The Purple Badger in Swansea

Amazing meal last night as always, good quality food, been numerous times this year can't wait to sample the menu again soon !?

Wife was served by an ignorant lady who seemed to have forgotten that when you order ice creams, there should actually be some ice cream in the cone (almost felt racist by the attitude of the worker). They also used the smallest spoon we've ever seen. I realise that most places these days charge a fair bit for the ice cream. Having 3 kids its never cheap lol. However, this is the first time where we felt cheated. The staff member disappeared sharpish. Over £15 for 3 cones and the amount of ice cream in each barely amounted to what's usually in 1 from any decent vendor. Next time, I'd rather drive an hour to subzero and get a decent ice cream. With that rant over the place itself..... It looked clean and decent enough. That's the only thing going for the place..... Shame as this was the highlight for the kids. Being after check in, nothing else open and the park area in darkness.

Myself and my friend had the pulled pork loaded chips. The "pork" was a strange pureed consistency which had a very unusual and unpleasant taste. It was inedible and made us both feel very sick. We raised the concern with the restaurant staff, who originally challenged us as they felt that was nothing wrong with the food. However after bar staff commented it looked and smelt awful, we were only then offered the refund. The food quality does not seem at a good standard over the last few months and this is felt by many people who have now stopped purchasing meals at the restaurant.

Fuimos una mesa de 6 que visitó el domingo El almuerzo del domingo fue delicioso La carne estaba tierna y un montón de verduras y salsa extra Tomamos unos postres. Tomé el pastel de queso limón que estaba delicioso. Lo único que lo estropeó un poco fue el hecho de que nuestro pedido se perdió de alguna manera y esto significó un retraso bastante largo para nuestra comida La orden tuvo que ser tomada de nuevo después de esperar ya bastante Hubiera sido bueno que te ofrecieran una bebida o postre de cortesía

Had dinner at the purple badger on Saturday night. Underneath the table was filthy with last occupants food with peas all over the floor. No attempt to clean up from staff. Family enjoyed the lasagna and hunters chicken but steak pie was average with lots of gravy and not much meat. Very slow service 45 mins for anything to arrive. Distinctly average. We would not eat here again.

Estaba alojado en el parque y vino en la mayoría de las tardes para una bebida encantador pub. El personal era amable. volvería si en la zona

Servicio increíble comida fantástica tan alta calidad y toque encantador hablando con el chef. La comida estaba recién hecha y presentada maravillosamente.

Nos alojamos en el parque de vacaciones y visitamos el tejón púrpura dos veces. Es un restaurante muy popular y si te alojas en el sitio te recomiendo reservar una mesa por teléfono o por la aplicación. El personal es muy agradable y servicial. Vimos a una camarera en particular lidiar con una situación difícil / queja muy bien y ella era un crédito a su equipo para de - escalar rápidamente y seguir siendo profesional. La comida tiene un precio razonable y está bien, estuvimos lo suficientemente contentos de volver para una segunda visita. El mejor plato de lo que probamos fueron las chuletas de cordero. El bar está muy bien surtido y tiene un montón de buenas opciones galesas para ginebras, etc. que siempre son agradables de probar.

Lamento decir que no pida la parrilla de mezcla que suena bien en el menú, pero no vale £ 32. Tomé el filete de 14 onzas y tengo que decir que fue perfecto

Chips were cold, average food, expensive

A pub/restaurant in Llanrhridian Caravan Park. Food was lovely. Service good. Staff helpful and friendly. Able to take the dog inside too.

Good food warm welcome good staff and nice beer

It is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Great food and service. Very welcoming and has outdoor seating and a kids play area - and WiFi

The restaurant has a new chef and the menu and food is excellent highly recommended

Stayed a weekend there was amazing

Nice food, reasonable prices, plenty for the children to do.

Absolutely recommend this place. Beautiful food, very generous servings, super friendly staff. Just had their Sunday Roast. So good.

Very expensive paid £5.50 for a lager shandy

Great place to take the kids. Can supervise and relax knowing they are safe. The food was delicious as well.

Holiday park looks good but food in restaurant was below average it came cold, gravy was very watery, curry was the same cold, that's why I've given it 1 star and I would not recommend to any of my friends.

Took the kids, and they had a great time in the park outside & now the add soft play inside is perfect when the weather is bad. Food is tasty, just small portions compared to other food venues in the area. It's a shame as everything else is great. Good selection of drinks and the venu is clean & tidy. Would recommend a visit.

Great place to sit have drink and kids play in the park.

Another lovely Sunday lunch at the purple badger .the Sunday lunches are fab .i tried the lamb for a change normally have beef which is lovely.the lamb was beautiful so tender always friendly staff .best place we have been for Sunday lunch .always top standard.we book everytime we holiday in Llanrhidian in advance .also the lunchtime menu throughout the week is lovely to we went for ciabatta lunch 4 times always lovely.

All is good thanks to all very nice 👍

Excellent Mothers day lunch. Great service ,great food and great price 10/10.

Kids loved their breakfast... food is really good. Had nearly all on the menu between us all now, food is delicious and the menu just gets better

We had Sunday Lunch at the Purple Badger. IT WAS AMAZING….WOULD GIVE TEN STARS 🌟 IF WE COULD!! First, the service… the best we have had in some years. Every member of staff could not do any more for us. They were attentive, yet discreet. Then, the food… Sunday Lunch We had the chicken liver pate for starter. Delicious, accompanied by a salad, toast, and onion chutney. The salad dressing was divine and really brought up the level of an already tasty and well proportioned plate. My husband had roast beef and I had roast turkey for mains. The meat was perfectly cooked and plentiful, sitting on a butternut squash cream. Vegetables came to the table in a separate dish, as did cauliflower cheese. Roast potatoes, parsnip and Yorkshire puddings plated with the meat. I’m hard to please, with two sons who are pro chefs, but I can tell you, that roast was A++. With a roast lunch, there is no-where to hide bad cooking or ingredients and this meal had neither. We rounded the meal off with a cheesecake and ice cream, which did not disappoint and met our expectations which were by that point, rather high. In short….go there! The food and service both top notch.

I can certainly vouch for the food and service at the Purple badger llanrhidian. During my stay at llanrhidian. I have tried breakfast and dinner menus both equally good, and the food is outstanding quality and presented very well. I can also recommend Sunday lunch at the badge if you get the opportunity.

We had a short break at Llanrhiddan in December 2023 and based on what an excellent experience that was, we booked before we left for mid Feb 2024. Purple Badger caught us by surprise with freshly cooked and absolute top quality food - we've had during our visits perfectly cooked steaks, tasty pizza, vegetarian (for the fussiest, who loved it), great breakfast and one of the best Christmas menu meal ever! We're coming back in December 2024. The staff are lovely, everything is so well presented. I would recommend if you're in this part of the world, it is open to the general public (non residential)

Lovely pub with good music and a shop next door.

Absolutely amazing food I had hunters chicken with a side of dirty fries which were beautiful , friendly atmosphere and very quick service, definitely call again

We had a stunning Sunday lunch once again .staff friendly and welcoming always and lovely atmosphere.we will be back soon for Sunday lunch .

We had breakfasts and evening meals at The Purple Badger would definitely recommend. The food is excellent, fresh and wholesome and an imaginative and consistently good menu. Friendly and welcoming staff, reasonable prices for excellent food. We will be back.

Stayed for the weekend during half term, over the weekend we as a family had 2 main menu meals and one Sunday dinner (2 courses) and it has been STUNNING. We eat out often and do not mind paying for nice, good quality food. The staff were amazing and each meal was spot on - we will be returning!

Went with friends who all ate different dishes. Each one was lovely. The pizzas are amazing. Will definitely be back again soon.

The pizza's are amazing and the customer service was outstanding, I will be coming back here again

Excellent meal as always! The lamb was so tender and the pizza was stunning! Highly recommend the Purple Badger for a meal

The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is situated in a wonderful location to relax with a cold lager and a nice meal whilst enjoying the exceptional views over the marshlands, the whole family enjoyed.

I have celebrated with my family and friends a very happy event in my life. The food was amazing, the place was decorated so beautiful, the service was impeccable and it was a memorable day for all of us. Even though the place is a bit far from Swansea, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable family and friends gathering.

We came Saturday night 18 if us, food was amazing we all really enjoyed, staff were friendly, highly recommended

Sunday lunch was lovely and staff were extremely helpful and friendly will definitely be calling in again

Excellent service great atmosphere when we went on a Saturday evening great artist everyone was friendly . Booked Sunday lunch it was fantastic plenty of everything and was told we could have more veg and gravy if needed.more than plentiful and a good price,didn't make desert as we was full from ate meal.lovely staff friendly.

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service was great. The menu was brilliant and the seafood was exceptional. Really cannot rate it highly enough.

While holidaying in the park we visited the Purple badger on numerous occasions for breakfast and dinner. Each time the staff were incredible friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic, the pizzas in particular are lovely, fresh and really tasty. Was busy on occassion but the staff were so hard working and made the experience great. Would highly recommend

Used to have caravan there before John fowler bought the family run place Continue to go there to continue memories for my boys who have spent most of their years there from age 0 to 9

Lovely meal, charming staff and nice surroundings.

So difficult to find fault with this place, mainly because there isn't any. Great staff, beautiful food, well-kept beer etc. Well maintained, well lit, and comfortable, good car parking. Loved the friendly interaction with the many locals who frequent this holiday park venue and can fully understand why they use it. Looking forward to returning very muchly!

We really enjoyed the food here.

Delicious food, we have eaten here three times. Been Delicious every time. The takeaway pizza was probably the best we've had for a while. Breakfast was brilliant and the hash brown was super crispy and not oily at all. The salmon salad was light and...

It's end of season so quiet.. but food is nice and staff are friendly.. can't fault it..ps also the best smoking area I've seen out the back 😁👍

Come here regular for Sunday dinner, breakfast and normal meal food is amazing. And really friendly and helpful staff 5* from me

Great food and service. A true pleasure. Highly recommended. Would definitely visit again if back in the area.

Fantastic service and food. A real pleasure of an experience. Highly recommend

Had Sunday lunch Beautiful Good size portion Lots of veg and extra gravy

Kept an open mind and we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and great food here. Very happy to recommend the Purple Badger to anyone visiting the Llanrhiddian area of the Gower.

We stayed in a B&B 5 minutes from the place so it was a perfect choice for us to try We enjoyed sitting outside as the weather was pleasant , they have plenty of tables both outside and inside The food was really good, the...

Just had Sunday lunch here. Had lamb. Really nicely cooked and presented. Clearly vegetables were cooked to order and beautifully so. Roast lamb, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, big home cooked yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower cheese, stuffing, gravy and mint sauce. Fresh, hot, filling...

Loving the time at the purple badger & had most of my meals here - fab choice of seafood & the creamy dill sauce was amazing

Great food, lovely staff. Lost a star due to the place needing a bit of updating (think Phoenix Nights!)

Great food , especially the pizzas they now make , great staff too. I eat there quite allot and the food is always amazing

Food was amazing, staff friendly and helpful, very clean and modern. We were very impressed. Definitely will be returning.

i often eat at the Badger and since Cosmin took over the kitchen food is always amazing! 5 stars all the way! great food and quick service

Great food at the badger - would highly recommend the sea bass and homemade pizza! Great bar atmosphere too!

26 of us booked during summer holidays for a birthday celebration and the service and food was fantastic. How they managed it on what looked like the busiest day ever was just amazing. The chef came out and spoke to us before hand and adenit...

Popped in here impromptu after a day surfing nearby. Four hungry adults and three hungry teens. Wed passed a few places either full or closed or not serving food. I have to be honest we didn't have very high expectations and thought we'd be getting microwaved/frozen food. What we actually got was well cooked and flavourful chicken skewers, burgers, pizzas, salmon and mixed grill. Good hefty portions at a reasonable (but not cheap) price. The shop next door was great to stock up on supplies too.

The food was so delicious, and the staff very helpful, and the chef made the food just perfect for our taste and he came to our table to check on us , thank you and we come next year again 😌

Under new management in 2023, the staff seem really friendly, there is now a shop on site which is really handy as we live locally. The food in the purple badger is really good value. I had lunch and it was a good portion, the chips were delicious and everything was freshly made.

If you're looking for a delicious home cooked Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, look no further! All staff were welcoming with nothing too much trouble for them. The Roast meats were delicious. We ordered Beef and Lamb . Everything was gorgeous plenty of fresh...

Unfortunately we had a meal Monday night which was excellent and a 5 star but tonight we had a very long wait even though only 2 families were inside,the meals was not presented as nicely as Monday and the chicken was seriously pink. Maybe a change of chef tonight sorry we will not be eating tomorrow night for our last night on the park

Here for a family birthday meal - I’ve not been here before and wasn’t sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. The menu was extensive and I chose the linguine marinara - it was absolutely delicious and I couldn’t believe the amount of...

Good service and clean restaurant. Menu on website out of date so didn't have the ploughman's lunch I thought u was going to have. Ordered prawn sandwich, was asked whether I wanted ciabatta or brown bread. I opted for brown bread but it came as a brown seeded baguette cut in half. It was very nice but not the soft brown sandwich I was expecting. Tasty chips and side salad.

Not allergy friendly, food not fresh. Awful food poisoning after eating breakfast here. Food is not fresh and not prepared according to any standards, I was assured that it’s going to be gluten free and had very bad poisoning after eating here. I am sure the chef doesn’t follow food safety when preparing meal for person who has allergy . On top of that ingredients weren’t fresh, my toast if it even was gluten free was all burned.

An excellent family meal. Lovely food with excellent service, staff were friendly and polite. Already planning our next visit.

A little on the expensive side but REALLY nice food. Harvester prices but actually worth it. The beers good too

Family evening meal booked for 15 as staying locally the night before a wedding. Beautiful, hot food. Staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Went for Sunday Lunch and was very impressed . Beautiful butternut squash soup followed by roast lamb. My friend had prawn cocktail and beef . The meals were beautifully presented , everything cooked to perfection, very tasty and lots of it. We had honeycomb cheesecake...

Had a fantastic meal and staff were lovely. We have been a good few times and always had a lovely meal. Great for all the family and my 6 year old nephew enjoyed his kids meal. All 4 adults had different dishes and all enjoyed....

Once again, we had a lovely meal, staff were friendly and helpful and the meal itself was faultless. We have eaten here now on several occasions for lunch and dinner, and never been disappointed. The seafood dishes are top quality (my favourite being the monkfish)....

On a positive it was clean and the staff were lovely. My first visit for a few years , as food had become so bad when it was first taken over. Slight improvement, with some of the meals that were had, but nothing special. However...

Lovely venue beautiful views great for kids and most importantly excellent food

Fantastic place with great food and tons for the kids to do too! Love it 💯👍🏼

Cosim & Florina run the restaurant at the Purple Badger. It is in the holiday resort but visitors are welcome. The service was excellent, as was the food. I had monkfish and my husband seabass. We have heard Sunday lunch is good, so intend to...

We recently enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch at the Purple Badger. Yummy roast beef with all of the traditional accompaniments, making for a really enjoyable Sunday afternoon treat. Seasonal vegetables prepared by a Chef who clearly knows that overcooked, bicarbonate of soda sodden cabbage is...

Lovely place with a park in perfect view of the restaurant. Can relax whilst kids play. Also playing field there and a pool

We visited here on Sunday 11th June. It was a glorious day so we sat outside and waited for my daughter and grandchildren to arrive. The venue was superb and the children were entertained all afternoon by the Playground and football ground. We decided to...

Absolutely outstanding food here, definitely a cut above the rest around the area, we eat here most weekends as we have a caravan on site and it has improved 100%

Lovely place to eat. Children and pets welcome. Jamie was out server, made us very welcome. Deffinatley worth a stop.

Beautiful food and beautiful service!!! Thank you Jamie for the lovely first class service!! Park lovely and enclosed for the babies as well

What a find !! Amazing food. Best quality. Great choice. Great value for money. Excellent service. I have to say the best restaurant for North Gower.

Excellent food, delicious. the owner, chef came out to talk to us. Very friendly. Will definitely be back again 😊

We had one meal at this restaurant on an immaculate holiday park, enjoying the really good freshly-cooked food, large helpings and friendly, prompt service. There is a very wide choice of food in the restaurant, with the popular basics available at the bar or for takeaway. For the quality and quantity, the prices were fair. We can’t quite give 5 stars due to an accumulation of minor let downs: We had to ask for serving spoons for the vegetables and other ‘accessories’ that should have arrived with, or before the food. We would have liked to finish our meal with a coffee, as would another couple nearby, but the machine was either broken or turned off and there was no back-up like filter coffee. You have to go to the bar for your drinks and pay each time before going back to the table. The only non or low alcohol drink available was a sweet mixed fruit cider, when there are plenty of excellent low alcohol apple ciders available now. Local brewery Gower produce a very reasonable low alcohol IPA, and Guinness Zero is becoming popular. However, there isn’t much competition in the area and we would certainly eat here again. In fact, I've booked a caravan for a 3 day break on the holiday park!

Great food and excellent service, free parking and stunning views. Well done to Cosmin and bis team. Well presented.

Myself and 24 others relatives went for Sunday lunch after my daughter first holly communion. Great customer service .Food was excellent - probably one of the best we had lately. Beautiful restaurant with amazing views would definitely reconnect for special occasion. Thank you

Nice place,amazing food 👌,very well presented,friendly staff ,free parking,very nice view outside,under new management well done!

Unexpectedly Great food and service in this onsite pub restaurant. Well presented and priced. Lovely staff.

Had a great meal here. The restaurant is under new ownership thank god as it left a lot to be desired previously. It was very quiet when we attended but the quality of the food was very good and the staff were very attentive. I...

Just had superb lunch at the purple badger. No wonder they are rated five star. Took our friends from Canada and they were really impressed with the quality of food and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back soon.

Today I visited this location together with my friends for the first time, I was pleasantly impressed by the welcoming atmosphere, the very professional and kind staff. The food was extremely tasty, the presentation on the plate impeccable. I recommend this restaurant with all confidence, if you haven't been so far I encourage you to do it, you certainly won't regret it.

Fantastic food, great staff, good value for money. Will certainly have a meal again here. Enthusiastic new owner and chef.

Went for my niece 's 21st birthday. Amazing welcome and the food was outstanding. Thank you to Cos and wife for a lovely day .
