Looking for somewhere to eat with a toddler in tow is never an easy thing. Take away the usual…read moresupects (McD's etc) and you're left with restaurants that might frown upon a bit of noise or maybe not offer a child-friendly menu and pubs which may or may not be suitable for children. We almost missed The Barn, hidden up a side street between the Rail station/bus terminus and what appears to be the main shopping street. Hidden behind a rather unattractive 6 foot wooden fence is the outside seating area with a bar/cafe servery. Going through he doors to inside you feel like you're going into a pub only there is no bar. Had we not had a hungry toddler with us we would, at this stage, have turned round - there were around 10 tables inside of which only one was occupied - NONE of the outdoor tables were taken. Not a good sign on a bank-holiday weekend. We were told to take our own menus and pick a table Service was perfunctory but food arrived swiftly and was fresh and, for what it was, tasty. Portion sizes were good. Gamon was moist and well-cooked. Lasagne appeared to live up to the claim that it was home-made and the huge plate of pasta served from the children's menu was enough to tempt our little one from his doldrums. Carbonated drinks were served from cans which was less than attractive but possibly better value than soda machines! The menu was varied and offered many pub style favorites. It certainly wasn't gourmet dining but was certainly acceptable for lunch. Toilet facilites were clean. Inside is not wheelchair accessible as there are a couple of steps but you could dine outside (and there is gazebo cover). Piped music provided the atmosphere although it was a radio station that was being played which was slightly odd. If the atmosphere could be improved then this has potential to be highly recommended as a family dining place. As it is it's just acceptable.

Went in there on Sunday afternoon about 6ish for a carvery dinner, we was a bit unsure as was empty…read moreinside but we was greeted by very friendly hosts, we could choose our own table which i like, and drinks served very quickly, the carvery was ready in 10 mins as they dont leave it out all day when there quiet, this is the 1st carvery ive been too where you can serve up your own meat, there was, roast beef, turkey and pork for the meats, then there was yorkshire puddings, stuffing, roast potatoes, colliflour cheese, leeks, mushy peas, roast parsnips, roast carrots, mashed potato, mashed suede and carrot, cant remember what else but it was all cooked nicely, very tasty, with a good choice, it looked very clean to me, the staff was nice and friendly, we really enjoyed it, just a shame they didnt do cabbage as its me favourite greens, Think they should advertise they do carvery till 8 pm, as not many places serve carvery after 4 in this area, Keep up the good work guys, will be going back soon,

Best pub in the UK. Been coming here for 11 years for drinks, lunch and sun (sometimes) and sea…read more Based right on the beach, it is small inside but with the whole beach serving as the beer garden it can cater for large numbers. 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.

A great little old fashioned pub on the main square in Pwllheli. There isn't much outside space…read morereally, smokers are reduced to huddling up by the door, but if you want to sit in a relatively quiet pub sipping a pint, maybe watching the footie or having a go on the fruit machine this place is ideal. The music is never too loud, so you can have a decent conversation with your mates. It's not a particularly trendy pub, but traditional selling real ales and large meals. It's worth a visit. If you find it to be a little too old man-ish for your tastes, head up past the sandwich bar, past the chippy, and go into the pub on your right - this will be right up your street.

I have also seen the strange goings on with the postman and mafia guy. I spent most of last summer…read morein Pwllheli and had several meals there. The postmans very loud and is obviously very friendly with the barperson. The foods good but sit near the front of the pub away from the postman and his ontarage, this includes several dodgy dudes who are constantly on the questions and answers machine. I must admit there is always something going on there so from an outsider point of view its very entertaining. The food is very good although the beer is very expensive. I am back in there over easter so will update my review after this visit.

Caernarfon has a reputation for being rowdy, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, and many…read morepeople won't come into the city centre at these times at all. There are a few pubs surrounding the market place that gives the city this reputation, but one pub that's the exception is the Albert Inn on Segontium Terrace. I live on the same street and have been into this pub more than any other in the city, and walked past it most nights as well, and my opinion of the pub is that it's an old-fashioned quiet but friendly little pub that's full of character. The pub is old-fashioned in style but nicely decorated - with wooden floors and beams and wooden tables and chairs and bar. There's a pool table that takes up one half of the front of the pub, and a cosy area in front of a real fire in the other half. The bar itself is towards the back, along with some more seating. There's a variety of drinks available and prices are reasonable. There's a smoking area outside the back door which is excellent as it means there isn't anybody stood outside the front door smoking - I think even the nicest of pubs are affected by this image. Despite being English, I've never felt threatened in here and the regulars are all really friendly and chatty towards me.
