We try to come at Christmas to enjoy the beautiful decorations. It's a delightful venue with a lovely ambience, and a choice of several different rooms, alcoves and cosy nooks. A roaring log fire adds to its warm welcome. The menu is varied and interesting, the food perfectly cooked, absolutely delicious with attention to dietary requirements, the staff friendly and helpful. There is always quite a wait for the meal, probably because it's freshly prepared and beautifully presented. This is not a problem as there is a brilliant collection of games and colouring activities to keep the children entertained. It is our favourite place to eat in the whole of the British Isles!

As of 03.02.2012, this is The Albion Ale Bar. They do not serve nasty, fizzy keg beers, but do have…read moresome superb local real ale; at time of writing, a choice of four plus a real draught stout. There are three areas a lounge, the bar area and a smoke room, in which, of course, no smoking is allowed. The lounge and the smoke room both have wonderful open fires essential as I am writing this. The welcome from the knowledgeable staff is also warm and the locals are very friendly to we incomers. There are no TV's, no juke-box and no food (other than bags of Tyrrell's crisps) so that conversation dominates. Upper Gate Street is also the road which leads directly to the Youth Hostel, making this the first pub hostellers encounter heading into town a definite plus for us!

Once upon a time the Albion was the favoured haunt of some of Conwy's most hardened drinkers,…read morealbeit one of some architectural merit (it is in fact a Grade II listed building). In recent years it hit hard times and was eventually closed down. However there has been a recent development that will be of interest to proper beer drinkers. The pub has been purchased by a mysterious London based banker with roots in North Wales. He's re-opened it partnership with four local breweries The Conwy Brewery, the Great Orme Brewery, Bragdy Nant Brewery as well as the Purple Moose Brewery from Porthmadog. The pub is now a dedicated real-ale boozer with a particular emphasis on locally produced ales. There won't be any food (apart from crisps) as the premises doesn't have a kitchen so it will still be a drinker's pub but hopefully one with a more discerning clientele than of days gone by.

They were cooked to perfection, and provided the right amount of spices to contrast with the house-mashed potatoes and gravy. A bowl of various veggies was also included. The red cabbage and glazed carrots were especially tasty, but there were also steamed broccoli and cauliflower with a light cheese sauce. I couldn't finish it all. The Lovely Bride had a leek and mushroom quiche, which she enjoyed as well. Service was attentive without being a bother. All in all, a fine meal.

A beautiful and traditional country pub in the small rural village of Glanwydden. Great for food,…read morewine and a warm welcome every time. The food they serve is typical Pub Grub but prepared in a Gourmet style by properly trained Chefs. Much of the produce they use is local, try the Conwy Fish soup, locally caught mussels or the Angelsey Scallops. The main courses are Hearty, think slowly cooked Lamb Shanks, roast ribs of black beef or Homemade Steak and Ale Pie. The interior is warming and welcoming, with traditional low ceilings and a small bar which is always packed with local villagers. The Dining area is a little more elaborate but still in-keeping with time and tradition. During the Summer months you can opt for al-Fresco dining on the terrace. They also have a small private function room which is great for intimate parties or celebrations. Possibly the best, off the beaten track Pub in the area. Whilst its not the easiest place to get to its well worth the extra mile to taste the gorgeous food they serve. I've never been dissapointed with any meal at the Queens Head and i've been going for years! The only problem is deciding what to have when I get there!!

The Queens Head is a fantastic little country Pub which serves the most amazing food…read more It has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are always really welcoming, friendly and helpful. They have a fantastic menu and use local produce and is only a 5 minute drive from Llandudno. The food really is wonderful and they have an excellent wine menu as well as a well stocked bar and I have enjoyed meals here for many years. It's not really a child friendly place although I'm sure they would never turn families away, they don't cater for children specifically.

I've recently visited the Castle View for the first time since it changed from being Maggie…read moreMurphy's (many years ago). Before going I checked out the menu on their website and was a bit surprised by the prices, which are quite expensive for what at the end of the day is a pub in North Wales. I'd more or less decided in advance to go for the Welsh steak & ale pie which at £12.95 was just about a fiver more expensive than the steak & ale pie on offer at my more familiar haunt, the Afon Conwy which is just a few miles away. I was hoping for a very special pie! First things first the pub has a large car park so parking was no problem. The interior is very nicely done albeit in a fairly predictable gastropub decor. The dining area lives up to the venue's name with several tables along the side of the building offering views of Conwy Castle just over the water. The staff were friendly and efficient although there weren't many other customers to keep them occupied so they weren't anywhere close to being kept busy. Foodwise I went with the steak and ale pie which was fortunately very good and very well presented. My wife had a Caesar salad which was also excellent. The kids opted for chicken goujons and fish and chips from the kids menu, which at £7.25 each were two of the priciest kids meals we've encountered in this part of the world. Again though they were excellent, the goujon meal came with the two biggest goujons I've ever seen and the fish was a generous portion. The best compliment I give though is that both plates were cleared, something that doesn't always happen with my kids. As always there had to be someone who ordered something I ended up wishing I'd ordered and in this case it was father-in-law whose beer battered cod turned out to be a huge piece of fish which looked to be have been perfectly cooked. As this is one of the cheapest meals on the main menu I think if I ever go back that might be the one to try. All in all the food, and accompanying drinks, were all excellent and every plate was cleared. It's just a shame it's so expensive in comparison to other places in the area. It was noticeable that the place was very quiet when we visited, in fact it was almost deserted apart from the staff. It's a real shame given the quality on offer and I was left wondering if maybe they'd get more business if they knocked a quid or two off the prices? Certainly I'd more inclined to revisit if this were the case.
