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.

Really really good food, perfectly cooked and presented not to mentioned tasted great. Very good service, attentive without being over the top. Restaurant decor/environment lacked comfort and warmth. Felt to functional bit like a canteen. We will definitely return.

As I reported over the weeks, booked table no. 36. But no reserved out on the table, with the result we had to try to find a table. Is there any point in booking a table on line. But the service & food is excellent. I would appreciate a reply. Take care. Gwyneth Smith. I have booked table no.36 for Tuesday 29th
