Best pub in the UK.

Food served daily in the summer with a good choice of sandwiches, pies, salad ploughmans etc. A little on the pricey side but huge portions and location justify this. Staff are friendly and knowledgable about the area. Simply my favourite pub ever. Check out their webcam for an idea of the view and location.

Had a great meal here with the family. All of our food was good traditional pub grub. I had the…read moresteak and ale pie and can honestly say I've never had so much steak in a pie. It was cooked to perfection. The gammon and egg was also really good as was the steak. Pub had a good atmosphere and everything was reasonably priced.

As far as pubs go, this was a good one. Some regular "pub food". I'm a picky eater...so to me…read morethat's not great. I'm also American...so I wanted a beef (not pork) hot dog, "French fries" not chips, and any salad dressing that wasn't mayo in disguise would have been great on my "salad". Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. If you like pub food, they did a good job of it. The atmosphere was good, the locale was fabulous, and the staff were all super sweet. I liked it. The 3 Stars is just because I want to be able to count on Yelp to give me 5 stars only for the super fabulous. As far as pubs go this is a 4.5. Oh, and it's kid-friendly, which I like.

I'll keep this short and sweet as I was only in there for an hour or so…read more I found the pub to be a really nice and relaxing place with a great selection of beers,and an even better choice of Bourbon,not everywhere has a bottle of Knob Creek behind the bar! If i'm honest,the reviews moaning about the Landlord make me like this place even more,as myself and my fellow Metal Heads were made more than welcome (Not always the case in most non Metal pubs in small towns). So if you are in the area,pop in for a pint of Celtica in a really comfy seat and you never know,you may get to see the Boss get angry : )

Very good food and service but got fed up with hearing shouting from the kitchen, no need for itread more

My travel companion and I had dinner at Dylan's on a recent trip and loved it so much we returned…read morethe following evening! Dylan's is in a beautiful location directly on the water, and the atmosphere is elegant but relaxed. There's lots of inexpensive public parking at the nearby beach, so there's no need to worry about finding a place to park. The first night, I ordered the crispy sea bass tacos, and the quality of the sea bass was sensational. The next night, I had the herb and parmesan crusted hake fillet, which if anything was even more delicious. The hake was possibly the best fish I've ever eaten, and the creamy mustard leeks were spectacular. After a lot of heavy pub food while traveling in Wales, the light and refined food at Dylan's was a welcome change. The only thing that I didn't like quite as much was the dessert: I ordered the cinnamon churros, and while they were by no means bad, they just didn't wow me the way the rest of the meal had. Our servers both evening were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I also appreciated that Dylan's is open until 11:00 p.m., as many of the restaurants we ate at in Wales closed considerably earlier. If you're in Criccieth, I'd certainly recommend Dylan's!

The Castle Inn recently introduced a substantial plant-based menu after members of the family that…read moreown the restaurant became Vegan. The menu includes numerous animal-free options and the result is a huge success and a fantastic place for Vegans. We had Cheesey Garlic Bread as a starter which was gorgeous. Perfectly melted dairy-free cheese on soft thick bread. As a main three of us had the pulled-pork style Barbecue Jackfruit Wrap with chips and Vegan coleslaw. This was a huge dish and very tasty. It was subtly spicy and the flavour caught up with you about halfway through. Very nice indeed. The Vegan menu also included: Vegan Lasagne with Garlic Bread 'Hippy Hotpot' Chilli Butternut Squash Curry Falafel Salad Our youngest daughter wasn't in the mood for anything on the menu (more a reflection on her than on the quality of the food or the variety on offer!) The lady who served us offered her Vegan chicken-style nuggets and chips which went down a treat. For dessert we had chocolate cake with hot chocolate sauce which was lovely and very filling. Their Vegan dessert menu also included a variety of sorbettos and a fruit crumble. What's great about The Castle is that even though the current menu is excellent they are continuing to experiment with the aim of bringing in new Vegan dishes. From chatting with our server it's clear that the new animal-free menu is a success with approx. 20% of all diners ordering from it. A fabulous place and somewhere we'll definitely go back to soon!

We had a family dinner here and had heard good things…read more Firstly: service and friendliness are great. Food delivery: served hot and on warmed plates - good! Quality of food: poor to average, especially considering price. 9 of us ate here, 2 said it was "fine". 7 said they were "not up to much". I personally found the food quality subpar. Veggies, which were sparse, seemed like they dished them from a big pot of slightly over boiled, under seasoned (none from what I can tell) freezer bag veggies. Just uninteresting. The mash spuds were similarly plain - boring. The Chicken with garlic sauce, was actually decent except that the only flavor was in a spooned on sauce that was overly strong. If they spend a little time refining the food quality - this place could be nice.
