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.

    Another wonderful meal. The quality is 100% I’m a vegetarian,my husband is not. We both had delicious meals and the deserts are to die for! Staff are friendly and very helpful. The Shed was beautifully decorated for Christmas,it gave a warm welcoming feeling. We had an early table-5.30pm- it was quiet,but there had been a storm! We left around 7.20pm and it was very busy.

    Food outstanding and different. Customer service very efficient & friendly just right. It was relatively quiet but the weather was atrocious. They opened a door for us to get out of the rain quicker than using another door so very attentive. Fabulous choice of drinks & the cocktails were delicious. Perfect for a special occasion.

    The Shed is a nice place to eat. The loft style, old dockside warehouse works well as a restaurant space with lots of space and an open kitchen with smartly dressed, busy chefs offering an interesting menu. The food is very good. Our servers were both very good - efficient and pleasant to talk to.
