The Cricket Pavilion Tea Room & Cafe in Gwynedd

Had the afternoon tea for 2 as a cost of £25 Cannot fault the quality of the food - however was not expecting Micro Portions. When the food arrived I thought it was for one person and not two!!! Portions should be more generous for the price!!

Unfortunately my visit to the Bangor Cricket Club was for a wake. But that was the best food I've ever had at a wake. A large selection of tasty and well presented food. Highly recommended, don't wait for a wake before you visit!

We visit The Cricket Pavilion regularly, this visit was for the delicious breakfast which is a favourite of ours. Full Welsh / English , everything cooked to perfection as usual and plenty of freshly baked toast and butter and speciality tea or coffee. The friendly , helpful staff are always on hand to make sure all is well. Next time we are going to have the highly recommended afternoon tea , have seen it served at and it certainly looks tempting, dainty sandwiches ,cakes and sones, Perfect!The menu board of freshly cooked meals also looked very inviting, we will be back very soon for sure!

Just arrived home after eating afternoon tea at this establishment and feeling disappointed. We were in a party of 12 ladies who were looking forward to a nice tea after hearing favourable results. Every one of the ladies were disappionted with the meagre offerings - bitesize sandwiches and pieces of cake that you measured in mm all loaded together on a cakestand. This is definitely not the standard that we expected and felt it was a ripoff at £12.50 a head

Really inviting place with friendly staff. As a family with 9 year old twin boys we had afternoon tea and the selection provided was perfect! Great value and not rushed.

This was my second visit as I was impressed by the previous afternoon tea a few months ago. How things have changed! Four of us had the afternoon tea to the cost of £50 between us, although the tiny portions of food were tasty and fresh was not worth the money this time. The scones were tiny this time, and although we were offered more tea or coffee, were not offered any more food like before, very disappointing!

Wonderful lunch with good friends... Great service and friendly staff... Best scones by far..... Can’t wait to return....

Unfortunate circumstance. But this place had catered for a funeral buffet recently and it did not dissapoint. Endless tea drinking and plenty of sandwhiches and cakes to go around. Thank you.

I love this place! Fantastic, homemade food and lovely people too. My husband requested an extra plate of sandwiches which were brought at no extra cost - excellent value for money

Friendly staff. Very busy there as always. 2cheese sandwiches and 2 coke's over £17 which is a bit steep.

I was treated to a lovely buffet from the Cricket Pavilion to mark my retirement from work. The fresh bread was absolutely fabulous (too good, I couldn't resist having several hunks), the meats varied and the quiche and salads very tasty. The Victoria sponge was huge - and agin, very hard to resist! Thank you to you all for the great and unexpected lunch.

Very nice food and service, pleasant venue, but a little dated. However this did not distract from a very pleasant visit, I can recommend it.

Would recommend the home made chicken curry - enjoyed by all dults and children. Great friendly service very family friendly.

I haeaten here on several occasions, as a couple, with friends and at 2 special events. The food has always been superb and plenty of it. Nothing is too much trouble and all dietary requirements have been met. A large group of us went in the summer and were so impressed we immediately booked to have a Christmas meal there as well.

Visited for a cuppa and cake with friend - lovely setting, one of the cakes was slightly burnt on the outside which was disappointing.

Absolutely love this place! Have been a few times breakfast, afternoon tea, private function. Each time was spot on. I adore the deco it’s so unique I will most definitely be back I tell everyone about the place!

Absolutely lovely place, don’t be put off by location (on the outskirts and just at the beginning of the industrial estate).

I enjoyed a very delicious afternoon tea with my mum--in-law - there was no special occasion, we simply enjoy each other's company. I did wonder where she was taking me as she drove onto the industrial estate opposite Screwfix - but do not be fooled by the nondescript exterior. What lies inside the Pavilion is a thriving, beautifully presented, slightly quaint tea room full of atmosphere and serving delicious home-cooked food. It was very busy so we did have to wait a short while, but we weren't in any hurry so it wasn't a problem. Our afternoon tea arrived in 2 tasty tiers - a selection of fresh, soft sandwiches and mini sausage rolls, plus a selection of cakes - moist chocolate brownies, mini lemon posset tarts, meringues and fresh scones with jam and cream. The portion sizes are perfect - just big enough without being overfacing. There was more on offer if we wanted it, but we were nicely content. I can only urge you to book a table and see for yourself. Wonderful.

Came for lunch and had good food (avocado and bacon sandwich- perhaps a bit pricey at over £8) but the highlight was the cakes which were lovely!

Came for my birthday. Very lovely afternoon tea. Lots of choice and plenty of it. Very attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The sausage roll was fantastic. Lovely and homemade food

Very attentive staff and a great menu. Don' expect posh this is shabby chic. Had the soup which was very tasty. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

This was my second time visiting the place for a meal (previously been to a wedding and a funeral here - food very good both times).

We called here after a morning of football and it was the perfect end to a wonderful day. We’ve been here before so we know how good the food and service is and on this occasion, it exceeded our expectations. The cricketers platter was sublime, so fresh and original, nothing like the bland platters you get in the various named restaurants that scatter the North Wales coast. And as for the soup, it was probably the tastiest I’ve ever had! Everything about our visit was perfect.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Going in the first time was quite a surprise because the decor is shabby chic. I wasn't expecting that. I'm going back tomorrow.

Ive had many lunches and teas in the cafe. Its so clean, good choice of food all made fresh and a childrens menu available. A very friendly and polite staff. Nothing is a problem for them. They accommodate big groups as well. We had christmas lunch there in a group of at least 50 and the 3 course meal was beautiful. You must try it for yourself as I've done many times since they opened.

First visit here for afternoon tea with my daughter it was very busy we went about 1.30 arrived early but was no problem were shown to our table lovely atmosphere lots of families in enjoying their lunch we sat by a window sun shining in and a lovely view

Tired my son and I wandered in. Tables were being laid up so I asked if they were closed. They were! However, we were immediately offered coffee tea and cakes. It was wonderful. The toasted tea cake and the moist Christmas cake all homemade and really good tea in a pot with cups and saucers. When we went to pay they treated us to the tea and coffee. I will definitely be back and will recommend them to my visitors in my holiday cottages.

Visited for a family function, fab spread of really delicious sandwiches and cakes. A very relaxed place, with a vast choice of teas. I will definitely be visiting again.

visited for mid week lunch and were so glad that we did. There was a nice selection of food and drinks, we were spoilt for choice! We opted for the chowder and garlic mushrooms, both were delicious! Will definitely visit again.

Went with friends after a visit to Castell Penrhyn, best meal I’ve had in years. Excellent service, lovely decor, tasty and hot food. We ordered the soup, best I’ve ever had! Prices good as well but they were closing because of a funeral tea at about 3 .00 pm. I suspect this happens fairly often.

Meet a friend here for a catch up. We arrived at half 11 and I was glad we didn’t arrange for later as it got so so busy all lunch time! Hardly surprising though, it was. Lovely! The decor was really nice. I had a very large slice of chocolate orange cake (yummy). My much healthier friend has pea and ham soup which she said was really nice. Will visit again to sample more cakes!

Having heard good things, we stopped for lunch with two kids. Meals were lovely, my only very minor criticism was that the plaice goujon sandwich is on bog standard brown bread, rather than something a bit fancier. Just me being fussy though! Massive side salad with the meals, and crisps too. Service was great, very patient, friendly staff. Nicely decorated place with cute bunting etc. Would definitely go again - I want to try the afternoon tea!

I have been aware of this café for some time, passing it on my way to the tip, Howden's or Screwfix and assumed it was a greasy spoon. However today (Saturday) I went in while my husband queued and queued in Screwfix (never my favourite of establishments)

Once again, the Cricket Pavilion Tea Room and Cafe have delivered the perfect service. Wonderful venue and buffet to match. Excellent staff and very reasonable prices. All in all, I cannot recommend them enough should you have plans for a family get together or just to sample their wonderful home cooked food. We will be back for more in the very near future! Diolch o galon!

Nice menu and great staff. We had a very flavoursome haddock and prawn chowder although I'd have preferred a nice fish stock as the base rather than just a dish of cream. Tasty fish though and a nice little walnut bread loaf with it.

You will never just stumble across this place but if you are looking for it and you find yourself on an industrial estate opposite screwfix, be glad, your're there and inside you would think you were miles away. Quaintgarden themed decor , windows overlooing the cricket pitch. Staff very friendly but todaay were rushed off their feet so service was slow. I easily forgive them that though given the food. My son had chicken curry with rice and ( obviously) a side of chips. The chicken pecees were enormous and the portion size just about defeated him ( not bad as he has hollow legs) I had the sweet potato and carrot soup which was clearly home made and delicious. There are options for the food intolerant ( gluten free bread provided wht my soup and decaff soya milk cappucino on request)- just ask, they really are extremely freindly . THere is a selection of cakes and they now also sesrve a limited number of red boat icecream flavours. The pistachio was fab, not the usual pistachio flavouring but proper pistachio ice cream.

This is a lovely place for tea and cake, cooked breakfast or lunch. There's lots of parking and plenty of room inside with well spaced tables and pretty decor. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and I especially enjoy the breakfast options and the delicious cakes. I've been here a few times and would recommend it as a lovely cafe with tasty choices.

Nice afternoon sitting out in the sun here. Food was absolutely lovely. It is a limited menu but each item I've had has been brilliant so that's fine with me! Also reccomend the bacon, leek & potato soup- really creamy and lots of chunks of bacon! Reccomended.

We had a lovely afternoon here today-we all had afternoon tea served on china tableware.The food was delicious, fresh,plentiful and an excellent choice of sandwiches and cakes! We were supplied with plenty of tea to wash it down! Excellent value for money-great staff! Have been here several times for lunch but never for afternoon tea.Thank you.

We had a lovely afternoon here..not only was the food delicous but everyone made us very welcome..especially the two little girls who were part of our group. Fantastic!

Stopped in before a very long drive home. Cream tea was lovely. Ciabattia was also very good. Love the ambience, very popular place was quite busy .

Lovely service, really pleasant decor and very decent sized and full flavoured food that was lovely and filling! I'd definitely recommend.

Not in the place you'd expect to find a nice tea room, but once you're inside the only view is out over the green of the cricket pitch and beyond. The area has a very open, light, airy feel while still managing to be warm and cosy. The decor is a bit sweet and retro for my liking, but nice enough.

A great find on the outskirts of Bangor, Gwynedd worthy of a visit for lunch or afternoon tea. A pleasant tea room serving good food by helpful and generous staff. Puts most eating houses in Bangor to shame.

The afternoon tea here today was superb, we were given a lovely friendly greeting and were invited to choose any table. We had proper a proper china tea service and the food arrived on a traditional 3 tier stand, that sausage rolls and sandwiches were excellent , we polished them off very quickly and were then offered extra sandwiches and tea! After all this we still managed to get through the 2 plates of homemade cakes as well. All this in a unique setting with super friendly staff for only £10 each, will we be going back? Yes,absolutely, without doubt, you bet we will! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. (If you go for lunch try the lobster burger, it's melt in your mouth)

Wow fantastic! Had a lovely afternoon celebrating an 18th birthday with an afternoon tea. Food was nicely presented.staff were so lovely. Always get a nice welcome here. Highly recommended. Thank you girls. Hope to see you again soon 😀

Booked a table here for my friend's birthday. She's always wanted to have an afternoon tea somewhere, so I booked here on recommendation... And we weren't disappointed! We were greeted by lovely staff who showed us to our lovely table. We had proper little teacups and a tea pot, then they bought out our food on a lovely little stand. We had 4 different fillings in the triangle sandwiches, two leek and cheese Sausage roll things, coffee and walnut cake, lemon drizzle, meringue, lemon posset and a freshly baked scone with jam and clotted cream. It looked amazing. My only complaint if you can call it that was that I'd have preferred a couple of extra savoury things, but that's just me as I can't have too many sugary things. We also ordered a bottle of prosecco which we took outside to enjoy in the sun. I paid £10 each for the food and tea, and £14 for the prosseco... A bargain price to see the smile on my friend's face.

Fantastic leek, potato and bacon soup, a meal in itself, served with very tasty hot bread, can't resist it on every visit. Had delicious sandwiches and also the afternoon tea is very yummy. Plenty of tea top-ups too. Always very busy whenever we visit. Never want to leave, could quite happily sit there all day :)

First visit but definitely not the last. Lovely food,relaxing atmosphere,friendly staff.Will definitely be back to sample afternoon tea. Really lovely place !

Love it here! Come as often as I can. The food is always wonderful and tasty. And the service is always friendly and efficient.

Had an anjoyable evening at the cricket tea room, the room was pleasant, the service great the food satisfactory, the soup was very tasty.

Lovely welcome at the cricket pavilion today. Loved the personal touch of the chalkboard directing our group to our tables . Very good service , delicious afternoon tea and plenty of teapot top ups! Thank you for a lovely afternoon ladies. We will be back

We visited for a quick lunch last weeked and was pleasently supprised at how modern and lovely the place looked.

Went to a funeral today and the buffet was down the road from the cream at the cricket pavilion,what a lovely buffet everything home made plenty of choice's of sandwiches,home made scones, cakes,I don't like sausage rolls but the the ones they had were to die for they were beautiful,I asked what was in them and the lady said that she added onion chutney to the filling,they were absolutely gorgeous,highly recommended place to visit.

What a fab place this is. Vintage decor, plenty of tables and space, a relaxed vibe, with the most delicious homemade food at very reasonable prices.

My husband and I went here for lunch and it was lovely. They have nice views, great service and great food! The portion sizes were generous and the prices were good too. There was also a nice selection of homemade cakes.

Came here after doing the worlds fastest zipwire which is nearby. Had a gorgeous freshly cooked full Welsh breakfast. Had toast and jam to follow and the lovely thing was we ordered two rounds but they did not bring the second round until we had finished the first, so it was still lovely and fresh and warm. Only a small thing but a reflection of the care taken to make everything perfect. And it was. Lovely setting and service. Thank you.

We held my mum's funeral tea here, and it was perfect. The venue itself is welcoming and homely, with friendly, helpful staff who went the extra mile yesterday to make sure everything ran smoothly. The buffet was plentiful, with a variety of tasty sandwiches and cakes, and unlimited tea and coffee. My mum would have loved this place!

Lovely quaint cafe with beautiful decor. Serving amazing cakes and cream scones. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Had the afternoon tea, absolutely delicious, just the right amount and the cake sizes are just right too. Every bit of it was very yummy and the waitress said if we wanted more of anything just to let them know. The only tiny moan we have is that it seems a bit expensive at £10 per person for an afternoon tea, especially as the majority seem to charge around £7.50p per person. But saying that, we would definitely have it again, delicious :)

Had seen the signs when passing over the past months and when we were looking for somewhere for lunch today decided to try the cricket pavilion. Very tasty lunch and coffee and lovely surroundings.

Earlier in the year friends of mine retired and had a get together at this venue and it was just fantastic the food was lovely and plenty of it also plenty of room for parking

What a lovely peaceful place on the approach to Bangor, so parking no problem. Delicious sandwiches and lovely homemade cakes. Staff were very friendly and even shared a recipe with us to try at home. Highly recommended!

Had scone with clotted cream and jam, and a coffee... Lovely, priced reasonably and staff are great. Will be going back very soon

We decided to call in for lunch on the way back from two weeks' holiday in Anglesey and after having eaten out nearly almost every day on our holiday, this was by far the best meal! The food was fresh, beautifully presented and tasted divine. The service too was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble for the staff even though it was quite busy when we arrived. Would return for lunch every day if we could!

We needed a venue to have a cup of tea and a cake after my fathers funeral at the nearby crematorium. We chose this place because he loved cricket. It did not dissapoint. From the selection of tea, to the homemade sandwiches and cakes, it was absolutely lovely. The staff are great and the pavillion decked out like a beach hut. It was faultless. The price surprised me as well.

I've visited a few times in the past few weeks and each time has been wonderful. Have now had breakfast, lunch and tea there. Absolutely gorgeous food, service and ambience! I would highly recommend this lovely place.

I went to this lovely venue twice, first to have food and check it out for my late fathers funeral tea after his crematorium at bangor, north wales.

The Cricket Pavilion staff are very friendly and helpful and always welcoming .

A very warm welcome greets you when you arrive. Very clean, shabby chic. Polite and courteous staff Excellent service from start to finish Very tasty homemade food, delicious. Would highly recommend this lovely tearoom. Good value for service

Have been here a few times and loved it each time. Most recent trip was for a special occasion breakfast with husband and 2 kids. Emily and her team have done a fantastic job in changing the old cricket club in to a smart, beautifully decorated tea room.

My kids come here all the time with their grandparents and they always love it. We came for lunch on Saturday with the two youngest. My husband had the leek & potato soup which was served with warm roll and butter and I had the Turkey, bacon and stuffing sandwich, both were delicious and the staff even remembered that the kids like mayo with their buckets of skinny fries. Great food, welcoming staff, very clean and lovely decor.

Went with my mother and two children, place is beautifully decorated and quaint. Great choice in adults and children choices. Staff are so friendly and even toys for kids whilst they waited. Really enjoyed ourself and will be back again 👌

I had visited a few times and given the convenience of parking etc decided to book for my daughter's graduation. The table was ready for us when we arrived and as always the staff were friendly and attentive. The prosseco was lovely and everybody enjoyed the food they had ordered ( I must add that they were very willing to adapt the menu e.g cheddar cheese and ham instead of bacon and brie on a gibatta). Everything was lovely and I do not hesitate in rating a 5 star, highly recommended.

Have visited here a few times and am always very impressed. The decor is gorgeous, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the quality of the food on offer is well above the average tearoom. Homemade soup is delicious, welsh cakes are amazing and we love the afternoon tea.

A party of 9 of us turned up without booking yesterday for lunch. Without any fuss the lady started moving sofas and tables to fit us all round one table.. We were made to feel most welcome . The menu is shortish but still with the specials board there was enough to choose from. I had the crab sandwiches, which were delicious , the freshest tasting crab I have had for a long time and plenty of it. Others had chowder, Leek and potato soup, a mezze platter, crab and lobster burger and garlic mushrooms on toast. All were declared delicious. We a=shall be going again!!!

Called for some lunch, having previously only had coffee and cake. We were not disappointed. Had the most delicious leek, potato and bacon soup ever together with a warm roll. It was delicious and we will certainly be going back again when we are at our caravan in Bethel. The service was also excellent and friendly and all in all an absolute gem of a place.

A friend and I had a lovely relaxed lunch here a few weeks ago. Food and service was excellent. There was plenty of different choices on the menu. I have tried to take my husband there for lunch since but have failed which proves how popular this place is. A very unrushed afternoon in a lovely setting.

It was my first visit to this little gem today - a surprise birthday treat for a friend of mine. We had Afternoon Tea - and wow - all freshly, home made/baked sandwiches, cakes and even sausage rolls served by pleasant, friendly staff and the price was VERY reasonable too. We will be back. Diolch yn fawr.

I came here today with my mother. We ordered scones which were home made and warm. The jam and cream was also lovely. All the cakes are home made too. Very nice surroundings, garden and friendly service. They deserve to do well. I live locally and will defiantly be returning again soon !

Excellent location Plenty of parking Easy access...no steps Lovely welcome Fabulous afternoon tea party celebrating my auntie s 80 birthday Can't wait to return...

We have been to this place twice and it is one of those places where you feel comfortable and at easy. It is within the cricket grounds so it is peaceful and has a good view. Vicky and Emily are extremely helpful and willing to make sure customers are served well.

We enjoyed tea and homemade scones with clotted cream and jam which were lovely , it's a nice and relaxed atmosphere with nice comfy sofa's ,lovely staff , lovely food and always a lovely warm welcome

This place has a really lovely atmosphere, esp on a gorgeous sunny day, and the staff are lovely, the tea and cakes look nice, but unfortunately, the main meals are 1) overpriced

This was our 'Mother's Days treat , and it was Perfect !! Beautifully set table's with a tradition afternoon tea , scrumptious , for all the family .

We were invited after attending a funeral at the nearby crematorium. Everything was perfect. We were all made very welcome and the food was beautiful.

Went for lunch today with my elderly mother and 18 month nephew. My mam had the leek and potoato soup with bacon which said was so very tasty. Owain had sausage,chips and beans which he devoured and I had bruchetta with mozzerela cheese and guess what I cleared my plate as well. We shared a lemon & lime drizzle cake and a chocolate brownie. Yum.

Visited the newly refurbished tearooms for lunch on Wednesday, enjoyed a very tasty bacon, brie and cranberry Panini, served with a lovely fresh side salad and crisps, my son thoroughly enjoyed the children's sausage, chips and beans ( he wants to go back soon - a good sign as he is a fussy eater!!!!), and my mum enjoyed the Ploughman's, all dishes reasonably priced and food sourced locally. Will return soon, great to see two local girls opening a new business and transforming the cricket club to a lovely welcoming tearoom.

Very tasty home cooked food at reasonable prices. The wait was a little long only because we came on a Saturday and didn't get here until 13:30. However, the food was very much worth the wait! Will definitely come back for more. Also had my 40th Birthday "do" here when it was simply the Cricket Club years ago. A bit of nostalgia to boot!

Went for afternoon tea with my mum today 11th Feb wow what a selection of sandwiches and home made cakes delicious and fresh best afternoon tea around on a par with the ritz in London if not better and my mum had the soup which I had on Saturday excellent home made and warm home made crusty bread served with it to. Best thing to be in Bangor will be a regular here now if could give 10 stars I would

Called today for lunch as we were in the area. Pastel shades decorate the cricket pavilion to give a light and airy feel. Orders are taken at the table which is always a nice touch. The menu is limited but that's hardly surprising, from what I can gather it is a relatively new enterprise and also being the beginning of February, I sure that it's hard to estimate your potential customers! Having said that, there were probably around 20 people already there enjoying lunch when we arrived.

Great lunch today at the updated Cricket Pavilion. Now light and airy with flowers decorating the tables and windowsills. The food was tasty, homemade and reasonably priced, the staff were helpful and we all had a nice time as the atmosphere was so welcoming. Recommended for a visit - I have still not tried the fish chowder so will have to come again :-)

I'v had breakfast and lunch here and it's beautiful every time , lovely friendly staff, gorgeous food and drinks , clean & beautiful deco ! I love it here, well done girls,

Afternoon tea treat by a dear friend and was not disappointed. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with very tasty sandwiches and scrumptious scones and cakes. Friendly welcoming staff. A lovely lunch time menu and very reasonably priced

Came for lunch. Had tried to come last week but couldn't find the place (for future reference it's opposite Screw Fix). The Cricket Pavilion has a chilled atmosphere and lovely food. Will definitely be returning.

Visited this morning. Gorgeous inside - decor is lush. Felt like I could even visit solo for a coffee. Staff really friendly, relaxed and helpful. Great coffee and delicious cakes! So good we stayed for an extra round!

Was told about this place by a friend who said it was lovely and she was certainly right. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. A delicious menu but as we had already had lunch we settled for just coffee and scones. Beautiful coffee and the scones were some of the best we have ever tasted. Incredibly fresh and light. Really lovely. The choice of cakes and pastries was superb and it was obvious that they were all home made which makes a difference these days. Will definitely go back again and try some of the other items on the menu. Plenty of space to park. The place was really clean and welcoming. If you are planning a visit to the adjacent Penrhyn Castle, I would suggest that you visit this café either before or after. Excellent value for money.

We found this recently opened cafe by chance... What a top class experience. We found that is run by two sisters and presented in a welcoming homely style. All the food offered is home cooked and delicious. I know they do a small varied breakfast menu with somethings unusual for but we dined in the afternoon. We had a soup a fish chowder and a cake... All were excellently presented and so fresh! All in all,you must call!

What a great find. Lovely new tea room/cafe recommended by garage owner while we were waiting for our car to be fixed. Totally amazed when we walked in, not what we were expecting at all. Amazing hot chocolate and latte, brownies and scones were out of this world. Lovely welcome from the staff, they couldn't do enough for us. Can't wait to go back.
