Pub in Mumbles

“Perfect place to host a birthday meal with friends. We had the upstairs area and it was ideal. The staff couldn't do enough to accommodate and the food was fabulous as ever. Can't recommend enough, thank you for making my 30th birthday!”

“The Pilot Pub in Mumbles, although quite small, was very welcoming. The bar staff were really friendly. They’ve got a good selection of different craft beers and the atmosphere was great. It was my first time visiting, but I felt very welcome. Thank you.”

“We had a weekend with family in the Mumbles and decided to visit the Vic for a couple off beers to throw some darts and watch the final day of the premier league. All was great until the final whistle when some old 70* 7 day 1 pint drinker decided it was ok to abuse my family and Son. Whilst I understand locals may not like tourists frequenting their bars I would argue that if it wasn’t for the tourist then many of their bars and restaurants would be shut. While we may have been a little loud/ excited at the results we were very respectful restful and put some money behind the bar. A nice holiday tarnished by an old fossil who has nothing better to do than aggravate tourists….”

“No food served, but good pint and cheap. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.”

“Starters are tasty and unusual. The main dishes are the usual dishes from any good restaurant but in curry seasoning”

“Absolutely loved this place! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a fantastic selection of drinks. The food was spot on — fresh, tasty, and served quickly. It’s the kind of pub where you instantly feel welcome. Will definitely be coming back”

“Staff very friendly rooms clean and tidy also dog friendly nice pub next door”

“A must-visit place whenever we visit eldest at university. Great beers, nice seating just across the road overlooking the bay and was lucky enough once to come on a Sunday night when some beers were £3.50 a pint with free cheese and crackers to sample too!”

“Lovely micro pub with friendly locals. OK range of beer and wine, including a double fridge for take outs. Lots of pale ales. Had 3 roughly 4% pales out of 8 taps when we went.”

“A great old fashioned real ale pub. Get them to put the fire on for you. They don't do food but are cool about you bringing your own. Very popular with the Mumbles locals. Wide range of local craft beer, perfectly stored and served.”

“Lovely meal asked for extra roast potatoes and gravy and got them, enjoyed, will come back again.”

“Such a lovely venue, not to mention the really lovely and well thought out menu. The meal was also amazing. Service was fab. Definitely be returning next week for more! Fair priced for the great meal we had”

“Was here on a Sunday morning for breakfast. A great welcome when I arrived, very friendly staff. A good selection of options for breakfast including veggie options. I didn't notice if they had a vegan option so you may want to check with them before you go. No steps to enter the premises from the street so easy access. Food was reasonably priced, well presented and was delicious. I'll be back and I recommend it for breakfast. Thank you!”

“Nice brunch options, good poached eggs. Good food, lovely atmosphere, decor and outdoor terrace seating overlooking the sea.”

“Always come here with my friends when I come back home, a great traditional pub, very well run.”

“Great spot!!! Awesome selection of beers, amazing tunes (credit where credit is due!), food was outstanding - chicken tacos 10/10 - and the staff are all so warm and friendly. Very special vibe going on at Elwyns, 1000% worth checking out for a meal and a drink, made our trip! Thank you all from the kiwi and Aussie ;)”

“So glad the Sunday roast is back - did not disappoint! So tasty with a lovely variety of veg. Delicious cauliflower cheese - I am always on the hunt for a really good roast out and the secret may have just become one of my top spots. Would highly recommend!”

“Came here with my daughter for my 60th birthday celebrations,all staff took the time to say happy birthday to me and decorated a margarita for me and also gave me a free drink for my birthday the service was great and the cocktails were lovely”

“We called and booked lady on phone said only had seating in the bar which was ok . When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely lady who made us fell welcome and showed us to our table. The menu is mixed with a good choice. Everything was really tasty good value and cooked to perfection. They even offered potatoes and veg with no butter as Jane is always on a diet. Great place definitely book thankyou we cannot wait to go back.”

“We went to visit The Mumbles and found this place for some lunch. The initial welcome was warm and inviting. The menu options were good. Drinks came along quite quickly, food was good timing too. The food was fresh and delicious. Views were awesome. I would eat here again ☺️”

“What a great local bar. We were in Wales for a few days and came across this bar. Really nice atmosphere and lovely staff”

“Lovely place, amazing food and wonderful stuff! I went in on my own on a whim while on holiday, and they managed to squeeze me in despite me not booking. Food was delicious and fresh and I was really looked after by the fabulous and friendly team! The prawns and scallops were amazing! Best lunch ever!”

“Literally perfect. Lovely room, great service, super staff and a delicious breakfast. Location was ideal being next to the Bistrot Pierre where we’d booked dinner (which was excellent though the restaurant in the pub would probably have been as good), parking very close and right next to the seafront promenade for a walk. We’ll be back!”

“Once again had an enjoyable meal here (16.5.25). The food was all lovely as usual. Our waitress Laura was really good and very patient with us all (there were 11 in our party). They had a special menu for gluten-free and also one for lactose. The management were also friendly, lovely people who made us feel very welcome.”

“We come here in a group to watch the international rugby union matches. The food, beers and drinks are great, and as it’s packed on match days the atmosphere is excellent. There are plenty of large TV screens to choose from however the one on the wall before you go out to the garden area has had a very poor quality picture for a long time. Generally the sound speakers are badly positioned and the audio sound is poorly synched/coordinated with the screen action and the volume is not loud enough. These systems would benefit from the services of a professional to review and evaluate the quality of the screens and audio functionality and to upgrade the system to provide a better sport viewing quality experience for regular and loyal customers.”

“I've always found art galleries to be quite intimidating places, with aloof staff, and populated by pseudo-art experts. Not a bit of it with the Slate gallery. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and completely informal, and with a stunning array of pictures available for sale. I was fortunate enough to be shown around by the proprietor, Ceri Williams, who was patient, helpful and very accommodating. The artwork on sale showcases Ceri's amazing versatility - pastel-coloured beach scenes, worked in acrylics, local views over Swansea bay, with storm scenes that capture the anger and energy of the weather with her brilliant cloud-work, and ink drawings of dogs, which convey the motion and energy of their movement. After all this, and after buying 3 pictures, there is an opportunity to relax in there informal cafe and bar on the ground floor, populated by friendly local people. This is a unique gallery experience, and I'd recommend it to anybody, even if you only want to browse Ceri's remarkable works, and enjoy a coffee afterwards! Definite 5-star rating!”

“I hope Robert can see my this review I always used to stay in this hotel while staying in Swansea. The hotel is very clean and tidy their food is pretty good as well, owner Robert is a very humorous bud loves to make you laugh and smile with his jokes!”
