The Town Hall in Gwynedd

I am a little surprised at the poor reviews because my wife and I loved the food. After a long walk on a chilly day we ordered the pie and mash and the burger, both were excellent. Really hit the spot. We found the service to be quick and friendly. It is clean and there are plenty of tables. Very pleased we had lunch here !

Pie of the day delicious and my husband loved his burger and chips. 5*. Perfect way to finish off the nature walk

The service received here was outstanding. Angharad was watching her customers and each time they needed help, she was there: for example: to help my wife with the coffee machine, to give us more mayo when the bottle had run out and to make sure and serve people who had waited longest: 5 stars to her. The coffee was from a machine so it wasn’t the best and the chips were £4 a portion and over cooked and already salty when they arrived so 2 stars for food. Overall 3 stars: saved by Angharad!!

Excellent chicken burger, with real chicken breast, absolutely amazing.

Friendly welcome and food reasonably priced, but the pizza was very "well done" on the edges (i.e. partly burnt) hence very hard to eat. Thought about having a sandwich and chips which I have to say, seeing other people doing that, I wished I had gone for that rather than the pizza. As someone else said, it is a bit like a school canteen but it was clean and tidy.

Never ever again. Ordered and seconds later our burger arrived Not fresh at all and well overpriced

Called in to have a drink and a cake mid morning, decided to sit outside on the cast iron chairs. I had a muffin and was amazed to see a whole flock of birds wanting to share my cake! Loved it.

Ok so I originally ordered an egg mayo crusty baguette…this arrived and was wet and soggy on top as opposed to a crusty baguette and felt as if it had began to thaw out from the freezer and it was disgusting! So I took it back and ordered a plain ham baguette (crusty as i asked ) as opposed to soggy Egg mayo, surely the ham was a safe bet … but when it arrived it was basically “mealworms” on a plate! .. I mean, who in their right mind minces square / oblong strips of ham and thinks it’s appetising in any other shape rather than sliced? It went back and demanded a refund which I received but it didn’t help my wife still being hungry but put off by the plastic ham mound on her plate, she will be scarred for life for sure!

One of the tastiest ice creams, not only the ice cream but also the waffle😋

Great freshly made baguettes of cheese & pickle and ham & cheese with cold drinks. Service was with a smile, which is always lovely.

Good quality food in a nice location. Baby friendly café with suitable facilities. We had the chicken burger, chips and coleslaw (which was lovely and tasted homemade) and fishcakes with Asian slaw and salad. The staff on the till were not particularly welcoming but our waiter and other staff passing our table were friendly and my visit was overall positive.

The pizza was good; drizzled with basil oil, I think. The interior feels confused. Needs a better layout that is less cramped in circulation, and an interior design worthy of its setting.

food was sad - pizza resembled dr oetker, burned (inedible) on the outside, gooey on the inside, all in a tiny footprint for the sum of £11. service was welcoming but SLOOOOOOOOOOW. had to wait 50mins for 2 sad pizzas. atmosphere was crowded, loud as hell, unpleasant, and seating was dirty.

Generous portions and good quality food in the picturesque village of Port Meirion

On a wet day, what a lovely place to get out of the weather for a little while. The staff were very friendly and there was plenty to choose from, with hot and cold food. Great selection

Amazing little find in Port Meirion, food and service were fantastic. Couldn’t believe the quality and flavour of the food served. 5/5

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The food was great and at a very reasonable price. Clean and in a quaint little spot.

Arrived at The Village close to 5pm when most restaurants were closing. Found my way to the Town Hall Cafe which was still selling desserts. Running out of time, I bought the first thing I saw, a yellow cake with layers of jam, white frosting and chocolate dripping. It was delicious! I have enclosed a picture. Does anyone know what this is called? I would love to get more or attempt to make some but have had no luck with Google searches. Thanks in advance.

We had jacket potatoes which were nicely cooked and I had coleslaw which tasted homemade and it was absolutely lovely! The side salad was fresh and delicious! The chefs seem like a happy bunch, the pizzas looked great too. On a side note. There was a polite lady on the check out, but apart from that the staff seemed more interested in having a chinwag rather than greeting and serving customers. When we first walked in, there were three or four team members having a chat, no one greeted us, we didn't know whether we just walked in and sat down, or if we would be shown to a table? We took a guess and headed for a seat, no one stopped us so we guessed it was right. My partner ordered food and was pointed to the chefs to make an order then pay the lady. We stacked our plates on the tray before we left as we couldn't see anywhere that we should have put them?

We stopped here for a bite after we had walked the village. The food was reasonably priced and the staff were friendly. We sat outdoors in the sunshine and it was so relaxing.

No outside seating available until we had waited around 20 minutes. What wasn't clear was that there was additional seating available inside which we would have preferred. No pizzas or linguine available. To cap it all, two mouthfuls later, the fire alarm went off. There were insufficient staff to ascertain that this was a false alarm and so we all had to disperse, along with our half-eaten food. This increased the waiting time even more, needless to say.

It's a place where you eat. Nothing exceptional but nothing prohibitive either. It's actually a cafeteria.

Amazing place but slow, grumpy staff, cold coffee, bad tea from a machine. Self-service at cafe prices. Avoid.

Wide range of choice , beautifully prepared, delicious and reasonably priced. Very friendly and attentive staff made such a difference. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Friendly staff, clean and tidy place. Toilets & baby changing facilities available. I'd say some of the food was quite pricey yet basic; my tuna & sweetcorn baguette cost £8..

The best bit of our visit to Portmeirion! The fish was freshly cooked and the batter was very crispy. The restaurant served us quickly, and it was good to sit down inside for lunch. However Portmeirion itself was pretty disappointing: We paid £17 to get in and had explored the whole village (the bits you are allowed access to) within an hour, including browsing all the shops. Very touristy, but not a good tourist experience, sorry. The plate of fish & chips was very good though!

Stopped here for lunch. All 3 of us were happy with our Katsu Curry, hot drink and cake. Friendly staff and reasonable price.

Simple if you can not do 1 simple espresso don't sell it. If that gelato shop do that espresso in Italy will be closed in week. And that thing they call Pizza and charge you £10 for margarita, well frozen pizza from tesco has more flavour. Only good thing was the welcoming staff.

Was booked for a wedding when we arrived, so we went to the gelato cafe opposite for refreshments.

Was told do not serve fish & chips anymore , So i had beef something and chips witch was cold/warm the rest of my family had ham salad baguettes, The lettuce looked like last weeks with no tomato or cucumber and the baguettes was rock hard. Would not use the town hall cafe again. Although the cafe was clean.

Looks awful, tastes even worse. Only went here, because I was starwing and there is no alternative.

Very unfriendly 'welcome' being told that it's full (fair enough), and on asking about the wait getting a response with an attitude and tone that made us feel thoroughly unwelcome. Sarcastic explanation that there's no waiting inside due to the pandemic and staff safety, left me confused about what we would have to do to even gain entry

I like pizza they can't make it

Extremely over priced and poor quality! Went with my family. Paid £7 for a sandwich, came with a about 4 crisps and poor salad. £10 fish and chips- wasn’t enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend taking a picnic as all shops are overpriced but the village is worth taking a visit to!

It's impossible not to love this place

for £35ish we were disappointed. As a group of four of us went somewhere else. One of us went for the beef burger, the buns were soggy and the patty was just lighty heated up as if it was just thrown into a microwave quickly. I personally got chicken curry with chips, the chicken was grinded up with chunk of chicken which was fine but the actually curry was very watery , oily and it looked like it was just thrown on the basic chips. My younger sister got a margarita pizza. Dam, I never personally seen so much cheese thrown on top of a pizza. Finally the worst one out of the bunch, the vegetarian curry with chips. Holy, the sogginess of the food made me uncomfortable, the vegetables were soft and mushy which made the chips(same ones as I had with the chicken curry) off-putting.Do I recommend that you eat here? Simply, No. There is a restaurant further down the path which looks way more luxurious and is the same price or cheaper than here.

Good variety menu with good tasting food, and friendly, helpful staff. One of the busier restaurants and one of the best priced, and more tucked away than open to the views, this is much more a family place than many of the others in Portmeirion.

Can't fault the food for what it was. Reasonably priced, tasty enough.There is a large sign in the street telling you to register, order your food, pay electronically, an altogether painful experience, then when you walk up to the building a second sign says if you haven't already ordered not to worry just use the other door.No seperation between those who did order and those who did notTotally chaotic and makes a mockery of any Covid measures put in place

Caesar Salad had soft croutons and chicken so overcooked it was like rubber. All dumped in a box with barely any salad. The chili con carne jacket potato was cold but so spicy you could struggled to eat it. For £8 for a meal it was all really disappointing.

So easy to order online and collect. Was ready in 10 minutes. Very good quality sandwich, lots of filling and fresh. Came with salad, coleslaw and crisps. Would highly recommend

They are trying hard during coronavirus but honestly - if you are thinking of visiting the village make alternative plans for food in advance. We ordered one adult pizza and one children’s pizza. Low quality frozen pizza - like the bad ones. The strangest thing of all was that both pizzas were the same size - despite the children’s one being £5 and the adult one £10. When I questioned this, thinking there must have been a mistake they told me that’s what they always do. Charge two different prices for the same pizza. As if that’s normal. I just thought it was strange and if they can make money on the pizza at £5 what’s the markup at £10? It doesn’t really matter since it was really horrible anyway. Not a good experience.

In these difficult times, this establishment was fantastic. Easy to read signs, and first class service.Ordered our food via their website, was sent an email and a phone call to say our food was ready.Food was delicious too.First class service from start to finish

It's easy to over order. Food is really good, but not cheap, so that's important. Social distancing is not observed in queues for take aways.

An hour after ordering pretty sure they've forgotten about us.

Eating inside was not an option due to covid so we had lunch outside Cod and Chips and Panini Prices were expensive but the food was tasty Lucky the weather was nice and a pleasant place to have lunch

We enjoyed tea and toasted tea cake served on Portmerion pottery. A lovely break on a blustery day. Nice cosy sofa area.

We shared cakes and had drinks in the town hall which is in the middle of the village during our two day stay. Food was good and staff were very pleasant.

Went for lunch, ordered a delicious vegan pizza (they will do any with vegan cheese). Excellent service, and very helpful staff. A little pricy but that’s to be expected for a tourist attraction.

Had two lasagnes and drinks. Food was homemade, fresh and delicious. Service was excellent aswell, couldn't fault them.

Lovely friendly staff, excellent selection of drinks and food.

The jacket potatoes were massive! The sandwiches were very good with salad and crisps; they were enjoyed. The mustard Welsh rarebit was the best I’ve tasted. Good prices too

We had a lovely cooked breakfast inc. fry up, vegetarian fry up and two breakfast baps. They didn't have vegan sausages but I could live with the 'sausages' which contained cheese and were like bubble and squeak. A lovely brunch to kick off our visit of Portmerion.

Nice cafe in portmerion. Good food-sandwiches, fish and chips, light bites etc. Quick service, great staff.

The welsh cakes were fabulous, warm and spicey and served with butter. The coffee was strong and quite a small cup. Lovely to sit on the terrace and watch the world go by.

We visited recently and visited this cafe for lunch. We loved the retro diner decor. The place was very well presented and clean. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was of a very high standard,freshly prepared and well presented. Prices were also reasonable.

After a return visit to this venue it was disappointing to chase our food to be told they’d lost our order with no apology. When the food did arrive the feta cheese and beetroot salad was delicious and the tuna sandwich enjoyable albeit on quite thick bread. Sadly the service appears to let the venue down as they seemed unable to cope with lunchtime volumes

Incredible food that was very quick and hot out, incredible service, incredible place, just perfect. Tipped well. 5+++++

We popped in for a panad and welsh cake. Served by friendly staff and were fortunate to sit outside watching the world go by.I could imagine on a nice sunny day you would feel as tho you were in a little italian village not north wales.I did take not of some of the food being served the sandwiches looked amazing as did the fish and chips.Will return definitely.

How much you enjoy this place is probably tied in with how much you're enjoying your visit to Portmeirion. If expressed positively there's nothing here that's going to ruin your day. We had relatively low expectations, but when trying to find food elsewhere we'd been advised this would be our best bet as it had a good range of food. It's range was unexceptional, service was enthusiastic but underwhelming, but the portions were big so if you enjoyed what you'd ordered you had plenty of time to enjoy it.

Whilst visiting Portmeriam we popped in for lunch and to escape the heat. The staff were very welcoming and a good menu with plenty of options to suit everybody's taste and needs

Good, quuck and tasty food.. nice view too

Thoroughly enjoyed my meatballs and lovely crisp pint of Wrexham lager. Staff very friendly and polite.

Came here with my father and cousin on Sunday. There was nothing fancy on the menu - just the usual cafe food, but there was a decent choice. All three of us opted for the lasagne, and we very much enjoyed it. It came with chips, which were nice enough. You received a generous plateful. In fact, I left half of my chips as I was just too full. I would definitely recommend the lasagne here.

The venue is bright and open, with such lovely staff. On seating, I was advised of the special, which was the dressed crab with brown buttered bread. Can’t say no to that! It was delicious, beautifully prepared. Lovely atmosphere and was made to feel welcome. Certainly wish you could get this service in most tourist venues.

Called in for coffee and cake, have to say we were very disappointed, the coffee was very Luke warm and the piece of Bara Brith we had was very small for the £2.00 price.

Only stopped for coffee and Welsh cakes but the place was full. Reasonable range of food but basic tables and chairs and nothing fancy.

There are lots of places to eat in the village but the Town Hall is particularly nice, especially if you can find a seat on the outside terrace overlooking the main street. The restaurant is a 50s style diner; full meals through to snacks and cakes are available; orders are taken at the table. The Coronation chicken sandwich was particularly good.

I ate in the town hall cafe which seemed a bit confused as to what it wanted to be - half American diner and half traditional with wooden panelling. I moved seats not long after getting in because the smell of cleaning fluid was making my eyes water.

Lovely sandwich and pot of tea sat in the sunshine in April ! nice choice with good ingredients and friendly staff. Great for a spot of lunch with a varied menu.

Excellent place to eat either in or out. Good choice of food. Toilets and good views from the balcony.

Nice venue for a meal, can be crowded at peak times. Food reasonable and price ok. Service quite quick.

We only had coffee and cake here on two occasions, but each was a different experience as on Saturday we had waitress service at the outside tables, but on the Sunday we had to go inside and order and carry out our own food.

Asda food. Asda pizza base, spinach without taste, the cheese did not melted properly. No atmosphere inside at all. Looks like a local dirty bar. Dont recommend it at all.

My fave place in the village .small plates are lovely I had a terrine ham hock mustard running through it.it was lovely.prawns are lovely batter fab.we went in another day as well to eat this was in the day.one visit a band was on there is a bar also.go in the big room also to see ornate ceiling.we had breakfast on last day.all good quality ingredients. Staff good excellent in fact.the manager was great

I remember this place from previous visits as a rather dowdy cafeteria with food to match. But now it has been completely refurbished and with a new menu of great food choices at surprisingly fair prices, especially compared with the eye-watering prices of the hotel restaurant!

On a very wet day we were welcomed and looked after and had a wonderful lunch. The soup was delicious and the jacket potatoes were the best I have ever seen! The lady that served us was super smiley and friendly and could not do enough for us. The prices were reasonable and we had a lovely lunch. Very clean too especially the toilets.

The daily specials were good value and the children’s meals. The rest of the menu was slightly expensive. Service was efficient and the tram were friendly. Clean place too.

Called into the Town Hall for morning coffee after a long walk in the woods and around the town. Lovely coffee and ice restaurant full of history with lots of architects drawings on the walls showing the conceptual plans and elevations

We where like 10 people having lunch in there . Not expensive but most of us didn’t liked the food. I had pizza and it looked like supermarket pizza. The staff was okay.

if you want an excellent,value for money meal in a relaxed atmosphere eat here.

A very pleasant eatery, the staff were very cheerful, friendly and helpful, the menu varied. I had a sandwich which was more a doorstop 'all good' with a large salad with dressing, crisps, and coleslaw, my wife a prawn jacket potato again with a large side salad all fresh and very tasty, washed down with a pot of tea. Very enjoyable and good value.

I do not think I have ever seen a restaurant run as efficiently as The Town Hall. We were welcomed as we entered and guided to an empty table, coffees were ordered and were delivered to our table less than 2 minutes later. Similarly, our main courses arrived very quickly. The quality of both the coffees and food was excellent and were much better than most stand alone restaurants elsewhere. The range of dishes on the menu were interesting and tempting. The staff were attentive and seemed to take a keen interest in their guests.

I only had coffee but I could see that there was quite a wait for food. But don't let this put you off. Everything is fresh and this will take time at busy times. Decor is unusual a bit like an American diner.

Portmeirion town hall is excellent

Quite a pleasant little place to eat with a varied menu and a specials board,we visited and ordered earlier today.

We stopped for lunch whilst enjoying the surroundings of Portmeirion village.

Having visited Portmeirion many times, we decided as we had previously eaten elsewhere in The Village we would try the Town Hall. Not only is it difficult to get seated it is not wheelchair friendly, and the waitress kept sighing and rolling her eyes at us as we tried to stow my wheelchair. She then came and told us that they were not serving hot food as it was about ten past eleven and they didn't start lunches until 11.30 so I asked if we could order anyway, have our drinks whilst we waited, she didn't really seem to understand me. Another waitress came and took our order, only for yet another person to ask us if we had ordered, the staff just didn't seem to have a clue how to serve customers. When we food arrived it was just awful, the bread was dry and stale, the onion rings seemed like they had been reheated and the salad had a weird dressing on it that made it taste awful, and some of the salad leaves were brown. We managed a few chips and the meat from the sandwich (which to be fair was nice). We went to pay and when asked if all was okay they seemed shocked when we said no. The girl at the till fetched the person in charge to discuss this and he was adamant all the food was fresh that day, if that is the case they need to get a new supplier. He did however give us a small discount on the meal. Would never eat there again and would not recommend it.

Called in for food after travelling several hours only to find we had missed the breakfast service and lunch service didn’t start until 11:30, so we could only have cake / scones. Went for a further wonder before returning for a drink and waiting for 11:30.

Arrived at Portmeirion around 9.30 with the intention of beating the crowds so thought we would have a bit of breakfast once we got there- popped into the Town Hall to be greeted by one of the waitresses announcing they were only serving breakfast (great as that’s what we wanted) however it was delivered like a deterrent so none too welcoming - nobody else in there but took an age for her to come over and take our order - the full traditional as other than the veggie option that was all that was on offer- given the fact that we were at that point the only two diners you would have thought the ‘perfect breakfast’ would be coming our way but no, the bacon looked like it had been sitting there for a couple of days, sausages burnt, eggs all dried and broken, so sadly not a great experience for us there! None of the usual ‘ how is your meal?’ - but you know us brits, we kept quiet and still paid £28 without saying anything!

We didn't even get to eat here and were messed around about wether we could or couldn't when we had 3 young children in tow also that were hungry. Apparently the till were down so the rude and abrupt young waitress said they couldn't process orders. We suggested writing them down and we could pay with cash- she rolled her eyes and sighed- went away---cam back and said ok---then came back and said no using the same reason. Saying then they couldn't process payment so the chefs had stopped cooking- absolutely ridiculous. We said we can calculate the order and give them the cash so they can process it when the tills were back on as surely this wouldn't take long and the kids had already waited long enough just to get to this point- a resounding refusal and very huffy/puffy attitude from the waitress- really not impressed. God help them if they didn't have computers to do the thinking for them-then again----maybe a robot would have better manners and customer service skills than what we experienced. Some professionalism and good manners would've gone a long way in this situation- not bad attitude and being messed around

The beautiful village of Portmeirion did its best to shine through a miserable wet day I north Wales. We sought shelter and refreshment in the Town Hall café, where I had Ham Terrine with salad. The service was polite & attentive, the terrine very tasty.

As soon you walk in you feel like you are back in the school canteen.

I'd give this place one star if it weren't for the friendly waitstaff. At least they're doing their jobs properly. Table service was a nice surprise, and the girls were friendly, helpful and quick to take our order.

The town hall offers quick meals at reasonable prices. They don’t stay open past 5 pm. Great if you are on the run.

While visiting Portmeirion Village we stopped off here for a lunch time break. It was quite busy inside and outside but we were fortunate in finding an outside table on the terrace in an elevated position. Charming waitress service and we ordered coronation chicken and ham with mustard sandwiches both served with a salad and potato crisps plus glasses of chilled white wine. All was excellent and the sandwiches were incredibly full with meats in first glass bread. Reasonable price.

Stopped in for lunch and very glad we did. Extensive menu, not overpriced despite being in a tourist spot. Good range of options that would cater for everyone. We went for two light bite options, hubby had the mushroom, tarragon and garlic soup with bread, I had the smoked peppered mackerel pate with beetroot and apple salsa salad and toasts. Very good, empty plates all round. Food and drinks served on Portmeirion china which made it feel very special too. Service was quick, all table service, very polite and attentive staff. Clean, tidy and would recommend. Lunch for approx. £20.

Sat outside in glorious sunshine having a very pleasant drink from this lovely little cafe. The person who took our order was delightful and offered to take a picture of us both

Loved our visit to Portmeirion with friends a fabulous place even in bad weather. Had lunch in the Town Hall. We were delighted with our meal which was freshly prepared by the chef and was delicious. The staff we so welcoming, warm and friendly it was such a pleasure to receive such great service and food. Great value and choice and the restaurant was spotlessly clean and bright THANKYOU

We popped in for a light lunch and ordered the ham and mustard sandwiches. We got an enormous malted bread sandwich with about 8 slices of nice cooked ham, a good handful of crisps and mixed salad with coleslaw for £6.99. A real meal. Place, including the toilets was spotless and the waiting on staff were efficient. Well recommended.

We stopped for a quick lunch on our tour of Portmerion village. We sat inside but tables are set up outside on a small veranda. Inside is light, clean and fresh looking. We were served quickly by friendly staff. I ordered a guacamole and peppers sandwich which was made from really large pieces of bread. It came with salad and crisps on the plate. Service was excellent and the cooked food I saw coming out of the kitchen, which is visible from the counter, looked really nice. If you visit Portmerion village this is definitely the place to eat. Really enjoyed it.
