The Davy Jones Locker in Gwynedd

We stopped here for lunch and sat outside looking over the harbour with a great view of the bridge. The service was very good and the staff welcoming and friendly. We soon had our lunch which were freshly made sandwiches with salad and crisps. Delicious! Glad to have eaten here and enjoy the lovely views!.

Visited last week, first time since pre COVID, still an excellent service, a very enjoyable meal at a very reasonable price and the extra bowl of chips my wife and I ordered would have served a party of four. Whilst we were there an elderly gentleman who had fallen face first into the harbour mud was directed to an outside tap where he could wash himself down, he returned and ordered a meal and drink, when asking for the bill the lady proprietor would not accept payment, a very kind gesture on her part, bless her.

£30+ for frozen food, frozen fish, frozen chips, half a kilo of frozen peas, packet salad. Poor quality too. A quality and pride in food free-zone. £12 + £14 for fish cakes (2, thin), for cod goujons, (packet). To eat by the sea! No table service for ordering. For the limited menu - why wasn't this food freshly prepared? The menu stated 'FRESH" for each menu item - untrue! Why wasn't there local produce? Why would I choose again to eat out buying processed frozen food at exorbitant prices. I'm happy to pay for quality - where was it? Not fair to complain to the pleasant girl at the till. Never again. Davy Jones Locker is lazy and does not try to satisfy customers. Perhaps Davy Jones doesn't think it matters tourists come and go. I live here. I remember when the food was fine. I will not recommend any one I know go there.

We always try and stop at Davy Jones when passing through Barmouth. A place we always enjoy and try to sit outside with fab views of the harbour. A lovely breakfast as always, definitely a great stop to make!

Travelled 2 hours and fancied a nice sit down lunch so decided to visit Davy Jones Locker. We arrived at 11.30 and were told lunch started at 12 so decided to wait 1/2 hour. At exactly 11.59 my husband made his way to the ordering counter to be told he could not order as still not 12. At this point we left as felt the staff member was rude and not very helpful at all - ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE so will never visit again

Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff. Excellent choice of food and drinks, nice to see more than 5 tea choices. Food excellent, presentation excellent, nothing too much trouble. Food arrived fairly quickly, despite it being a fairly busy time. Accommodated this wheelchair user without fault.

I made a rookie error and ordered without checking the menu prices. 3 bacon sandwiches and 2 instant coffees £27. Swallowed my distaste and paid, reasoning that these must be seriously good for the £7.50 price I paid. They arrived after 20mins on thin, dry bread. Minimal bacon. I understand the need for profit but this was the worst value and most disappointing bacon sandwich I've had in 44 years. Someone would need to work for 2.5 hours at national living wage to afford this toss. Awful

Dropped in for Lunch, Food was delicious and Hot. We sat outside as we had our doggy with us, but it is dog friendly but the day was sunny and we had a great view of the beach/harbour. We were served very quickly and the portions were generous. Prices were fair . It was clean and tidy as was the cutlery and dishes. There is a great choice of Drinks available too. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would highly recommend it. The staff were pleasant and friendly . Nothing too much trouble.

We fancied a coffee and a quick snack when we got to Barmouth. The Davy Jones was more or less the first place we came to. It’s got a great location; right on the harbour. There’s loads to watch. We only had coffee and cake. These were spot on. There’s a decent menu with ‘proper’ meals available. The plates we saw coming out looked pretty good. Watch out for the seagulls. We were sat outside and saw a few very ‘confident’ gulls.

5⭐️ clean 👌 5⭐️ staff 👌 5⭐️breakfast 👌 5⭐️ location 👌 Had breakfast outside lovely view whilst having a great breakfast..

Had breakfast here the last three days. Excellent Locker breakfast very nicely cooked and very tasty. My wife had the Bacon, Egg and Avocado on Toast which she really enjoyed. Coffee was excellent and all reasonably priced.

Great breakfast, they have gluten free bread but not sausages so had extra bacon. Unfortunately a crafty Gull got one piece of my toast, but you are warned about them so can't complain, just admire its cleverness. They don't have dairy free butter which is unusual nowadays but managed without. Great coffee as well, went on out last morning so don't know about the other meals they do. You have to sit outside with dogs, but good view of the harbour as long as its dry.

We always stop here each time we visit Barmouth. As always, we were not disappointed. The lovely staff were friendly and working hard to make sure we all had just what we wanted. Very nice, generous servings of hearty food, served hot. Large mugs of Barista coffee. We can’t fault it. Wish we owned it!

Waited in queue for 20 minutes, asked for 4 breakfast baps when I finally got the the counter, to be abruptly told that they weren't ready to serve any food, and the lady turned around and walked off. I have never ever been to anywhere with such rude staff, the food looked mediocre at best.

We had hoped for fish and chips - but they were off the menu so had special of the day - Crab cakes and salad ( I also had a plate of oven chips). Completely without any taste crab ? Hm - deep fried patties with a green salad with a slight brush of dressing. Dips were provided I assume to give some taste Service was friendly- but the food was very poor value

Pretty good English breakfast. On the small side. Another sausage and piece of bacon along with black pudding making an appearance would be appreciated. Basket of toast rather than a piece of toast would please the majority. Full when we were there, so the method is bringing em in…

Very cosy (small) cafe with lots of relics from its fishing days. Pretty view over the harbour with a good menu. Very busy and missed a trick not using awning outside when heavy rain as turning customers away. Food was lovely with good potion size and quick service.

wow what a very busy place the choice of foods polite staff choice of dining inside or out, had to wait a bit but we'll worth it, look forward to be going back their

Visited this cafe on a very wet Sunday with friends and their dog. As it was raining it was very busy inside but we were able to share a table with a fellow customer whilst he finished up. The full breakfast was decent and fairly quick to arrive. I ordered a flat white coffee which looked and tasted a bit strange so maybe stick to something a bit less fancy. Otherwise a decent breakfast choice in a scenic location.

Very friendly and helpful staff, food decent quality ingredients at a reasonable price. Setting delightful with views of the harbour, what more could you ask for?

A very old small pub in Barmouth. There is a good selection of food on the menu. I had the beef chilli and chips which was delicious. My friend had crab cakes and salad with a chilli dip and sour cream. She enjoyed it very much. There is a large selection of cakes in the fridge for sale. There are tables outside as well. There are no toilets, but there are some across the road. Great staff.

Ordered two breakfasts (1 x bacon, 1 x sausage, 1 x egg, 1 x toast, mushrooms and beans) and two coffees; total £24.20. Other half has an egg allergy so asked to swap his egg for a tomato. They agreed but said they couldn't do swaps, so would have to charge for it (£1.50). Lovely place, nicely cooked food but pricy and not very accommodating - first place we've ever visited that refused to replace an item without charge. Such a shame.

Me & my 15 yr old lad had cycled from Dolgellau to Barmouth along the Mawddach trail. He chose Davy Jones on appearance. What a great choice, friendly staff, great breakfast & strong coffee.

Staff are super friendly food top notch highly recommend this great little place Proper cuppa tea and portion of chips as a snack is big enough for 2 people

I just looked at the view of cadir Idris mountain and so enjoyed my cooked Bfast coffee and ciggy I was so chilled didn't wanna move 😅 love ❤️ it there you can almost imagine being a pirate

Great breakfast served after they had officially stopped serving breakfasts. Helped make our trip to Barmouth very enjoyable.

Had the steak, mushroom and caramelised onion sandwich and it was really good. It was very busy but the staff were friendly and efficient and the place is dog friendly. Have been before and this visit definitely didn’t disappoint.

Amazing views.👌..... poor food quality😔 Visited this place a few times a month ago, AMAZING, couldn't fault food at all, Returned today, the Amazing vegetarian lentil burgers are replaced by cheap quality takeaway £2 burgers, Couldnt eat it and Spoke to manager who said after...

Been for a weeks holiday and went to DJL 2 times and had great service and drinks we had cake and coffee both times great service

Have being coming here for 30+years, never again! all new staff the prices are ridiculous 7 pound for a bacon sandwich, which was greasy and done on brown bread when we requested white, the atmosphere has changed used to be friendly staff and the locals...

Stopped for lunch had a lovely cured meat platter with bread and olives baby tomatoes with cream cheese onions and chutney. It was generous and tasty. Great atmosphere beside the bay.

Given short shrift when enquiring about a lunch time drink. The server could ‘only do one thing at a time’ and NO, you need to purchase food before you can purchase a drink. Bad customer service. Won’t be rushing back to DJL. Shame

I and my family have been coming to this place for 30 plus years, alway to have the breakfast it was fantastic..it has change over the years but still good value.....NOW its smaller plate half the food on the plate no toast in a basket..and...

Quirky cafe overlooking the water at Barmouth. Had coffees but the place didn’t have toilets, even though they served food! Service ok nothing special, but the view was lovely.

Really overcharged on price of breakfast. Being dog friendly, a breakfast sausage for the dog was charged at £5.90. 1x breakfast, 1x sandwich, 2x teas and 1x sausage £21.30. APSOLUTE RIPOFF

Visited Barmouth & spotted DJ Locker. Great location overlooking the harbour. Outside seat available so decided on here for a late brunch. You order at the indoor counter, with food served to your table. Waiting staff attended tables well, making sure they were swiftly clean...

Always our go to place in Barmouth for a brew with a view and what a view! Love sitting outside and watching the world go by, especially on a sunny day. However, it's getting a bit expensive. Coffee there was the most expensive we paid...

Beautiful setting overlooking harbour, friendly staff, generous portions at reasonable price and all fresh. Could do with sun canopy to protect from all the annoying seagulls bombing you with nasty droppings.

A poor fried breakfast of cheap, tasteless, budget variety ingredients. Where were the tomatoes, the black pudding - surely the delight of a fry up is the locally/regionally sourced produce. Almost undrinkable, scalding coffee. We were so disappointed. I’ve been visiting The Locker for nearly...

Superb meat sharing platter. Lots of quality meats - including thick cut ham with salami, proscuttio, various olives, delicious onion chutney etc. Such a change from the usual sandwich! All this on a lovely outsidectable overlooking the harbour. Inside was amazingly decorated too - but...

Managed to find a table outside. No starters so straight into main courses; chilli and burger. Bit disappointed with the burger; very fatty. Excellent service; an adjacent table was bombed by seagulls once vacated.

A lovely place to eat, great breakfast and dog friendly and friendly staff 😀 we had a great breakfast and took in our golden retriver who was welcomed!! Great surroundings!

An interesting diner food is great , choices of seating in or out clean premises, staff are very helpful and polite well worth a visit

Visited previously but wasn’t as impressed this time. Soup was thick and gloopy coffee (milky) was very good. Partners meal was ok. Dog friendly

This brilliant little place is in one of the oldest buildings in the area and this is clear when you go in. The downside to this is the size of the place and the fact there's no loo (public loo opposite though) The service was...

Only stopped for coffee today which was ok but the service was poor bordering on rude. Will not return.

Visited here twice. Firstly we just had a drink, my coffee did not fit the description that was advertised on a notice board by the till. However we came back later for an ice cream, they were good.

Very disappointing veggie burger - the mash n mixed frozen veg type, I. e. very little protein, served with more potato (chips) . Sad to be served such a poor burger these days. Sad to see that most sauces were only available in single use...

Visited with family in August. It was a warm day so we sat on the tables outside meaning you have nice views of the harbour. Tasty breakfast, good portions and well priced. It's our go to place for breakfast in Barmouth.

Very mediocre food. I ordered cod gougons. they were just fish fingers with frozen chips.the tables weren’t very clean either. No toilet facilities (advised to use the public toilet across the street which were filthy) wouldn’t eat here again or recommend

Busy restaurant on the harbour. Large portions , enjoyed the fish cakes and fish goujons, Shame not freshly made but nonetheless tasted lovely . Good , reasonably priced food and presented well but the drinks are pricey £6.50 a bottle of cider No toilet facilities...

Very disappointed with the Locker breakfast, my wife wanted to swap her baked beans for a tomato and was told that would be extra, I personally have never been to any establishment where they want extra money to swap an item, also the sausage was...

A busy Barmouth town centre naturally pushes you toward this 1500’s establishment, when all others are packed. A mix of new and old serving staff, older being disgruntled and young polite and courteous. Food generally good but drinks prices clearly the cash cow. On offer,...

We went here today/ at lunch time. The food was very nice . Between us had prawn salad, couple of kids meals and a couple of shared platters . Prob spent £60/70. Went in To ask politely where the toilet was, to be told -bluntly-...

Firstly the food was good but overpriced the beer was OK but seriously overpriced, £6 for a small beer, its cheaper than that on Las Vegas strip!! The staff were rude, unwelcoming and downright miserable. Obviously this place survives by ripping off the turnover of...

We liked the atmosphere and the interior. Intended on going for breakfast but as they didn't have gluten free toast we decided against it. Coffee was nice and pleased it wad dog friendly.

Customers get in the way of miserable staff I , there was a lot of cafe around to chose from hope this helps

A super warm atmosphere on entering this eatery.Smelt delicious! Had breakfast,very good value for money,piping hot,good service.Decent coffee too.

Warm.and welcoming best bacon sarnie ...table service with a smile I always go when in Barmouth The best views 😍 ever makes you feel great 👍

We had just been in a 3 hour walk and was glad this little gem was open Me n my husband had the ham sandwiches and they where brilliant and fresh ! With crisps and a salad garnish Great location , good choice , staff polite and professional thank you

Tasty meals, Had cheese sandwich which was very filling with a lovely fresh salad Partner had steak sandwich which was hot and tasty. Staff pleasant. Dog friendly. No toilets on site but clean public toilets across road.

"Best ham sandwich ever". Xavier age 9 Also lovey crab cakes, great staff, dog friendly and fun seaside theme!

Needed a table for 6 plus 2 dogs. We were made very welcome and shown straight to a table. Good selection of food and drinks, all well priced. Order taken promptly and food arrived hot, tasty and without any delay. Would highly recommend.

We love this place, mainly for the view but the service is great too.We visited Barmouth during our stay in Snowdonia and this is always the first place we head.Lucky to get a table outside in the September sunshine with THAT view.We only had coffee but it was great and delivered by efficient, friendly staff as always. Tables were being cleaned as soon as they were vacated and everything was spotless.Couldn't fault a thing and can't wait to be back next time we're in beautiful Barmouth.

Love friendly staff, nice atmosphere and position on the harbour. We were delighted to get a table on the harbour side but unfortunately we wanted a proper meal and there were no gluten free options other than the same old jacket potato. Sadly we left but found the young lady polite and helpful the setting perfect and the tables clean just a shame that all mains were either in breadcrumbs or pastry

Visited Barmouth and found Davy Jones locker, great menu choice and friendly staff. We all went for the great value all day breakfast... Hot drinks were good as well, nice coffee.

We had lunch here. The views were great and the staff were friendly. However the quality of the food was not reflected in the prices. £11.95 for burger and chips which I can understand if it was home made but this was a very cheap burger. The ones you get from a chippy. The fish cakes were mainly coating and I’m pretty sure they weren’t home made either.At least the baked potato was spot on!So basically cheap food at premium prices with the scenic views thrown in.Apart from that it was great

What a lovely place to have breakfast really nice friendly staff food served quick tasty and well priced also went out of there way to make our dog welcome fresh water bowl and biscuits would definitely visit again 👍

I last posted a review of this place August 2020 another year on and what can I say My whole family regularly use this place and have done for years Never again rude staff, rubbish food Avoid this place and use the other cafes where the staff are polite The standards were appalling

Went in for late lunch yesterday, very accomodating as we had 2 dogs, food was lovely with generous portions and reasonably priced, service was good and friendly, would definitely recommend and will go again when in the area.

We had fish and chips, feta salad and crab sandwiches. All rather tasty and freshly done. Portions are large.

This was a great place to stop and eat, views of the harbour and the hills. We enjoyed our lunch so much we went back again. We also stopped for coffee one morning I can recommend the old fashioned milky coffee.The staff were very cheerful and friendly.

Had an enjoyable meal staff and food very good at reasonable price. Had table outside overlooking the harbour

I rang in advance to see what vegan options they had for breakfasts, to be told that they do a vegan breakfast. I arrived and sat down with my family, only to be told that their sausages contain milk and I couldn’t have the hash browns due to them being in a fryer with meat. No vegan butter either!If you’re saying that you have a vegan option then it should be a full vegan option- not just a few bits of vegetables with dry toast… very disappointed :-(I didn’t bother ordering as it wasn’t worth the money given I couldn’t have a vegan alternative to the sausage or the hash browns. I just sat and watched the rest of my family have their meals. Staff need to be mindful of what they’re saying on the phone as we came out of our way to come here for their “vegan breakfast”.

Visited while on trip to Barmouth. Just wanted drinks, which wasn’t an issue. Service was good and staff friendly. We didn’t eat as didn’t fancy anything at time BUT we did see food coming out for other patrons and it looked good. We’ll have to try food next time we visit

The seats were caked in filth, including hair and crumbs. The tables were sticky and dirty. We paid £36 for 2 meals that weren't even worth £5 each. It was entirely made from cheap, frozen ingredients. We were severely disappointed. Go round the corner to The Last Inn instead.

Awful salad, mostly iceberg lettuce with cheap feta cubes and tiny olives. No salad dressing. Shocking for £11.95. Worst salad ever.

I have been holidaying on this area for years and no trip to Barmouth was complete without a visit to Davy Jones but in future I might just walk on by. The food used to be lovely but now is just average and there just seems to be no customer service anymore. We had to wait a long time for someone to take our order and service just seems to be lacking. The last three times we have been it has not delivered. Its a great location and could be a real gem but the young staff team don't seem to give it their all. Such a shame.

Visited with my ill mother. She was made to feel stupid and laughed at for making simple requests in relation to her health condition. Seems to be new management, never experienced this poor level of customer service and arrogance here before. Never eating here again.

We have been going to Davy Jones Locker for years; it is our favourite place in Barmouth but our last visit was not the same. The setting is still beautiful but the food and coffee were both very ordinary - hopefully it is the pandemic and things will be back to normal soon.

Me and a friend went yesterday 29/09/20. Stopped off in barmouth while on a motorcycle ride . Sat on a table on the quayside . Fantastic little spot . The waitress was friendly and polite and give us fantastic customer service. We ordered 2 jolly Roger burgers . The food come quickly and was presented beautifully on a wooden platter . The food was lovely. Fresh and very tasty . I would highly recommend anyone to go here .A fantastic little find and we will definitely be back

We ordered food from this eatery, please be careful when paying as we were well overcharged £11.10 when seeking clarification with waitress I was left feeling I was in the wrong I had to rechallenge the amount again and was left feeling confused as the refund was still less than the amount that bill should have been. The waitress with flowers on her glasses insisted I was wrong and her boss said she would give me the difference anyway!!! Our food was just okay but the chips were well done we uncomfortable they were clearly in the wrong but left me feeling I was not right to challage the correct price. I even mentioned that they had also undercharged for the Crabcakes they charged £8.50 but on the menu it stated they were £8.95? Other customers were also given the oppertunity to pay after their meal but we had to pay up front??? Not a good experience at all maybe just a busy day and a one off!

One of the party had the steak sandwich, so full of steak he really enjoyed it. Others had the brie cranberry and bacon panini, really good. It was the waitress first day and she was lovely. Highly recommended.

A Brilliant place to grab a snack or have a meal.We enjoyed a brilliant sized portioned meal, the service was brilliant the variety of food available is very good and the service is quick and friendly and is reasonably priced.Offering great views of the harbour.

The food here is fab, lovely staff and overall really tasty/comforting dishes for anyone on a peaceful getaway. The ambiance is great too, not too bright or dark and the whole theme of Davey Jones is appropriate for the location. Good range of outdoor setting too. The cooked breakfast is a must-have and their burgers are very nice.My only downside would be the lack of online menu and the lack of dishes variation. It's more of a day-time dining experience but it would be nice to have more evening-style dishes to really bring in the late night tourism that goes on in Barmouth. Can't wait to come again soon!

Excellent food freshly prepared with very good service at a unique location. Choice of food good and quite reasonable.

Myself and my girlfriend family came here for lunch in this unique location and we were very delighted with the food.The staff were very friendly and well organised. I had the chilli and it was lovely, just right amount of spice. The burgers looked good and the girls who ate them liked them. We enjoyed the chips and although it was a little pricey, the portion size was good compared other places.I would recommend this place and it's in a good location. Thank you for returning my sunglasses too, I appreciate the honest and efficient service which some restaurants don't have

Firstly let me start by saying what a view this cafe has! Secondly the food and drinks, for a small little spot was truly lovely.However the key point to this review was the staff, they made this pit stop one of the best meals out we’ve had. Katy gave us a list of places to visit, a booklet to Barmouth and so many laughs, including with the locals, which was lovely to see, everyone having their own seats and times they visit.....and I can see why!!!!!I would visit again solely due to Katy and all the other waitresses.

Brilliant location and nice staff, stopped by for some chips after a long walk. We were disappointed to find that the chips which cost £4.50 were standard wholesale chips and not homemade which we expected for that price.

Have been going here for years The staff are really nice and the food is always good Bacon sandwich was best I have had in ages I asked for it to be well done, it was perfect Thanks ladies

Covid menu not an excuss I'm afraid. Jam on toast not and option but we can have toast or a jam sandwich! Went with a Jam sandwich for our 3 year old, he didn't have a bite of one of his usual favorite as there was so much butter on it that it was quite disgusting. Usually we would have made a complaint instead of a review but the attitude of the brunette waitress towards asking the kitchen if maybe they could do jam on toast put us off bothering.I had a cooked breakfast. Possibly the most underwhelming and smallest cooked breakfast I have ever had.Bacon was nice.

Love coming here when we visit. The food has always been really good and great fast service. On our most recent visit we sadly missed out on breakfast as we arrived too late, so we all enjoyed a toasted tea cake and a milky coffee instead. With the new system in place due to the current situation they did a great job making sure tables were cleared and cleaned even quicker than normal between customers. We didn’t have to wait long to place our order or receive our drinks and snacks. Beautiful views of the harbour, great food,drink and service.

So disappointing for first lunch out since lockdown. Greasy cheap food that we didn’t finish, worst crab cakes I’ve ever had. Not even in the half price meals scheme so over £40 for an awful lunch.

Went to Barmouth for day no toilets open in any restaurants have to sit outside . £5 for a bottle of beer only Budweiser available. Food of poor quality and overpriced. Sandwich smothered in cranberry sauce couldn't eat it . Staff unwelcoming and made us feel like they really didn't care

the food was lovely and had such a friendly blonde waitress serving us, however there was a nasty brunette waitress who made fun of us for drinking even though we are all over the age of 18 with ID. she was also rude and condescending to her colleagues in front of us. would recommend to go on the days that the brunette isn’t working.

We came here for dinner and sat outside and the location is great, you are right on the sea front . The food was good too and all cooked fresh.It does look like a traditional pub however there are no drinks on tap and limited drinks available .

This restaurant has a lovely outside covered terrace and pavement tables. The menu was good and varied, with a good choice of childrens food. The food was tasty, good portions, and good value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful.

This is not a pub. That is the fist thing I would say. So no alcohol on tap ect. However the staff are very friendly. The food is amazing. The gammon and chips especially. Dog friendly with a nice outside area overlooking the harbour.

We had lunch here at Davy Jones Locker in Barmouth on a wet and windy day. The restaurant is very quirky and snug. The decoration and feel in the building is fantastic and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The food was very good quality and well priced and it made an overall lovely lunch to escape the weather.Highly recommend this place for family lunch.

We have eaten at Davy Jones Locker in Barmouth so many times, it is always perfect, good honest food at a good price with fantastic staff. Beautiful location to sit out on a nice summers day and equally as nice on a cold winters day if you are rugged up. Any visit to Barmouth needs to include lunch at The Davy Jones Locker
