South Wales beach café named among best in the UK

The Secret Beach Bar and Kitchen in Swansea was the only place in Wales to feature on The Week's list of best beach cafés.

The Secret Beach Bar and Kitchen is a "wood-walled café on the sands" located "just below the Uplands suburb where the poet Dylan Thomas grew up", said The Times.

The Week added: "Tuck in to a Welsh breakfast with laverbread and cockles, or the international favourites on the lunch and dinner menu, such as crab ravioli, halloumi burger or steak salad, while enjoying the view of "a long and splendid curving shore", as Thomas described it.

"And the bar in the name is amply stocked with cocktails, beers, wines, soft drinks and hot beverages."

Visitors to the Secret Beach Bar and Kitchen seemed to agree with the high praise from The Week, with it boasting a 4 out of 5 rating on Tripadvisor from 566 reviews.
