The Westbourne

You know you've found something special when locals are queuing for Sunday lunch at a pub that looks completely unremarkable from the street. The Westbourne sits on Brynymor Road looking like any other Uplands local, but step inside and you'll find they're doing proper pub grub with actual care and attention. The roasts here are legendary amongst Swansea folk – massive Yorkshire puds, beef that falls apart at the touch of a fork, and gravy that's clearly been simmering all morning. It's the kind of place where regulars have their usual spots at the bar, but newcomers are welcomed with genuine warmth rather than suspicious stares. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between proper pub and somewhere you'd happily bring your mum for lunch.
