Penrhyn Castle Café in Gwynedd

Decent range of small lunch items, but a member of staff who was clearly only just being trained was left on her own for a while causing a queue to build up. Obviously not blaming her as we visited towards the start of the season, not sure why one young girl was left on her own in a busy cafe. Food and drinks were lovely and what we expect from a national trust cafe

£3.70 for a little over half a cup of coffee, loads of froth, and a little amount of coffee and I had to wait 12 minutes because there was a queue of all of 1 customer in front of me! Then served myself, forgot my order, and served the next person then asked who wanted the wrong drink, then remade my just about warm, half a coffee, don't think il bother again. Disappointed 😞

There's something about national trust cafes. Overpriced service is always poor and the food is always substandard Paid £3.30 for a bottle of water. There was no filling station for us to refill ours.

You must see Fire Queen in the railway museum. Fabulous.

We ordered 1 scones and butter, 1 Short bread, I hot chocolate with marshmalows and cream and one hot chocolate just basic without the extras. The cafe only had 4 people seated and only us being served. Both hot chocolatrs we made very slowly and served almost cold and it was hard to taste chocolate, more like warm milk with a hint of choclate on top even after the long preperation. The hot chocolates were far worse than the good ones you get in wetherspoons for a third of the price with free refills! Both scones were dry and fell apart when buttered. Overall very disapointing and a waste of money, beware!

Several items of hot food not available at 1100. Very ordinary selection of overpriced sandwiches. Overcrowded, not helped by some staff obviously not well trained, slow service, confusion over how to operate card payment machine etc etc. Generally unrpofessional staff and not well organised. One to avoid, assuming you have paid the rip-off price to get in to the place.

Nice little cafe, only had a coffee, but it was very good.

We came here to do parkrun on our journey home from Caernarfon what a morning it absolutely poured down of rain so the views were of mist. We then finished and enjoyed a cuppa from the cafe and then the rain had stopped and the views appeared we will be back to explore as the route would of been stunning had the weather been sunny 😎

Two cafes on site, the smaller one has a very limited selection cakes, sandwiches and toasties. The cakes were left uncovered, which was unhygenic. The larger cafe has a limited selection of hot food plus sandwiches. We were disappointed to find how limited the selection was, especially as several hot food items were sold out at 1230 leaving a mediocre selection of jacket potatoes, bean chilli or sandwiches. More cakes left uncovered, so again disappointing hygiene. Won't be rushing back, even assuming that I want to pay the exorbitant entrance fee to the castle. The cages are not accessible without paying to go in.

A wonderful stop to relax. Tasty scones, jam and clotted cream, tea and bars brith. Eaten outside in the sun.

Avoid ordering the Welsh rarebit, wish I had taken a photo. Terrible a disgrace. Asked for it to be taken away and exchanged it for baked potato which my husband had ordered.

Beautiful castle and grounds sorting for all the family will be back again we also met the friendly Robin

Six of us decided to have a bite to eat in the tearoom whilst visiting the castle and we were all happy with the food and drink that we bought - the prices weren't too bad, and the food was good quality. It was just a lovely cosy place to rest after walking around the castle for a couple of hours.

Had a brilliant time staff very friendly and food was lovely especially the scone's.

The cafe was very good, a little pricey but you expect to pay more from the National Trust. The two lads that were behind the counter were most helpful and very courteous. Enjoyed the experience.
