King Arthur Hotel, Swansea

This is a large old hotel, of rather stern and four-square appearance for a village pub, facing a green on the north side of the scattered settlement of Reynoldston. Numerous benches on the grass the other side of the car park suggest just how busy it must get in summer, because there's also plenty of room inside, with dining room to the left and less formal public bar to the right. The latter is bare-boarded with a partitioned area for drinkers near the bar and various booth tables around the walls. Four hand pumps were serving Timothy Taylor Landlord, Sharps Doom Bar, Felin Foel Double Dragon and Gower Sampson Jack. I had the latter, as representing the most locally brewed offering, and it went down a treat. The beer was reasonably priced, at £3 a pint, for a tourist area, and the food likewise, to judge by the menus written on various boards, though I didn't have anything to eat. Certainly one to consider if you're in the area.
