Christmas by the Sea in Mumbles

There’s something rather special about Christmas by the sea.

As winter settles over Swansea Bay, The Oyster House becomes a place for long lunches, candlelit suppers and glasses raised among friends and family. Twinkling lights glow, the scent of seasonal feasting fills the air and the view across the water is every bit as magical as the festivities inside.

Whether you’re gathering colleagues for a festive celebration, planning a Christmas party in Mumbles, catching up with friends over cocktails, or bringing the family together for Christmas Day itself, our beautiful coastal pub provides the perfect setting for making memories.

With Tony & Sian ready to welcome you, delicious food at the heart of every gathering and even a warm welcome for four-legged guests, all that’s left to do is settle in and savour the season by the sea.

The perfect space for a Christmas party

For larger groups
  • Pods

We have two areas available at the front of The Oyster House. Both have surrounding views of Mumbles Bay, heating, and the element of privacy, so you and your guests are the envy of everyone walking past. With the option of cover and shade and the ability to let the sunshine in, these spaces are ideal for more intimate gatherings.
Why not extend your party and hire out some of the bar as well? Make the most of your time in The Mumbles.

Do you have parking

We don’t have parking ourselves, however, there are two car parks very close by (one being less than a minute walk to our door).

These are run by Just Park, we would recommend downloading the app prior to your arrival.

Are you dog-friendly?

Of course! We love to welcome your furry friends in for Christmas parties. However, we do operate a two bark rule – more than two barks and I’m afraid you’ll be asked to take your doggy outside. This is so that everyone can enjoy the peaceful Christmas atmosphere in our pub.
