The Erskine Arms in Conwy

We stopped here after visiting the castle and the smallest house in Britain for a quick bit and a pint. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Had a 2 night stay. The room was lovely and comfortable with a view from one of the dual aspect windows over the castle. We dined in both nights and the food was delicious. The staff were great. We were lucky to get one of only 3 parking spaces available for hotel guests but would have been happy to pay for parking in one of the car parks within walking distance of the accommodation. We have holidayed in the area for years and this is one place we would definitely return to.

Stopped here on a whim and what an absolute treat! A few starters and nibbles which were full of flavour followed by some belly pork done Asian style, unreal flavours! We left very happy and will return on the way back from our trip. What a great food experience 😀

We only went in with the intention of having a quick drink whilst having a walk around Conwy. There was live music on as we arrived and after seeing the food come out we ended up staying for some ourselves. The fish and chips were lovely and the Bailey’s crème brûlée was to die for! They were really accommodating and we didn’t have to wait long for food which was surprising given we hadn’t booked and it was a Sunday afternoon. The staff were really friendly it’s a really cosy atmosphere.

Perfect Sunday lunch, food was really excellent. lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Dog friendly - lots of cosy corners to keep them calm and away from other diners. The restaurant is also dog free of those who prefer it.

Visited here for my birthday last week. Had heard good things and wasn't disappointed. They had a cocktail on the special board, which made my day :) Food was delicious and servings were good. We were stuffed, but I did manage a pudding! Baileys creme brulee..YUMMY! Setting is lovely. Decor stunning. Staff were very good and seemed to enjoy their work. Will return.

We had a local light ale and small fish and chips. The food, although a simple dish, was exquisite. The fish batter was light not greasy and newly fried - I felt pleasantly full, but not ill. The mushy peas were absolutely delicious. The tartare sauce was exceptionally good. It was a perfect meal. The service was fast, friendly and professional.

We were recommended here for dinner as we were staying in Conwy for a few days. One of the best Sunday roasts we’ve ever had. Beautifully prepared and thankfully we managed to get one of the last cauliflower cheeses as they were very popular. Great service and a really lovely atmosphere. Thanks for a great evening

Tuesday lunchtime walk in for 2 adults and 2 children. Excellent choice of meals on kids menus with generous portions. Friendly and attentive staff. Would visit again and try lots of other items from the menu, a varied selection of meals, too many lovely things to choose from!

Everything was fabulous. Good service and no waiting. The beer and wines were good quality. The food was perfect. Great to eat somewhere and have no critism. I would highly recommend it.

We were wondering where all the people were on a Friday night in Conwy & they were here. In the Erskine! The bar staff weren’t that friendly but the restaurant staff couldn’t have been lovelier. The menu was a little limited (for vegetarians) but it was well made & pretty tasty…..the star of the show being the sticky toffee pudding.

Fantastic rooms with great view. Loved the Sunday roast dinner. Close to all amenities. All staff very nice and helpful.

Enjoyed 1 lunch & 2 breakfast meals while staying at The Erskine Arms. Lunch selection is mouth wateringly amazing! Such a variety. I had the pork belly done with a sticky chili sauce, Asian slaw, grilled pak choy & subbed a salad for chips/spuds. I ate it all!! Breakfasts had cold cereals, fruits & yogurts available as self serve. Plus there was a hot a La carte menu as well. Kitchen service on all 3 occasions was efficient & staff all very lovely. Shout out to Nicole who took care of us from check in to meal service to checkout. Even if we’re not staying there again on our next visit to Conwy we will definitely have a lunch or dinner there! *Dinner will no doubt require reservations.

Great food,lovley atmosphere and friendly staff.Sat upstairs watching the fireworks as we dined,was a much needed break 👌👌 😊😊

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Food was amazing cooked to a high standard and well presented. Great selection of drinks. Lovely experience, highly recommend a visit. We will be returning.

Went for a family dinner to celebrate my mums birthday, the service was good as I and my went for a large fish & chips with minted mushy peas, as for the minted mushy peas it's was more like garden peas put through a food...

We'd booked the hotel via a 3rd party site and mistakenly booked the wrong date. However,upon arrival the manager was so solution focused he organised everything perfectly. He was amazing. Breakfast was awesome and again the staff were so outstanding and helpful. Can't fault anything....

Dropped in yesterday 30/12/23.Lovely inside and very busy with people eating,we were only getting drinks.It was standing room only,we did eventually get a seat.We were a group of 8 ,4 couples in our 50s and 60s and were approached by one of the bar staff...

We went here for our works Christmas party. The food wasn't what I would usually eat, but I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave some new things a try. I wasn't disappointed. Portions were small compared to what I'm used to but packed...

Excellent food and service. Pub food this is not! Would highly recommend. 4 of us ate here and each meal was delicious.

We prebooked a table, which we anticipated that we would want later in the day, but everyone was super hungry and it was for dads birthday so we asked if we could bring the booking earlier which they amazingly were able to accomodate. The waitress...

Do not go if you only want drinks, very unwelcoming and told to only stand in a particular area, very unwelcoming staff . Will not return as made to feel uncomfortable

We really loved our one night stay at the Erskine Arms and wished we could have stayed longer. Everything in the hotel was perfect for us. It was really well located in the centre of lovely Conwy. We ate in the restaurant and the food...

Lovely cosy pub with friendly and attentive staff/ manager. Food was the best I’ve eaten on our UK trip so far. Highly recommend.

We as a group of 8 adults (4 couples) booked a table for a meal on a Saturday evening, 18th Nov. The food we couldn't fault what so ever. The Manager & one particular bar staff on the other hand were very rude & asked...

Came off the bus to the best pub restaurant in Conwy met by the lovely Morgan and top Welsh Premier League service from Carlton had the highly recommended roasted duck with shallots and honey roasted carrots.Would highly recommended to anyone visiting Conwy.

visited here Sunday evening for a meal with GF Nice table not too busy we ordered squid and some bread to share for starters what came was poor. 2 tiny pieces of bread and a golfball size piece of butter and the squid was a...

Early evening dinner which was beautiful. Quick and attentive service, lovely food. I had the roast chicken breast and my husband had pork loin. We shared the cheese board after which was a very nice selection. Seating arrangements in the restaurant were very nice, not...

Was recommended and was very impressed! Incredible tasty food, very good service and lovely location. I just wish this pub was where I’m from as I’d be visiting more often! Best pub iv been to in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We stayed at the Erskin Arms for a few days. The room was lovely and cosy and very clean. Breakfast was tasty. We thought our dinner was amazing. The slow roasted brisket Sunday lunch was delicious and the home made pistachio topped white chocolate cheesecake was my personal favourite. Staff were wonderful, definitely going again.

So glad we booked before we went on holiday as they are packed every day with good reason. Our first meal was dinner on a Sunday, as we entered an American gentleman who was just leaving said get the brisket its fab. We took his...

Dans un pub traditionnel un cadre assez typique et une carte comme dans tous ces endroits : ultra classique … viande braisée très très cuite , Burger .. service correct prix moyens

We have been here many times before and love it. However yesterday was not an enjoyable experience. Beer was flat. The food still had not arrived after 45mins so we complained to the waitress who was unable to help. We asked to see the manager. Talk about passive aggressive and rude. Her attitude was awful and she had no idea how to handle our questions which soon turned into a complaint. She argued with us and disagreed with everything we said. Erskine, this manager is letting you down! She wasn’t even dressed smartly and did not look professional what so ever. Piercings in a food environment go against health and safety and food safety.

Visited Saturday lunchtime with our dog. We got the last table outside and ordered shashuka, roast aubergine on sourdough. Prompt service. Food was delicious- distinct layers of flavours and tasty dressed salad. Good glass of wine. Love this place - it seems many do as it's increasingly common hard to get a table ❤️

The food is outstanding it’s not just pub food. The four of us all had different meals which we all rated as 5 star, if the staff had been more friendly and professional then overall rating would be 5 star. The food is definitely top restaurant standard, thank you for 4 delicious meals

Great spot for lunch, really nice place. They only let dogs in the bar, which is quite small and it did get busy (not sure if they do reservations). The food was great and there were lots of interesting vegan choices, not the usual fayre. Worth a visit.

Yes, this is a must go spot if you want an upscale pub vibe. There are multiple rooms and an enclosed outdoor patio which was relaxing and quiet. Protocol for the patio was to order and pay at the bar and the wait staff delivered your food. Don't know the ordering process inside. Our sandwiches, smoked salmon and the fish and fries, were both delicious, well constructed and decent portions. While there, be sure to order their local beer - Conway Draft.

We visited with 3 generations of the family for a pre-booked dinner. We had visited before, some years ago. The service was good and reasonably fast. The food was well cooked and served appropriately and it was very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will visit again.

Been a while since Ive been here, and the food has noticeably gone downhill. The mushroom soup was nice but the croutons had a horrible taste. Due to lack of appealling non - meat options, I had the arancini starter as a main. The arancini was incredibly greasy and was served with far too much oily and overwhelming tapenade. The pitta and humus was appalling value for money and my friends' squid was really poor. The chips served with the greasy fish were pale and under cooked. More interesting non - meat options would be good, curry is a lazy veggie option.

I am a veggie and there was still plenty of choice for me, I could not pick what I wanted as everything sounded delicious. The food did not disappoint. And we sat out in the courtyard in the sunshine. My husband enjoyed his bao buns...

We were looking for somewhere to eat on a busy Friday evening and having just arrived in Conwy for the weekend hadn't booked anywhere. We ended up popping in the Erskine Arms as we passed and they had a table in their beer garden and...

Lovely welcome and superb evening meal, the menu refreshingly varied. Dogs happily accepted in bar and beer garden too.

A neighbour suggested giving this place a visit on my next trip to the area. And so, along with a friend I took up the suggestion. And as the Castle is on a few minutes walk away, it made for a very pleasant afternoon. Drinks:...

We were staying at the Y Chapel. The breakfast here was included in the price. Everything was good, but he smoked salmon on scrambled eggs was a real treat.

A really lovely , charming pub with great food too . Lovely gluten free options and helpful pleasant staff . Glad we booked a table as it was really busy . Took a little while getting on main course, but we could see how busy...

Wow finally a non-musty smelling pub that has put some effort into its decor and its overall cleanliness. Would highly recommend great atmosphere, lovely beer garden which is a sun trap. If this was located opposite the harbour this would be 10/10. Lovely stuff.

We were staying at the Chapel guest house (or Y Capel) overnight which is owned by the Erskine Hotel. We were grateful to be booked in for a table at short notice and at our preferred time. It was noticeable the staff are friendly and...

Had a great experience at this pub/restaurant. We hadn’t booked a table but had read some great reviews about the food so risked popping in. The friendly man on the door suggested we try and grab a table at the bar area which didn’t need...

Friendly efficient staff, great food and ale and fair prices. Dogs are welcome in the lower bar and patio. We ate the Battered Haddock and the Erskine Burger. Excellent! The steak pie at the next table looked good too.

Sunday roast dinner at Erskins was excellent, portion size more than adequate. The service was good. Certainly will be returning.

We didn't stay at the hotel but had an excellent dinner. The quality of both our starters and main courses was superb. We agreed the best meal we'd each had this year (we are foodies and travel a lot). The cod loin, mussels, samphire and...

Super meal with friends, starters main and pudding all lovely and served by a nice waitress who was friendly. We enjoyed the fish and chips and beef nachos and would recommend the local ice cream too! Would return and recommend.

Enfin ! Un vrai bon restaurant avec des produits frais, cuisinés avec talent par le chef Kurtis - chef second...

My wife and I arrived at the Erskine Arms after several train rides and two cabs. We were worn out and need of refreshment. We were greeted at reception by Micha, a delightful young woman who said our reservation was in order. Great. But I...

We went here with a small dog, Conway is not particularly dog friendly. But this pub has a lower bar and patio. We were told we could not book a table for the evening meal. So at 7 o’clock we returned, four adults and a...

Excellent service - very pleasant staff and made every attempt to fulfill wishes I'd noted in the booking email - wonderful. Food - exceptional especially the Pan fried Chicken supreme and sticky toffee pudding. Only downside - but I should have enquired before booking -...

I can only echo the other reviews in that the food here is excellent and the waiting staff patient and attentive at the same time. Managed to book a table on the day, booking is probably essential, and taken upstairs in what is a bit...

I usually pick restaurants by the best on Trip Advisor but this didnt come up. My friend found it on Google. Quick read of the menu, I knew straight away the chefs were motivated - great menu and write up. Suspected theyd be fully booked...

All the reviews rate this pub highly, so we booked in for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The roast dinner was delicious and very generous, our waitress was super attentive and the atmosphere was just so lovely, the decor and even the live keyboardist...

We stayed at The Erskine Arms last year and loved it so much we just had to come back this year. We were in the same room again, just by coincidence, and the whole stay was wonderful again! The room was lovely, the bar downstairs...

My fish and chips were very good; fresh tasting fish, not a heavy crust, cooked just right. Chips and peas were excellent.

We ate here for breakfast twice & one evening meal. Food & service very good. The bar area was always busy with a great friendly atmosphere.

We ate here twice during our week stay in the area. Great food and service on both lunch and dinner Quite popular so recommend booking for busy times Extensive varied menu and reasonable prices

Being from the US, we are quite picky about onion rings. The Erskine Arms delivers a fun atmosphere, great food choices, a diverse drink menu, AND wonderful onion rings! We enjoyed everything about our dinner here, but the onion rings were simply amazing! If in...

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting North Wales. We stayed in the Y Capel ( The Chapel) which is owned by the Erskine Arms. I would rate this as excellent. The rooms were spacious and we ate in the Erskine Arms ( just across a...

Lovely food, lovely service, and a bustling environment, where it was fun to eat. There was a really cute pub area and an outdoor eating area where dogs were welcome and it had a homey environment with fantastic food. The fish and chips were some...

Delicious food and lovely interior. Also excellent beer. The chicken Sunday roast was the best roast I can remember having in a restaurant! 100 percent worth a visit if you are in Conwy.

Reserved a table in advance for a Sunday roast and was very happy with everything. The slow cooked beef was succulent and the trimmings really supported the whole. Everything you would want. Had a panna cotta for desert and my only complaint is that it...

Fantastic food and great service, loses a star as a little pricey... But you do get what you pay for.. Would highly recommend.

Dined here a few times and its been very good. However, called and had a Sunday roast pork dinner and was somewhat disappointed. The pork wasn't very tender to say the least and was a bit dry through not enough gravy (i could/should have for...

Well looked after from the beginning, food and drinks were delicious! Lovely decor and lovely atmosphere. 10/10 recommend :)

My wife and I had just parked the car and walked up to the castle. We arrived at the Tourist Information Centre and noticed that it was lunchtime. Just across the road we noticed The Erskine Arms. It looked very nice so we thought that...

Lovely location & building. Quickly seated for our reservation. Perfect timing - not rushed and not left too long. Excellent food - chicken pie delicious. Was confused by the fruity sauce which our sticky toffee pudding appeared to be sat on (no reference to it...

Booked for Sunday lunch as we were on holiday in Conwy. Food was excellent - would definitely recommend the pork loin, and the service was friendly and efficient despite it being very busy (Father's day).

No doubt this is a very popular pub , but the competition for good pub food in Conwy is actually poor with not many choices for good food. The Erskine is very busy and maybe that’s it downfall. When we ate there the sea bass...

We booked a dinner reservation a day ahead of time, which was to our advantage as we were told that they were not taking any dinner guests who had not booked. I had mentioned a specific allergy when I made the booking, and one of...

We had a two night stay in a B&B in Conwy and based our booking here on positive reviews. It exceeded our expectations, the food was far superior to the “pub grub” we had been expecting - we had the fish pie and chicken pie...

We ate here about 2 weeks ago, and we all had a scrumptious dinner! I would definitely recommend this place to others and would come back if we were in North Wales!

average food this time and service very slow waitress took drinks orders, but after about 10 mins I was ready for another pint. I had to go to the bar to order as no one came over for about 20 mins my mum and sister...

Great staff and good choice of freshly cooked food with fresh chips not frozen. Catered for GF and intolerances well.

Sunday dinner was definitely a 10/10. Everything cooked to perfection. Bar staff were very helpful & professional. The side orders were very generous as well. Pub was spotless, as were the toilets. We would definitely recommend a visit. Ideal location, in the shadow of Conway...

We ate here two nights and it was excellent. Popular eatery in Conwy with a varied menu after seeing so many pub food offerings. Nice indoor seating areas along with an attractive outdoor space. Efficient service, great beer and wine selection along with reasonable prices....

We stayed at the Erskine Arms for three nights and had the Full Welsh Breakfast every morning. It was absolutely delicious. In fact our whole experience staying there was delightful, from the warm welcome from the friendly staff, to the comfy room, to its perfect...

May I please start by stressing I have never taken to trip advisor before. But my families recent experience at this establishment was terrible. We have always visited the Erskine in the past when ever in Conwy and always had great tasty food with swift...

Had a bad experience here before but decided to try again. Unfortunately not improved. We ordered our food and a bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner. Almost an hour later and still no food we enquired what was the problem to be told the...

We'd heard great things about this pub and my parents had been here before and found the food delicious. Sadly, the food seems to have gone downhill since then. Pros: Really friendly, welcoming and efficient staff Lovely ambience to the pub Starters and garlic bread...

My expectations about the food were low …, this is North Wales. It’s description, more enticing than the rest of the menu , it read something like bacon chop on bubble and squeak. Sounded safe and optimistically hard for any chef to screw up. It...

Booked a table here but wanted to come in earlier. The lovely staff were able to get us in. Did take a long time to get the table service, as I was unsure I did ask if we were supposed to order at the bar....

A super lovely Sunday lunch. A modern twist, but still a roast with all the trimmings. Well seasoned and beautiful meat. I had beef husband had pork we were both very happy. Staff and service excellent.

Good food , staff great , value for money with lots of choice. Would go back again with family. Dogs welcome too .

The food here is sooooo delicious. Really, really busy so always book if you want a table. We sat upstairs for the first time last night and it was great. There's a fab buzz of conversation coming up from the pub, but there aren't as...

We had a lovely meal at Erskine Arms whilst on holiday in Conwy. We shared homemade soda bread- which was delicious. The fish pie was tasty as was the sweet potato and coconut curry. We finished with the banana bread and a cheese board (...

We popped in to the Erskine Arms for lunch after a walk along the costal path. The food was lovely and staff were very friendly. Great selection of beers and ales. Well worth a visit and we will return.

The food here is fantastic. Every dish that we had on our two visits here were lovely from the chicken pie to the clam chowder. The arancini was amazing and the beef croquettes full of flavour. It is clear that the chefs care about their...

This was a last minute booking as we unexpectedly needed 2 nights to fill the gap in our 6 nights in Llandudno. It was a fluke as I managed to book the last room and on the two last nights of the staycation offer. We...

Went get on our visit day in Conwy and so good, and on our last as well! We had our springer spaniel with us so could only eat in the bar but great atmosphere and friendly and helpful service. The chicken pot pie I had...

Went for a birthday. No drinks menus available, food was average but sufficient. Stayed for just over an hour server only came to the table twice throughout the whole visit. Nothing better than a Wetherspoons

Such a lovely friendly place with very tasty food, plenty of options. Very dog friendly, Sidney was made to feel very welcome. Had about five meals here whilst in Conwy for a weeks holiday, highly recommended

Conwy was our first stop for two weeks in the UK and we could not have picked a better place to start than our stay at the Erskine Arms! Our room was cozy and inviting, and the sound of the gulls in the morning was...

Love the Erskine it’s one of the best pubs in Conwy. I only have 1 gripe and that is the non-alcoholic selection ….. Heineken 0. The worst ever option. I noticed this weekend that they sell Beavertown who do a great non-alcoholic beer. Come on...
