Penrhyn Bar & Grill in Gwynedd

Cozy welcoming pub, Great atmosphere. Great menu and tastes amazing, chicken wings, pork belly, chicken burger and gammon steaks were all very tasty, great quality of food and great portion size. Log fire is a lovely touch, owner, staff was very welcoming friendly. Would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you.

Popped in a few times for a drink, & food. A decent enough menu, but I wasn’t really hungry. MrDW enjoyed the curry. Saw a few faces from the past (or so I thought) more likely to be children & grandchildren from people I once knew. Nice trip down memory lane anyway. Super business, must make a killing, right by the beach too.

If you went on first impressions then you wouldn't expect much, however the food is simply outstanding!! We went on two occasions, I had the chicken ramen the first time and crispy chilli beef on the second visit and both were fantastic. The portions are very generous and service is quick. Well done the Chef and staff 👏👏👏

Lovely food tonight - 3 different meals and all delicious. Chicken curry, fillet steak and chicken raman. Staff are very friendly. Great little pub

We usually grab lunch or dinner here every year while we're stopping nearby and this place has never disappointed. There is plenty of sheltered seating outside for those with dogs, and the food is always very good and reasonably priced, with large portions. I'm sure we'll be back again next year!

Called in for a drink and to get out of the rain a place we have passed by many times in the past. Found ourselves sitting in front of a roaring fire (June !) . Tempted by the menu, food was excellent and large portions. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, even one gent who was on his night off. Will certainly go again when we are back on the future

We have visited a couple of times before with family and always been great! We went on Saturday evening as a family of 8. Food was absolutely lovely. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

Went as it was the closest place to where I was staying and expected just pub grub. Once in, you see the massive specials board and menu and literally have so many options! I have never had ramen in a pub before, and it was gorgeous! Staff are very nice and helpful and the whole place has a good atmosphere. If I go back to the area, I will have to return.

Absolutely fantastic food , I had lamb steaks and they were amazing. Service was excellent and prices good will definitely be returning.

Delicious meal with the family last night, lamb steaks were cooked to perfection, and the garlic butter chips were heaven. Lovely friendly atmosphere and dogs welcome. Will definitely be re visiting

I have been using this pub for 9 years when visiting family who live in the village. We went for lunchtime drinks and my son was feeling hungry and asked for a bowl of chips, which I ordered. When they arrived the we felt the portion looked less than generous!!? but accepted it as maybe portion control had changed? A short while later another customer had a bowl of chips which were piled in the same size bowl ours had arrived in. When I questioned the bar staff about the anomaly she was adamant that there would have been no difference and there was nothing that could be done!!! I felt the attitude was rather dismissive and as a result we were put off the idea of ordering meals, as was the plan, and left after finishing our current drinks. I will think twice before ordering food there in the future when visiting Fairbourne.

Came for a family meal and all enjoyed what we had. Curry was lovely and came with every side you could think of, Pies, burgers and lasagne all tasty. Kids were happy with their meals and ice creams Well presented food and nice atmosphere

We visited for our tea and had great time. Very good selection of beers, massive food menu including lots on the specials board. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to return!

Lovely place great spot near the beach , food is hit and miss here , depends on who is cooking ... we have been a few times naw and the steaks are lovely . The meal we had a few weeks ago wasn't great ... and it cost around £70 . The minted lamb with Yorkshire pudding was terrible 3 bits of lamb in a Yorkshire pudding with a blob of mash and what looked like steamed veg from a bag that you put in the microwave.... no gravy with it . Didn't say anything because it is a nice place just disappointed with that meal ,and not worth the money . Very pricey for what you got !! Lovely cider here 😋

Ended our family holiday here tonight for a meal out. Called earlier on the day to book, was told we didn't need to. Now we know why. Not busy at all. No good evening, hello welcome nothing. Tables sticky, not very clean. Walking past kitchen to go toilet, staff sitting on work surfaces etc, well I think they were staff. As everyone seemed to be wearing own clothes, no uniform. Food was good, but could be so much more. 5 young teenager looking staff behind bar, and at least 4/5 of the same in the kitchen. Why so many staff I'm not sure but the place could be amazing.

We visited today for lunch after a nice walk with our dog. The staff weren’t particularly welcoming, no smiley hello, one was just stood behind the bar looking at us whilst the other was on her phone. We ordered a couple of drinks and were impressed with the bar prices. We then ordered a cheese & bacon burger, a steak & ale pie and a side order of cheesy garlic bread. The food came out really quickly and was honestly faultless, really well cooked food. There was a nice atmosphere and the prices are great. I would recommend.

Great meal of Rump steak and all the trimmings, i had mine with chips and my wife had hers with a baked potato she said it was the best potato she had eaten in quite a while. All was cooked to perfection and was nice and hot. The chap behind the bar was very friendly although the waitress had a face like a bull dog chewing a wasp,she looked like she did not really want to be there in fact she did not utter a single word just plopped the plates on the table and scooted away, must of been having a bad day. All in all excellent.

Lovely pub grub, delicious and hot, nice big portions. Just what we needed on a rainy night in Fairbourne (not the best summer this year Is it!) The beer was good, service quick and cheerful. We’re going again tomorrow!! Thanks Fairbourne grill.

Poor food for the price. Steak ordered medium seemed like it was braised and then finished on the grill. Was well done and chewy. No seasoning. Minted lamb burger tasted of nothing but mint. Would have expected this if prices were lower but it want cheap. Probably a nice place for a pint and a side of chips but not for a meal.

Spent time here relaxing in the evenings enjoying a drink and also had meals too. The food tasted great and good portion sizes too.the staff were friendly and made us feel really welcomed. The prices were reasonable too. Wish we had a place like this at home , but will be back soon.

A gem of a pub. Really pleasant atmosphere with good mix of locals and tourists. Drinks are very reasonably priced. Food was hearty pub grub. Went there several times during my stay.

Popped in for a couple rounds on family holiday. We were on hunt for some sausages for a fussy eater in family for back at holiday home from the shops. Was really welcoming and sold me two frozen sausages! No questions asked LOL. Very warm and welcoming feeling and nice atmosphere. Great place for a drink. Food looked good. All customers looked happy. Staff ultra friendly

Really friendly place. Great choice of local guns and Purple Mousse on draft. There is an extensive menu. My sweet chilli beef was lovely. The belly pork was equally good. Can’t recommend this place enough. Family friendly too.

The food here is amazing and plenty of it. There's a really good selection on the menu. The staff are friendly and polite and cleaning the tables and outside area all the time. 5* without doubt

Drove into Fairbourne to see if we could grab some lunch, so glad we did as we came across this gem, the bar staff were friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic, My husband had the sticky chilli beef and I had the boneless pork belly, the portions were very generous and they were cooked beautifully, the menu had a good selection of choices and there were also a good selection on the specials board, we will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a very good time, a good menu and great food with very friendly staff and family friendly. I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely amazing place. Have been several times. Lovely food and lovely staff. Never had any problems at all. Would highly recommend to families, kids and even dogs allowed! Brilliant place. Toilets are lovely and clean also. x

Absolutely terrifying member of staff, my children had a real scare. On arrival, my husband went to the bar to order drinks and food. Because my children were starving, I gave them a sandwich. A male member of staff came rushing and started shouting at us that this is an eating place and we were not allowed to eat there. I explained calmly that I totally understand the rules and that my husband was ordering food right that moment, but my children are too young to understand that. He didn't care and continued shouting to "go eat on the fance, mate, I don't care!". My children started shaking and crying, giving the sandwich back and that broke my heart. That's why, when my husband came back with the drinks, we just place them on the table and left, for the wellbeing of my children. It's worth mentioning that the food waiting time was over an hour. However, we were more than happy to order food and wait for it as much time as it was required, but that didn't matter for that member of staff. I know my comment won't change much, but I felt the need to share. It's common sense not to bring food to an eating place, I know, but that's not the way you talk to someone, so aggressive and rude, especially not around children.

Great location and lovely food. We are here last night (22nd May). Good pub grub menu and specials board. My husband had the rib eye steak with all the trimmings, which he says was one of the nicest he’d had in ages. I had lasagna...

My wife had rib eye steak which was more fatty than expected. The meat didn't taste too good but maybe that was our fault for ordering it. In the end, we had a £20 meal replaced by jacket potato. When we asked for a refund of difference this was refused. I was disappointed with attitude of the staff (local butcher was called to defend the steak). I was not expecting a full refund of difference but maybe a free coffee or desert would have acted as some form of acknowledgement of our dissatisfaction. My southern fried chicken was lovely.

Ordered the belly pork,very disappointed lacked flavour wasn't what I was expecting When placemats arrived they were sticky and had not been cleaned as there was salt all over them.Hubby had minted lamb chop,again a bit boring with 2 drinks I thought £40 was a...

What a fantastic place to eat. Staff and food 5* second to none. Great choice on the menu that caters for everyone. Beautiful location

Went for lunch over Easter. Very dog friendly. Good food & nice pint. Wide range of food on the menu. Can get busy

Lovely food and great value, good parking nearby. Not too busy but can be in high season and bank holidays

From the outside difficult to tell what it wad going to be like; though the outside seating looks good. Inside nice ambience and comfortable seating. Friendly and helpful staff. I had a chicken curry which was very nice and reasonable value.

Nice friendly place. Food was a good standard and a reasonable price. Adapted a dish to my dietary requirements. Would go again.

Very friendly staff who will always do anything to help, foods amazing, always welcoming and dog friendly I would highly recommend

We stayed in Fairbourne as a family of 5. We ate here 4 times, and popped in most days after a busy day on the beach. Lovely outside area, clean toilets, reasonably priced and every meal we had was served promptly and was delicious. All...

What a fabulous place, great food, great atmosphere, great staff, couldn't wish for more and wouldn't expect anything like this in a tiny Welsh town. It's conveniently situated for the beach with an outdoor seating area and plenty of parking nearby They really work hard...

Spent a lovely day in fairbourne with my grandson playing on the steam trains & beach, come 4 o'clock we decided it's time to eat, right on the sea front is the arcade with a bar/restaurant, very friendly staff behind the bar took my order,...

Attended today with two children as shelter from rain! Reasonable prices and a cute little amusement arcade for children! Food good price and enjoyable but what makes it the 5* is the staff and the Ice cream bar!

Walked the coast path from Barmouth and called in at the Penrhyn for lunch. Friendly staff and decent food. Very quiet (it was a weekday) but the views are glorious.

After a long car journey, we were looking for somewhere to eat, I’m honestly so impressed. The staff were lovely, dog friendly and the food was gorgeous. Very friendly atmosphere, great service and just thinking about how yummy the food was is making me hungry...

We visited Fairbourne on a very wet and windy weekend, the first evening we walked in, unsure about whether we could bring the dog in and a local welcomed us warmly saying dogs welcome anywhere. The team are amazing, very welcoming and the beer (Purple...

The bar serves great beer and food, but seems to have variable levels of customer service. They have obviously had problems with non-customers trying to use the toilet, and have posted signs to declare that their toilets are not a public convenience. However, having used...

This is the only place I will order a ribeye steak! The meat is amazing and the chefs know how to cook it! Had a family meal, I had ribeye my partner had Chinese pork steaks and my daughter had fish fingers. Couldn't fault the...

The food was perfect pub grub and we ate our evening meal there six of the seven days we were in Fairborn. Very reasonably priced and oh so friendly.

Friendly staff, good value for money, had sunday dinner. Was nice but could have just been served a little hotter, but good was tasty and plenty of it, served promptly.

Went on a Wednesday day, staff really nice and decent sized menu. Had the steaks as was steak night so a free drink included. Steaks beautifully cooked and came with a lot of trimmings, very good value for the money. The only reason not given...

Excellent value for money , we found the menu enough went back several nights and could always find a delicious and well presented meal. The staff were friendly and extremely polite. Well situated and found plenty of seating inside or out to sit and relax...

Good drinks and a respectable bar menu with polite, swift service. Great location next to a lovely beach.

The food was average but was fine for the price. The service was good and the atmosphere was welcoming. It's really the only dining/drinking place in Fairbourne, situated right opposite the beach. It has a pool table and music playing, it's quite big with plenty...

Not much choice in Fairbourne. But thank goodness for the Penryhn bar and grill. The Lamb Henry was delicious. So good in fact we had to come back another night so one of our party who has t had it could try it! Friendly staff....

Brilliant restaurant helpful staff and dog friendly the food was delicious and would love to go back their again beautiful walks and the beach is great

Staff are surely and unhelpful. Loud irritating music. If you are desperate for a roadside boozer I guess this is your only option, but not somewhere to enjoy a pleasant meal or a nice drink out.

I had tea here with my family. I was very impressed with everything this place had to offer. Customer service was 2nd to none. It was lovely and clean, plates and glasses cleared quickly. The food was amazing, home cooked but better, very generous portions,...

Many beers, wines and spirits to choose from. Kind pleasant staff, always give you a warm welcome. Best bar and grill for miles. Food is out of this world, always give you plenty. Cannot wait to go back.

Rude. Didn't stay long enough to order anything. Not at all impressed with bartender's impolite manner of maintaining covid protocol. He asked to see an exemption, which he was shown (I don't believe barstaff have a legal right to demand this, but I did show...

Lovely to be back, sat in the sun, lovely lunch and a pint. A referb has happened during lock down, good choice of menu. We were watched over by a seagull, who cleared any scraps, comical to watch, shame I was driving, could have sat...

I wasn't expecting this place to be as lovely as it was. From the outside it looks a little ... tired, as many seaside places do. Inside it was beautiful. Tastefully decorated, great atmosphere, lovely music and the food and service was superb, served by...

Phoned to book but they are not taking booking so you have to go and see if you can get in , but we chanced it as we were all starving, we were very lucky to get in as they were busy ,and it was...

Family of 6 all had lovely meals on two separate evenings. Homemade pies and curry were great. All reasonably priced. Staff all very friendly.

We had a lovely evening here whilst on holiday. Nice, friendly staff and customers, all very COVID safe but relaxed feeling too. We had a few beers and a selection of side orders which were all really lovely.Nicely cooked and better quality than you often...

Had a lovely meal. Loads of it. Good beer and wine selection. You might be put off by its location as it is part of the amusement arcade but don't be. The staff were very nice and friendly. We shall be going again before we...

We had an evening meal here whilst staying in the area. Service and food quality was excellent. We use this bar and restaurant a lot in the summer when camping nearby. The staff and quality of service, food and beer is always of a high...

We have just completed our annual sojourn to Fairbourne, staying for 2 weeks locally. We ate at the Penryhn 4 times over that period and each time, the food was excellent quality and great value for money. Our party of 4 plus 5 dogs ate...

Excellent! We had late lunch here after a lovely walk on the beach with the dogs. Walm welcome for us & our two dogs. Extensive covid-19 procedures in place & we were reassured when a family arrived that needed some guidance on mask wearing, which...

We ate here on three occasions and were never disappointed. On one visit there were 6 of us and the food arrived promptly and together.We tried a couple of lots of the ribs as they appeared on the specials board and they were great. Even...

Nice little pub close to the beach. Good social distancing measures in place. Mixture of pub grub - good portions, tasty ice-cream. Dog friendly - with a water station just for your 4-legged friends.

We have used the Bar and Grill everytime we go to Fairbourne and it never lets us down. The staff are always friendly and the meals are fab. Will be back. Ben and Sonia

Very safe environment and started with a few Peronis and then had a superb fillet steak - the best I've had for years. Will defo return this week for another.

We visited a few days ago, good honest litt pub dog friendly with decent pub food specialising in burgers. Friendly staff generous portions did the job everyone happy. Good value.

We stopped in here for a snack and had a good cheesy chips each. One way system in place and plenty of hand sanitiser. Dog friendly. Sit outside and watch the Fairbourne trains go by.

Called in today after walking our dog,Just for a pint to start with but then decided to have a couple of baguettes. What a great decision,one steak baguette and a coronation chicken. Really nice and good value.The covid precautions were well thought out with one way system hand sanitizer etc.Well done penrhyn bar and grill!!We will be back. We have a log cabin near traws and will be telling our friends and neighbours

Although we didn’t eat here, only stopped off for a drink. I just wanted to say what a well thought our system they had in place for covid. Food that cane out looked good too.

Went there with a small group and some of us had steaks - I chose the 14 to 16 oz rump steak - cooked medium. When it arrived, I was amazed that such a "massive" steak only covered about 25% of the area of the average sized plate - I even commented to the waitress and she confirmed that it was the rump steak. Even allowing for some weight loss due to cooking there is no way that this was ever anywhere near 14 oz, let alone 16oz ! A couple of others in the group also commented that they thought their steaks were not of exactly generous proportions. Over-priced for what you actually get - reasonably cooked but I will avoid this place in future.

Any two steaks and a pudding off the menu on valentine's night for £25, The food was absolutely fabulous,everyone who attended and i would like to say all were locals, were in really good spirits, it was lovely to see such a busy night for a cold evening in February, thank you to all the staff wwho made this such a special evening. Well done.

We have a caravan nearby so when we’re staying we are regular visitors to this bar. Staff are always friendly and the food has always been nice and tasty. Also like the cocktails! Had a nice pint infront of the log burner to warm up after walking the dogs on the beach. Always a good visit!

We eat and drink here regularly and service is always very good and food always very good my favourite is the rump steak full of flavour and a big meal .always 3 ales on :)

I had the most amazing sirloin steak. Beautifully chunky and medium rare. My stomach is still having an orgasm as we speak. 10/10.

Five hungry travellers found a place to eat so near the sea you can hear it smell it and with a bit of effort you can jump into it its that close but they serve cod that has never been anywhere near the sea... frozen then reheated in claggy horrid batter. I know the price of fish is not cheap but they even charge prices which coul lead to think its good quality ..avoid if you can, or order something other than the fish.

I tend to normally have a ribeye or sirloin but on recommendation I tried one of their fillets a couple weeks ago. I was so impressed I went back last night & ordered two! Meal sizes are always good here as are their ales & even if I am a local, I’m objective in saying the staff (from the kitchen, to waiting on, bar & management) are always friendly & helpful. This place is a very busy eatery with holidaymakers in the summer & both a locals & sports bar the rest of the year...well done team Penrhyn!

Visited with family back in July and had food which was great, a bit over priced, staff on the bar were polite but when go to use sauce that was the packet ones on the table they were out of date so left them alone, raised issue with stay and got told it a display date but on food products it's a best before date, since leaving review on Google the owner has said not to go again and also made threats and other remarks, will be raisins other safety issues with other authorities.

Some tables and sheltered picnic tables outside plus bar and dining area inside. Tea came in a pot and a reasonable coffee menu too. Well behaved dogs welcome inside.

Decided to try this bar/grill while we were staying in Fairbourne. We had noticed it seemed quite busy (usually a good sign) so went for an early evening family meal. Very pleased we did. Good service, good menu, good food and all at reasonable prices. If we were local I think we would probably be regular visitors.

Visiting this little beach bar & grill is fast becoming one of our favourite things to do when the holiday in Barmouth. The steak and onion baguettes are WELL WORTH the 4 mile walk over Barmouth bridge into the sleepy little seaside village of Fairbourne. Staff are really friendly, the bar has a lovely relaxed feel to it and the outdoor area is large and family friendly. Perfect place to chill in the sunshine with an ice cold beer and watch the world / Fairbourne railway go by. Easy 5 stars this place

After reading previous reviews we decided to give this bar a whirl for a snack and a drink.excellent coffee and sandwiches and jackets were delicious.shame we arrived too early for the dinner menu it sounded lovely. We came with pooch in tow and he was made to feel very welcome.give this place a go if your in the area it’s a hidden gem!

The Penrhyn has a good menu and even if it is busy you get served quickly.All meals can be had as a take away and the prices are very reasonable.

Dropped in today and sampled the lunch menu: baguettes and sandwiches. The food was tasty and portion size reasonable. I'd like the woman at the bar to think about what 'excellent service' might look like rather than barely adequate, and what 'hospitality' means - or could do with a little effort.

We often visit the Bar and Grill for drinks and food and can never fault. The Staff and owner are always polite and friendly. The drinks and food are not over priced. The food great Five out of Five We will be back

We found this pub by chance after walking from Barmouth, the staff were friendly and welcomed our dogs. It was a vernier menu but we opted for a coronation chicken sandwich and coronation chicken jacket potato. The food was fresh, well presented and delicious

Can't fault it. In the barron wasteland which is Fairbourne, a seaside town which time forgot stands Penrhyn Bar and Grill.

Called in on arrival in Fairbourne as we were starving. We both ordered fish & chips with the expectancy being a coastal pub a great experience. Fish was coley tasteless, chips over cooked very disappointing. Could not be bothered complaining on this occasion just will do it with my feet. Good pint of Doombar was a relief.

We came here cos we needed to escape the rotten weather. We couldn’t believe this little remote place sold peroni on draught. We love the stuff and enjoy reviewing it on our peroni tasters of Manchester Facebook page ! The price and quality of the peroni here is excellent

Very welcoming and cosy on a miserable Sunday, weather wise. Choice was a selection of Sunday roasts for main course, only a choice of 2 soup choices for starters and as my husband and another member of our group did not like soup they had to do without a starter. The main course of a choice of roasts was excellent and very tasty. The puddings got mixed reviews from our table. The staff were friendly and overall we did enjoy ourselves and would come back again.

I took my family for dinner and to get out of the cold. I wasn't expecting much from a place out of season in a small seaside town/village. We were very surprised that on the inside was not only a warm temperature, but a warm welcome too.
