A beloved 18th-century pub in a quaint Gower village has reopened three years after it closed down. The Dolphin Inn in Llanrhidian has reopened to the public and is being run by two gents from the village who have run Llanrhidian's other pub Welcome for several years.
Residents were left gutted in July 2020 when the then-owners of the pub announced they were shutting it for good. No reason was given at the time and the pub has stood empty despite failed plans by local members of Swansea's branch of Camra (Campaign for Real Ale) to take it on.
But the owner of Llanrhidian's other pub the Welcome Country Pub & Kitchen Mark Stevens and his uncle Russell Halliday have now taken over the Dolphin Inn and have reopened it to the public initially from Thursdays to Sundays. In the coming weeks the pub's opening hours will be extended with the pair hoping to be open every day of the week in time for the summer.
