The Toad in Conwy

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The food is slightly more expensive than most pubs but good value for what you get. The beer is great but sadly only a single real ale. There are some lovely tables in the windows to look out over the bay. The outside space is nice but unfortunately usually in shade at evening time, nice for a lunch from the "Shack" though.

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

Absolutely amazing Very dog (and human) friendly. Service was attentive and prompt. Food was delicious. It is a delightful spot right on the beach with some tables enjoying a beautiful view over the beach. Highly recommend and would definitely return if in the area

Superb food definitely go again

Amazing all round . Very welcoming staff and amazing food . Highly reccomend 👍👍

Best pub in Colwyn Bay for food. Decent beer. We had a lovely lunch, reasonable price. Good service. Only down side was the awful 70's pop tunes.

Fantastic spot to sit out in the sun and plenty of space inside, the food here was amazing as was the beer.

Only popped in as a stop off on our way back from a short break in Anglesey. Thought we'd do a very minor detour to stop for a quick drink instead of using one of the roadside places . Came across the Toad as we fancied a prom walk to stretch our legs . What a nice find . Tables outside were all full so we took ourselves inside . Didn't manage to grab a window seat but we could see the sea from where we say . The venue looked fab but we didn't want anything really. But we gave in and tried the mushroom pate . Fabulous. And we spotted the roasts in the next table which looked delicious. The team serving were really pleasant and cheerful especially it was quite busy . We will definitely stop again and make sure we eat properly the next time .

The food was excellent. We were a party of 13 and everybody was impressed with the quality of the food served. And the Sticky Toffee pudding is to die for - Super light but very tasty. Would definitely recommend

Great pub. Shame they didn't have any lager but the gin and tonic whilst sat outside was excellent. 🙂

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, can't comment on the food as we didn't eat

Lovely fresh food but a bit expensive for what it is, staff friendly and attentive, pub was decorated lovely and was clean but entrance was difficult to navigate as there are lots of high steps to gain entry, the view was nice right on the beach front

The staff was very friendly and we had great service. Food was ok

Lovely spot overlooking the beach and sea. Dog friendly, too.

Lovely dog friendly pub and restaurant, overlooking the bay. Make sure you book a table as very popular for food, and very good. Definately worth a visit

Fantastic. Warm welcome. Some of the best food that can be found locally. Great beers and good prices. We will be back.

Great spot to have dinner and it has a lively atmosphere.

Booked us in at short notice,Thankyou. Lovely Sunday dinner at very reasonable prices,nice polite staff,we will be using this pub again

Visited for Sunday lunch. Both beef and lamb were tender and tasty. Service friendly and efficient Unfortunately no room fir pudding. Highly recommend

Lovely food, the beef was delicious and the portions were a good size. Great service and lovely staff. Will be returning soon :-)

Food & staff excellent as always.

Great meal and very pleasant staff x

Food was great, couldn't fault the service either. They are dog friendly, we called ahead to make sure and they gave us a table in the bar area with a window. Chef even made a burger for our two small dogs to share. Chicken supreme was incredible, could have eaten another plate. Would definitely come back next time we visit, thanks for a lovely evening.

We had a fabulous meal, we had the chicken and it was really good.

15 years ago this place was amazing, we would visit at least twice a month. Unfortunately the food is now very average masquerading as something better, and consequently overpriced....... It's very sad because The Toad was a much loved place to both eat and drink especially at weekends for locals, I suspect there has been a change of ownership and/or management. Sadly we won't be eating there again, but fondly remember how it used to be. ADDITION TO REVIEW: Peter you knew us.....we tipped you extremely well every visit, we brought all our family, friends and business acquaintances to eat at The Toad. Your passive aggressive response to my review is childish and doesn't paint you in a good light, that isn't how I remember you. You weren't present on the evening we visited (16.02.23) and I think you may have been shocked yourself if you had been sitting where we were.....my "vague" review was because I wanted to be honest but not personal. You had a great product, I miss it that's all......Good luck moving forward.

Had a drink in here and loved it, didn't eat but looks great 🤩

We were visiting colwyn bay and googled places to eat, the photos and reviews here looked amazing but I can assure you the food was nothing like !! Having been a chef for 30 years myself it was another typical overpriced “ gastro pub “ promising restaurant food but not living up to the mark - the wild mushrooms on the chicken dish were deep fried and chewy , nice produce ruined !!! No potato included in the dish just a celeriac fondant vegetable claiming to be a carb!! Veg over cooked and not great selection , all this for £18 per head - the best thing about the meal was the dessert to be honest !

Had a Valentines day lunch and it was fabulous. Great food and great service. Chocolate brownie desert was the best I've had. An excellent range of food and drinks on menu. Been going to The Toad for over 35 years. Never been disappointed.

Great pub, busy place by the sea. Staff friendly and choice of drinks

Never fails to satisfy the taste buds. Fabulous food.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Decent portions. Both had Roast beef. Friendly and attentive staff. Good location. Clean, and nice cosy decor If you have poor mobility the steps up are quite steep, so please bare this in mind, if you cant get up stairs.

Food very good service ex really nice place to go

Had my second meal here on New Year's Eve, very good food, atmosphere and service, the downside was it stated it would be open until 7pm when we received our sweet which took a while to arrive and only brought 1 instead of two at 5.55pm to be told they was closing at 6pm, we hurried our sweet and drinks because we was the only customers left and didn't want to hold the staff up from tiding up.

Highly recommend this restaurant. What a first class meal we had today at The Toad, totally impromptu and ticked all the boxes. Great service from our waiter Aaron - we will definitely be calling in again soon. What a hidden gem we have on our doorstep. Thank you.

Food so good I had the vegan option with cauliflower steak . It’s was really tasty and the presentation excellent . They have recently renovated inside and it’s look really lovely . We sat by the window with a lovely view out to sea .

Was very impressed with everything the Toad done when reopening! Still today, the very best food, atmosphere, service and warmth you'll find locally 👌

Beautiful Roast Beef and a good cider. Staff very friendly and attentive. Dog friendly too. Lovely location overlooking the beach. Definitely worth a visit.

Everything is perfect. Amazing food. The chips are the best chips in the world. Great lovely cosy atmosphere with excellent service and attention to detail, the staff are super helpful and nice. Good selection of drinks. Dog friendly too!

Called in for lunch after a visit to the beach. Modern pub with lovely views over the sea front. We ordered fish and chips which were delicious and reasonably priced. Service was good and our dog was made welcome. Best pub we found within the local area, would recommend.

Lovely pub, food so tasty and served by friendly staff. Great little find

The Toad does food brilliantly these days. My wife and I have been a few times since the relaunch and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service is top notch too. Can't really pick out a specific dish as they're all nice and well done. Staff are great too. Will be returning in the new year with my brother and sister in law (who'll be reading this! Hello Mark!).

We have always loved the food here but since been taken over and re -decorated etc it’s just perfect! The ambience, staff and food is 10/10

Went for Christmas day dinner with family.The food was absolutely stunning.Arrived hot,sooooo tasty and just the right timing between courses.Staff were very friendly and attentive.Lovely,relaxed atmosphere.We all enjoyed it(even the Northern soul background music).Couldn't fault a thing and can't wait to go back.You all did yourselves proud.Will be looking out for next years booking times for sure.Loved,loved,loved it.Compliments to the Chef/chefs.Thank you all for making my Christmas special.

Lovely place but service was a bit slow

Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely meal. We enjoyed one of the nicest Sunday roasts ever, this evening. Everything was perfectly cooked, hot and very tasty. Fabulous Yorkshires ! The staff were very friendly & helpful. Will definitely be back soon.

The Toad in Rhos on Sea is pure quality Great Views match the Fabulous Food we missed for so long, It's a must try restaurant for parties to a romantic dinner for two..❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great food, good service and friendly

Went for a Sunday lunch. Had the beef. This was possibly the best beef dinner I have ever had. Everything on the plate was good by itself, but together was so so delicious. Small inside and I would recommend making a reservation. Very comfortable with great sea views.

Stopped on a whim for a Sunday roast and so glad we did! Best pub roast I've had in years - all the veg, all the trimmings and giant Yorkshires to boot. Great service too. We'll be back!

The food was amazing as was the service, we will 100% be returning ❤️ when we next visit Wales in December. The meal for 3 including drinks £115 very reasonable.

Had the most amazing meal, well presented, staff were courteous, attentive without being intrusive. I had the sea bass hubby had the belly pork. We will definitely be back !

Booked on line. Table by the window with sea view no problem. Food was top notch as was the service. What’s not too like? My favourite restaurant in Colwyn Bay

This was our first visit to The Toad. The service and food was amazing and the food was piping hot. I had the crispy pork belly, lovely crispy crackling meat was so soft and the pickled red cabbage was gorgeous. (I need the recipe for Christmas Day) 😂. My husband had the Toad steak pie, he said it was delicious. Would definitely recommend this pub

Group party , 23 of us, starters served then mains, timing was brilliant in between starters and main course, all food was amazing, asked around the whole group how was the food and service all answered amazing and they would come again. Thank you to you all for tonight . Wendy and John's Ruby Wedding Anniversary xx

A really chill vibe, very lovely waitress/manager and will come again when we visit 🩵🩵🩵🩵

Not been in a while but they delivered my meal was great and those around me looked equally delicious so I recommend it to all

We were squeezed in at the last minute and got the best service. Despite one of our party arriving an hour late, we were still greeted with smiles all round. Fantastic location, free street parking, sea views and a great atmosphere! The Sunday lunch was fantastic, the lamb was amazing! We couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, we will be back!

Had a fantastic meal on a work meeting, never been before, can't wait to go with family, don't be fooled by a small menu, great quality

An amazing place to eat The staff are so helpful and friendly always attentive the beef two ways was out of this world highly recommended worth every penny

The food on Saturday evening was excellent, and great service. Sitting in the large bay window it wasn't the warmest, but they had blankets available!

The starters were ok, the main was an extremely dry welsh beef pie. It tasted like chicken, I couldn’t finish the meal, unfortunately.

Food not like before. Not best value for what you get

Called here for lunch without any preconceived notion of what was to come. Great location beautiful food and good service from very friendly staff. A great introduction to a visit to Colwyn Bay in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Food was lovely, party of 5 and we all agreed, menu was different, cooked and served well. I had the roasted garlic mushrooms, orange infused pesto, sourdough toast to start, tasty, and the beef cooked two ways for my main. The steak on it was just how I asked for it, beautiful. Staff were pleasant and attentive, atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. The decor makes you want to stay a while. Toilets are clean, always a good sign! I have booked to go again.

Dined here twice and couldn't fault the food or service. The setting is perfect and some tables have fabulous views over Rhos-on-sea beach. One day I ordered the Sea Bass main course which was cooked perfectly; the fish was moist and tasted fresh. The choclate and orange cheesecake was delicious and presented to a very high standard. The second day I ordered the steak pie which was also tasty. Quite a dry filling but the quantity of jus was just right to help allieviate any perceived dryness. The sticky toffee pudding (STP) was served with a delicious date purée. If you're looking to dine in the area I would highly reccommend booking in advance as it seems to get busy.

A must place to visit. Fantastic and plesant staff. Gorgeous food. Plenty of wines and drinks to choose from.

Great location serving excellent food. All in all great place for dining.

Not open Monday or Tuesday! Looks nice from outside. All the fire damage has been replaced.

Service and food was excellent, we both had the beef two ways and it was fabulous. My only observation would be that in a gastropub there is always a place for a simple steak and chips.!!

A lovely wee spot. Good service, great window views and cosy.

Lovely, enjoyed the food and surroundings

Came at about 4pm on a Sunday, took a chance on trying to dine and the manger did everything in his power to get us a table, booked us a table for 5 and as we waited outside for a drink let us know a table had become available. We all had the beef sunday dinner and it was amazing. One of the best sunday dinners we’ve had and will definitely be back :)

Lovely lunch and an enjoyable afternoon with friends. Fabulous view from the window table. Responsive and helpful staff, especially when I suddenly felt very cold and a felt/fleece wrap was provided to help keep me warm - thank you!

Amazing spot for some really nice food and great views

Good food with varied menu. Pleasant atmosphere with good views out to sea. Access up steps so may be difficult for disabled. Small car park but plenty on street of parking nearby. Many gluten free options.

amazing location, gorgeous gourmet food, certain members of staff could be little more, let say, better listeners, overall a positive experience, definitely would recommend as worth visiting

First time back herd following it's closure due to Las year's fire. The decor is superb 👌 and the food was delicious 😋 . We all had the Welsh Lamb which melted in the mouth and the accompaniments were delicious. ❤️❤️ The only niggle was thd staff only addressed we "guys" and not the girls. Please drop this Yankee annoyance, we're male and female.

Great food - both choice and quality, warm welcoming feel, good selection of drinks.

Staff were too busy trying to sleep with each other to be bothered with customers it was awful
