From fresh seafood to hearty farm produce, Gower’s food reflects its landscape — wild, coastal, and full of flavour. As Wales’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the peninsula’s farms, markets, and coastal cafés celebrate a proud tradition of local, sustainable eating.
– **Gower Salt Marsh Lamb:** Unique flavour from sheep grazing coastal grasses.
– **Laverbread:** A traditional Welsh delicacy made from seaweed.
– **Swansea Bay Cockles:** A staple of the local diet for centuries.
– **Artisan Producers:** Local honey, cheeses, ciders, and bakery treats.
Visit **Pennard Farm Shop** or **Gower Fresh Christmas Trees** for locally sourced meats and produce. Sample traditional laverbread and cockles at **Swansea Market**, or enjoy seafood fresh from the bay at **The King’s Head Inn (Llangennith)** or **The Britannia Inn (Llanmadoc)**. Food festivals like the **Mumbles Oyster Festival** showcase Gower’s culinary excellence.
