The Toad in Conwy

Amazing food and customer service

Such a great atmosphere food and views!!

The food is always nice here. I had a beef roast dinner this time, and it was lovely. I've had lamb here before, and the beef was much better. My friend had sea bass and was disappointed in the portion size, but mine was more than enough. The staff were friendly. It's a dog friendly pub, which I'm happy with, but my friend found the barking annoying.

There was a problem with the booking but Pete sorted out and found us a table. He then Came and said he had a better table overlooking the sea view. We decided to stay where we were but really appreciated the offer. Food was amazing and service and all staff brilliant

Lovely atmosphere, recommend if you’re planning on a few drinks. Visited on Mother’s Day and imagine it had been busier earlier but portion sizes were clearly reduced vs examples on Instagram despite the cost remaining the same. Cannot justify paying £18 for a roast 2/3 of the usual size.

Fantastic place, we were lucky enough to walk in and get a table, but would highly recommend booking! Food was delicious incredible flavours and textures, fish was just melt in the mouth with light crispy batter. lovely staff and vibe, gorgeous place to slow down and enjoy the seaside!

The toad is fantastic for a nice meal out. It offers fantastic pub grub at a reasonable cost, a dying art in this expensive age. Though the stairs up do present a disability access issue for somebody with arthritis.

We parked on the road opposite, which offers cheap pay and display beside the sea. We were instantly greeted and show to a table inside (with our dog). It is table service, the food was beautiful, we enjoyed mains and dessert. I would highly recommend this restaurant/ pub.

Amazing.. last minute discussion to pop out for a meal.. And wow what a find.. Staff welcoming Dog friendly and fantastic food.. This is how it should be done.. Highly recommend and can't wait to return A**** Mark Alison & Luna the Spaniel

Serves Guinness. Great views of the promenade and sea Wonderful service, staff are very attentive, polite and efficient

Always a warm welcome here. The food is varied and the portions are generous. There is plenty of room and the furniture is comfortable. Great view of the sea if you get one of the tables in the bay windows!

This is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. It was freaking lush.I am so upset my dinner has gone. We accidentally came on holiday to Colwyn bay but this has massively made up for it. Long live the toad 🐸

15 of us had Sunday dinner at The Toad and the whole experience was excellent. The staff were polite and attentive, the food was fantastic and the price was reasonable. Whilst booking the table a week earlier I had spoken to Pete, who did his utmost to get us in at the time we wanted. Exactly what I’d hoped for when I booked it. A great place.

Nice interior, cold atmosphere. Waiting out front for the place to open, you'd think we'd have been welcomed by the staff. All we wanted was a coffee to warm up. Instead a snide comment about what we were wearing and a cold cup of coffee to go. Couldn't drag me back in there. There's comments, and there's courtesy.

Food was perfect, great view friendly staff

The food was excellent and the staff were really attentive and friendly. They were so patient as we had five kids in our party. They even cooked us a dish not on the menu. Great location and views over the sea. Would highly recommend

The Sunday roast was delicious. Pricier than some places, but worth it. It includes cauliflower cheese. Decent beers as well.

first of all i would book in advance so as not to be disappointed, the service and food was excellant , the staff although young were very attentive, will definetly go again was really good

Great service and amazing food, all just as you wish it was👌🏻

Lovely staff and a very well kept pub

Good food done well with captivating views across the bay and attentive polite hosts. Can't ask for anything more, great experience.

Very nice gastropub. Welcoming atmosphere both inside and out. High quality food and drink. A good range on the menu and very consistent standard. The perfect spot for lunch when enjoying the delights of the beach at Colwyn Bay.

Lunch today was excellent both the Welsh rarebit and the coronation chicken were very well presented really tasty. Staff were welcoming even though we hadn’t booked drink and food order taken drinks arrived a lovely glass of Malbec food is cooked to order so it’s fresh and hot

Gorgeous gastropub styli. Exceptional food and service - loved it!

Me and partner went away for a couple of nights in North wales. We saw some reviews so decided to give it ago on our first night, the customer service was excellent with very friendly and welcoming staff, the restaurant itself was beautiful with a gorgeous view and the food was absolutely incredible. We ended up going the following evening aswel as we both loved it so much. Will definitely be going back when we are in the area. Great place to eat and highly recommend.

Although we are fairly local it was our first time here and we were not disappointed the sunday roast was superb and the service excellent , it was a nice touch to ask whether we wanted the beef pink or well done , preferring mine well done many a time whilst visiting other establishment i have had to send the beef back to the kitchen .we look forward to another visit soon .

Warm atmosphere, great sea views, interesting menu and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the mushroom pate starter. We’ll be back.

Driving along coast road in Colwyn and saw the Toad pub; looked nice so we stopped for dinner. Short rib absolutely delicious, battered haddock superb. Pub grub prices for restaurant quality food. Staff were excellent and made it a very enjoyable experience. Can’t wait to come back.

Amazing food as always ,Staff are absolutely brilliant and always so welcoming . Highly recommend. Best Sunday roast around by a mile !

Another fantastic meal today, always a great choice on the menu for everyone’s taste. Lovey to sit in the window and watch the bees h. Great staff and lovely service. Thanks to everyone at The Toad.

Excellent menu and excellent service. Would definitely recommend it to anyone in the Colwyn Bay area, makes for an excellent experience.

We chose The Toad after reading the superb reviews. Unfortunately it was a huge disappointment; the food was at best mediocre, lots and lots of vegetables (which sadly were tepid) but the cod fillet we ordered was extremely small for the £19 price tag. On a more positive note, we had a lovely seat by the window and the waitress was charming.

Absolutely stunning food. A great location and great service

Another brilliant Sunday roast, got a table overlooking the beach. Easy to book online the night before. Always great service.

Lovely lovely meal, I generally look at the puddings and work my way back, the options were great but we had no room! Really generous portions, smart setting and friendly staff. We stayed in Bae Colwyn the night before the Conwy Half Marathon and the braised short ribs (falling apart tender) mash and beef fat carrots really set us up. Keep your pasta and porridge, I'm fuelling up in comfort! Sorry I didn't take a picture to back up my review, we had a really pleasant evening and are planning to go back the night before the Conwy Half next year - challenging myself to a lovely pudding!

Amazing service and food was awesome... owner so friendly. Allowed dogs have treat jar at bar.. lovely setting over the sea. Would definitely be back again... lovely 10/10

Lovely pub with great food. Could do with a Welsh ale on the bar

Due to such awful weather, we were at a loss as to what to do with our day so felt a lazy Saturday lunch was in order. Booked last minute for a table of 10 plus a dog and they happily accommodated us. A great menu made it hard to choose. Very well presented tasty dishes, accompanied with a well thought out wine menu. Friendly and attentive staff - already looking forward to returning!

Good food and nice service. Dog friendly which is a massive bonus! Food came out hot and plentiful. We had the roast dinners, more gravy would be good with the meal but everything was really nice ☺️ the apple pie had lumpy custard which wasn’t too great but tasted nice, all the same. We appreciated that we were moved to a quieter area for the dog. Criticisms would be one of the staff could dress a bit more appropriately; one waitress had clingy leggings on and trainers which I didn’t think was overly appropriate.

The food ,service and wine was excellent and reasonably priced Thougherly recommend a visit We will return soon Thank you

Great pub. Amazing food. Solid beer. Lovely view from window onto beach.

The fish and chips was lovely I need to get the steak pie next .

Food was very good and they were very accommodating to our 10 month old and plenty of space for our pram.

First visit to the Toad and I was pleasantly surprised. Good location with great views across the bay. A really good, lively atmosphere - the place was really busy (and it’s mid-week) so really glad I’d booked a table. We were looked after by a friendly, helpful team who served us with some really good food - this was lunchtime so there was a good ‘specials’ choice as well as the main menu.

Amazing food if you're looking for something a bit special. We wondered if children would be welcome as it felt quite posh, but the staff welcomed us in and made us feel at ease. The food sounded wonderful on the menu and tasted even better.

Went in on a Sunday afternoon on the basis it was a bar and restaurant. On entering we were greeted by a male looking stressed and was very curt towards us. He asked if we wanted food and we said we wanted a drink so we're ushered to 2 places by the overlooked the stairs to the toilet. Busy for food so may be different but definitely not the place just for a drink.

Me and my husband had Beef and lamb roast for main course followed by apple crumble and ice cream . Staff absolutely brilliant. Atmosphere fantastic. this place is outstanding .would recommend it to any one visiting or staying in Colwyn bay.

Best Sunday dinner I have had in a long time the lamb was to die for. Staff really lovely and just such a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

We visited The Toad today for lunch before heading home for our weekend away. We didn't have a table booked but luckily they had room for us. My husband and I had the roast beef and it was easily the best Sunday dinner I've had outside of my own home in years - everything was piping hot and super tasty. We appreciated how welcoming the staff were to our dog and the menu of treats for her too! The pub itself is super cosy and I loved the decor. We were tucked away in a booth which meant we had plenty of room for our family of five but I would have loved to sit by the window if it was just the two of us so we could appreciate the stunning views of Colwyn Bay! We're already discussing a day trip to walk the dog and enjoy a return visit!

Really very good service and quality and quantity of food. Lovely atmosphere background music but not too loud. Great guest beer maybe a but pricey but Lancashire prices are what we are used to.

We called in for Sunday lunch on a friend's recommendation, the last time I visited here was many moons ago. We both only wanted to have a main course, and opted for the Conwy Valley pulled lamb at £21. Absolutely delicious, and accompanied by some lovely veg and cauliflower cheese which was also superb. No complaints at all, very good service as well. Highly recommended.

Lovely starters but disappointing main courses. The service was good and the staff friendly. The pub is lovely and comfortable.

3 drinks, 3 meals, a rabbit chew for the dog. Under £60 less than £20 each. Food was excellent, the staff likewise, friendly and professional. This place is very dog friendly which is great for me and my lads.

Smashing sunday lunch, superb service a great find in an area overlooked due to being close to Llandudno. Seek this venue out, you won't be disappointed.

Dog friendly and close to the beautiful Colwyn Bay beach. Freshly cooked food of great quality. Good beer. Staff are always friendly. Great views of you sir near a window

Loved everything about The Toad. It looks as good inside as it does outside..spotless and you can tell immediately it's very well run. Lovely table by the window with excellent view of the sea.The welcome and service were exceptional. Food outstanding, everything so well cooked and full of flavour, large portions too. An absolute winner, highly recommended!

Really nice relaxed atmosphere & the food was lovely of a really nice quality.

A favourite place of the locals… so you know the food is always going to be good.

A gastropub I didn't eat at given the menu seemed to consider vegetarians an afterthought. Excellent pint of (one choice) ale though. We consumed many. Staff were lovely.

Booked a table on spec off the internet as we were staying the night locally. Our host at our B n B recommended the rib of beef, which we both had and to be honest, was one of the nicest meals we've had....anywhere. Not too pricey and the staff and ambience were lovely.

Excellent staff, great food. Real ale and great wines by the glass. The perfect location and a great meal out. Thank you!

Smashing pub and amazing location

Visited for Sunday lunch and it definitely did not disappoint. I opted for the lamb and it was so tender, tasty and delicious. The veggies were perfectly cooked and the Yorkshire pudding was great. My two friends had the beef and were equally as happy.

Managed to be fitted in despite a very busy evening. Flavour, texture and presentation of food excellent, local cask beer a marvellous bonus.

Friendly pub for people and dogs, with great sea views and plenty of outside seating including deck chairs.

Called in for Sunday Roast , excellent food and value for the money.

We enjoyed the food here. Sea bass with risotto was delicious, packed with flavour. Short rib was good but the carrot could have a bit of crunch and the mash could be more creamy. Service wasn't perfect. Starters which we asked to share were served without extra plates. Staff also left the entrance doors open all night so it got cold and drafty. This place has some very nice tables with a sea view but it also has at least one table next to the stairs that's just depressing if you're unlucky to get it. I'm grateful to the staff they agreed to move us to another table and if not for the draft it would have been perfect.

Welcoming and friendly staff, clean tidy looking place, food was really nice and a good menu with excellent choices etc. Fully recommend.

Booked here for my wife’s 38th birthday on a Saturday night Got seated, had to ask for someone to take our food order, after we were sat for ages with just the drink. It was 50 minutes until the starter come out. Garlic bread with cheese… 50 minutes. Food was nice to be honest but wait time was shocking About 40 minutes later the main came. Haddock and chips, nothing special. Other tables came in after us got there food before us. Was asked if we wanted dessert, I asked how long the wait would be as the wait times were horrific to be told only two chefs on doing everything. Food standard, service was shocking, wait times were worse. Staff friendly enough but clearly not enough of them. Poor service wouldn’t return

We initially walked past The Toad on a Country Walking route and to be honest, didn’t think much of it. 7 miles later and there aren’t many options so took a look at the menu. This enticed us in and the gluten free options blew us away. When the food came it was delicious (could have done with a little more salt in the batter for my taste)! Well worth a visit.

A lovely spot with great views. The food was really delicious, clearly freshly prepared and thoughtful, and the staff friendly. Would visit again.

Excellent place for a drink. Sitting outside, looking at the beach. Did not have food, but it looked lovely.

Good service, special dishes and above all homemade!

Excellent Food , friendly & helpful staff

Delicious meal, nice, relaxed atmosphere & friendly staff

Had a lovely family meal, good food, reasonable prices, good service and dog friendly, great views, will definately return.

Sunday lunch at 6 o’clock for 4 people We had 2 x Lamb 1 x beef 1 x cauliflower steak We all really enjoyed our food (and there was plenty of it!) - it’s not stated on the menu but you also get a decent serving of well cooked cauliflower cheese.

Very nice place to eat and dog friendly, staff were attentive and all the food we had was good quality and cooked well. Would definitely visit again when back in the area.

Lovely food and attentive staff. Recommended.

The staff were great friendly and effecient the food was deasent bordering on good. Great location will go back

Really nice pub will be back again soon

Very good food and service. Nice decor, very tidy and clean Sea bass, Mediterranean risotto. Side dish samphire. Enjoyed 100%.

We came here for a date night last night. I don't know if it was due to the table we were on (table for 2 facing the wine wall. Adjacent to the window seat) It seemed like we were in a blind spot. Took a while for our order to be taken. When I ordered a pint I had to go up to the bar 15 minutes later. Anyway we were handed cutlery for the steak followed by balsamic vinegar and another vinegar. The balsamic one had some fruit flies in it. I absolutely understand these things are pests and are an absolute nightmare to get rid of, but your servers should definitely keep an eye out for this issue. Moving onto the food. The food was absolutely outstanding best steak I've had for a longtime. When finished we told the waiting on staff that we were popping out for a smoke. On return out plates were there and we still wanted to order pudding. After 30 minutes nothing and we decided to call it a night. Sorry I've left a bad review and I hope you take this positively and ensure that table is not forgotten about.

Great seasonal menu, fantastic gluten free options. Good service and atmosphere.

Great local eatery. Very popular. Great selection of draught and cosy spots to sit converse and eat. Well worth a visit.

we literally ducked into the first place we could find to escape a sudden rain storm and it ended up being the toad. We decided to have some lunch and it was amazing... brilliant food and fast service. It was a little expensive but was a great experience. would reccomend

Fantastic restaurant, super dog friendly and great food. only negative was the risotto wasn’t fully cooked and the tuile was on the burnt side but on the whole the food still tasted delicious and generous portion sizes.

Service was great. Everyone was lovely. Specific Thank you Courtney and Megan

You really have to work hard to not only get up the stairs but also obtain a tray of drinks that you are able to get back to your party with. The food is adequate but the temperature of the food is poor. There is no access other than a very steep set of concrete steps - 🪜. Time that they consider their customers and the comfort of those they are earning money from. We will not be returning.

Fab place, right on the sea front.

We were greeted by friendly staff. Service was good and food was faultless. Looking forward to our next visit. Well done team!!

What a great place to eat. We luckily got a sea view table inside. This place is so dog friendly and all of the waiting staff made a fuss of our Sadie. Food was excellent, can recommend the steak pie. Lovely atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

What Google doesn't tell you is that there is a shack (called The Shack) next to the pub (same owners, I guess) who does super tasty sandwiches, fries and sells beers. With a view of the beach and outdoors seating, this is a treat. Super dog-friendly with treats too. Do not miss this place

Such a welcoming place. Great food and service right on the seafront, I’ll definitely be back to eat here again and again.

Great place to relax with superb views over the beach. Book early if eating. Great menu, lovely staff and good service. Good drinks selection. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great atmosphere, a must visit for the food alone.

Amazing food, can't fault it in any way. Both myself and my wife had the beef short rib and the amount of meat you get which just pulls apart with your fork is incredible.

The Sunday Dinner here was 10/10. Our party had the beef, lamb and vegetarian Sunday dinners, and all were spot on. Prices are reasonable and a good selection of drinks on offer. Most staff members very friendly and welcoming. The pub is dog friendly too (inside and out) and has a good beer garden area at the front which overlooks the beach. Toilets and the place in general really clean. Couldn’t recommend more and we’ll look to return mid-week to try the rest of the menu.

My partner and i met there after work for some dinner. The menu looked nice but we were turned away because they apparently have a "strict no workwear policy".

Enjoyed lovely lunch with friends here recently. Good food, good service, staff very nice with prompt service throughout. Only drawbacks were flight of stairs up to building plus flight of stairs down to toilets. Background music slightly too loud and children at next table noisy and running around with parents largely ingnoring them.

Very welcoming, great beer and food
