Lovely pub with a 'Snack Shack' food menu. The pub was dog friendly which was a must for us. We were tired and hungry and our needs were met. The burger was one of the best my husband had ever had and the Steak salad box was delicious, with the steak cooked perfectly. Staff at the bar and doing the food were friendly and welcoming.

This is a review of the 'Snack Shack' takeaway food. I went there on a day that was Pizza night. And had the choice of 4/5 different Pizzas. I order some mexican themed one with pulled pork, and a pepperoni one, as well as some basic fries and slaw. The Mexican themed pizza was foul. It was covered in two sauces, and was gopping wet. Literally soaked in them. I think one was some sort of garlic mayo or something. The slaw was so salty it rendered it inedible too. The other pizza was fine as were the fries. Had I not driven 15 mins to the campsite with the food, and realised how bad it was I would have returned it right away. Whats worse is that this is classically Abersoch prices, and this all came to about £35 for a only half edible meal. Thoroughly dissappointed.

Came here for lunch as a fairly big group. Even though the main chef wasn't in and we had found this place randomly off the street, we were really pleased with our lunch. The salads were filling, fresh and tasty and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Staff were very helpful with dietary requirements.

Absolutely appalling tasteless burger in a bun ordered by me and my wife. We ordered two burger meals with chips and I had the slightly more expensive meal that had a burger with bacon and cheese. Total for both meals £27. The meals duly arrived and we began eating them only to realise that there was no taste to the burgers. In utter despair at yet another awful British/ Welsh pub meal in front of us we proceeded to spice up the burgers in a bun with lashings of tomato ketchup and salt. It didn’t help at all. The burgers were tough with a rubber texture and clearly not of good quality. The fries were similar to those found in a KFC or Mac Donald’s and I was disappointed to not have traditional chips similar to those you purchase from a fish n chip shop.The portion of cheese in my burger had no taste to it and the texture of cellophane,so a perfect compliment to the bland burger. The bacon was reasonably ok. The bun or bap was fine. The single piece of lettuce was a disappointment as I’d expected more. Anyway, I could go on for hours but I won’t as I’d prefer to not write this at all,however, the meals were so horrible that I want to warn others not to order this mess should they be in the Vaynol. Incidentally,no staff member asked if everything was okay, the female staff member who took the order had no clue as to what the ingredients were on the burger which was on the Specials board and had no inclination to ascertain the answer to my question, the background music was loud and raucous, the drinks we ordered were ridiculously expensive but in fairness refreshing and most welcome on what was a very hot day. I didn’t complain on the day because I knew the manager wasn’t in the building and quite frankly I just wanted to go and not engage with any of the staff who were there. Finally, I’d just like to inform any readers that I ate most of my meal as I was starving as was my wife but it was not a pleasant meal at all,sadly.

Terrible pizza, worse burger and bad taco. The place is ok, the staff were ok but lacklustre and the food was terrible. The burger is easiest to describe: a disgusting industrial slab of bad tasting meat without the blanket of a caramellised crust. Feeble lettuce and tomato and an industrial dull bun. Pizza also appalling. Terrible kitchen and almost certainly a management that thinks day-tripper types ( like me) don't care or don't deserve better. £12 would get a fab burger in most of Cornwall. The beer was fine and it was a decent looking bar.

Didn't eat so can't comment on the food. Place was clean, tidy and well serviced with regards to glass & plate collection. It's fair to say the owners have and instill in their staff a good degree of customer service awareness The placed, understandably, seemed to have many more holidaymakers than locals (Read into that your positive or negative connotations regarding that demographic). The front beer garden unfortunately had no green stuff, being at the front of the pub on a concreted area (Not unlike every other pub in the town centre) - This outside front area was very packed (Given the glorious weather) so was a bit less organised than the interior. To be fair though it's a pretty-ish town so looking out over the street wasn't bad at all. If you don't fancy an urban setting to your al-fresco experience there's a large more traditional beer garden at the back as well, with as much grass as you'd want. Given the general serenity of the town, no doubt a quieter place to have a drink. Not a bad place to any degree.

Nice dog friendly pub, but considering its peak time of year, they do not serve food all day. I noticed people were bringing sandwiches from other shops to eat outside. The pub is losing business. Maybe worth paying a full time chef. On the positive, staff seemed friendly and pub well presented and clean.

We were hoping to eat at The Vaynol but they were not serving food Wednesday or Thursday this week. So we opted to stay for a drink and managed to get a table on their front patio. They have two further outside areas, a courtyard (no smoking and no dogs) and a beer garden to the rear. All areas were kept clean and tidy but like most of the pubs and restaurants in Abersoch their is clearly a lack of staff.

From my first contact to request booking a table to the moment we left - the staff here are extremely helpful. It's a real authentic proper pub. Inside the decor and atmosphere is very cosy and friendly. Beautiful pub. The location is stunning - vast views over looking the mountains. They have a small campsite and also allow campervan stop overs. Some camping websites state that the pub is closed but this isnt true. Very much open with a cold pint waiting for you. Large beer garden to rear. The food is traditional pub food but done extremely well. Highly highly recommend the home made scotch eggs. It rarely happens but Vegetarian wife was spoilt for choice. Lots of options for veggies and vegans. Not a pretentious or complex menu. Just proper food done really well. So glad we visited and will 100% be back.
