Named after a shipwreck. Run like a proper pub.

Bar Helvetia

What We're Pouring

A proper Welsh pub selection — local ales from Gower Brewery, Welsh ciders, local spirits, wines, hot drinks and soft drinks. Ask at the bar for what's on.

The Bar & Terrace

The finest view
in Britain.

Three miles of golden sand, a tidal island shaped like a sleeping dragon, and nothing between you and the Atlantic. We'd put our clifftop terrace against any beer garden in Britain — and so do most people who've sat in it. Drinks and food can both be ordered to your table outside. When the weather turns, the newly redecorated bar has a log fire burning.

The Fire

When the weather
turns, we're ready.

A proper log fire at the heart of the bar. Pull up a chair when the mist comes in off the bay.

Dogs are very welcomeBring your dog inside to the bar or out onto the terrace. Water bowls available on request.
Food

The Food

Our kitchen was lost in the July 2025 fire, but the food hasn't gone anywhere. Order at the bar as normal — your food is freshly prepared at The Causeway, our sister business next door, and we bring it straight to your table in takeaway boxes. The menu is slightly reduces during this time but the quality is exactly what you'd expect. We're building a new onsite kitchen and plan to have it open by summer 2026.
