Garddfon Inn in Gwynedd

Visited a couple of times whilst staying in the area. Had a fantastic Sunday lunch on our first visit, the best we have had in some time and at a very reasonable price. The second visit was for lunch, I had a sandwich and chips, both were absolutely delicious with a fresh side salad and slaw, my husband had the special lamb koftas and a side of teriyaki rice which was gorgeous. A lovely warm welcome on both visits, friendly staff, great menu & specials, a good clean tidy pub. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area x

Oh my that was the best beef roast dinner I have ever had!! The beef was divine and just fell apart and the gravy was to Die for and lots of it!! Would highly recommend! Beautiful pub and great staff too!!

Great lunch with huge portions. A Wellington with wild mushrooms, sweet potato and great puff pastry with LOTS of baby carrots, green beans and New potatoes with a brown sauce for me. DW had an 8oz+ burger perfectly grilled with crisp fries and a large green salad. Still have enough for another meal. Definitely worth a repeat visit

We booked a table for Sunday lunch over the phone,which was easy to do,the Sunday roast menu was fully explained very politely. When we arrived later in the day we were made very welcome buy the bar staff/owner. The girls had already planted themselves by the lovely coal fire!!! We ordered our meals with the very polite waitress who couldn’t do enough too help. When our meals arrived they were lovely,4 clean plates is always a good sign,the food was lovely. We have called before in passing for bar meal which was just as good. Thank you to all concerned….see you soon.

WOW What a beautiful place this is Situated on the river with stunning views this beautiful pub is a gem. Our room (with view) was spotless, beautifully presented, with everything you need. Very comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom (including toiletries) and a good amount of tea & coffee. The pub itself is stunning, really lovely decor, extremely friendly staff and beautiful food. I would highly recommend the Gardffon Inn if you are visiting the area.

Fabulous location, friendly and polite staff and lovely food. Outside over looks the beautiful meni Straits. Inside cosy with lovely lights.

We visited this Inn whilst on holiday for a family meal and it was a really nice experience. The inn is located right on the sea front in a small village and is a bit like the Tardis i.e. it looks small from the outside but is much bigger on the inside with lots of rooms all serving food! There is a good choice of food all reasonably priced and a good atmosphere as the place was full, you need to book in advance especially if you have a large party of 8 people like us. We had a wide range of food which was all well presented, hot and tasty and served in a professional manner! The inn is a busy place with a great a ambience and you can also eat outside!

We booked ahead and the welcome was great. The service was excellent and we had a super pub lunch! The puddings were delicious!

Perfect location overlooking the menai strait, lovely bar staff who are always really welcoming and friendly. I had the crab ravioli off the specials board, it came quickly and it was delicious, best meal I’ve had in ages! Also really nice just to pop in for a drink too.

I stopped here with a friend a few weeks back and loved it, the pub is right on the beach front, great atmosphere and all the locals were really friendly, the rooms very clean and cosy. I left my AirPods in the room when I left and contacted Dave the manager afterwards who arranged for them to be delivered to me, next day delivery free of charge. Absolutely top drawer customer service, will 100% be back! Cheers again Dave 👍

First day of our honeymoon trip and followed the recommendation of our hosts to try this waterfront pub. Dog friendly, very friendly and welcoming barman, excellent food and nice choice of ales.

Absolutely amazing food, great service and will definitely come back when I’m in North Wales again. Good value for money and get huge portions.

Last minute decision to go out for Sunday lunch and we were lucky to get a table. We'd not been before but as a new resident of Y Felinheli was in our group we were glad we tried it. Very enjoyable roast dinners. Good produce and price served by very pleasant staff both waiting on and behind the bar. It won't be our last visit.

Absolutely lovely meal. Fantastic choice of menu and lovely staff. Specials choices also excellent. Homely, warm atmosphere. Will definately give here a regular visit. Thank you all.

I wanted to go to the four crosses but it is being refurbished so thought I would try the sister restaurant. Its usually very good around Christmas but the Sunday lunch was a little disappointing. Was looking forward to a Beef dinner but unfortunately got braising steak. Also I think the veg and roasties were frozen? Won't be rushing back, will stick to four crosses. Had a couple of lovely sunday lunches from there.

Party of 8 booked a last minute meal here . Food was fantastic - big menu to chose from - everyone were happy with their meals. Gluten free options available. Staff were great with kids to, very friendly . The pub itself had a really lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Went for a really large family meal and was very surprised how well we were all served. The food was great quality and came out really hot. It’s unusual to find such a large group catered for so well. The location is stunning, right on the waterfront and we stayed for the night too which was convenient. Our room was a decent size and the bathroom huge and very clean. Would definitely go there again.

Totally blown away by the quality of the food, the helpful staff, and the immaginative chef who was ready and willing to adapt dishes to suit all dietary requirements inc vegan (they even had vegan cherry pie!). Everything was really fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection. You get a feel that the staff are knowledge and enjoy working there. It was so good, that we recommended it to the owner of the Aber Falls cafe today, who coincidentally created some of the wooden fixtures and fittings in the bar apparently! We visit the mountains of Snowdonia quite regularly, and have saved this place in our memories to revisit.

Lovely Front of house staff.Booked a table the day before and still catered to our mobility issues. Great choice of menu. Food hot and fresh and reasonably priced. We look forward to regular visits

We were on holiday in the Marina area about 15 minutes walk away from the pub.We ate in the pub 3 times and the food was delicious every time.( The Sunday lunch was exceptional ) Outside to the front is a great beer garden with views of the Menai straights and we thoroughly enjoyed a glass of wine before our meal in the sun.The pub is really well run with lovely staff.We would certainly go again when in the area.

As soon as you walked in, all the staff were extremely friendly and eager to help out. We luckily found a table in the bar area which is where is allocated as dog-friendly. Alongside an extensive menu there’s a specials board, which had some great options. Although it was a busy night & they had to put a small hold on orders, staff made sure to come back when the time was right and take our order promptly. Food was also very quick to come out, great surprise. There were options for everyone, including vegan at each course. The food was all extremely tasty and you could tell it was homemade. The onion rings a particular highlight - nice and crisp. It was absolutely worth the drive to Garddfon Inn, and we highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Excellent Sunday lunch served by efficient and friendly staff. We will definitely be going back again.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, staff very friendly and welcoming and was able to accommodate 6 of us plus our dog in the bar area without us booking in advance. Great atmosphere, the service was excellent and food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

So friendly I was made to feel part of a warm welcoming family. Staff very quick and attentive. George, Rachel, Ben and of course the amiable landlord Dave all fantastic fun while still providing great customer service. They work like a well oiled machine

Stayed with my elderly mother. We loved the room which looked over the Menai Strait and was clean and had everything you need. The food in the bistro was fantastic, plenty of choice and lovely friendly service. Great value! Super friendly place to stay.

Fantastic food (check out the specials, they are very special), great beer, friendly staff and great views, especially if you sit outside. Would highly recommend

Very friendly and helpful staff. We had two evening meals whilst staying in Y Felinheli and both were great. The fish and chips were delicious and my children enjoyed the scampi and chips. On one of the evenings we enjoyed a pre-dinner drink sitting outside the pub overlooking the Menai Straits - just perfect! Would definitely recommend the pub - good pub grub served with a smile!

Great pub. We dined in the bistro. It was busy but the service was excellent. We all had various fish dishes and they were all delicious. Will definitely return when we are next in the area.

Are second visit to the Garddfon Inn , superb fish selection, and cooked to perfection by a chef who knows his trade , Could not have been more welcomed by Imogen and her staff,so professional and friendly, they seem to have picked the best. We have not visited this area since covid and whilst the Garddfon Inn was good before the new owners have upped the anti Well doe to a superb team My wife would eat here every night if she could. The food is amazing!!!

Found this place by chance having had to change our plans last minute. The staff were all super friendly and made us welcome straight away. We had a drink outside first with amazing views across the Menai Strait before heading in for our meal. The food was superb all being very fresh and the pie of the day was delicious. We would definitely return when in the area. A real hidden gem in a beautiful location.

So good we visited twice in three days! We were a party of six adults , a five year child and a young golden cocker spaniel so we booked ahead both times and were accomodated in the snug. Between us , over the two visits , we tried : steak , sea bass, mushroom linguine, curry of the day, chicken burger , fish and chips, ribs and two from the specials board plus the children’s sausage and mash. We also had every item on the desserts menu! Every single dish was delicious though the melt off the bone ribs need a special mention as does the sea bass which was just perfect ( everything on the plate just worked so well!) . It would be hard to pick a winning dessert - they all had them own merit - fabulous! The staff were lovely - friendly and helpful and the meal just went at a lovely pace . No lengthy waits but no feeling rushed either. Great location too as we had a bit of fresh air at the harbour front to wake us up after our feast …

They managed to squeeze us in for a last minute dinner booking on a Saturday evening, Imogen served us, and was super helpful in advising us on some lovely rum, and actually went above and beyond to advise us on options for a member of...

Found this little gem after visiting Greenwood Forest Park. Lovely location,plenty of choice on the menu, staff really friendly and helpful. Steak and cheese baguette with chips, salad and coleslaw was really tasty and fresh. Pie of the day was 'Cajun chicken' served with mash,...

Excellent little cosy local looking over the Menai Straight. Seating both in and out. Staff were friendly and chatty. Food was delicious and had a perfect homemade feel to it. Lovely for an afternoon drink too.

Without a doubt the best service from imogen and Chelsea! The food was outstanding from chef Liam and jay, my kids thoroughly enjoyed the mussels and rib starters followed by cheese burger and rib main, myself had the sirloin steak, which was cooked absolutely perfect!!

Great village, and the pub is in a perfect location! However, this used to be a lovely traditional pub, but now it’s full of television screens and the outside wall is really grubby. I’ve been there a couple of times in the last few months,...

Super pub minutes from our B&B We ate there both nights we were staying. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and arrived well presented and hot. We ate outside overlooking the Menai Straits. It's dog friendly too.

We called in not knowing what to expect. The food was AMAZING. Good size portions, good value. Great service. Would recommend a trip for anyone within an hour or so. Worth it.

Great local pub for a good meal. Ate there 3 times on a 6 night stay in the village and had excellent meals. Very reasonable prices for well presented, tasty dishes. Quite large portions too. Friendly, efficient staff and good dining experience. Quite a lively...

Fresh lobster caught that morning, delicious mussels - great food, great service. Chef Liam really has his game on!

We discovered this pub at the end of a bike ride from Caernarfon and enjoyed a drink looking out over the Menai Straits in the sunshine. We enjoyed it so much we went back every day for the rest of our holiday even though it...

A very poor meal - I chose a vegetarian curry and found two pieces of chicken in it. It appears that a curry is made and for the vegetarian option some spoonfuls are taken from the pot, vegetables are added and the meat is removed...

As someone who has a serious shellfish allergy I am always a little anxious about eating in restaurants. However, once I mentioned the issue Imogen could not have been more helpful. She advised me which meals would be safe for me, taking into account possible...

There was initially some confusion about our table as we had booked it for outside but apparently this ordinarily would not be the case & would be a case of first come, first serve (if wanting to eat outside). Nevertheless, there were 2 waiters (sorry...

What a fantastic place right next to the sea, sunshine and fantastic food! Special shout out to Sara who provided excellent customer service! This pub is a real gem of a place.

Visited with friends for a bar meal. Good choice on the menu with a few specials available too. Everyone enjoyed their meals (seafood mix grill, sea bass and burger), but didn’t have room for pudding! Worth a visit and will definitely visit again soon!

Even though they were busy we were given a six seater just for my partner and I and the two dogs, giving them the space they needed to chill without being disturbed. It was quite loud with lots of family fun going on but that's...

Not a bad little place to be. We stayed over for the night as well in one of the rooms (the background noise from a boiler or something meant my sleep wasn’t great). But we ate in the restaurant and enjoyed some great and well...

Amazing service, so friendly and welcoming. We stumbled onto this pub mid afternoon as my daughter was so hungry and when we entered they told us they’d stopped serving food. But the chef who was on a break said he’d make us something and it...

Superb afternoon tea - tasty variety of sandwiches (freshly made), lovely cake, scones, welsh cakes and bara brith. Loads of really tasty food and good tea/coffee. Very highly recommended. Flexible and friendly service in a pleasant restaurant area.

Lots to write, but let me start by say the burger is EPIC!! Lovely little pub, found by scrolling around TripAdvisor looking for somewhere better than the places we’d had suggested in Caernarfon which had proved to be a disappointment. Staff were all friendly and...
