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.

    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.

    Outstanding ., service , ambiance . A busy buzzy Saturday night ! Nell and Ruby were at their best ensuring all diners received excellent service. Great drinks/ cocktails options on arrival. We took our table promptly after a visit to the bar , must say the bar stuff certainly knew their stuff ! Coping with our choices brilliantly . Ruby kindly reserved the last 2 of the offal starters from the days specials, the other starters chosen were greens and mussels, all of which were delicious, completing the cider pickled sardines and the cockle croquettes . The sharing steak dish was cooked to perfection and it was no trouble to substitute the chips for a beet salad. The red mullet was amazing as was the ox tongue. The portion sizes just allowed us room for dessert, with the blood orange pavlova, the chocolate pudding, the Welsh cakes with whiskey and the honey mousse and rhubarb accompanying the dessert wines recommended by Peter, and Hershey our server was very informative. All in all, a fabulous evening with excellent food and service. Thank you all .

    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.

    Really enjoyed Sunday lunch here, the salt marsh lamb was phenomenal, as were the terrine starter and the desserts. Exceptional quality food, loved the relaxed atmosphere, the friendly staff. Couldn’t fault it. If you’re looking for cheap this isn’t the place for you, but for service, ambience, and quality, it’s up there with the best in Wales, imo.

    Overcharged us for our meal and refused to correct it. Ruined the experience despite enjoying the food.
