Country Cooks in Denbighshire

Arrived to a bunch of young girls starring at us, sat and asked what we would like, we was only ready for drinks at this moment, they returned 5 mins later to take our order, food was served very quickly, my spag Bol was like a kids portion and swimming in water and taste less. While eating our meal with wife and son, the young staff was all stood near by looking at us and giggling. We then realised the cafe was closing in 20mins so wanted to eat up, they started to brush around our feet, felt very uncomfortable and rushed so wife and son left there food (which was very dry), and asked for bill to be given a bill of £40, for dry fish and chips and tasteless spag Bol swimming in water that we had to rush and leave. Won’t return here again!!

Girl called something like Eryn/Erin was Extremely rude to my family and laughing and pointing at us with another girl.

Very clean restaurant. Quick service. Cheap sausages but otherwise a good breakfast. I wouldn’t rush back but also would stop again if hungry.

This was our first visit and what a little gem. When we arrived there was plenty of seats available however, within 30 minutes it was nearly full, including a party of 13. There was plenty of staff and the service was good. I had been looking forward to trying the pancakes with bacon and syrup, they were delicious. My husband had a grill and said it was very tasty. We both choose to have a dessert, I had homemade treacle tart with ice cream my husband had jam roly poly with custard. We are new to the area, so pleased we have found this great place. We will definitely be back.

Good food, friendly, local Welsh-speaking staff. A much-needed local employer. Very happy to bring family and friends here. Great to see regulars of all ages welcomed here. No drama, bad music or fauning staff. If you are needy, this is not for you. Country Cooks has quiet style.

Went for lunch today, nobody was in there the atmosphere was awful. Older staff very rude. Food was just microwaved and from a freezer ( not fresh) awful. Felt awful in there and judged by staff. KEEP DRIVING.

One of the worst restaurants I’ve been to definitely not home cooked food frozen food and microwaved meals. Keep driving past. I’d rather starve than go back. The old staff are also very rude.

Great salads, quick service and would recommend. We went twice whilst staying locally and both times were great. Young staff but very polite. When sparking up conversation we never really got anywhere but can’t fault the restaurant and the pancakes are a must.

This was a must for Breakfast before our ROSPA RIde out. Cooked and Served personally by the owners and cooked fresh to order with an extensive menu. Lovely Coffee see you again. Martin Ainsworth ROSPA)

Such a shame as we came here on Google recommendation. When I arrived a lovely young lad greeted me and sat me down. The atmosphere however could be cut with a knife, despite there being many customers the noise level was so low you could hear a pin drop. When the rest of my party joined me we did consider leaving due to this strange atmosphere but decided to stay as potentially the food was going to be worth it. At that point the young lad came back to ask for our order and we asked for a little bit more time. Within a few minutes a lady came back and asked what we would like to order. I said we were still looking at the menu. SHE ROLLED HER EYES, shrugged her shoulders, huffed and walked off. So, we left as she clearly didn't want our service.

One of the worst experiences I have ever had in a restaurant… EVER! We arrived looking for a spot of lunch whilst on a girls weekend away. Firstly when we entered the atmosphere was horrendous, several tables eating, but it was silent in there. We were greet by a very young lad, he was friendly and asked what we would like. Due to the atmosphere we weren’t sure if to stay or not so we asked for some more time to check out the menu. We could overhear the staff chatting about us, quite loudly as it was so quiet in there, 2 minutes later an older lady came to the table and asked what we wanted, again we asked for some more time, to which she dramatically rolled her eyes, tutted shrugging her shoulders an walked off. At that point we decided we would not be staying, I believe the lady was the joint owner, but how on earth they have any returning customers with that type of customer service is beyond me.

Popped in on speck for lunch. Super place, very attentive staff, and great food. Prices very good. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of parking.

Passed this place for years and finally called today on our way home from a small holiday . Was ok, basic food so if you want anything fancy keep driving to Betws.

What a lovely find. Needed somewhere to stop for an early dinner while travelling. Lots of choice on the Menu at reasonable prices. Meals arrived quickly, were huge and were delicious. We were served by a young lady who couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Prompt and efficient serice. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

A lovely place, lovely food and moreover lovely people. Thank you so much for always making us feel welcome

Perfectly adequate. Did the job of feeding us enroute but not a destination in its own right. Would maybe call again if passing...

We have passed this place so many times, usually on the way home from Wales and ha e said numerous times.." we must call there for pancakes". Well yesterday we actually did call on our way to Wales. What a fabulous little place. Hubby had a breakfast, and said it was great. If you wanted extra items on your breakfast these could be ordered in addition to the main options. I have to say it looked lovely. I opted for the chicken and crispy bacon salad with flatbread. What an utter delight. The best salad I have had in a long long time. As well as the usual lettuce etc there was radish, plums, strawberry, pomegranate, apple, pear, blueberry...it was a salad and a fruit salad. It was amazing and so refreshing on such a hot day. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the place was spotless. Toilets were spotless too. Plenty of car parking and beautiful views should you choose to sit outside. Will definitely be calling back here to sample other delights on the menu.

Just left here after popping in for breakfast with my partner and 2 kids. We ordered hot and cold drinks and food. The menu itself was confusing, you could only have hash brown's with certain breakfasts, beans with only certain breakfast etc. There wasnt one with everything on. Our food come before our drinks. There were 3 children waiting on (who looked petrified constantly) and an old man cooking who liked to use a piece of kitchen roll to keep wiping his nose whilst cooking, not once washing his hands. Food was OK. The man shouted at a girl who used the wrong number to take an order. Its a confusing menu so I can't blame the poor girl. Saw the girl stood biting her nails. Table next to us asked for sauce and the boy answered them whilst digging for gold in his nose. The lack of hygiene we witnessed was disgusting. When we went to pay we were charged wrong and the old woman who was dealing with it kept huffing and puffing like it was our fault. When I asked for a copy of my receipt I was given no eye contact and my receipt slammed onto the counter rather than my hand that was waiting for it. Such awful customer service. Very rude old couple.

I've driven past country cooks I've got to say thousands of times but never stopped off there. Yesterday whilst out on the bike we stopped off for a bite to eat. Firstly the place is spotlessly clean, it's a gem inside. We sat down and placed our order, the young man and young lady who served us were lovely. The food is all freshly prepared to order and was absolutely delicious, a damn good cup of coffee too. We'll be making up for all the times we've driven on past and be calling on a regular basis from now on, in fact looking forward to our next visit.

What a find. We were looking for somewhere for breakfast and this was directly on our route. Pkenty of parking for our motorhome. Very warm and friendly patrons. Super quick service and we were struck but how spotlessly clean everything was. A real gem of...

We have been passed this place quite a few times and always said we'd stop there for lunch so today we did. I instantly loved the decor (being a cat lover) and I was impressed with how immaculately clean it was. It seemed to be...

Called in on our way to Anglesey. A lovely dog friendly independent cafe serving wholesome home cooked food. Think Little Chef but better. Family run, nice to see the youngsters involved too. Scrupulously clean and a fascinating collection of cat ornaments. Large car park conveniently...

after seeing dog friendly sign and pancakes (my 2 favourite things) felt it would be rude not to stop! warm welcome for both me and the dog who was offered a treat. Pancake delicious and hot chocolate scrummy. will definiately return for more. prices on...

We recently visited with our grandson and he was delighted with his cheese on toast and then his pancake. We regularly visit this lovely and friendly cafe, nothing is to much trouble for them. We would definitely recommend you give them a try ;)

My family and I visited today on our way home from a trip to Wales and we’re pleasantly surprised. Great food and friendly staff. I would definitely make a point of stopping there again if in the area.

We had fish & chips, the peas & chips were OK but the fish was thin & firm, probably bought in frozen. After ordering I noticed that there was a section of the menu titled "Home Made" - the fish & chips was not in...

Must stop here for food - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fantastic couple running the show with so much local information. Definitely will come back

Clean and welcoming place that does really good light and fluffy pancakes. Happy hosts, good quick service and scrummy food. Just the job!

Great little cafe, efficient staff, tasty food and a really relaxed atmosphere. Pet friendly too! Covid-19 preparations were excellent also, felt really safe throughout our visit.

Stopped off for lunch with our little dog. Food was very good , especially the pancakes . Very pleased we could bring Milo inside and one of the lovely ladies brought him a treat.

Been meaning to call in here for ages…beautifully clean establishment with really friendly owners and staff, food cooked freshly to order and with love and care. Nothing is too much trouble, breakfast is so very tasty! Thank you!

Had lunch here and the food and portions were great and it’s reasonably priced. The pancake dessert was good and the lasagne.

Stopped off for a breakfast here last week. Good value, tasty bacon, tasty sausages. Quirky location with plenty of room, large car park and quick service. Really impressed.

We had breakfast twice .Very good food .Owners friendly and have loads of useful tips for travellers. Highly recommended. Definitely worth a visit

Excellent, enjoyed our pancakes and coffee on our way home from a holiday in North Wales, nice staff, good service and a superb view, we sat on the decking outside. We will visit again.

Was driving back from North Wales and this place caught my eye. So glad I stopped for a late morning coffee and scrambled egg. Lovely clean, modern cafe run by a friendly couple. Lots of space and an extensive menu - all freshly cooked. Good easy parking spaces - it's very popular with the 'mature' biker crowd. Great to support a local business rather than the obvious multi-national service stations

This is our favourite place to go for breakfast. Myself and my two girls love it here! Best maple syrup pancakes around and the most amazing breakfasts! The staff are so lovely! The menu has so much choice and does lovely home cooked meals too. Based on a stunning setting with beautiful views. Be sure to go in you won’t be disappointed highly recommend!

You know the second you walk into some cafes it’s going to be good . This is one of those-genuinely friendly greeting to everyone , spotless cafe, great choice on menu and very efficient service. I asked for a variation of the menu -pancakes, sausage, bacon and maple syrup and it was stunning. Local sausages and the leanest bacon they import themselves from Denmark to ensure quality - and it does. Although simple this was by far the most enjoyable meal of the whole holiday and the best value. Just wish it was closer to where I live !!! Highly recommend - you cannot miss it with large yellow banners saying pancakes outside - you won’t regret it.

I dropped in on the way back to Birmingham after spending the day climbing Snowdon, I had the beef stew for main course which was really nice and blackcurrent pie for dessert which was to die for.Definitely recommend this place and will stop back again next time I’m in the area.

We visited twice during our week in the area, the owners were very friendly to us and our dogs. Food is good and service is great. Definitely worth a stop.

We've been stopping here ever since out daughter moved to Angelsey (over ten years ago). Alway good food, good service, very friendly staff always ready to assist if needed. The prices are reasonable and it's always clean. recommend you sit near the bird feeders outside windows, fantsatic amount of different species feed all day long, amazing what you see.

Superb stop...what a find. Great menu...great prices ...great service and excellent freshly home cooked food Friendly staff and something for everyone. Generous portions...a view from every table and a display of wild birds feeding that is unbelievable. We love it!

We stopped here for lunch. The food was simple, tasty and fresh. The owners were friendly. Dogs are welcome and our dog even got a little treat. Plenty of easy parking Relaxed Clean Welcoming Good service. Dogs welcome Simple, good food Reasonable prices.

We stopped here on our way to Llandudno for lunch and enjoyed it, so we stopped here again on our way home. Good honest food in a great location, with very good service. Thanks to Aron for the attentive and pleasant way he served us.

Second time i've been here,it's a very nice little restaurant have only sampled the ice cream and pancakes but there very nice.But not impressed with being overcharged by £2.40 for three pancakes at £4.30 = £12.90 Two lattes at £2.40= £ 4.80 Total £17.70It looks like they've charged for another coffee,but only had two and daughter had tap water. If they did this with most customers,then there's a nice little profit there.Keep an eye on what you're charged for.

This is a useful stopping place to refresh your jopurney along the A5. Clean, fresh environment with perfectly adequate food & friendly owners. Great if you are a cat person!

Called twice during a wet camping weekend nearby and the pancakes were the "best I've ever had in my life" according to my son! Nice friendly place, very neat and clean.

Called for a mid-morning hot drink on a tour of Wales. It was a very wet day and the cafe was full of young families who were camping locally. Consequently, it was busy and noisy, but the staff were doing their best to cope and keep cheerful. We had a good cup of coffee.

I had the opportunity to call off at this establishment that used to a regular haunt for myself when travelling to see my grandmother in LLandudno. I have not called in for some years since, but the standard of welcome, service and food has not disappeared.Thank you Country Cooks for providing excellent hospitality to myself and work friends last Friday.May you go on for ever.Doug

Great value lunch piping hot and full of flavour beautiful views, great atmosphere watching the different birds on the feedrs was a bonus. Pudding great old fashioned suet Spotted Dick was scrumscious. Food home made and can see it being prepared. Would certainly visit again

Stopped as my first 2 choices were busy and as not been before thought give it a try. Never again this place is obviously run by a husband and wife who have not a clue about decent food and presentation. Burger and fries both over cooked. Avoid at all costs unless you are satisfied with shop bought food.

been here years ago , and funnily enough never been able to find it since, but on this visit to Wales we passed it and made it our business to go back and eat there, its not fancy , very basic, the menu is good and food tasty , worth a visit

Made to feel so so welcome last Saturday morning when we rocked up soaked to the bone during one of our Ultra Cycle Rides...The Manageress took us in and we feasted on beans/egg on toast as well as 2 of the lovely coffees.

The food was store brought and was very expensive, with a smell of burning food upon entering. Good location for travelling around North Wales

Dropped in for a midday snack with the family. We ordered a breakfast, two cjun chicken and bacon club sandwiches with fries and salad (which I'd have to say was an exceptionally varied salad with many fruit and standard items...brilliant) , a fish and chips (the fish wasn't marvellous) and a brilliant home made steak and ale pie. The service was excellent the drinks were great , the portions were generous. The restaurant is really clean as are the toilets really enjoyed it highly recommend

This was our meeting place before heading to our holiday cottage, easy to find and big car park! I had quiche, fries and salad, the salad was truly spectacular! My 5 a day and so much more! 2 others had the home made burger, it really was, and very tasty. Must admit we spent quite a long time here, until we could take over our holiday cottage, but we had coffees, used the facilities and we didn't feel hassled or pressured to leave. For added quirkiness look at all the cats! Great place, loved it.

We have stopped here three times the last month travelling back and forth to Llandudno and Anglesey. We either just had coffee and a tea cake or full blown breakfast. The food is good, the service pleasant and quick and the toilets are clean.

We stopped here for lunch, on our way to Anglesey, as it seemed like a fairly busy place, which is usually a good sign.

A group of 12 stopped here for a late morning breakfast on the way into Snowdonia. There's plenty of free parking available, and the cafe is fully accessible, with a ramp up from the carpark.

The food here is amazing. All home cooked and freshly cooked in front of you. Well worth a visit...suitable for all the family

Visiting on our way to Snowdon wanting coffees snack and a few of us needing the loo, the owner came out before we had even pulled up and rudely turned us away. We explained we were doing a charity walk and were all purchasing food and drinks but he shut the door on us. Out of 70 people, 6 needed the loo but we all wanted a drink and some wanted snacks. Obviously the business wasn't important to you. Considering you only had a couple of visitors you've lost a large amount of custom. We are now a few miles down the road spending our money and 'pennies' there!!

We stopped off here this morning on the way back home.....greeted with a lovely welcome by the oweners....who allowed us to take in our small dog......there was four of us for breakfast which was fresh and served hot.....lovely sitting by the windows watching the variety of birds visting the feeding station.......decor was clean and spotless. Will certainly visit again when in the area......

Stopped at Country Cooks for a quick breakfast on a day out for our wedding anniversary.

Lovely lunch on our journey home. Friendly staff and lovely food. Enjoyed by all. Super fruity salad and all day breakfast. Very good value for money. Would visit again.

My husband and I travel to north Wales for a week in April and another week in October. We have done tbis for many years. We always used to stop at The Rhug, a few miles south of Country Cooks. However over the last few years the standard at The Rhug has fallen drastically. The menu become too 'designer' - totally unsuitable for the average traveller, especially with children, or those, like me with allergies. Prices too high, staff attitude should be better and tables not cleaned before customers seated. We travelled the few miles north to COUNTRY COOKS. What difference. Smiling, welcoming staff. A menu catering for all, goid value for money and most of the food home cooked.

Always a lovely experience, I had the Lamb burger with a fruity salad, Mmm.

Called as passing lovely cup of coffee & teacake, but staff could really do with smiling & being friendlier!

Stopped off here for lunch on the way thru Wales to Angelsey on Dec 30 and again on our return on Jan 3. Food is simple bu very well prepared.... everything is spotless and the service is friendly fast and efficient. The perfect stopover with good parking facility. On ou second visit we had a good chat to the owner. Terrific!!

Had a bacon sandwich and coffee here. Never again. Far too expensive for far too little bacon in too much bread.

This establishment is fresh looking on entry, clean and the cooking area open for all to see.

We have driven past Country Cooks a few times during our trips to Wales and today we finally decided to go in, with the intention of eating pancakes!!

Decided to try this resurant after years of passing. What a lovely visit. Spottless ,very freindly staff and owners.. delicious...

This place has got to be the only place we ve been on a regular basis and been brilliant every...

Nos encontramos con este encantador café y decidí llamar en nuestro desayuno. Mucha variedad y porciones muy buena a un buen precio. Su agradable, acogedor, limpio y el personal es encantador, sin duda volveremos de nuevo :) Definitivamente, se lo recomendaría a otros.

He conducido el pasado este lugar muchas veces. Pero ayer finalmente me decidí a comer un bocado. Tuve un desayuno encantador y mi esposa huevos revueltos sobre una tostada. El menú es variado y bien de precio. Es un lugar muy limpio y la comida...

A menudo hemos pasado el cafe y en esta ocasión decidimos parar. Me alegro tanto de haberlo hecho. Tuve una ensalada de atún y fue probablemente uno de los mejores! Si pongo todos los ingredientes ensalada de aquí me estaría obligado a olvidar algunos. La...

called here for breakfast on the way to Wales and it was brilliant. Cafe was clean and inviting and breakfast was cooked exactly as we requested. Would definitely make it our breakfast stop every time we go to wales.

Passed this cafe on the A5 loads of times and always meant to pop in for pancakes. Well, we finally made it today and I'm just sorry we haven't been in before. The menu is very wide ranging, with veggies catered for, and a nice children's menu. We'd certainly recommend it and will now be stopping off again.

Pulled in after a cold motorcycle ride through Snowdonia on the A5, coming back from the Dragon Rally. The friendly owners are well aware of the Dragon Rally dates due to the volume of bikers calling in throughout the weekend, and are always understanding of the cold, bedraggled and often rather muddy groups shambling across the threshold in search of coffee and hot food on Sunday in particular. With plenty of parking, excellent coffee and a good view across open countryside, it's a convenient place to stop for a decent breakfast and a warm up, before journeying onwards.

Delightful venue to eat at Staff very friendly , quick service, delicious food , very clean You must try the pancakes

Came in, on way south, after a day and night walk. Plenty of parking space if you have a precious car. Ordered a brekkie which came quick and filled the gap and in good portions. Staff are friendly and happy to chat and make conversation when not busy. Nice coffee as well on my revisit list

We warm and cozy place. Amazing views from the cafe of the mountains around. The pace is decorated with cat murals etc.

Stop every year brilliant breakfast and stop on the way back for lunch. Lovely service lovely food can't fault it

It was 16.30 hours and we were made welcome and told to pick a table. There were others in the building but had plenty of choice as to where to sit. The building was well lit and when ordering were not rushed. We found out when our food was served that they were due to cloes for the end of the day at 17.00 hours. The food was good and hot and well presented. We were never rushed and even when we had finished the main meal (and that was all we went in for) the time was after 17.00 and we were asked if we would like anything else from the menu. We declined as we still had quitre a journey to do and it was already dark, and I do not like driving in the dark

1st impressions. Had a bad feeling just with the lack of atmosphere but young lady welcomed us in a friendly way, No customers at all. We decided to accept whatever happened next in case we might be pleasantly surprised by quality and value. Sadly even the basics were wrong. It became clear that quality fresh good food is not high on the agenda. There was no evidence of the food offering at all, not even pictures in the menu. 3 young staff and 2 older people who might have been owners were wondering around the soulless room that is in need of serious Updating. Uncomfortable 70's style tapestry seating which was mainly fixed to the floor old fashioned wimpy bar style. Drab, dull. We were invited to sit anywhere, and then approached by a friendly young lady immediately who wanted to take our order. Asked for time to look at the menu. Menu tellingly had enormous number of choices. Not a good sign. Could see no food at all displayed in the cafe. uninspiring menu. Just a list. Approached by a second person within a minute of our asking for a minute to look at the menu. Ordered drinks. Tea arrived in fingermarked leaky plastic pots. -Then the order for 2 meals was taken and delivered to table within 5 minutes. Frozen Chips, Lamb burger, no garnish, no veg. No sense of care taken in presentation. Very poor quality, thin, over cooked exceedingly dry burger,as were the frozen chips. Bun toasted and no relish or anything at all to make the dry offering more appetising. Instead, had to use the sachets of sauces ( all unknown cheap poor versions of branded sauces). Steak and onion in a bun described with chips and salad arrived. No salad, no onions. Dry as sand. Staff went off making their own toast snacks and sitting and chatting together in Welsh at nearby table. This was the only sound. No background music, no ambience. Cafe heaving with hundreds of cat ornaments over every window ledge and all the shelves. Another couple came in. Saw our food and commented that they would just have a drink and eat elsewhere. We hoped this would become a new stop on our journeys through Wales. Sadly no amount of complaining would have changed the way this cafe operates. ( We will never complain when it is clear that the issues are not simply about an establishment having a bad day. ) - don't take our word for it. Go and see for yourself. We have simple tastes and wonder how it can go so wrong when so many cafes get it right. We will not return here. Felt furious with ourselves that we suffered it all and paid over £16 for such an insulting offering.

as per a contributor below. I have on and off used CC for 10 years, on our trip into and out of Wales. ie it was so good we did stop twice. Always Full Breakfast.this time, bacon was dire.too salty..cheap ?? and the whole experience did not set my teeth zinging....you know..when you bite in and there is a rush of..something!!.. probably cholesterol ! :-)So ..we did not call in on the way out of Wales.Lesson one...for the cost of some decent bacon, the return footfall did not reappear.:-( .. Use quality produce as your weapon , as long as I leave satisfied in the stomach ..the wallet, can jog on. lol.

Me and my family always visit here on our way to Wales for lunch to break up our long journey. Staff friendly and always remember us and ask how we are. They were able to provide my little daughter with a high chair without needing to ask for one which was kind. Food itself is simple but tasty. Only downside was that there was no baby changing facilities, even though there is ample room in ladies toilet to put a table.

My daughter and I stopped I'm for lunch on our way home from Wales, and I'm glad we did....Friendly staff, speedy delivery, tasty food and great pancakes for pudding.Two main courses, four drinks and a shared pancake (not really shared, as my daughter consumed most of my half) for less than £20We will definitely stop again.Thank you.....

We have eaten here about 15 times in the last 3 years and it's always superb. Spotlessly clean, friendly polite staff and owners, a wide ranging menu and most importantly lovely tasty food.

Great place to stop off for a break on your travels. Very friendly staff and clean and homely surroundings. This is the second time we have visited this cafe, we had the soup and roll, Welsh cakes and a drink, all very good, especially the homemade soup!Will definitely recommend to family & friends.

We would always visit this place on our way to the family farm in north wales. The owners are fantastic and we love their cat ornament collection! They would always remember us and it was a stop on our journey to look forward to, especially for a great breakfast. Today we went back after a break of a year or two and were so disappointed! The food was poor quality, frozen and overpriced for what it was (lunch food) and although the staff were quick to sort our order, it was a bit off putting having them sit around on the next table talking about the calories of all the food etc. Maybe we should have stuck to having breakfasts there? It was such a shame, probably won't return in a rush/ return at all :(

Needed a brew and I've been meaning to call in for a while, so glad I did. Very friendly staff and very clean, hygienic café. Cat mad proprietors with hundreds of cat figurines dotted all around that adds a homely touch. I only had a brew, but the food coming out to other customers looked great. Clean loos as well! If you need a bite to eat I can recommend this café, no problem at all.

Came here with a few work colleagues after a long hill trek and overall I was disappointed with the service and food. Although the servers were prompt one of them spilt chips all over my lap. As for the food my vegetable lasagna looked like a frozen meal from a cheap supermarket and was very small considering that its was £7 with Chips. As for the decor, it looked like I had jumped back into the 1970's.

Food always cooked fresh, has the homely american style diner feel about it, owners and staff very friendly, the salads are to die for.

Great place on the A5 to stop off.Service is prompt and the food, especially the breakfasts, is excellent.Very clean and the staff are friendly.

Think of all the things that Little Chef got wrong back in the day, then imagine that kind of format, but family run and done really well. We stopped here once by chance when our kids were much younger and desperately needed a 'rest stop'. Both are taller than their dad now and drivers themselves. We still always make a point of stopping here on our many trips up to N.Wales - usually our last stop before England. Good food, clean facilities, friendly folks and china cats...lots and lots of china cats!

Really nice, quaint, traditional roadside diner in the middle of the Welsh countryside.We entered to be greeted with loads of cat ornaments and knew it was going to be a great place!Both ordered full English breakfast, and it was very nicely cooked with no fat sloshing around the plate, and it tasted delicious.Possibly, one of the best Full English I've had in a long time.They were also very welcoming to our dog. Although we did ask first, and it wasn't busy when we arrived.We will definitely visit again when we come back this way.

Just disappointed. To be honest the staff were brilliant but was disappointed at the lack lustre menu. "Stop its Pancake time" as in reality there was a choice of four. This place has the potential to be so much more but its just stuck in the eighties and well in need of a revamp

We were the only people in here to start with and there was no atmosphere - a little background music or radio would make it more relaxing. Service was good but a few more smiles wouldn't have gone amiss. Pancakes were delicious and toasted teacakes looked very good. Never seen so many cat ornaments. Good view, comfy seating. Atmosphere probable improves with more people.

Passed this on a trip away, looked inviting as the Bison Grill was packed. The food was reasonable cost wise, lot's of choice, friendly staff and if you like cat's, so does the lady who owns it. Plenty of parking and nice views down the valley.
