Driftwood Bar & Restaurant in Isle of Anglesey

We went last night and it was delicious. I had a burger cheese and bacon and it was delicious. It was good price. We difference come again.

We had salt and pepper squid which was nice and tender, salt and pepper chicken wings which was a very small portion and the skin wasn’t crispy on the wings though they were quite tasty. We had pudding chips and mushy peas, the portion size was big but the chips were not very nice at all. We also had breakfast in the restaurant which was mediocre to say the least, the bacon was very hard it was ok but nothing special. Not somewhere I will return to!

This restaurant was very disappointing. While my wife's meal was v good, my order of sea bass was very poor. The serving of fish was way too small and it appeared they had filled the plate up with potatoes to hide the fact. The seasonal greens were 70% kale with a couple of pieces of broccoli and a few green beans. When I complained that the fish serving was too small a serving and suggested they had tried to compensate by using more potatoes and kale, they tried to blame their policies for this and only offered a paltry 10% discount. I suggest you avoid this restaurant until they improve their customer focus!

We have just returned from a week's holiday in Trearddur Bay. We ate here on the first night and returned virtually every evening after. The staff are brilliant, polite, pleasant and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. The food here is really good, there were 8 of us in our party and we never had a meal that we disliked. Portion sizes are good and the food is cooked to perfection. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends or family coming to Trearddur and we will definitely be back next year.

This little known restaurant serves great food at reasonable prices. Good portion sizes and very lovely staff. Service is very good. Would definitely recommend it

Came here for my mums birthday meal having never eaten here before but seeing good reviews. So glad we did!! We felt so welcomed by the young lads working, ate lovely food which was reasonably priced and had a lovely time. Will definitely be returning.

They’ve got a great chef at the “Driftwood” (not sure if the owner knows that, treasure him) and everything we ate on Saturday night is right up there with the Sea Shanty. Do have the chicken wings, they are delicious as was the local lamb chops, fish and chips and beef/chicken sizzlers ! Real chips and the nicest gravy I’ve had in quite some time. Excellent cask ale to wash everything down with and staff that can’t do enough for you. We will be back, you lovely people xxx

Great, proper pub, darts, big screen TV and beer. Staff are great, super place to watch sport and enjoy the craic! Its not fancy but it is good fun.

Came here for dinner one evening whilst working in the area. Food was good. The service was brilliant. They had a good selection of beers on the bar.

This place is lovely! Food is amazing and really good quality! The young dark haired server was lovely and very polite! Fish was like a shark it was so big! Highly recommended. Could do with better advertising from the road.

It took a second or two to realise the veg was in front of the meat, rather than after, as I am used to elsewhere. This does slightly slow down filling your plate, but not really a problem as you are likely to be there with friends. Basically I loved it. Everything was as it should be. I can see this becoming the default Sunday lunch when we are in the vicinity

What a great place to stay and eat. A long weekend away with friends and the welcome and service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. They even sorted out evening meals for over 20 with less than 24 hours notice. Will certainly visit again. Thank you.

We took a while to find this place - intending to visit the actual beach. However it was so windy & I at least didn’t have the footwear we decided to have a drink in the bar & then head back to mainland. I got the impression that the owners (?? new) were renovating their accommodation especially. Anyway we had a warm welcome from staff, ordered our drinks (double Bacardi & Diet Coke for me) & a lager for hubby. Prices were very reasonable. We sat in the conservatory area & then outside (with view of golf course). Although we didn’t eat there the smell from the kitchen was appetising & menu prices were very reasonable compared to other places. Have to comment about the road-signs in Anglesey generally as they are very confusing - even with google maps. Although we knew which road to take we kept ending up being directed back to where we had come from. In end we decided to head for Ferry port & take things from there

We had been here several time a couple of years ago and been quite happy. We booked a table for 2 in advance for Thursday evening. When we arrived we found there was a function in progress which was very noisy with a large number of children present. We were given a table in the bar right outside the toilet,. certainly not what we expected. The food was no where near of the standard or quality we received in the past. Everything seemed rushed. Had we been made aware that this was going on we would not have booked and regret that we actually stayed and honoured our booking

We arrived at the Driftwood today for sunday lunch. The staff so friendly & very helpful. We were seen to as soon as we sat down. We made our way to the carvery, excellent choice... So many different meats&vegetables. The chef was so helpful&friendly too. I am very fussy about sunday lunch so i was so glad to be so impressed with the quality of the food. Very hot, meats were so tender, beautiful veg. I would highly recommend a sunday roast here, it was the best&now my go to place for a sunday lunch. Please try it, you won't be dissapointed. Thanks everyone for delivering great service&quality food.

Run of the mill Xmas food. Never order the stuffing it was the size of a cannon ball and looked like a scotch egg but inedible Fun venue wine reasonably priced. Avoid the wobbly chairs. They do serve a decent pint of bitter which for Trearddur bay us unusual.

I cannot comment on the food as I did not eat here but the lager was cold, the wine was decent and the staff friendly. A good place to watch the match and relax. The bar area seemed pet friendly as well.

one person ordered the childrens jacket potato with beans and cheese that arrived and was sent back as the beans where cold 3 of us had the steak and ale pie ..a very poor pie .lots of gravy hardly any meat and the meat i had was fatty all three where topped with a massive dry pastry lid ! one person was celiac we asked the waiter what where the gluten free options he said the curry was and the steak and ale pie was they leave the pastry off . i pointed out there is gluten in ale !!!!!! a lady then appeared and said sorry the pie and curry are not gluten free but i can grill some chicken and potatoes and veaetables ....better than nothing .how poor is that not to have at least one gluten free option available

We weren't sure what to expect as the restaurant attached to a motel looks quite basic. However the service and food were excellent. We did the Thursday night quiz which was a good mix of questions. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We have just had the most delicious Sunday roast. Make sure you book. Dog's are welcome in the bar. Staff very friendly. Fantastic service.

Having seen good reviews on TA we decided to give it a try. The tatty sign on the side of the road should have forewarned us of what was to come. As we approached the outside of the building it was obvious the the sign matched its generally tatty and unkempt state. Essentially it's a bar with a large plastic conservatory on the side of the building that comprises the Driftwood restaurant. We were met by friendly and helpful staff and certainly they score well here. The food is simple with all the pub favourites available. The decor and seating is equally plain with a distinct feeling that nothing has been renewed since the 80's. Unfortunately my visit to the gent's was distinctly unpleasant having a strong odour of stale urine it was obvious that regular cleaning isn't bothered with. Won't be going back I'm afraid.

Dog friendly and they squeezed us in even though they were very busy. Though very noisy when we first arrived due to football being shown, it soon quietened down once the game finished. Food arrived very quickly, was tasty and very reasonably priced.

We were very impressed by the food - every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Can definitely recommend the lasagne or the steak and ale pie! Friendly staff and good service.

Great food, friendly staff with great service - what more do you need? We've eaten here many times over the years and it's never disappointed. We both went off the specials menu, both chosing the rump steak. The offer was 2 for £18 and they were superb. We had extra onions rings, sauces and mushrooms and it was quite simply perfect. Would recommend this place to everyone

We went for my son's birthday about 8 of us and we were not disappointed. Great service and delicious food.

Saw it recommended on facebook, we were not disappointed, I previouslt thought my wife's roast potatoes were the best ever, they were until we ate at The Driftwood. Excellent food, easy parking ,a pleasant experience.

Went to the Driftwood yesterday for dinner with my family, the food was delicious and customer service was brilliant.

Stopping in the area for a week, the family decided to book for Sunday lunch, The food was very good but limited on vegetable choice, staff were pleasant but as more came in appeared to be struggling to cope. The chef was of good humour...

We live local but came here for a change as never eaten here and for an overdue date night. We had the salt n pepper squid steak n ale pie and steak n mushroom po boy with chips n peppercorn which is basically a baguette...

Lovely family meal. Food tasty and good sized portions. Kids meals lovely and all reasonably priced. Staff nice and friendly too. Would recommend.

You go here for a pub classic meal + a pint, which they do rather well. For me it was the steak pie - really flaky pastry, for the missus piri piri chicken. She found it a bit hot, but loved it. For me the...

When you drive up to it, chances are you will want to turn around and drive off immediately. Really not the most attractive place. Only gets slightly better when you get inside. We had three hungry children 6-11. no choice. Well, how first impressions can...

We came here to have food while we was visiting family we ordered the steak& ale pie with chips and peas and gravy When it came it was swimming in sauce not gravy Harldly any meat and the top wasn’t pie topping it was puff...

We stopped at this restraunt after a long days sight seeing. Have to admit we were a little sceptical at first by the limited menu, but what great food we had, everyone was satisfied. With food like this you really don't care about a limited...

Went in for breakfast with friends. Great customer service and extremely appetizing food. Can highly recommend fellow tourists inTrearddur Bay to check it out.

Amazing restaurant with great food and a great atmosphere! Staff were all incredibly lovely and welcoming. Have recommended the restaurant to all my friends and family, and can't wait to visit again!

Lovely food and staff. However, Covid controls are not being enforced. A group of 15 golfers were staying over for a few days, enjoying a few beers and food but were clearly ignoring current Covid controls eg standing at the bar/ordering and drinking, not wearing masks, zero social distancing amongst them. Not very confidence inspiring. We subsequently ate at the Sea Shanty down the road for the next 3 evenings, a marked contrast and amazingly, was cheaper.

We had a booked seating at 5pm for a family meal. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially bearing in mind ....Covid-19 restrictions. Good selection of well prepared food with drinks for everyone. It was a lovely evening, much enjoyed by all. At reasonable...

This hotel restaurant in a conservatory of a dated motel was dreadful. Pine tables, chipped crockery, green cord carpet and adorned with fairy lights, which didn’t afford it the warmth it desperately needed. We ordered salt and pepper squid and a prawn cocktail. Prawns where...

We stayed this weekend. Always a pleasant stay at the hotel. The Driftwood bar staff are the most pleasant of people. So friendly & seem to actually enjoy their job. Especially Kate & Matt, so thank you. The lovely Anna that booked us in, is...

Lovely meal in the conservatory, excellent value for money, seating well spaced out, staff pleasant and helpful although bar area could do with a little TLC, worth a visit

By far the tastiest Sunday roast I've had! All fresh vegetables, choice of meats, food was served piping hot. Excellent value for money, desert was amazing too! Compliments to the chef! Staff were also friendly and attentive. Very clean establishment abiding by covid guidelines. Thank you from a returning local customer

Can't fault the driftwood restaurant for food. Everything is home cooked and the service is great. Definitely will be going back again.

Booked a table, due to the current circumstances. No problem, plenty of room. Staff attentive. Waited half an hour for our main course. Worth waiting for. Will certainly re-visit.

Great home cooked food. Fantastic selection of meals and desserts with the Cheesecake being really sought after. Don’t miss out on this delight of Trearddur Bay.

We got the last available table so position wasn't great but the service was quick and friendly and the food was lovely. We had 3 different main courses and all were great. Will def visit again.

After a terrible meal the night before at another restaurant we booked the Driftwood on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The location and initial impressions are not great but once in you soon dismiss this. We booked through facebook messenger and staff were very responsive though got our booking slightly wrong by 1 person. But this didnt cause an issue and we were seated in the conservatory. Staff were great, fully masked and patient answering questions and advising on choices. Children's meals were good and large portions for a reasonable price. Adult meals were really tasty. I had the Steak pie and it was thick and tasty with lots of meat. My wife had pan seared seabass again tasty and pleantiful and other meals of curry and hunters chicken also tasty. Staff couldnt do enough for us, checking if all was ok and bringing anything we needed quickly. All in all a really good experiance and a repeat location for sure

Really nice team of staff, good homecooked tasty food generously portioned, decent bar,all very fairly priced. Whats not to like? We will be back. Thanks Driftwood. X

Best place in the bay for genuine happy service! The staff are always friendly and accommodating.Its simple, honest pub food. But very tasty and great value! We are always comfortable to take the kids, and regularly visit when in the area.Keep up the good work.

Popped in with some friends , mainly to watch the rugby and for a bite to eat. Sandwiches were excellent, good drinks on tap and a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Very slow service. I had a starter but had to wait about 15 minutes and by that time everyone else had finished their main meal. When I then went to get a main course there were only peas and carrots as vegetables, the Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes were dried up and like concrete and the beef was rather tough. Altogether a very disappointing experience and not cheap.

Came for drinks earlier today, staff behind bar so genuine and kind, they offer football on tv (sky sports, bt). Definitely coming again!!!

8 of us ate here with 2 dogs in toe starters were spot on and came quite quick seeming they were very busy Not long after our mains came piping hot and absolutely gorgeous couldn’t fault a thing 2nd time eating here now so decided to leave a review

Visited on New Year’s Day. As a group of 8 we reluctantly booked here as everything else in the area was fully booked, however glad we did. The exterior was very off-putting with a crowd of smokers blocking the entrance and a grotty looking motel next door, however, I cannot fault the food which was tasty with good sized portions and reasonably priced. Would eat here again.

Annual boxing day drinks around trearddur bay , the PL leicester v liverpool game was live on amazon phoned up to check the game was on , service with a welsh boxing day smile , popular bar , great crowd , doubles bar and my team Liverpool won 0:4 to go 13 points clear with a game in hand.Happy days ⚽️

Warn welcome in the bar. Friendly. Nice feel but in need of little TLC. Didn't eat but carvery looked ok. Little bit chilly on both occasions we've been. Beer wasn't good on first visit but was stopped immediately and without question.

We enjoyed traditional pub grubb with a few ales, could not be easier as we were staying there also, keep it up.

Another visit here and again the food was great. The staff really go out of their way to help you in any way they can. The burgers are nice and juicy, the fish and chips are plentiful and the tastiest around. Great service!

Food and service ok however like a lot of pubs / restaurants they allow people to smoke at the front entrance which could put some off going in.

Although I have been in more often for drinks than for food, the Driftwood menu offers a great choice and I've always found the meals to be very tasty. The service is excellent, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a separate bar which again is always very friendly and welcoming with a good choice of beers, lagers, wines and spirits. I believe there's a Quiz night on a Thursday.

We had breakfast here most mornings and it was amazing . The staff even made my supplement every morning using there own milk whisking it and warming it up for me at no extra cost .

The food is very good and also the service With all respect place not the best from outside but menu is good and lamb cutlets are on the menu Dogs are aloud in the bar

We ate here on a busy Saturday evening.

Great bar / restaurant great to have a catch up and the drinks flowed.

Great food, no excellent food, great service, can definitely recommend the salmon, best salmon I have ever had. Friendly, helpful service. Spot on. Bookings needed as it is that popular. Definitely five star for food and service.

We have eaten here last year and again this year on many occasions. The food has always been good, the service is good and the staff are polite and pleasant. I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

Went to this restaurant last Sunday on the recommendation of a friend and were very pleased that we did.

The service was good but the food was very diappointing. The Welsh burger was not pure beef and tasted like it was out of a tin. We tried several places beforehand but could not get in without booking. This was the only one with plenty of space.

Booking was friendly and straight forward yet on arrival we were greeted by a well groomed but rather surly waitress who seemed more business like than hospitable.

Great customer service and communication. Good choice seperate childs menu. Quickly seated and drinks orders taken Good choice of meats on the Carvery and on the menu too. Value for money and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My wife celebrated a significant birthday during our holiday in Anglesey and unknown to her most of our immediate family joined us for the day. We had no specific plan to beginning n with but decided to see if we could book somewhere that could cater for our party (16) at short notice. The Driftwood obliged and I must say that had we planned the occasion well in advance we could hardly have done better. The food was excellent and they were able to cater admirably for one of our party who suffers from several food allergies.

All 5 of us enjoyed our meals. the service was quick, the staff efficient and friendly and all the meals were tasty. We had desserts and again enjoyed them to. In fact we had a thoroughly lovely evening.

We have dined at this restaurant before,and it has been fine but tonight it was very poor.We ordered two 10 oz Rump steaks,one medium,one medium-rare,they came one was well done the other medium.my wife ordered skinny fries but got chunky chips.I had ordered sweet potato chips,which came black,and burnt.Overall very poor.On paying the bill,I mentioned to the waitress what i felt about the food,and she replied telling me how hungry she was.I thought she's not understanding what I'm saying here at all.We dined at 18.00'ish on 25/06/2019.paid by card.

We tried this restaurant on a Monday night I have to say my meal was the worst I've ever had in my life I ordered lasagne as my 2 year old granddaughter wanted some so I was going to share it with her. When it arrived it didn't look right it looked like soup my granddaughter even declined to try it.

Nothing to say really just a couple of things...

Just your regular pub food. Nothing fancy but nothing really wrong with it, decent fill-up for sensible money. Whole place really needs a spruce up, getting to look tired.

Went for evening meal early around 5pm. Lady behind bar very helpful and friendly, but obviously on her own as she was trying to serve drinks, do food orders and see to residents in motel. Ordered food which took a little time to come, but was ok when it arrived. It was hot and tasty (handcut chips not great, go for fries). Inside pub area looked tired, decor needed updating. Conservatory area was more up to date but was empty at the time so we decided to eat near bar area. Definitely, Not as up market as other places in Treaddur but it was ok. Boys had burgers and I had hunters chicken. Both were fine.

A carvery style Sunday lunch, food was very good, staff were extremely helpful! Would highly recommend and will return!

Took my boyfriend for dinner here as he has never been and he had heard such good reports from friends.

Amazing food..really good prices..2 course sunday dinner carvery 11.95..well worth it..could of had a 3 course for but couldnt of eaten any more it was amazing. They even gave our doggy a bowl full an didnt charge us!! Staff are so lovely too..well worth a visit..

My wife and I with our daughter, son in law and two grandchildren visited on a rainy sunday evening, our first visit as we normally go to the Sea Shanty. Very pleasantly surprised, the staff were brilliant, very helpful, attentive and patient. The food was excellent, good variety on children menu with free ice cream. I had the fish and chips, the fish was enormous and well cooked. We had a good selection from the menu, which was very varied, and we all enjoyed our meals. Maybe a bit lacking on gluten free, for our daughter but she still enjoyed her choice. obviously a haunt for the locals, as we found in the bar area afterwards, very friendly and popular, good range of drinks and good value. We'll be back.

Myself, partner and daughter visit the driftwood regularly and always leave happy. Food is great and the portions are always large. Staff are always welcoming and friendly especially Matt who always takes time out to acknowledge customers. Would recommend here to anyone. Top notch 👍

Good food and good beer with nice selection of gins. You can get a great carvery here with generous portions.

continued....Will continue to dine here on our annual visit to Treardure Bay and certainly recommend the Driftwood to others.

What a lovely place, the food was 5* and they are very accommodating I just fancied a jacket potato with tuna and it did say in the small print they only served them until 2 pm and it was 7 pm but they did accommodate me with a jacket potato with tuna and it was lovely. Everything was piping hot and the young lady that served us was very friendly and helpful thank you again. We will be back.

Went in for a drink and ended up staying to watch the football. Pleasant bar staff ,It was quite busy for food serving Sunday lunches.Will probably eat on next visit

Took "Young Gun" Sam our springer so found a table in a quiet area in the lounge bar. Bar manager lady always smiling and happy. Gammon and all the trimmings for me and steak pie n chips for the "boss"; she never has veg as she says these days its just quickly passed over some steam - modern? So cant comment on veg. Got settled and could just see the grand prix on the telly. Good food and pleasant staff what more could you want - oh, and Sam enjoyed his little takeout of steak.

We had breakfast in the driftwood, full English was very good and a large portion. Coffees and teas inclusive. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A nice simple restaurant clean tidy and helpful staff. Squeezed a group of 12 in at 8pm. The most helpful spot in Treardur.

We were staying in Trearddur bay and managed to try nearly all the local restaurants. The Driftwood has potential. The staff are friendly and polite but we were disappointed with the food quality. The steak and ale pie was very salty and watery. The gammon was average but the onion rings had a horrible taste. The children's meals were better and ours seemed to like their sausage and chips and fish. There are much better places to eat nearby for similar prices.

Came again with family to this well

Came for a family meal, great home cooked food and top service from Matt and all the staff, will be going back

Lovely place we enjoyed our time but my wife was spoken down too by bar staff shaun when asking for white wine, other than this great time

Fist night in town, wanted a Sunday dinner. Called up and booked, really popular place. Food was of great quality and the team were speedy, polite and professional.

We booked last minute and staff quickly pushed tables together to accommodate us on a busy night. They really looked after us and even the talented chef came out to chat. Lovely local pub that is also inviting with a warm welcome to tourists.

Great Sunday carvery good value for money arrived at 2.00 pm they finish serving at 2.30 so had masses of meat

Dined here several times during our holiday, and were never disappointed. We had different dishes and all were really tasty and a plentiful amount. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Couldn't wish for more.

Don’t be put off by the outside!!! We where a party of 13, the staff were great, friendly efficient, didn’t mind the kids playing even offered to take family photos for us. We took a birthday cake for one of the grandchildren and they offered ice cream to go with it for the children

We booked a table to try out somewhere different to eat. Did read previous reviews which we thought even before our visit unkind and pretty harsh but that's people for you.

Although the food on this plainly non-ambitious menu was OK to good, although one dish, Beef & Ale pie, was almost impossibly salty, we waited over an hour for it to arrive. They were catering for two large parties and really shouldn’t have taken our booking as they were clearly struggling to cope. The staff did however make efforts to help, but the overall effect was disappointing after the high Tripadvisor rating it held. The decor and ambience, as previously noted by others, was rather tacky and jaded and does the Driftwood no favours.
