to a fault. While we selected from the Sunday roast menu we noticed very wide choice options on the menus. Do book in advance. On the Sunday we went it was fully booked which says alot how well thought of this restaurant is. Finally we must compliment the staff for their friendliness and first class service. Will definitely visit again on our next trip to Wales.

What a fabulous pub, great service as always, lush beer garden perfect for a sunny day, or Sunday dinner. Also, have the fish curry, recommended, beautiful

Lovely food and nice relaxed atmosphere

Excellent food and very polite staff
