The Plough and Harrow in Swansea

Had my birthday lunch here, and it was fantastic. The restaurant is quaint and welcoming. The portions are a tidy size, top! Our server, Ellie, was absolutely brilliant. Very attentive and provided superb customer service! Thank you, Ellie! 🥳

Went on Sunday for a late afternoon lunch. Its a great place with helpful staff and super food. We had lovely time.

Great steak as usual. Thanks to Dan particularly but all staff great

Sunday lunch very poor quality. Three half roast potatoes. Two thin slices of thin beef £30.00 not a good standard for the high price.

Probably one of THE best Sunday roasts I have ever had! Exceptional quality, totally delicious with a mix of melt in your mouth beef, belly pork and crackling to die for, cauliflower and leek cheese, sooo delicious! 10/10 and the gravy was superb, closed my eyes and I was transported back to my nannas kitchen, and she had THE best gravy!! Highly, highly recommend x

Exceptional food and service. Friendly and professional staff who delivered excellent service. The food is exquisite. Particular favourites are: the steak and triple cooked chips; beef Sunday lunch; goose; ane duck. Having a sweet tooth, the ice cream and cheesecakes are delicious. Highly recommend

Enjoyed a wonderful meal with my husband. The most delicious Welsh pork belly! The cheeseboard was also lovely. Would recommend visiting this lovely pub.

Oh this is a real find. Wonderful food, fresh crisp beer. And kids eat free some days of the week. This is my perfect local pub. No photos as all four of us scoffed the food down in record time.

Too expensive, at least 30% more expensive than central London restaurants for a two course meal without drinks ‼️ Nice good, pleasant staff, however the price is too high.

Friendly staff, comfortable surroundings, sat in the front beer garden, bar quiz on Sunday, not dog friendly.

My husband and I had dinner with friends at the Plough and Harrow during our trip to The Gower and we were really impressed. Lovely relaxing ambience and excellent quality of food; sea bass, skate and pork belly cooked to perfection and delicious. Very reasonably priced, and a special mention must go to Alice our super friendly and efficient server. Definitely worth a second visit next time we're staying in the Gower.

Attended a wake here as was excellent service provided by the staff and the food supplied was excellent. Would recommend.

Nice pub, but £3.50 for a small glass of lemonade is extortionate!

We booked this pub for a family dinner based on the menu and great reviews but sadly it didn't live up to expectations and we were disappointed with many aspects. Things started well when we were warmly greeted and given a homemade complimentary lemonade with alcohol or without which was nice. The menu looked great so we were looking forward to a fantastic meal. The chicken wings were not nice at all - very floury taste with no flavour and no sauce, there was just about 6 plonked on a plate. The fish and chip main and the goats cheese tart ok, the steak and sea bass good, BUT the chips and onion rings were really greasy and not nice at all. And when the Gower has possibly the best new potatoes in the world at this time of the year, why not have those on the menu... The flaming chocolate and orange brulee was like a chocolate mousse with a few small pieces of orange in it and the sugar topping was soggy. Two of us had 3 courses, 1 had 2 courses and 1 had just a main. We only had 1 or 2 drinks each and the bill was £170, which we felt really didn't represent value for money. Our quest to find an excellent gastro pub on the Gower continues.

Lovely food! A couple of off bits of wording on the menu- lobster Marie Rose but was prawns and salmon. 🤷‍♀️ Beautifully cooked fish and the best tiramisu! Lovely service from Matilda and Ellie. (And lady in flowery dress) I think the staff need to try more dishes so they can explain better! :)

On holiday,looking for a local place for a meal out on my birthday and found The Plough and Harrow. The whole experience was excellent and the bonus was a complimentary starter or dessert if seated before 6pm which we didn't know at time of booking. Whole team were great, excellent talent in the kitchen obviously, and a special mention to Vicki (hope spelled correctly) for outstanding service. Thank you for making the night memorable. Highly recommend!

What a gem. After a previous poor experience we tried again for a birthday meal and it did not disappont. I very tempting menu that cater for vegetarians amongst other dietary requirements. Good was well cooked and presented. Relaxed and informal atmosphere as you may expect from a pub but the food was certainly high end restaurant quality. The beetroot arancini was a highlight

Lovely lunch stop for the two of us. Nice friendly prompt service and good food. Also nice complimentary bread and butter with lava bread to nibble on. Very pleasant outside seating with blankets to keep you warm available.

Lovely friendly staff. Chilled atmosphere. And deserts delicious. We went on a Thursday and did not realise it was Steak Night which was a bonus as we love our steaks. Well done a lovely evening.

Fabulous meal and even better service! We had hake and steak, just gorgeous! Definitely recommend a visit! Rhubarb brulee for dessert, outstanding! Mali was the best! Knew the food, great advice 👍

Limited menu but tasty food. Friendly staff.

Visited with two friends early evening. We all found the food and service excellent. Lovely atmosphere and tables not crammed together. Made for a very pleasant evening and would recommend

After entering the pub we were greeted by a very rude, grumpy and unwelcoming bar tender, despite waiting for quite some time for service. Incredibly disappointed and left without even ordering. Not a warm welcome at all! Update: the visit took place on Wed 29 May. We attended the Plough and Harrow in Murton. Having sat in the garden as we had the dog with us, we swiftly left following the poor welcome. We weren’t even greeted with an ‘hello’ or ‘good evening’ instead a table number was demanded. Very cold welcome.

Best pork belly I have had in my life

This village pub is the best experience we have had for eating out in a long time food is over five stars staff are so accommodating you feel pampered well worth the price

Such lovely ladies greeted us and we had the most AMAZING Sunday lunch. Prices are quite high, but the food and staff were fantastic

Superb food and beer. Excellent service by Alys - attentive but relaxed and not intrusive. Will definitely recommend to friends and family when the visit and journey down the Gower.

Fantastic Sunday roast, well worth the trip out from Swansea. I had the Ultimate Roast and it was quite a feast, a generous portion of delicious meat and trimmings. The chocolate/Kahlua cheesecake was also quite nice. Would definitely recommend making the trip out if you have a free Sunday!

Fantastic service - Alys-May was the name on the bill.

Excellent food, best Roast Beef that I have ate in a long time.

Visited for Sunday lunch today, absolutely fantastic. It was really delicious. Wonderful atmosphere, served promptly cannot praise enough. Everyone should go and try.

Great food ..good choice of beers..lagers etc...

A first visit for my wife and I, booked online nice and easy, The food was outstanding, price was very reasonable, Glamorgan sausages were even better than the actual sausage I expected them to be( A learning for me) , the service from all the staff was exceptional and must take the opportunity to thank the full team that consisted of Alys, Italia,George,Kai,Estelle,Josh,Vicky,Bryn and Ben KP, team work makes the dream work, we will be back again shortly to indulge in more delicious food

Superb food and possibly the best roast dinner I’ve ever eaten! The sumptuous lamb melded with the apricot and ginger stuffing delivered a perfect taste match. The delicious medley of vegetables, along with the sublime leek and cauliflower cheese, just keeps on giving flavour-wise. Highly recommend this wonderful pub restaurant and already looking forward to a return trip on our next visit to the Gower.

Great food and very friendly atmosphere in the lounge bar - thank you to Flo for looking after us so well!

Consistently stunning food every time we visit. Everything is full of flavour and well portioned. If you enjoy good quality food then make sure you make time to come here. My personal favourite has to be the pork but on my last visit I tried the steak which was just as amazing. Whatever you choose from the menu you will definitely enjoy it.

Great service. Great food. Ellie was super attentive - thank you! Welsh breakfast starter especially good. Ellie has the coolest hair!

Lovely food, however the service was a little disappointing. Waited a long time for drinks order and one staff member was very miserable and rude.

We have been before and enjoyed the meal. This time we had the tasting menu, It was well cooked, but the finesse was a little lacking. Maybe because it was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was quiet, but it all seemed a bit rushed from one course to another. Flo, who served us was very friend polite, and nothing was to much trouble for her, she made us feel very welcome, thank you Flo.

A fantastic meal, we both had steak which was cooked to perfection. Lovely friendly atmosphere and great service from our knowledgeable front of house Flo.

Our waitress, Flo, was charming and attentive without being intrusive.

We had a fabulous meal in the Plough and Harrow with a group of friends. The food was excellent and the service spot on. We particularly enjoyed the Prosecco!

Was regular customers Management very rude food is overpriced and Bar staff very friendly on Positive side Me and my friend will never go back. After so much, money spent and management are very rude. An unpolite and professional. £100 to £150 a week loss From two customers former regulars We have found a nice friendly pub. Food is lovely on Sunday lunch. Advice to you and beer is lovely. Be more friendlier with customers. Improve management skills

Always delivers great food. Took advantage of lunch time offers, so great value. Very friendly staff, big thanks to Alex, Alys and Vicki for looking after us.

Another great meal out at The Plough and Harrow. Served by Alys and Ellie who were both lovely. I would recommend the chocolate fondant pudding!

Has the bar meal, simple but sufficient, however what really stood out was the diligence of service from Alex, who was exceptional. Thank you for making our evening relaxed and enjoyable with you amiable and helpful approach.

Great little place for a relaxed night out with friends/family but perfect ambience in the restaurant for something slightly more formal. Celebrating the local produce of the sea and the field in a totally original way. Both in the restaurant and in the bar this offers something way beyond ‘pub grub’ ( but be warned - the chips are to die for . And they don’t mind doing just a couple of bowls of those to go with your pint beside the fire in the bar either 😊 !!!

Excellent food and service. Staff always friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere. Have been many times over the years and it is always first class. Highly recommend.

The service and ambiance are consistently good. The quality of the food and the innovative menus are something that is not experienced in other pubs and the perks such as the gourmet club and steak thursdays are worthwhile gimmicks, Where else would you find pheasant on a menu for example. Cannot wait to back.

Nice place for a drink and food.

The standard was as good as ever. Service excellent, food appetising, although my Hake portion was a little small, but plenty of vegetables.

This is an excellent pub/ restaurant. Its always busy with locals , whichis always a good sign, but also people from further a field visit when they know about this freindly pub. Always amazingoffers for family and lots of eventsgoing on. Food is amazing, we had steak and it was perfect. We also went with our friends and their children and everyone loved their food. I would strongly recommend this place.

Really friendly, excellent food, not to be missed

We are regular visitors to the P&H and we have never been disappointed. This is a wonderful village restaurant, friendly service and wonderful food

Always great food and service. Regularly visit for a Friday tipple and our number one choice for family get together.

Exceptional food, brilliant staff and very reasonable prices considering the high quality experience

The best pub restaurant we have found in Wales since moving back ten years ago. I used to have beer and ploughman’s here in the 1970’s when farmworking as a student. The food is much better now but I can’t drink as much beer. Top class pub restaurant -highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar when out for drinks with friends. The staff we friendly and attentive. Looking forward to my next visit.

Booked a table for 2 at short notice for a Thursday night. On arrival the venue looked busy, inviting with a good atmosphere. We approached the bar for drinks and were offered a good selection of brands and staff enquired if we were members of the gourmet club (which you can join online and allows members to have some discount off their bill). We were informed that every Thursday is steak night and for a very reasonable price you can have 2 steaks with sides and wine. The service was excellent, we opted for the 2 steak deal, these were cooked to perfection and served with home cooked chips and a side of garlic bread. The wine was also excellent. This was unbelievable value for exceptional food and service and would highly recommend. We will definitely be visiting there again. The Plough and Harrow is the best pub in Swansea for food by far.

Always great food and service. Regularly visit for a Friday night tipple and our number one choice for family get together.

Very good pub with great food. Local atmosphere, but well worth travelling to.

We’ve always enjoyed our previous meals at the Plough, but unfortunately , not on this occasion. “ Foccacia “ bread starter was ok, but was not a classic focaccia ,more like a cob sprinkled with salt and rosemary. Mains of beef olives next. 2 portions...

After hearing great things and seeing the hype on social media recently, we were expecting a nice meal. Unfortunately, we found the whole experience quite underwhelming. We visited Saturday afternoon. My stater of mussels was under seasoned and swimming in sauce. The "foccacia" we ordered wasn't foccacia at all, rather a mini bloomer with rosemary and salt. Whilst the bread was nice enough, we wanted foccacia and didn't get it. The real dissapointment came with our main course though. The beef olives were cold, tough, with a small amount of sauce and one of them had a peice of string in it! The side veg was OK, but nothing special. The potato dauphinoise were quite dry too. Everything just felt poorly reheated, if you know what I mean. The service was also pretty underwhelming. And when we complained about the meal, we were only offered £10 off. We won't be going back and won't be recommending it to anyone. Such a shame.

We had a fab meal out last night. We shared the Makeral pate and focaccia with garlic which were both delicious. Staff brought some plain bread so our daughter could enjoy the pate too, which was incredibly thoughtful. Daughter demolished the pop corn chicken, which...

Very poor had to wait one hour for our main course and Sunday roast came what a disappointment lamb very fatty and apricot and ginger stuffing well very dry and only tasted of bread We had a baby if one with us and we found it very difficult Ps no nappy changing for fathers only in ladies toilets

I’ve been to the plough many times with family. The food never disappoints and a very good value with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the venison burger and peppercorn sauce.

Sunday lunch spent here on New Year’s Eve, added to booking, large group with children. Service was amazing, nothing too much, accommodated requests for changes to set menu from what was available children. Able to enjoy our meal and no rush to move on. Food...

This is a friendly pub with a relaxed atmosphere Food good especially the steaks … a firm favourite with our family and friends ! Our Australian relatives loved it !

Always our go to restaurant for special events. Fabulous food, great service. Always spoilt for choice with the menu. The best broccoli I have ever tasted!!

Sunday lunch was excellent at the Plough and Harrow. There was a computer glitch with the orders, but staff were very attentive and apologetic. The food was delicious and the nicest glass of Sauvingnon Blanc I have tasted in ages. Will definitely make a return visit.

Resteraunt a little cold but the good food and staff made up for it

After many years of visiting I have to say this is my first poor review. Service was terrible I didn’t leave a tip and I never do that. We waited ages after sitting before we were offered a drink , we didn’t have any cutlery...

Pleasant meal, good parking and friendly service. prices were very reasonable

enjoyable evening spent also no attempt by staff to move you on for table , advise book on advance.

We usually enjoy our experience at the plough and harrow murton, unfortunately this afternoon was a different story, beef was mostly fat and staff were rude, whispering under their breath and not knowing what options they had on tap and did not offer to have a look for us to make a decision

Has to be up there with the best local pub I’ve seen.

I have been here a couple of times and every time was great. Today we went for lunch and I was able to have a couple of items from the menu changed a little due to my dietary problem, I'm a coeliac and need to...

Have previously enjoyed a few evening meals here giving a 5 star score. Nevertheless what on earth happened to the quality of the cuisine on Christmas day? We were really looking forward to it expecting something really special at £125 per head. Really poor and...

Previous excellent meal here. Went on Christmas Day and waited over three hours for all the courses. Had cold blinis, followed by lobster bisque, which tasted like tomato soup. Turkey arrived with one small tureen of mixed veg between five of us. Looked unappetising with...

Had food tonight absolutely amazing loved it

Lunchtime visit with elderly parents. Attentive (patient) service, excellent food (including smaller portions for parents), cosy atmosphere. Best beer battered cod and chips (& onion rings) in any pub we’ve visited in the UK. Not crazy prices. We will definitely go again.

Had a Xmas function here, very nice, staff are great 👍

Nice little pub with a lovely written menu. Dishes were fine but not as great as reviews had led me to believe. Food was flavourful and very well presented but missed some of the finishing touches ( e.g. bread not toasted on Welsh breakfast leaving it soggy) Service was faultless and attentive. Venue was cold and would benefit from extra heating to work alongside the radiators.

Had another fabulous night at the P&H , highly recommend the food and service are fantastic 5*to them all ! Always have a superb time and fun with the ever delightful staff ! The starter were delicious as was the fillet steak , the curry...

Best place to eat in Swansea and Gower.The food is amazing and the menus change regularly.I have always had an exquisite meal here and the Sunday lunch is superb.Staff are lovely and I would wholeheartedly recommend this pub.

What a lovely find, we were child free for a few hours so booked Sunday lunch. We recieved alovely warm welcome and our serve Rhianudd (apologies in the spelling is wrong) couldn't do enough for us. A decent price for a 3 course Sunday lunch! Meat was super tasty and I'd definitely recommend adding leek & cauliflower cheese! Creme brulee was delicious, the lime parfait was probably the only thing I wouldn't order again. Soft drinks were quote expensive- bit that's not unusual in pubs these days. Overall a really lovely afternoon with good food and excellent service.

A very lovely place to eat. Friendly. Great food.

Village pub serving excellent food. We were a party of 10 having the Sunday roast. Good portion of various meats, nice selection of fresh vegetables. Very highly recommended. Best to book in advance. Good vegan and gluten free options.

Booked for dinner at 7.00pm, having arrived at 6.45. Ordered main course at 7.00pm but meal arrive d at 7.50 . Requested sweet menu at 8.00pm by 8.35 no menu so requested bill and departed. Main course when it arrived was excellent but service was...

Lunch menu. *86th Birthday lunch, with family. The service was a bit perfunctory, but they did decorate Mums plate with Happy Birthday which was nice. It is a nice dinning room but it was cold. The plates were also cold which meant the delicious food soon got cold, what a shame because after reading all the excellent reviews we were a bit disappointed. I think we should have gone in the evening, i'm sure the whole experience would have been better. I would return, but in the evening.

Went for a friend's surprise birthday party for a Sunday roast. Starter was a great selection. The duo roast was literally amazing. The orange and chai crème brulé was epic and definitely stole the show.

Update: Went back recently, 11 months after the review below. I’d given it 5 stars and was incredibly impressed! Sadly 11 months later that wasn’t the case. We had starters, mine was a chorizo scotch egg, which was massively under seasoned. It had no flavour at all, just texture. The saddest part was the chicken roast. All the seasoning seemed to have gone into the chicken in the form of way too much salt. I ate as much as i could but left needing pints of water. It was sad and very underwhelming. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but I also don’t like seeing somewhere that has been great, slip into the world of mediocre. It could have been a bad day, it was an unseasonably hot day, but on this occasion, the balance was off. Sad but recoverable. Hope to be back soon. Original Review: I love a roast dinner. I mean I LOVE a roast dinner… The Plough and Harrow is the best pub roast. Pure and simple. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Right from the starters… which were beautifully presented & flavourful, the tone was set. We had the Welsh lamb & the pork. Both meats just melted & the flavour was incredible! Stunning roast potatoes & a special shout out to the parsnips with a little magic twist. The stuffing, the crackling, the veg… it’s the complete package. If you’re in South Wales, this is the place to go for a Sunday roast. If you’re not in South Wales, go. My only negative critique is on the dessert side of things: the base of the Lemon Meringue tart was disappointing. While the lemon meringue had that balance of sweet and tangy, the base was tough & somewhere between cardboard and plastic & sadly ruins a really nice dessert. However… the clotted fudge ice cream is a must! The pub itself is light, fresh & inviting. The staff were lovely, friendly & very patient with my overly excited and indecisive partner. Though with a menu that is simply mouth watering, it’s hard to be decisive. We are really looking forward to going back.

Amazing couldn’t fault a thing. Service, atmosphere and value for money was great. Daisy was lovely. Couldn’t do enough for us

The Plough and Harrow was recommended to us for Sunday lunch, didn't disappoint, excellent meat, good vegetables probably the lightest Yorkshire pudding I've ever had and amazing gravy, not cheap but well worth it

Charming little pub with fabulous beer! So good I took some with me for a couple of pints around the camp fire. Thanks SO much for the glass!

Absolutely stunning! Probably one of best diners we’ve had out. £28 two course or £34 for three. Beef & pork was cooked perfectly & good quality meat. Veeg & potatoes were spot on too! Service was nice. Did have to wait about 40mins for our...

Just attended "Roofest" at the Plough & Harrow....what a wonderfully organised evening ......and all in aid of a Cancer Charity. Top marks to all the Singers and Guitarist acts , they really were good ......all of them. Plastic Sam was as always 100% entertainment. The...

Food was tasty, service sadly was not what I’ve come to expect locally, it was slow, no personality or friendliness and we weren’t told as we sat down specials of the evening, it was steak night but only overhead that as we’d already ordered. Bread just placed on table…what was it I assume love and care has gone into it along with the butter but again no explanation. Such a shame as we had high hopes and when you’re spending right now you don’t want to feel it was a waste of hard earned money.
