The Barmouth Bar and Grill in Gwynedd

We popped in for tea on a Saturday PM and it was incredibly busy and was fully booked. Thankfully, the bar staff managed to find us a comfy table with a moments notice. I had the gammon and my friend had a pizza - both meals were served swiftly and the portions were fabulous. Both were incredibly tasty with no complaints. Brilliant staff and a tasty menu.

Quiet little pub great food and even better customer service

Delicious food had the curry which was fairly mild (I'm a light weight when it comes to spices) and tasty. There were 6 of us all having various meals off the traditional menu we all enjoyed it. Service was swift and it was not too busy at lunch when we visited last week. Dogs are allowed.

Excellent fish and chips, good service, good to see families and dogs allowed in. Service very good and friendly and good to see they checked we were happy with the food. Having read some of the negative reviews in here i can only guess they reviewed the wrong place or moan about everything!

Great food friendly staff, place was under light renovation when we visited but lounge was very clean

Pre booked table as there were 12 of us, no problem. All the food was ordered at once on the same order, and we were allowed to pay separately after the meal. Excellent food, with everybody's meals being piping hot and very tasty. Very nice staff, helpful and pleasant.

Nice food.good friendly service.

Don't deserve a star ... the pub is lovely and we were looking forward to a nice meal a few drinks and after looking at the online menu we were sure this was the place .... what a huge mistake. We went in to be greeted at the bar by a miserable waitress and could cut the tension with a knife. After being shown to the table the waitress sat back in the corner where she is sat with I'm assuming other staff (they also have been serving,if you can call it that ) where they are just drinking vapeing and getting clearly annoyed when someone approaches the bar. We were sat opposite them and they were swearing which is extremely unprofessional. I get it's out of season at the moment but wow there is really no excuse! We asked to move and they just left us to re-seat ourselves. Apparently now when you make a reservation service isn't included. We sat there watching them as they got up to serve from their personal lives and not once did they wash there hands! The food was mediocre at best and not even piping hot as you would expect from an empty pub. There wasn't 1 check back so we had to go to the bar again to tell them the food wasn't edible. My partner had to have his food replaced where as I made due as I felt so uncomfortable with the lack of professionalism. I now understand why other restaurants were fully booked and this one was so empty. I f I were there manager I'd seriously be reconsidering some roles. The attitude of the staff here is so damaging to the brand and God help the business owner. Non of their hair is tied back and only 1 had uniform on. Let's hope EHO isn't doing a visit anytime soon or the police for that matter as a lad looking no older than 16 is also helping serve drinks. Perhaps their time would be better spent doing a good clean instead of drinking and breaking the law vapeing in a public place !

Decent pub with simple but tasty pub meals and a good selection of drinks. Prompt and friendly service and dog-friendly.

Great food and staff were incredible

Editing review based on revisit 09/2024 Bit confusing on seating, FYI sit at any table without a reserved sign! Waitress strangely couldn’t tell us this after asking twice?? manager kindly let us know this. Food was great, nice atmosphere, staff don’t seem too happy, but they were under pressure. 05/2023 - Popped in for a quick pint, youngish lady was not very welcoming, stated we must sit at a certain table and was quite abrupt serving us, seemed quite off and rude… decided not to spend any more money for a meal in this establishment. 0/10 won’t be visiting again.

Nice place with good service. It's more pricey than other places so tends to be more tourist orientated

Absolutely an amazing place … went as a couple with our boxer dog… then went back with Mum and Dad and boxer dog! Steak was so good … went back as a couple with our boxer dog…. Can’t fault them landlord so lovely 🥰 welcomed us all and made a fuss of our boxer xx ❤️

Called in for late lunch yesterday. Ordered the chicken in Peri Peri sauce. When it came I felt sick. It just had sauce poured on a piece of chicken. The chicken was very red near the bone and I couldn't eat it. I went to show the staff who responded it's been cooked longer than usual so it's fine. It wasn't fine it knocked me sick. Would definitely not recommend.

Great place for dining, good food and great atmosphere

We went around lunch time and it was quite busy so we were lucky to get a seat without booking in advance. When entering the establishment the atmosphere was very cool, lots of chatting and quiet music on in the background however no one was there to greet us so stood awkwardly for about 5 minutes between the bar and a table waiting for staff to make sure we could eat there. After being seated by a very polite waitress we went to the bar to order food, the wait for food was ordinary however the food, although edible, was highly unsatisfactory. We ordered Two mains and a side order to share as a starter (we asked at the bar and they said this was okay.) however the starter came 5 minutes after the mains arrived. The pizza seemed freshly made but the taste lacked real flavour and was extremely greasy. The halloumi flatbread was dry and was packed with enough halloumi to feed 4 people, not complaining about the amount however by the time you get round to eating the last of it, it’s cold and rubbery. I would normally recommend this place however considering the hefty price of £60 for a fairly inadequate meal I’d have to advise against it. Best thing about this place was the bottled cider in the fridge, ice cold.

I went to this smart modern bar with a friend for an early Dinner. On arrival it was fairly busy, we didn't have a reservation but were still seated by a member of staff. We both chose a chicken burger from the large varied menu. The burgers arrived promptly and were hot and tasty but nothing amazing. However, the home made pavlovas we chose for dessert were fabulous, easily the best pud I have had in a long time. Crunchy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside, topped with fresh cream and lovely berries.

Very busy day but the food was good pub food. You had to go the bar for service.

ok food, little over priced, dull atmosphere

Great place for lunch. Fresh tasty food. My son has the pizza and it was huge and homemade. We had tuna and cheese ciabattas. And they were served with a lovely dressed salad

Not been here before but will definitely be visiting again, fantastic value for money.

Had a lovely meal at The Barmouth Bar & Grill, lovely staff and great food. Made to feel very welcome too

Visited here for a lunchtime meal. Was very busy and didn't wait long for a table. The food was delicious and served hot. Didn't wait long for meals. Service was good. The only problem found was maintenance noise in the background the whole time we were dining.

Awful customer services staff at end of bar on phones all the time we was in bar served us wrong drinks and tutted and slamed them down worst part we could hear them calling other customers and swearing with lots of children in bar avoid at all cost

Amazing find, great drinks and foods, brilliant staff and service

Food lovely,just great night amazing

One of the few places in Barmouth that offer vegan food. Clean throughout, food was served quickly. We visited on a very hot day and they had the doors open, which ended up making the place smell of car fumes. Otherwise brilliant place to get some food in Barmouth.

Excellent food and service, recommend booking as it was full on both the occasions we visited.

Looked for the best place to eat whilst visiting the beach. This was suggested, wasn't disappointed, lovely food, good selection of drinks, child friendly, staff were lovely. Thanks

We called in here on mid pub crawl feeling the dinner time hunger the menu had so much taste we had to indulge in a couple of pints of ale my wife and I decided on the Pork belly flat bread with salad and I had the gammon no pineapple as that’s witchcraft absolutely fantastic food pork belly literally melted in your mouth well done to the staff highly recommend

Long wait for food. Food ok nothing special my advice would be take a look around before settling here.

Great pub. Five of us walked in on a busy Saturday lunch time. Got a table, ordered food & drinks and it was there in good time. Excellent quality & value for money. Couldn’t fault it. A lot of expensive places in Barmouth but this one doesn’t feel like a rip off, so will return.

Such a great experience. We visit as a family teenager and grandparent. Booths were private and comfortable seating and well suited for the wheelchair. Very clean restaurant and toilets Lovely welcoming atmosphere and pleasant friendly staff. Great prices great food and very tasty with a wonderful menu. Lasagna , British pizza and halloumi kebab were fantastic and very good portion size. We often visit Barmouth and always use this pub and never fails. Thank you see you soon.

Great pub with some decent food. Nothing makes it stand out but a nice place to visit.

Lovely food, served with a friendly smile, could find no fault as it was certainly reasonably priced apart from the Guinness 0 was not cold enough, but had a very pleasant untrusted evening thank you

Okay place for large groups. Good pub food, but the fish and chips weren't the best, fish was quite soggy.

Great food. Staff friendly and helpful. Only problem was not enough room between chair and table

The food was great and friendly service too I enjoy it 😁

Staff were very helpful in helping us get a table. Food was lovely and all of us agreed- chicken kebab, Halloumi kebab and lasagne followed by amazing chocolate brownie and profiteroles. Food was fresh, hot and good size portions. Will definitely return if in the area

Might be THE worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The servers/ bar staff were not arsed at all, was too funny. We walked in and they didn’t greet us just on their phones, then we’re given some half arsed instructions about eating/ table etc. Slapped the food down on the table and upon leaving just glared at us as we walked out. The food was really nice and the awful customer service made the visit rather enjoyable. I thought it was really funny and I didn’t know if it might have been a skit.

We booked a big party of 28 people. The staff were well organised and told us what was needed from us. When we arrived the tables were set, the food was served quickly and together. It was served hot and delicious. Paying was easy and the whole evening was a success due to the great customer service and well cooked food. Highly recommend

Nice pub food at reasonable prices. Went here 2 nights in a row both nights food was delicious and hot. Staff friendly and helpful.

I had the Welsh beef burger. And it was delicious. The burger bun was really nice, the burger was juicy and cooked nicely. Nice chips and coleslaw. Friendly staff, hot food. Clean bar and toilets

Lovely place to eat. Full of atmosphere and the staff were friendly. We ordered pizza and Steak & chips.

I liked it in here. First time in and the beer was decent and although we didn't eat, the food that was being brought out looked really good. Good atmosphere and will definitely be returning here.

Great food good ambience fast polite service and dog friendly 😀

Very busy, the sea bass that I had was beautiful. Was not so keen in the booths we were in. They were a tight squeeze.

Food is absolutely amazing and staff are lovley, definitely recommend

Great family meal, atmosphere 👌, always come here when in Barmouth

Been my go to all week, Fantastic food and atmosphere 👌

Food took over an hour, 2 plates were missing items named on the menu, lots of people were complaining how long it was taking.

Was expecting a nice meal from here but the food is only OK. Expensive for the quality of the food. The kids meals looked like frozen food from Iceland and adult burgers not that tasty or nice. Just OK.

Very good food and served quickly too. Staff were very helpful & I would definitely recommend a visit

Honestly hands down the best place to eat in Barmouth. Tourist and dog friendly. Fresh quick food, reasonably priced. Don't leave without trying the Sea Bass. It's fantastic !!!!

We enjoyed our visit here. I'd recommend it for the food which was nicely presented and of good quality. The service from the staff was excellent. It's also dog friendly.

Very nice food, helpful staff. Dog friendly. Decorations too modern for me.

Really great find in Barmouth. We had the fish platter, pork belly bites and a portion of onion rings. Delicious food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Called in for a quick drink with family. Prompt service and welcoming atmosphere. Didn't eat but food offerings look fantastic. We will be back!

Great meal on a bank holiday weekend 😊

Had a good meal with the family at weekend, will go back again.

Love this place..staff very friendly. Very attentive. Food was excellent. Drink prices very good..would highly recommend the place.

Food was great and overall a nice friendly pub/bar.

Nice fresh food lovely atmosfere great service

Really good food, awesome service and a nice atmosphere. Highly Recommend 👍

Food was lovely and girl behind bar was very attentive, thought it was a little expensive but we needed food and couldn't find anywhere else doing full meals at 3.30 in the afternoon so we're limited. When we went into the pub there was only bar staff and chef in there so we were the only customers, a couple more people came in and they were all young so us 60+ felt it was aimed at the younger generation so we finished our meal and left.

Nice atmosphere, but food a little expensive for frozen ingredients. Cod and fries now being served. Not cod and chips. Doesn't seem to go together. Very expensive at nearly £16, for frozen food. Nice staff and friendly place.

Stopped off in Barmouth for a couple of hours and popped in for a bite to eat. We were warmly welcomed, and the food was lovely. Didn't take long from placing the order to when our food arrived.

Great atmosphere, really friendly staff and the food was amazing!

We spotted this "pub" whilst walking through the town in the day and with The Last Inn fully booked we tried here. What a find! The pub was busy but they found us a table and we ordered battered prawns and spring roll (which was two massive ones) the barmaid explained they don't serve starters with a gap for mains unless you order at two different times but we said we would have everything at the same time. My husband ordered T-bone and I had the homemade kebabs. It was all amazing- freshly battered prawns and my kebab was do big with pitta, salad and coleslaw that I couldn't eat my fries. They said there was a wait on food which was fine as we were having drinks. The food was excellent and service was fab. This deserves more promotion than it had. We didn't find it when we googled "restaurants near me" bit so glad we did. Reasonable price and great for families and couples. Thanks.

Excellent little find - we didn't want fine dining but just good quality pub food and this is what we found! We didn't book but they found us a table and we ordered battered prawns and spring rolls (two massive ones) and a t-bone steak and the homemade kebabs. The quality was brilliant along with the friendly welcome and service. We were on a child free night away but the kids menu was great and families were dining. It is a proper pub but with fantastic quality food. For the prices we expected frozen prawns but they were hand battered and plump. The t-bone was cooked perfectly and the kebab so generous I didn't touch my fries. Excellent all round.

Food was lovely and staff welcoming and friendly

Table for 16 booked easily on a Saturday evening. Excellent service, delicious food and great value. So good we visited again for Sunday lunch the following day.

Only customer when I visited but very high prices which is probably why it's not supported by locals

Gad the special, tandoori chicken, cooked beautifully. Served with some salad and fries. Took long enough to know it was cooked to order but very prompt. nice atmosphere, young lady who served us was very pleasant and polite.

Food was lovely second time we have eaten there not been disappointed.

We had looked at The Barmouth @ Grill on google maps. The food looked great. My gammon was lovely, but, to serve a childs portion of 2 sauages and fries at 7.95 is shocking. The service was poor, just young kids who didnt care. The man who brought the food was kind and professional. The bar staff are young and dismissive.

We went here last night (3rd Jan) for a bite to eat. When we walked in I asked whether they were serving food, to which the woman grunted they were, then I asked whether it was dog friendly to which I got a similar grunt. The food was very nice, I had the lamb kofta which was delicious and fairly priced. The young woman who brought our food out was very friendly. It was a good experience but the woman who was working was pretty miserable and didn’t really make us feel welcome.

We went for late lunch not to busy very clean had amazing fish platter son had an enormous burger and daughter in law had chicken wrap very hot food delicious and very full thank you and is dog friendly 🐶👍

Chicken burger was basically a Birdseye special for 16 quid

Very nice food. Had the chicken burger. Food delivered in a good time. Atmosphere was good. Monday is not too busy. Good selection of drinks and friendly staff.

Booked a table 6pm on Saturday night, bar was relatively quiet. Service from the bar was good and friendly. There were 11 of us eating, meals came quickly and the food was good and hot.

Excellent quality steak on Friday night s

The only 2 things that let this pub down,no disabled access ,my partner had to lift my mobility scooter up a large step just to get through door,only then too be greeted with another step inside.food menu in my opinion was over priced for a pub,only a handful of people inside.the young barman was very polite and friendly.great playlist on Spotify playing.bring your menu prices down.especially when Barmouth has no weatherspoons to offer families or people who are on a budget.

Great beer and food, lovely staff will definitely be back again

Good food, good service and great staff

We arrived on a Saturday evening without booking but the very friendly staff managed to find a slot for us. Great quality food without much of a wait washed down with a perfect pint of Staropramen. Really liked the vibe and decor, and would recommend the place to groups or couples. My 12 year old was with us and was made to feel very welcome - he loved his custom Halloween drink! Would visit again if we're back in Barmouth.

Cider/beer in tap was all flat and when I tried to sort this with the bar the customer service was dreadful. I bought three drinks in the end to find something that was drinkable which cost me £10! Food was not fresh, mostly cold and poor quality (battered fish seemed like the stuff you buy at Iceland and keep in the freezer, even though they have access to fresh seafood from the harbour!!!). And it was all massively overpriced, we could have had fine dining quality food in Barmouth for not much more money.

We had a lovely meal here tonight, all our meals were very good, good portions for the money, certainly not ripped off. Good was cooked well and nice and fresh too. Recommend it to anyone who wants good basic food.

Visited twice in a week, can not fault it! And I don't mind admitting that I'm a but of a food snob. 8 different meals over 2 visits and every one was spot on. Chicken burgers are very good, as are the pan fried sea bass and the chicken tika masala. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, prices are what I'd expect to pay for very good pub grub. Definitely recommend, we'll 100% be returning. We'll done guys 👏

Great food, quick service and very reasonable. The only reason for giving 3 stars for atmosphere was that it was dead in there. However it was a Monday evening, I'm sure it's more lively later in the week and over weekends.

Lovely in side and sitting in with the family and have good time really plite and friendly

We went in because they accept dogs, we had a fantastic meal and the staff were very helpful would highly recommend

I came in for lunch on Friday and ordered the Barbouth Burger. The food was good, but a considering this is a bar and grill - I did feel like what should be the signature burger did let the side down. I've had a welsh beef burger several times from different establishmens, all of which the patty have been thicker. However it was a very well made burger and all the ingredients were fresh - but I was a bit disappointed given the price and name of this grill. The decor Is nice, slightly rustic and plenty of tables. I can imagine it gets busy at time. The service was good, and the wait on the food was about 15 minutes. Deffo worth a visit if your hungry.

What lovely attentive and fun staff. So friendly and helpful, with amazing service. Live music was on when we visited as a group of friends, and Liam was great! Food was also lovely and quick service. Thank you for having us!

Approached the restaurant to be left standing in the doorway for an extended period of time while the front of house staff gossiped with her friend behind the bar. Then lead to a table crammed into the corner of the restaurant with food debris and spilled drinks clearly on the floor beneath. We asked to move to another table and the front of house staff bluntly said no. Then 2 minutes later returned to advise we could move to another table. The next table was equally filthy. Admittedly it had been wiped with a cloth leaving greasy sticky marks over the top surface. The small shelf/ledge to the offside of the table was thick with dust and an occasional dead bluebottle. Looking around the once white skirting boards were thick with grease and marks of varying nature. Overall the place was filthy and staff rude. Can not comment on food as I would not allow anything cooked in that building to pass my lips.

Group meal for 20 people, food came out promptly, at the same time and was fresh and hot. Staff helpful, beef burgers were thick, meaty and tasty

We've just had lunch here and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It was all home cooked, tasty and very well presented. Great choice for lunch thanks.

Visited as one of the few restaurants open on a Monday in Barmouth. Very impressed. Was expecting a generic Chicken Burger for refuelling but got a very tasty dish: salted crispy fries, creamy coleslaw and a tender well seasoned chicken with good quality bun seasoned with black pepper. Somebody cares about detail in the kitchen. Staff were friendly, efficient and busy.

We often call here for a meal. Always reliable food. On this occasion however on ordering our food, we decided to order two items from the nibbles menu as starters, followed by our mains. On requesting the two nibbles dishes as starters, I was told that we couldn't do that, as the kitchen doesn't work like that! The nibbles dishes will come out with your mains! Don't quite get the logic in this, so we just ordered our mains. Turning extra trade away isn't good business practice in my opinion! That said our mains dishes were fine.

We were in Barmouth for a four day break and returned home yesterday (08.09.23). On Thursday evening we enjoyed a superb meal in this venue. I had the sea bass and my hubby had the gammon meal (the latter was a very large portion). The bar staff/servers were very welcoming and pleasant, The ambiance of the venue was nice and it was clean. Will definitely go back to the venue when we are next in Barmouth. Could not find fault with anything. Well done Barmouth Bar and Grill.
