Fine and original combination of tastes Excellent restaurant. Traditional but original combination of tastes giving a nice arrangement on the plate and a delight in the mouth. And also very friendly staff and very cosy atmosphere. Summary: perfect!
Hanson at the Chelsea Fantastic little restaurant specialising in seafood. Food was great and the service friendly. We were a large party but even though the restaurant is small the staff coped well and all the food was on time and hot! Book to avoid disappointment. Wonderful Lunch This cozy restaurant left a big impression! Ambiance was warm and welcoming, the food was delicious especially the vegetarian option, which my dad thought it was the best he had tasted! The service we received was second to none our waitress knew the dishes and was able to talk us through any questions we had, we were all very impressed.I highly recommend to everyone! We will definitely be back and booking the 7 course taster menu which looked delicious!Thank you for a great afternoon! Out of this world! It was my second time here last night, and I’ll be back very very soon. It was outstanding!I had scallops to start and my husband had duck three ways – both amazing. We both had the lamb then, also amazing! I had chocolate torte for dessert which was delicious and my husband had crème brûlée as it’s his favourite. He even got a second one to take home! Thank you to Zach and Libby for their fabulous service, a top night all round! chelsea cafe Advance booking needed.Small with a lovely cosy atmosphere.Very frendly staff. Excellent food, reasonably priced.Duck egg & pate with soldiers a very nice starter as was the salmon fishcake.The lamb main was absolutely delicious,unfortunatly we didn’t have space for a desert after the first 2 courses.This place is consistantly excelent. Great food, great service Lovely relaxing atmosphere, service is great as I was being a little fussy when we went and they were more than happy to sort out exactly what I wanted. The food is so tasty! Evening Meal with a friend We asked what the chef recommended. He said, via the waitress, Mollie, that the Halibut was exceptionally good that day (6th June). We took his advice. It was ‘melt in the mouth’ delicious. Always an excellent meal whether day or evening. As my old school friend who now lives in Canada was over at her birthday time.. I naturally took her to the best restaurant in Swansea. 
Outstanding food, impeccable service – the perfect place for dinner! Have been here several times in the last few months, the last in January for a graduation celebration. The menu is delightful, with lovely local produce available. I would highly recommend the lamb and dauphinoise potatoes! The service is brilliant – friendly, timely and efficient. A lovely relaxed atmosphere, where you could not ask for better food. A sure favourite with myself and my family – can’t wait for our next visit. Great food As usual, great food. Have never been disappointed at this restaurant.Everyone enjoyed their meals. Top Food expertly cooked A spontaneous visit to Hanson’s last night brought a much deserved smile to my face after a long day in the office. The food never fails to impress – Andrew is a true master of his trade and truly deserves his rosettes. I have to disagree with Rachel D in that it is expensive. We had a starter of chicken and foie gras parfait and one of scallops, followed by the thickest rib-eye steak I have ever seen and a dish of lamb three ways. Extra seasonal vegetables and two large glasses of very good red wine and two italian beers at under £75 seems pretty reasonable to me. Having been charged £50 at another Swansea eaterie last year for unspeakably horrible food and wine Hanson’s is probably one of the best value restaurants in town. Top quality food expertly cooked – what more could a girl ask for? Fantastic Meal & Service We ate here on Monday night after managing to get a last minute booking. It’s small restaurant with a great atmosphere. The menu looked great and we couldn’t decide what to order so went for the tasting menu and were not disappointed. Would certainly return if in Swansea again. Fantastic lunch during a bleak Fantastic lunch during a bleak December. The food was amazing and the price very reasonable, I’m sorry I have not visited here more often but will do so in future. A consistently great place to eat! Eaten here at least 5 times now, every meal has been amazing. I’ve eating from the main menu and the specials board, it’s our place to eat when we’re looking for something a bit special. I have eaten in many Michelin stared restaurants all over the world and feel the quality and seasonally reflective menu should hold a Michelin rating! I prefer lunch time dining over evening dinning as I’m not fussed about walking through the gauntlet of half naked youths on Wind St. Fantastic experience, delicious food I came across this restaurant after googling for a classy/upper market restaurant to celebrate a job promotion for my partner and the menu online looked fantastic with a large variety. We got a table with no trouble for Friday evening at 7pm. The place itself is very simple but cute, it’s quite small but gives quite an intimate and cosy vibe. I was initially quite disappointed as the menu given to us was completely different from the online one – I am someone who always checks online before I go to any restaurant, so I was questioning whether to stay as there wasn’t anything I had planned to get on the menu and myself and my partner love lobster so I wanted to go here specifically for that (so don’t check online before coming as it is different! If the restaurant could update the online menu it would be super helpful!). We decided to stay and throw our ideas out the window and get the 7-course taster menu as this seemed like fantastic value for money. I am so glad we didn’t leave!! If you come here, you MUST get the 7-course taster menu. It is only £50 and includes starters, mains, and a dessert as well as petit fours (coffee/tea and a little chocolate). The food itself was delicious – simple flavours done incredibly well, the micro herbs adding so much freshness and flavour, and the quality of the produce was sublime. I could not fault a single dish – the venison, the scallops, the salmon, all amazing, and the chocolate torte was one of the best I’ve ever had. We opted for the cheese board at £5 extra per person – we ended up paying £7.50 for a smaller sharer which was great value for money. We weren’t the biggest fans of the cheese board due to the chutney being quite a strange flavour, like 5 spice/christmassy, and not being a big fan of the selection available (i.e., we’d rather have had a strong cheddar over the wensleydale), so we’d give this a miss next time but it was good quality cheese if you’re questioning whether to get it. Overall, we were super impressed with this place and could not believe the price margin. The service was impeccable, we received fresh cutlery after every course, offered frequent drinks top ups, and were not disappointed with the experience at all. We definitely plan on coming again as this place impressed us massively (and the downfalls mentioned in the review were very minor and didn’t ruin our experience at all!!). We had the 7-course taster, extra cheese board, and a bottle of white wine and the meal came to around £160 including a 10% tip. You will not get the same taster menu experience anywhere else for that value. Thank you to the restaurant for making our celebration a great experience. Fantastic food and service Celebrated our anniversary with a wonderful three course lunch. Each course we had was delicious. The service provided by Molly made the whole experience perfect. Can’t wait to return. Fabulous restaurant Had a wonderful lunch today, food was outstanding, very interesting and varied menu. I couldn’t fault anything Service and ambience excellent too Will definitely return 😋 Simply The Best We have recently returned from London & Paris where we selected many acclaimed restaurants All deserved the complimentary reviews This Wednesday we were back in Swansea & decided to reserve a table at Hanson’s to celebrate my husband’s birthday What a revelation ! Quality, presentation can be rightfully to the very best We felt so proud to be in our home town & have the priviledge of this wonderful eatier Thank you Mr Hanson we look forward to the next time Cynthia & John davies Belle of At At Mary’s A simple unfussy environment. An excellent balance of precision and imagination. Reasonable table d’hote prices. A really high class restaurant. We’ll be back. Excellent dining experience Really enjoyed our meal , food perfect , staff friendly and professional . I had the steak , family members I dined with all had different dessert and every dessert was delicious .. would definitely visit again .. Fantastic evening Haven’t been here for some time but glad we did. What a superb welcome by staff at Hanson at the Chelsea. We ate superb food and enjoyed some lovely wine. The starters were scallops for my wife and I had the fish cake with Perl Las. For main we had the belly pork and the steak which were cooked to perfection.. Thanks to Andrew Hanson and his staff for a great evening looking forward to returning soon. Perfection Fabulous as always. Food was beautiful, the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Service was excellent. Can’t wait to visit again. Travelzoo voucher – lunch Hidden gem of a restaurant. Fabulous meal of superb quality and value for money. This was our first visit with the voucher. We will definitely return if in Swansea and thoroughly recommend it Fantastic restaurant in the centre of Swansea Went here with friends (2 couples) on the basis of trip advisor and was so pleased we did. Service was great and the food was incredible. They were very good with my gluten free requirements (I’m coeliac) and the food was delicious. The scallops and smoked salmon starters were great and the lamb main and duck main were very tasty. Great find off the main strip of Wind Street and would definitely return. 
Annual review A great menu, made it difficult to choose at first; unfortunately, for a few of us, they didn’t have everything available, which was disappointing. There were 20 people which was a challenge, but the service could have been a little better; some waited ages even for a soft drink.The quality of the food was very good and no one complained about that.I would visit again, but would make sure that a large group is not going. Well worth a visit We lunched at the Chelsea today and were blown away by the food and service. We have not been to the Chelsea for a while as we have to travel by bus and during the last 12 months the journey into Swansea has been a nightmare owing to the road works but we decided to bite the bullet today and we were so glad we made the effort.Both the starters my husband and I had and the main course were faultless, accompanied by a lovely bottle of nicely chilled Pinot Grigio.We will be returning very soon. My favourite place Just love this place. Don’t be fooled by the plain exterior. Word of warning, don’t go if you are in a rush or want fast food, and this is by no means a criticism!! The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is as excellent as the food! Nothing too much trouble, you don’t get hassled to order, to finish, to pay..I cannot recommend restaurant enough. I have visited over years have never had a bad meal. I just love this place!! Take someone special…You won’t regret it, I never have 🙂 SUBLIME Meal was simply outstanding. Husband had the mackerel to start I had the goats cheese, duck and fillet of steak for mains. Service was sublime – highly recommended and will return. Just fabulous Friend and I visited for lunch today, food fantastic, wine menu lovely, atmosphere brilliant & service gracious…. ANNIVERSARY LUNCH I have visited this gem before and knew it would be a perfect place to treat my wife for our anniversary.The welcome was warm and friendly from the two waitresses. The food was delivered in evenly spaced intervals.The food was of high quality and a delight.Goats cheese cheesecake, vegetable soupCrispy pork belly and steak with pepper sauce. Lemon tart and creme brulie.The venue is compact and we were glad to be seated in a corner as space for the waitresses is limited when the tables are full which they were with all the graduations. Would visit again and would highly recommend this cosy restaurant. saturday afternoon visited with friends after colleagues had recommended it. we went for the set lunch which was excellent – the food was well presented and everyone enjoyed their meal. although we were the last customers to leave we did not feel under pressure to leave and was face with warm and friendly staff. if you want a table in the evening be prepared to book early due to the fact that they appear to be fully booked weeks in advance. i am sure if you visit you will enjoy!! An excellent evening ouit Lovely food and an excellent wine list. Took some old foodie friends there who were suitably impressed. Different dishes such as Cod Kiev – well worth trying. We’ll be back. Delicious food and great service! I always book dinner at Hanson at the Chelsea whenever I am in Swansea: I’ve tried various restaurants in this city and this is by far the best!.(I have now been 3 times and have just booked a 4th)The food is superb; amazing tastes and beautifully presented. Excellent wine list.It is perfect for dinner a deux or supper with friends. The atmosphere is cosy and informal; the staff attentive and cheerful. Lovely food, nice birthday treat We went here for my birthday and there was a group of 5 of us. We were seated downstairs and we were the only ones downstairs. This was fine as we were a group but would have been disappointing if there were less of us. We all chose the steak and it was excellent. Also the trio of puddings was quite literally like having 3 desserts – I definitely recommend them! 
One of the best places to eat in Swansea. Chelsea cafe is one of our favourite placed to eat in Swansea. The lunchtime menu cannot be beaten for value. The food is a high standard and is always seasonal. Even though it is a little more expensive in the evenin it is still worth the cost. Staff have always been accomadating. The only downside to Chelsea cafe is the size of the place, but it has a small intimate feel. Best Rack of Lamb! Lovely dinner at the Chelsea. Hands down the best rack of lamb I had in Wales. Charming little spot, definitely make a reservation as there aren’t too many tables. Affordable good wines. Don’t miss it! Fine Dining- excellent food. The food was beautiful and presented well. Its definitely somewhere worth going for a special occassion Always Great Food at The Chelsea Cafe Had lunch midweek with friends. The food was as always excellent. We love going there in the evenings but this time tried lunch there and the food is just as good lunch time as in the evenings.This has to be one of the best restaurants in Wales. Birthday Stunning food and drinks,best to book.Service was fast and waitress help with choice of food and advised wine to to go with food. Lovely food and cosy atmosphere Met with friends for lunch which was beautifully presented and really tasty. Lovely home cooked soup to start and salmon with lovely spicy shredded vegetables – delicious. Lemon tart to finish with ice cream. This place never disappoints! Can’t wait for next visit. A Swansea Gem Always a joy to go to Hanson’s. Lovely warm, intimate atmosphere and consistently excellent food and service. Looking forward to our next visit 😃 Amazing food with great staff. Amazing food with great staff. An all round success. The venue is so subdued and relaxed whilst the food is a triumph and exciting. fabulous Got to say this restaurant is absolutely first class. Very friendly staff and spotlessly clean,I had bellypork with vegetables and it was Delicious followed by the nest cheesecake I’ve ever tasted Shame I don’t like fish! Excellent meal but when I went limited choice of meat or veggie dishes – it was a long time ago so check – this may have changed, An Unforgettable Experience. Wow, where do I start… The 3 of us were treated like royalty from the moment we walked through the door. The young front of house staff were truly magnificent throughout the evening. The food we had was absolutely amazing, for starters I had the Venison Ragu, my son had the Crab and my partner had the Salmon, for mains I had the Lamb and my partner and son had the Beef. We all even had Deserts as we didn’t want to leave the restaurant. The whole experience will stay with us for a very long time and the next time we are visiting my son in Swansea we shall definitely be booking a table. Lunchtime meal Called in on the off chance of a table for 2.Luckily one was available. The staff were very friendly as were the other diners. We both had the slow roast belly pork which was delicious. the starters were excellent as well. Really full after 2 courses so couldn’t manage a dessert.Really good value for money with quality produce. A very pleasant experience.Will definitely call again. Great food good service Eaten there quite a few times and the food is always good and the service excellentMust be the best restaurant in Swansea great seafood Anniversary lunch We come here every year and it never disappoints… Had a yummy 3 course lunch, goats cheese to start which was warm and delicious, pork for mains done a few different ways, a little bonbon, and topped with apple and various other tasty bits then cheesecake… All stunning! Amazing! Been to the Chelsea Cafe many times and always had a lovely meal there. Can’t recommend it highly enough! Great service – great food! We were lucky to enjoy a superb meal at Hanson’s. A party of 10, the service was excellent and the food was perfect! Would definitely recommend a visit! Suprisingly great food!! Dinner at this place was arranged by our host. Considering the location and set-up of the restaurant, I was humbly suprised by how good the food tastes with excellent presentation. It definitely represent it’s Michelin “guide” menu. We were seated at the basement floor, which was quiet and more convenient for our business discussion. When we arrived at abt 6.30pm, the restaurant was quite empty, thus we were a bit suspicious of the quality. But by the time we leave at about 9.30pm, the restaurant was full and lively upstairs (Ground Floor).Highly recommended. Very nice food and service We had dinner here, the location was very comfortable. The service was fantastic and food amazing. We had a really brilliant evening. Can’t recommend enough. Spoon good! Great food at a reasonable price. Been here a few times. Always great food. Recently I booked for valentines day for me and my girlfriend. Little bit of a mix up with the booking, but the girl that was there was very efficient and sorted it out quickly (not sure her name). After that we had a great meal, I had pâté and steak. Was very nice! Great food Whether you like meat or fish this place has an excellent cooking standard… It has a quiet intimate setting without too many tables giving a cosy atmosphere. The service is personal and not over bearing, the waiting staff are very lovely and set a lovely tone. I am a fish eater and the scallops were outstanding nit a lot of places get the right, and my parter a big meat eater was delighted with the racj of lamb stating it was second to none. Worth a Visit!! This is our second time we have eaten at this restaurant. All I can say is the food is outstanding! Be aware the portions are quite big so make sure you are hungry! You would need to book as they are very popular! We are bringing some friends to try this restaurant as we have raved on about it! We will see you again can’t wait, local produce at its best proud to be welsh! Every bite is a joy In Swansea, where the uplands diner is one of the highest rated establishments for food, I was delighted to find a restaurant that places quality above quantity. I’ve heard complaints from people about the service at Hanson’s. I can only go by my experience which was quite pleasant. I can’t say the service was particularly wonderful but there was certainly nothing to complain about. The service was adequate, but at a 5 star establishment, impeccable service would’ve tied together an otherwise brilliant dining experience.The menu was filled with dishes that I can only describe as traditional British food. To most, this doesn’t seem appealing but the moment my plate arrived I knew that traditional British cuisine this was not. I wasn’t presented with an abundance of food but it was just enough that I wasn’t overwhelmed. This was important as I had 3 courses. The amount didn’t seem to matter because the combination of flavors and the excellent way the food was cooked were truly surprising. Again, I cannot stress enough how well prepared the food was. From the wine to the starters to dessert, every bite was a joy. Perhaps my single visit was rare in its good outcome, perhaps continuous meals at different times would reveal unexposed weaknesses, or perhaps I’m just looking for excuses to keep going to Hanson at the Chelsea. By far the best restaraunt in Swansea My husband and myself have eaten here many times and it never fails to impress. It is by far the best place to eat in and around the Swansea area. The food is fabulous, the wine list is good (although a little pricey) and service is seamless. It can get quite busy for a small restaurant, so its wise to book. All I can say is you wont be disappointed, and once you’ve dined here, you will definitely want to do it again. Delicious Beautiful locally sourced food cooked to perfection.We celebrated our wedding anniversary in style 🥳.Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Perfect for any occasion or just for a little self indulgence. This is the third time we have visited this delightful restaurant. It is consistently excellent and well worth a visit. We were visitors to Swansea but for the locals it is clearly a favourite. We had the lunchtime menu and eventually chose salmon fish cake and chicken liver parfait, followed by hake in a light sauce, and to finish cheesecake. All excellent.The staff are polite, efficient and very helpful. Again a memorable experience and we both are looking forward to our next visit. The hake was perfectly cooked and the best I have tasted in many years I was in Swansea on business, wanted a light lunch and had heard about Hanson’s at the Chelsea. It was a magical experience. I started with flaked crab and delicately smoked salmon- a perfect combination. The I had fish (hake) and chips. It takes a rare talent to cook the fish,which was very fresh, to that level of perfection perfection.I look forward to my next visit and being able to try the tasting menu in the evening. Faultless Just been for lunch, outstanding quality, visually inviting, tantalising tasty, fantastic service can’t believe it has taken me this long to find! But will definitely be back once again Fab food and service visited once again for a family celebration, great menu and outstanding food. Service was spot on. Thank you for a memorable evening Fantastic food in a little hidden gem We visited on a Monday night and were delighted with the food served and the atmosphere at this fantastic little restaurant. The menu choice was extensive, and reasonably priced for the quality of meals we received. It’s location at a lane adjoining wind street means that sometimes the area outside can be very busy but don’t let that put you off! It’s well worth a visit but I would suggest making a reservation would be the best option as its not a large space, and even on a Monday night it was very popular. Absolutely Superb It was my birthday and we arrived early, my wife and my elderly parents. The staff were attentive and chatty, and gave recommendations, they were faultless, we found out later they were actually mother and daughter.Food was superb, starters consisted of scallops with quails egg, Smoked salmon and cream of mushroom soup, all of which were excellent. mains were Pork, Hake and lamb which again were inspired. I am allergic to cows milk and wheat but they made sure I was catered for. No desserts just liqueurs, our second visit since March and will return soon, faultless and excellent value. FABULOUSLY TASTY visited 16-12-15 – party of 6 – the starters, mains and desert were all beautifully presented and cooked. I can thoroughly recommend the restaurant. Great food Bit noisy and cramped Eight of us visited for a night out. Food could not be faulted. I had the fish cake for starters and steak for main course and they were excellent and reasonably priced. It was a little bit cramped and we had a noisy table by us. However would definitely return as the food was superb! Amazing Often go here mainly for lunch. Andrew is an amazing chef, the food is of high quality and So flavoursome. The staff are great so friendly, would definitely recommend but you would need to book. Brilliant little gem… Visited for the first time lunchtime yesterday, compliments of a TravelZoo voucher. What a find! Small but atmospheric restaurant hidden away behind Wind Street. Excellent taster menu and great service from Rachel, we will definitely visit again. 
Excellent dining experience Really enjoyed our meal , food perfect , staff friendly and professional . I had the steak , family members I dined with all had different dessert and every dessert was delicious .. would definitely visit again .. A little gem Took a friend out on a special birthday lunch didn’t know what to expect and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is small and friendly, the food was excellent, as was the service and the house white was delicious. Cant wait to go back. Great food, great atmosphere Gorgeous meal for birthday with lunchtime menu very reasonable. Very romantic atmosphere – however if there are large groups not so romantic. Great service, great choice and lovely food Black Friday Somehow myself and 15 friends managed to get a table here at the start of December for black friday.As I have said before, the food cant be faulted and was again bang on. Service was excellent.Restaurant is still in my opinion the best in Swansea and a must visit. Will be trying slice this year as a comparison to Chelsea cafe. Will take some beating in my opinion however. Good tasting menu deal Found a deal on Travelzoo which my friends and I decided to buy. £89, for 4 people for the 5 course tasting menu. Included bread and coffee. We were quite impressed with our food. Interesting and enjoyable. 3 of us had hake and 1 had the duck for an extra £2 as our main course. Very good. It was a fairly quiet night with 1 waiter, a pleasant young man. He looked after us well. Full price for the tasting menu is £39.95. Despite really enjoying our food, we didn’t think we’d choose that menu at that price. The rillette was not something I’d choose again for instance, but for the price we paid, we enjoyed everything. Cosy this small restaurant was hard to find but well worth the trek in the Swansea rain. We hadn’t booked but arrived just before 12 and they accommodated us. I’d recommend booking as the place was at full capacity by the time we left. The staff were so sweet and took our coats. They have a nice set lunch menu as well as daily specials on the board in this intimate restaurant. We both opted for the fish and chips which was nice enough but not the best I’ve ever had. The dessert was delicious as was the wine. It’s a little pricey but worth a visit. Find this hidden gem opposite the clock work magpie down a walkway between the cross keys and just before wind street. Dinner with friends Visited the restaurant on a Friday evening after booking a table for four. We were seated in the rather small cellar area down an alarming flight of steep stairs. Although well decorated and quite cosy, we did feel rather apart from the nice atmosphere upstairs and were concerned that we would be forgotten by the staff. My husband, who has visited the restaurant on several occasions said that upstairs is nicer, so bear this in mind when booking, unless you wish to be secluded. The wine list was extensive and we had a bottle of rose with some very nicely mixed Hendricks gins to start. I chose a pâté starter and a steak main which were both very good. I particularly liked the large stuffed mushroom on my steak and the beautifully crispy large chips in a little steel pot. My husband had the pork belly and said it was lovely. Our companions found the menu more problematic as one is a vegetarian and the choice was limited to only a couple of dishes, and the other really wanted chicken or salmon and there wasn’t any on the menu Well worth a visit!! mu husband and i went for dinner last night. We are my no means regulars but try and go twice a year. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The food is amazing, great atmosphere, lovely staff and an all round great experience. Miss it miss out!! excellent food, grotty staff! food first classstaff rude – one in particular, stinks of cigarette smoke!very unfriendlyspent over £400, not even a thank you or good bye. Wow what an amazing little restaurant Booked a meal for 2 after reading previous reviews on here. It’s a small restaurant but lovely atmosphere and Staff are very friendly. We sat downstairs and couldn’t have asked for a better 3 course meal. I highly recommend the Steak Diane and the sharing dessert was amazing. Great Food,Excellent Service,……….But Cold Inside. We had eaten here before and were in the basement i had phoned up and was told downstairs was not open on a weekday to my relief.It was a weekday lunchtime and we had booked for 1-30pm the restaurant was very busy and we were asked by a lovely lady called Molly where to sit there was by the door which we turned down and sat on the left hand side by the fireplace,we both realised straight away how cold it was inside the restaurant and hoped by the time we had food it would warm up.Molly who was the only waitress on looked rushed off her feet,we ordered our starters and mains and service was fairly prompt,my wife choose the chicken liver,and i went for the fishcake,both meals were excellent,for our mains my wife had the belly pork and i had fish and chips again meals were well cooked no complaints,after our food we were feeling quite cold we asked for the bill,by this time Molly was busy serving the big table on the same side as us and was trying her best to serve coffee and desserts and i think it was a few brandys for the big table.We must have waited about half an hour for the bill to come and get paid(I must add Molly seemed under pressure and the wait was not her fault)overall a nice meal service was great but unfortunately you do not book a restaurant and feel cold,would i come back here yes i would but i would insist on a cold winters day not to be seated any where near the door.For all those disabled people level access to go in very tight for space inside tables are situated very close together,toilets upstairs quite steep to go up.I would score this restaurant seven out of ten. Great food Attended this restaurant today for a baby shower,we were downstairs.I had read that the food was excellent, and it was,very very good.The only drawback, was the size of the rooms,it was ok where we were as we were all together,and was great that we could make a lot of noise.Upstairs would put me off going, as everyone was on top of each other,with no privacy.But as I say,excellent food,really great. Great but… Fantastic service, great food, but a very uninspiring cheese board to finish with. Would have expected more local cheese than those served. Another Great Meal at Hansons. We are regular visitors to Hansons at the Chelsea, and every time we have excellent food and first class service.This is most certainly one of the very best restaurants in Swansea and for many miles around.I would thoroughly recommend Hansons to anyone who appreciates good food. Over from Dublin visiting family Visited this restaurant this week as a guest with new family. Service was excellent. Goats cheese starter delicious followed by lamb 2 ways – the nicest lamb dish I have tasted in years – lovely creamy potatoes with 2 lamb cutlets which were melt in your mouth ! The second lamb dish was a small pot of shepherds pie also delicious. For dessert we had the sharing platter with various assorted desserts and cheeses. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals – duck, steak and fish dishes. Best meal I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time ! Definitely will return. Absolutely Outstanding Evening out Visited Hanson’s at the Chelsea for a birthday meal with my Sister. We visited at 7pm on a Saturday evening. We haven’t visited before, and I was immediately impressed by the attentive staff and the intimate feel of the place. We we’re given a choice of tables, and picked a nice 2 seater towards the back of the main floor. The menu had a great selection of food choices, and we had the 2 course set dinner menu. I had the Slow-Cooked Belly pork and it was divine. It was the nicest meal I’ve ever had. Tasty, perfectly cooked and wonderfully presented. I then opted for the Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulé for desert. It was the best Crème Brulé I’ve ever had. So creamy and smooth, with a crunchy sugary crust. Amazing. I would highly recommend it The staff were also lovely, out Waiter (I didn’t catch his name) was friendly, helpful and chatty (in just the right way) and helped round off the evening to a perfect night. We were one of the first to arrive, and the last to leave; we would have stayed all night if we could! High quality food at a reasonable price. Went there on a first date, we both had starters and main accompanied by a bottle of white wine. The staff were welcoming and very friendly and the food was absolutely fantastic. I was shocked at my bill being so reasonable. Will definitely return in the very near future. Can’t believe I haven’t been here before We booked a table here for my boyfriend’s birthday, we were a group of four. It feels like a little continental Parisian restaurant. The food was superb. I am vegetarian and the food was so flavoursome and the portion sizes spot on. The meat eating others were bowled over by the presentation and taste of their food. Each dish was considered and imaginative. We had the trio of desserts – wow. Wine list is perfect. Although it’s not cheap there, it’s reasonable – you don’t come away feeling short changed. We only went because our usual choices were fully booked. I am glad they were – we will be back! Last minute booking, very very pleased!! Small restaurant but not cramped. Polite, helpful & courteous staff. Choice was better than average, excellent wines available. Food was excellent, best meal my partner and I have had for some time, not the cheapest but you pay for what you get and after what we had we weren’t expecting cheapness! Will definitely be going back! Best restaurant in swansea I love this place. I have eaten here many times and have enjoyed every meal. As well as the food being delicious the portion sizes are just right so that I can comfortably eat three courses. The menu is constantly changing although a few favourites thankfully stay. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I will agree with the last reviewer though that it is cold there but I have learnt to wear something warmer. Good food, moaning customers. I was one of the four people who was talking on the table behind from Daniel’s review. At least we enjoyed our meal though. By the way we were not being derogatory or offensive to anyone just enjoying ourselves. Oh and I can at least spell all the words in my review correctly! On a serious note the seating wasn’t the best as we had a whiff of the toilets every time someone went in, but we didn’t let that spoil the night. Always Impresses! Although this is about my 5th visit to this restaurant, this is my first review of it. As always the food is so tasty, cooked very well and presented so neatly, and the customer service is always friendly and accommodating.I’ve only ever encountered one issue with one of my dishes and that was a tiny bit of crab shell in my prawn and crab avocado salad, but that can happen and as it was such a tasty starter I completely disregarded it. I highly recommend the fillet steak which is what I’ve had on 3 occasions now. Last night I asked for medium/rare but more rare and it was exactly that, cooked to perfection! Their fish dishes are amazing as well (and they have one several awards for them). All in all this is by far the best restaurant in the centre of Swansea, and suitable for all occasions; for a romantic meal, or a friendly catch up with friends. Oh and I forgot to mention their lunch menu is amazing value, pretty much the same options as you would have in the evening but half the price. Whether you go in the day or the evening, it is definitely worth a visit! beautiful Food is amazing! Beautiful starters and every better main. Made a TripAdvisor account just to comment. Well worth it and staff are so lovely! 👍🍾 Outstanding If you want fine dining at reasonable prices then the set lunch menu at Hanson at the Chelsea is a must. For just £16 you can have three fantastic courses that are a mix of classic and contemporary. The slow braised pork with apple, mustard and black pudding is one of my favourite dishes ever and the salted caramel chocolate torte for dessert? To die for. Amazing Extremely impressed with the service and even more impressed with the food. The quality is fantastic and it didn’t lack quantity. Only eaten here once and can’t wait to return. I can’t give this restaurant enough praise for their food. It’s not a budget menu but for all you people who like your food…it’s worth it. Let us know what we were able to do for you.
