The Harp Inn in Gwynedd

The imminent improvements here are long overdue. After all the promises with grants and support, nothing has actually happened from a customers' perspective and the building remains a drab and basic facility. Having said that, the beer is still good and the welcome was at least polite. I understand the big makeover is coming (with several weeks of closure) so here's hoping....

Absolutely shocking seriously 😦 it was like going back in time card machine did not work so we where unable to have a drink,had to search for some cash the barman was clueless not even apologetic shocking after some time the card machine was back and we ordered a meal seriously never have I had food like this not even hot my chicken wings where stone cold we thought they are having a bad day we went through to the toilet area to the what appeared to be the back bar omg what a mess seriously the smell of damp was terrible and the toilet rolls in the gents where damp wash Bains’s where loose on the walls and damp black patches everywhere. We are sorry but we won’t be returning here this establishment needs serious money spent there. God help the place I’d say !!!!!!!

We are locals and heard good things about the Sunday lunch so 4 of us and a baby went to try it out. 3 lambs and 1 beef brisket - nothing more to say than delicious. If it was acceptable to lick my plate I would have done. Best gravy ever. The place was full of locals which is always a good sign. Da iawn wir.

We've been in a few times for the sunday roast and it's been stellar fare every time. What a brilliant place, and what fantastic food! Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg, a mae'r staff yn amhyneddgar a gyfeillgar. There's always been a tap of Hopus on, a local brewery, and it's great stuff to pair with the seriously tasty dinner. Da iawn a diolch yn fawr!

Wedi cael cinio dydd Sul bendigedig yn nhafarn Tyn Llan - cig eidion blasus dros ben, diolch yn fawr Nic & Scott Quinnell

Cinio Dydd Sul fendigedig. What a fantastic Sunday lunch we had today. The mashed potatoes were amazing. The staff were lovely and the pub was very well run We will be back very soon. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

I went there with ex work colleagues this evening. We had a festive menu and opted for the 'mini Christmas dinner'. This was a choice of turkey or beef. The plate that came out was fantastic, and definitely wasn't 'mini'! The food was lovely the roaring fire was lovely. A superb local pub 👌😍

We had tried and failed to make a booking here until today! We had heard good reviews about the food and we were eager to try for ourselves....we were not disappointed. The sunday roast was absolutely delicious and perfect in every way. Creamy mash beautiful cooked veg massive yorkshire everything was just so tasty...we had the Lamb , Turkey and the Mushroom Wellington we all enjoyed the food no complaints whatsoever...puddings were delicious also very reasonable prices....we will most definitely be back....Highly recommend Diolch yn Fawr .

10/10 meal couldn’t fault a single thing. Came here with the family for dinner, and also came to the bar multiple times throughout our trip. Service has always been faultless the staff are so friendly. The food was up there with one of the best meals we’ve had. Would highly recommend

So glad to have found this hidden gem. It just goes to show that pubs that pub companies/brewers cannot make viable have a future with the right staff and community behind it. The Harp has been very fortunate to find an excellent manager and chef. The dining area is a little soulless especially compared with the rest of the pub, but it was not a problem to eat in one of the number of areas elsewhere in the pub. The menu is not extensive but I would happily have had anything on it. After due consideration I went for the lamb shank curry, which I had expected to be made from lamb shank, not comprising a whole one.It was huge and excellent, the best pub curry for many a year. My wife had the pan seared cod which was very slightly undercooked as she prefers it, so she was well pleased. It is an adventurous menu which avoids the default of battered cod, so another plus point. In spite of not in any way being a Welsh speaker, I did not feel the pub was unfriendly just because most people were speaking Welsh, this pub is in North Wales after all. The manager could not have been friendlier. Sadly we are only visiting the area so will not be able to give this super village pub the support it deserves. Long may it thrive.

We were staying nearby and wanted an indoor dog friendly pub. We stopped for Sunday lunch and it was the best we have had! Meat was cooked so well and absolutely delicious. Amazing food, big portions, fast and friendly service. Would definitely come back just to visit here. Also offers vegetarian option and gluten free gravy. It’s worth ringing to book in advance as it’s popular. Especially if you have a dog, so they can get you a table with space for them.

Lovely Sunday lunch and great service from all the staff! Highly recommended! We will be back looking forward to try the evening menu!

Tyn Llan is a grade 2 listed historic building, built in the 1860’s and has retained in unique charm to this day. Having closed in 2017, the community came & worked together and invested in the venture and as a result of their hard work and tenacity, Tyn Llan was reopened on a temporary basis in December 2017. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength providing many community based activities such as coffee mornings, live entertainment, bingo night, walking club as well as French and Welsh conversation sessions. They now offer food from Wednesdays to Sundays and if you enjoy great food, you must pay Tyn Llan a visit! Four of us booked a table on Saturday night and as soon as we arrived, we received a warm welcome from David the manager and the bar staff. The menu choice is varied and offers something for everyone. Two of us had the belly pork, one had the duck and the other had the lamb shank curry. For dessert, we shared 2 toffee sticky pudding between the four of us, again this was divine and a generous portion. The food was of exceptional standard and well presented, I can honestly say it is the best meal we have had in the past few months. We enjoy eating out in various restaurants and do so on a weekly basis. The chefs at the Tyn Llan have definitely exceeded our expectations! Diolch yn fawr/thank you for a lovely evening……we will be very soon!

We visited here before the community bought it, and always liked it, Very sad when it closed down, but the local community have work hard opening it again to a high standard, Beautiful pub in Llandwrog with a shop selling gifts, and local produce , music events, and a gorgeous beer garden . Staff were very welcoming too. No food unfortunately as the Chef was sick but look forward to visiting again when we will eat there hopefully.

Croeso cynnes, bwyd arbennig yn ystod wythnos yr Eisteddfod. An excellent find and definately worth visiting. A warm Welsh welcome, excellent service an food. What else do you need?

Excellent Sunday lunch. Really tasty, homemade food beautifully presented. The lamb was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. Had chocolate torte after, absolutely wonderful! Welcoming and friendly staff, looking after all the customers.

We received a welcome as soon as we arrived, a varied choice of beverages available and an excellent pint of Madri on tap. We chose a Sunday lunch and the 3 of us could not fault the food, delicious meat with a lovely array of vegetables and potatoes. The food was well cooked and presented perfectly. We will highly recommend this little gem , 5 star customer service from start to finish with top notch food and drinks. The waiter Corin was pretty awesome too !

Been a few Sundays and seen great Sunday roasts sodecided to try it for lunch. A real disappointment, poor menu with only maybe a third available. Ended up with dry chips, cold peas but scampi(frozen) ok. Not even a busy Friday. Not recommending another time

We have visited here after hearing really good things about the food and we weren't disappointed. We both opted for the Tuscan chicken with Mediterranean vegetables and sautéed potatoes. The chicken was cooked to perfection as was everything else... But the sauce was out of this world! The pub was busy which was lovely to see and there was a nice atmosphere. The service was spot on. Every member of staff were friendly and professional. Also looking over at other people's meals you could tell everything down to the onion rings were home-made! We can't wait to visit again. Diolch yn fawr!

Popped in on the off chance as we were staying in the area, and received a really warm welcome from staff and customers alike. What a wonderful old pub, and what a fantastic gesture from local people coming together to save it. We loved the atmosphere & the old world charm. The food was amazing, we opted for the special dish of the day which was absolutely delicious, ( locally sourced bacon chop ) with an orange & tarragon sauce with dauphinois potatoes & perfectly cooked vegetables on the side. All washed down with a really decent glass of red wine & according to my husband a spot on pint of Guinness, there was a really good children’s menu, & the sticky toffee pudding was to die for, can’t wait to return to this lovely little place. Thank you for your hospitality.

Went for dinner after a walk along Dinas Dinlle. A very friendly, welcoming pub. Good food. Great atmosphere. We'll be back.

This pub has great potential, but they're not there yet. I have been an occasional visitor for over 20 years, and I'm aware of the improvements which are coming (in 2024?) but the interior hasn't been touched yet. The basic, dated furnishings and decor are grim, and the attitude - if you don't speak Welsh - is begrudgingly polite, nothing more. The garden is tidier nowadays, and the ale is decent. The menu looked uninspiring but when the imminent major refurbishment happens, it will need a lot more to justify the investment and encourage more trade.

Rwyf wedi bod yn Nhafarn Ty’n Llan cwpl o weithiau erbyn hyn. Mae Ty’n Llan pob amser yn llawn bwrlwm, gyda’r staff yn ofnadwy o gyfeillgar ac yn barod i helpu.

The mother of all pubs! What can I say? Ty'n Llan is simply the best pub I have ever been to. Why, you may ask? Unlike most pubs, this one has a place for everyone. Families, couples, teens, children, sports lovers, etc. It's the perfect...

The bar service and atmosphere was very good, but the food was not good. This surprised me as the food has been good in the past. We all had Thai Chicken curry and regretted this choice as the small amount of slightly flavoured chicken came...

Called in on a whim after visiting Porthor and Aberdaron. “Just” a coffee and chocolate brownie. Fabulous brownie and excellent coffee. Fresh flowers on the table and a really warm welcome. Diolch / thanks.

Having experienced chef Taryn's excellent food on a previous occasion, we revisited as a group and our 2nd trip didn't disappoint! Great variety of sandwiches, tasty home made quiche and sausage rolls. When the homemade scones were delivered, so fresh and warm straight out of...

We enjoyed yet another quality meal at Ty'n Llan and equally enjoyable was the convivial conversations amongst staff and locals.

My in-laws and I visited Ty'n Llan for tea tonight. When I ordered, I was pleasantly surprised at how cheap everything came to for 4 of us, and was shocked to see the sizes of the portions! They were big portions and presented beautifully! We...

Spent a ffantastic afternoon at Ty'n Llan, celebrating a friends birthday day with a cream tea that was absolutely delicious! We were warmly greeted upon arrival, and were amazed at the variety of sandwiches and savoury pastries (Chef's own cooked sausage rolls with cranberry 👌)...

We visited Ty’n Llan on Friday for lunch me and my daughter and Tedi our cocapoo. I haven’t been since they re opened and was very impressed! All the staff were so welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. We had a choice...

Closed and overgrown, even the For Sale sign looks dowdy... It looks unlikely to re-open, and sadly there is no pub, shop or any other facility nearby...

Staying elsewhere locally, we popped in for an early evening meal, and considered it great value good food - with an excellent local Welsh bitter. Will return when we come back to the area next year.

Although The Harp Inn was very busy, on a wet evening, space was found for us and we were served promptly. The meal was great and we would go there again when in the area.

Parado para cenar temprano y como está justo al lado de la 499, en las afueras de Caernarfon hacia Pwllheli. Amable dueña nos sirvió con buena cerveza local y disfrutamos de grub clásico pub. El pescado y las patatas fritas se recomienda, con su propia pasta receta especial del chef. Fue muy bueno. Buenas así patatas fritas. Este pub no es lujoso, pero bien merece una visita!

Grupo de cinco 4 comidas muy insatisfactorio, una comida aceptable. Tres platos de carne de ternera con strogonof muy poco en 13 libras/placa. El servicio era pobre, con personal mostrando ningún interés en las necesidades de los clientes. No recomendaría comer aquí. La única ventaja era la calidad de la cerveza con buena calidad de cervezas locales!

Filete pequeño, duro cómicamente salchichas chipolata, patatas fritas empapadas, sobre guisantes cocidos hizo una parrilla realmente decepcionante que es mixto, una pena. Comida aquí realmente ha bajado mal. Lugar muy agradable, aunque espero que mejor porque hemos previamente probado comida mucho mejor aquí.

Las patatas fritas caseras bien... estaban muy bien.No volveremos.En su favor parecen hacer 2 comidas para 10 libras durante el día. Se sentía como que era ese tipo de calidad y a doble el precio del menú.En un buen día, el jardín de la cerveza tiene potencialvisitamos para revisar el lugar como las dos estrellas tripadvisor y recomendaciones locales parecían varían bastante. Nuestra esperanza a traer amigos, no hace falta decir...

Friendly very helpful staff, lovely food, we sat outside on a surprisingly warm day in April there was no objection to the dog being in the garden with us the food was generous portions and really tasty. thoroughly enjoyed it

Gales en febrero puede ser húmedo y frío, pero en este pequeño descubrimiento de un pub era excelente y acogedor. El personal es muy amable y la calidad de la comida. Nos metimos en un rápido para beber y entiendo la siguiente noche para la cena, le pedí por tipo de pastel de carne con cerveza, ya que no me gusta la imitación pasteles de 'tazón de estofado con esponja pasteles o' y nos dijeron después de revisar con el chef, dijo que hornear uno para el día siguiente.El restaurante está cerrado en temporada baja y toda la comida se sirve en el bar, pero estaba todo, incluso los niños s menú, de mayor que la esperada calidad y sabor. Sin duda por encima de la comida típica de bar sirve a menudo.Hay una televisión con todos los canales deportivos y wifi.Así que en el rostro de sólo un lugar normal que superó las expectativas de amabilidad, la calidad de la comida y el servicio; todo lo que todos los pubs deben luchar.

We had been to the Harp many years ago under the previous ownership and were not expecting much as it was starting to get a bit run down, Well what a surprise, a warm welcoming pub with an eclectic mix of Locals, families and tourists all blending together in happy unison, efficient service from the bar with a good selection of real ales, the menu is varied and there is a specials board as well, you may view it as a little pricey but the food is of the highest quality and would put some upmarket restaurants to shame, yes it is pub food but done to the highest standard, a real find and we shall definitely be returning.

I am old enough to recall the days when pubs were centres of their communities: places for locals of every stripe to meet and talk, and where visitors were made to feel welcome. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Until quite by accident I walked...

We popped into this friendly pub ..and ordered 3 ham sandwiches ...the result was amazing!!!tasty fresh bread, home baked ham and it came with salad and chips..it tasted delicious.The staff were very friendly.A great little pub only one around for miles.Lovely landlady and landlord very welcoming.We will definitely eat here often .

it was a nice place friendly people good service etc but the food wasnt up to scratch, non of us rated the meal and there was eight of us, it wasnt cheap either, we were all disapointed and wouldnt eat there again

Called for a few beers and lunch after a long walk, ordered a hot steak baguette with onions, and a bacon with welsh brie baguette, came with chips and salad, just what we wanted. Hot fresh & tastyIt would appear this is the only pub for miles, but we really enjoyed it. Lovely landlady too, chatted loads. We went back for dinner the next night, had a steak and locally caught mussels, again really lovely, very hot and fresh.Good pub food, can recommend!

Just had a delicious meal with the family. Appreciated the fact we could order off the extensive menu or the Sunday Lunch. I had the soup dujour - it was Lovely!!! Cream of chicken soup with mushroom dumplings & chunky fresh bread. Another had the pate & chutney which looked homemade& wonderful. But the welsh rarebit starter was different - expected toast with a creamy cheese sauce , but received thick bread with mustard, worcestershire sauce and melted cheese??? Onto mains- Delicious!!! Fresh cut homemade chips, lovely dusted haddock, the steak & ale pies were tasty too, Roast Beef Sunday lunch had homemade yorkshire pudding !!! Yummy !!Our compliments to the Chef & staff!!! Will definitely be returning!!

Went 4 Oct, Saturday nightBarmaid ignored me, and when I diplomatically pointed this out, had one of the regulars verbally abuse me outside later that nightMeal was well...ish....far too much saltAVOID AT ALL COSTS...

The Harp Inn is just okay for a beer or pub grub at lunchtime, without sounding disrespectful we have ate in better pub type places. The beer seemed to be well kept without doing an audit on the cellar. Beer quality & taste a bonus having worked in the brewing industry for over twenty-five years. The staff seemed okay without entering into a meaningful conversations. Prices would not break the bank. Enjoy! Regards GCD

Location is beautiful with a lovely beer garden around the back, no access through the pub, you have to walk around. Pints were good and service was ok with reasonable prices.

Have been several times after being recommended this place. We have had two great experiences but the 3rd visit was very unwelcoming. Arriving on my own, on a Wednesday about 7:30, just after a large table were ordering. I waited quite patiently till they ordered and then asked could I order any food that could be served the same-time as this large table. Even said I would have any main meal that was easy for them to cook. Bar staff left to check with kitchen to see if this was possible. I was then told that there was no way they could provide any food till after this large table was finished. Maybe because I wasn't a local, I wasn't even offered any alternative. Great shame.

We ate here last week when it was very cold and wet outside. We sat by the fire and we were the only customers in the pub as it was only 4.45 ish. Our food was brought to us quickly and was hot and tasty. The landlady was friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit!!

Hubby treats me to a meal out to save me cooking after a very busy work week, great I thought - meal wasn't. Starter - Chicken & Brandy Pate with apple chutney, sounded lovely, Pate too strong for my taste which is not restaurant's fault but "chutney" was appalling, a bowl of coloured water with sultanas, no taste or texture of chutney and to top it off when I put my knife in it a load of fruit flies flew up and stayed with me through my starter. Mains - we both had the "special" Pork chops with sage mash peas & gravy, too much gravy on plate for me would have been better on the side to add as wanted, mash & peas good although other veg as well would have been nice, the chops however were absolutely appalling - struggled to cut through the meat, very tough, then when I cut second from the bone found blood on the bone and in the middle of the chop meat, told waiting staff but only offered to re-cook chop, by this point i'd lost any appetite ! they then had the cheek to charge us for irish coffees. Lesson learnt, won't be returning ever. over £ 30.00 paid for a meal neither of us were able to enjoy and not an offer of discount or money back. My husband never leaves food but he couldn't eat his pork chops either so goes to show they were poor quality and not cooked.

Went to this pub twice for food during our weeks stay at Dinas Dinlle. The four of us had the Sunday roast beef for lunch and it was by far the best roast i've had in ages. Delicious local meat and veg. Second night 2 of us opted for fish and chips, 1 house curry and a welsh beef stroganoff. All 4 meals were delicious. Nice big portions and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Lovely local bitters to drink. Lovely and earldy worldy inside, like a proper pub should be. Would go back to that area just to go to the pub A****

Food is excellent and its great that they offer a free taxi to and from the local caravan park.I had the steak was it fabulous and even though it was with a large party all the food came out together and everyone enjoyed their meals

We went for Sunday dinner, plenty to eat and good price of meat but an average Sunday dinner. Very quiet pub but interesting. Worth a visit and will try again.

This is a very friendly pub where a smile greats you on entering. All the food is home made and very tasty. I visit once a week and if you need cheering up this is the place to go.

I booked a table for six at The Harp Inn for lunch today. We arrived late and had one extra person and were later joined by an eighth person.Nothing could phase the friendly staff, we arrived at 12.30pm and left at 7.30pm as people were arriving for dinner!!!From the moment we arrived to when we departed we were treated like royalty, we shall be back!!
