Reviews
Place looks completely run down and then you step on to their terrace and the views are spectacular. Actually, even the terrace is a bit run down but I could easily put up with that when you could see the castle, beaches and a huge swathe of coast. I read a few reviews before I started to write and in contrast to some I found the food just fine. My wife and I both had the same seafood platter which is essentially breaded or battered seafood and chips. But very well cooked, piping hot when it was served as were the chips. In fact I thought the chips excellent. Dogs liked their sausages too. . Overall, with the sun shining this was a very pleasant lunch experience.
Place looks weird and run done when u walk in. Best part for this restaurant is beautiful view over the sea, that was amazing. On the nice day that would be top spot to have lunch. We had lam sandwich, which actually was quite tasty. The chips were undercooked though! They don’t do table service and you have to order and pay at the counter, menu said cash only, we were almost about to leave seriously, who carries cash now!!?, but lady said that they do take card as well as only cash point in the village is broken! Personally would not go back again.
This was our 2nd visit. Food is generally fine- slightly over priced but that's expected in a tourist destination like Harlech. We had a scampi and a fish goujon basket and the scampi and goujons were lovely, juicy and crisp... but the chips were undercooked. If the weather is good, the back of the resteaunt has a beautiful garden area with the best views over Harlech toward the sea. There is also a sun room type of area swith similar views from indoors. Make sure you check ingredients if you have allergies, as I have an allergy to an item which was not listed on the menu, last time I visited luckily not severe. Service is always friendly and willing! If we return, I definitely want to try one of the burgers- they look nice!
Lovely views, standard food and service fine. I had cod goujons which were fine. chips a bit hard and nothing special. Daughter had chicken which was nice enough. Pleasant enough lunch as sun was out and i was starving!Food: 3/5
I'd rather start with the + but folk often only read the beginning so here goes... tl;dr at the end Arrived for Sunday lunch soon after 12, two adults and two young teenagers. No mains on the menu, only five on the Specials board and we had four of them. This review is a joint effort, though I myself had a good sample of three of them. My wife's ham and eggs was OK. The portion was generous, in fact possibly too much ham, but mostly it was just plain. Nothing special. For £15 I'd expect a twist or just something really special. This wasn't that. 2/5 A couple of mouthfuls into the battered cod my son said it was 'really not good'. He'll eat most things and eats a lot so it's not like him to leave anything, but he ate the chips and left most of the fish, downgrading it to 'terrible'. I had a couple of mouthfuls and had to agree. Cod should be flaky and tender. This was chewy and didn't taste good, suggesting it was overcooked and possibly that it had been frozen. 1/5 My daughter had a couple of mouthfuls of the lasagne and gave up. I tried it and while I could see that it was not what she might have expected, I quite liked it. It was more tomatoey than beefy but that's down to preference and it was far and away the best of the four meals. 4/5 from me. 3/5 from my daughter. Mine was, allegedly, a minced beef and onion pie. Again, for £15 I'd expect something a cut above a normal pub pie. This was several tiers below. The puff pastry lid on a shortcrust base would have been fun on a good pie, but here it seemed like a gimmick. Both types of pastry were kinda average. The biggest let down was the filling. It was just bland. If you bought cheap frozen mince from a low-end supermarket and heated it as per the packet you'd get this. Not only was there no noticeable onion, there was no evidence of ANY attempt to give this any flavour. No apparent herbs or spices, no Worcestershire or soy sauce. No garlic. No noticeable salt and pepper. Even a few peas or some grated carrot would have added _something_. This was worthy of a 1980's school or hospital dinner. Not actively unpleasant so 2/5. So onto the better stuff. No one welcomed us, told us to find our own table, brought us menus or told us to order at the bar when ready, we had to work that all out for ourselves. However, the staff were all polite and cheerful and the food came promptly. The views are amazing, of course, and are largely what you're paying for, though if you're eating here you're probably staying nearby and travelling around the area so you have great views around you all the time. The Snowdon Craft Bitter is extremely good, I wish I could get it back home! 5+/5! Tl;dr: Looks like a great place to drink and socialize, but the food isn't even bog-standard pub fayre; it's sub-standard and not worth half the price. Avoid.
Just when I was getting worried about finding a nice place for a beer in Harlech that would have a Castle view along came this place that had it all. Nice interior from owners that actually care about their customers with plenty of seating inside and out. The outdoor area was my preference on this nice sunny day and enjoyed a couple of pints of Shed Head with spectacular views of the Harlech Castle. Will definitely return to check out the menu.
To be clear, we didn’t eat/drink here as had limited time while visiting the castle. So, why the review, because they are openly encouraging CASH, that’s why. Well done and I wish you many years of success!Food: 5/5
It's a bad sign literally when business owners put up notices explaining why your inconvenience is at their convenience. All I can tell you is that years ago, I imagine under different ownership, it was a lovely place with great food, a beautiful terrace, and a different attitude.Atmosphere: 1/5
Busy cafe, had to wait to nab a table. Limited parking directly outside for 1hr only. More car parking round the corner up the hill. Food was decent. The views are spectacular across Harlech beach and towards Abersoch as well as the castle in Harlech.
We came here last week for the view, which was spectacular of Harlech Castle and the coast. The food was delicious and reasonably priced however to buy a round of drinks was quite expensiveFood: 5/5
