About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    We went to celebrate my partner’s birthday. The whole experience was outstanding. It really made his day. We had a brilliant time the two staff that served us were both engaging and entertaining and knowledgeable of the food and their roles towards the public. Can’t praise them enough for making it a Very Special Day.

    Food was only average and quite expensive The specials that were advertised were quickly wiped off so that by the time we ordered what we had wanted to order was no longer available - bearing in mind that our table was booked at 6.45, it was rather early for this to be the case.

    We’re on holiday driving through England and Wales, and so far The Shed is the dining highlight of the trip. It’s a comfortable space, service was lovely and excellent, and every dish we tried was outstanding. Highly recommend, and if I come back to Swansea this will be my first stop.

    We had a wonderful meal for a birthday celebration. All main dishes were great with the Barnsley lamb a particular star. We just had a couple of portions of the cockle croquettes instead of starters to make sure we had room for the desserts. Good size portions, chips shared between 3. Puddings were all outstanding! We are planning to return for something off the snack menu and a pudding (or two!)

    We were a table of four for lunch for my Dad's 86th birthday. Absolutely loved The Shed. Lovely welcome from friendly, professional staff who were brilliant with their welcome, attending to our needs and complete knowledge about the dishes and wines. It was noticeable that the restaurant staff enjoy their job. We loved each course, well cooked and really tasty and different for some dishes. I love that as I want to eat something that I won't cook at home. The ambiance was relaxed, great sound tracks at low level and a good buzzy atmosphere with fellow diners. Really liked to see the cooking going on from a distance with the owner and his cooking team. Loved our experience and will most definitely go again and recommend to friends.
