THE SMALL PLATES MENU AT ROK

Rok, ranked by customers as the top restaurant in the city on TripAdvisor, officially opened its doors on March 1, 2024.

It is located in one of the most picturesque locations in Swansea, in the former Castellamare, and before that Neptunes nightclub, offering stunning views overlooking Bracelet Bay.

The menu is made up of a selection of small plates, large plates, aperitifs, nibbles and sides. It is inspired by the season, with small plate prices ranging from £8 to £12 per dish, and large plates priced between £22 and £34 per dish. There is also a range of specials, and a Sunday lunch menu at the weekend.

The small plates menu is delicious and leaves you wanting more. Make sure to try the chickpea sweet potato samosa, chaat masala and coconut mint rita (£8).

Where? Bracelet Bay, Mumbles Road, Swansea, SA3 4JT.

THE BREAKFAST AT THE GOWER DELI

The Gower Deli has won a plethora of awards from food critics, despite having been open for less than a year. Christos Georgakis found fame on the small screen after wowing with his culinary creations on the BBC food show, and established himself in Swansea with his private chef business.
