The Slate Restaurant & Bar in Gwynedd

Nice comfortable hotel. Would stay again. Idea base for Zip World Adventure.

Lovely free stopover on our motorhome trip. Very friendly hosts, happy to have a pint and stay on carpark.

I had my 80th birthday lunch with family and friends, friendly and efficient service fantastic food highly recommend a visit you won't be disappointed e enjoyed by all

Great food evening on 2 nights and lovely Sunday lunch. Staff lovely. Very quick in serving food. An excellent chef and well presented.

Really tasty food and staff very helpful and accommodating

Everything about this place was perfect. Most importantly the food - it was delicious, the best Sunday dinner I've ever had. Highly recommend and would return.

Wow what amazing food! The atmosphere, the staff, the food 100%! We ordered the Tryfan sharing platter, wow! How much food was on it! Delicious, we actually ate more than we ever do, it was absolutely out of this world! We tried our best but didn't quite finish it,, but we gave it our best shot!

Had a lovely overnight stay at The Slate, the staff were really nice and the evening meal was fantastic. The room was good value for money and it's a nice rural location.

The staff are lovely and welcoming. The room did the job although the shower is a bit old fashioned with one fixed point not especially highly placed. The bed is of high quality and the cleanliness is good. But the food is pricey for the quality (which is good) from what I saw. The breakfasts need to push up to the quality of the other food offers at the slate. Satisfactory but room for improvement as they used to say on old school reports. An enjoyable stay overall, thank you.

On entering the Slate Hotel reception, it had a lovely cosy feel. All the staff were welcoming and pleasant. The room was spacious and comfortable and we had a good nights sleep in the comfy bed. We ate in the restaurant on the day we arrived. The food was well priced, plentiful and delicious. We booked here as a stopover before catching an early morning ferry the next day. We would definitely stay there again.

I stayed 2 nights here. My room was decent. The single bed was comfortable. I did find some rubbish leftover by, I assume the previous guests living in that room (underwear clothing tag, sweet wrapper). The room was also right above the restaurant area and car park, so it got noisy sometimes. Bathroom was small though, and the basin tiny. The shower drain wasn’t working very well. There was no stand in the shower to put your bottles of toiletries, bit inconvenient. Breakfast was good. Big portion for the main, however i do wish there were yogurt / cut fruits as well and not just some cereal. There seemed to only be one waiter at breakfast, who was also managing the reception part so seemed quite understaffed in the morning and service can be slow. I had dinner here one night, had scallops for starter and then their catch of the day as a main. Both were delicious. One of the highlights of staying here was seeing a peacock next door sunbathing and ruffling its feathers.

Had the Sunday roast. Surprisingly Yorkshire puddings are included in the price of the roasts since it looked like you pay extra. Food was very nice and perfectly done. We did find it quite pricey though. For 8 of us, no starters or puddings, was £210. And two were just drinking water. Be aware..

We had the mixed meat sharing Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Plenty of everything and lovely and hot, we will be returning

We had the roast - beef was particularly nice, gravy too. The roasties weren’t quite crispy and there was quite a lot of mashed veg which isn’t my preference, but great value for money and nice staff.

Went for Sunday lunch, and am sorry to say it was such a disappointment. The pate’ starter was presented in an espresso cup but was clearly a slab of pate’ that had been squashed into the cup as the rind was mixed inside. The scallops where charred (burnt) and had to be sent back The Beef dinner was pleasant but was let down by the inedible starters. Staff were pleasant though.

Just returned from an Easter Sunday Lunch at The Slate, place was full of atmosphere, and as usual - the food was exceptional. Best Sunday Roast around. We went as a table of 8, the service was superb, just a really good experience. When a team can pull off a packed Sunday Roast with many happy customers, then they are certainly doing something right! Would highly recommend.

Went there for a friend's birthday. Its a bit out of the way, not nearly enough parking so must be a nightmare for neighbourhood with people parking outside their homes. The food was OK, nothing to rave about particularly given their prices. The service was exceptionally poor. We waited nearly 40 minutes to get our drinks, our food for a party of only 5 came at different times so we didn't eat together or the first plate to arrive would have been cold. Coffees brought at the end we're wrong. It was a bit of a disaster. We won't go again. The place was packed and the table next to ours were overcharged for a number of items they didn't get. Perhaps they should book in fewer tables and deliver a better service.

Last minute booking, unsure what to expect. The lady who checked us in, was so welcoming and lovely. ( checked in 24/02/24) Food was beautiful and service was great.

We enjoyed the food on our recent family visit that we returned again, as a couple this time, within a week! Food again was wonderful. Great atmosphere- we were in the bar area - and although I wasn’t overly fond of seeing 3 dogs there amongst the diners it didn’t affect our enjoyment of the evening. Staff are all lovely and friendly. Apart from the menu provided , they do have a ‘catch of the day’ and ‘specials ‘ with steaks but I think the staff should mention these when you arrive at the table and not when asking for your order. A very minor gripe. Definitely recommended.

Owners arguing,left to eat in bar not restaurant. Food was very poor,felt ill after.i,d avoid here

So dissapointed having heard a lot about the restaurant ! Service terrible ... long wait & food not the best ! Frozen chips & Pizza was terrible ... could hardly cut ! There for an 80 th birthday celebration so not happy !

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. We called last minute for a table of 8 and managed to get in and got some delicious meals.

Had a lovely 3 course meal with family members. You are made really welcomed on arrival. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The food was off high standard on presentation and excellent. The bar area is very relaxing and friendly. Well worth a visit. Has a good reputation.

Beautiful food, great service and warm, friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again!

We stopped off for a meal on Monday. Just curries on the menu. They were fantastic. Complex spicy flavours, some of best I have had. And, always the sign of a good chef, my wife needs a low fat diet so he made her a special low fat curry from scratch that was also delicious.

This is the best place around Gwynedd and Anglesey for your Sunday Dinner. Personally you cannot beat the Beef Brisket dinner, Apparently slow cooked for 16hrs and so good. You get all the rest trimmings which is also perfectly cooked and plentiful. Advise to book, The bar is also dog friendly.

We visited this little beaut on Saturday as we where going on the zip line that day also , it's literally 15 mins away if that . Wow , it's so cosy and enviting the warmth of the place just engulfs you 😊. The staff where so friendly and down to earth The drinks where good value also instead of costing half your mortgage 😝. We had the breakfast which again was equally as good as the rest of the place , very nice 😋! The rooms very cosy a little cold on an evening but heyho . Only downside was the bed was a bit to hard for us . But that did not effect our stay or our view on the place . Absolutely stunning definitely go back again Thank you to all the staff 🙏 yous made it special

I visited The Slate for 3 evening meals in December 2022 as a solo visitor whilst my wife was in a near by hospital. The Bed and Breakfast I was staying at recommended The Slate as a quality dining hostelry. I telephoned ahead to see if a table was available and they were kind enough to squeeze me in . The food was a delight to the eyes and the taste buds . Each day has a changing menu depending upon availability and usually has at least six alternatives for each course. My first meal at The Slate was an uplifting and relaxing meal after my hospital experience earlier in the day. I had a Parsnip Soup as a starter as I had not eaten for most of the day. The delightful soup arrived in an usually angled dish and meant I had to take a photograph before eating the lovely warm bread and smooth soup. I had ordered a sausage and Mash for the main course and again a 'towering' visual spectacle appeared. The top of the tower was 'capped' by a dome of battered onion 'rings' . The sausages were tasty and 'melt in the mouth' and a rich sumptuous Gravy rounded off the whole meal . I had to see what the third course would be like with a 'Crunchie Waffle' for the dessert. It again did not disappoint with a Waffle topped with ice cream and toffee sauce with grated Crunchie bar over the top all delivered on a 'Slate' plate. I must also, as a long term Camra ( Campaign for Real Ale) member, say how impressed I was with the Bragdy Lleu Bendiglidfran red real ale . The Slate usually just has one real ale on from Bragdy Lleu but I can highly recommend the policy of having one very well kept beer. The staff are kind and welcoming with good knowledge of food and drink . They made me feel as if I had been going to The Slate for years after my first visit and the interest shown in my wife's medical condition. The Slate has a 'modernised' comfortable interior with multiple spaces over two rooms ( The bar and the restaurant) and yet it retains a calm atmosphere with the thick walls dampening the noise of numerous groups enjoying the delights if the Slate. A lady from a table in the next space came across to apologise for the noise her child was making whilst playing with toys on the floor . I replied that I had not her child and was so glad they were all able to enjoy the space and food as a family . A car park is on the left handside of The Slate and the brown tourist signs can lead you to the place although they can be easily missed. It is not far from the main A55 and well worth the five minute detour to seek it out. As an all round experience I can highly recommend The Slate as one of the best I have ever visited . It is not cheap but given the quality of the food but it is not ridiculously expensive either . Do check in advance before visiting if you can as the The Slate can be busy especially if you are in a group and not just a solo like I was!

What a beautiful place. Superb menu. Delicious food. Tasty side dishes. Huge portions. Lovely decor. Level car park. Didn’t hear any piped music. Busy but not loud. Nice to see people just having a drink.

Arrived 15 minutes early for our lunchtime booking for two. Were welcomed and taken to our table. Drinks ordered and delivered to the table before we had finished looking at the menu. The great friendly and professional service continued throughout our visit. It was busy but we were served our great duck late starters just as we wanted. The main Sunday beer lunch arrived in good time and was delicious. The best melted in your mouth. Add a great pig in blanket as it is delicious. We were to full to have anything off the ample dessert menu. Will certainly be back and would recommend the restaurant to anyone who likes delicious food and great service.

Had a delicious meal here. The ambience of the restaurant/hotel was spot on. Warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Attentive service throughout, they even recommended local gins and beers. This place is not one to be missed.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here! Attention to detail and staff were helpful and attentive. Would recommend booking ahead! Not to be missed!

Group of us ate supper after a long walk in the mountains. Each of us raved about the food, from starter to dessert. Service was efficient and friendly. Well done The Slate. Will be back soon hopefully.

Lovely decor, friendly staff, well mixed drinks, good music playing too! A very pleasant couple of hours.

Really enjoyed every dish/cocktail, 10 out of 10. We had the hake and baked cod for mains, mushroom crostini to start and sticky toffee pudding to finish 👌

Unfortunately a poor Sunday dinner and won’t be visiting again. First time we came about 12 months ago it was really good food here but seems to have gone down hill. We all had Sunday roasts. From the time of ordering it took 45 minutes...

Upon arrival the lady didn't know where we were supposed to be seated and had to find out. They didn't have several of the mains on the menu which left our options limited. We ordered bread and olives as a starter for the table which...

Looking forward to Sunday lunch as we had heard good things about the Slate but what a disappointment it was. I contacted them beforehand to ask if they always had a nut roast on the menu and was assured they did so was very disappointed...

Have just had Saturday lunch at the Slate with friends we hadn't seen for two years due to Covid. The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly, overall a very very pleasant lunch.

The staff we’re brilliant!! Most of the food was good but the salt and pepper chicken strips were extremely disappointing! No peppers or onions or anything to say they were anything other than over priced deep fried chicken!

Slow service, over 20 mins for drinks.to arrive. Beer was off and needed to be sent back. Missed the bread off the starters. All seemed a poorly managed.

Came here with my nephew. We were both impressed with the great food, big portions (couldn't manage a dessert), and modern decor. Toilets were absolutely spotless. Beer was pub prices. Recommend the lasagne.

The staff were very friendly and it was a nice location and decor, however the food was sub-par. One of our party ordered the lamb shank to which we were told the price was incorrect on the menu and was actually dearer - how long...

Good food and wonderful Welsh hospitality. We were very welcomed, dog was spoiled. Thoroughly recommend. Great breakfast as well

By far the best food for miles,lovely setting,wonderful decor. Very comprehensive menu,also a great bar to have a drink before dinner.

I'd very much like to give a better review of the charming restaurant and helpful staff, but I just can't I'm afraid. We made a booking in advance and then on the day were told by phone that maintenance issues had closed the kitchen -...

Long awaited meal out and it was lovely. Food was very tasty and the portions were generous. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We will definitely return soon.

Came here for a Sunday lunch, having been in the past. It was ok, nothing wrong with it but no where near as good as last time. There was no cauliflower cheese which they used too which was a shame, and also we paid an...

The food was average pub grub but nothing special. Did think £8 for 3 blobs of ice cream without even a wafer was expensive. At a 6pm booking several items had run out and were not available. Staff were pleasant but service was poor. We...

We stayed at the slate and ate in their restaurant. Food was fantastic lovely staff. We weren't rushed. Will visit again

Great menu and the food was lovely. Duck was perfectly cooked and partner had chicken supreme which was great. Cardamon creme brulee with sorbet was excellent. Please visit when you can.Only downside was a very large party with young kids running about and jumping up and down the stairs. It was later on a Friday night and spoilt the experience. I appreciate that the venue is not responsible for people' behaviour but if trying to create a higher end restaurant then might have to a) ask the respective clientele to control their children and/or b) not accept bookings with kids after a certain time. We have 4 children ourselves and whilst we think we would not let them behave like that, it is really hard to keep them entertained in an adult setting at night. Might be best to prevent the situation up front.

Never waited so long for Sunday lunch one and half hours!,and staff did not seem to be that bothered, shame.

great christmas lunch in goos surroundings with great service. Would definatelly come again as it was a missed gem.

Went along to the Slate for the first time attending a Xmas group meal. Thoroughly enjoyed my food as did everyone else around me and the service was excellent. Will definately come again.

Excellent food and service, need to book well in advance. Quiet, off the main road, parking good. Vegetarian food good.

My sister's and I took my mum there for a Sunday treat. Now we wish we had gone somewhere else. My mother and sister's food was cold and had to go back to be reheated. My steak was undercooked and the chips had a funny after taste, by the time staff asked if everything was ok with my meal it was too late to send it back as everybody else had almost finished. I hardly ate anything off my plate and it wasn't cheap.On a positive note the restaurant has nice modern surroundings and is clean with friendly staff. However neither of us will be revisiting.

Always reticent about having a set meal at this time of year but this was the best one yet. Well done. Just a suggestion though...add cranberry sauce!

Top class food with a wide variety of menu items at a decent price. Friendly service. Only negative is the portions are far too BIG!!!!

An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish , could not have wished for more . The food , drink , company and the ambiance brilliant.

The food is cooked superbly, generous portions and friendly staff. Definitely coming back again in the near future. What a find! Would highly recommend.

£103 family of 4. All had 3 courses and a bottle of red. JD sticky wings were special to start, good sizeable portion, wife had Pate once again good portion. Kids got stuck into Calamari. Mains were also good, burger a little greasy, bun a little soaked. Apart from that very very good Modern, stylish, spotlessly clean. Great food pub, Great service Thank you

Very strange place. Left phone message to book but no reply. Phoned again and they'd not had it. Explained it was for a birthday meal. No atmosphere, everything slate grey and looked tired / scuffed, Very quiet at 1.30 pm and yet food seemed to take ages to arrive. I don'y mind waiting for fresh good food but unfortunately the roast beef was as tough as old boots and couldn't be cut ( I noticed the only other couple we could see, had left theirs too after what looked like a fight with it!) Pork was mostly fat. Chips were dry like oven chips. Veg was lovely, cauliflower cheese especially. Staff were not really interested and when they asked ( i don't like complaining) I pointed out about the beef, and they said they'd tell the chef. Didn't see them again after that. Dismal really.

I celebrated my 70th birthday with my wife and our best friends , in the Slate . Believe the 4 of us it was by far the best meal we have ever had . Everything from walking in the door , to leaving was beyond our expectations . Have only praise for everyone concerned .

Was a bit quiet but got busier. Staff very attentive and cheerful and a great range of cocktails. Good menu and the food was very well presented and treated great. Heartily recommend.

Well worth the visit and great value for money! Food and drinks were great and the service was second to none!

We arrived on time and although shown to our table immediately there was a distinct lack of friendliness in the welcome. The waitress who took our order seemed to be new and lacked confidence. The place was very quiet but service relatively slow.While the food was ‘ok’ the experience was disappointing. The place has been given a facelift and was pleasant but spoilt by the cheap plastic flowers on every table. A word of advice- remove them! If you can’t get real ones it would be better without any at allOverall I felt that more attention needs to be given to customer service - a welcome smile, friendly comments, a cheery goodbye (no-one was anywhere to be seen as we left) - would all cost nothing but would transform a cold hearted experience into a place I would want to return to. As it is I feel reluctant to recommend it.

Really enjoyed our meal at The Slate. Quality food, hot, great choice, lots of flavour, not too pricey and lovely surroundings. Minor criticism, the pie had too much gravy which was quite sweet to taste.

Dined here on our recent trip to a snowdonia. The food presentation was great , all of our food was really fresh and tasty ( some of the Hottest Hot wings ever !! ) . Service was just the right pace and all the staff were friendly. And the prices are very reasonable also .

I booked a table for 19.45pm for four of us, to celebrate my birthday. We arrived on time and waited patiently to be greeted and shown to our table - however unfortunately we had to wait a good 10 minutes before anyone took any notice of us. This was after ringing the bell twice and one of my friends having to actually go up to a waitress to say we were here, despite them having passed and seen us waiting already.By the time they got around to taking a drinks order, it was around 8.10pm. We then asked whether the cocktails were 241 that evening - the waitress said it was only on until 8pm. I kindly pointed out that we would have ordered before 8pm if they would have taken us to our table on time! The bar staff agreed for our first round to be 241. Ordered the shin of Welsh beef. I have previously ate at the Slate and had lovely food however I was very disappointed this time. Not sure what had happened but my meal was VERY salty. Wasn’t able to finish it and left feeling disheartened, especially as it was my birthday we were celebrating!There were two big birthday groups in the restaurant that evening. The waitresses seemed to struggle to attend to the big tables and the other people eating in the restaurant at the same time. I think it would help to get more staff on board as they were obviously struggling.Two positives - our waitress was lovely and very thankful when we pointed out there was a leak from above our heads.Also - cocktails very nice!

First time visiting on a Sunday. Food was very very nice, we had a steak and ale pie , chicken stir fry, and a roast dinner - all was great. Only suggestion would be maybe offer the option of a smaller appetite portion, my grandparents had the stir fry, which was quite a big portion. I love big portions but some don’t, and it’s a shame wasting such good food.Will definitely come again , thanks :)

We live within twenty minutes of The Slate and had heard good things about the food there, so decided to book a table for four to celebrate a birthday.The Slate is well sign posted, so easy to find. On arrival there is plenty of parking and two entrances, (one would be suitable for disabled access into the restaurant). We went to the main entrance at reception and was shown through to our table.While we were waiting for the two other members of our party, we noticed that the restaurant was filling up and it sounded as if it is used by the locals, which is always a good sign!The food was fabulous. We couldn't fault any of it. The service by the friendly staff was great and the venue was lovely too. We will definitely be returning.

Funeral party arrived not greeted. Tea and coffee in flasks Luke warm. Plates of scones with over whipped curdled cream no butter. Scones so dry had to try find someone to ask for some. Not once did anyone come and check us.

Me and my partner booked a table here on a Saturday night on our visit to wales! And I can say I will defiantly be eating here again, the service was exceptional and the food was amazing! Very very tasty and well presented! Definitely worth a visit here!

Called in on the off chance, it looks like it’s been recently done out and finished to a high standard. The food was good, although they did get the order a bit wrong and seems low on staff, so you had to wait a while. But overall nice place

Booked in advance and arrived on time. Waited 15 minutes to be offered a drink, 50 minutes for the starter to arrive and 90 minutes for the main course. When we asked why the delay, we were told that there had more walk-in diners than expected, but the place certainly wasn't heaving. No-one came to explain that the food would take a while. By the time it arrived, we'd lost all appetite and left half our meals. Very unsatisfactory.

We didn’t enjoy our visit here at all. This restaurant has not thought about its vegetarian choices at all. The menu reads very nicely - quite like a gastro pub menu however the standard of food is not even close. Everything was bland. Two of our party had the arancini, which just didn’t taste of anything at all - two big balls of very bland and slightly dry ristotto with nothing else to make the mouthful more interesting. The black pudding starter was very small. The mussels were good. The only vegetarian starter was the bland butternut squash arancini and then for main it was either a ‘burger’ or butternut squash risotto for main. I’m never impressed with vegetarian ‘burgers’ in a place like this so asked if I could have the pea risotto without the chorizo and to swap in cheddar instead of Parmesan. The waitress went to the kitchen to check and assured me that was fine. I was then served a big bowl of the butternut squash risotto. When I queried this, I was told that they couldn’t take the chorizo out of the pea risotto. I’m not quite sure why she had told me they could and then just brought out the risotto I specifically told her I didn’t want, without even mentioning it. All very odd and not great service. On top of that, the risotto was just a big bowl of bland rice; every single mouthful was the same tasteless mush. Usually when vegetables are added into risotto, it is to add flavour and texture. The bits of vegetables cut into this did neither so it was a very poor dinner. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all and absolutely not if you are vegetarian or vegan. I’m so disappointed with our dinner tonight and how much we paid for it. Overpriced food as the quality was so poor. If only the execution of the dishes lived up to the sound of the menu.

Have visited before for lunch but had an evening meal last night in the restaurant. Food was very good and also good value but the service was very poor. There only appeared to be 2 girls waiting on between the restaurant and the bar dining area, they weren't attentive or really helpful and there was a long wait for drinks for everyone in the restaurant apart from a large table of girls who's cocktails seemed to appear as soon as they'd ordered. A young couple walked out after an hours wait for their food-poor things.

Stayed for one night with our daughter who was running in the Menai 1/2 Marathon the next day. The accommodation and food is superb. The bedrooms are tidy and clean and spacious and assist with the overall comfort and standard set by The Slate. Well located on edge of Bangor set away from the A55 and A5 junction. I am a former loco spotter so the close proximity of the Holyhead - Chester railway did not bother me but some folks would have to keep their bedroom windows closed overnight. A bit stifling on a hot summer's night !!

We just come back from a delicious meal at the Slate. There were four of us and the choice on the menu is well spread with enough to please anyone. Prices are reasonable and the food was much better than any chain restaurants you may go to. Being a Wednesday evening, the restaurant was very quiet as we were the only customers there although others were eating in the bar section. If you want good food, good service and a friendly smile, try it.

Mothers 69 birthday. Great service once agian...same friendly staff as always.. food great and staff welcoming..cozy environmemt. Credit once again to all staff.

Two day business trip - great breakfast / evening meal. Lovely staff nothing too much trouble. Would stay / eat again.

A sunday lunch that never gets repetitive.Different veg most weeks,cooked to perfection.Not the soggy stuff you get in a carvery.And the Welsh Black Beef sourced locally,cooked medium rare is the Best! (ask for thin slices) I come here most sundays as it has a nice relaxed, no rush, sunday 'feel'. Staff are all very friendly and make you feel welcome.Not many other places in Bangor you can have a quiet pint whilst tucking in to your sunday lunch and watch the footy in HD all at the same time. Highly recommend! Many thanks. See you Sunday

Called sixteen months ago and, despite an excellent lunch decided never to return as an avaricious policy of adding a surcharge to credit card payments was in place. However this was removed so my wife and I took a had a long drive from our location in North Wales and enjoyed an excellent lunch, nicely presented and served in a pleasant environment. It was well worthy the diversion!

Had a lovely lunch here with the wife, I had the Meatball Marinara sandwich which was amazing, and my wife had the fish cakes which she described as the best she's ever had. We highly recommend you check this hidden gem out whenever you are in the area.

I am sorry to put up a bad review, but I’m afraid I have to. It started with a 30 minute wait for the order to be taken and then when the starters arrived one had been forgotten. Then four main meals arrived and the other two came 5 minutes later. Why can’t kitchens deliver all meals at the same time? Finally when deserts came once again one was forgotten also the coffee machine was not working. I think we were unlucky, there was a big party in and I felt the kitchen couldn’t cope. We have heard nothing but good reports but for us it was not a good evening.

Four of us went to the Slate restaurant just out side of Bangor North Wales for a Sunday evening meal.The decor was clean and well presented, the staff were polite helpful and friendly. As it was a Sunday the menu wasn’t large which could have include more vegan/vegetarian dishes.There were no complaints about the first course. I had fish and chips which was one of the nicest that I have eaten. Others had the steak which they enjoyed. The sweet was as nice I had crumble and ice cream.Food prices on the whole were reasonable, but I did think the price of the sweets was a bit on the high side for the amount on the plate.Would I go again, yes of course I would x

I went for the 'light bites' lunch menu, and opted for the Beer batter fish and chips.Lovely light batter and well cooked fish. Nice 'chunky' chips and accompanied with a glass of Purple Moose beer. Great place for a meal, it is on the 'old' A55 road just outside Bangor, and though slightly off the beaten track - worth finding!!Recommended.
