The Cottage Loaf in Conwy

Have tried to book a table at this pub before numerous of our visits to Llandudno over the past few years & it was always booked up ! This time my husband and I were visiting in November, out of season, & we finally managed to get a table booked before our stay !!! It was worth the wait & we could see why it's so popular. The pub is attractively decorated like a traditional country pub, with open fires, it looks small from the outside but has been extended & for the summer there is plenty of outdoor seating out front & in a courtyard. The staff were excellent, very efficient & pleasant. The menu had plenty of choice, mostly traditional British dishes but some with a twist. My husband really enjoyed his gammon chop with excellent chips, fried egg, cooked pineapple & peas. My steak & ale pie was full of tender meat, I swapped the mash for chips & the broccoli for peas with no problems, also I had carrots & gravy & it was wholesome & filling. The only thing that wasn't spot on was the pie pastry, it was rather soggy & nondescript, however the pie filling was so good it didn't matter. We stayed in the pub for another drink after our meal, it was a pleasant place to stay on a November evening. The Cottage Loaf prices aren't cheap but we felt it was worth it for an enjoyable, filling meal. We were glad to finally try the pub & we would definitely visit again, we would advise people to book it several weeks before their visit to Llandudno to ensure a table, especially in the summer, you can book online.

Went today 17/11/24 had 2 turkey and one shoulder of lamb lunches ,all came plated up with vegetables and Yorkshire pudding on the plate , bit like a staff canteen .had to send 2 meals back as basically they were only lukewarm ,the replaced meals were No better ,the roast potatoes were still cold inside ,,the meat was placed on top of purred Swede or similar, half a carrot ,3 roast potatoes and a Small portion of shredded cabbage ,at £18.95 and£20.95 no way appetising or value for money, surely it's not too difficult to serve HOT food and have vegetables served Separately , won't be returning

Pleasant welcome. Good choice of food, well presented. Good atmosphere. Pub style restaurant. Staff very friendly and efficient. Booking advisable.

Buena comida. Teníamos cóctel de gambas y paté para empezar y el vientre de cerdo y cordero para nuestra red. Todo parecía recién cocinado y era muy sabroso. Muy ocupado, pero el servicio era eficiente y amable. No es la comida bub más barata, pero la calidad valió la pena.

Magnífico Domingo Asado Llegaron sin reserva previa y se sentaron después de una corta espera. Era claramente una opción popular para los lugareños también. Opté por un plato más pequeño cena asada que era aproximadamente £ 5 más barato, pero no stint en la cantidad y me hubiera encantado pagar por un plato principal completo. Absolutamente delicioso asado de cordero. Increíble salsa y patatas asadas! Vale la pena. 5 estrellas

Great family meal here. Food and service fantastic 😁

Absolutely the best pub , food amazing, beer amazing, staff amazing, atmosphere about the place, amazing, just amazing.

We hadn't booked (which i highly recommend!!) but as a party of 2, we were was offered a place in the end of a reserved table...giving Us 1.5hr , plenty of time for a 2 course meal ... The service was very efficient and yet friendly....sometimes that's lost. We had a really good meal...prices were London prices (a local said it was posh but we didn't think so...) Would have gone again but didn't fit in with our schedule...

Really nice pub, food was lovely, staff friendly and the place was cosy. Would recommend and would go again.

Really nice pub food was excellent staff friendly

Lovely bustling pub with a small but decent selection of proper beers and great food menu. Staff, and one person in particular were efficient, attentive and kind. Will certainly return the next time we're in Llandudno.

Nice warm place with great food and good selection of beers and ales great staff and service

A great pub restaurant, the fish pie was excellent! Plus, great selection of beers and cider, if you can try to book, it's still better.

Popped in for drink , very busy, no problem getting served though, good amount of seating areas, nice warm relaxed atmosphere, reasonably priced too

Arrived with no booking but they accomodated us gracefully and found us a table in minutes, the food was lovely & so were the staff. Would highly recommend.

Very nice place the food was delicious 😋

We were really looking forward to eating here as I'd read that it was dog friendly. Unfortunately we didn't eat here as it was late in the day and the temperature was dropping. This establishment doesn't allow dogs inside. We just had a drink outside which is a pleasant environment.

Amazing food, what a hidden gem this place is. The staff were extremely friendly and the food outstanding. Everything arrived so quick, definitely worth a visit if your in the area! 👏

Took a while to get seated but to be fare they were busy and we hadn't booked .meal was okay would call again ,just seemed to busy to make it special.

Okay, so not only was our meal delicious and perfectly cooked, but the staff here go above and beyond! We had a table booked for 7 of us for my friend's birthday. In my infinite wisdom, I had decided to make a chocolate cake with cream cheese & Bailey's frosting. Icing cakes is not a skill I have at the best of times. By the time I had got to Llandudno, the icing had pooled off the side of the cake and leaked out of the cake box. This is where the Cottage Loaf superheroes stepped in. They quickly put the cake in their freezer, then when it came to the time to serve it, they transferred it to one of their plates and made it look fairly decent again! They also washed up my cake box because it was smothered in gooey frosting. I can't thank them enough. They turned what could have been a birthday cake disaster into a proper celebration. They even sourced a candle from somewhere to make it more special. I will definitely be going back, but will rely on their desserts next time rather than trying to make my own. Cannot recommend this restaurant / pub enough. Oh, and considering the quality of the food, the meal was reasonably priced too. An absolute treasure of a place in the heart of Llandudno. Parking is easy too. PS - they do a wide range of alcohol-free drinks which is a massive bonus if you are a driver like me.

beautiful place,meals are lovely

Great food, great service. Staff attentive. Recommended. Thatchers cider on draught was lovely.

Lovely find in a side street just off the front of Llandudno. Great looking menu and all the food passing my table looked lovely. Service was efficient and friendly. A popular place due to how full and busy it was on a Monday night in October when I visited. Would recommend

The food was excellent the service was good had to order at the bar. We had our dogs so had to sit outside. Luckily it was a mild night

Loved it! After a full day of exploring, this really hit the spot for some dinner. The curried sweet potato soup, pork belly and all the sides were perfect. Definitely a winner.

Great pub/restaurant. Fantastic food, wonderful staff and lovely atmosphere.

Attractive frontage. Lovely cozy bar and outdoor spaces. Beautiful restaurant and food. Great service. A real gem

The service in this establishment is second to none. I would highly recommend this as a place to eat , the food is excellent, especially the desserts

I had a chicken wrap with salad and Hubby had pork belly my dish was very poor Hubby enjoyed his.The tiramisu was lovely though

Fantastic food and staff, particularly the lady assistant manager with the dark hair, she was great and worked extremely hard to make sure our golf party went smoothly.

Absolutely outstanding food legendary in fact.We ordered steak and ale pie with mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots. Was the best pie we have ever had and that's saying a lot as we all live in Yorkshire. Staff extremely friendly, lovely pub, plenty of room seating outside and dog friendly Would highly recommend.

The best lamb roast I’ve ever had, the meat just fell apart absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic everyone was very welcoming and great atmosphere. I believe you normally should book as it gets busy but luckily they fitted us in. Thanks

We enjoyed a lovely meal here last Sunday. The food was delicious and plentiful. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. A biggie for me is that The Cottage Loaf do not allow dogs inside. So refreshing. I was able to relax and enjoy my meal without constantly scanning the pub for animals. Well done Cottage Loaf. Long may that continue!

Food seriously over priced the burger I had was nice but that's all not worth the money A lovely place

First time visit, earlier this week (Monday). We popped in for lunch whilst in the area. We hadn't booked, but thankfully, they had a spare table for us. I had the Chilli Beef Frankfurter off the "Oktoberfest" menu, which I thoroughly enjoyed and my partner had the Argentinian King Prawn Risotto which she also couldn't fault. Service was professional and we had a very pleasant experience from start to finish. We'll definitely return next time we're in Llandudno. Cheers guys 👍

Always come here when in Llandudno. Lovely food, excellent staff and a great ambiance.

What a fantastic pub, beer choice is great and weekend evening entertainment is top draw

Walked in with my dog, greeted with a curt "No dogs allowed in the pub" such a shame as it looked like a nice place. Sitting at the back of the town's Weatherspoons, who also have this stupid policy, you think they would be more welcoming. Would not recommend and won't be going again.

Stumbled upon this place one rainy Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a roast beef dinner

Gem of a place. The food we had for a late lunch was superb. Cream of cauliflower and cheddar soup with croutons was superb. in fact best soup I've ever had. Excellent place.

Absolutely fantastic food we had lamb which was cooked to perfection so many flavours highly recommend the staff all fantastic the waitress was so nice and polite

Had the fish and chips. A massive portion!

Our 7th or 8t visit here. We absolutely love the place. Friendly pub which is very welcoming but be advised, if you want to eat you are best booking because it is so popular. We had a fantastic evening meal and food was amazing as always. Staff very friendly and helpful. We look forward to returning again in the near future. Thank you once again.

Decided to give this place a try as we've moved to North Wales a couple of months ago and we're exploring where to eat out. The outside is done very nicely with a mox of covered and uncovered tables. Inside it gives the feel of a proper oldy-worldy pub with lots of choice of draft beers, ales and ciders. We decided to have the "devilled" whitebate and Whipped feta to start. The devilled element was just a bit of chilli powder bit the little fishes themselves were delightful, nice and crispy and a smooth tartar sauce to go with- the feta was incredible and served with warm flatbread. For mains the roast turkey was brilliant, moist, well cooked and the yorkshire and veg were all well done- the same with the beef. The gravy was outstanding, just enough for me but the wife perhaps would like a little more. The staff were all very friendly and service was efficient yet not over bearing. Definitely recommend this place for a Sunday dinner. They do also run the main menu alongside which also looked great! Keep it up!

I reserved a table for 2, felt a bit dark and lacked lighting. The menu had no chicken or steak, I asked why and it was informed that they had complaints the steak was chewy. I had a bacon chop which isn’t really something I would normally choose, it didn’t blow me away, chips were tasty but I was disappointed. I wouldn’t return unless the menu had some items added to it.

Absolutely fantastic wonderful place , go and see for yourselves.

Only ever had drinks here before, so booked a family meal. One of the party was in a wheelchair and we couldn’t access the original table but the staff were very accommodating and moved us to different table. Great food and drinks, my only fault is no dogs inside.

This was a lovely old pub also in Llandudno and busy when we went there but they found us a table! Staff were friendly and helpful and quick too take order! The food was again delicious and plentiful and homemade! My husband had the pie which was again homemade and large! I had the Gammon which was delicious and large!!

Love this place,great food in lovely relaxed atmosphere. Service is excellent.

Came with family on Friday night and must say food was amazing and so were the staff. Will definitely be returning next year

Oh so lovely here. Friendly staff. Good food and drinks not to bad either.

Lovely food Very welcoming staff Highly Recommend and will be back November Thanks

Excellent food,and comfortable clean eating area staff very pleasant and helpful

Absolutely superb, staff were really obliging, venue was lovely and food amazing! We ended up going the three nights we stayed in Llandudno!

me and my partner stayed in llandudno from 1st September to 8th September 2024 we came accross this lovely looking pub off the main street food was lovely we sat outside to dine as we had our little dog Lexi with us she was not allowed inside.The conwy steak and ale pie was amazing would recommend.

Called in for lunch with my elderly mother & my son, excellent menu to choose from, including light menu which is is very suitable for my mum who is 94 years old, the only reason I gave 4 stars, was the toilet facilities, we asked were the toilets where, and the lady told us, my mum walks with a frame, she had to go backwards into the toilet as they are very small, no disabled toilets available.

This place stands out in Llandudno for it's friendly service and great pub food! 😁

A beautiful Pub. We will be back Llandudno just to re visit the Cottage Loaf! 👌

A great little place hidden off the main tourist streets. We stopped off for a refreshing drink after a hike up the Orme, then came back a few hours later for some much needed lunch. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is as expected and lovely.

This place is unbelievable! The food is 10/10 tasty, great portions and an affordable price, dinner for my husband and I plus 3 children with drinks was just over £100! Service was impeccable, couldn't do more for us and we had an amazing visit. Thankyou so much!

Best place to eat in Llandudno, only complaint was we were too full to move after! Bit noisy for us on this occasion but hey it's a pub, so it's to be expected. Always recommend booking in advance

Absolutely fantastic food and not dear 😋😋💚💚💚

Visited last night with my sister and could not fault anything. Although fully booked we were able to sit in the bar area. The food was excellent - I have never seen a pie so crammed with tasty meat! The lamb my sister had was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and the staff always smiling and helpful! I first came here a few years ago - I certainly won’t leave it so long for my next visit. Thank you 👌🏻

Food bit pricey but you get what you pay for and well worth it for sunday lunch tried on a few occasions when on hols to get. Pre booked this time. Would def go again.

A very nice friendly atmosphere. Sean on the bar was very knowledgeable regarding the local ales and where's best to frequent late at night prices very high.

Great food, great ale, and excellent staff. Thank you for fitting us in on a busy day.

Best british pub food I have had in a while, made my day. Will definitely return for the quality food.

Visited here on Thurs 29th August and it was a very pleasant experience lovely pub a must go in Llandudno outside area beautiful in sunshine and inside lovely

Out of this world, the food is stunning, and staff could not be more helpful. Even fully booked they were allowing walk ins if it was possible in between bookings. 1st night here we booked a meal and went in every day while there even if it was just for a drink in the cosy oldy worldy surroundings. Could not ask for more brilliant job your all doing.

We went on a Sunday. The website said the main menu was daily.... when we arrived it was a very limited Sunday menu. We had to opt for the Sunday lunch.... the lamb was tough and tasteless... the roast potatoes were like a brick.. the "parsnip" mash was like water. ..Yorkshire puddings were tough and cold.... all in all a very disappointing meal. The waitress snarled at me when I commented on the mash... however the manager claimed they had had no complaints all day but waived the cost of the meal.... would not return.

Had to cancel booking due to family emergency but because it was less than 2 hours notification we still got charged £20 !!!! Absolute disgrace!!!!!!! Never again shall we set foot in there Again!!!!

Well worth a visit, usually all fair a meat when in Llandudno.

Some of the best food I've ever had, stunning 😍

Love it here. The food is lovely

Had a wonderful experience! The staff is polite, attentive and quick. I ordered steak and it was the best one I have ever had in all of UK! Portion size is more than sufficient and the price is just right.

The staff were attentive without being intrusive, the service was slick, and the food (Sunday roast in my case) was excellent. If I'm back in the Llandudno area, I'll definitely be going back.

Always pop in when in the area, this time even though I thought I booked I didn't but they were still able to squeeze me in, will be returning soon

A cracking little (although its not really that little) place. Arrived without a booking and they (after a short wait) pulled a table out of the bag and we were seated in no time. The food was great and will surely call again if in the area.

Lovely spot for a drink. Didn’t eat, but saw some meals being served and they looked really lovely.

Only had beers of which there was a top local range. Food looked good

Lovely old gastro pub easy to find as it's behind the big Wetherspoons. Choice of real ales. Superb food, not cheap, but well worth it. Steak and ale pie to die for with real hand cut chips. The lemon sole with brown shrimps on a bed of small potatoes and spinach looked amazing and, I'm told, tasted as good as it looked. Definitely a must visit whenever we visit Llandudno.

Beautiful place, food looked very nice, just found drinks very expensive.

A hidden gem in the streets of Llandudno, really good food, drinks, atmosphere & service!

Was an hour late and still made room for us brilliant staff and amazing food Brilliant

Really good for a meal ,we went for five thirty sitting and very busy then ,good menu ,wood go back

Delicious food, lovely fresh salad. I chose a smoked salmon and prawn cocktail starter followed by bakewell tart and custard. Friendly efficient service. We sat outside. There were many tables inside and out and the venue was very popular.

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food! I am still thinking about my ale pie and sticky toffee pudding. If you’re in Llandudno, you absolutely must eat here! I’d make a reservation - it was quite busy.

Thanks to the team for squeezing us in on a busy Wednesday evening between bookings and being accommodating to us. Very friendly staff especially the manageress. Lovely old pub, a couple of craft keg lines and four cask ales amongst the usual lagers. Steak pie was excellent, packed with meat and a good slice with nice veg including a lovely roasted carrot and the triple cooked chips were superb. £18.95 for pie so it is higher than perhaps some other local eateries but worth it as it isn't a typical tourist trap. Would advise to book especially in Summer.

EXCELLENTLY SERVICE FOLLOWED BY AN EXCELLENTLY MEAL. NOT MY FIRST VISIT AND WON'T BE MY LAST. 10/10. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GIVE IT A TRY.

A delicious meal yesterday. Came with three family members,

Lovely pub. Old world atmosphere, good service and nice beer.

Never tried the food but looked tasty

4.7 A great pub which has retained its old fashioned charm and still has drinking tables as well as dining options. We went with a family party and everyone was pleased with the food. Top end, home made, pub grub with the usual suspects of fish and chips, pie, steaks etc but with some interesting seasonal choices as well. It is dog friendly and has lots of outside seating if the weather allows. Great pub

Visited twice for dinner and on both occasions the food and service was excellent

Dog friendly outside seating and lovely food - good range of options on the menu

Quality cuisine. Very good welcome Typical atmosphere I recommend

It's always been a great pub with good quality food.

Great place, great food, great beer and fab service. A bit of a classic gem in a sea of retro hotels. Recommended!

What a lovely place. The food was delicious very happy with my meal.

Ate here last night . Had the conway pie and mash . I normally hate mash but this meal was amazing . Could not fault the food or service . Waitress was ver nice and polite . Great place to eat . Will defo be coming back .
