Friendly welcoming great food excellent service

I forgot who i was!!!! Liz❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We are disappointed. After asking if they had a menu, the waiter asked what we would like and the kitchen was closed (it was five in the afternoon). We chose an alcoholic drink and after presenting ID and ten minutes he declared that he could not accept it (for reasons unknown to us). We do not recommend.

First time of going after reading some reviews and we were glad that we did. Very friendly staff and great pub atmosphere. Sunday Carvery was just wonderful,I had a little of each meat my partner the beef and ham. Everything just perfect for us.Super tasty cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes just like home and all the meats succulent. Plenty of everything ,great place to be. Thanks to all for a great meal 😋

Lovely staff, fantastic food, great value for money 👍

Liz is the greatest bar manager I have ever seen... Brilliant, great pint of Guinesss

Superb! Can't recommend it enough, Liz is great!

We booked a table for 10 people for our Xmas lunch. The food was amazing, service was great, staff very pleasant, the best we’ve had for a long time. Simply the best. We are all local and all of us were more thsn satisfied.

Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere

was here last week, had carvery and i must say it was the best i had for long time, beef was so tender and the mash was something else, staff was really good, we was lucky have table as it was very busy, staff worked hard fair play

Bar staff are absolutely spot on👌🏻

What an amazing pub! My partner and I came here on Sunday, greeted by a friendly bar staff and waitress serving us drinks and putting our carvery order through. We were then told to sit back at our table and when we were next in line for the carvery we will be told. After about 10 minutes, a waitress came to our table to tell us politely we are next! Considering the amount of people (a full pub) also having a carvery, 10 minutes was very quick! What a jolly man the cook was, a good laugh and so helpful. Good slices of meat. The staff behind the carvery stand were confident to explain what every unusual veg was. And the gravy was just amazing! Very thankful to all staff for a great visit. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for somewhere to go for a carvery! Will be returning very soon!

Home made burger are a must, dog friendly and very friendly staff, clean pub

Had a carvery here, was top class, service class to cheers Leighton for making the day great!

Went in for curry night , had beef curry and it was really well cooked' we stayed for the karaoke after and the staff was really friendly and we had great fun, will be back again 👌 😄 👍

Been going there for the carvery since the summer 10/10 every time, lovely staff too. Recommended to everyone.

The food I had at The Palace Vaults was one of if not the best cavary I have ever had!And it was very clean and the staff was very friendly with me especially the ones at the bar and at the cavary stand! The gravy was perfect and it was the best meat I have ever eaten,as a football fan it is also nice to have a tv wherever you sit because there are about five or six all around the place!Also the atmosphere was nice and i could eat my food and enjoy. I also liked the prices of the food because of the quality of the food it feels like i have just got a bargain. This was my best experience in a while 👏👏

Amazing tasty food and also fast service with friendly staff Highly recommended

Amazing service and lovely, tasty food. Would highly recommend.

Lovely land lady who made the pub feel warm and friendly, didn't try the food, just had drinks and watched football but it looked really nice

Got to be the best Sunday dinner I have had in the caernarfon area for a long time. Staff was amazing from start to finish. Well done keep up the good work

Been in many places for carvery locally at Caernarfon area, The Carvery here is by far the best i have had, four choices of meat and many choices of delicious veg, but the gravy tops it all!! Would definitely recommend to anyone that has not been to go and get their Sunday Carvery from here!!

Had the Curry on the Curryoke night! Very tasty and plenty of choice inc vegetarian. Would recommend this evening to friends and family

Lovely home made curry the korma was delicious, served with naan bread , pappadums and mango chutney, would highly recommend a visit to this friendly pub👍

great food and staff were very friendly and helpful, even the dogs were welcomed will be recommending the Carvery to friends and family

We randomly stumbled upon the Palace Vaults whilst on my birthday road trip. We were a coach full of 50 people in 80s fancy dress and the palace vaults welcomed us and absolutely made our day! Put extra staff on to keep all of our drinks topped up and had a DJ playing all of our favourite 80s tunes. We were all up dancing all night and didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much to everyone there, it was a birthday to remember x

Good choice of drinks, friendly staff, we will be back

Lovely pub right next to the castle - well worth a visit!

this is my favourite pub in Wales

great service , nice food good people. food was cooked perfectly and really enjoyed spending time alone by myself with my dog waiting patiently outside in the cold rain

Great food, great service and a very clean and positive environment. Will be coming back thank you😀

Unreal food at a reasonable price with great atmosphere and lovely staff! Will definitely be visiting more frequently and would recommend to everyone !

Had a lovely lunch in the palace vaults, great selection of meals and drinks for a good price, we went for a meal from the specials board and it was amazing 🤩highly recommend, will be coming back soon!

this is a nice spot to pop in for a lunch or even a drink I enjoyed this meal so much a delicious meal and it was quick aswell about 7 minutes of wait and I was greeted by a lovely waitress a lovely person at the bar aswell served me a pint of Pepsi I would 100% go back and recommend you to visit and a gorgeous view of the castle outside x

We popped in as we were visiting, and the food was nice and quickly served. Quite busy, loads of staff. I didn't like the fact that the toilet cubicle door was only half a door and it had no lock. Not really what you expect.

Dog friendly, pleasant staff cheap and cheerful food. Great value. Only criticism is they close at 5.0pm for food serving. We got there just in time. They missed out on at least 25 covers whilst we were there.

Food was perfect and the service was exceptional. Would highly recommend

I ain't gonna lie, I liked it at Palace Vaults, I just went in with two of my carers and it kinda had its own flaws, the wait was a bit appalling but that's when I think the owner of the bar said they'll give us a free drink. Because of the long wait. They were lovely, although one of the workers was moody and slammed cutlery on the counter which imo there was no need, it was good. Brings me down to the food, I can tell you now if your looking for a curry in one of the evenings or day then the chicken curry they make was spot on. They do Rice or you can swap that with homemade chips. 😋 they do nachos, jacket potatoes, though the menu is kinda small. I would certainly recommend to those who want to have a few pints while waiting for their food.

Exellent carvery , visited on Sunday lunchtime

Had a couple of hours in Caernarfon before doing the trip on the Welsh Highland Railway, was looking for somewhere to have lunch and this looked just the right place. A historic pub in an ideal location just across the road from the castle. There's an outdoor carvery and outside tables with sun umbrellas. The pub was clean and comfortable inside too, with a well stocked bar and a good choice of beers. But I did not find it very welcoming. I was standing at the bar for nearly 10 minutes before the two girls who were serving even acknowledged me. Not many options to choose from on the lunch menu. I ordered the jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn, served with salad and coleslaw. It was served quickly and the food was okay, but the potato was more warm than hot and there was no sweetcorn on it. Not an expensive lunch but it could have been a lot better. Would try somewhere else if I returned to Caernarfon.

I called earlier in the morning for the Walkers breakfast, faultless.

They had beef, pork, & gammon cooking outside to draw in the crowds, it worked! I regret to say that we didn’t have a bap, as we were just too full to eat from breakfast. Although they were queueing up for the meats, & it...

Arrived around 1.30pm yesterday. Walked in, met by a friendly barman who welcomed us and served us with a pale ale and a coffee. Nice bar inside, clean toilets and a juke box! Coffee was fresh and hot, pale ale was good, we went and...

Lovely atmosphere, loads of real ales 🍺

Waw.....best food and the sunday dinner ever, loved how helpull the chef was and my plate was full, my kids couldnt stop saying how lovely it was. The chef made us laugh and comftorble. Loved how the manager ian came over and made sure everything...

Was going to try the outside meat baps that we spotted on the weekend. Until the chef that was carving the meat went for a cigarette wearing gloves, then carved the meat not washing his hands or even changing the gloves.

Great location. However- the town public toilets were cleaner than these. Toilet full of skids. No loo roll. Then the man behind the bar early 40s , dark beard and no hair, was allways on his phone, i stood in the bar for 10 minutes...

Great food, the carvery was amazing. Fast and professional staff. Very clean, would definitely be going back again. 10/10

The member of staff were kind and very helpful.The food was lovely and very tasty.The place was also clean and tidy.I would definitely recommend.

Visited Sunday, had to wait for knifes and forks for food. Carvery wasn’t anything special and you could tell it was late in the day as it the veg and mash were dry and the gravy was on its last dregs. Ladies toilets were foul,...

Over charged for food, explained before paying it wasn’t correct and they had it wrong. Eventually handed over money and got the receipt to show it wasn’t right. The two girls then couldn’t count out change and give it back in 20ps, she couldn’t work...

Locally sourced Dover sole to die for snd the price was unbelievable value for money will definitely be back when visiting again kids meal also fantastic thanks for a great lunch keep up the good work !!

We popped in on the off chance as we didn’t book luckily Ian managed to find us a table. The Food and service was second to none, nothing too much trouble !! Will definitely return

Went out with the family for a Sunday carvery, asked for a vegetarian option to be told they don't do one, but I can have the vegetables from the carvery but no gravy as its meat gravy, at the adults price of £12.95. There was...

Went for carvery, adults carvery the same size as kids, for double the price.. vegetarian option was a plate of vegetables without gravy, because its meat gravy, at the normal adult price. So the place to go if your a vegetarian or vegan......... not

Such lovely staff and the food is very nice. Good value for money, large portions, cheeseand ham panini with chips slaw and salad delicious

Great local bar excellent music 🎶

Dog friendly, warm Welcome, nice atmosphere, had a coffee and a beer, bar man gave Ted (Dog) a bonio. Great location opposite the castle and close to the h the Afon Seiont.

Small, but there's a hidden room at the back, great little pub 🙂

On a chilly late December afternoon , we popped into the PV for a warm , hit drinks and something g to eat . We had the 2 specials , vegetable soup , 3 Welsh sausage meal with onion Gravy & chips and my daughter...

Made very welcome. Food was super great to see home made chips . Price for food is great and staff could not do enough for you.

It was ok we ate there food was ok not a big enough menu.

Great pub for a chat and pint, food tastes better than it looks, honestly the carvery serving station looks like very poor but the food it's self is good l.

Great pub. Friendly staff and plenty of TVs for the football.

Fantastic food Made very welcome Thank you

The layout of the pub was strange but maybe that's because of old buildings, nice staff but not great options and quite a few had run out when we visited.

Very welcoming friendly staff great customer service great atmosphere and will definatly be returning again.

In need of a quick lunch after the castle, we called in here, and the menu was great and service was quick and excellent. It seems to be a popular pub, guess it comes with the location but it did not disappoint.

Great food,had ham, eggs and chips,delicious grub and a very pleasant dog friendly atmosphere

I apologise unreservedly for my negative review, I mistook the pub for another. This is a really nice friendly pub with great staff, very clean especially the ladies. Once again I'm very sorry x

Great service and warm welcome from the landlord and staff as always. Dog friendly , family pub located a stone's throw from the castle.

A nice atmosphere, nice staff and a nice meal at a reasonable price. Would recommend a visit

Beautiful day for sitting outside. Nice friendly staff and dog friendly too.

A nice meal with good drinks and service. A little pricey, as pubs go, but the food was excellent. Can recommend the sea bass with a creamy bean risotto. We would go again.

the best meal l’ve ever had Chips Cooked perfectly The service was absolutely amazing made me feel like part of the family and all my God the burger was to die for cooked to perfection extremely high quality meat and also the best finish if...

My sons took me for a cavery on mother's day, had a lovely roast beef dinner, awesome food and warm welcome, I'd highly recommend it..

Good atmosphere watching the rugby

A budget food option with friendly service. Limited choices available lead us to having a burger and theee paninis, edible but hardly great food. Good prices on both our drinks and food, and great views from the window of the castle.
