The Shared Plate in Swansea

Super friendly restaurant and community initiative working as a non profit organisation. Food was delicious and service was second to none. Food was inventive and a nice change from fish and chips and standard pub fare. Great vibe and atmosphere. Everyone seemed so happy and enthusiastic. Will definitely come again when next visiting the Gower. Thank you

Das shared plate gehört zu einer Initiative, die Menschen auf verschiedene Weise zusammenbringt und unterstützt. Das Essen war super lecker, die Atmosphäre wohltuend ruhig und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder

We first went here in 2021 and were blown away by the variety and flavours. This year, the food was good, hot and well cooked but not very inspiring. A little overpriced and there wasn’t as much choice as when we went last year.

Wonderful wonderful food. Calm decor. Appropriate music, perfect volume. Lovely welcoming and attentive staff. Visit this restaurant and enjoy!

We chanced upon this restaurant and were made to feel most welcome. The food was imaginative and really enjoyable. Great gluten free options and plenty of vegan recipes too. They even allowed our dog into the restaurant.

Small portions, tepid food, gristly meat and dry potatoes. Gravy was nice though. I left hungry. I would recommend going somewhere else.

This is our third experience of The Shared Plate and it just seems to be going downhill. We admire the principles and objectives of The Shared Plate, that’s why we don’t mind paying over the odds to eat here but there are limits. The soup was tepid. The main courses were not warm and while we tolerate a lot when we share mutual objectives with a place I cannot eat cold Yorkshire pudding, the replacement was still not hot. The cauliflower cheese which arrived after we had finished lunch but that was partly our fault, was the only part of the meal that was hot and even then the bits that had not been pinged by the rays of the microwave weren’t warm. The staff kindly agreed not to charge us for this and we may just have let them off this unfortunate experience but when I got to the till not only had the cauliflower cheese been included but so had an extra beef dinner. I queried this and got a new bill, this included an extra pork dinner. The fourth attempt at getting the bill right was a success. Sadly, as we admire the enterprise, we will not be revisiting and my advice to others would be find somewhere more deserving. I know the excuse will be that some staff did not turn up but quite frankly I am getting tired of anything that goes wrong being anybodys fault but those present. Time to put the good back in service.

We stopped in not expecting to find a table, but they found us a space, and we are glad they did. What a real gem The Plate is, a wide range of dishes from differing influences, all lovingly prepared and very tasty. Also, we must note, portion sizes are perfect, allowing for a two or three course meal without feeling bloated and having over indulged. To combine this with the great cause it’s been set up to advance, this is not only a great place to eat in its own right, but it is also having a positive impact on the Swansea community. All in all, a great experience, one that we will be repeating as often as we can.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, epic menu with lots of things from around the world! Very friendly service so would 100% recommend! Stephen (our friend) even said he would go vegetarian with how good the Caribbean pumpkin curry was!

Absolutely love this place. We first ate here (lunch) the day after it opened in May 2021, having stumbled across it during a trip to Mumbles. We loved it so much we went for Dinner during our subsequent trip and have booked to go again this month (Nov 21). The staff were really friendly and told us it’s a not for profit community interest establishment, they strive to use locally sourced, in-season ingredients. What a great ethos! Food was healthy, wholesome, nutritious and most delicious. During lunch we had the most amazing rhubarb tart I’ve ever tasted. Our Dinner trip included an African dish that was apparently a recipe devised by an African refugee who worked with them (I think Somalian but unfortunately can’t remember), it was incredibly tasty, absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and decor is great, has a lovely Bistro feel. Can’t wait to go back, highly recommend - 10/10.

First visit after recommendation from family. Warm friendly environment with good background music. Both waitresses really helpful and friendly. Vegetarian and non veggie options both excellent. Some great local ingredients cooked perfectly without over elaborating. Reasonably placed drinks. My lemon some was perfect. For the price it was very high quality. Will definitely be back.

The food was excellent, freshly cooked and locally sourced. The wine pairing was also excellent as recommended by the waitress. All flavour combinations were well thought out and nothing on the plate was unnecessary.

Came here for dinner. The restaurant has a lovely ambience. We had the mussels and frites. Everything was tasty and fresh. The only complaint would be the portion size was on the small side.

We came across the Shared Plate by chance, as didn't find it by searching for restaurants in the Mumbles. The food was interesting, well-presented, well-priced, great ingredients, and totally delicious. All the staff were incredibly genuinely warm and helpful. Excellent chef brought our food to the table... such a great touch. Cannot recommend this place enough, and wish the Shared Plate a long and prosperous future.... keep doing what you're doing!

Cannot fault this restaurant. Visited on a busy Sunday, but such a lovely relaxed place. Service was fantastic, food absolutely delicious. Best roast potatoes I’ve had in a restaurant. Prices incredibly reasonable. Have just found out that it’s a CIC so feel even better that we went there and not a chain. Would thoroughly recommend and will return at some point during our stay.

Came across this delightful place whilst on holiday, there were 5 of us and a dog. A table was made up and the dog was welcomed. Water was given to. My 15 year old daughter would have sat here all day. It’s a very chilled atmosphere, something for everyone on the menu. The food was delicious all locally sourced. This is a non profit establishment with all monies going back in to the community. Staff friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Ate here with my son last week. The menu is very interesting and all the food we ordered was very tasty, we ate outside for 10% less. I will definately be visiting again,staff lovely too!

Really enjoyed our visit to the Shared plate. We were outnumbered by small children and yet us adults we had a really luxurious experience, delicious food and wine, beautiful surroundings and the kids were welcomed too and well catered for. Really sweet end to our...

A delicious, perfect lunch in beautiful surroundings . Locally sourced food- the most delicious mussels and a community interest company. What more could you want. This will be our go to restaurant now and will be recommending to our guests staying in our holiday cottage....

Amazing food and amazing ethos, a non-profit restaurant where profits go back into the community. Plenty of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options and everything. Staff just as amazing! Can not recommend it enough!

Honestly the best dining experience in Wales! Icing on the cake was when Amber our waitress said all profits go to local community based projects. Wow wow wow!! And the food is made with so much love and harmony. Even if you come here for...

Outstanding food of great quality. I love the not-for-profit ethos of the place too & that their food is in season & locally sourced where possible. A lovely relaxed & friendly atmosphere. Will be back many times again.

We had a wonderful meal at the shared plate. The food is really special and unique, I had the amazing blackened cabbage which was out of this world, as were Hamda’s gnocchi with browned sage butter. It was also such a lovely atmosphere, really comfortable...

Food is gorgeous and so is the restaurant, decor is just sublime! Staff are a pleasure and very friendly. Restaurant also has organic/vegan friendly soaps, dried fruit and grains. Cakes looked lovely but we were too full to try. Such a nice energy, we would...

Absolutely incredible food, completely delicious and in a very relaxing atmosphere. They totally understood our allergies and took care to explain each dish. Morgana our waitress was wonderful, attentive and friendly. I couldn’t love this place more and would highly recommend. They have fantastic vegan...

We made a last minute decision to have dinner at the Shared Plate and so happy we did... the food was delicious and the waitress friendly and attentive without being overly so. Can recommend the sea bass and moules

Popped in for a coffee and snack and was so glad I did! I went for a vegan carrot salmon brioche roll and an oat latte which were both delicious paired with great service.

Lovely place to eat. The staff are lovely too. Good quality food using good quality ingredients. Perfect place for a date night.

Called in for Sunday lunch having been given the recommendation. Food was absolutely fantastic, salt marsh lamb and gower silver back beef to die for. Excellent service as well. Highly recommended. a great find and will be back for sure.

Popped here for some lunch over the weekend and had a delicious vegan toastie with smoked tofu and a lovely oat latte. The food is fresh and something different to what you would usually find in mumbles. Would recommend!

Was concerned about not having booked anything but made very welcome, opted for beef Sunday roast, absolutely delicious, home cooked, fabulous roasties and lovely mix of veggies, think it's only recently opened, one of the tastiest meals in a long time and one of the...

Eaten here three times and consistently excellent. Fresh, creative, flavourful food, decent portion sizes and great value. The menu seems to change regularly, and on Fridays they link up with the brewery next door and do a meal and a pint for a tenner. We...
