The Victoria Inn in Gwynedd

Visited for first time in while. Food good as ever with nice room decor. Service fast and friendly. Recommend as great lunch spot

Victoria is in a beautiful Welsh village, situated alongside the river. Very pleasant gardens right on the river. Interesting menu, good food and service.

Good food my chosen dish of the menu unfortunately wasn't available enjoyed my second choice of halomi burger and chips

Cinio Sul bendigedig, gwasanaeth a hygyrchedd i gadair olwyn gwych. 5/5 👌 Fantastic Sunday lunch, great service and wheelchair accessibility. 5/5 👌

As previously stated, looks fab from outside…that’s the only good thing about it! the few reviews I could find all said good (they send you a link to review on sugar vine which is clearly filtered as there’s not one bad review on there!!). Food was ok but very very expensive for what is basically cafe grub….extremely limited menu. This is clearly a locals pub that is pretending to be a foodie pub…it isn’t! Noise and screaming kids from large group of staff members friends was horrendous, every other word was a swear word and their mate vaping in the restaurant when people are eating…gross! Staff couldn’t really give two hoots about whether everything was ok. Will never go back or recommend to anyone, was crap and waste of money.

Visited here after a walk in nearby Tal y Bont. So glad we did, we all agreed it was one of the nicest pub meals we've ever had. The pub itself has a large car park and inside its very cosy feeling. It's dog friendly too. There was a decent enough menu to choose from and also a specials board. Friendly staff too. The perfect pub in my book. Will definitely be back.

Stopped many times at the Vic and always enjoyed our stay with the help of good staff. On this occasion the staff were exceptional and we couldn’t thank them enough for the way they dealt with our emergency. Thank you very much we will be back. Stayed Saturday 21st Oct and we had 3 rooms.

We visited as a family with our dog at the end of September, the pub was very busy but we were accommodated and served quickly. The place had a great atmosphere as there were so many people, it was clean and the decor is great. The food arrived, a burger, chicken pie and beef and Guinness pie, all huge portions and very tasty and obviously freshly cooked. We were very impressed and would highly recommend. We will call in again next time we are in the area.

Food was amazing to celebrate my husbands birthday with family , we ordered the steak , beef dinners and the burger and we all made comments that the food was amazing , quick and friendly service and we were made to feel so welcome , definitely worth a visit

Five members of our family attended for dinner. We booked the table online, the time allotted was 6:45 pm. Opon arrival, service was slow. Little acknowledgement. No one greeted us. After waiting at the bar, and asking for menus and drinks we sat down. Only then were we told that we had to order by 7 pm because the kitchen was closing. We ordered in a hurry. The food was very average. When we asked, they had “run out of “both mayonnaise and tartar sauce. I work in hospitality, and know how hard it can be. I understand that a Kitchen can run out of product, and sometimes booking arrangements go awry. Nevertheless, the standard of service and food was not acceptable. The food was poor, the service similar, and the atmosphere in the bar not welcoming. It was not cheap. I do not mind paying good money for good food. Do not waste your time here.

Stayed here for two nights while touring Wales on our motorbike. A brilliant location for Snowdonia national park and the wonderful roads going north or the road from Builth Wells and the Elan Valley. It's a beautiful quirky hotel with 5 rooms a lovely bar, restaurant and outside area. The staff are really friendly. The food was amazing. The breakfast was generous and extremely good quality. And then we come to our evening meal... a good menu and we opted for a pie each. I had steak and guniess and OH had chicken leek and ham. Both were superb and it's hands down the best evening meal we've had on our tour of Wales - service, price, ambiance - nothing to fault about this place. Heads up the restaurant isn't open on a Monday and recommend you book in advance in the evening although there were walk ins later in the evening. Definitely recommend and will visit again if we're touring this part of Wales again.

Great selection of food, we went twice during our stay in Llandbedr. First night we had Steak and Guiness pie and Chicken Nanizza (mix between naan and pizza) and they were nice. Second night we had Anglesey Burger (very filling!), chicken and avocado salad (there was no avocado and we weren't told this at the time of ordering but we were so hungry at this point we didn't care). No table service, you had to order at the bar which didn't bother us, however bear this in mind if you go on a Saturday evening as the bar area is small and got very busy. Nice seating area outside, you can sit by the wall along the stream. Prices were reasonable too. Also of note, food isn't served beyond 7pm on Sunday. We recommend you book during busier periods.

   We did our research before we went but Ignore what the Robinson website says about £10 burger and fish and chips and £14 wine. VERY expensive pub food, £17 burger or fish and chips. House wine £20. We decided to not get the wine but as there weren’t any other options in the area for food, we decided to take the hit and see if the food was worth £17, it wasn’t. I was dubious about deep frying lemon soul but there was nothing else on the limited menu I could eat. It was dry, the tempura batter that should have been light and crispy was not. It was more like cardboard. They only gave you two small tubes of tartar sauce so even that could cover it. My local hungry horse does a better fish and chips. My partner said his burger was ok but he ran out of his small ketchup in a couple of chips. Also what the website says, they don’t serve food on Monday or Tuesday. Given you can’t email or phone the pub I’m not sure how you’d check ahead if they’re serving food or what they are serving but it’s not what the website says. VERY loud music!and I mean ear blistering. Most people were outside for this reason. This used to be a nice pub. It’s by a brook and you used to be able to sit in the garden and listen to it. Not anymore. Go elsewhere. There used to be comfy rattan seats outside and a larger shaded area. Both gone. Now it’s glaring sun and hard benches.I tried to sit outside but there was a screaming child the parents were doing nothing about it. I’m autistic and ended up curled up rocking and screaming at the sensory overload. I tried to sit inside but the music was too loud. Thankfully a lady saw my plight and asked me what was wrong. When I explained she asked the bar staff to turn the music down. They did a little but they’d refused before. I asked if we could cancel the food but they couldn’t. Then someone said they had a quiet room in the back. It had reserved on the tables but staff said we could sit there. Most of the tables inside had reserved but the place was empty. It was quiet until the screaming kid came inside and the screaming echoed down the corridors. Not a good place if you don’t like loud music and screaming kids. I’ve been coming here for years but won’t be coming again.

Nice IPA and delicious halloumi and mushroom burger! Lovely staff and v well presented pub inside! We really enjoyed our meals, and enough space between the tables to be able to relax with our dogs!

Beautiful little pub, lovely attentive staff and warm contemporary surroundings. Food was just excellent, good value, delicious, plentiful and of just superb bistro quality. Would definitely recommend.

A disappointing meal out on our holiday. Don't expect a pleasant atmosphere, this place just wants your money. Nobody showed us to our table, had to queue at the bar for 10mins just to be seated. The service was shocking, they repeatedly forgot to bring...

Wonderful building which has been transformed from dark and aged to lighter yet retaining character. Food was amazing all 4 meals had 0 grumbles. Prices are the same as anywhere else so with the quality and space it's a bonus. Highly recommended.

Arrived at midday on a Wednesday, having booked for 6 people. Received a cold, pretty much non existent welcome. Showed to our table and went to order our food at the bar. Couldn’t order the small plates as a starter meaning once we had eaten...

Spotted this bar restaurant when passing and decided to book dinner. Average menu and definitely pub food standard but chilli was very good. Amazing beer garden and sitting out area next to a river.

Nice location but will not eat there again. Popped in for lunch, one of the chicken/ham pies was burnt and crispy under the lid - inside the pie, odd I know but have a photo. The mash potato reminded me of Smash packet powder/flake potato...

I have been to this pub many times and food is always nice. This time it was awful cheese garlic bread cheese not melted on a massive baguet it was dry awful, chips frozen and under cooked, pie wasn't fresh home made mash lumpy. I...

What a lovely little pub. We spent the night in Llanbedr as a stop over at short notice. With no food in the fridge we decided to try one of the three local pubs, The Victoria Inn. We were not disappointed! I had the Anglesey...

this is the second time we have visited here great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is lovely, home made curry was very tasty! lots of variety of drinks and ales. cosy pub and will be coming back again when we next visit Harlech

Just a beautiful, cosy romantic pub both inside and outside. The beer garden with river running through it just beautiful. I love this special place.

Excellent pub, 4 delicious meals all well cooked and promptly served. The curry was authentic and extremely tasty. The pies were jammed pack with meat & delicious gravy. The burgers were one of the nicest I have had. Make sure you leave room for dessert,...

We visited today whilst visiting the area, our friends had pre booked the table. Sunday roast from £14.95 plus other meals available , we was amazed at how much meat we all had on our plate. We had Lamb and Beef Sunday dinners served with...

Having spent the afternoon on Shell Island my wife and I visited the Victoria Inn with our dog for an evening meal. We are both vegan and the vegan menu was excellent. My wife had the mushroom teriyaki noodles and I had the falafel curry....

We have just stayed in the Victoria inn for the weekend and have to say it one of the best places we have stayed in a long time. There are only 5 Rooms and ours was comfy and clean the bathroom has a bath and...

Banging meal, lovely staff, gourmet burger was totally lush, the Makahni curry was delicious and so we're the chicken bites. Definitely recommend A++++++

This establishment certainly ticks all the boxes; excellent staff, food, beer, bags of character whilst being immaculately maintained. They also have a really nice seated area to the rear garden with a small children's area, again all really well looked after.

Friendly, helpful and polite staff Lovely dinner last night - I had the steak and Guinness pot pie and my husband had the burger. Tasty, and generous portions Great breakfast this morning. Delicious and well presented.

Lovely pub with good food where we always visit when staying in the area. We enjoyed a meal with friends, good choice on menu and also specials board. Staff very friendly and welcoming, our waitress Beth was exceptional. Will definitely be returning on our next...

We were a group of 3 adults and 2 children.i ordered food 1st then my friend ordered straight after me. Other people came in and their food was coming out but we were waiting still. My friends food arrived after a long wait and after...

A little slice of heaven. Such a beautiful place. A real must visit it the area. I just hope they open a pub like this near me! Dogs welcome, children's play area in a big beautiful garden. Little stream, lovely locals, hard working staff. Only...

Had a brilliant meal here, sometimes difficult to find somewhere at short notice that has dairy free options but The Victoria had an entire vegan menu. Food was piping hot and full of taste, would definitely recommend for a nice meal out - seems like...

I had a nice welcome and soon found my table. I ordered the Welsh sausage and mash with onion gravy. Also I ordered a duck pate. They both arrived together, as I got told they don't starters tonight !? The sausages, whilst being tasty, had...

Stayed nearby on holiday and loved this pub! Great quality food, really friendly staff and a lovely garden at the back with a play area for the kids. Super!

Found this lovely spot on the last night of our holiday Food was amazing & the staff were very friendly Lovely garden area to sit with a drink after our meal & enjoy the evening sunshine

While staying in the area for a week, The Victoria was recommended to us as a dog friendly pub/restaurant for dinner. Arrived at 5ish without a booking, luckily they could fit us in. Would recommend booking a table as it was full by the time...

Another excellent lunch, generous portion at sensible prices in beautiful surroundings. Would be good to see more chicken choices in menu though. Will defo be back again in Sept when we next holiday in Barmouth.

My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay here and we had a lovely time. The village itself is in a beautiful setting. The staff at The Victoria work very hard to make everything perfect. The breakfasts we had were amazing...

Superb dog friendly inn , with great friendly staff, great menu and superb Sunday lunches beers pretty good as well... hight recommended even in busy times...

Good place for Sunday dinner.. huge portions and super delicious!! Always a nice environment for a drinkmas the decor is nice and a lovely outdoor seating area in the summer... Special thanks to Gemma the bar girl.. Always happy smiling . Diolch

Just called in hoping for table for 4 adults and 2 under 10s. Went outdoors as it was just about warm enough and lost the kids into the play area. Then really good food turned up. Simple as that.

Pre-booked for a dinner on Sunday 26th March at 4pm. Luckily there was roast beef left which was absolutely delicious. Very tasty gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Lots of vegetables as well. The roast beef itself was tender and plentiful. Excellent friendly service, even though it...

Lovely pub nice atmosphere, food not good, lamb tagine erm maybe three bits of lamb in there, dry and tasteless. Coleslaw with burger, tiny little pot with black hair in sent it back, no apology, nobody interested. Dont think will return for food.!

amazing Sunday roast and service, superb dog frendly pub , great food and great beers. so much to do around this area. grest outdoor seating for the summer

This pub is lovely inside. Warm and welcoming. Staff were pleasant food was not great. Very mediocre and bland. We would not return.

Loved this place on first visit staff warm, welcoming and guests came first. Nice food and menu but avoid if you don’t like “chives” because they are in every mashed potato dish on the menu! Including Sunday Roast! Kids love mash but with Chives in...

No welcome from the staff, no interest in choosing drinks. I paper photocopy of a menu handed out at the bar. ‘Home made’ curry was chunks of chicken with a supermarket jar of source put over it, with semi sticky white rice, cold within 2...

Very festive - great decorations Food fantastic as always. - had the steak and ale pie. Would recommend to anyone wanting a lovely lunch.

The food is lovely and good portion size. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Clean and efficient service. The garden is lovely and worth a look at the river.

Hubby and I went here for a meal while on holiday nearby. The pub itself is lovely and quaint and has a nice outside area. The bonus is that it is dog friendly which was good. Staff were pleasant but we were disappointed by the...

We've been here often in many years time. This time we absolutely loved the Burgers which came with a lot of toppings. Atmosphere at the river was nice as usual, friendly staff.

It is a big thank you for the excellent service and excellent value for the bed and breakfast food is fresh not frozen. The most comfortable bed and the building has loads of history and antiques. The only negative is for me personally the breakfast...

Beautiful pub, always visit when on holiday here. Lovely helpful bubbly staff, fabulous homemade food, good quality produce, generous portions and excellent value. 10/10

Great, smart pub with great food. After popping in for a drink a few days earlier we decided to visit the Victoria inn for some lunch on a rainy day with our dog. The pub is immaculate, with great decor, friendly bar staff and fab...

This pub is amazing we sat out side in the garden early evening it was lovely I had the curry it was the best iv ever had well done my partner had meatballs with spaghetti he was very impressed aswell

We were staying locally so ate here on a Friday evening. You do need to book in advance as originally we tried to go the previous night and they were fully booked! I’m not normally a burger type person but having read the description, decided...

We visited this restaurant/pub on a recent trip to wales. We had the chicken, leek and ham pie which was amazing. Bar staff were friendly and the garden was lovely to sit in. Would definitely go there again.

Saw this place thought we would stop on our way to barmouth, over all a nice place,even though the music playing was to loud,meatloaf is a bit heavy going whilst having lunch.My husband ordered the steak pie I ordered the gammon,The wait wasn't to long...

On several occasions during our visit we were greeted with contempt and overall rudeness. The staff appeared to not want us there. It may be due to our none Welsh friendship group or the fact they hate the idea of “making money”. The food was...

Manager used the F word twice in front of Customers in the bar and barged past my 10 year old daughter shaking her up and upsetting her and my family. I challenged him on this and he was aggressive and rude. This made sense when...

A very busy pub, that provided a reasonably good Sunday lunch at a good price. Disabled access was better using the front door rather than from the back which contained steep staircases.

Although we only stayed one night, can only say how welcomed we were. Staff were really friendly and both food and our room were excellent. Will definitely want to stay there again when in the area and have no difficulty in reccomending this lovely Inn.

We pre booked and came for a nice meal, only to be sat at a small children's table. I couldnt fit my legs underneath. The curry was nice but the steak was fatty and definately not worth the amount of money it cost. The staff...

Flew into Llanbedr for a spot of lunch while touring the Welsh coast. The Victoria Inn was recommended to us by our pilot who had visited here often. The pub is situated in an idyllic little village on the boundaries of Snowdonia National Park, nestled...

Stopped here today for lunch in the beer garden. Absolutely delicious food; honestly the best burger I have ever had! Was a little worried about the cost when we first ordered, as prices are on the steep side (e.g. £7.50 for a children's meal, with...

Just come back after 4 night stay, we were in room 2 very comfy and clean. Good choice of breakfasts and well cooked (I had the full hog) which was superb, Although we were resident we still had to book a table for an evening...

It's a shame to leave a negative review as I have been here several times before and always enjoyed it. We booked a table this evening at 19.15 and it took us almost 40 minutes to get served at which point, when asked how long...

Had a table booked for 9 of us last night. Was fantastic. Everyone’s food was delicious. Big portions also. The place was pretty busy but the food was with us within half hour. The menu was maybe slightly on the small side, but that’s the...

Lovely Sunday lunch served on one of the hottest days if the year. Had the roast pork option, beautiful. All other meals were great. All reasonable priced. Would definitely recommend. Pint of Moretti went down well too, £5 and real ale £4.30

Stopped off at the pub on the way back to the campsite and had a few drinks. Would have eaten but the food was pricey for what it was although the food did look really good. Overall an enjoyable afternoon. Dog friendly. Gets busy inside...

Came to the Victoria in for tea and nothing but rudeness from the staff at first when we phoned up the woman that answered the phone answered my saying “hello mate” as if she was talking to one of her mates , and then when...

OK, it was a late challenge to find somewhere on a day when the fine weather when we set off had turned into a cold dismal day. Any thoughts of fish and chips sitting on a sea wall, gazing at the sea, had long disappeared....

We haven’t been to the Vic since the scamdemic started but thought we would stop for lunch. NO vegetarian main course, NO fish main course Ploughman’s lunch consisted of 1 piece of cheese, If you want another piece you pay another £1.50! HALF a pickled...

Great pub and great food. Very modern, clean and well kept pub with a fantastic beer garden. Amazing to sit and have a drink in the sunshine. The food was lovely, normal pub grub. The Jerk chicken did lack jerk seasoning, tasted plain and a...

Having eaten here a few times, I was looking forward to a revisit. I decided to have the smoked salmon and avocado salad. When it arrived, my heart sank. It was basically a lot of frisee lettuce, a bit of watercress, small amount of raddicio,...

Booked for Sunday lunch 22nd May.Nice welcome at bar and shown to our table. Ordered food at the bar. Did not have to wait long before lunch was brought to the table by a very pleasant waiter.Food was hot and very tasty and cooked to...

We had booked to go for Sunday evening meal here 3 weeks ago. We were so looking forward to a Sunday roast only to be told at 6:30pm they had not got Pork left! Asked for starters before our main meal, only to be told...

After a lovely couple of visits pre-pandemic we were looking forward to Sunday lunch here whilst on holiday in the area again. Unfortunately we were left disappointed and wishing we hadn’t bothered. The greeting we received was lacklustre at best, no smile or hello. Shown...

Ate here and it was really nice but then went back the next day to sit in the lovely beer garden with the lovely sound of the river running past . Would recommend.

The food is excellently priced, dog friendly (which I love), gorgeously decorated, clean and everyone is so pleasant. To the rear of the pub there is a double storey seating area which is quite literally on the beach. We wished we had found the pub...

We were staying down the road in Harlech and thought we would try the Victoria Inn after passing several times in the week. Had a lovely meal in a welcoming pub. Great value to be had and a good selection of drinks. Dog friendly too....

Seats comfy, lovely pub nice ambience. Service was prompt, food was tasty, hot and good value for money. Great they let us bring the dog in.

A few months agoi we had a meal in the Victoria Inn, which was lovely. So last Monday we decided to go again. A big mistake. Was it because it was Monday, and the chef had his day off? The meals we had were bland,...

Had a lovely Christmas lunch here, lovely pub, great food, good price and very friendly staff. Very warm log burner will definately visit again.

Overall very good experience, steak pie was good as was the curry. Nice cosy decor inside. We would have liked a little longer and not have to leave before 2 but understand that they want to rotate as many visits per table as possible to...

The meal at the hotel we were staying at was very disappointing SO we walked to the Victoria inn.. it was very busy ,All tables were cleaned between each lot of customers. The staff were lovely , caring , polite . the meal was delicious...

We called in for an evening meal to find it almost fully booked, but the friendly bar staff found us a table. We were pleased they did. My partner had the fish and chips and I had sweet and sour chicken. The food was served...

Came here for a meal with my husband as it was recommended to us. The decor is lovely and from the outside it looks amazing and thats where it ends. The barman was an absolute misery and not friendly at all. We ordered ribeye steak...

We stayed here for 3 nights. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely and the breakfasts were delicious with a wide choice available. We also had lunch and dinner during our stay in the restaurant and both again were delicious.

Went for lunch on Thursday 23rd.. Thankfully weather OK to sit outside in really pretty garden setting. Inside is beautifully decorated too. Food was OK, not quite what it used to be but aware they had only just reopened that day after holiday. Chicken baskets...

Picturesque setting next to the river artro and lovely sat on river wall with a drink overlooking, lovely garden too with lots of outdoor seating. Barman not the most welcoming on Saturday afternoon unfortunately when asked about food tables that night/Sunday. Inside looks nice, plenty...

4 of us visited for a night recently and had dinner there. It was lucky that we'd booked in advance as the restaurant was very busy. Typical pub grub but very tasty. We also had breakfast which was excellent with lots of choice and very...

It came highly recommended but didn’t live up to expectations. Due to some alterations had to wait all week to book a table, but managed to get one. In the current climate I expected to see at least the staff wearing masks,

Customer service poor - surly, unfriendly barman, wrong food order came to our table, long wait, no apologies, no checks to make sure our meal was okay when it finally came, had to chase staff for condiments as none were offered, no please, thank you...

We were staying nearby and managed to book a table 2 days in advance, be aware that booking is essential as it is very popular with guests, locals and visitors. The food was lovely, the surroundings, decor and gardens pretty and service was good despite...
