Jessica BACQUET: "Hey! Bonjourno!"I was walking quietly in the Swansea marina when a gentleman, whose Italian origins I doubt but with a lilting accent, unusual during my stay in Wales, called out to me!Someone takes me out of my reverie and kindly offers me a piece of pizza! A pizza ?! In a marina??? sacrilege I tell myself! Then, here I am, continuing on my way to stop a few meters further on to wait for my husband and put my Pomeranians in the shade... 27° on September 5th here, it's incredible! The gentleman, who I imagine to be the owner of the Anchor Swansea marina, interjects me again to offer me and my canines some refreshment, an offer which I very politely decline. The long-awaited husband finally returns from the parking lot and finally, this little restaurant on the edge of the marina, in the shade and calm, whose frontage doesn't look like much but with a friendly manager, tempts us well 👍 and it must be said that There are not only pizzas on the menu but also fish and chips! This is the typical dish we were looking for 😁 and with the price of this very local dish on average £3 cheaper than elsewhere, I want to say: “let’s go for it!” Out of curiosity, we still let ourselves be tempted by a pizza, in addition to fish 😋 the conclusion? For the pizza, no big surprises, a vegetarian one with a dough that is neither too thick nor too thin, a tasty mozzarella and above all fresh vegetables!!! And not frozen, waterlogged horrors 😱 for fish and chips: perfecto! Hearty, with taste and always the freshness of the ingredients including a generous and fragrant fish... In short, nothing to complain about except that if you are looking for a place without pretension or hassle to eat simply, go there eyes closed.

Murray Henderson: I had a couple of drinks and my daughter had dirty fries. Overall it was nice but I'm not overly tempted to go back, think it's aimed at a younger generation.

Nikki52453: The tapas is to die for. the four of us decided to try lot's of different things, ten dishes altogether.... Everything was beautifully cooked and arrived at the same time, we didn't taste a dish we didn't like. Lovely friendly staff tooWell worth a lunchtime visit

Nathan Davies: Lovely setting. Food was fantastic

charlotte miles: We had a team cocktail day and Brad was absolutely amazing. Had such such a fun day. Will defo be booking again ❤️

M Wyn Davies: Sadly I had the same experience yesterday as I had in Francos. It is understandable a business has to be run and yesterday was very busy. As someone waiting on my own for a friend to come along I was asked to move to another table which is fine . My friend then eventually arrived and then the waitress asked me to move bank to the original table as there were two of us. It is embarrassing and I must find a cafe that caters for me waiting. My friend is elderly and her mobility is not too good so I'm very limited. I would prefer to go to Burger King where if you're on your own you don't get moved.Sadly my last visit to Sam's and I will have to inform my friend of this

Leah Mcknight: Nipped into here yesterday with my 1 year old, the place was closing up but still welcomed me in, I ordered a slice of toast for a moody little one and didn’t realise it was cash only which I had none on me.The lovely lady there reassured me it was okay and allowed me the toast for free which really made my day, all the staff there were super nice to us and I will definitely be going back. With cash this time!A small act of kindness that changed my days outlook totally, lovely to see people are still kind these days.

Danielle Williams: I come with my children at lest once a week and nothing is ever too much for the girls truly amazing place lovely atmosphere I would never go anywhere elseKid-friendliness: Amazing with the kids

Sue Bowden: Been here many times. This time I chose ham omelette and chips. I wasn't really happy with this but it's not the fault of the cafe. They use chunky chips which I find too dry and the omelette was huge and full of ham but, to my taste, was very overcooked and consequently also very dry. I smothered the chips in vinegar and sauce but it made no difference, likewise the omelette. I ended up giving half of my meal to my friend. The most enjoyable bit was the side salad. I won't order that again. My friend had bacon, egg, sausage and chips and enjoyed it
