The choices are : - Hake in lager batter and chips in The Britannia - can't be beaten; or Nearest and best propper chippy is - Llanrhidian Caravan Park - Open most evenings summer and winter. 7-8 mins drive. via Llandimore, and Oldwalls, Llanrhidian towards Crofty. or Port Eynon (two located there, summer only) - very good - 10-12 mins drive via Burry Green, Llandewi and Scurlage. Otherwise if you fancy a 25 mins drive - the Roma Fish Bar in Gorseinon is excellent as is Covelli's or Yallop's in Mumbles.

The King Arthur - at Reynoldston (see above) serves a great Cod (or Hoki / Haddock / Hake) with hme made chips - really excellent

Curry

Take away - best bet is The King Balti in Gowerton but it is a 20 mins drive. The other Curry House in Gowerton is not bad either eat in or take away. There is also an indian restaurant in Penclawdd - as yet untried. La Ouila on Mumbles Front is a great eat in venue as is Chutneys in Newton Rd., Mumbles. and Mumbai Spice, next to the Woodmans at Blackpill, near Mumbles, Swansea.

Chinese

The China Sea Garden in Penclawdd is the best in Gower. (Its also the only one!) Website: www.seagarden.food-passion.co.uk Tel: 01792 872886
