Came for Sunday dinner today and couldn’t fault it. The service was warm and friendly from the start. Order food and drinks at the bar and all staff were so nice. Sunday roast was so tasty, we both had beef and it was cooked perfectly. Tasty and cut into it like butter. Rest of the roast was fresh and everything was tasty. Being a proper Yorkshireman the best part was the gravy! Tasted proper beefy and not had gravy like that since moving to Wales. Would definitely come back, thank you :)

I'd heard the food was good and was not disappointed, ordered at 3.30pm but unfortunately they'd run out of beef, I say unfortunately it was actually fortunately for me as i ordered the lamb and it was incredible! Absolutely superb. Nice chilled environment too. Thank you.

Buttermilk chicken burger and Glamorgan sausages were both lovely dishes, maybe some cheese on the burger would be good but tbf I didn't ask if that was possible and probably is. The lady serving was really friendly, good prices, will be back.

Ordered vegetable chilli. No beans no chillie spice. It looked more like a ratatouille. A few people in my party also had very poor food. Worse than a ready meal . Chicken in the green tai curry looked like rubber. Would not recommend.

Very nice , me and the wife have stopped there quite a few times over the last couple of weeks. Nice beer . Something I have to say is that they need to sweep up outside the cigarette ends (bloody smokers).but thats most pubs these days . (If i ran a pub i would be on that straight away), really does put one off sitting outside. anyway , excellent service. Would go again . Overall very good

Food was ok took 30 mins for the first meal to come after ordering but time between first meal coming out and last meal was almost 20mins then the vegetables came 5 mins after we all had finished. And there were only 4 of not like it was a table of 10+ and it wasn't that busy either. Will avoid in the future.

Booked 2 people for 1230, food arrived 1310, first meal arrived and second meal took another 10 minutes. At this time the pub was pretty quiet. Ordered chicken but ended up with pork on the one meal plus a lot of veg was missing, the other meal was cold, carrots were hard and crunchy. Asked for it to be heated up but came back drowning in gravy. When the server came back to us, she told us that the chef was "having an off day". Not really a great thing to say to customers. Possibly a coincidence but both diners have slightly off stomachs that night.

Came from Newcastle to visit family, always go to the Westbourne for Sunday lunch but today was terrible, we waited 30 minutes,the meal was cold the chicken was tough and hard the roast potatoes weren't cooked and the gravy was like water, and don't get me going about the forest on the top of it. I will never be going back and my best score would be 4 out of 10

We booked a table for 4 at 1-30.for Sunday lunch, we ordered food and didn't get it until well over an hour after we ordered when it arrived all the vegetables were on the plate and the gravy one plate was swimming in gravy another not so much. The food was good, but cold, not what we had expected. The last time and every other time we visited the Westbourne service was quick. The food was hot, vegetables came in separate dishes, and the gravy in a gravy boat so we could decide how much gravy we wanted and the same with the vegetables . I was quite disappointed with my last visit.

We went in and just as we sat, the lady working there immediately showed up saying excuse me! You can't sit without ordering. Absolutely horrible treatment and we were shocked. It killed the vibe. We went onto order some coke anyway. The glass was disgusting as it had lipstick marks on it, raising questions about the cleanliness of this place. The staff was super unfriendly and too busy chatting with someone. Never visiting again even though it's closer to my house. 👎

I asked for some cucumber with my daughter's meal, which I was happy to pay for, but they added it at no extra charge. Was also pleasantly surprised that meals for under fives are free with an adult meal. The food was delicious and the portions were huge! Glad to see the pub open and busy again, and with such a warm atmosphere.

Visited the pub today for a lunchtime meal with a friend. I was so disappointed with the quality of everything, unfortunately the place seems to have gone down hill since I last visited probably over a year ago now. I had a burger which was raw in the middle & very bland over all, the chips were fried so much that they were just full of oil & so crispy there was no filling left in them! The table we sat on was sticky & dirty (there were only 2 other tables of people in the entire pub). The interior of the pub is also very tired & in need of repair/refurbishment, the music was blasting.. far too loud for a daytime meal! I'm afraid to say the overall experience was really not good! 😞

Sorry for the 2 stars. I like the venue for a quick drink and the staff are so lovely But the quality of food we received during our last visit was not good. Table was booked in advance, but was not big enough to hold every one. People had to sit on the edge of the table with no space for a plate. And some of the food was raw. Especially the burgers. But we did get a refund for them. Will only visit for drinks from now on Sorry

Would have give 2½ stars but you can't do ½ star so given it a 3. Absolutely gutted to have had to give this place such a low score because we had heard great things about the food here!! It was not great! My partner and I called in here on Wednesday 1st June for lunch and a drink. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who asked us to look at the menu and then order our food & drinks at the bar. Decided on our meals and ordered. Drinks quite pricey! A ginger beer and pint of Carling was £7!! Food arrived, I ordered Cod & Chips, my partner had the Beef dinner. Cod was good size and batter was light, chips were OK and good size portion of mushy peas. My partners food was awful though!! Beef was so grissely you could barely chew it, carrots were disgusting, spongey and had a really strange taste, sweed came cubed not mashed and were solid, Roast Potatoes were so salty. Gravy was already on the food, not served in a boat and was lumpy and far too salty! My partner was only able to eat her boiled potatoes, cabbage and yorkshire pudding, after she scraped off the gravy! Her dinner was inedible! Her dinner cost £8.99 and was disgusting. My partners plate was almost as full when we left as when it was served!! Won't spend our money here again. The place wasn't even busy, at the time, apart from the 2 of us, only 3 other people were eating, so it can't be blamed on that! Extremely disappointed, what a waste of money!!

She was very impressed. They have a good range of vegan/dairy free and gluten-free options. Only complaint is that they ran out of gluten-free beer (I had 3) All in all a very pleasant experience.

I have waited several weeks before writing this. I rarely post negative reviews, particularly not for small independent venues. But the price of 2 pieces of cheese on toast costing £10.95 is still irritating me. I didn’t look at the bill until sitting back down and my bank account flashed up the amount. I went back to the counter and asked if this was correct. Then to add insult to injury, we had nearly finished our coffees and my wife went to the counter to check where the cheese on toast was. No apology from the staff, and they said it was waiting in the kitchen as they couldn’t remember what table ordered it. You would expect sour dough bread or some, artisan crafted speciality bread and a fine local Welsh mature cheddar for this price. What we received was big standard supermarket sliced brown bread and a meagre layer of big standard supermarket cheese, that barely covered the cardboard toast. It was now barely tepid and ranks as the worst and most expensive cheese on toast we have ever had. Our cake was good but I overpriced, and the coffee was OK, but no where near as good as numerous other coffee shops in Swansea. Positives are: venue is nice and clean, staff friendly but somewhat dopey. It’s a shame they demolished my old school Ty-Coch. I am sure the catering ladies would have done a better job
