Garddfon Inn — Restaurant in Wales

Rooms are clean and modern. Staff are also barstaff which can be frustrating if you show up later in the day when the pub is absolutely throbbing. Standing in a crowded bar with your suitcases, waiting to get noticed is not ideal. Anyway, not to much noise from downstairs and the room was clean and comfortable, and we got a lovely view of the harbour. Wifi was of the dodgy, asking for personal information variety, so we declined. Maybe something a little more secure for guests? Moving on, let's talk about the pub. This is the rare occasion where a place is both a tourist trap AND a local watering hole, which is pretty cool. There's good pints as well as sugary cocktails. A homey pub as well as a dining area.

I had never been to this Inn before, situated on the beach road in Y Felinheli, Gwynedd. There was a welcome when we arrived and we're looked after by Mel and Gruff who were excellent couldn't fault their care and attention. My 5 friends had the roast beef dinner, the plates were full on arrival, we were swamped with beautiful al dente fresh vegetables in bowls, extra gravy and sauces available.

How good was that- just brilliant, my lunch was absolutely delicious and I will be recommending this Inn for Sunday lunch A* to the chef and all his staff colleagues. A* to Mel and Gruff for their care and attention to the six non stop talkers on the 1pm table opposite the kitchen entrance. Diolch o galon /...
