The Hayloft Bar And Grill in Conwy

Dined at the Hayloft 13/3 2024 with my husband and we were not impressed with the set meal .Starters were ok but the maincourse of steak pie for me was dissapointing with very hard pastry and my husbands meal of curry was poor. The puddings were a bit strange as my husband had a fruit tart with an odd mix of fruit which included a large piece of pomegranite !

Booked a table of 8 for Mothers Day. Staff were lovely, especially the restaurant manager and the young lady behind the bar. The place itself is beautiful, really spacious and tastefully decorated. The food was average at best I’m afraid. I ordered the salt & pepper squid for starter, it was inedible, chewy and tasteless. The smoked trout starter was however very nice. Mains were fine, nothing to write home about but was hot and portions generous. The puddings were all right, however I ordered a semifreddo, what I got was a cheesecake 😂 my brother in law wanted a cheesecake but saw none on the menu so I swapped with him and had the blood orange tart which had about as much orange in it as a vanilla pudding. What really sealed the deal was the entertainment. Cracking singer and this is no reflection of him AT ALL but my god he was loud. Couldn’t hear a word anyone was saying round the table, it was really awful 😞 I didn’t want to hear Wonderwall and Faith being belted out at full volume whilst trying to have conversations with my parents who are their their 80’s I booked the Hayloft thinking we’d get somewhere really special for Mother’s Day, unfortunately I’d have been better sticking to my first choice of the Queens Head in Glanwydden. Sorry

Very poor. Went for Sunday lunch. Had to ask for someone to take our order for food and drinks. Food came quickly, fully plated and had obviously been standing around for a while. Food was cold. Still no drinks! We waited for plates to be cleared but no one came. We cleared our own plates and left. We told the staff and were told that they were busy clearing another table. There were only about 5 tables occupied and an equal number of staff. There was a complete lack of welcome and service. Very disappointing and will definitely not be returning.

Food was awful -there early yet everything tasted re warned up and not fresh at all. The booking was made at the weekend and it was very quiet which wasn’t a surprise after tasting their menu -no need for a chef there anybody could turn out that standard of food -very disappointing and certainly won’t be revisiting -although a half price offer it was still not worth the money.

Sunday lunch was fantastic. We stayed in the Old Farm house for the weekend, beautiful setting, comfortable room, staff really helpful and friendly. Fabulous weekend.

Fabulous Sunday roast in a warm friendly environment! Good portions lots of vegetables and a large Yorkshire pudding! Trio of meat platter to share with the husband and thick delicious gravy! Just what we wanted.

The setting is beautiful great views across Conwy estuary and mountains. There was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. The service was very good indeed as was the food excellent value for money will certainly go again a lovely lunch with friends.

The Hayloft has so much potential but sadly let down by indifferent staff. This was our 4th visit & unfortunately brought home how little the staff care about their customers. There is one waitress & a young man who are great but otherwise everything is too much trouble & we felt we were treated with distain. The setting is super, food & drinks were very good. I tried to attract someone’s attention for a sharper knife to cut lamb cutlets but the waitress scuttled away if anyone tried to make eye contact. Getting extra water for the table was a long wait! The owner Richard was circulating the tables & I should have raised my concerns then but unfortunately he wasn’t around on our way out. If these young ladies are not prepared to be pleasant & helpful then perhaps they shouldn’t be in hospitality. Sadly this is the opinion of several friends, good place, poor staff. We prefer to go somewhere where we’re welcomed.

Sunday Lunch was lovely, only complaint maybe a little bit more bread with the pate. Overall it was lovely and we will definitely come back

Poor food Chicken nuggets served as crispy chicken Any old meat served as Welsh black how insulting And Turkey slices instead of real turkey

Called in for refreshments while walking in the area. Fantastic find, lovely location, welcoming real fire, dog friendly bar area. Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.

We went on the over 65's 50% off offer but it would have been good value at the full price. The air temperature was a little cool to start but I soon warmed up with some soup. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was excellent - hot, nicely presented and good quality.

We visited the Hayloft for lunch after visiting The Furnace Cafe a number of times. Even though we had our dog with us we were welcomed into their beautiful restaurant, the venue is tastefully decorated and candles create a really cosy atmosphere . Pleasingly, complimentary table water was offered and the table service was flawless. We ordered the burger and chips (off a very wide ranging menu) and were very pleased with our choice. Home made burgers, delicious chips and tangy coleslaw. We were very pleased with the cost of food and drinks. We will return again very soon!

Dropped in for something to eat during the day. We expected to sit outside as we have a dog but they welcomed us inside and made such a fuss of our dog! The place itself is beautifully furnished and, in better weather, the patio area would be a wonderful dining option. The food was gorgeous and the service was second to none. We will definitely be visiting again.

Came here for lunch on Saturday 2nd of September and had a lovely meal. It was really quiet at the time we arrived which was nice as we got some peace. Prices are about what you would expect - lamb burger and gammon came to about £32, which is a more than fair price for what we had, portions were also quite sizeable, and it was delicious. Staff were friendly, the inside is decorated so beautifully too! Overall we would absolutely visit again, can’t fault it.

The atmosphere is lovely (some wobbly cracked slabs outside so watch your step on the way in / out) but generally we were disappointed with our meals. We all 3 ordered roasts, and it looked amazing. But nothing was seasoned, the food came on nearly...

The Restaurant was overbooked resulting in very slow service. We had to ask the waitress if we could have a drink after waiting by the table for nearly 20 minutes. Our starters were good but sadly our main courses were served with several items missing...

Venue has such potential as the interior and decor is great. The service from the waitresses was poor and the food was very poor. Such a shame. Not sure if the food was pre-cooked and just heated in microwave. Very poor.

Sunday lunch today, absolutely lovely. Meat was delicious and everything with it was spot on! Great service, definitely will be going back.

Lovely setting but utterly appalling food and indifferent service. The food was amongst the worst we have ever had - totally inedible. Avoid.

Beautiful venue food was terrible was just like part reheated other half was cold wouldn’t recommend

Three of us had dinner in the very nice restaurant, the staff were very helpful and welcoming, the meal was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful such a lovely evening to the end of our holiday thank you.

We visited previously for Sunday lunch when we would have given 5 ☆. However, we decided to treat a family member to lunch. I booked the day before, and the young man, Josh, was professional and helpful. On this occasion we were extremely disappointed but...

We booked an hour in advance and we’re greeted by a friendly waitress. A lovely relaxed setting, well presented restaurant. A great variety of food available across a couple of menus. All of our food was fab, especially the herb and garlic chicken off the...

Sunday lunch is a 3 course effort. Excellent soup & bread, roast beef, opted not to have the Yorkshire, was acceptable, beef was very thinly sliced, but ok, no potatoes, roasted or boiled, generous sticky toffee pud; very attentive service & lovely surroundings. A nice,...

How can this pace be so bad. The photos show lovely food but ours was inedible. Really bad food. Our server "Richard" was disinterested and rude. Was later told he was the boss. Avoid

It was a little tricky to get hold of anyone while booking to discuss dietary requirements so we ended up booking through the website. Once we arrived, however, the service was first class. Our waitress liaised with the chef who offered a number of additional...

We went for a walk in the Bodnant Gardens and had booked in at the Hayloft for the loyalty card lunch (two courses for £10!!) and it was phenomenal value. The service was excellent as was the selection of drinks on draught - a cider...

Lovely restaurant I have been told it was very good so booked for Sunday Lunch. When the main course came out it look great until we started to eat the beef! Couldn't cut it with a normal knife was going to ask for a steak...

We had been to the hayloft before for a meal which was very nice. Great Sunday lunch perfect food and service lovely atmosphere the perfect end to our weekend. One other thing your furry babies are welcome too.

Disappointed. Came to the hayloft for a drink and just wanted a few nibbles/starters to have with drinks. We were sitting in the bar area which was empty to be told food is for reservations only today, no explanation why. The restaurant only had a...

We had lunch at the 50% discount deal for oldies. The food was excellent, the service was very good and swift, and the price was very pleasing. Coffee by the open fire afterwards. A pleasant friendly experience. Don’t understand why previous reviews have been so...

How can such a wonderful setting serve up such appalling food? Complained to Richard (manager?) who was totally insincere and felt it beneath him to deal with complaints. No wonder the place is a joke.

Photographs of the food look great. Perhaps chef is a better photographer than a cook. Food was appalling and sent back. Staff indifferent. Emailed restaurant twice since but have been ignored. One of avoid.

Family evening meal - fantastic time had by all. Attentive staff, delicious food, very good value for money. Recommend

I have visited twice recently- once for Sunday lunch with family and once with friends for an evening meal. On both occasions the food was excellent, prices in line with other establishment and excellent quality staff were friendly and efficient and to top it all...

The food was simply disgusting. Inedible disgusting. Staff attitude totally unacceptable. There are so many fab places in the vicinity. Avoid.

First of all we would like to say that its a very impressive place with superb decoration. The food was very good, if a little pricey. The staff were generally inattentive and overall were quite disinterested which gave us an odd feeling that distracted from...

We booked for our daughters family and friends meal, there was 13 of us for Sunday dinner. We are local and keen to support locally owned businesses. I have tried to contact the owner and management to discuss prior to this post but no reply....

After a number of problems and a lengthy closure it was good to see the Hayloft open again. Like almost every other catering establishment in the UK the Hayloft seems to be experiencing some staffing issues. The people who served us were friendly and helpful...

We went to the hayloft for lunch and ordered 2 club sandwiches when they arrived one had not been toasted complaint to waitress who was just not interested. A club sandwich is made up of chicken and bacon the only bacon on them was minute...

Generally we had a nice meal here. Firstly the restaurant was very nice and clean plus bar area and toilets. However we did have a few hiccups. Firstly we ordered 5 drinks and two didn't appear dispite us asking again. Finally they arrived about 15...

First visit to The Hayloft (recommended by a friend we were meeting that we had not seen for 30years!) certainly won’t be our last. Excellent food, wine and service. Lovely location and well deserved 5stars Nice to have somewhere to recommend to friends.

What a find. Absolutely beautiful food, service, setting and surroundings. Found when following the sign for Welsh food, don’t miss it, you will regret it. Food was outstanding. Started with salmon and prawn skewer with Asian slaw and crispy duck pancakes. Mains, unusually for me...

The pros: dog-friendly, easy parking, very nice outside sitting and dining area and the inside looked very smart and attractive. Staff were friendly enough. Cons: Attended with a 6 year old and baby. There were no baby changing facilities, so had to go back to...

We visited for Sunday lunch on Fathers Day. I was disappointed to be placed basically in the entrance of the restaurant - a round table with the seven of us squeezed on - when there were other tables out of the way empty for the...

We booked a very late lunch or early dinner- 5pm so we were the only diners. However, the service was great and a nice menu. We both had different versions of the linguine which was lovely. Would go back.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch here and enjoyed it so much, we came back again at the end of our week in N.Wales. Lovely food, but most noteworthy was the warm welcome from the friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit, especially following a few hours...

After a refreshing walk around Bodnant gardens, we wanted to stop for Dinner close by. The locals recommended a brand new restaurant called the Hayloft Bar and Grill. I was a bit dubious at first as it had no reviews and no pictures. What an...
