Fabulous dining experience here on Saturday night. Egle was our server and she couldn’t have done enough for us, very attentive and kind. We were celebrating my birthday and were given a complimentary dessert which was a delicious dulce de leche cheesecake. We will definitely be back in the future

Swansea

About the restaurant

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.

Excellence is the best way to summarise The shed, an innovative menu serving fresh local produce in time with the seasons paired with a laid back but detailed service from front of house makes this place a must try and one I will be coming back too again.

About the restaurant

The George hotel is a beautiful 400 year old hotel, currently only used as a restaurant. Taken over in 2020, the restaurant is tastefully decorated, adourning wonderful photos of chepstow through the years. The menu boasts an array of fabulous dishes, from the traditional 'pub grub' with our 2 for £16 menu, to our in house dry aged Steaks, cooked to perfection by our chefs or brought out to you on our signature sizzling hot stones. On a Saturday evening, the restaurant comes alive with wonderful live music, starting off with a relaxed vibe whilst you finish off your meal, and a livelier second half to finish off your evening. Finish the week here on a sunday, where we have fast become the place to come for a sunday lunch, with rave reviews and recommendations across the board. With a vast drinks and food menu, the George is the ideal place to come, either for a relaxed lunch for two, an evening out with friends or a large family gathering.

Early Friday evening very quiet in dining area although quite a noisy group in the bar area. Service and food excellent. One rump and one ribeye both done to perfection. Nice price on bottle of house wine and overall pricing very satisfactory.

We had such a lovely Sunday roast here - the place was packed with groups but it never got too loud, the staff were friendly and there was an excellent live musician too. The food was delicious too - I’m going to be dreaming about that berry and pecan crumble for weeks!
