Meant to be dog friendly although barmen scowled every time a dog made a sound. Dogs canāt sit on laps or anything told off in front of whole bar - not a dog friendly environment at all sadly as clearly barmen disliked dogs the sign posted stated no dogs on seats not laps!!

Only place serving food in area on very wet weekend afternoon late. Large TV screens showing sport Very busy. Was made aware 45minute wait for food. Food presented well and reasonable portions. Beer selection OK. Was noisy and dogs allowed. Would describe as upmarket wheatherspoons.

Have been going to The Vaynol for many years. Arrived in Abersoch on Friday and went straight there looking forward to lunch. The menu was so disappointing. Very basic and not much choice. Ordered a drink and the beer was flat. Didnāt return for the remainder of the week.

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 Ā£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 didnāt 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 Donaldās 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 Iād expected more. Anyway, I could go on for hours but I wonāt as Iād 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 didnāt complain on the day because I knew the manager wasnāt in the building and quite frankly I just wanted to go and not engage with any of the staff who were there. Finally, Iād 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. Ā£12 would get a fab burger in most of Cornwall. The beer was fine and it was a decent looking bar.

Visited with 2 families just after 6pm which is when they start serving food. It was already packed out. Fortunately we found a table outside as another group was leaving. The staff were really friendly and service was fast and efficient. The food was fine and came quickly.

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.

....good food. Went to The Vaynol for a midweek evening meal expecting a limited menu and were told full menu was available. Pizza was very nice as was the chicken burger; but what made the visit was the friendly welcome and efficient service. Oh and being able to sit outside and enjoy the evening sun.

Visited this venue today and was not disappointed at all! Never known a public house/restaurant be as pet friendly so very accommodating. I was served by 2 wonderful young ladies today I believe names were allie n molly may I say the are a credit to your staff base! Very pleasant great to chat with permanent smiles and very efficient workers. Well done girls. The interior is very sleek modern and spotless toilets were flawless and the outside area is fab with great hanging baskets and excellent sized beer table/benches. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there 5 star from me all round. Didn't eat as we already had but wish we had given the gorgeous pizzas we saw people devouring.

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.

Food for the rest of the family was very good. Iām coeliac so we chose the Vaynol due to the reviews of their gluten free pizza. I paid extra for a pizza which looked like it had been bought from a supermarket and heated under a grill before having a few pieces of pepperoni added. Really disappointing. I wish places like this would actually try their gluten free food before they offer it to people (believe me, if I didnāt have to eat gluten free I wouldnāt). If they did theyād realise that the base isnāt the nicest thing taste wise so it needs plenty of toppings to help it out. Didnāt get this at Vaynol (if they actually did make it and didnāt get it from a supermarket).
