The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear. I had the mixed grill, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife had the Gammon which she thoroughly enjoyed. The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.

The coffee is good, the food is excellent (breakfast and beyond) and the staff are little rays of sunshine. The seating is indoors, outdoors, and the restrooms are clean. I'm vegetarian and he is Muslim, and we were able to find great snacks and full meals at this place without issue. If you are in Swansea - please try this place. Opens at 9 and closes at 10.

We feel incredible lucky to live so close to such a fantastic place…read more Recently opened after selling veg from a barn, the Cwmcerrig Farm Shop and Grill is Wales' only Farm Shop of its kind. The fruit and vegetables are always beautiful and fresh, the meats are produced there on site and are delicious and nicely priced. The speciality sausages are lovely and there is stacks of other produce too, all local. Things like bread, cheese, eggs, icecream, cakes, preserves and much more. 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!

One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Served with a choice of either fries or chunky wedges (think roast potato wedges and you'll get the idea). The cafe makes its own hot sauces and strawberry jams, all of which you should try if you get a chance as they're all scrumptious. You can even buy jars of the sauces to take home. Service is warm & friendly and you're made to feel incredibly welcome the second you walk in the door to the moment you leave. If you're on the lookout for something a bit more genuine and satisfying than what the nearby commercial chains can offer this is the place!

This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

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!

SALMON, OTTERS & DUCKS The Daily Telegraph wrote: Henry Williamson,…read moreborn in 1895, served in the trenches during the First World War. This extremely sensitive, highly strung and romantic soul never recovered from the horror and the disillusionment he experienced in Flanders. From 1921 onwards he buried himself in the little North Devon village of Georgeham, seeking an escape from inner torment by exploring and writing about the wild and unfrequented landscapes of Exmoor. Growing up in the London suburbs, I was eternally gratefully for his highly-acclaimed works 'Salar the Salmon' and 'Tarka the Otter' which would instantly transport me to my beloved North Devon, where I spent so many happy times visiting family during the summer school holidays; a real home from home. My parents went back to their original home there upon retirement and I still visit my mother there when possible. Tonight we must go the Rock at Georgeham, she announced during a recent visit, so go we did. I had a vague memory of having gone there many years ago, but vague it remained. It is essentially an old timbered pub, with a modern conservatory. Food is served in both areas and we decided to sup some Rioja in the traditional area. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/067bf03a.jpg The menu is very convincing and even more so the specials menu, which is displayed on a board but also available in print. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/4ac9c2a0.jpg I thought that that the 'Georgeham cured ham' sounded pleasingly alliterative, poetic or whatever, and it certainly did not disappoint. The pan roasted duck breast was sensational, although I did not take so well to the 'gooseberry tarte tatin' which was 'tarte by name and tart by nature'. I think duck really deserves something a bit sweeter, but if anything it was my fault because I chose it. La contessa and la dowager contessa were delighted with their choices. Reasonable prices, excellent food, great ambiance and also friendly staff who definitely seemed just that bit more professional than average. Do take a look at the excellent website and if you are in that neck of the woods, you will not regret visiting.
