Sam N' Ben's - Swansea

We booked for Christmas lunch . Could not fault it , was delicious to be fair, staff worked really hard . Thank you

After eventually finding a place to park as everywhere around is double yellow lines with only a small number of parking spaces at the front We had to sit in the bar as restaurant was closed but wasn’t told this on booking, apparently restaurant is closed on a Wednesday even on the run up to Christmas All ordered different meals, mine was gammon with egg and pineapple with chips. Arrived without the pineapple and no greens. Gammon could have done with a bit more cooking My friend ordered bbq chicken and chips, again arrived no greens. Chicken was a bit tasteless and he left most of it on the plate, which is not like him His wife ordered salmon with thyme and lemon, fish was ok but the broccoli with it was cold. Waitress was told but nothing happened My wife had salmon with garlic which she said was ok Only the ladies had dessert at £6:85 each but had to pay £1:50 each for one scoop of ice cream After paying our bill we saw that the restaurant. which was closed for eating was now open for drinkers. Sorry but I don’t think we will be going back again

We went there for Sunday lunch it looked and was loverly and clean when we orderd our food it took about half an hour to come that’s fair enough when it’s going to be fresh and not “STEWED “ so the 3 of us opted for the lamb dinners we had plenty of meat the ROAST POTATOES I think were frozen the carrots the Cabbage was RAW just couldn’t chew it I did say to the lady it wasn’t cooked and she just said Ohh!! the mash peas were loverly the Broccoli was a touch off RAWNESS and slightly under cooked I was looking foreword to going there but it’s a NO NO FOR US it wasn’t cheap either at £13.95 for Lamb I tend to judge the food a bit harshly but I think not this time,I must say the New In in Clydach is still the BEST AROUND and it’s only my opinion but I don’t think the Gravy was HOMEMADE either but that just my opinion)

We are five ladies who came today for the first time, food was amazing plentiful and piping hot, staff were very friendly and attentive. Added extra bonus of live music later in the afternoon.

Based on other reviews we must have caught them on a bad night. We ordered three meals, Burger and chips, fish and chips and Bangers and mash . The bacon on the burger was too hard. My wife 's fish and chips was okay, however the mushy peas poured out of the container like soup. The biggest disappointment was the Bangers and mash , which is normally one of my favourite pub meals. It came in a sort of bowl, the mashed potatoes were watery as was the gravy the sausages were adequate, but nothing special. All this was topped with three battered onion rings that had very little onion and a large handful of watercress!!! I felt that this dish had been put together by someone who 'd never actually seen Bangers and Mash
