The Union Inn in Gwynedd

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.

Great lamb shank. Friendly service

Just had a lovely meal here. It’s been a really good evening. Well worth a visit

It's a great pub with loads of character. Kind of the antithesis of the Fleece over the road.

The entire team here work so hard to please and they do not disappoint the 4 of us and our 18 month daughter went today for Sunday lunch which was, fast, hot and tasty! Credit to the young lads working too they do a great...

Such an amazing place to come to the venue is full of history and the food is amazing I've been in porthmadog for 4 days and only found this little treasure today my last day however will most definitely be back the staff and the owner are such lovely people thankyou so much and see you again soon 😊

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...

This pub is excellent.It is about as traditional as you can get in the 21st century.It is set in a surprisingly interesting and beautiful village.The food is brilliant and cask beer too. The ( family run ) staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.No " local....

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.

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...

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...

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!

Cosy, warm atmosphere. Food was good and beer tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Saturday night pub food / warm welcome croeso!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍Good red wine and Shropshire gold bitter Lasagna was well prepared fresh and hot - salad and sweet potato fries and a tasty lamb rump - chips- mushroom No fuss just excellent service and good cooking Diolch !

After driving from pub to pub for a hour and being told the kitchens closed or they are only dog friendly outside, we found this beauty. Staff are welcoming and friendly! Obviously they are dog friendly inside too! Food was lovely! Quick and Hot food....

Very good a group of us go there to play canasta landlady very helpful 💕 💕 would recommend 🎉🎉

We stumbled upon this lovely pub whilst looking for a bite to eat on New Year’s Day evening. Most other places we had visited weren’t serving food so we expected to be turned away. The waitress found us a table and we were very impressed...

Beautiful food ,good ales and great atmosphere

Called in early evening for a couple of drinks. Log fire to give warmth to the room. Nice selection of beers. Parking in the square.

Superb food and excellent service. Great to see the Union serving food on a Monday, the meal was excellent. Wonderful curry, superb lamb steak and fish and chips. Highly recommended for food quality, service and very good value. Thanks to all the staff. Chris and Mandy

A cosy, authentic pub with very friendly, welcoming staff. Wide choice of traditional pub food as well as some great specials. Reasonably priced, and generous portions. The dessert menu was very inviting and the blackcurrant and prosecco cheesecake was divine 😍 We are very thankful...

Portion sizes was brilliant we opted for the tapas option and we couldn’t eat it all . Really friendly staff typical old style local pub we did pop in the pub across the road first but was made to feel well more welcome here with our dog so we highly recommend this place !

Warm friendly Inn with well kept cask ales and excellent home made food.

We visited here as a family whist visiting the area to go to the slate quarry. We had booked accomodation at local caravan park. The pub was old and very busy. The food was worth the trip alone

Whilst staying in the area for a weeks break we decided to have Sunday lunch here as they welcomed dogs, as well as their owners. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table that gave us ample room, even although they were busy. We...

Whilst staying in the area for a weeks break we decided to have Sunday lunch here as they welcomed dogs, as well as their owners. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table that gave us ample room, even although they were busy. We were provided with menus for a range of burgers, tapas options and a children's menu. The Sunday lunch menu options was on a chalk board behind the bar, offering soup or pate starter then roast beef, roast lamb, salmon & leak mash, pea & almond risotto. Local real ales were available and well kept. A coffee menu was also available. Our food was served quickly and the portion sizes were plentiful. I'm certainly looking forward to returning to trying other things from the main menu.

Lovely little pub and great food ,and they sell mild there .Service with a smile always. LANDLADY is a lovely person.

Friendly staff good pub food served promptly

The food was excellent pub grub. A good steak and ale pie, a well cooked steak, tasty chips etc. The pub is a bit grubby and the beer was all from small local breweries, but you will get a good dinner.

Ate here tonight, lovely food and local ales, dog friendly, lasagne very good. Friendly local pub.

Lovely home cooked food. Booking ahead a must. Friendly staff.

From the moment we walked in to when we left the staff and service was so attentive and great to have staff with smiles and we were hosted brilliantly Food was fab ...steak n ale pie OMG filling was quality great pastry topping ...value 10 out of 10 and good to see local ales n ciders available ...good team all round ....beer garden lovely to enjoy after a fab meal.. recommend to book

Great little pub, good menu, generous portions. Definitely recommend. And will be going back there to eat again.

They really went out their way to fit us in after we didn’t book and just turned up. Food was great!

Great quaint little pub, wonderful food at a reasonable price and great customer service 🙂

Beer garden for a drink 👍 lovely location Very expensive food for what is served. Don’t expect good quality homemade food (as we did)The food we had was from a packet or freezer and unfortunately was very disappointing. The chips tasted as though they were...

This is a hidden gem. Food is very good, plenty of choice, Burgers, food grub also included. They also include Tapas meals too. Make sure you ring in advance.

Stopped by for a evening meal, nice traditional pub, our party had steak, lasagne, mushroom stroganoff, very nice food. Only downside was that staff seemed to be rushed off their feet, we would have ordered desserts but it was clear they were stretched to their...

We came here on our first night away in Wales. After some researching for dog friendly pubs this one popped up, also the host of where we are staying suggest it too. We booked in advance which I think is recommended, but it wasn't too...

You have to choose to leave the main road to go to Tremadog these days since it's been bypassed, but it's worth stopping off and taking a pint in the Union because there's no place quite like it. It edges a square that's on flat reclaimed land below what used to be the cliffs of the sea. Popular with both locals and visitors.
