Quick glance: + fantastic food…read more+ value for money with set menu + seasonal menu + local ales and ciders (bottles) - tricky to find I came here on a Sunday in September (2011) for lunch, having read good reviews about the establishment elsewhere. The restaurant was slightly tricky to find because of its address (Parkmill in Swansea!) and the sat-nav wasn't particularly knowledgeable. We drove up, then down, the road and eventually found it. The slight mishap with finding it was worth our patience, as the restaurant offered top-notch food, beautifully presented using local and fresh ingredients. I had the pork belly with beautiful crackling, while my partner's order of Welsh beef was tender and juicy, served with homemade Yorkshire pudding. The mains also came with sides of seasonable vegetables that were fresh and sweet. You can also see the chef's love for food through not only the quality and taste but also the delicate presentation, completing the whole dining experience. The set menu at lunch was £15.95 for two courses and worth every penny, or £20.95 for three courses. I must say I was slightly disappointed by my dessert but that's just personal taste! (As at May 2012, the price has gone up slightly, now £16.95 for two courses Sunday lunch menu. By the way, Sunday's lunch menu has a wider selection than the set menu on other days!).

This newly converted building is more or less opposite the Gower Heritage Centre in Parkmill, so…read moreit's pretty accessible from Swansea. It is advertised as a restaurant with rooms which is what attracted us to visit as we passed one lunchtime, based on the consideration that you would be unlikely to make this claim unless you were at least trying to do good food. We weren't disappointed. Although there is no children's menu, the staff were welcoming of us as a family and arranged to make some slight modifications to the adult menu to make it more suitable for the kids. The place is modern, clean and attractive and the toilets are an absolute joy of spacious cleanliness. Having just returned from a week in France we were particularly delighted by that fact. The waiting staff are smartly dressed in black shirts and trousers, and are attentive without being smarmy or irritating. The lunch menu is extremely reasonable, from recollection being around £15 for two courses or roughly equivalent to go a la carte. We paid half price for the kids. On offer were three 'fine soups' which sounded so good we both opted for them. The ginger & parsnip soup was spicy and well-rounded, while the spinach, courgette & ricotta soup was nicely balanced and creamily rich. Delicious. They were served with a trio of good homemade breads (including chorizo and walnut flavours) which were also available as an extra at just £1. For mains, the children each wanted to have the cod in spring-water batter, with hand-cut chips. They eschewed the mushy peas for garden peas instead, and ketchup was also very kindly brought out to replace the tartare sauce. I had a breast of corn-fed chicken on a bed of mushroom risotto with very fresh, crisp green beans. It was good, and accomplished, although for my taste the risotto could have been slightly more creamy and perhaps a touch saltier. Mr Bristol had a salad of home-smoked chicken which was, again, accomplished. The desserts looked really good but sadly the children weren't behaving well enough for us to stay and sample them. When we tried to book to come back without children (under sixes not welcome in the evenings) so that we could have the full 3 course experience there, we found that unsurprisingly they were fully booked with cancellation lists also full. This is a testament to the high quality food on offer in pleasant, friendly surroundings and at a reasonable cost. We will definitely visit again. Well we did visit again, in August '09 although sadly we could only manage two courses. For the two of us to eat a two-course meal, plus a good bottle of wine, the bill was extremely reasonable at under £50. I started with the courgette and bacon soup which was most tasty although for me a little too well-seasoned, with perhaps an especially extra blast of pepper. Mr B had a home-made salmon gravadlax in whisky, with cream cheese and lime. The whisky was a mere hint on the salmon, which was absolutely spot-on: deliciously flavoursome and juicy. Our starters came with the trio of (presumably) home made breads including cashew nut & honey, something with cheese and a white/brown mix. All three breads were expertly baked and delicious. We both ordered the rib-eye steak, curiously and inaccurately described by the waiter as stringy when we ordered it rare, hence his suggestion (which we accepted) that it should be cooked medium rare. It was fantastic and accompanied by very good chips and a quite delicious bearnaise sauce. We were left waiting so long after this course that by the time a waiter finally arrived to ask whether we wanted dessert, the food had settled on our stomachs and we realised that we were too full to justify a dessert. A shame, because they really looked good!

The Ferry Inn is a very popular gastropub in an enviable position on the River Teifi. (The views…read moreare fantastic.) It has a cosy bar area, three inside eating areas with river views, two outside eating areas and a terrace to really enjoy the view. They are happy to accommodate diners with dogs (there are also dog-free areas) and it's very child-friendly (there's a children's menu, and some tables seat eight). The menu offers starters at £7.50-£7.95, mains around £18 (except fish and seafood at £24 and steak at £29), desserts at £7.50, as well as a choice of ice creams and sorbets (£3.50-£7.50). They offer a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. We chose Sea Bass served with Lemon Parsley Caper Butter, Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Garden Salad with Buckwheat & Broad Beans with Honey Mustard Sauce & New Leaf Microgreens (£24); and the one of the vegetarian options: Glamorgan Crumble a tower of Leeks, Carrot, Breadcrumbs & Mature Cheddar Cheese, Garlic & Herb Roasted New Potatoes, Glebelands Salad, Quinoa, Bean, Vegetable Salad & Fresh Herb White Sauce (£19.95). We followed this with Dark Cherry & Marzipan Bake Vanilla Ice Cream £7.50. Overall, the food was very good, except that the seabass was (disappointingly) over done and therefore falling apart. I always think it's a little odd serving a cold side salad on the side (or in my case underneath) a hot dish, although overall the flavours did work well together. The Glamorgan Crumble was very tasty. Service was a little manic: some staff seemed to run around all evening, and we were served by four different people during the evening. (One was very nice, two were a bit brusque.) They were busy, but we had booked (and were expecting) a table in the downstairs area with a river view, but were shown to a different part of the restaurant area. There were, however, a number of reserved tables which remained empty through the evening, so it seems like they had a few no-shows. Overall we had a nice evening: with two glasses of wine, the bill came to £75 for two, excluding service. It's firmly worth four stars, and of course you're paying for the location, but at these prices, getting the fish right and calmer service would land a five.

There is a very large pleasant garden where you can eat meals while still sodden from your sea activities. The path takes you in a kind of spiral up to the pub itself. Unfortunately the decor inside is very tired, apparently they don't think they need to update it while busy) and the prices of meals can be quite high. The main area is okay, but when they are busy they open up a larger area out back and upstairs to allow for overflow, and it is this area which feels more like a care home than anything else. You are sat with many other tables in a huge bland room with peeling wallpaper and no character, like downstairs. The food is, as I mentioned, quite expensive, but is usually of quite a high quality. It's just traditional pub food for the main, but occasionally you'll get a gem on the specials menu. But this place is excellent for a pint as you watch the sun go down over the water.

We were recommended this place by a very accomplished and successful chef, so it was never the view we were going for. Not that it's not a bonus of course - I mean, who doesn't want to sit and look out at a beautiful Welsh beach (and they do have some of the best in the world) when eating with friends and family? But in the evenings, it's just the sound of the waves and the food. So the food is really where it's at, as the Beach House has clearly built its superb reputation on that, not just its wonderful location. Such imagination here too. The amuse bouche was a little contrived and somehow didn't work for me, but I was still glowing from a superb Marmalade Martini so I let that one go. Starters of Oxtail ravioli and fresh mackerel were wonderful, delicate and incredibly fresh. Main courses of lamb and pork belly were beautifully presented and perfectly sized. The children's menu lacks imagination and doesn't reflect well on such an accomplished kitchen; but I suppose they are playing it safe so you have to forgive them for that. I made room for a Peach melba because the last time I had one it was probably shop bought back in the seventies, so I wanted to see what it was really meant to taste like. I can conclude that it was the perfect end to a very lovely meal. I'd love to have met the chef behind this place, Hywell Griffith - but after a Marmalade Martini and delicious bottle of Le Orme Barbera, I thought it best to pay my 'compliments to the chef' through his excellent and very chic manageress. Their website states: "We want all our guests to be happy" Well I think they've nailed that one. And that was without the view.

I should have written this review at the time, but now a couple of weeks later my memory is not perfect but I know I had a herby, crusted rack of lamb in just-right sauce, and Mr B had a fine breast of duck.
