The Cayley Flyer in Conwy

DO NOT EAT HERE!! As a family of 11 coming in today I’m absolutely appalled at the food that was served!! The food stank!!! It smelt of sweaty feet, the gammon was stone cold, the roasties were the only nice thing on the plate! What a waste of £14!!!! I swear they got the gravy out the toilet. When the girl asked was everything ok I said no she said ok and walked off!!!

Walked past and decided to pop in for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was hot, good portion size and good value for money. Tables were kept clean and tidy. My only slight criticism was I had to ask for toilet roll for the ladies toilets as all had run out. So just a bit more attention to detail is needed.

We visited here for lunch with family. To be honest I wasn't really expecting much after reading some reviews. I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised!. The food was really lovely. My husband and myself had a burger, and the mother in law at scampi. The burger was exactly homemade and full of flavour. The only thing was the chips. There were thin, and the mother in law had thick chips. She prefers thin chips, so we just swapped. Not a 3rd world problem at all. We would definitely visit again. The food really was good.

Received a warm welcome from the staff as soon as we walked in. We enjoyed the Christmas batches. One with Turkey and one with Beef. Beautiful fresh bread and well filled sandwiches. Really polite and helpful staff. I would highly recommend a visit and will return again

We are locals and have always swerved this pub due to it's bad reputation. However we were aware of the new management and refurb so decided to venture in just for a lunchtime beer on a very hot day! We were very pleasantly suprised. The refurb is great and the food looked good and nothing was left on plates. We would have had lunch here but we had eaten a hearty breakfast at home. We will be back soon for food and to support our new favourite local!

Where do I begin - mid July and place was dead, but no surprise when I saw menu - not catering for normal everyday seasiders and local elderly residents/dog walkers. Prices steep for a lunchtime and no suitable quick, reasonably priced snacks such as toasties, sandwiches or everyday food. Kiosk across road doing roaring trade selling what public want at better prices. No atmosphere and deathly silence reminiscent of a library!! Toilets need repair and updating for such a key location - I really thought I might be in a parallel universe as this isn't norm surely for mid July ??!! Buck up and know your customers or it will be a long summer with no chance of survival in future

We called at the pub for a meal and ordered the battered fish, chips and mushy peas. At £15.95, it was a little pricey but being a sea side pub we were looking forward to a hearty seaside meal. The service was good and the order was promptly taken and food delivered in good time. However, when I saw the size of the portion we were really disappointed. The size of the battered fish was about 5” in length - my brothers fish was slightly longer. The portion of chips were meagre and the mushy peas, which were on the dry side, sat in a small dollop at the side of the plate. I know people will say we should have complained at the time but the pub was getting busy and time was against us, as we were due elsewhere shortly after. On reflection we should have sent our food back, got a refund and found a chip shop around the corner but we didn’t. We did make our feelings known when our plates were collected. Would I go here again - certainly not. If they are going to serve reduced sizes or ‘pensioner portions’ ( which is what it felt like ) then the prices need to reflect this.

Not impressed with meal at all. Sausage was hard to cut and chewy. Last orders called just after 8 p.m. we're turning people away by 8. It was empty. Another customer Complained about pie. Toilets a lot to be desired. Thurs 29th june 7 pm.

Good but could have been better! This is. Seafront pub recently reopened with new owners and they re trying their best. It’s mainly for tourists and there was a good mix of people including children and dogs. The food is good, not expensive nd there is a decent choice of drinks

We visited here on Sunday 28th May. 6 of us and the dog. We messaged in advance to ask if the F1 would be shown and they said no problem, they will arrange this for us. We stayed for food and had a mixture of Sunday roast and food from the menu. The food was pub grub but really nice and well presented. We had desserts (fudge cake and Eton mess) which were fabulous!! The staff were amazing! Really friendly and so accommodating. We would definitely recommend calling in, we had a great few hours in here!

Dropped in here as the café next door was full! Best decision The staff and food was great 👍. Helpful and quick. Straight forward no nonsense food, well cooked and presented.

Glad that we dropped in for Sunday lunch. Very quiet at first, recently reopened. Chose the Golden Roast for over 55s. It may have been a smaller plate but the lunch was far more than we could eat. Lovely beef, gravy with plenty of vegetables. Glad we checked it out. On leaving there were several groups arriving with dogs. If you don't like dogs around when you eat, check this out.

Quite literally s*** the toilets are vile… it’s like they haven’t even made an effort to even clean them it’s like wading through a sewerage… no point using a toilet the floor seems like it’s the place to go here!! It’s gone DOWWWNNNN hill massively! Bring back the other managers!! No friendly faces of the locals in here… looks like it’s just the new managers friends…. Not very welcoming, super clicky… if you don’t know them… don’t bother going 🙄

I came in on Sunday I didn’t have a booking but they accommodated me anyway, I had the roast trio and a Welsh rarebit starter, it was only £13.50 which I thought was quite affordable. Beef was nicely cooked and pink (to my liking) chicken was juicy and the gammon was delicious. Only criticism was that the toilets were a little bit grim, but I’m told that this has always been an issue, the staff seem excited about their jobs, friendly and are enfused to talk about new plans and changes incoming which is refreshing to see.

Ordered food here wich was all OK, my husband an I had haddock and chips, wich was nicely cooked, could have had much more chips on the plate, place was reasonably clean but the ladies toilets were broken and water gushing allunder my feet, there was an overwhelming smell of sewage, and if I had inspected the toilets before I ate there I would have left and not ordered food, they need to clean the place up disgusting in a place you have chosen to take your family for a day out and a bite to eat no excuse!!

So I guess the toilets should have sent us straight out the door to say they are rank would be an understatement the male toilet is thick with the stink of urine the ladies toilet I am told was wet and had an odor of rotten waste The food was nothing to write home about but to say it was lackluster and one member of our party who ordered the Lasagne commented that it had been in the microwave one hour longer than required due to its volcanic heat and third degree burns to his mouth …he was refunded You would think with such a prime location the owner/staff would “up there game” and put some passion into what they offer Not that bad but non return from us

New owners . Lovely staff, friendly and good at the job. The owner Anne who has taken over has made the place much better . Good was beautiful all home cooked . Chicken burger outstanding . Chips outstanding . Kids menu fantastic ! Well done .. will visit again .

Ordered a vegan burger and paid then was told there was no vegan buns left so she asked if I'd have sliced bread instead which I said was fine. The burger came and the guy said 'plastic burger'? Why anyone would say this I don't...

We called in to have a couple of drinks early afternoon. Staff on duty were polite but did not intervene when 2 young children and their mother arrived. The children were yelling at each other, throwing slush ice ar each other. The mother who was...

They are clearly short staffed, understandable in the current climate, and because of this made a complete mess of our party's food. We waited over an hour for fish and chips, the rest of our party having been served after about 45 minutes, and were...

Brilliant food! Don’t know what the other reviews are on about, it’s home cooked and you can tell! So obviously there is going to be a wait but was out within 20 minutes of ordering. Bar staff are brilliant, and very helpful! Doom Bar Ale...

Excellent. We called on the way to the caravan. I asked if they were serving meals. No problem I am the chef. Great meal Thanks Dickie 😀

No real ale despite pump clip saying there was. Ordered a cup of tea but kettle was broken - eventually arrived lukewarm. Avoid !

Dog friendly pub which we had been to last year for food. Returned again this year and it was awful. Bar staff are friendly but the starters were very well done and then an hour and a half wait for mains. Chicken burger very tough...

I have no idea what’s going on with the other one star reviews, this is one of the best places I have visited lately, it’s a classic pub with homemade food. You are going to have a bit of a wait on food, it’s homemade...

My wife and I decided to go into the Cayley Flyer for a drink and possibly a bite to eat. There where three staff on but the place stank like a public toilet. The tables had remnants of food on them and where in a...

We’ve been here a few times before and not had any issues but recently the place has nose dived, the staff were at first pleasant and friendly and the place was filling up. We went for food because it was good previously on this occasion...

As a local been in a few times for drinks etc so today tried to have a Sunday lunch. Ordered a roast with only carrots and expressed I cannot eat cauliflower as we waited 1 hour as asked if we could have an update on...

Could not believe the actual state of it when I ordered a pint of Stella after my walk along the prom… £5 for a pint of Stella, place was empty aswell. No wonder they seem to be quiet

Where do I start, arrived in pub got served a drink in a lipstick stained glass, we then waited an hour for sandwich ( served with wrong chips), I ordered a vegan burger not in stock, I also got served a risotto which was like...

Thought we’d support a local business and have Sunday lunch out and thought we’d try the Cayle as everywhere else was booked up! We walked straight in to an empty restaurant (red flag) and sat down, the bar staff served us who were friendly, we...

We came for Sunday lunch, no one else in the restaurant & we waited around an hour for our meal. It wasn’t great, mash potatoes tasted like they were frozen, and Yorkshire’s were rock solid. I asked for my sons meal to be dairy free...

Good service on arrival . However ordered drinks which were served in a dirty glass . Was then asked to pay the bill upfront which I found strange . Waited at least 40 mins for starter which was average to say the least . Then...

We should have been put off when we found The Cayley empty apart from one couple. Being New Year's Day, many others had the same idea as us and visit Rhos-on-sea because its a little gem of a place hidden on the North Wales coast....

Lovely food lovely hosts will definitely return 🍺🍷🍗 dog friendly also made very welcome see you soon 😊

Stayed in a camp site at Rhos on Sea, visited the Bar on our first night for a couple of beers, staff very welcoming, good music being played at the right volume and very good screens if your into your sports. Decided to return for...

Service was fine but the food was mediocre at best. 4 adults none of whom finished their meals. Pour quality ingredients, eg grey fishmongers. Waitress was delightful.

The food was nice enough but the service could have been so much better. Food orders came out all wrong which is quite bad when one of the group has allergens to deal with. We ordered carvery and were told that there was no chicken,...

Went on Saturday 24th July early evening, the place seemed to be run by kids. Although we got our drinks soon enough we waited almost an hour for two pizzas and all-day breakfast and it was only when we chased our food up did they...

We stopped at the Cayley flyer on our return from the caravan We have not been for a few years but it did not disappoint I started with Welsh rabbit and extra bacon (that was a meal on its own) Followed by Fish chips and...

Awful, grubby windowsills full of dust and dead flies. Food not great carbonara powdery and pasta not cooked, stringy steak I could go on but I think you will get the general idea, will not be back

I use to go the the Cayley in 80s and 90s and was the in place to be seen. But what has happen since? I went there Friday 23rd for a meal. My partner had a curry and I had the gammon. What came was...

Chips were over cooked and reheated. My husbands carbonara had lumps of dried white powder in its sauce. The gin and tonic fish was greasy and didn’t taste of anything. The servers are overworked and the customer service is unprofessional and the place is dirty....

Firstly I feel very sorry for the inexperienced staff left in this restaurant/pub with clearly no experience. The young girl who was the more senior was left to deal with the mess. Waited half hour for drinks then got few starters not all… then the...

We attended as a family with 3 young kids in July 2021. We had not booked a table but the place was quiet and we were told to sit anywhere. Firstly, the food took ages to arrive. As other reviewers have mentioned, the place was...

The staff seemed as if they were new to the job and weren’t very experienced in customer interaction, so we weren’t expecting the food to be much but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was really nice and all home made, we had roast dinner...

Avoid at all cost - we was informed that the food would be a 40 minute wait, which was okay. Food turned up earlier but was terrible. No bread with soup, pizza dough under cooked, no peas or sauce served with the fish and chip....

Booked for a meal in the evening 7pm very early on in the day to avoid disappointment as the weather has been great in wales and it’s half term with certain restrictions still in place. We were all looking forward to visiting, then I got...

Randomly decided to visit here with my elderly mother. Food was gorgeous, especially the home made chips. I had a bacon cheeseburger and my mother had hunters chicken. Best I have tasted for a long time. Friendly helpful polite staff and definitely value for money....

We live in North Wales so for a change we went out for the day to Rhos. We were walking on the opposite side of the road and a guy was putting up a banner for the pub, he overheard us mentioning chips and stated...

I was walking past with my wife and was fuming with what I saw. Owner openly sat on a table next to another couple and allowing them to drink. No one else is allowed to open their pubs so why are they? Just anything to...

Second time recently that i have called in for a drink and been absolutely freezing cold. I asked the barman why it was so cold and was told that the heating didnt work. We are in December in North wales and right opposite the sea....

Worst takeaway we have had for a very long time,the pizza was the thinest we had ever seen,burnt and cost over 9 pound,the garlic bread was the same,nachos had no flavour and all the cheese was under the nachos stuck to the packaging so when...

Had the best roast dinner in a long time good service and friendly staff covid-19 safe place good value

Just had one of the best Sunday dinners I think I've EVER had! Huge homemade Yorkshire pudding, really tender meats and amazing gravy. Thank you so much team cayley

Had lunch at location, menu had plenty of choice hard to choose!. Food was fresh and home cooked homemade chips and onion rings. All very nice

Brilliant service top quality food nicely spaced out do to covid rules value for money great selection on the menu as well some great views

Josh Edwards served our group all night and was a pleasant bar man and waiter. Remembered all our drinks and brought them promptly. Good communication and well mannered. Would return here completely based on his service

We called in for lunch we all had different items from the menu. The food was well cooked, really nice and a pleasant atmosphere. Would recommend, and will eat here again.

Megan asked me to name her in a review. So here it is Megan hope ya happy. Foods and drink are nice.

ordered on the app , starter's came fine, from there the only term I can use is s**t show . Mains came to the 2 men first the gammon without peas and egg , the steak without peas and the peppercorn sauce . Steak waa...

Came here whilst holidaying in Colwyn bay, we have walked past this place a few times and now really wished we had done so tonight. This place looks ok from the outside but more low rent boozer complete with stinking toilets and no way of...

Absolutely Fantastic! The friendliness, the service, the food and cleanliness were all exceptional. It was just so nice to be able to sit, chill out, eat good food and have superb service. Thank you so much and we can’t wait to visit again!!

Just eaten here before heading to Holyhead for the boat . Best chunky chips &chicken gougons I’ve had in a long time and very reasonable . All freshly cooked . My Husband had scampi and we both rate the quality excellent . Very friendly staff too .

We went in today for lunch, due to restrictions we had to eat in the courtyard but a great sunspot. For lunch we had a roast beef dinner, beef, Yorkshire pudding roast and mashed potato, stuffing and a separate bowl of vegetables, which was delicious and definitely one for a hungry day, a chicken burger which was chicken breast with salad and mayo in a bun served with fries, and a children's chicken goujons with peas and chunky chips really tasty with a crunchy batter. The staff and owners were friendly and gave a warm welcome. Overall a great value for money lunch and we will certainly be visiting again.

After a walk along the beach Fish & Chips is a good idea. It was a takeaway to eat across the road with a sea view. Excellent Cod, chips, mushy peas & superb tartare sauce. My partner had baked beans instead of mushy peas. Absolutely superb. Will definitely go back.

What friendly people. Lovely cod and chips takeaway meal after a walk in the area. We will definitely be back.

Just had 4 great meals from the Flyer.All priced at a fiver for ease.Nice sized portions.Delicious big fish.Attentive staff.Good social distancing system when ordering.Outdoor space while you wait.Piping hot freshly cooked food to order.Best burger daughter had for a while.Cheap cans and fruit shoots.Plastic cutlery, napkins and condiments in bag. 10 out of 10 would recommend.Keep it up Cayley Flyer.

Saw this advertised on Facebook and decided to give it a go and support local businesses. Excellent service, food nice and hot, even after travelling home. We both had fish and chips, it was lovely and plenty of it. Would definitely recommend and will be back for another take away.

Had a family walk along the coast and came across this lovely bar/restaurant, hayden the bar/staff member was amazing, polite and so good with our little one and made us feel really welcome, 10/10

Yet another fabulous Sunday lunch. Meat cooked lovely, vegetables nice and chunky. The gravy could be sold by the quart !Carvery served by Jack, nice pint of Daytime served by lovely bar team. Thanks to all,

8 of us for lunch including 1 pescatarian, 1 vegetarian and 1 person with allergies. Despite being short staffed in the kitchen they were so kind and accommodating. The food took a little while longer because of the staffing issues but it was definitely worth the wait! I had the pork and leek sausages with mash. Really tasty and well cooked. Everyone was happy except the vegetarian who, though she enjoyed the chips, was hoping for a better selection of vegetarian dishes.As mine is probably one of the most difficult families to please, well done. We all left feeling that we had had a good time. Thank you.(We didn't bring my lactose intolerant sister but maybe next time!)

Great fun for New Years!! Very reasonable priced and good fireworks, friendly locals! Fun music. Clean toilets

I visited this pub/restaurant today at around 4:30 with my wife and mother-in-law. The place at this time was relatively empty and certainly nobody eating. We entered with some trepidation due to lack of diners. The place was pleasant and well lit and the bar staff was very friendly. The menu was not extensive but I see this as a good thing. The prices were more than reasonable. When the food arrived it was well presented and hot. The portions were also more than enough! I had pie of the day which was excellent and lots of meat and mushroom filling. My wife had the nut roast with associated veg etc which was also excellent and my mother in law had the small Haddock Fillet with Onion Rings. All meals were polished off and complements to the chef. I have written a rather long winded review as the restaurant is under new management and feel that a new slate is the right thing to do. We will certainly return, with guests!

Came with friends for Xmas dinner.Lovely food.Staff are really friendly and helpful.Compliments to the chef.

Popped in here today with our two dogs. Genuinely dog friendly pub with friendly staff. We ordered food and it was served pretty quickly and was tasty and well cooked

Third visit for Sunday lunch, another lovely meal. The roast beef was spot on, the veg cooked to perfection. The staff were welcoming, friendly and polite. An enjoyable lunch with a nice pint of ale.

Shame that what is actually nice food is let down by a really poor and nasty wine selection (think cheap vinegar and you’re close) and sloppy and lazy staff,

Great food carvery excellent great value for money staff superb will definitely come again thank you...

On Thursday last following our "Purple for Polio" event on the prom we crossed the road to the Cayley Flyer and enjoyed an excellent meal, thanks to Becky and her staff for the warm welcome and excellent service

Previous reviews almost put us off but I’m glad we walked through the door. This place has great potential but just needed more people in there to create more atmosphere.

We ordered a beef and onion ciabatta which was really really nice and good value too. Sadly the lite bites were a terrible let down though!!

I visited a while ago and found it rather disappointing and not suited to the area in which it is located . However there is new management in place and the establishment has improved considerably .

If this place was painted in a light colour, God replace those carpets, it could become really nice.

Only ever sat outside this pub for a drink as we are locals but it never seemed that friendly inside. Always packed when football was on the TVs. Didn't look as if it had had a refurb 2 years ago.

We had a lovely walk along the prom and thought it would be nice to call for a drink.

Not a bad place for a night out. but seems to have been getting less busy.. and went to Rhos on fri and it was closed/ apparently for quite a while? Never seen any kick offs and the staff are reasonable.

We was welcomed when we arrived. The chef made us a fish burger which is a must have of his own making. At the rear is a beer garden which is sheltered.

After a walk along the Cayley Prom it's a good idea to get refreshed so I decided to visit the Cayley Flyer. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not very busy at all but everyone there was friendly and welcoming.

we arrived and were given a very warm welcome

Busy pub which can be noisy on certain nights. Good quiz on Monday night. Cavery food which seems popular although I haven’t eaten here. I don’t think that the style of the pub fits the type of small town where it is located.

I think 2 stars is more than fair based on the poor customer service we experienced. 1 star for the two lovely bar staff who originally served us and the other for the fact that not all of the food that arrived was poor. Nine of us ordered food at 6.40. At 7.00 7 complete orders and one half order arrived. One was missing. Over the next 30 minutes we asked 3 times for the remainder of the order, each time being told it was on it's way. In the end we shared our food with my hungry niece and my brother ate his gammon without the egg. My brother in law sat eating olives with salmon whilst spitting out the stones. At 7.35 we needed to head off on a 3 hour drive home so requested the onion rings be boxed to go. At 7.45 they arrived dripping in oil and a £4.50 refund with apologies. We asked for the manager. At 7.50 no sign of manager. At 7.55 got up again to ask for manger. What followed was us being accused of being at fault for eating the food and still complaining after we had been refunded £4.50!! The manager then went on to include members of the public in the argument to prove her point. Was handed £5.00 extra by the Co manager and left whilst being given nasty stares by the locals and the manager. Horrible horrible experience.

Myself and my wife have had a table reserved for many years on a Sunday for a carvery at The Cayley Flyer. The food as always been to a high standard, always hot and handled professionally with welcoming staff. However, over the last 2 weeks, there seems to have been a change in staff and a change in food quality and standards. The food for the last 2 weeks has been cold and during the first week, the majority of food had been sat in public view for 45 minutes while they cooked the meat; following a number of complaints from customers, the staff explained there had been technical issues and were running behind - we gave them the benefit of the doubt as they appeared to be new staff.

Came for Sunday lunch today with my family Food was great Had a great choice of meats and veg Definitely will be coming back again Highly recommend

I have come to Wales to see family so we went to go for a meal at this pub that got recommended to us. me and other family ordered fish and chips. when they came they were cold and were hard to cut through also the peas in the bowl had water inside the bowl we got a replacement meal then we wanted a sweet the sweet menu was ice cream and lemon cheesecake the variety needs improving i would not recommend this place to anyone !!!!

Viited on Sunday for the cavery with the family, food was delicious and the service couldn't of been any better. The food was enjoyed by all the family and was really well priced to.

It's a pretty standard feedbagpub. Good service, food not bad- thought my steak was nearer well done than medium rare. No cask ale, sadly, but tolerable lager. Staff helpful. It's nothing special, but it's decent value and perfectly serviceable.

had a nice meal here,nicely cooked and presented,fair price.do not sit in the restaurant when there is a footie match on in bar,screen next to restaurant volume right up,not good for a quiet meal.if you are a sports fan,great place to be. Ian Brice

Recommended to go for the Cayley for a Carvery. Well what a Let Down it was. Cold Food, Food not covered, Burn't Roasties, Soggy Yorkshire Puddings. Bottle of Wine Ordered, Warm it was. And didn't even have Proper Wine Glasses to Share. Never Again
