The Valey in Swansea

Lovely village pub serves amazing food and local beer. We came for a late lunch and were impressed by the varied menu and the tastiest food and all very reasonably priced. Clearly the talented chef chooses the best local ingredients and presents great plates of food.

Outstanding value, very tasty food. We ate here after a walk. The prices were so cheap (£9 for a main meal of cawl) - that we didn’t have massive expectations. But the food was absolutely delicious. Home cut chips, delicious cawl. They also keep a perfect pint of Gower gold. We will definitely come back here when walking down the Gower. I don’t think you’d find anywhere which has good quality home cooked food for this price.

I've eaten at The Valley twice recently. Clearly, they have a good chef and I'd say they are using good quality ingredients. The menu shows some imagination from the usual boring standard of pub food. I'm not vegetarian but I had a beetroot burger and a cheese sourdough melt. Both where very tasty and extremely good value for money. My friends had beefburger and Cawl. Everyone enjoyed their food. All the food looked as if it had been made from scratch and there was some skill evident in the kitchen. I'm very fussy about eating out and I am usually disappointed but this was a real surprise. I use only organic meat and veg ingredients at home. I can't wait to eat there again and am recommending The Valley to friends. The staff were lovely they went out of their way to accommodate my friends wheelchair and there's good disabled access through the front door. Thank you chef, idk who you are but keep in doing what you're doing because you got the know how 👌

We popped in for a quick bite for lunch and were so glad we did. We were tempted by the sourdough baguette - lamb. Wow. They were crammed with lamb that was so well cooked, meat was really moist whilst the fat was crispy and sweet with just a hint of mint sauce. Delicious. Next time we’re in the area we’ll make sure it’s more than lunch we’ll be eating.

Excellent food and service.Call in frequently with dogs/grand children.Always a warm welcome.Can sit inside and be cosy or there is an outdoor seating area.Good choice of draught beers and selection of wine.New revamped lunch menu which is excellent value and superb quality.My husband had faggots peas and mash and I had the battered cod which was crispy and fresh and came with chips peas tartare sauce and cooked lemon wedge.Both meals came to under£15 in total.Thoroughly recommend this traditional pub.

Absolutely lovely place with brilliant atmosphere. If you’re staying in the gower local or not this is a must visit. Great service as well!

The Valley was the first pub we visited whilst on holiday on The Gower and we made lots of return visits! The bar staff were all really friendly and welcoming and also gave some great recommendations on places to visit nearby and the best dog friendly beaches. Very family friendly but with a nice calm environment. There are places to sit outside and also a seating area inside which is dog friendly. We ate a few times and food was excellent with a fantastic choice. The food was particularly good on weekends when the main chef was cooking, flavours and presentation were exceptional. 100% would recommend!

The chef REALLY knows what good food is. A fantastic understanding of flavour and a great variety of meals. Wonderful serving staff! Def the best meal around for quite a few miles!!

We visited this pub back in the spring after driving up from Langland bay.It was a great find as the food was really good.The pub is really nice so we decided to give it another go this summer.The waiting staff are great and the food did not disappoint but our visit (of which we traveled 20 miles to repeat) was marred by the chef who likes the sound of his own voice.He was loud and obnoxious whilst ordering/training his staff.Eating out is as much about the experience as the food Please turn the volume down as you may get your staff to stay with you. Gordon Ramsey you are not?

Really nice friendly service! Much better than one might expect from a pub. Extra delicious sauce from the chef when we asked. Menu looks a bit gastropub/same same but the specials delivered much more than that and the fish and chips was nice too. Only downer was that the condiment sauces were not good ones at all. More babaganoush please!

Delicious Sunday lunch. Lovely staff and service. Only issue was incredibly limited menu, and they'd sold out of chicken so only trust meat was beef, but it was lovely all the same.

We had a pleasant meal here and enjoyed the local cider. It did have large TV screens but we managed to ignore them Easy to book on a Monday night and the atmosphere was good

Been twice here during our stay in the Gower. Both times had excellent service, good quality food (including plenty of vegetarian options) and no booking required. Good value too.

My cousin and her partner came to stay the week before last and we went to The Valley for Sunday lunch. The fist thing we noticed was the amazing guitarist, playing brilliantly, it gave lovely ambience while we had lunch. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, charming or polite, we were promptly seated, given menus and drinks brought over. All three of us ordered lamb, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! The meat was perfectly cooked and tender, the Yorkshire puddings like clouds, and lots of dishes of well cooked vegetables, not too crisp, not soggy at all! All three of us stopped chatting and tucked in, despite having not seen each other for years, so delicious was the meal. Two of us finished off with Chocolate Fudge Cake and one with Sticky Toffee Pudding, sadly, although there was nothing to complain of, they weren’t homemade - the only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars. A great experience and I’ll certainly be back soon.

This was a great place to stop for lunch whilst meandering from Mumbles to the Gower - generously filled sandwiches, good pâté and a warm welcome from the lady of the house!

Really lovely spot, food & staff brilliant. Can’t complain about it. The cod & chips was amazing, large portion too👍🏻

Our very first trip to the Gower, and Sunday lunch was beckoning. We were not disappointed. The restaurant was packed with locals who knew a good thing when they saw it. Highly recommended

We stayed nearby for our holiday so we tried this pub one day for lunch. It was ok: not terrible but nothing mind-blowing either. If you're around and looking for a place to eat before or after a hike for example, it's worth a visit I guess.

Popped in here for a quick refreshing beer after a bit of a walk in The Gower. Not perhaps as inviting or friendly as its neighbour The Joiners but still a good pint and not bad value. Nice decor too but the smoking area at the back is might rough!

Gorgeous Sunday dinner for Mother’s Day today. Proper home cooked food and really reasonable. Brilliant service too

Good welcome and service. I had to leave my credit card behind the bar, to which I normally object, but agreed to on this occasion as I was dealing directly with the lady landlord I think, who appeared totally trustworthy. We ordered from the blackboard. Fairly good pub food selection, with prices lower than you would typically find in a good restaurant. The battered fillet of cod selction was interesting - you could choose large or small. Having walked 9 miles those of us who wanted cod went for the larghe. What an enormous piece of cod. Certaibly more than one mortal could comfortably eat! Had I known I'd have gone for the small and saved £4, and felt better afterwards. No complaints about quality with any of the meals ordered. and meals were enjoyed - particularly by the non-cod eaters! Beer selection was good. Would go again!

A friendly and welcoming pub. A good menu particularly for fish - we had fresh haddock cooked in butter and lemon - really delicious. Service was very good and we shall visit this pub next time we are in the Gower.

Enjoyed a very nice evening meal here during our holiday at May half term. Needed to find a dog friendly place as was drizzly and a bit chilly to eat outside. This ticked the box the staff were happy to have dogs in the bar area and we enjoyed a good lamb dinner that evening very tasty. We found the locals were happy to chat to us as well which put us at our ease as it is not always comfortable on Holiday with dogs if not able to find somewhere to go, especially if weather not warm.

Val ,the landlady is a great host,a really warm person. The pub is a typical country style with various beers and lagers including real ale. The menu is quite extensive and all fresh, my favourite is the large cod and chips and a pint of Reverend James.

Good value and friendly staff with on site parking .Varied menu representing value for money . A good local pub.

Fantastic food, we had the sunday roast, generous portions, excellent service, very friendly staff. We will definitely come here again.

Disfrutamos de una comida familiar para 5 que vino a £62 incluyendo bebidas. Los peces parecía realmente bueno con un montón de patatas y una salsa de eneldo sabroso. Tuve el curry vegetariano noche Jalfrezi por £5 que era excelente, verdura fresca, bien condimentadas. Yo recomendaría para un ambiente relajado, abundante comida de pub y volveremos sin duda.

He estado en el Valle (sic) antes y disfrutamos de la trucha. Esta vez, al ser un banco vacaciones, dijeron, la mayoría de los peces estaba lleno. Pero tenían alguna lubina, así que me decidí por eso. Cuando llegaron, era abundante y buena. La ensalada adornar y patatas nuevas eran buenas, básicas, carece de cualquier estilo. (Recomiendo el libro de Avoca en ensaladas si alguien quiere ofrecer algo delicioso e imaginativa.) En la misma vena, si quieres patatas fritas en el valle, están congelados.

Visitaremos el valle 6 o 7 veces al año y en 6 años nunca me ha decepcionado. Buenas cervezas y comida excelente. El servicio también es bueno, la mayoría del tiempo con una sonrisa ; - ). opción vegetariana decente, así como carne y pescado. Si vas por la versión grande de bacalao y patatas fritas asegúrate de que tienes hambre!

He estado aquí muchas veces para una bebida y para comidas y, aunque no es a veces el punto ocasionalmente, sobre todo cuando está lleno, la comida es muy buena. El menú parece cambiar diariamente para reflejar los mejores ingredientes disponibles. Hemos tenido una amplia variedad de platos aquí - todo, desde pescado fresco preparado compasiva, carnes asadas y pizza - todo bien y sirven bien en modesto, un entorno cordial.

The Valley is a lovely Pub on the outskirts of the Gower in Bishopston. It has a lovely, warm, friendly feel, cosy and inviting. A fine place full of character.The food is always delicious, especially the Sunday Roast, with ample vegetables. The Service is always very attentive and the prices are value for money.Family friendly. Recommended.

This was a really good meal, well served, well plated up and good value. I am gluten free and the steak was very tasty and safe.

This is a nice pub which serves very good food. You may have to book as it is very popular and fills up especially on weekends. The summer will probably be very busy there.

Excellent food, tasty real ale - Brains specially brewed for the 6 nations rugby. Very friendly staff. Would definitely eat there again.

Food expensive but very edible. I usually have lasagne Husband has the large cod. The chips are alway nice and brown and food is always hot Always full of customers including drinkers. Parking can be a problem.

A rather unwelcoming place with ok beer (I'm a CAMRA member). Felt as welcome as a fart in an astronaut suit! Food looked okay. Didn't order as wanted to get out after 30 minutes.
