Oyster Catcher in Isle of Anglesey

Visited on Mother's Day for lunch. Obviously very busy but coping wonderfully. Loads of effecient and friendly staff available. Roast lamb lunch for my wife and steak for me. Both exceptional. We have visited many tes over past years but I believe they are getting better and better. Welll done folks

The service was excellent but the food was disappointing and over priced

Called for Sunday lunch we had the burger and lamb as only lamb left. Was just about ok, mainly lamb and gravy, more veg required, waitress threw the over loaded gravy plate at us. Burger and fries again just about ok. Great atmosphere but food and service disappointing for the price paid

Couldn’t understand how 14 hour slow cooked lamb could be very rare , they willingly cooked it a touch more for my husband but was tough in places , rest of the meal was a bit bland

Nice staff. Nice food. Nice location. Nice ambiance

£20 for cod and chips but it was superb. Local smoked cwt mwg Mackrel was so smokey and fab.

Well,once again another lovely visit to The Oystercatcher yesterday for a birthday meal. Food was fantastic as usual,haloumi fries,crab,Korean BBQ wings for starters followed by OC burgers,rump steak and fish pie - thank you Chris.Special mention to the Korean wings-insanely good.Probably our 4th or 5th visit in the last couple of years,has to be my favourite restaurant. Location is stunning and a mention to our server Tom-really professional,great service throughout the meal. If you haven’t been here,you have to go.

The atmosphere and staff were absolutely lovely, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. Paying £24 for a mediocre burger (without chips) and £19 for a bland risotto felt disappointing. For the price, I expected much better quality and flavour

Nice interior, but overpriced and boring menu. The name is confusing cause there isn't a proper shellfish selection. Only oysters( £5.5 per unit). What a joke 😐

Great spot for a meal or just a drink. The menu is simple and nothing fancy, but the quality is excellent. There is a dog friendly section in the restaurant too.

A lovely meal at the oystercatcher. Excellent service from Tom who was attentive to us and our elderly dog. Can’t fault it in any way and the food was fantastic.

Wills bar is a good bar with a welcoming atmosphere but the prices are getting silly now, £6 a pint and £10.50 for double House vodka and tonic won't be visiting as often we normally do

Great location and setting. Polite helpful service. Called in for a drink on the way to Rhosneigor. Well worth a visit if in the area.

This restaurant is one of the best on the island. I was greeted today with a warm and friendly welcome. I was served by an attentive and professional gentleman called, Jack. The food is always consistently delicious and views from the restaurant are fabulous. I cannot recommend place enough.

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing veiws

Not great, not bad, just very very average, nice looking restaurant, staff were really friendly and very good at what they do, food was very average

Great food, great service, great place thank you 😊

Was nearby on Anglesey and had heard of this place numerous times, so gave it a go. Was Sunday lunch time ("early" - around 1230hrs) and didn't have a booking. Got a table by the window overlooking the lake (Llyn Maelog) - a few tables already filling up. Lovely inside and pleasant staff to welcome us to the table. Menu was to be expected for Sunday lunch and some nibbles & starters on offer. Went for the chorizo and whipped feta nibbles - amazing. The whipped feta was delicious. The only complaint is that I should have ordered 2, but tried to exercise at least some restraint. Chicken roast was good (chicken on the bone, so if that is not your thing, choose one of the others). Beef looked a perfect colour, and a generous serving. Trimmings were nice and had to have the pigs in blankets too! Service was pleasant throughout. Appeared to be plenty of staff on shift. Some cocktails were available too, adjacent table enjoyed some Margherita's which looked good. Probably need to book if you are any later, by the time we left around 1400hrs the majority of the tables were full. Also bar downstairs - I am sure this place would be quite the attraction come the warmer weather

Lovely location. Vegetarian options could be better. Noticed people stealing the nice salt cellars off other tables after people left. Not the restaurant fault but felt uncomfortable.

Waited 30mins for it to open but it never opened . Don't advertise your open if your not going to, very disappointed

Not impressed, we turned up after we were told the day before thel and not open what's happened I don't know

Nothing special, a bit disappointing, Just as the title of this review says, Food was well presented but very very bland which was a shame, might give a go again in the future

Went to the oyster catcher in rhosniger with the family. They refused to serve my son a pint even though he was with his mother and father, and at the age 23years old. They where watching us throughout the meal, which was making us feel very uncomfortable. The manager is an absolute drip. Food was terrible, service was shocking. I eould never go ever again.

Came for a casual evening and a bit of winter sun. Disappointed when I ordered one of their four cocktails (gin basil smash) and early on a Friday around 4.30pm they didn’t have any basil. We also ordered food from Pat’s Shack as a group. The prices on the menu are very cleverly written without pound signs and in a pale blue so less noticeable. Ended up ordering cheesy chips and afterwards my husband pointed out they were £9.50 and not only were they £9.50 they didn’t have any garlic butter on them because they’d run out yet still charged full price for them. Incredibly disappointing experience. One of the hot American pizzas also came without chillis on even though I’d said yes to chillis

Fab crispy duck salad starter with black cod for mains. Both delicious I’m Inspired to attempt the black cod recipe at home, the miso & honey on the cod was delicious. Attentive service and happy atmosphere made it an evening to remember 15 min slow walk to and from Rhosneigr was just long enough to comfortably digest before putting my feet up!

Great venue, Simple menu & quality food. Would certainly return when back in the area. Incredible chips.

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. They had 2 dogs so the dog area in the restaurant was ideal for them. The Sunday roast lamb was delicious with plenty of meat. The only disappointment for me was the savoy cabbage which I had trouble finding and was over cooked. The chocolate bread and butter pudding was also delicious. Service was attentive and friendly.

Great place, delicious food with great service. A must visit when staying in Rhosneigr. Love it!!

Very disappointing visit. Fish pie lukewarm and poor quality with an unusual watery sauce. Partners spaghetti dish wasn't hot. Will be going to alternative restaurants next time we visit rhiosneigr

Great food, excellent coeliac choices, we enjoyed Sunday lunch. They have a menu and area to eat with your dog. Highly recommend.

Fantastic fish and chips and the most cheerful servers :) thank you Sophie for the helpful recommendations!

Fab time had on New years Eve , the atmosphere was fabulous

Food was okay, but quite expensive for what it was. Pretty basic. Decent menu with varied options including for vegetarians. Nice location.

A pretty place with friendly and intelligent service. The food let the place down. Small portions, expensive for what it was, and bland. I tried a range of starters: crab croquettes, truffle fries, rocket salad, and haloumi fries.

Food was average although it was NYE but the place was very busy.

Fantastic place for a Walk on the Beaches and a meal afterwards, plenty of parking, very busy during the summer

Here on New Years Day and I had a great time the staff were all fantastic, very attentive and worked very hard, there was six of us and we all enjoyed our starters and main meals but we were all too full for deserts, we had a great time and will be back soon for sure 👏👏

Gorgeous location and fantastic service! We only planned to have a coffee but asked on the off chance about having food in the restaurant. The staff were really accommodating and found us a dog friendly table. The food was delicious. The dog loved her Mutts Nuts meat balls off the dog menu! We can’t wait to come back in the summer.

Excellent service as always. Definitely recommend A ++++

Loved the restaurant as a whole. My OC signature Beef burger was delicious. however the fish and chips were completely overcooked and had hardly any fish left inside. Prices were slightly on the high end, especially after spending £8.50 on a dessert with only 3 little churros and chocolate sauce.

First time at the Oyster Catcher, 12 of us for a family meal. It's a great setting and we will be back. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. We all really enjoyed everything, Tommy and the team couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Would recommend.

Beautiful food in a beautiful restaurant in a beautiful place. STARTERS/TAPAS The Crab Croquetas were crispy on the outside and didn’t taste fishy. The crab flavour worked well with the spicy-sweetness of the chilli jam which also added to the Hot Welsh Honey Hummus when the flatbread was dipped in it. The Hot Welsh Honey Hummus was creamy and you could tell it was homemade as you could taste the tahini. The flatbread was nicely charred and I could smell it as it came to our table. The sweetness of the honey paired well with the hummus especially when the chilli garnish was there. MAINS The Celtic Pride Beef Rump Steak was deeply umami , perfectly medium rare as I asked for it, and unusually for a rump steak it was the tenderest steak I have ever had. The chips were perfectly seasoned and the inside was so soft it was like fondant. The garlic butter was delicious and added very well to the steak. It also gave a unique umami flavour to the watercress when it first touched the tongue. The watercress was flavourful and a bit spicy as it should be. Of the drinks menu I chose Fentimans rose lemonade (this part is really just a review on Fentimans rose lemonade) which was light and flavourful. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was lovely with nice decor and the landscape was grassy, windswept sand dunes. Beautiful food in a beautiful restaurant in a beautiful place.

Always enjoy our visits here-only complaint would be the prices which are fairly keen sadly and no EV charging point which in this day and age is on oversight as more people switch to electric vehicles and with higher prices a little "energy" incentive would go a long way! Great place all the same, great staff and fabulous location with the sand dunes at the rear and the wonderful beaches of Rhosneigr only a few steps beyond. Highly recommend a visit!

Enjoyed the most amazing and delicious pre Christmas dinner here in early December. The food was outstanding (and I'm fussy), the drinks were perfect and the service great, we went the following night again as it was so good. We will definitely be back again when on Anglesey. The team delivered a great experience, thank you!

This was our third annual visit however was not up to par this evening. Service and food not up to previous standards or expectations. Had to send back lukewarm food as did the table next to us. Sadly we won’t be coming back.

Visited twice whilst on holiday - Sunday roast was fantastic as was the burger on other night. Dog friendly as well. Staff very nice and as off season parking really easy

Went for a Sunday lunch. Food was amazing! Decent portion sizes. Roast lamb was cooked perfectly. I personally would have liked my roast potatoes a bit crispier. My partner had a steak, I think it was a little bit cheeky to charge £4 extra for peppercorn sauce where most other places it is included. But this was also cooked perfectly. It was a warm, cozy atmosphere but was quite loud at times and hard to hear but would definitely go again.

Came here for a Sunday roast with a large group of people and I can’t recommend this place more! The food was absolutely incredible and I’d honestly quite like to work my way through the whole menu, it all sounds divine and if the roast dinner was anything to go by, the rest of the meals will be superb. I will definitely be coming back here again and you won’t be sorry if you choose to eat here too!

Fantastic location, service, food and friendly and helpful staff. Very dog friendly. The crab salad was fantastic. Highly recommended. Just been back again. Just as good. Great food, drink and staff

Amazing experience, 10/10 Sunday made special roast..starters, main course and dessert Lovely beach close by 💯💯💯

Unbelievable food in an amazing setting and great service from the staff. Wish we lived closer!

My pet hate is sticky tables. The tables were sticky, but it shouldn't stop anybody from visiting this place. The food is really first class, the service spot on and the location fabulous

Lovely beach bar, quality food, plenty of indoor seating, dog friendly

Fish was raw had to send back, my meal was replaced.

Lovely ambience in Will’s bar, not cheap but nice to be in. Been in a good few times over the years, but the pizza from Pat’s Shack is not really good enough. The menu sells “American Hot” which has Pepperoni, Fresh chillies, mozzarella, Parmesan, fresh oregano” Unfortunately there wasn’t any fresh chillies or fresh oregano. Poor considering the price is £12.50 The staff at pats shack aren’t particularly engaging or enthusiastic about being there. All in all it feels like an overpriced menu for a captive audience I’m sorry to say. Shame.

Fab meal to finish our holiday, we loved Wills Bar anyway but promised ourselves a meal in the restaurant to finish a lovely week away from stress and busy city live. This was just perfect. Fab food lovely atmosphere, dog friendly, superb service.

I’ll start with the positive, friendly staff, great decor & ambience. Then the negatives, we were waiting for over 35 minutes for food, then were very disappointed. The pizzas are advertised as hand-stretched, but did seem more likely to be pre-bought. Cheesy chips were good, but £9 is excessive. The fishfinger sandwich was the most disappointing, thick, dry, batter, very little fish in one fishfinger in a cheap hot dog bun for £13.50. Might return for a drink, but will eat elsewhere!

Went here for my wife's birthday with our son and 2 dogs. The restaurant is sat in a beautiful place and felt very welcoming. The staff were very welcoming, polite and checking to make sure everything was satisfactory. The decor was spot on, set out to feel warm and cosy and it definitely made you relax and feel comfortable. The food was fantastic too although my wife would have preferred sliced chicken rather than off the bone but that's a preference thing. We started with oysters, first time ever, chicken dinner for my wife, our baby boy and 2 doggie chicken dinners and I had rump beef roast dinner. Finished off with treacle sponge and custard for my wife ( shared with our baby boy and I has meringue with a delicious blueberry cream. All 10/10 except my wife's chicken but she still marked it as a solid 7. Overall it was a really nice afternoon and we even planned on going back later in the holiday. Now to the not so good bit. Later on in the early hours I woke feeling rather queezy, tried to sleep it off but all of a sudden I had to quick sharp march to the toilet. I spent the next 3 hours being ill from both ends non stop. I woke my wife to sleep in the babbies room ( we take it in turns on holiday) as I was seriously ill. My wife appeared OK, that was until later in the morning when she became seriously ill too. Aching bones, shivering and chills, explosive vomiting and the runs and an awful awful feeling of being ill. We have both never felt so ill and that includes having covid and bad migraines it was just horrendous. Even our 2 doggies had the runs but luckily the babbie was OK. Now we are not ones to normally complain or leave a bad review but you can't ever forget an experience like that. We put it down to the oysters but with the doggies have a dodgy belly we wondered if the food was prepared on an unclean surface. The food we ate was the only food we ate that day, and the day before was just what we normally eat at home with both myself and my wife rating different things. The meal cost us 125 pound which to most people including us is an awful lot of money but at the time it was worth it. Also after reading a previous review where one of them also had food poisoning and were offered a free drink if they were ever in the area again, well is just an insult. I understand it is hard to prove if you contacted food poisoning from a certain establishment and you could just be lying but believe me we reckon it was the oysters although the doggies were poorly so it could have been the chicken even though I had beef, but no definitely oysters and as a lover of fish dishes I am now put off for life from eating anything from the sea as is my wife. Just think there needs to be more sincerity from restaurants, cafes, food establishments that serve food that makes you ill. It's ashame really as this review would have been better and maybe would have helped bring more customers to this establishment.

Pricey for simple food. Ketchp not brought to the table for my sons chips and burger, , though we asked twice.

We had to wait a full hour for our food to come and when it came it was cold the waiter kept on saying 10 more minutes the food came half an hour after that

Had Sunday lunch here and the food and service was excellent. The best roast beef ever! A great experience and the place is outstanding

We arrived for lunch, and sat in Will’s Bar and ordered from Pat’s Shack. You have to order drinks from Will’s Bar from grumpy bar staff who shout at you, and then walk outside to order food from disinterested teenagers. Having cleared our own table from the last diners’ very dirty fries and pizza boxes, we waited 30 mins for food. On arrival, the Dog’s Pollocks were two fish fingers in thick, greasy batter placed in cheap, dry brioche hotdog buns with sauce. £13.50 each for that, plus £5 for a portion of fries. Maybe upstairs is better.

Stunning food and great service in this gorgeous location 😍

Beautiful food lovely friendly staff nothing was touch

I always recieve a warm welcome at the OC. The staff are helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself is beautiful and the food is next level. Best fish and chips on the island, and the chocolate brownie is amazing! Would recomend and I definately will be going back soon.

Totally enjoyed our visit to the Oystercatcher. Great tasty food and Bracken our Irish terrier was served with a doggy dinner in the form of a chicken dinner. Great food. Excellent service and friendly staff. We will definitely be visiting the Oystercatcher again when visiting Anglesey. Ardderchog.

Had the monkfish and prawn curry. Superb. It's a great building with good views. The staff are helpful & friendly. Plenty of walking opportunities close by

Very busy downstairs & everyone had dogs including us

An expensive meal and not good. The starter was ok. The crab croquettes were good. The main courses were disappointing, the curry had prawns with their shells on so difficult to eat and the flavor wasn't great. The risotto was inedible, very oily and tasteless. The crumble was ok but too much pineapple. A shame because the menu looked great and we were looking forward to it.

We had our anniversary meal here tonight and can't say a bad thing about our dining experience. From the moment we arrived we were treated very well. The food was amazing I had the fish and chips the portions were massive the fish batter was light and crispy and the chips are big and chunky and well cooked. My wife had the lamb leg which she says was very tender and tasty and lovely mashed potatoes and all the trimmings. The desserts were generous portions and also very nice. We just wanted to thank all the staff for making our anniversary meal so very nice. Look forward to comming bk

Lovely afternoon meal at The Oyster Catcher, the food was absolutely delicious, service was fantastic. We had a fabulous time in the beautiful restaurant with views around Rhosneigr. Very dog friendly with its own doggy menu!

Great food .Excellent service and great views from out of the restaurant windows Well worth a visit if your ever passing

Totally disappointing. Sunday roast horrible. Chicken dry, portions small and prices too high for quality and quantity. Waitress disappeared before end of meal.

Another lunch not booked in advance, but really was delicious. Attention to detail for the food presentation was very good. Loved every moment of our meal.

Great place to visit for a drink and a bite to eat

Couldn't fault it, excellent modern place efficient staff good location plenty of parking dog friendly. Food was epic very very nice.

Fantastic Sunday lunch today. Can't wait to come back .

Went for a bar lunch, the food from Pat's shack was pricey for what it was, drinks and service lovely though

Brilliant. Home made chunky chips and real pepper corn sauce. Will be going again. I had the steak mmmmmm. Dog friendly too.

Ate at Pat's shack, below the restaurant. Beautiful day so we ate outside where there's loads of room and masses of seating.

Very poor service, very rude to us it was very disappointing it was much better last time we were here. It was meant to be a lovely evening out but it was ruined by poor staff.

Great place in the sand dunes, dogs welcome

When it's very early and very quiet there's no excuse for several dirty tables.

Stopped off here on the way to the beach. Really great vibe/place. They have two menus. We had the cheaper bar menu. Food was excellent although you have to fetch it too suit We sat in the balcony but there’s plenty of outside space. Waitress wasn’t the best but the next one was lovely. Hence the service low score

Our go-to dinner option on the island - great food, drinks & dessert options. Can make several dishes gluten free too!

First rate food and service. I heartily recommend the mussels.

Long time since I had been there, it was after the Timpsons had sold out standards dropped, they bought it back again and back to normal.

We always visit here when travelling to Anglesey. Great food, service and priced well.

It cannot be denied that this restaurant is spoilt with an amazing building in an equally amazing location. Unfortunately the food simply doesn't do it justice. It's average at best and there are plenty of other restaurants in the area that will serve you a better meal for a better price. I would still suggest a visit to this location, but perhaps just for a drink on the wonderful terrace before going somewhere else to eat.

After passing the Oyster Catcher for many years we finally had the opportunity to book for an evening meal in the restaurant whilst staying locally. Sadly I wish we hadn't bothered and will not be visiting again. Whilst the food and presentation was very nice the price of the food compared to what you received sadly didn't hit the mark. We felt the food was extremely overpriced and felt you're paying for the name and location rather than just the food. The staff seemed over-stretched and didn't seem to be focused on anyone.

Great staff, atmosphere and location. Food has been a disappointment three times now. My biggest complaint every time is the desserts, flavourless gunk mascarading as cheesecake or chocolate mousse served in a jam jar. A jam jar! Sorry but a little imagination, like a saucer perhaps, or in a dish, but a jam jar?

The location is stunning! It’s dog friendly outside and in the bar and it has a great lunch menu. Is it fine cuisine (in the bar this is not eaten in the restaurant)? No - but it’s delicious much nicer than average pub grub - and the small pizza stand is great! It’s a fantastic place and we try to drop in whenever we’re nearby.

Amazing outdoor area, relaxed, on the beach and dog friendly!!

Very dog friendly. Love the dining area for people with dogs

After a quite unpleasant, bland and overcooked meal, I got food poisoning (I suspect from an oyster) and was violently ill that whole night. They didn't really care, or even believe me. They depend mainly on tourist trade, so know they'll have no shortage of customers no matter what.

Great place with a couple of different bars downstairs. Atmosphere, food & service are excellent & all the staff are professional, polite & friendly, highly recommended

All five dishes had large chips which were still very firm inside and felt undercooked when eating. For food was not worth the price!

We had heard several reviews of this restaurant and after a family walk we called in on the chance that we might get a table. There were 12 of us and were given a table directly in front of the kitchen where we were able to look at the kitchen staff working. Most of my party ,children and adults enjoyed it ,Burgers and fries etc, but I was disappointed because I thought it was going to be something special. What was a concern however was the person running the kitchen who constantly put the food on the plates using his hands . He never once washed his hands even after wiping his nose or removing sweat from his forehead and once he pushed a tub of chips into a fellow chefs face before putting it on someone's plate It is a very popular place and in a nice spot. By all means try it but try to sit and enjoy the view not the kitchen

We last visited a year ago and came back for a meal on our family holiday again this year. Love the setting, food was nice but service was poor. It wasn’t full as the weather wasn’t great, but still waited ages between starter and main, didn’t get asked if we would like another drink even though we had finished them before the main, had to ask for a desert menu, when desert came… we had no spoons and I just had to get them myself and lastly had to ask for bill twice. Was a real shame as it could be so lovely. Only complaint with food was £4 for gravy with the fish & chips… gravy was very watery and a ridiculous price but the fish was amazing.
