The place is is located a 15 minute walk from the center of town - unless it is cold, windy or rainy (never happens in Wales right?!) a very pleasant walk to enjoy the views and the fresh hour. However don't feel obliged to park in town and walk if you don't want to as there is ample parking by the pier based on our experience. The restaurant is clean and has both inside and outside seating with prompt and friendly service. A playerless piano plays music for you while you dine. Walk through a door after breakfast and there you are in an extensive amusement arcade - fun! And then there is the pier itself with its views and bracing fresh air. Another option is to climb some steps up to a cliffs above (behind the cafe) from which you can enjoy further views. Fun place to visit!!

Waiting, had time to look at the menu for the Pier Cafe (http://www.mumbles-pier.co.uk/pier/menu.pdf ) and gaze around the ornate Cafe interior - chandaliers, polished wood floors and tasteful wicker chairs. Wonderful views over Swansea Bay from the huge windows - light and airy feel inside. Cheerful little tables outside for warmer weather or hardy smokers. Plenty of choice on menu along with pretty Ice Cream & Soda Bar to lure the young ones (if they actually need any luring when ice cream is mentioned - but the Bar just makes sure). Highly recommended, especially in colder months if just paid 50p to brave the Pier extremeties (perhaps to visit the Ape Lady ) and need a warming liquid and nourishment reviver.

Wow! We learned about The Baker's Table on a Talgarth Mill brochure left at our AirBnB in Penderyn,…read moreon the other side of Brecon Beacons park... We were heading back to London the next day, and at first thought "too bad this isn't on our way home," but the next morning decided we wanted to see more of the park anyway, as well as a few other points north before our weeklong adventure adjourned... What a pleasure it was to stop here on that dreary morning! When we arrived around 10:30am, the whole place was bustling with what turned out to be a tour group of retirees, about to tour the historic adjacent mill. The setup is counter service style: order your items, take your number and choose a table (indoors or outdoors). Most of the indoor tables overlook the brook running through the mill; the outdoor tables are in the courtyard of the mill buildings. They don't have a true breakfast, per se, but they have teas, coffee/espresso drinks, breads, cakes and cookies available all day, most of which are made using grains locally harvested and milled right there. There are some gluten free options available as well. At 11:30, their lunch menu is available and features sandwiches, soup and salads, all made from locally sourced, processed and grown Welsh foods. We were still finishing up our morning coffee, enjoying the chill vibe of the place (especially after the tour group moved on - haha!) by the time lunch was available, so we decided to stick around a little longer and try it out too! After much deliberation about how to best sample their offerings (everything sounded AMAZING), we opted for a soup/sandwich combo with the ham, cheese & mustard sandwich and fresh garden pea and mint soup, along with a "board" that included salad, two cheeses, local ham, an apple, fresh cherry tomatoes, house chutney and fresh bread. So simple, but so delicious!! We ate it ALL... I can't recommend enough the sheer quality of this real, simple but delicious local food. Other items to note: Credit cards require a £10 minimum charge. Locally made gifts and gourmet food items are available for purchase. Restroom entrance is in the courtyard, but there are public toilets in the adjacent building, facing the street as well. Free Wi-Fi. Check out the Talgarth Mill Craft Shop next door if you are looking for locally made Welsh treasures to take home. Free parking (and recycling drop-off) is available a couple of short blocks away, just off the highway. The Talgarth visitor's centre across the street is there for all kinds of information about the area, or, if you'd just like to converse with the friendly locals.

Not only is it a farm shop but also the best carvery in the area. The carvery is also a cafe and they do breakfasts and light lunches as well as hot food on non-carvery days. Get there early though (half eleven) if planning a carvery as the queues are huge!

We were staying on the Gower and I asked some of my family what they thought we should do for breakfast. They said all day Gower breakfast? I said, what do you mean? they parried, you know, in Scurlage. No, I don't know, what all day Gower breakfast in Scurlage? You know it, by the strawberry picking. I think that conversation gives you some idea of how great the Gower is. Anyway we found it courtesy of a big sign stating 'ALL DAY GOWER BREAKFAST ?' on the windy road through Scurlage. It's a little café which is actually a farm where they've clearly thought 'why not have a café?' There is also a farm shop and nursery (plant kind, not children, although hilariously plant means children in Welsh) so you can pick up some sprouters or a souvenir gift or eggs etc. (you know, the usual.) The café overlooks the rolling hills and dales of the Gower and the friendly, ruddy-faced women behind the counter cheerily asks what do you fancy, then? I go for the by now famous All Day Gower Breakfast which consists of bacon, sausages, egg, beans, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes and tea or coffee. For £3.95. SWOON. My comrade has the same without any meat and the kind lady gives her a pound off. We sit and eat in the bright Autumn sun, reading the newspapers they have on offer (only the Mail and the Mirror but at least it gives a genuine taste of working class Wales). We become satisfactorily full. We then spend two hours trying to not feel full by walking around the coast and taking photos of me jumping off benches (it's my profile photo wow I hear you cry - now it all makes sense)

We took the family here as our first time eating there, and we have never been more disappointed or embarrassed with the food - especially after hyping it up to the parents just how good this place is supposed to be. We all began with a sharer starter which consisted of Glamorgan sausages, olives, chorizo, dipping bread, and (I forgot the name) bacon wrapped around prunes/dates. Most of this was pretty tasty in all fairness, besides the olives which for some reason seemed to be pickled, or at least heavily doused in something acidic - these were not nice at all and not what we expected when ordered. This was all fairly tame and not much of an issue. The mains however... Two of us, including myself, had the pork belly. The menu only mentioned that there was going to be pork belly, purple sprouting. cider gravy and black pudding. What arrived was a big plate of unpleasant surprises. There was a few sprigs of *regular* broccoli sprouting, which was hidden amongst all the less desirable asparagus - neither of these are substitutes for purple sprouting! The potatoes were drowned in what seemed like half a jar of mustard - even if I did like mustard, this would have been way too much and killed whatever other flavour was there; having some with the pork still tasted overpowering. The gravy was very sparse and didn't give add much moisture or flavour to the pork. The pork skin/crackling was really thin and chewy instead of being crunchy. To give credit where it's due, the pork was quite nice, it just needed some gravy and more attention to its crackling. The flavours on this plate just generally did not mingle well at all. Also we didn't realise that we were not given black pudding until 2 thirds of the way through our meal. Cobbles did compensate us with free cake as desert so I will not knock them for the black pudding. Unfortunately this doesn't make up for the rest of this disastrous meal. One of us had the 'white' (why not just say the fish?) fish and chips. This was largely fine apart from the triple cooked chips. These chips looked like beastly wedges of quartered potatoes, and go figure, they were really under cooked and firm in their centres and the skins were not very crisp. Triple fried chips done wrong is quite an impressive feat for the Welsh Restaurant of the Year... My partner had the vegan to-fish which we all agreed was the most miserable dish out of all of us. The chips were the same as previously mentioned, but the 'to-fish' was just a huge slab of tasteless, un-marinated, unpressed tofu wrapped in a sheet of seaweed (forgive the lack of proper name for the seaweed, my memory can't recall). Granted, the seaweed tasted kind of fishy, but it did not cut through and balance well with the big watery sponge of tofu. It seemed like a really poor effort on what was an attempt at a vegan fish and chips. We appreciate the inclusiveness of vegan items on the menu, but please do not put something so slap-dash and tasteless on there. As feedback we suggest battering or frying the tofu, or perhaps do a battered mushy pea fritter instead which we have known some chippies to do. But as it is, it is just an expensive and tasteless insult. Just an additional note, we were sat right next to the kitchen's music speaker. It was quite deafening for my partner who was sat there, and couldn't make out the conversation we were having after being blasted with Linkin Park in one ear, and Ed Sheeran in the other. Not all bad though! The service was lovely, and the cakes were delicious. Including the vegan Oreo cake (you really wouldn't know it was vegan). I will always credit a restaurant for sourcing their meat locally and free range too. If this restaurant becomes honest with their customers by coming clean with what is out of stock and what will be on the plate when the food arrives, then maybe this could have been a 3 star review. Tweaks to the vegan menu is much needed also.

Options include a comprehensive veggie full English, and huevos rancheros (scrambled eggs with chili, onion and tomato). For a healthier choice you can have porridge with banana and honey, or fruit salad with yoghurt and museli. There are homemade salads, pastas and tapas for lunchtimes, and in season the cafe opens in the evening (give them a call beforehand to check). We had great tapas for our wedding anniversary last year - not quite what we'd planned, but somehow better for it. The whole place is chilled out, comfortable and friendly, and is a great place to curl up with the papers over a massive breakfast.
