Really nice café by the car park. Great idea to have it as a cafe and a bar (including a bar outside as well). Menu is limited but it does the job if you are hungry. Nice decor too.

Good selection of ice cream. It’s all good quality locally made ice cream with lots of flavours. Expect to pay £3 for 1 scoop in a cone so it isn’t cheap! Outdoor picnic tables. Good selection of cakes and other treats too.

Nice little cafe/shop near the car park at Worms Head, Rhossili Bay. Nice selection of food on offer, fast service and tasty. Food is served in takeaway containers, I guess for convenience. If you don't mind that then this place is for you, no frills. The ice cream selection was very good, lots of flavours. If you ask for one scoop you get a little more than that Prices are pretty much what you would expect. For three meals and drinks to go with them, it was around £25. This cafe can get busy around lunch time on a nice day, so be prepared to wait a little bit. Local beer and cider are also available
