Three Brands. One Destination. Endless Flavour Welcome to the Rake & Riddle!

Having obtained the lease for the Berthlwyd/ Sea Garden in November 2016 we wanted to create a new dining experience for the area. We decided that the name for the pub needed to have local influence and so were inspired by the cockle industry. The Rake and Riddle are the traditional cockle gathering tools that have been used for over a century in the village of Penclawdd. Our objective was to combine modern flavours with traditional quality with emphasis on using local produce. We feel that we have developed a great casual dining venue at the Rake and Riddle. Renovation work began in early December 2016 where we completed extensive work inside and out, creating a relaxed, welcoming interior and a fantastic outside space, perfect for families. Work is now complete with our sports bar and pizzeria having opened in May 2017 along with a beer garden and children’s play area. We do recommend booking a table if you wish to dine with us in our Downstairs Restaurant, in our Upstairs Bar & Grill or in our Outside area as we do get extremely busy. We also have a dog friendly space in the upstairs sports bar along with a designated dog area outside. Our menu reflects traditional pub favourites that we have identified through our teams many years in the industry as well as offering new flavours and an extensive specials board.

Introducing Casa, a new destination for wellness at the gateway to Gower 🌿

Redefining Dining Co is transforming The Rake and Riddle into Casa, its new wellness concept and flagship resort, planned to launch in early 2027. With the Gower coastal path on its doorstep, Casa will bring together fitness, recovery, food, hospitality and overnight stays, creating a place to recharge, explore and enjoy at your own pace.

Over the past year, RDC has developed the concept alongside Andrew Tyrell, a local rambler and personal trainer with more than 30 years’ experience. Redefining Dining Co and Andrew have since agreed a formal partnership, with three sites already earmarked across South Wales.

Significant investment will support a full refurbishment of the property and surrounding grounds, beginning in the coming weeks.

Plans include:
🌅 Sunrise yoga, Pilates and indoor and outdoor fitness classes, with opportunities to start the day in the fresh air and enjoy movement suited to different interests and abilities.

💪 A private gym offering personal training sessions, with individual support to help guests work towards their goals.

🔥❄️ A sauna and cold plunge baths, bringing hot and cold recovery into the Casa experience.

🥾 Guided walks and coastal adventures, exploring the neighbouring Gower coastal path and surrounding landscape.

🍽️ A café and restaurant bridging the gap between health and hospitality, with varied cuisines and a choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Personal choice will sit at the heart of the offer, allowing guests to enjoy food, drink and wellness in a way that suits them.

👨‍🍳 Cooking classes and shared food experiences, bringing people together to learn new skills, explore flavours and enjoy preparing food.

📵 Switch Off Sundays, an invitation to put the phone aside, step away from everyday demands and make time for nature, good food and good company.

🧘 Retreat experiences bringing together sunrise movement, guided walks, shared meals and sound baths, with time to read, journal or simply relax.

🏕️ Glamping, camping and apartments within the property, offering different ways to stay, from a night close to nature to a longer break with the comforts of home.

Whether you join us for a class, a coffee, a recovery session or a weekend away, Casa will offer the freedom to shape your own experience.

As we prepare for the transformation, every member of The Rake and Riddle team has been offered a role at one of our other venues, keeping their experience and familiar welcome within our wider family.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of The Rake and Riddle’s story. We’re proud of the memories made here and excited to welcome you into this next chapter.

Cattle & Co can still be enjoyed in Llanelli, Swansea and Neath, with more openings planned for 2027.

The Welsh House family welcomes you in Swansea, Cardiff, Neath and Carmarthen, with new restaurants earmarked as far north as Wrexham.

Further information will follow in due course. For press and PR enquiries, contact [email protected]
