I first discovered the Last Inn in September 2012 when I decided that I needed to escape the city…read morefor the day, and enjoy some sea air. I used doggiepubs app to find a decent, dog friendly pub and the Last Inn was top of the list and, in fact, the first place we saw as we arrived. As a great example, for £10 you get a two course Sunday roast which is utterly amazing (and huge!) which consists of Welsh black beef (they offer a veggie option too), colcannon, roast potatoes, stuffing, a selection of vegetables and a delightful little gravy boat all of your own. This filling feast is followed by your choice of hot dessert ranging from rice pudding to apple crumble, chocolate brownie through to jam roly poly and more. The food is traditional, delicious, piping hot and accompanied with friendly service. As well as the Sunday roast, they offer a broad menu, specials board and also have live music and other entertainment on throughout the week. Recently, they've also started serving good quality coffees and specialty teas, which just adds to the experience. As a dog owner, how a 'dog friendly pub' behaves towards my four legged friend also makes a difference. The Last Inn always bring a bowl of water over for Finn, and make a fuss of him, so they get my vote! Last Sunday's visit certainly won't be my last and if you're up that way, it's well worth a look!

This is the local hangout for a few of the people we ended up seeing and spending time with while…read morewe were in Barmouth. This pub is apparently for a more sophisticated crowd. Seemed that way to me for the most part. We came here more than once on this trip. It is a pretty interesting thing that they have going on here. Ok, maybe not super interesting, but interesting nonetheless. You can actually drink across the street from the pub. On any given summer night there could be 20-30 people sitting/standing along the fence across the street with plastic cups of beer or whatever. I imagine most of these folks are locals. We hung out out there one night and for the most part they seemed like locals. We were here on a Sunday night as well as a weekday night. Sunday night had live music. The other night had an open mic night. On the Sunday night we ended up eating dinner. We were able to procure a table outside which was quite lovely. I ended up having a nice steak that was cooked medium rare (it was one of the only times on this trip that I was asked how I wanted my meat prepared). It was a nice piece of meat and I would definitely order it again should I ever come back. I know I will be back in Barmouth again. If I had a choice of pubs to frequent in Barmouth, the Last Inn would be that choice.

My parents and I booked a table at the Railway for Sunday lunch - each of us had eaten at the…read moretypically small but cosy pub and were all looking forward to another visit. The Railway Inn is all about traditional, filling grub; the perfect setting for a Sunday lunch in the Welsh countryside. The interior exudes authenticity with its dark pine skirting and floorboards. The Railway is not a place for gourmet eating and lavish surroundings, it is as wholesome as its surroundings from the cask ales served at the bad to the ENORMOUS dog that lays idly by the fire. To the food. As has been expressed the Railway is not a ground-breaking venue of haute cuisine it is a traditional pub for good, wholesome food. I had the pate to start. It was rich, well-textured and altogether moreish and I enjoyed every bit of it; the only trouble was there wasn't enough toast to match the generous dollop of pate provided. My mother had the mushroom bake, my father the pea and ham soup which were equally enjoyed. Next came the main and the Railway lived up to its reputation of excellent portions size as well as its quality. I had the lamb (as always), my father the pork and my mother the beef. The lamb was lusciously succulent, my knife making little work of it which hastened both my appreciation and completion. Beside the lamb came three fist-sized roast potatoes, cooked to perfection leaving the comparatively bland new potatoes in their wake. Some places such as the Trefeddian in Aberdovey only provide a Yorkshire pudding with the beef and you have to go through the undignified rigmarole of specifically requesting one if you choose any other meat to get one. At the Railway they slap one on every plate; crisp, majestic and golden brown I'm very glad they did so. As for vegetables we were given a fair portion of leeks and cauliflower. There's been some talk in the news recently that the humble cauliflower is losing its popularity compared to other vegetables but it's welcome on my plate any day! Dessert. I was well stuffed by the time the dessert board was passed around and was looking for something light. I went with the old, dependable strawberry cheesecake which ended the meal sublimely. I would prefer a few more strawberries and a little less gelatine normally but the pleasingly solid biscuit base and rich, creamy filling overpowered its shortcomings. On another occasion I would probably have gone for the plum pudding that my father chose which was drowned in custard. All in all this is an excellent place for hearty pub-grub and so shall be rated accordingly. As far as the meal is concerned it was superb, just what one needs on a cold, wintry Sunday afternoon in February. The only sore point was the service. I felt a little too rushed and would have preferred to have at least sipped my pint of Madog's bitter before being ushered into the dining room by the all too hasty staff. Speaking of which - my pint was worth an extra star for the pub in itself. This was my first pint of Madog's (http://www.realalepub.co.uk/beers.php?beerId=53). It's not too thick like some bitters and so didn't ruin my appetite. It was full of flavour and I will definitely order it again. Good food, good pint and a good atmosphere. A perfect mid-winter pick you up.

Visited 20th November 2010…read more I visited the Railway inn as part of a group of eight for a birthday party on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised. Having eaten in many pubs over the years we have been disappointed with the majority of them serving 'boil in the bag slop' and cooked by 'microwave technicians'. None of that here... The food was all homemade, cooked to perfection and well presented. The meals included: - Lamb Shank The meat just fell away from the bone, 12oz Rib eye Steak Just melted in your mouth, sweat and sour beer battered chicken Battered fresh strips of chicken breast, None of that pieces of frozen ground up chicken bone rubbish served here. The only reason this establishment has lost a few marks is because when the black forest gateaux came it was almost see through. Full marks to the person that cut it, it takes some doing to get it that thin. The rest of the sweats however were all fine. You will need to book here as it is only small but very worth it.

It's very cosy and can get a little cramped and short of chairs if you arrive too late on a busy night and arent happy to share a table with people you havent yet met, but i think that actually adds positively to the experience in a strange sort of way. Got revamped a few years ago, which was done really well and has managed to modernise it whilst actually adding to the character of the place. The live music is also really lovely.
