user reviews of the White Rose, Mumbles

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

A bit of a disappointment here after reading other reviews. The beer was ok though it took a while to order as the person behind the bar was busy chatting with locals. We thought we'd grab some lunch - 3 snack plates for £6.50. We were told there would be a 40 minute wait which was fine. The food arrived in 20 minutes - great. However, the food wasn't good. The fish goujons were batter and bone and the potato wedges were huge and undercooked. No one checked we were ok, though to be fair the staff were busy and there was no one behind the bar. We left a lot of food and I would have said something but didn't get the chance

A big pub, with very good value meals. Capuccino, full breakfast + toast for £3. ESB, Bass + Brains pumps (can't say whether all were actually on, on my visit). Place is nice and clean, service is fine - If you only ever visit one pub in Mumbles...

Called in here yesterday afternoon, after a Funeral up at Oystermouth Cemetary, so quite a lot of people in here. The service from the Bar was very prompt and the prices were unbelievably cheap. Special offer on was 2 meals for £5:00, so quite a few friends took advantage of that, and once again, the food arrived within reason, considering the amount of people in the place, they coped very well indeed. Certainly an improment since last time I was here, seems to have had a new lease of life all round in fact......

A Mitchells & Butler pub - M&B (the new name for the old Bass Charington company) seems to own a good few Swansea pubs, including the popular Eli Jenkins in town. This one has a similar feel - the original character of the pub has been diminished by a modern conversion that has introduced fake "olde worlde" fittings. The feel is a bit cheap and plastic and rather lacking in individuality. However, the place is tidy and well run. It has an attractive corner location, and is quite comfortable. The food is cheap. The beer is Brains and Bass.

We visited The White Rose back on July 29th, 2007. This indeed is the start of The Mumbles Mile and what a great place to get started! Their ales and bitters are top notch. They've got a menu with extensive choices and the prices are very good. Don't start The Mumbles Mile without visiting "The White Rose" first! - Dean

Used to be a very busy local Pub, but is now showing signs of wear and tear, still worth a visit on a Sunny Evening, but don't expect anything special here anymore......

A great pub and the traditional starting point for the infamous Mumbles Mile pub crawl. Well worth a visit...particularly on New Year's Eve.
