The Black Bull Inn in Gwynedd

Sat outside. Lovely sunshine. Very pleasant.

Ordered on the app.Great service-friendly and helpful. All in all great Wetherspoons value.

Cheap ales, cheap food, quick, friendly service. Everything you expect from Wethers!

The quality of food / amount seems to be alooot less then before and need to clean glasses knifes and forks better sent lots back

The staff in here are really nice. Chloe provides really good service. She’s really friendly.

lady with dark brown hair, quite short and young; very aggressive and unnecessarily rude to people just trying to ask a question.

Food was undercooked and drinks were late for over 40 minutes (bare in mind tables were empty and the bar was empty), had to go up to the bar to ask when my drink was coming and was basically told I was lying as they could not guarantee If I had already received the drink already, eventually got my drink after attitude from bar staff, weather spoons I'm not scamming you out of a strongbow just please give me the drink I paid for.

The waiting staff are always horrible and moody, they never try and help you and always slam the plates on the table, just over all a bad experience every-time Caernarfon is definitely better, disappointing really.

Needs more staff on when busy Saturdays

Come here often, cheap and cheerful. Food can be ordered via the wetherspoons app and is literally at your table within five minutes. A full English breakfast, and coffee (with unlimited free refill) for under a fiver, you seriously can't go wrong

I was refused a drink because my friend was ‘too’ drunk. This was my friend and not myself which I felt was not fair to those who were trying to buy a drink and supply a business to this franchise

La comida era excelente, pero el servicio era deficiente a veces. La comida parecía ser mucho más lenta si ordenabas en persona en lugar de en la aplicación.

Cheap food and beer, great for a mid week lunch

Waited over 45mins for a drink to arrive. Went to the bar to ask for an eta on the drinks and was told to wait by a young women speaking to me as if I was an idiot.

Ciertamente, las ofrendas culinarias en Wetherspoons merecen grandes elogios, porque son una fiesta apta tanto para la plebe como para los nobles. Cada plato, elaborado con esmero y atención, presenta una deliciosa sinfonía de sabores que bailan sobre el paladar. El menú es una verdadera cornucopia, con abundantes clásicos como el suculento pescado con papas fritas, donde la masa dorada encierra pescado tierno, servido junto con papas fritas crujientes y doradas que llaman a ser saboreadas. Además, las deliciosas hamburguesas, adornadas con ingredientes frescos y acompañadas de un lado de patatas fritas sazonadas, proporcionan un placer satisfactorio que complace incluso a los gustos más exigentes. Pero no olvidemos las ofertas vegetarianas y veganas, que brillan en medio de la gama, mostrando el compromiso del establecimiento con la inclusión en las delicias culinarias. El ambiente también mejora la experiencia, creando un ambiente agradable donde florecen las risas y la buena alegría, mientras los clientes se reúnen para compartir historias y deleitarse con la alegría de la buena compañía. Verdaderamente, una visita a Wetherspoons es una indulgencia que deleita los sentidos y nutre el espíritu, dejándolo con una sensación de plenitud y un deseo de regresar para otra repesca encantadora.

Hi Wetherspoons Bangor Gwynedd is a good place for food great value for money but I went to Wetherspoons Bangor Gwynedd and had a glass of water and I got asked to buy something first which has never happened before and when I did buy something and then within an hour they the staff came to me and said you need to buy something more the staff came up to me at least three times. I regularly go to Wetherspoons Bangor Gwynedd but after that experience I won't be going so much anymore. Arthur

Muy bien, lugar perfecto para comer. La única queja fue que hubo un ligero retraso en que me sacaran la orden.

Cheap and cheerful Wetherspoon, always busy even lunchtimes on weekdays.

Had to wait a while for food to be served but otherwise good.

Perhaps a bit unfair because it was very busy (full), the food wasn't great, otherwise it was your standard chain pub.

A nice spoons. Breakfast was very good as was the service.

No he estado en una cuchara en años pero wow me sorprendió lo barato que era , se incluyen bebidas con los precios de los alimentos y la calidad era definitivamente mejor de lo que pensaba que sería teniendo en cuenta los precios pagados , estaba muy ocupado allí también y el lugar estaba limpio y el personal era agradable, especialmente la camarera galesa, sin duda recomendaría para parejas y familias

Haven’t been to a spoons in years but wow i was surprised how cheap it was , you get drinks included with the food prices and the quality was definitively better than i thought it would be considering the prices paid , it was really busy there also and the place was clean and the staff were nice especially the welsh barmaid, would definitely recommend for couples & family's

Great Wetherspoons, clean with polite friendly staff.

Okay-ish food with plenty of options available but wasn’t too great in taste! One time visit worth Had chilli bean non-carne with Mexican rice, quantity was too little tho! Drinks included in some food options, hence too cheap 🥳

Was there on the 11th December. My daughter had their festive £11.99 turkey meal, and got food poisoning. That night, she couldn't sleep due to mussel cramps and sickness.

The manager was awful no customer service at all was swearing all over the place, terrible food aswell not cooked at all had hair on the food definitely not recommended that place worst Wetherspoons in the wales even uk

Very good staff, good selection of beers and very friendly atmosphere

Very fast service. Food could of been hotter

Awful experience, one of your female barstaff was completely rude when serving me and my friend, understandably she was stressed on a busy shift but taking that anger out on a customer when I had been nothing but polite towards her, especially after an extremely long wait to order, is in no way tolerable customer service

Family of 4, food ordered placed via the app for ease. Was made aware of a 15 mins wait for food. Drinks arrived quickly. After 20 mins of waiting we asked about our order we were told it would be out shortly. 2 others tables close by us with groups of 4 arrived after us, yet received there food order before us. After a 40 minute wait our food arrived, 3/4 meals served were cold! Steak was supposed to be medium and was well done. Went to speak with staff to have the cold food replaced, but decided on a refund. We like to eat at wetherspoons as it's cheap and cheerful but sadly on this occasion it wasn't. We have never had an issue with any of the wetherspoons we frequent. This was a first and hopefully last. We will not be visiting The Black Bull Inn anytime soon.

Mi amigo y yo pensamos que probaríamos Wetherspoons Bangor para variar, pero no me apresuraré a regresar por comida. Mi amiga eligió lasaña de ternera y patatas fritas que disfrutó y se veía bastante bien. Comí bistec y pudín de riñón, puré, guisantes enlatados y pedí una porción extra de verduras asadas. Ambas comidas se entregaron en menos de 10 minutos de pedido en el bar, ¡más rápido que un McDonalds drive a través! Mi comida no se veía muy apetitosa, el puré estaba salpicado en el plato y había sido ‘sobre microondas’ al igual que los grumos duros en él, la salsa era grumosa, el pudín S & K era pequeño, de nuevo microondas que estropeó la parte superior de pastelería. Tenía un tamaño de cuchara del desierto de la verdura extra asada en un tazón pequeño y algunos guisantes enlatados pálidos en el plato. Muy decepcionante.

Ordered food and drink. Food arrived after 10 mins. Finished food and still wating for drinks 50 minutes later. Was really understaffed but still ridiculous. Poor management!

Same as all Wetherspoons, tables are never clean when you sit down. Staff are very busy. Only 1 member of staff serving yesterday so it was a bit slow to get served. Coffee from machine was very watery

Nice ,quick service if your using the app

Cheap drinks and delivery table service but table service is slow due to always being busy. Overall great atmosphere and will definitely keep visiting.

Hello Citizen of Welsh Lands. Nice to meet you my name Borat. I brought brother Bilo into here to give him first taste of stronk drink but he was refused entry as they do not server 8 years olds for some reasons. Not pleased and is not my usual great success. Much dissapoint.

We had evening drinks and dinner here, and breakfast on the way home.. Much cheaper than the (nice) hotel we were using. The Black Bull had a cosy atmosphere with friendly staff and patrons.

Great spot for dinner, the food is good quality and to be expected for the price. However i would be mindful of which days and times you decide to go, as it can be full of students during fridays and the weekends, and can become quite loud and lively. Still a good spot to have dinner with the family.

Slow at serving, people pushing in and getting served first

A great location with wonderful atmosphere and amazing food! Staff are really friendly and hardworking. The toilets are very nice too!

Had to remind them that I ordered food and was still waiting 30mins later very slow service

Cheap food, need to walk to the bar to order but a very relaxing atmosphere Got a burger with side of fries and a drink for £2.50 as it's their burger special day

Never brings straws to the table when asked for

Missing item of the menu . Pasta. Mixed grill was not that good here the chip looked like they had been standing for a while plus rubbish portion. The meat was over cooked and dry . Not a good mixed grill!

We had an extremely disappointing experience at this establishment. The young woman serving displayed an alarmingly poor attitude, repeatedly rolling her eyes when I sought clarification about the menu. The menu did not specify the wraps were available in different sizes. When I inquired about the options, the staff member responded with an attitude and continued to be rude throughout the interaction. She behaved as though she was doing us a favour by simply performing her duties as a waitress. The young woman displayed a noticeable attitude problem, which is unacceptable to bring into the work environment, particularly when interacting with paying customers, or anyone, for that matter. She displayed a distinct lack of natural customer service skills, likely exasperated by insufficient staff training.

Typical Spoons, good priced drinks and the usual meal with 16 chips! Bar was very busy and had to wait quite a while to be served. A pleasant outdoor seating area at the back. You know what you are going to get you have a choice!

This is the only pub I know that if you Laugh Nod off Enjoy yourself to much Answer back knowing you right drunk YOU GET BANNED went to weathers caernafon you can laugh and joke and all this and very diffrent to bangor weathers and people much nicer and down to earth,,da iawn chi popol caernafon,,,

Bar service & table cleaning is shambolick , One person is serving on bar with nothing in place to who in next to be served , just whoever shouts loudest , bar man takes no notice of who is next , had to clean our own table & it’s not that busy at 2.30 pm the students haven’t returned to Bangor yet . Very poor:-(

Unfortunately not the best. My jacket potatoe with chilli was so dry. Husbands all day breakfast was ok. We visited at a quiet time of day and the service was not the best. A waitress came out with a plate of food, didn't know who it belonged to so just left it on a random empty table 🙈 it belonged to a fella sat at the other end of the room so he had to go for it himself. We also witnessed another couple of families that had to take plates of food back as their orders were incorrect. Dont think I would hurry back there unfortunately

Busy pub different and a variety of ages for customers from families with young children to young ladies groups and a few young men's group's all enjoying the good atmosphere xx

Stella completely flat and in wrong glass, place wasn’t busy at all. Pot washer must not have turned up. Young girl who served me was rude, had a face like thunder, and was acting as though I was inconveniencing her day by bringing her back these awful stellas. Came for food, ended up drinking half our replacement Punk IPA’s and swiftly got out of there avoiding the sticky menu all together. This is the second time we have been to the Black Bull inn and will surely be the last. Me and the wife visit Wetherspoon’s regularly with our favourite spots including the Moon under The water in Manchester and the Castle Hotel in Ruthin. AVOID the Black Bull Inn, the staff care more about idle chat amongst themselves than serve customers and clean tables. One of the staff was serving drinks with her hood up. Unbelievable

Hot food served fast and a drink thrown in. Large open bar/seating area and outdoor seating.

Had a good meal here and used the app as bar looked busy with A-Level students celebrating. App worked well and drinks then food came quickly. Staff were very helpful and smiley. Also used the disabled toilet with a wheelchair user which wasn't too bad. Grateful for the facility. Always appreciate Wetherspoons when looking for a meal when travelling as they serve till quite late, have good choice, and are very cheap! Well done Wetherspoons, great business model.

Had the mixed grill , chicken wings as extra. The meat was extremely overcooked , worst I've had at a wetherspoon. sausage was nice but cold. Chicken wings cold. Was busy today, so had to wait a bit which is fine , but the food was terrible.

Food was great but service was slow. A nice atmosphere.

Just needed a quick wet and we happened to be in Bangor. Where else but the local Wetherspoons for a cheap all you can drink cup of coffee? And so it came to pass that we found ourselves sat in The Black Bull Inn on Bangor High Street. We sat our behinds on the uncomfortable chairs, after pouring our own coffee at one of the machines nearby. It was hot, it was coffee, it was Bangor. It was coffee in Bangor. The pub was entirely forgettable, nothing stood out at all. It was drab, it was dull, it was a lower end Wetherspoons if truth be told. But we did get coffee AND it was in Bangor.

More space than you’d expect, split level space with tables a’plenty to sit eat and drink. Food was well presented and tasty all at a decent price.

Entered with my family and a small well behaved dog. Ordered food and drinks and sat down in beer garden. Only to be informed that dogs aren't allowed afterwards. Staff were awkward and unprofessional. Bit of a run down dump.

Went to this pub for a few drinks after my mothers funeral with a few friends. We were sitting in the beer garden when a member of staff came over and asked my friend to turn his phone off as he was playing a tune on his phone. My husband tried to explain to the glass collector who claimed she was the manager!!!! Which she wasnt!! And she just ignored him and went back in then she came out of the cellar door with the so called manager and then accused us of swearing at her which we didnt. We are in out late 5os, 60s and 70s and would not verbally abuse some kid who was on a power trip claiming she was the manager! But there you go. How times have changed. We will never frequent weatherspoons again ever and yes on leaving we vwrbally abised the kids on a power trip!! Manager my backside!! One upset and pissed off ex landlady who knows the rules and regulations of a pub and perfomance rights!!

Egg, sausage. Bacon wrap was cold but didn't bother complaining as it was a busy time and I only paid just over a fiver Inc Guinness.

Just like every other weatherspoons. Although that's not a criticism.

Really nice staff, lovely pint of leffe and a top notch small meat feast pizza. Very friendly locals aswell.

Nice Wetherspoons in slightly dowdy area

Food came fast and hot, it's a weatherspoons lol ladies toilets are up 16 stairs x

Visited yesterday staff not very friendly behind the bar not good customer service. We also saw someone being removed from there he was asked to leave ? While you are on holiday.

Lovely breakfast with the grandchildren

No one can beat their quality and price

A welcome pub that is in a rather run down town.

Standard Wetherspoons. Not sure if the plates are getting bigger or the meals are getting smaller??? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Super service. Very nice outdoor seating area at the back.

If you want Spoons you won't be disappointed.

Went here for breakfast, which was really good and reasonably priced with free coffee/tea refills, large seating area, plenty of space, very friendly staff, disabled parking was the only downside

Staff are too young, no organisation, dirty tables, condiments empty, 1 member of staff serving a very busy city restaurant, absolutely ridiculous! 4 out of 4 meals were incorrect and very late arriving, who does your staff rota? That seriously needs addressing. We shall never eat there again! Sort this out, You need a restaurant manager over the age of 35,

I've never sat for two hours waiting for my order. At first they didn't take the order correctly, then they told me and I waited 40 minutes, then they told me to wait another 20 minutes. But after another 1 hour I still hadn't received anything Disgusting service Would not recommend to anyone

Efficient, friendly, v.helpful service from Mr Mullet (sorry dude you were too busy to get yr name). Excellent fish and chips (peas were discoloured & tasted as if they'd been in water for several hours)

Went in for a brunch and a couple of drinks with my brother, and we both ordered a small breakfast, in which we added extras on top, even though it's was busy drinks came in around 5min and our meal came 20min later, the food was ok except for the bacon slightly dried but edible, but will still continue to visit as the meal has been ok.

Staff are good but cutlery was dirty with other people's food on it. Was asked to replace and again gave dirty knives and forks.

We went early the young lady was polite and efficient food was served fast and was good quality and tasty.

We parked Inthe disabled parking in the carpark at the rear which is free for disabled. We were early so it was quiet, but the young lady serving was polite cheerful and helpful. The food was delivered quickly, and was tasty, and the hot drinks were all you can drink. Overall good value, good service and pleasant.

Food comes after others who came a long time after us because the five of us are a "large order". Then when they miss out one person's meal we're told by the stroppy waitress there's a 25 minute wait which they can't rush. Terrible service.

We took the opportunity to have a small snack in the early afternoon. The food was good and cheap (special rates in the afternoon). The service was friendly and professional. We were able to sit outside in the sun.

Great Weatherspoons in Bangor. Gets very busy in peak time. Bigger than expected.

Lovely space, great views, carpark, outside seating, friendly staff, fast service, great opening hours, superb prices.!

Honestly this place ain't worth it. I know it's the spoons, and you shouldn't really get your hopes up, but it's kind of gross just go somewhere else.

The manager is awful, rude and disrespectful. After a small miscommunication about who’s food was who’s she was racist to another college who had a small language barrier causing the mishap. She, Mary, approached us with a rude and confrontational manner whilst we were just trying to work out the situation calmly. She said it’s not their fault and wouldn’t let us get a word in, whilst trying to tell her we never said it was your fault we just wanted to sort it out. Then she pulled a disgusted face and walked off. Overall this wasn’t a nice experience from a manger in such a high position and definitely left a distasteful impression on our meal and view of the black bull spoons in bangor.

The most affordable restaurant with some great vegan options

The establishment have only got two people working 23 may 2024. 4 orders of breakfast, took 20 mins for a coke to arrive 30 minutes for pineapple juice and coffee cup. And currently sat 50+minutes for a breakfast ordered at 9:16 currently 10:03 with 4 shouts to staff about the order. Clearly not suitable for 2 staff as they can't manage the orders.

They could smile. Must be the weather

Only had the breakfast+2 pints of Abbot ale. Won't eat a main meal in any spoons, not value for money. They count the chips!!!!

Called in here on our way to railway after visiting other spoons in the area

The while place was a mess, all the tables were dirty and full of dirty used plates and crockery, not a single clean table. Food was cold when it arrived. And one of the waitresses was just arrogant with no customer service about her. Very dissapointing visit.

This is another good Wetherspoons. Looks to be 2 buildings knocked through which gives it a ground level accessible entrance. Food was good, quick to arrive. Selection of reals a bit sparse but 2 I tried where good. They also had their normal 3 ales too. Staff were nice and helpful too. Worth another visit!

JD gets a bad rap, but we (3 adults & 2 small children) had comfortable seats, fast service, lovely staff and a great meal for around £40. The place has lots of character, great balcony and outdoor seating and a wheelchair accessible toilet, so ticks all the boxes. Definitely would go again.

Not enough staff behind the bar

I had a bad experience here but the duty manager made up for it! I order Fish and chips, the server (who was rude) brought it over - I cut into the fish and the knife wouldn't go through. Im not normally one to complain but this was not edible. I said to the server, the fish isn't edible and she took my plate and walked off. The duty manager came over and asked if I wanted the same again. I said as long as it isn't overcooked. He went off, came back a few minutes later and said the reason the fish was like that was because they had run out of flour for the batter. I was shocked he didn't already know this being the duty manager. I then said I will have the scampi instead - off he went, 5 minutes later he came back, I'm really sorry but I've just been informed we don't have any scampi. By this time my husband and child had finished their meals and I was still just sat there. He offered me a drink free if charge as compensation - needless to say this wasn't enough. I order a completely different meal, which was £3 cheaper than the original, no refund offered for the difference... He tried his best but overall, I wouldn't go back.

Decent spoons pub, food was average not the best for some dishes like the curries pizzas or nachos. Tables are often left unclean, can be busy at times, nice beer garden and outside area. Good service

Just had a drink here whilst exploring Bangor whilst on a day trip. Good service, nice view from outside area.

Great pub good basic food at reasonable price good staff

You get what you pay for, it's a spoons but a bit nicer than some
