Adam Bannister and Chris Harris have hit on a winning formula at their singular venue in Swansea's Sketty district. It's a compact first-floor dining room kitted out with foursquare wood furniture and plain walls, but not lacking in a due sense of conviviality.

Wines on the main list start at around £20 for Sauvignon and Merlot varietals from the Aude Valley in France.
