PUBS LOCALLY (TEN MINS DRIVE) ARE..........

(THEY ARE ALL GOOD BUT PLACES WE REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD VISIT ARE MARKED >>  "VISIT"  ) 

The Britannia Inn - Llanmadoc - "formal dining if you want it but in a local pub atmosphere" has restaurant serving fresh local produce - excellent chef www.britanniainngower.co.uk Tel: 01792 386624 - 7 mins walk from the cottage. Great food, and always a fab sunday lunch, but really quality cuisine such as local sea bass, Hake, Gower salt marsh lamb and welsh black beef. Dogs allowed in bar for bar meals but not the more formal restaurant. "VISIT" 
  

Fairyhill Country House and Restaurant (Photo below) - excellent top end restaurant /country house cuisine, said by many to be Swansea's finest restaurant - and only 3-4 mins drive at Burry Green - very close indeed to Llanmadoc. Tel: 01792 390139 http://www.fairyhill.net/ (No Dogs inside) Dress Smart Casual (jeans and jacket is fine) and expect a semi-formal atmosphere. Has a nice drinks lounge prior to meals leather sofas etc ! Lovely gardens and grounds and best value here is to take a lunch in the summertime and eat outside. Very good wines. Since change of ownership in early November 2016 the atmosphere is now less formal/stuffy than it has been and far more welcoming and laid back but still retaining it's sheer class. You can go for a drink without having to eat, and / or just have a snack, e.g. just a starter, or just a main. "VISIT"
