The actual gallery itself is great, well worth a visit, but I'm here today to review the cafe /…read morerestaurant 'Blas Mwy'. I have eaten here in the past, and it has always been average and today was no exception, it ranged from poor to average to tasty. I had a panini which was well over done and had almost no filling, my partner had a chicken kebab, quite tasty but was very small. The good bit is always the cakes and puddings, this time we went for a sponge cake and it was lovely. So next time I come I'll be sticking with cake and coffee. I'm not sure if it was expensive, I didn't pay, I'm sure it was.

With the credit crunch continuing to bite it's no wonder that Home Bargains are going strong. The…read moreBangor store is one of three new branches to open in North West Wales recently, along with Rhyl and Llangefni. It seems that they have bought a job lot of old Kwik Save stores as like quite a few of the others this shop is located in the an Kwik Save. For the uninitiated Home Bargains sell various household products at bargain prices. The range includes food and drink, cleaning materials, toiletries, toys, soft furnishings and kitchen equipment but you really need to visit to get a better idea. Some items come and go very quickly. For example they recently had packets of McVities mini digestives for 10p which had an rrp of 49p. These disappeared more or less overnight. However they also have permanent product lines. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for toilet rolls, toothpaste, deodorant or microwave rice amongst others. This store is handily located on Caernarfon Road (it's not far from Matalan) and has a more than adequate carpark. It's a big store for a Home Bargains and has wide aisles so it's easy to get round. The product line is much the same as other branches but because of it's size it's well stocked. If you've never been to a Home Bargains give it a go, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Being tight as I am, I'm a big fan of the Home Bargains chain of stores. Rarely do you find…read moreanything cheaper elsewhere that you do in Home Bargains and often, even when you think you've gotten a good deal from somewhere such as Poundland, you find the item in Home Bargains for 79p or even less. I'm amazed that they can sell products so cheaply. The Bangor store opening recently is brilliant because before that I had to travel 30 miles or so to Llandudno to visit one. The Bangor store is a good size, which is pleasing, but it's still full to the brim with items for sale. I last went in there today and they had lots of new lines in, which is always a good thing. Some baskets are in there for £2.99, which seems a bargain as they're a good size and they look good quality. They had their usual arrangement of sweets, followed by toiletries, then gifts for him and for her - which make ideal Christmas presents for teenage girls and boys, as well as adults, then the toys. They had a variety of nightwear and baby items, and medicines, then cleaning products, and then the bottom half is concentrated on foods and drinks, whilst the top half is divided into household goods such as baking equipment, rugs and pictures, with some more toys and games at the very top. The Bangor store seems very well organised and the shelves are always fully stocked. It also seems to be in a prime location - not too close to Bangor city centre, but definitely not too far a walk, and worth the bus fare anyway.

I wouldn't go anywhere else and I can't imagine why anyone else should want to. (It is a pity they don't sell dinner services: I tried to get the memsahib one in Debenham's but I couldn't find anyone to serve me. Since I seemed to be the only customer in the place, perhaps Debenham's have declared us all persona non grata).

The staff are very helpful and you do not feel as if you are being rushed to make a choice. They are willing to show you plenty of items to make sure that you make the right choice.

Their prices are average and I feel represent good value for money.

A few months ago I popped in to ask about getting digital television, and was told Freeview would be fine in my area, which according to me neighbours that have tried just isn't true. I was also told Sky is very expensive and not worth the money - surely this is a matter of opinion! In the last week this shop has moved to new premises at the opposite end of the High Street, it is now in a much larger shop at the Ffestiniog Railway end of the street.

The…read morecoffee shop to the rear is cosy with just a few tables, which adds to its charm; the ceiling being lined with teapots. For some people they may have gone a little overboard on the decoration though. The coffee shop's menu is fairly comprehensive, they serve a cracking cup of coffee, and the range of cakes is impressive. The owner is friendly and enthusiastic, and gave us some great recommendations of other places to visit on Anglesey. The gift shop at the front of the store is like a tourist gold mine, again very tightly packed with a whole plethora of goods. Cards, themed goods, items of clothing, childrens toys, jewellery and ornaments. Mostly of the highest quality, however, on the whole, a little pricey. Definitely targeted at the steady stream of tourists that are attracted to Moelfre though.
