About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for fine wines
Hiraeth; a term unique to Wales and Welsh culture, an intangible pull on the heart that conveys a deep sense of belonging, the desire to return to the place of one’s birth, to come home. For The Shed Restaurant and Executive Chef Jonathan Woolway, our place in the world is happily Swansea.
Composed along the expanse of Swansea Bay, flanked by the Gower Peninsula and Brecon Beacons, within striking distance of the fertile valleys, coastal plains and farmland of West Wales, the Waterfront City of Swansea sits at the beating heart of nature’s larder. Bounties of the season from land, sea and pasture are at our fingertips.
Our daily changing menus reflect a constant creative evolution, making use of local produce at the very place and moment of their seasonal prime. This begins in the kitchen and is realised at the table; Egalitarian, convivial and accessible to all. Full in heart and generous of spirit.

    Excellent Sunday lunch; beautifully cooked lamb, and maybe the best ever gravy - a huge boatful too, and proper mint sauce. Fantastic mussels and fishcake too and delicious puds. The best Sunday lunch in Swansea, without doubt.

    Sadly, my family and I were disappointed by the quality of the food given the price charged. Expected something special, for a special occasion but in our opinion it was just average. Elaborate menu pitty the food didn't match. Interior deco ok, needs some softening to create more ambience & atmosphere.

    Had a wonderful meal last night - the spicy margherita cocktail was delicious. We would like to have tried the braised beef special however this had sold out. The fish, cauliflower cheese was delicious. We couldn’t decide which dessert to go for - choc dessert was scrumptious! The staff were helpful snd attentive. Wish this restaurant well go and support it!

    Good and service was good. The menu (Sunday) was a little limited - no main course seafood or fish.

    Such a lovely evening at The Shed. Food was impeccable and the waiting staff were the right balance of attentive and friendly without being too formal or overbearing. We will definitely be back.

    Been meaning to try Shed since it opened in Swansea ans a suitably damp day proved the impetus. Lovely smiley friendly greeting, space to choose a table. Started with cockle croquettes to get us going. Rather tasty followed and by a fabulous crab. Main was hake, perfectly cooked. The malt creme bruelle was one of the best I've had and I've eaten a few in my time. Service throughout was relaxed and never to intrusive. If you ever find yourself in Swansea on a damp/sunny/cloudy day, and looking for a place to eat. I'd definitely give The Shed a go.

    Starter and main were both superb. We had the two course Sunday lunch menu and the starters were really fresh and well balanced. Lovely fresh veg sides in the Sunday roast main, with meat cooked perfectly. Service was impeccable. Best meal I have had in Swansea.

    Me and a friend booked a table at kitchen counter on a Sunday. We had never been before, didn't know what to expect but.. it was a lovely experience. The food was incredible, amazing quality, we got to watch the chefs prepare over the counter. The manager and wait staff were so helpful, they couldn't do enough for us. A brilliant experience from start to finish, I will definitely return.
