Rake & Riddle Bar & Restaurant - Previously A Chinese Restaurant for several Years & before that, it was known as the Berthllwyd Inn, for as long as I can remember.

(I recommend you try/share, the Fried Cockles starter.)
Located on the Loughor Estuary, Penclawdd Road, Gower, Swansea SA4 3RB

Defintions:

Riddle = (coarse sieve, often used in gardening)
Cockle = (a small, edible, marine bivalve mollusk)

"The Rake & Riddle is named as a nod to the world famous micro-industry on the banks of the Loughor estuary the village is perched upon.
Even until as recently as the 1970s cockles were gathered by women often braving very hard conditions, using hand-rakes and riddles aided by donkey-drawn carts. The cockles are still sold worldwide today however, the harvesting process has become far more mechanised.
The kitchen opened its doors following a large-scale refit in January 2017 serving a broad, locally sourced menu and priding itself on a high level of service and family-friendly environment." Text Sources: (visit link) & (visit link)
