The Union Inn in Gwynedd

Stopped here for Sunday lunch, it was ok, nothing amazing. The food was served instantly which made us think it had been heated up in the microwave. Roast potatoes were very dry but the roast beef was good. Dogs are welcome and were given a treat by the staff which was a nice touch.

Nice little pub, decent food portions and cooked well! Staff are friendly, the bar and tables are clean - will definitely be back when passing through

Very nice pub with delicious food, decent portions and dog friendly.

After all bad reviews. Food was lovely, i liked vegetables on a separate plate. We were seated in a room with loats of mirrors and lights. Table were clean and not sticky. Staff was friendly . Service was quick .

We had a couple pints of beer, really good. Also had some cheese chips very hot and full of flavour 😋

Not sure where to start. Some of the worst food I've ever had. The liver was awful and curry was an absolute disgrace. Add this unprofessional staff and embarrassingly high prices. I hate leaving 1 star reviews but this deserves nothing more. Like others have said, avoid it. It's OK for a quick pint but avoid the food.

Wonderful family run pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere the food was delicious offering home cooked food everything was cooked to perfection.Highly recommend.

Very friendly and jovial staff who made us feel genuinely welcome. Fantastic home cooked food. Great selection. We had Lamb Shank lambs liver a steak and ale pie and home made lasagna. Dessert was beautiful and all at a good price. I even got a hug off the landlady lol definitely will go again.

Real pleasure to come back here! Received like true friends.

Beautiful home made food Friendly and accommodating staff Couldn't of asked for anymore Would definatly travel again just to visit this restraunt

food was amazing staff was amazing and very friendly and the cat was very cute and very lovely

Had a few drinks in the garden accompanied by some really nice views after we came from porthmadog. Would recommend if you’re passing by.

A warm Welsh welcome can be found in this beautiful old pub. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We will be more than happy to come back the next time we visit Wales.

Great food and dog friendly. Excellent 10/10

Great Welsh Pub friendly staff and good Sunday lunches

How I wish I had read the reviews prior to eating here a very expensive lesson to learn. Whilst the staff were friendly the food was shockingly poor. Certainly not fresh and certainly not home made we left pretty much all of it on the plate the side salad consisted of limp old lettuce and a small wedge of tomato. The mushroom was slimy and left a trail of black on the plate. I asked for the gluten free option pate to start and all I received was a very small terrine of shop bought pâté limp lettuce and a small wedge of tomato for ££6.50. My gluten free burger arrived I was expecting a handmade mince burger this is not what I received it was most certainly not gluten free or home made. I cannot express how dissatisfied we were we were going to express our dissatisfaction but quickly went on trip advisor to see if there other bad reviews and how they deal with them. From previous reviews we saw the deal them very unprofessional and do not take on board constructive criticism but rather threaten to call police and are very rude we paid and left. The food is awful do not eat here.

Had really good food at the Union in the lounge last night . My husband said the homemade steak and ale pie was great and the gammon was probably the best I’ve had ! The landlady and other staff were friendly and the service very good . We would definitely visit again if in the area !

Superb village local on the square in Tremadog. Ran by the same folk for many years. Serving 3 rotating real ales. One I had was lovely. Nice ambience inside. Really friendly and fun behind the bar. Serves food. Outside area. Highly recommended. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🍻

Proper locals pub, and they are so friendly!

Second time we have been after hiking unbelievable food amazing wine and the staff at atmosphere are unbeatable

Always visit when in the area at least twice,great food,have tried many items on the menu all have been spot on,great friendly staff as well,great pub.

We were stopping in the village for 3 nights at the Golden Fleece and decided to eat here one night. Wished we hadn’t. We took a table and ordered our food and waited….and waited. At one point they tried to give us an order meant for another table. Food eventually turned up after about 40 minutes just as I was getting fed up and trying to convince my husband we should leave and find somewhere else. The pub wasn’t even that busy with food orders so no idea why took so long. The food certainly wasn’t worth the wait. A lukewarm veggie burger clearly brought from a supermarket (I know as I have some of them at home!). Ate it quickly just to get out of there as this is the sort of pub that is locals only and unwelcoming for tourists. After we arrived a large group of locals arrived and proceeded to make comments about how it must be tourist season again and how if you haven’t got kids you can visit whenever you want. Certainly one way to make people uncomfortable. Would not recommend. If you want to have a meal in the village stick to the Golden Fleece. Much better food and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

Scrumptious lamb shank, served with broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower cheese and mashed carrot/swede. The cheesy garlic bread was delish. Lovely pub great ales

Great little pub. It was not too expensive. Great hunters chicken! The chicken burger wasn't as good, though. Snowden Lager on tap.

A lovely little pub with good pub grub and lovely puddings.👍👍

We had Sunday lunch here. What a lovely little pub. The staff were all very pleasant. All be I had the owner giving out to me for ringing the bar bell. She to me, winding her up very well. I will book again when down that way again.

We came for dinner again last night and as usual we had great food and the staff were brilliant. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection and my husbands dirty burger was as wonderful as usual. A great friendly pub with fabulous food and staff. Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome at this unimposing 'local' pub. The food was really tasty. Liver and onions and a chicken korma. Great value, will be back.

Visited here with a friend for dinner. I ordered liver which came with vegetables. Unfortunately I had to send the vegetables back. The broccoli was slimy, brown and mouldy in the middle. By the time they cooked them again, I had eaten my meal. There was no money taken off our bill or even offered a coffee as an apology. We visited again on an evening which was very cold. We went to sit at the same two seat table by the window but the radiator was off so we sat on a bench with two separate tables. We were asked to sit elsewhere on a smaller table. There was no one in there. It was early and if a table of 8 had come in we would have moved. What a terrible way to treat customers who are going to spend money. We left and went elsewhere for a meal which made us feel welcome and the food lovely and fresh.

What a great little find. Just stumbled across it by chance, wanted a table for 4, 2 adults and 2 kids. Just popped in and asked, and the young lady said, so long as you can wait half an hour. So we decided to wait. Then within 5 minutes she showed us to our table and took our drinks order. She then later took our food order, and we had a comfortable wait until our food arrived. The food was just fantastic and piping hot. Would highly recommend this place

What a lovely way to celebrate walking snowdon! We had a lovely dinner as a family. The lamb shanks were so tasty! Rang and the team managed to squeeze us in and was very much appreciated! Deffo book for a treat after snowdon.

We went for dinner and had a great experience. We had the sharing chicken wings, a huge portion! The steak I ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly. The burger my husband had was incredibly huge and really tasty. Thank you for a great time, we will be back!

Smashing little place with exceptionally well-kept beer. Highly recommended if you are anywhere near Snowdon. Stella, the pub cat, is a character as well.

Visited Tremadog and stopped here for a cosy cup of coffee. Lovely staff, lovely coffee. And the interior is super warm and cosy.

A nice pub popular with the locals and tourists alike.

Booked for evening meal. The Waitress took both our drinks order & meal order at the same time. The drinks came first, then waited about 15-20 minutes for our food. Food was hot, cooked well & very tasty. I had the Sirloin Steak & I can honestly say it was probably one of the best Steaks I have ever had. My wife had Lasagne & cleared the dish it came in. Good value for money. Tip- take a look at the Specials board, good selection. We have been here on several occasions & we have never had a problem with anything. The place is a real gem. Can't wait to go back next year.

Popped in for a drink Saturday afternoon. No customers in the bar. Dog friendly. Ordered a latte but it came as a black coffee. Lady (manager/owner?) took it away and put milk in it. It was ok but not a latte. Bit too strong for me, but ok. Was given two sugars but no spoon. One female behind the bar, dressed as the Joker, was clearly annoyed at someone who had called in sick, as her language was foul. Like really foul. Ok it was only us in the room but I don’t go for a drink to hear ‘F this, F that, F her for F…. Ing calling in, if she doesn’t wanna work then F her….’ Really?!!!!! We were looking for somewhere to come back to for dinner but I thought if that’s how staff are, plus you can’t get a latte right, I’ll look elsewhere.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my great disappointment and disgust with the current state of the back area of your restaurant. As a frequent visitor to your establishment, I have always enjoyed the quality of service, food, and ambiance. However, I was appalled to discover a large amount of dog feces littered throughout the back of the restaurant. This unsanitary situation is a serious health hazard, and it is unacceptable that the management has allowed it to persist. It is extremely distasteful and off-putting to encounter such filth in an establishment where one expects cleanliness and order. Furthermore, as a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of responsible pet ownership, which includes cleaning up after one's pet. It is imperative that you take immediate action to rectify this situation by cleaning up the area and implementing better measures to prevent it from happening in the future. I trust that you will take the appropriate steps to rectify this situation as quickly as possible, to ensure the safety and well-being of your customers and employees. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [steven]

This is a pub and with that in mind it was fine. We both chose lamb shanks which were large and tasty. The server greeted us warmly and we thought the meal was good value.

100% recommend. In Porthmadog for the weekend and found this gem for Sunday lunch. Absolutely brilliant.

Staff is really nice and we had some good pub food! Very cosy place with a soft black cat chilling on the sofa 🐈‍⬛

Great place to stop off. Food was nice. The table were quite low.

Really friendly pub with great food in a beautiful setting. The local ale was particularly good. Would warmly recommend with one!

Visited The Union Inn whilst on holiday in Wales with my Husband and Parents, we all had Lamb shanks OMG absolutely amazing meat fell off the bone, we had puddings as well we all had different puddings but all amazing. Staff so welcoming could not fault the service would definitely recommend a visit.

Burgers were good... dessert was disappointing didn't get what I paid for

Found this great little pub, whilst touring the coast of Wales. Great staff, especially the barman who served us on both evenings we dined there. We had such exceptional service on the first night, hence our return the following when we also partook in the pub quiz. Lovely atmosphere, very welcoming. Food was delicious and good value. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this area.

We visited the Union Inn in Tremadog on two occasions whilst staying in nearby Porthmadog. We drove here and there is street parking available in the ‘Market Square’ but this is limited though we were fortunate to get parked on both visits. The Union Inn is a large traditional looking public house with two separate bars and a small restaurant area to the rear. We formed the opinion that one of the bars is for the ‘locals’ and the second for visitors to the area. On our first visit we reserved a table for two and sat in the restaurant area and this is very light and pleasant. The menu is fairly comprehensive with a good choice of pub classics and also some more substantial meals, my wife had the Mushroom Stroganoff and I had the Three Bean chilli. Both meals came in a reasonable time after ordering and were of a good portion size likely to satisfy most appetites. For dessert we had the fruit crumble, again of a good portion size. The bar has a good selection of drinks and some ales from the local brewery went down well with the meal. The staff that we came into contact with were helpful and approachable. We enjoyed our visit here and so chose to return the following evening, this time without a booking and was fortunate enough to be squeezed into a table in the bar area. We would certainly consider coming here again if we were to revisit the area.

Pleasant staff Sunday lunch was beautiful. Few had alternative meals which they said was also beautiful. Nice seating area outside

Nice genuine pub in an attractive little village. Decent beers and a good menu. Food was plentiful and tasty. Really friendly and helpful staff. Recommended

Week stay in Tremadog, was thinking we'd have to walk to/from Port for pint every night. Not a bit of it, best pub in area on doorstep. Lovely landlady, boss staff, sound locals, really well kept real ale. Two engines, local breweries, no complaints. Well worth a visit.

Great place went here a few times on our holiday for food. Staff recommended what food to go for and also had a list of all the food they could do gluten free. Portion size was filling but still had room for pudding. Staff were great to talk to and were friendly. Definitely recommend this place.

Friendly staff, the food was delicious, especially minted lamb steak, gammon steak. A good gluten free menu

Booked for a group of 11, Staff were very helpful. They went out of their way to look after my 3 year old who really wanted some pickles lol. Food was bought out promptly and was delicious. Highly recommended

Good food and dog friendly, booked ahead of visit friendly atmosphere

Had a nice meal after a nice day walking. I'm a bit disappointed with the chutney it was more like a pickle onion.

Good meal for adults and children, friendly welcome good food and beer. Many thanks

The 2 fantastic ladies working there are an asset to you. Would highly recommend.

What a wicked, evil woman! Chicken that bled, ignored when I complained to the 12 year old waiter. After 20 mins the manageress arrived and accused me of making a fuss and swearing at the child waiter. I was so upset that this was said as it was totally untrue. I asked for the bill as she charged me £86 for 2 starters and 4 soft drinks. I told her that I was as not paying this and she threatened me with the police and called me a typical scouse robber. I have never been so appalled. I told her to get the police as I had evidence of the food and her abuse, she screamed at us including my young kids to get out amongst a load of obscenities. I have never in my life been so verbally abused, but I have since discovered that this is her forte, especially with the threat of the police. Please be warned. Stay away from the Union Inn!!!!

Lovely and friendly place a proper pub

Standard pub grub although a bit on the pricier side. Everything was just kind of okay, forgot bits of the order tho and service compared to the table next to us was like night and day. We felt like a bit of an inconvenience tbh

Family of 8 (7 adults and 1 child), fab selection of gins and ales. Food was delicious and staff were fabulous!! Would highly recommend if you’re in the area

£1.32 per baguette slice of garlic bread ?????? To be fair the food was good pub food. Nice thick butchers gammon chop and good deserts. But £3.95 for 3 mouthfuls of garlic bread is outrageous. We had 4 plates of 3 pieces for £15.80 !!!! Could have bought enough garlic bread from Tesco to feed Porthmadog with that !!

Solid. Typical pub grub in a typical pub. There’s no frills but there are good beers, decent food and friendly staff. Prices are pretty reasonable too.

Never felt so unwelcome. We lasted all of 3mins inside this place. We were the first people through the door at 5pm. A family of four looking for an evening meal, the place was empty. The rude staff on two occasions instructed us that we could only sit in a particularly old dingy and dirty table for 4, even though we could see an area that looked much cleaner. We were literally made to feel like second class citizens. Everything felt old dirty and unwelcoming. We therefore went over the road to ‘The Golden Fleece’ and although all there tables were marked as reserved they made us feel very welcome, explained that they needed the table back at set time (no issues) and found us a lovely table. Whole place was really clean and food was great. Glad we got up and walked out of the ‘Union Inn’ (never been made to feel more uncomfortable in my life. Stay well away.

Lovely oldy worldly place, food lovely, cash or card payments, the staff is friendly, dogs allowed, and parking outside, is lovely place

We went for Sunday lunch, excellent food and lovely staff. Good value for money will definitely go again when I am in Porthmadog.

Excellent pub for food and drink. Highly recommended. Friendly service.

We found this little pub by accident & called in for dinner. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. The food was freshly cooked, we went for the home made steak pie. Delicious! Call in if you are in the area

We stayed for 3 nights in Tremadog / Porthmadog and had dinner every night at The Union Inn. The food was fabulous, staff were fantastic and welcoming, location / parking brilliant and the atmosphere was welcoming. Everyone very friendly. Would definitely recommend to go here.

Great pub in a nice village. Very welcoming and friendly.

We have stayed in Porthmadog twice over the last 6 months and visit here as often as possible...in fact we prefer to eat here most nights. The lamb shank dinner is top notch, as is all of the food ( lamb is just my favourite)....

Great Sunday Lunch! If you are in the area on a Sunday, the lunch here can't be faulted. The landlady is warm and friendly, the staff are pleasant and work hard to make sure you are happy. The food is well cooked, good portion sizes...

Great proper local pub with friendly staff and great atmosphere. They have a disco the last Saturday of every month. Had two lovely evenings in there.

We ate here twice whilst on holiday and can only say it is good honest pub grub with no pretensions to grandeur and at a reasonable price. Good selection of local ales as well. Do not expect splendour or silver service but value for money...

Had booked a table for dinner with a friend on Sunday evening, we both had scampi & chips with salad. Scampi ok, although frying oil starting to taste like it needed changing. Salad from a packet - rather tough leaves and tasteless tomato. We finished...

As another reviewer did, we were staying across from The Union Inn and decided to have dinner here based on previous reviews... and we werent disappointed. We booked ahead knowing it would be busy on Bank Holiday Monday, and then popped in to find out...

Struggled to find a place to eat in Portmadog & found this little gem instead !!. Lovely food, Great prices and is a lovely pub in the market sq. Hidden gem & would highly recommend

Booked for Sunday Lunch. Received a good welcome by the staff & seated by a window overlooking the village square. Service was quick and efficient. Choice of two starters on Sunday lunch menu . Mains choice of two meats with all the trimmings & good portion of veg. Choice of 5 sweets. Meals were good and price very reasonable. So worth trying, we will certainly be back.

Very friendly staff but very poor food for the price. Tasteless. On the plus side, they are dog friendly. Great for a drink, just don’t order food.

Superb Chilli Con Carne with wild rice, chips, Crème fraîche and a lovely side salad. Absolutely excellent food served quickly and very good value. The chilli was extremely tasty with a pleasant level of spice. A really enjoyable meal accompanied by a lovely pint of...

Visited for Sunday lunch 26th March - 6 of us and 3 well behaved dogs. Lovely welcome and very friendly. All of us (except one) had Sunday lunch and OMG it was the best. Lovely beef, homemade enormous Yorkshire pud, fresh vegetables, roasties - but...

The most amazing burgers, staff are so friendly. Lovely evening.

Had a lovely meal, good menu choices & staff very friendly. Room was cold, so had to keep coat on

Lovely pub, lovely food, accepted our very well behaved and clean three dogs, put us in the corner which was perfect, staff very friendly would recommend! A lovely vibe about the place!
