Oyster Catcher in Isle of Anglesey

This is an excellent pub .staff are very friendly and efficient. What an excellent building and place . Food is excellent. Everything about this place is spot on . Barrie and Emma

Vegetarian option was tasteless, as was my daughters none vegetarian option. Staff were very nice. We did get a 25% discount but this did not help to reduce the taste of such awful meals.

found this place by trip adviser as we where looking for somewhere we could take the dog we had with us. Didn't disappoint - lovely food sat out on the balcony section at the back. Is worth taking a coat as just sitting you do feel the chill but had a lovely lunch then walked it off on the beach - came back and had a cheesecake desert. Was busy but well run and food was timely and service super friendly - would recommend.

Ok, this place is a find! Admittedly we were at a seafood restaurant and ate beef but to say it was heaven on a plate is not an understatement. The building is amazing, the view is even better and the staff were all lovely! We will definitely be back!!

Came a few years ago and came back again on this trip, wasn’t disappointed. Lovely food with a lovely setting surrounded by sand dunes. Good friendly and quick service. Served by Mia. Had the Goan curry and the Husband had the mussels. Both lovely.

Had an excellent evening here with my brother and sister in law. Our waitress, Erin, was excellent - very attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was great. The chef, Jesse and all the team provided good quality food . An brilliant experience from start to finish. Well done all the team.

Awful 😢 we waited over an hour for our food, which when it finally arrived was mediocre. This was in a Monday goodness knows was a fiasco it would be web it was busy ! I definitely do not recommend

Returning to the area after a long time away, we were delighted to be welcomed and served by Erin; attentive, warm and chatty, she made our dining experience. We enjoyed beautiful food and a fantastic dining experience.

Excellent food and great service. We visited for my wife’s birthday. We both had the lobster which was perfectly cooked. The banana split dessert was also scrumptious. Staff were polite attentive and friendly and even gave my wife a free birthday lemoncello. Well worth a visit

Having had a lovely lunch, at The White Eagle Rhoscolyn yesterday, today we decided to try its sister establishment, The Oyster Catcher. Again we were not diesappointed. A lovely warm welcome for us and our dogs inside. As we are of the older generation we do not eat large meals so just had two starters. Both were very tasty and plenty enough for us. The only thing I would say is that it may have done with some lighter meals for lunchtime.

Great views and good food including fish dishes and burgers. Large car park. The only downside was it was very noisy with unsupervised babies and children.

We had an evening meal at the Oyster Catcher last week, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the food and the service were excellent. Thought it was a nice touch that we were given a card telling us the name of our waitress and our chef. Can only compliment both Aiden (the chef) and Katie (our waitress) for a delicious meal and excellent service. Whilst chatting to Katie, we were amazed to learn that she had only worked there for a few weeks - on that basis, we expect she’ll be running the place when we return next year! Thank you for a lovely evening, we will be back.

The staff were very helpful and professional. We were a group of seven and all of our food was lovely, no complaints at all. We were in there for quite a while and didn’t feel rushed to leave at any point. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and it was in a beautiful setting and the interior was decorated flawlessly

We visited The Oyster Catcher today after pre booking for a table of 5. We had a beautiful view from the upper dining room. The staff were very attentive and were so kind is assisting our friends with mobility issues by showing the way to the lift and disabled toilet. The menu is awesome with plenty of fish dishes on offer. One member of our party had the Welsh burger and advised it was top notch. Two members of the party had surf and turf which was half a lobster and steak again with a big thumbs up!!! My friend and I had the Seafood platter to share. What an absolute treat and worth every single penny. It consisted of half a lobster, smoked mackerel, smoked salmon, cockles, brown and white crabmeat, oysters, taramasalata, olives, bread and we ordered a side of chunky chips - yummy. Again we must say the staff were top notch and the chefs incredible. A nice walk to the beach afterwards resulted in a very agreeable afternoon by the sea.

My husband and i came here two weeks ago for an evening meal, and whilst being quite apprehensive about the place after the few recent reviews i can safely say there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, the food was absolutely top class, i had the fish and chips and i can say it was to die for!!! The service was absolutely impeccable, a huge thank you to our absolutely amazing waitress Mari!! She made us feel very welcomed and never made us feel like we were asking too much! Could tell she was very busy made us feel like her only table! And all the other staff were lovely and helpful as well!What a place, will definitely be returning in a couple of months! cant wait to have the fish and chips again

My family and I visited The Oyster Catcher a number of times during our stay in Rhosneigr earlier this month, and were always very happy with everything about it. The staff were friendly, the service was good, and the food was delicious.For anyone who is still wary about visiting restaurants in these days of masks and Covid, there is plenty of room outside, and both the terrace and the garden offer great views of the nearby sand dunes! There were plenty of 'hand sanitising stations' outside, and signs on the doors asking people to wear masks inside the building.Any birdwatchers reading this might like to bag a table with a view of the nearby lake. We saw a fantastic murmuration of starlings at about 8:00 one evening!

The Oystercatcher is in a very attractive building amongst the dunes and this attracted us to eat there this evening, as well as generally good reviews. We were expecting a somewhat fancier menu than that on offer but the food we had was excellent. Katie gave us first class service - she was both friendly and professional. From our meal, I particularly recommend the mussels and we both enjoyed the surf and turf. The ambience was good and overall we had a very pleasant evening.

5/5. Fabulous food and brilliant service. Seafood was delicious and portions really generous. Nothing was too much trouble. Can't fault, will definitely be back.

We had a lovely afternoon here. Such a beautiful location, welcoming staff, great original ideas for the menu but not executed very well. We would still go back and would hope that things improve when times are not so difficult. The staff sang the praises of the owners and said they were treated exceptionally well by them, so I would really like this place to get back to the top where it should belong. Good luck!

Really enjoyed our visits to The Oyster Catcher! We had drinks in the garden one night and ate in the restaurant another! Dog friendly which is great! Food was lovely! Crab on toast to start and a Goan fish curry for me and monkfish tail him! Really loved ambiance, views and service!

I had a delightful experience at the oyster catcher today, the staff were lovely especially a young girl named Naomi, she was very polite and helpful when needed.I would recommend going to the oystercatcher, not only did I love it but so did my kids. A great menu for all!

Had such a lovely experience last night, the hostess Paige managed to squeeze us in last minute and we were so grateful. My wife had a mojito and I had a Welsh Pride (recommended by our waiter Michael) it was lovely!We enjoyed a calamari starter between us and I personally really enjoyed the Chorizo (again recommended by our waiter). Followed by a half lobster and the biggest fish and chips we’ve ever seen!Food was absolutely outstanding and everyone could see how busy the front of house staff were but each of them shone through and made us feel extremely welcome, Michael was extremely busy and still managed to make us feel like we were the only people there, including our pup Harry, who really enjoyed his biscuits. Big thank you to him for making our experience the best possible. We shared a Banana Split and 2 Americano’s for dessert. Amazing!!!!The Oyster catcher is a fabulous location and the staff are an absolute credit to the place!Well Done Michael and all the team that served us!We Will Be Back!!!!

After this being given a superb recommendation from friends and family we were really looking forward to our visit to TOC. Initial impressions were good as the staff were helpful in bringing forward our dining slot a couple of hours. On arrival we found the signage towards the restaurant a little confusing but it’s minor point. My initial thoughts on the restaurant were that it looked nice with fabulous picture windows and a nice combination of traditional chairs and booth style seating. However after being seated and starting to look about us we noticed that things were looking a little ‘tired’ and in need of a good refresh. Following this we noticed my wife’s wine glass was full of marks and not clean at all. The cutlery on the table was also not very clean. Fortunately our table was set for 6 so there was enough to find a couple clean sets and avoid having to main to the wait staff, but it doesn’t fill one with confidence before eating. Not just at TOC but I’d been quite surprised that all 4 restaurants we ate at during our Anglesey trip had returned to paper menus as opposed to phone app,which were not new either and a little ‘grubby’ and whilst every shop / restaurant we visited required us to wear face masks it seemed a little counterintuitive? Anyway onto the food.. my wife enjoyed her fish n chips but I felt her chips weren’t great (tasted like reheated or old) my burger was just OK I found the bun not toasted, which I would expect and extremely soft which just disintegrated in my hands leaving me to have to use a knife and fork, not great. The fries were limp and undercooked far from crispy golden fries. These may seem like trivial issues to most but when you are paying £15 for burger and fries I’d expect them cooked to perfection. I didn’t main to wait staff about any of the above as I feel they shouldn’t need telling this sort of thing should be the norm. Based on previous commendations I’d hope that this was just a ‘one off’ and maybe I’ll give them some slack as it’s probably the end of a long season and I accept hospitality has had it very hard recently

This is a fabulous place to visit in Rhosneigr, we had excellent food and a really warm and friendly service from Michael. Thanks for making our first visit so memorable Michael.

Son and his partner had a great meal here last year but, after reading some of the very negative comments left recently on Trip Advisor we booked with a little trepidation.However, we were not dissapointed. Our large dog was welcomed, staff were very pleasant and attentive, service was paced just right and the food ( Calamari, Crab, Mussels, Pasta and a Burger) was oustanding. Probably the best mussels I've had outside of France.Highly recommend this place. We will most certainly be back!

We weren't here yesterday and was immediately hit with the stunning views of the building and the atmosphere. We weren’t booked in but kindly managed to squeeze us in. The whole night was fantastic and i can tell all the staff have been working so hard after covid and everything. Cheers to them, but a special mention to our server Cerys she was attentive and made sure our night was at the best quality. The food itself was amazing best calamari ever and the 1/2 lobster i had for main had the loveliest butter on it all arrived with good timing as well.

Myself and my family booked a table for an evening meal, from booking to arriving it was extremely easy and professional. The lady who I spoke to on the phone called Lois was extremely helpful. Upon arrival I was abit flustered with the kids as I forgot their headphones for their tablets however the young lady who greeted us called Kami put us as ease, she sat us in a booth so the kids were able to watch their ipads on low without disturbing any other diners. Food was great and the wine was lovely, was very busy but the staff all worked extremely hard to ensure every table was happy. 100% would recommend this restaurant I was unsure after reading some of the negative reviews but clearly these people must have slept through the global pandemic. It was an extremely pleasant experience and we will 100% be returning.

First time here but with all the hype of it from friends I expected so much more. I had half a lobster (£18.00) and it was so small, if I’m honest should have stayed in the sea. Came on a salad garnish. Lobster was dry and over cooked Finished with a knickerbocker glory This was poor, cream over whipped and 1 piece of meringue Service nothing special at all.For 3 of us bill was £140 Won’t rush back

This is a wonderful restaurant with excellent facilities and great views. The food is first class and quick to arrive, and the staff are great. Special mention to Katie who was delightful in every way, took great care of us, was friendly and very hard-working, and made a great experience even better.

Thanks for our last minute booking - excellent food, and friendly service from Kami and co. Great to be able to take our dog into the restaurant too!

Came for lunch with a group of friends, had high expectations as everyone raves about this place. Unfortunately, we were all disappointed. The service was slow and unfriendly. No smiles, no attentiveness. There was only one other table so absolutely no reason for the service to be so dismal. Staff seemed tired and uninterested. Desperately need more training in every area. Sunday roast was okay. Fish and chips was average, if anything, it was over cooked and rubbery which you wouldn’t expect from a seaside restaurant. Menu says Coke but it turned out to be Pepsi…The venue itself is great in regards to location. Music upstairs is so odd and doesn’t match the interior vibe. Downstairs music is pop and completely different vibes from inside. Not offensive but just a strange combination. Wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t return.

We live locally and have had a few lovely meals here pre-Covid. This visit, however, was very different. The service was slow and the staff seemed disinterested. We both ordered steak and chips. I can honestly say it was a cheek to send those meals out from the kitchen. The steak was over cooked and tough, sitting in a pool of oil with the remnants of whatever else had been cooked in the same oil. The pepper sauce was like water with a few peppercorns floating in it and the taste was awful. Seemed like a packet mix. The manager offered us a replacement meal but after waiting not far off an hour for such a disappointing meal we opted to just leave. The meals were taken off our bill but they made sure to charge us for the two minute bottles of coke we ordered to have with our meal! It’s a pity for local people that this place isn’t somewhere we can visit.

A great night enhanced by our lovely waitress Cerys, the food and overall atmosphere was great, would recommend.

SETTING ... BEAUTIFULSET UP .. EXCELLENT.SERVICE... WHAT SERVICEFOOD... PRE COOKED AND DRIED UPworst culinary experience had for along time, don't get me wrong ,the staff tried their best but there were too few of them, I actually felt sorry for them.Would not recommend.Oh and way overpriced.Still waiting for the wine that was ordered with the meal.

I’m always wary about recommending a restaurant ( or book you must read, film you must see etc) because it might lead to disappointment. However we went for lunch today and everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive staff serving delicious food in a most attractive setting. The restaurant itself is well designed so that you are well spaced and soft furnishings absorb the noise. The place is spotlessly clean. There is an extensive menu with many interesting choices. Plenty of seafood. I asked my husband what score he would give it, he immediately said 10 as everything was faultless.

We’ve been a few times and are never disappointed. Last Saturday we were looked after by Findley. Best visit ever. Good luck Findley. You’ll go far.

Super location and great food ☺️ appears to be very difficult to get a reservation as so popular - a very good sign! Highly recommended- great views - great food matched by the highly attentive staff, thank you!

I live in Rhosneigr the Oyster Catcher is brilliant. They do so much for the community employ over 67 local workers. The service food is always brilliant Omg they have worked so hard over the summer season. It’s been totally mad. But through everything that going Covid sometime staff have been off I have always had a welcome and good food and always enjoy my visit When I go out I understand the pressure they are all under. I enjoy my meal and don’t like to be rushed. For those of you that moan. You obviously don’t know how hard the chefs , barmen , and waitresses male or female work have to work for long hours. I would like to thanks Tommy and all the staff brilliant. Will be back again next week Top notch. X I forgot to take photos phone not needed. Relaxing meal and evening Carry on the good work.

Great place to eat. Friendly helpful staff superb atmosphere down stairs in pat’s shack. The prawnoghraphy was amazing

I went to the Oystercatcher Pat’s Shack. I will not be visiting again or recommending this restaurant to my family or friends. Expensive poor quality takeaway food with small portions.

I wish I could review with a 0/5 - because that would be the most accurate.We had a reservation for 7pm for 2 people, they didn’t have a table prepared and were overall confused. I asked if we could sit outside since the indoor options were pretty poor.After 20 minutes no one had even looked at us. We asked management and they told us to ‘grab a girl’ (which was - truth be told VERY inappropriate)’10 minutes later and still no one had even looked at us. We then left to grab a chippy in the town as we felt unwelcome,We can only assume it’s because the table was under a local name and we spoke with a local accent - everyone around us speaking with a Mancunian or Scouse accent seemed to be served without issue. Seems to me that the Oyster Catcher is Xenophobic.It seems to me that locals are not welcome here.

We had the pulled barbecue beef and the seafood salad,both were tasty and good value. The service was efficient and there was only a short wait for it to arrive. Plenty of parking and dog friendly. We will go again next time we are on Anglesey. A shame that Rhosneigr has pathetic parking for the beach to enable less mobile people to access the beach. It's a lovely beach and the village could make better use of it.

We had a lovely meal here, this weekend very pleasant, good portion size and reasonable priced. Service was prompt and then we sat on the garden terrace, enjoying a bottle of wine in the sun. Lovely experience and will book again, when we’re visiting Anglesey.

We called in here unplanned & unbooked. The staff were great, the decor though modern suited the building, The staff were helpful & efficient, we were found a table straight away. The food arrived quickly, The calamari was to die for, The burgers were excellent, tasty & plenty of it. We are both very satisfied & will be back ! PS They are dog friendly

I have had a great summer in the OC. Any previous issues regarding food consistency have been addressed, the atmosphere is great on a sunny day and they even got a television in the bar for the Euros and Olympics. The staff are always helpful, though I suspect it helps that when I book a table I am well mannered enough to turn up on time. Just to avoid confusion the Oyster Catcher is a restaurant, hence it's listing under restaurant and not a camp site to park your old campervan on overnight.

We enjoyed an excellent meal in the restaurant with fantastic service from Erin. We also visited for take out pizza one night and ate on the outside balcony which was lovely.

Emailed ahead to book, requesting an outside table, got a confirmation email back. Then arrived to be told the outside area was closed due to the wind "everything would just blow away". Odd, as it was no more windy than any other Anglesey day, the weather was good, sun was shining. As we left we realised most outside tables, upstairs and downstairs, were taken by people who had food from their downstairs shack/bar areas, none of them being blown away. Evidently they just didn't want to staff the outside area but hadn't wanted to turn down a booking.Also was disappointing to wait 30 mins even to order drinks, waiting staff so highly skilled in avoiding the gaze of people sitting down that we had to get up and ask someone if we could order, as people who arrived 15 mins after us were already ordering.Nice food though.

We visited for food after visiting a pub which had stopped serving for the afternoon. Thank God they did or we might not have discovered the Oyster Catcher.The staff were friendly and attentive, the food and drinks were spot on, the ambience was relaxing, the place is well presented and contemporary but unpretentious. We we made to feel very welcome, as was our dog and it's great to see somewhere that still embraces table service, despite restrictions being eased.It's a shame we had to drive because we would have loved to stay much longer.

Location is great and restaurant is well designed. The acoustics are a bit difficult with crying children filling the room with so much sounds it was difficult to talk. Service was slow and most staff seemed less than happy to be working. It took a long time to have an order taken, although when the food arrived it was good. The mussels were very good as was the monkfish. Some friendly smiles from the staff and them not avoiding customers eyes would make a big difference. Cutlery and glasses were not clean.

We went here with friends for my wife's birthday. The food was good and very reasonably priced especially as we all had surf n turf which included a half lobster. My only criticism would be the service which needs to be improved as we asked for wine to go with the meal yet despite repeated requests, it arrived after we had finished eating. They also tried to charge us for bottled water as they had no tap water due to a fault, but when they are legally obliged to provide water as a licensed premises. Otherwise it is a nice venue and location and I woukd recommend a visit.

Very impressive restaurant. Excellent service from our server Haley.Good calamari nice dipping sauce.Wonderful pea soup.Lobster not so good very little meatServed on just salad leaves. Sirloin speak well cooked. Cheeseburger Wonderful. Cheese Cake amazing. Overall a lovely dinning experience Would book again but no Lobster.

Had an evening meal here on Tuesday 24th August whilst on a family break what can I say absolutely loved it here the decor is all beach themed and modern which I thought was really nice the setting is amazing right near the beach and the lake amazing views on the outdoor balcony and the food was beautiful I had all three courses starting with the chicken liver pate then had the fillet steak with peppercorn sauce and dessert was the mint choc chip tart I also took a pic of the hubby's dessert he had the same other two courses but opted for the lemon and ginger cheesecake for pudding we all thoroughly enjoyed would definitely return again

Busy Bank Holiday Weekend and the staff were still friendly and helpful, as always. We ate both in the restaurant and also had food from Pat’s Shack and can’t recommend either highly enough. During busy periods be prepared to wait for food from Pat’s but it’s definitely worth the wait

Ambiance: Excellent Views: superb Service: Courteous and efficientMenu AdequateGluten Free choices: dismalIf you can have GF fries it is a pity they can’t offer GF battered fish or even a GF brioche bun to go with a burger, this is a minimum in most restaurants now. When we asked about a bare burger they couldn’t guarantee there wasn’t gluten in the mince? Most of the menu could easily be gluten free without incurring extra cost or work. This is quite a lazy GF menu. Love this place but would go back begrudgingly, I am not coeliac but my wife is and it really spoils the experience when your partner is left with a distinctly average (quite boring) meal.

Fantastic location with wonderful views.My friend had a salad with chicken which she said was very good.I had steak with chips, both of which were very good. However half a tomato and a little water cress is too little as accompianment. The meal would have been significantly improved with say onion rings and mushroom.

Dirty fries with lobster or beef brisket amazing, hospitality was 5*, manager extremely professional, and after slight mix up, made up for it 10 fold. Great location, great staff, brilliant food Come and visit, you won’t be disappointed

We really struggled to find places to eat in Rhosneigr (I think they are finding it difficult to get chefs) thank goodness for the Oystercatcher! First night we had pizza & fries from the shack, we hadn't realised that you can eat these inside so that was a bonus as weather was chilly. Managed to book a table upstairs the next night. Food was great. My husband is quite picky & was pleased to see the steak came cooked as he had asked & that the food didnt come covered with dressings etc. 2 steaks, 1 pud, 2 beers & a nice bottle of Shiraz was just under £80 which we thought was good value. Waitress was lovely, overall service was excellent. Thank you Oystercatcher, keep up the good work.

Best pizza ever!We loved stopping at this place. Nice atmosphere and great service. I had a lovely Aperol spritz and a FANTASTIC pizza Margherita. Being Italian I am fussy about pizza and this has been the best pizza I have had in the U.K. so far. Nicely cooked with fresh ingredients. BRAVO!

Nice pizzas, nice beers, nice location, nice staff. Jules was fantastic. Lifesaver! Can't go far wrong here.

Fairly disappointed unfortunately. Had the plate of 9 oyster to start and these were very small and then I had the full lobster and my other family members had the surf and turf. The steak was very fatty and not nice at all, the staff were excellent and removed this from my bill. The food in general was good, but small and overall disappointing. To be totally fair the place and setting is amazing and really beautiful, I did speak to the staff and as I said they did remove the steaks from my meal, which was good customer service, summary would be for the price of lobster and oysters m, was disappointing. You will see from the pictures the food is well plated and served nicely, but very little in terms of taste and meat. Hopefully I had a poor day for the catch.

Pleasing modern trendy establishment with a 1st floor restaurant and a small downstairs bar where you can eat informally, However the decor and lighting in the downstairs bar feels cold, the layout is bitty with limited seating so soon fills up so you don’t feel able to relax there a while. Bring totally detached from the restaurant chatter and hubbub it very much gave off a transient atmosphere. The saving grace was that the bar staff were friendly and helpful. Main restaurant is upstairs and if you choose to be seated outside on the decking area be forewarned it’s very windy which I found uncomfortably chilly even on a sunny afternoon. Found the food and alcohol to be overpriced consequently this restricted us to just a main course. Waiting on was slow and lacking unfortunately. We suspected they were short staffed and made allowances, if so it isn’t the fault of the waiting on staff. Overall the lacklustre atmosphere, staff issue and pricing has put us off going again.

After driving a couple of hours, we stopped off here as it was in a great location. We planned a long evening with a few drinks and a delicious meal. However when we asked at the bar if we could keep our tiny vw campervan parked overnight (next to the sand dunes) whilst we eat and drink we were flatly refused and told use a campsite! Charming. The idea of this was to give us a break from campsites for one night.........

Absolutely amazing place to eat. Great customer service and the food was beautiful. We had the crab on toast starter, mussels and monkfish and every dish was full of flavour and delicious. It’s nice to visit a dog friendly venue that doesn’t just serve pub grub. Worth paying a bit extra for the meals. Beautiful venue with lovely views and atmosphere.

Such a lovely place. Weather was poor but we managed to get a table in the restaurant for lunch. The outside area was packed with many families and dogs in a great dunes setting. Outside area is great with a smart street food shack and a bar for snacks. The restaurant is modern and has great views and more importantly, great food and service. What a fantastic place to eat and enjoy local seafood and beers. A thoroughly great place to eat. Highly recommended.

Such a lovely setting for drinks and dinner! Came here with my friend for a long over due trip together. The food was amazing, we both got lobster for our mains and the drinks were tasty too! Downstairs the bar area was lively and there was a great atmosphere in the restaurant and the bar downstairs. Highly recommend!

The food was really good and an interesting bar menu.The ordering process wasn’t made very clear by staff on arrival but not to take away from the tasty lunch we enjoyed from the Shack.The loud music piped inside and out can be a little overwhelming, worth choosing a table wisely.

Great evening meal at the Oystercatcher with friends. The staff were welcoming, yet professional, & the 4 of us all loved our food. 3 of us had "Surf & Turf" which was delicious ( not a huge steak, but all very tasty) .Have been before, & will be back again!

We visited Rhosneigr as we had never been there before. My fiancé suggested we get some lunch and we had a walk around but nothing really excited us. We had heard about the Oyster Catcher as my fiancé’s family had visited before. We arrived and it was very busy outside, we opted to sit inside. This was a very good decision as the atmosphere and decor was right up our street. As it was only our lunch I opted for a burger and chips, and my fiancé had a pasta. They were excellent perfectly cooked. A young lady was our waitress and I’d like to personally thank her for making our experience here so enjoyable. I cannot remember her name and i feel awful because she really needs some recognition for being a credit to not only the oyster catcher but the industry itself. We felt very welcome and we had struggled to feel welcome on some visits to other restaurants whilst in the area. I highly doubt she would remember us but she spoke to my fiancé about pornstar martinis, I hope she does and can take pride in how wonderful she was. We willbe visiting again when back in Anglesey, and we can’t wait.

A fantastic experience at the Oyster Catcher with my husband and two children (14 and 13). Firstly it was so great to not have to book. We turned up at 2.30 and had a gorgeous table inside with wonderful views over the dunes. (We had actually also come with friends earlier in the week and had a table in the sunshine outside but today was too windy).The menu catered for everyone and for a quick drop in downstairs also had good take away street food. We had fish and chips, delicious mussels (great portion size) and fish curries. And the desserts- wow! Good old fashioned knickerbocker glory and banana split with caramel ice cream- yum!Finally, the service was really good. Our lovely waitress Sarah was really friendly and attentive, the food arrived piping hot and quickly. The fact that we’ve visited twice in the same week after coming to Anglesey for years says it all! Thank you Oyster Catcher staff!

Lovely coffee served in the dog friendly bar. Dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant, which is understandable. There is a pizza shack where you can order food to be eaten in the bar, but we didn't fancy pizzas. The main menu isn't available in the bar. Lovely environment with great views. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful restaurant and great location.Food not so good.Surf and turf served with limp salad and what looked like minute steak that was poorly cooked and even worse quality. Salad and dressing looked like it was yesterday’s.Looked like the restaurant had staffing issues with lots of new folks, but these never impacted on the poor quality of the food served. Got a few pictures if needed to compare to some other posted images.

Excellent service!! All the staff were attentive and efficient. Great atmosphere with great food. I love this place and the menu is fabulous. Will definitely be coming back (again!).

We had a lovely walk through the sand dunes to reach the restaurant. The location is fabulous just on the edge of town. The menu had a great selection to suit all tastes and appetites. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent and i particularly enjoyed the Knickerbocker Glory!

Went there for brunch and had a pretty bad experience. First, the 12 oysters I had for starter were ridiculously small (too young), one of which I had to send back for replacement as it was the size of my thumb nail, literally. Then wine I ordered with my £25, reheated, dry micro lobster (see pic) came very, very, very late. Despite having asked for both to be served together, we had to ask the waitress twice before it was brought to us, but by then, my dry lobster was cold. Politely, I asked the person in charge to replace my food and went to the loo. When back to table, a new micro lobster was there waiting for me; undercooked and therefore cold. My guest had the mussels, which we thought smelled and tasted a bit funny, but trusted to be fresh. I was charged for the reheated, dry, inedible lobster and my guest and I had mild food poisoning 48h later… Seems like someone prioritises ££ over the health of their customers. Never again despite the beautiful landscape.

Wonderful setting, wonderful food, wonderful drinks and even better wonderful service with a smile from the wonderful Jules

The building, setting and location wow!Staff where very welcoming, attentive and professional. Ordered was taking quickly Drinks arrived quickly too, really enjoyed their own lager on tap.We were all forward to the food as we looked the menu days before and when it arrived it smelt and look amazing, but it was quite disappointing.My wife and I ordered the surf and turf and the beef was under seasoned, over cooked and the meat just tasted tough, for 23pound per dish you would of expect a better cut of meat and the half lobster well was only two mouthfuls which were rubbery.Everything else was good. Kids enjoyed their cheeseburger and chips.And the mother in law had mussels and crap on toast..Also the sides were tasty too.I would recommend this place but just not the surf and turf...Maybe they could look into another supplier for their beef .. as it is quiet a expensive place to dine and it doesn't live up to the place But overall staff were great, atmosphere really good...food little bit disappointing

Lovely place for a drink, we all ordered pizzas and chips and they were all great! Beers were great as well, service was excellent! Been here a couple of times whilst on holiday!! Highly recommend

Brilliant location and really great service. Every member of the team who served us were warm, friendly and welcoming. Covid safe and perfect pit stop after a few hours on the beach. We hadn’t been organised enough to book for the restaurant but the Shack works well & the outdoor seating is perfect for large & small family groups. Loaded fries are .

From start to finish everything was spot on! We called up to check if there was a table available as it was an impromptu last minute lunch visit and were told we would be able to get a table and arriving 5 minutes later we were seated straight away. We were served by the lovely Olivia who was incredibly attentive and lovely to chat to (and knew all about a pornstar!) Our drinks were so nice and the food came out in good time - everything was amazing, I honestly couldn’t recommend the food enough. It is on the higher end for prices but you definitely get what you pay for. We can’t wait to return in the near future! Thank you so much to the team who made our visit impeccable x

Ate dinner here with the family on Saturday 31st July. Service on the drinks was awful and our starters arrived before we had even been served a drink which is a big no no. We could see our drinks sitting on the bar for ages so really not sure why they could not have made it to us quicker! A little more choice on the menu would have been preferred but food was lovely (I had seabass) Great vibe and an enjoyable evening

It’s been 4 yers since I last visited and in the meantime it has changed hands so I was a little apprehensive about this visit. I needn’t have worried. It was excellent. The food was first class and the service even better. Sophie was the main server and she was brilliant. In truth everyone was. A little expensive so not somewhere to go too regularly (!!) but a wonderful evening.One gripe I have with restaurants at the moment is that condiments are in sachets as if you were in a McD. I can understand why with the current climate but there could I’m sure be a better way.

We ate here on a busy lunchtime service last week and couldn't fault it. The meal was fantastic - the best calamari we have had in a long time. My monk fish tale was superb as were the mussels and my daughter's burger meal that our party chose. We were served by Cerys who was very attentive and the timings of every part of the meal couldn't have been better.We had a lovely view of the lake and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.I agree with previous reviews that it is best to call in or call ahead to book a table as my email was also unanswered. It is also worth booking well in advance especially for evening service in the restaurant.

We had pre-booked the week prior to our visit but when we arrived our name wasn’t on the list and the gentleman said he would ‘see what he could do’! Making us feel an inconvenience even though I’d offered to show him my confirmation e-mail. We were shown to a table on the lovely terrace- unfortunately there was a dirty dogs water dish under it which we asked to be removed before the kids put their foot in it! We ordered x3 diet cokes and a beer- out came x3 regular cokes and a warm beer They were changed with no problem when we asked the staff. We were booked in for 5.45 pm to suit our 5 & 8 year old, by 7pm we were ready for walking out as we were all starving but luckily our meals came in time. My partner and I had surf and turf, both cooked well but the portions were on the small side for the cost of the dish. Our bill came to just under £100 for x1 starter, x2 kids meals and x2 adults meals with drinks. I honestly felt robbed as it wasn’t the best experience.I understand businesses are getting back up and running following covid but just wanted to leave an honest review. We had really been looking forward to coming as the oyster catcher had been recommended to us whilst we were on holiday- disappointing experience in a beautiful location.

Well that was a fantastic food experience the oysters was fantastic cockles was the same and mussels was dam yummy to Sophie was well up on food and allergies very well spoken and good with ower dog rossi beer and wine was good all round its tip top ten for us defo be returning well done to all staff and Sophie keep up the good work guys I see a pay rise on the cards cheers Tracey martyn and rossi the lab

Would recommend arriving early to grab a table to eat from restaurant on terrace if not booked (there is a food shack too and the food sounded/looked lovely but the night we tried to order from there they had ran out - we didn't arrive until 8pm but next evening we got a table no problem on terrace about 5pm and ordered from main menu). Staff were great, service was quick, food and drinks were lovely. As it got bit cold we went inside at the downstairs bar, service for drinks was slower here.

Visited with my children and we're welcomed so warmly and efficiently by Jules. We were seated outside as there were no available seats inside. As it was a windy day I asked jules if she could let us know when a table inside became available. She did this promptly and kindly being patient with us all as my children had to change into dry clothes. Lovely atmosphere, lovely place, absolutely wonderful waitress! Thank you Jules. We will be back again - because of you!

Unfortunately we can't review the meals as we never managed to visit. Tried to book a week early for a birthday treat for my wife, gave them two alternative dates online but never received any reply! Unfortunately by the time I realised that we were not getting a booking we couldn't book anywhere else Emailed on our return to say it would help people if they knew they were full, still no contact from them. Very poor customer service. Shame because it did look amazing

Lovely setting on a beautiful sunny evening. Nice decor. Poor service - disinterested, slow, unenthusiastic. Overpriced - £23.95 for surf and turf and then needed to pay £3.95 extra as no chips included. Sink in men’s toilets blocked, water all over the floor and unemptied bin with paper towels thrown on top. Similar in lady’s toilets according to my wife. Very disappointing all round.

We were a party of 4 adult (including one with a gluten intolerance), 2 children and 2 dogs. The service was first class - thank you Paige for looking after us - and the food was really good. We will have no hesitation in recommending it and coming back again. Overall, a very pleasant evening.

Food was ok-ish. I ordered oysters to start but strangely when they arrived the juice that they come in had been completely drained and they were a strange texture. Whenever I go to a restaurant and I see oysters on offer I always order them but I have never tasted oysters like these, and not in a good way. Odd that this place is named after oysters. I told our waitress who just stated, "Oh I don't know. I've never had oysters myself". My steak and chips arrived. Steak was perfect but chips undercooked. Didn't bother telling waitress after her unhelpful answer to my previous complaint. Ordered an extra chips and picked through the two tins of chips and just ate the cooked ones. Ordered peppercorn sauce too but was only a tiny portion. We were booked in for tomorrow night too but I politely cancelled our reservation on the way out. Wouldn't recommend.

Went for a beer - all fine until you visit the Gents and this is what you see. There followed quite a heated exchange with the Duty Manager as I (strongly) suggested that it was a health hazard and the toilets should be closed.The trouble is that on my previous 3 visits (over a number of weeks) - I had complained about the state of the toilets but they seem to just ignore this and carry on as if it does not matter.... so now, sadly, I am resorting to Trip Advisor in the hope that the owners will finally do something about this.I did re-visit the following day to see if they had taken any notice - the Gents were still very sub-standard but better than the previous afternoon - although, as you can see from the last photo, one of the sinks was still blocked and there was still "fluid" on the floor - in any other situation a complaint would still be justified. Is this really what you expect? Not me!OC - you have a problem with the Gents... close them down until you get them sorted once and for all time.Any business is judged by the state of their toilets - airlines, train services, railway stations... you will be judged by your toilets and if this is the state you are prepared to leave them in then what about the kitchens? What about the staff toilets (which your duty manager would not let me see)?

I went to the bar and ordered 1 apple juice and it took 65minutes to come, because of COVID you need to sit at the bar and wait for your drinks, so for 65 minutes I was sat at the bar inside instead of being with my family in the lovely sunshine. The service was absolutely horrible and I would have done it myself and it would have been a lot quicker, the staff were all slow and miserable. I am so disappointed.

Took my partner to this restaurant today as our first night out on Anglesey. Ordered the Indian taco meal. It came in a box and consisted of fish and mashed potato. No real taste.Felt ripped off by the overpriced food. Atmosphere seemed good but very short staffed and had to wait 45 minutes before or food was ready.

Had drinks at Wills Bar and was looked after by the friendly and efficient Jules, great setting and great hard working staff, thanks fo looking after us and making our visit so enjoyable.

We tried our luck on a Monday lunch and were fortunate enough to get a table. From the outset, the welcome was warm and the staff friendly.The menu was extensive, but two items would never fail to catch my eye: Crispy Calamari to startand Steamed Mussels for a main courseMy partner ordered the same.Being “that kind of a day” we ordered a glass each of a white Zinfandel- ie rosé - which was very approachable and with a surprisingly low alcohol contentThe calamari arrived with an accompanying Marie-rose sauceA quick comment: THIS IS THE BEST CALAMARI WE’VE HAD IN THE UK!!The second act was the Mussels steamed with dry cider, whole grain mustard, cream and soft herbs- served in a large pot with the lid which flips over to take the discarded shells. A welcome sight!Our verdict: THESE WERE THE BEST MUSSELS WE’VE HAD IN THE UK!!We could not have been happier with our visit.

We ate here on Friday on the terrace . Lovely setting . We loved our visit . We visited this place a while ago and the service and food was awful ! Glad we tried again great evening , good food and cocktails and our waiter Tian (?!?) provided great service . Defo be back soon guys thank you .

So I did email the oyster catcher directly regarding our visit, to give them the opportunity to respond to me in person rather than posting a negative review on here. However it has been a month now and no one has bothered to reply to my email. This is what it said: Dear Oyster Catcher Team,I just wanted to drop you a line regarding our visit on Monday with our family. Having been regular customers of yours over the years, unfortunately our experience on this occasion was not a good one. I much prefer to let you know personally, rather than on trip advisor, to give you the benefit of the doubt that it was an unfortunate ‘one-off’. Whilst I appreciate that you were extremely short staffed due to your recent covid track and trace situation, I still feel there was no excuse for the bad experience we had.We arrived at around 5:45pm and wanted to sit outside - there were several free tables but all of them were covered in previous customers’ food and drink. I asked the girl at Pat’s Shack if someone could come and clean it. This was where our first issue arose - she was unfortunately one of the most miserable people I’ve ever come across in hospitality. Every time one of us had to speak to her she was rude and dismissive and it was very obvious she didn’t want to be there. I appreciate perhaps she was extremely busy but there is no excuse for her demeanour which was quite depressing for your customers who had come to enjoy a beer and a pizza in the sunshine. I also heard several other customers comment on her extreme negativity towards them. On the other hand, a very nice gentleman came out to clean a table for us (after I had moved all of the glasses/rubbish from it, which in the current covid circumstances is far from ideal!). He apologised for all of the mess and explained about you being short staffed. The second issue I wanted to raise is related to all of the rubbish strewn across the garden with the bins overflowing. On more than one occasion we witnessed some staff members standing around and chatting to one another. Given the fact that you were short staffed and apparently very busy, it seemed hard to believe that there was not a few minutes available when at least one member of staff could have collected the empty pizza boxes in a bin bag in order to make the outside garden area a more pleasant and hygienic dining experience for your guests. Due to all of the rubbish, the birds were horrendous, diving onto the tables next to us to retrieve leftovers. This simply wouldn’t have happened if a few minutes were spent devoted to this each hour. As I mentioned before, I completely understand that you have lost several members of staff due to isolation. However, I do not believe that is an excuse for the poor experience we had, both in terms of customer service from a member of staff and in terms of the rubbish. Our experience clearly wasn’t in keeping with current covid health and safety expectations and I wanted to raise the issues directly with you so that when we next visit our experience will be a more positive one. Our whole family are regular customers of yours and we will give you the benefit of the doubt that we were unlucky this time. Hopefully when we return your good service will resume.

The setting is perfect, the welcome warm, the young staff enthusiastic and well trained. The wine list is good and the food delicious. My monkfish was divine.

We went to the downstairs cafe part of The Oyster Catcher. They welcomed us and our 20 month old daughter. Great atmosphere and vibe at the cafe. Table service for drinks (a little slow service but didn’t affect the visit). Ordered pizza at the ‘shack’ and given a buzzer to let us know when the order was ready. Delicious, hot pizza and yummy loaded fries. Definitely worth a visit… or two!

Delicious food. Amazing venue. Make sure you book, as its extremely popular. Book via website, as we tried for ages to get through on the phone and the line just rings out after you hear the recorded message. (Oyster catcher, you may want to update your answerphone message to give out the correct email address).We managed to book via the website and got a lovely message back con6forming our booking for 3 days ahead. When we arrived, the manager was friendly, polite and a credit to the restaurant. The waitress serving us was horrendous. It was her last day and she clearly didnt want to be there. She had terrible customer service. The oyster catcher will be better off without her. Our food arrived before the drinks did, she was that slow!Overall, amazing place.
