This guide is designed to provide an insight in to the eating out experience that you can expect when visiting Mumbles and Gower. The reviews are based on our own recent experiences. We are constantly looking for new opportunities to take Buddy to new restaurants.

The Oyster House Hotel

Oyster Wharf, Tivoli Walk, Mumbles Rd, Mumbles, Swansea SA3 4DN
https://www.oysterhousemumbles.com/

The Oyster House Hotel and cafe bar, is one of the most recent additions to the Oyster Wharf complex on Mumbles waterfront. Dogs are welcomed in the front sections of the cafe area and first floor roof terrace. The terrace offers fantastic views over the bay, I would try and get there for high tide!. The Hotel provides water bowls, There is plenty of shade on the warmer days. There is a side entrance to the cafe to for direct access to the terrace.

There are a range of dog friendly cafe-bars on Oyster Wharf, the terrace at Oyster House offers the best views of Swansea Bay and Mumbles Head. There is plenty of space for dogs to lounge without being in the way of serving staff. Oyster Wharf gets the full sun in the mornings and there is plenty of shade available.

Langland’s Brasserie

Langland Bay

Langland’s Brasserie is fantastically situated, right alongside the beach at Langland. Although dogs are not allowed inside, there is an extensive terrace outside with spectacular views of the beach. Half of this outdoor area is designated for dogs and their owners. Open from morning to late evening, it is a perfect place to take in the beautiful scenery whilst enjoying a drink, snack or full meal. Warm blankets are readily available when the weather is chilly. The staff welcome dogs and provide treats. Water bowls are placed on the terrace and staff are happy to refill them with fresh water. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere at Langland’s Brasserie are consistently great.

Please note that although dogs are welcomed all year round on the terrace at Langland’s Brasserie, the beach itself is out of bounds for dogs during the summer months. We spend a great deal of time at Langland’s Brasserie during late autumn and spring months, but it is difficult for us during the summer as Buddy does not understand why he suddenly cannot run on his favourite beach, when it is just yards away. This may not be a problem for visitors whose dogs are not familiar with this beach and would relax, rather than impatiently waiting to go onto the sand. As an alternative to the beach there is a lovely cliff walk from Langland to Caswell, this takes about 25 minutes, so allow for an hour for a return journey. Dogs should be kept on leads as the path is popular with joggers!.

The beach is extremely popular with dog walkers from October to April, try and time your walk for low tide as there is plenty of beach and walking space. Contrast this high hide that can be extremely restrictive and crowded. The cliff path stretches east (limeslade) or west Caswell). The MiPermit App makes paying for for parking much easier and avoids queuing. The is water tap behind the huts near the Tennis courts.

Croeso Lounge

Oyster Wharf, Mumbles

Croeso is situated right on the promenade in the centre of Mumbles and is wonderful place to visit with your dog. Whether you just want a drink or a full meal, you will be sure of a warm welcome from the friendly and helpful staff. This cafe / restaurant is best described as casual with good WIFI. Croeso Lounge is adjacent to the main promenade with views over Swansea Bay and as a result is very popular with dog owners. It can be very busy at times and you are not always guaranteed a seat inside, especially as only the ground floor is available to dog owners. There are tables and chairs outside.

Your dog will be well catered for with bows of water and doggie treats, while you can choose from the extensive menu that includes favourites such as Tapas, Burgers and a selection of breakfasts. Open from early till late this popular lounge bar has a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

The Mermaid Bar and Restaurant,

Seafront, Mumbles

Situated opposite the seafront, in Mumbles, this is a great choice for a really dog friendly restaurant, where you can enjoy a hearty meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dogs are welcomed and there is a spacious and comfortable dog friendly area. There is a good choice of meals, including vegetation options and children’s menu. On a recent visit, we enjoyed the Fresh Fish Menu and the complimentary salad bar. Buddy really appreciated the friendly staff and the carpet to stretch out on

The Surfside Cafe’s,

Rotherslade Bay, Langland Bay and Caswell Bay

The Surfside Cafes are a firm favourite with dog owners all year round. They have always welcomed dogs and proactively celebrate October 1st when dog restrictions are lifted. The menu is cafe based and with breakfast baps, toasted Sandwiches and burgers. The side salad and couscous are always good!. There isice cream, coffee and and cakes available. if you fancy a change try the London Fog and Chai Latte.
