Restaurant

Swansea’s Beach House Oxwich restaurant is located in the beautiful stretch of the Gower Peninsula. Not many restaurants have award winning standards, but with a Michelin Star and 3 AA Rosettes you’re sure to sit down for some of the best meals and arguably the best views in Swansea.

Perched high on the sand, just a stone’s throw from the water, Beach House feels as though it’s been washed ashore and weathered over time. Soaking in all of its natural setting, the essence of Beach House is firmly rooted in the Gower, from the rugged stone walls, through to the food on the plate. Nothing is taken for granted and everything is carefully considered.

The freshest local produce, whether reared, caught, picked or grown, is served through each season, as Beach House delivers a refined dining experience overlooking the iconic Oxwich Bay.

Head Chef Hywel Griffith opened the Beach House doors in 2016, bringing this old coal house on the shore of Oxwich Beach to life. Since opening, the restaurant has become a true food destination on the Gower.

Its rugged stone walls and beautiful interiors reflect its iconic coastal location backed by the giant dunes of Oxwich, the Cefyn Bryn ridge and Three Cliffs Bay.

Hywel’s food showcases the full flavour of the produce from across Wales and right here on the doorstep of the Gower.

The restaurant has won numerous awards for the quality of the food, including 3 AA Rosettes, and a coveted Michelin Star which it has held since 2020.

We are local, but this was our first experience dining here. Had the 8 course and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were lovely.Thanks for taking the time to make my wife’s taster menu milk free. It was all delicious, foods we wouldn’t necessarily have chosen ourselves but paired beautifully. We are fortunate to have a restaurant like this on our doorstep. The only annoying thing is that the estate still insist you pay for parking 🙄 but appreciate that this is likely out of your control. We will be back!

Superbly elegant and thoughtful dishes served in a beautiful beachside setting. Lots of fun or generous touches. There were many hits here — the lobster dish and the sea buckthorn ice cream will be particularly memorable — but all of it was good. This is worth travelling for and deserves its star this year.

Invited here for an intermate wedding. Was absolutely stunning from start to finish. Food, setting and staff interactions were second to none. Was a fantastic experience from arrival to nights end. Fabulously excellent.

We were given a voucher for the taster menu from my employer at my retirement, this is £125 per head 8 course menu, my wife had the veggie option and I had the normal meat option, I will not cover every course but to say we were disappointed is an understatement, from dry chicken to hen of the woods mushrooms that tasted of pure vinegar, a sorbet that was so bitter it was not edible. Flavours that should have been complementing each other just seam to be on the plate for the sake of it. We were compare this with other fine dining meals from holidays and quality restaurants but sadly this falls massively short of local restaurants like Plantagenet in Tenby or Bouchon de Rossi in Swansea.

Disappointing Experience — Not Worthy of a Michelin Star! We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night and, unfortunately, had a very poor experience — one of the worst of our entire trip through Wales. Service was shockingly slow and inattentive. After being seated, it took over an hour before anyone came to take our menu preferences. From there, things only got worse. Throughout the evening, we had to get up from the table to find staff just to request basics like salt or drinks. It felt like we were constantly chasing service, which completely disrupted the experience. As for the food — sadly, it didn’t live up to its Michelin reputation. The bread and dessert were the highlights, but the main course (lamb) was underwhelming and quite bland. Overall, it simply didn’t feel like a Michelin-level meal, either in quality or in hospitality. We expected much more, especially given the rating and price point. Would not return or recommend based on this visit.
