Gorseinon: if you fancy a 25 mins drive - the Roma Fish Bar or the ROMA 2000 Fish Bar in Gorseinon is excellent
Mumbles:Covelli's in Newton Road or Yallop's on the Seafront in Mumbles. Both famous and very good. Also Johnny's Chippy down the side street (Opposite Newton Packed Meals Chinese takeaway just behind Covellis). Also very good for a chinese takeaway.
Curry

The China Sea Garden in Penclawdd is the best sit in chinese restaurant in Gower. (Its also the only one!) Website: www.seagarden.food-passion.co.uk Tel: 01792 872886
Gowerton: Sterry Road - Very good chinese takeaway only. Also opposite KING BALTI Indian take away.
Mumbles:Newton Packed Meals Chinese takeaway, Newton Road, Mumbles.
