Pier House Cafe and Bistro in Isle of Anglesey

Stopped for a breakfast bap and a cuppa during a stroll around the town. Absolutely fantastic ! Sat outside with lovely views across to Snowdonia. Totally recommended

Just perfect everything great. Best place in Beaumaris for food and a drink very busy but worth the wait.

On holiday i like to eat something different, so Welsh Rarebit on a brioche bun with a burger and skinny fries looked promising. This pretentious description lured me into ordering a basic cheeseburger and chips and it was pretty bland. I wish I had been more careful.

Visited same day for lunch then dinner . Lovely food and AMAZING service from Sophie and Chloe . These two young ladies ran both services seamlessly with professionalism beyond their years. Lunch time was manic… every table inside and out was full and in addition to running a full table service with a smile , all orders were out on time and water bowls for dogs were offered as a courtesy . Such an asset to the business and , despite them not having a second to themselves , they remained friendly happy and engaging with all customers , offering advice on menu choices and portion sizes even though they were so busy. We visited for lunch at 1:30 then went back for dinner at 6:30 . Leaving at 9:30pm, they were still on their feet and still as lovely to customers . Well done you two , I hope your feel and are,appreciated by your employer as much as the customers loved you !

Another fantastic meal and drinks from our favourite cafe/bistro in Beaumaris

Lovely food, great service, and a lovely view towards Beaumaris pierhead. Locally sourced food!

Even though they were rushed off their feet they still smiling and positive great food and great views. There was a table near us very impatient they ordered just before us and there drinks arrived no longer than 5 minutes later. We chatted with the staff and they were all very accommodating. It was that good were going for breakfast tommorow thankyou

Food was lovely. Staff were lovely.. would definitely recommend 🙂

Perfect evening meal 14th september with my wife and asked about Veggie options. The waitress with short blonde hair helped us to see what was available and got the manager to assist us with this request. Together they both helped in ensuring my wife picked something. We went for a halloumi dish and a burger. Both which were lovely. We were offered Desserts which we declined and had a lovely evening watching the sun from the window Thankyou all for a lovely evening we loved it

Thankyou Chloe for a lovely evening nothing is too much trouble and everything is spot on. Pier House your food and service has blown us away this week. Thankyou it was great

This cafe is a lovely place to sit and take in the scenery. It’s opposite the little pier, with views towards the mountains, but we found the comments of the waitress very off putting. She actually made a very offensive joke about having spit in our food. She quickly tried to backtrack and make light of the joke, but failed miserably. We said or did nothing to offend the staff, were very polite throughout our visit, and found the whole thing very bizarre.

I went today for lunch always enjoying the place in the past. But got there to see signs saying card payment only. And ask staff if I could pay cash, they said No... So I will be saying No No No I will not be going again. Cash is king any place that won't accept it won't get my costume.

Dirty pint glasses, flat beer, slow service and wasp infested seating out front. Not a very enjoyable place to be at all.

One of the best fish finger sandwiches we have both had. Would definitely recommend this. Lovely friendly environment.

Great cafe overlooking the Menai Straits and mountains. Good atmosphere, lovely food, friendly staff and welcoming to dogs. Very relaxing and we could have stayed all day!

My husband and I stopped for lunch, however we so wish we hadn't bothered! Appalling service. Having waited for over an hour for a couple of sandwiches, I approached a waitress and asked her when it was likely we might see our order. She brushed me off by saying they had a large order, but she would see where our order was. She did not come back with any explanation. We saw her again when I chased her to pay for our drinks and to Inform her we were leaving. We had then waited 80 minutes. No apology from her, just an instruction to pay by card not cash. Other customers who were seated outside were also complaining of the wait and the unwelcome wasps. Overpriced menu for dreadful service. Avoid at all cost!

we had breakfast here before visiting the castle. The service was very nice and the restaurant was well attended. So it took a while for the food to arrive. The food was very rich and tasty. If we are in the area again we will come back!! Dogs are welcome

Really lovely simple ambience for a night time meal. We mostly had seafood which was absolutely delicious. We shared the seafood platter as a starter between 4 and it was really delicious. For main we had mussels and someone had lamb kofta. All of the food was lovely and the service was courteous, smiley and kind. I would recommend this place for decent food, well presented, fairly priced and where you are made to feel very welcome.

Very busy. Was lucky to get a space for 6. Food was average for the price. Me and my partner had a burger and it wasn't worth the price. Staff were lovely, and dog friendly

Great service. Came with some friends, very accommodating and great food! Will be back

Love this place. Sitting outside, watching the pier, the menai straights and the mountains is just delightful. A good selection of food and drinks. Breakfast is particularly good.

Great atmosphere, fantastic staff and absolutely incredible food. You need to go here if you're stopping in Anglesey!

We just went for G&Ts on a hot and busy August Sunday afternoon. Service was friendly and efficient and the price (considering we had doubles!) was not that bad. We used to go quite a lot a few years ago but reviews over last year or so have deterred me from dining. The food being served whilst we were there looked nice and people seemed happy so we will venture back again.

The food was divine and the gentleman who served us was very attentive. Gorgeous fish and chips 😊. Thank you.

Slow service, you have to be patient to eat. The waiters don't notice you when you wave at them. The view of the seafront is pleasant.

Staff were lovely, food was delicious and the cafe was packed when we arrived but we did not have to wait to be served or for our food.

My steak focaccia was gorgeous and the chicken burger was very good. However, the chicken chorizo focaccia was most disappointing. Barely any chicken at all. The small side dish of fries cost over £5. This dinner was the most expensive of our entire holiday.

Can not fault this place. Breakfast was amazing great quality, service was excellent friendly and efficient. So good!

lovely cafe, with great views, dog and family friendly

Buddha bowl for me and Welsh rarebit for him. Both really tasty, served with a smile and accompanied by views of the Straits. Perfect.

Honestly, the best burger I've ever eaten. Excellent service, fantastic food. Very impressed!

We met with friends here after breakfast in town. Lovely to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the views. I had a cuppa but I just couldn't resist a Millionaire shortbread to 'sweeten off'. The waiter told me it was a good choice. He really wasn't lying either. I'm presuming it was homemade but whatever, it was perfect, wherever it was from.

Took us about 6 times to order 2 half a lagers. Comical. 2 sandwich No fries. Both came with fries. £37. Fairly bad. Should have gone to the spar much better food and understanding.

We visited twice during our week stay in Beaumaris at the end of July 2024. As a family with two young children and a small dog, we are always looking for somewhere to visit...and especially places to eat where we can also take our dog. Luckily we found Pier House Bistro, opposite Beaumaris Pier. The food was tasty and the dog was very welcome so we went there twice out of the three times that we ate out during the week. We were staying in Beaumaris in a cottage so could have just cooked something there but we're happy to spend our.holiday money here. The owner/manager (?) was really friendly - definitely recommended.

The Pier House is a wonderful bistro/restaurant. The food is outstanding and diverse. It includes locally sourced ingredients which are all high quality. There is a drinks menu and barista trained staff. The service has been above and beyond what I expected. I have been a few times now and can’t recommend it more. The staff go out of their way to make the experience enjoyable. The views are stunning in all weathers! They are dog friendly

Food - delicious, the seafood was fresh and delicious, highly recommend the seafood linguine. Portion sizes are generous. Drinks - great selection, served ice cold as they should be Service - Staff were friendly and attentive Atmosphere - laid back, cosy, bonus points for being dog friendly Location - right on the front at Beaumaris, we had a great view across the Menai overlooking Snowdonia. Price - Reasonable prices for good quality food and the location. We will be back.

Fabulous breakfast served in record time by friendly staff in a busy café. Recommended.

Great little spot while in Beaumaris.

My son was served a very dodgy burger. Unfortunately he’s eaten half of it before commenting on the flavor. I tasted it and it was clearly ‘off’. Let’s assume it was a one off but I wouldn’t be sure. Clearly not fresh produce and probably defrosted. This kind of puts you off the rest of the food, which is very overpriced. Almost 20 pounds for a ‘main’ portion of mussels which we needed to order frites for separately. Just tight. Anyway, the burger put us off all the rest of the food anyway. Definitely think twice before heading in.

Only had coffee/milkshakes. Good 👍👍👍

Just walked into the pier house cafe, dirty table and no acknowledgement by staff, walked out and spent our money elsewhere. Disappointed.

Fantastic food, great and friendly service, would recommend to anyone especially breakfast time, the yachtsman breakfast was delicious and great coffee too.

A little on the expensive side, but still worth a visit. Be very careful if choosing to eat/drink outside, because the Seagulls are very efficient dive-bombers!!! 2 patrons were attacked whilst we were safely viewing from inside!!

Great food and location, but sometimes some thing as simple as a ramp to get into the restaurant is all it takes to make a great experience. Thank you for being wheelchair accessible, Pier House!

When you state on your website that you accomodate Gluten free, you should actually do so. Offering the same meal with all the gluten containing parts removed, is not a Gluten free alternative. Also prices on the website are outdated by about £3-£5 per meal. Wanted a breakfast, was offered it without sausage, without Black pudding, and without Hash browns. Absolute rubbish. The vast majority of hash browns are gluten free, and most good quality sausages are gluten free so no excuses really. GF black pudding is also available however I usderstand not having that as hardly anywhere gets it in. It's like offering a Gluten free pancake, but it's just a plate with some nutella spread on it, these are not GF alternatives! Chippy on the high street had excellent Gluten free options and a dedicated GF fryer

Glorious views watching the sun go down over the Menai Straits while sitting in the table over the window. Fabulous fish & chips with g&t batter and the friendliest service in the world.

Very overpriced. I had a cheese sandwich which cost £11.50! I couldn’t finish it as the butter (not mentioned on the menu) was so overpowering. Tasted like school dinners but a lot more expensive. Didn’t even come with the promised coleslaw. I had to ask for it 3 times (then got 2 helpings). Beautiful view though.

Perfect service today my waitress with blonde hair was very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. I had the haddock and chips and a Cappuccino everything faultless. I even managed to keep the seagulls away

Adult meal of crab sandwich was lovely but children’s meal soo overpriced and really bad quality. £9.50 for children fish coughons and chips, which was sooo small and chips awful . Terrible price for child meal . That didnt even include a drink.

Right on the harbour front with amazing views of the Welsh coast and Mount snowdonia, staff very friendly and chatty, even remembering our drinks order the next day, definitely go back

I really do not understand the positive reviews for this cafe because my visit was an expensive and disappointing one. I ordered a Bacon, Lettuce and tomato sandwich which was expensive at £9.50. When it turned up it only contained one fatty rasher of bacon which had been cut in two to pad out the sandwich, and 2 very thin slices of tomato. The rest was grated lettuce. Very poor. The service really isn't good. The lady at the table next to us had ordered before us and she was still asking about her order when we were leaving. I assume this place gets its business from its great location as there is nothing else going for it unless it makes some changes

A great spot for watching the bay over Beaumaris - right by the Ferris Wheel and has great views even on a rainy day. Service was quickly and friendly. I had a nice big portion of chips and kids had fish and chips and a huge slice of cake. Great experience.

Slow service. Small coffee for price. Waffles cold

Smashing place had a quick lunch which was great

This was a stand out place in Beaumaris. Lovely interior, and dog friendly, too. The food was fantastic. We ordered a burger and loaded fries -- the sauces were clearly homemade, and rich and tasty. The coleslaw was also homemade, with subtle flavour rather than overpowering onion. The burger had the most delicious smoked bacon and I can't stop thinking about it - will definitely be back. Highly recommended if you want food cooked from scratch rather than something thrown together.

Lovely cafe, great menu and very dog friendly. The cafe was fairly busy when we arrived around lunchtime on a Friday, but staff greeted us, directed us to a table inside and were nice with our dog, bringing him water etc. The menu was good and we both selected from the hot sandwich menu, I particularly enjoyed the rarebit on rosemary focaccia. There's a nice outdoor seating area too, but it was a bit chilly to sit out on the day we visited.

Had brunch here. Staff are very friendly, dogs are allowed inside. Food was tasty and hot. Coffee was good. Great views over the pier and straight.

Dog friendly café. Staff were friendly and polite. Food was tasty, plenty on the plate and the coffee was good.

Called Sunday morning for light snack just after 12. Good food and service . Had posh fish finger butty and a latte . Price was inline with what you expect for a tourist location.

Fantastic service, food was amazing buddha bowl with salmon was really tasty. Cannot wait to show the family this place in the summer

Lovely service very helpful the cafe area was very clean Diolch

Informal cafe and bistro overlooking the pier and the Menai straights. Stacks of outside seating too for sunny days. We enjoyed a delicious bowl of, in-house-made, dairy-free mushroom soup. Helpful, friendly service.

Out of season when we visited. So a bit quiet. However. good food and drink with friendly service. Would happily go back soon.

My wife had the smoked salmon and I had the prawns with one coffee and one pot of tea. We were both violently sick after eating there

Expensive a disappointing food. Staff seemed not to care whether we enjoyed the food which was very over seasoned and expensive. Certainly won’t b going back.

Great Yatchmans Breakfast on a Saturday morning. Very tasty and excellent portion. Quick friendly service. Sit at the window and watch the waves and fantastic view of Snowdonia.

Lovely cafe, really friendly. We sat outside in the November sunshine watching the sun over the water, absolutely beautiful. Blankets provided to help our knees warm. We both had fish finger sandwiches and they were superb, light crispy batter, delicious fresh meaty fish, homemade tartar sauce and coleslaw and plenty of it. Highly recommended

Stopped for coffee and hopefully a toasted tea cake. Sat at a table which hadn’t been cleared after the previous customers. When the waiter came to take our order he collected the dirty crockery but made no attempt to wipe the sticky food stained table. Ordered a macchiato from the menu and had to explain what it was. He brought our coffee and knives to butter the tea cakes which we assumed would follow. I asked him if he would mind cleaning the table. He returned with spray disinfectant and a piece of kitchen paper. We just managed to cover our coffees with a hand before he sprayed the whole area. We drank our coffee but no tea cakes appeared. Meanwhile the waiter was patting another customer’s dog and coughing into his hand so we decided that we didn’t really want to eat anyway. Went to the till to pay and had to point out that we’d only had 2 coffees, not 3 and no food. Shame, won’t be back.

Found it whilst walking around town looking for a dog friendly cafe. We both had the smaller breakfast and were pleased that the ingredients were decent quality and freshly cooked. Very happy with what we got and would return.

Bad food, worse service. Alright view.

Great location, nice vibe. coffees rather tasteless …made more so by seeing waitress ( who appeared to be the one in charge) pick up two mugs of coffee to pass to customers putting her fingers on the sides of the cup which people drink from, rather than using the cup handles.

Focaccia open sandwiches not brimming with fillings. The chorizo not chunky and meaty just the thin slices normally found on a charcuterie board. Prawn sandwich was ok. But the fries at £2.95 were an insult. Photos to follow.

Gave me food poisoning, the food was not flavourful and perhaps not fresh. Would not recommend

We went to the Pier House cafe for lunch yesterday. The staff were just lovely they greeted us with a lovely smile and couldn't have been more helpful. I had a fish finger sandwich it was absolutely beautiful and the coleslaw was really nice. I will definitely go there next time I'm in Beaumaris.

Busy when we arrived so had to wait for tables to be cleaned. Posh fish finger sandwich was delicious but the tea was awful. Staff polite.

Was sceptical as some really low scores on here but I was really happy with everything. We went in the evening and the service was really good, the food was amazing. I would give a well deserved 10/10. Its a bit pricy but I think it's worth it.

Well where do we start!! 😂went to this place without reading any of the reviews! We ordered a full breakfast and a round of DOORSTEP-toast with Cappuccino and pot of tea! Breakfast:: 2 pieces of Aldi thin bacon undercooked,1 egg, 1 decent sausage, piece of cool, dry, black pudding, slice of DOORSTOP toast as thin as you like and had been defrosted in the microwave cos was so watery you could wring it out, and to top it all a pot of baked beans that were as cold as an Eskimo in the Antarctic! Missus’ DOORSTEP again a fletchers loaf thin slice and defrosted in the microwave! £21-50 ripped off for! To top it all we were nearly wiped out the day before by a wannabe rally driver in a black Audi coupe which turned out to be the guy with glasses who served us there!!! 20mph was nowhere near adhered to as his four letter expletives said he did and as a business owner or on his daddies yacht should drive with extreme caution! Anyway food, shocking!! 😳😳

Very very disappointed. Ordered a sandwich & when we were asked if we'd like fries too, we said yes please!!!! Awful quality sandwich for £9.50 served with tiny pot of coleslaw. A small handful of fries looked as if they'd been thrown onto the plate from a great distance/height!!!! Total bill for this & 2 coffees - £18.50 😱😱. Never again will we set foot in here

There was only about 10 people inside, who I might add ,had already been served, we sat outside waited 10 minutes no one came out , so my husband went in, the man said I'll be out in a minute. Meanwhile another couple sat down, the lady went inside then came out. We waited another 10 minutes still no one came ,as we got up the guy came out with 2 drinks for the couple sat next to us, so he served her but ignored us appalling behaviour, obviously he doesn't need people's money definitely will not be going here again. We usually go here quite often and noticed the service getting slower be this was terrible, wouldn't of minded if it was really busy and only the fella on but like I said not busy at all, maybe other people have noticed it going down hill too .

I visited today whilst spending a weekend in Anglesey for my mums birthday along with my mum, sister and nephew. I ordered the plant burger which was close to being frozen when I bit into it, I told the waiter that I no longer wanted the burger (for obvious reasons) and he just took the plate and did not ask what I would like for a replacement. I thought he was going to come back but after waiting around 15 minutes he hadn’t so I got up and spoke to him and he said he didn’t think I wanted anything else and he had just taken the burger off the menu. Terrible service. My mum and sister should have also both had chips with their meals which never arrived at all. The worst place I have ever ate in, I would 100% not recommend this restaurant.

Food is always good here, but I find them reliably unreliable in terms of service. Often have to catch someone to actual place an order and they messed up the order badly, took a long time to sort it out. But once it came food was fab. Doesn't stop me going back for more

We used to use this café when visiting Anglesey a few years ago so we were looking forward to a meal here. What a disappointment. Food was poor (flatbread over cooked/crispy, and contents too salty) and the service was really bad. The waiting-on staff were discussing their time at the Pier House whilst out coffees went cold on the bar. In the end I had to go and collect them myself. And the toilets 😱. Looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for some time…

Had a good plate of fish and chips at the Pier House Café. The fish was well cooked in a nice golden batter the chips were good too. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

A disaster, on the whole. Not shown to table, which we'd booked, and reserved; table not set at all. Then ignored for half an hour. Husband asked for a beer, but was served with cider, I asked for half a pint of cider, and was then told that it wasn't available except in pints; I changed to another cider (half a pint) and was brought a large (pint) bottle. Table very sticky, and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. Ordered our starter, which didn't come. Eventually, main courses arrived, and waiter stated that we hadn't asked for a starter! Fish and chips actually good, but peas were very dried up. Gave up, at that point, and asked for the bill. Waiter asked whether we'd be giving a tip! No! Very disapointed, as we'd been before, several times, and always enjoyed the experience. Staff incompetent at job, and don't seem to speak or understand English very well. There seemed to be a problem in the kitchen, too, as there was a long period of about three-quarters of an hour when nobody was eating anything at all. A complete waste of a Saturday evening! Don't go!!

Ignored for first 15mins. Table dirty, asked twice for it to be wiped. Waitress struggled to comprehend what I was ordering. Food not as described. There were 3 of us, we only got 2 lots of crockery. I asked for cheese on Focaccia, got the flatbread. Husband should have had tempura veg with his Chili prawns, got tiny salad instead. Staff like headless chickens, unaware, not orderly or organised or aware AT ALL. This is the 3rd time in last 5 years that I have found this. Never again. The Pier House gets by because of its views, nothing else. It had no redeeming aspects I'm afraid. They should visit Ann's Pantry in Moelfre and "Look and learn". Suuuuuch a different, professional informed experience!! Just don't go yo The Pier House!

We had a very tasty posh fish finger sandwich and milk shakes and were very satisfied. Service was quick and friendly.we would definitely go again.

Service was dreadful....very slow and unhelpful. I had fish and chips.....the battery was quite nice but I didnt find much fish!!! Waste of £35....wouldnt go back!

Service so slow. I had to ask for chips to go back as luke warm..that came on its own without the main...when the main did come eventually it was lovely. Its a shame the service didn't match the food. Would never return due to very slow service

I’ve always wanted to go to the pier house as I love the outdoor seating area, so decided to try for a breakfast this morning. Saw on the board it was sit down and we will come to you! Brilliant. Sat down on a chair that felt like it was going to break on me. But no bother. Then waited for 10 mins and no one came up to us, even though someone walked past. So went into the bistro to order. Stood by the bar and was completely ignored by 4 members of staff. Not even a hello. Too interested in the new haircut one of them had recently got. Then witnessed another customer who had ordered a coffee takeaway but just got a cup of hot milk! Eventually someone realised i was stood there, (he had walked past me) already though. Asked what I wanted, I said I wanted to order and I was told to take a seat he was just sorting everyone else out! So I walked back out and figured you can’t be bothered with me so I won’t be bothered with you. Such a shame as we had high hopes for the breakfast but the bull was fantastic.

Went for breakfast with my husband . It became obvious very quickly that it was going to be a long wait . One waitress running around doing everything. All the tables were full outside with just 2 actually eating , or drinking.... We gave up...

visited for an evening meal as the location looked perfect to observe the sun setting over the seafront. We ordered drinks and our meal quickly and were served equally as quickly. My wife ordered Scampi with minted peas and unfortunately after the first tasting of...

Great food. Highly recommended.

I was hoping my recent visit was going to be an improvement from previous visits. Sadly I was disappointed. We sat and waited for half an hour before we gave up and left. In that time, no one had come to even take drinks orders....

Visited today, it wasn’t busy only 4 tables outside with people and nobody sat inside. Tables not cleaned with wasps flying around. Nobody came out to serve us after waiting 10 minutes, so I went inside where 3 members of staff were stood doing nothing. I asked should I order inside the man said no I will be out in just a minute. A further 10 minutes later still no service. So I asked again can we be served. Once we were served we ordered 3 drinks and no food. The waitress then went on to take orders from 2 other tables before putting our order through. It took 40 minutes to brig out 3 iced coffees, the table next to us had only ordered cold drinks, they ended up leaving as they took so long. The staff didn’t apologise, when the drinks arrived they tasted week and watery with mainly ice in the cup and barley any drink. The waitress working also complained about my dog even though she was being calm and sat under the table and it was supposedly dog friendly. 3 coffees came to £18!!!! I’ve are local so this is very disappointing as we will not be visiting again.

Me and the wife stopped off here after walking into Beaumaris. We ordered a couple of cokes and decided to have a look at the menu while we drank them. When the cokes arrived they were unlike any coke or pepsi we'd ever tasted, no ice, no slice. I can only assume it was some sort of supermarket own brand coke. We were charged £7 for the two glasses of coke. Funnily enough we weren't tempted to give them any more of our money after that.

Excellent food friendly service. Quite expensive. Unfortunately very few customers, so lacking in atmosphere. Shame cos the food was excellent

I'm a regular at this place, but service has been poor for the last few visits. Today will be my last visit. The service was just appalling (again). We and many other tables waited over 25 minutes just to place an order. Staff didn't know...

I’ve only given this a one because it wouldn’t let me give a zero. I wish I would’ve looked at Tripadvisor first because I could’ve just copied and pasted all the other reviews - terrible service, food turned up very late and the order was...

The table was sticky with sticky cup marks, ot hadn't been wiped for a while. The staff seemed poorly managed and took ages to come and serve us as they where too busy talking to there colleagues. I ordered the moussaka, the food came quickly...

Coffee. Greeted and shown to table. Order taken efficiently. All fine. In past have had poor service but not today. Couldn’t fault it
