Torrent Walk Hotel in Gwynedd

Lovely, welcoming pub. Good beer and ambience. Highly recommended.

Good food, graet beer. Late decision to eat there, hadn't booked but they made space for us on what seemed to be a very busy evening.

Called in a couple of times whilst visiting the area. Really busy pub, very cosy, great atmosphere, well priced drinks.

My family and I visited the torrent for Sunday lunch and the food was delicious. The portions are great, lovely Yorkshire puddings and plenty of vegetables on the side too! However, despite the food being lovely we wouldn’t visit again. The service from one of the ladies behind the bar was extremely poor and bordering on rude. On arrival, I went to the bar to order drinks and was kept waiting for 10 minutes.. which I understand when busy , however, when I was eventually acknowledged, she said she wouldnt take my drink order without taking my food order first and put her hand up to my face to stop me ordering drinks. I was surprised to receive such cold service in what looked like a warm welcoming pub.

Cannot recommend this pub enough. Nice and warm, really good food (tried quite a few different menu choices over the times we have stopped in Dolgellau and all are fabulous. Cannot fault anything) and a comfortable atmosphere.

We’ve eaten here quite a few times during our holiday. Lovely atmosphere, superb Sunday Dinner and the meals we had on other nights were just as good. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely beer, lovely food, around friendly place.

The nice pub with good food and a good atmosphere. The service was very accommodating.

Great Sunday roast best in Dol and surrounding area, great service but the food is really good. Good pub 👍

Frank Kafka recommended a visit , I took the video camera and a bag of Marggie Herbert’s … then sat back and chilled We invited Nico to sing a couple of wilfully obscure songs accompanied by her harmonium. Then one of the Bertrand Russell twins necked a bottle of cake oil To top it off I swear I saw one of the dogs from Blue Peter (tv show ) Would definitely revisit if in the area

Awesome food even better when Dad pays

Centre of Dolgellau, great atmosphere. Great Beer 🍺 super food, fantastic friendly bar staff. Wednesday there was live music on. Working in area for few day's, will be back 👍👍🍺

Afternoon of music and great atmosphere 👌

Rating for the restaurant: The food was above average for a pub. The burger was delicious, the meat was well seasoned and had nice roasted aromas. The Steak & Ale Pie was beautifully presented. The puff pastry is crispy. The meat is tender. Unfortunately the gravy was a bit watery and bitter. The vegetables were crunchy, the mashed potatoes were good, but unseasoned. Large portions and overall very good value for money.

Fabulous meal tonight. Varied menu with plenty of choice and the portions are plentiful. Highly recommend.

** did not stay just popped in for food** but I'm sure the rooms are as lovely as the restaurant! Came in with the dog sat in the bar area first then moved to the other side, everyone was extremely welcoming, friendly, and so lovely, nothing was an issue, and everyone was really nice! The food might seem pricey, but for the quality and quantity you get, it's definitely amazing prices as the food is absolutely unreal!

Great atmospheric pub with really good food and a nice location. A short walk from the nearby campsite/holiday park as well, which is handy.

I only know about the food. Had a roast here as a family. Exceptionally good - the best roast I have had in years!

Absolutely fabulous. Great friendly helpful staff, amazingly tasty meals and good portion sizes. Would definitely recommend x

Drinks - just be aware if you order a diet tonic it's Britvic LOW CALORIE and very sweet, like lemonade, not the pubs fault but if you drink tonic you want it to taste like it, if I had wanted Lemonade I would have ordered one. I handed it back to the bar staff to throw way. I suggest you change suppliers. (I have had diet Britvic in the past and its been fine, just like other well known diet brands) We'd been to the pub before about two years ago and had a great night and cracking meal. We happened to be in the area so decided to return as it had been so nice. The menu was a bit disappointing. I ordered the Veggie Lasagne, I asked for Chips and Salad, the salad was full of Onion, the chips were in a metal basket that let everything get cold and was easily caught and tipped over due to the long handle. The lasagne was dry and had lumps of broccoli and large slices of carrot, it came in a plate on a trencher board which was just a bit weird and unnecessary. My husband had the pork belly, nicely presented but a bit small and they aren't over generous with the veg, I can't remember what the other two had but lets just say they weren't impressed. We are guessing the chef has changed. We get that covid messed stuff up but both our visits are post covid. We weren't asked if everything was alright, we weren't offered coffee or dessert. I noticed that this happened about 50% of the time to other diners. Two of us work in hospitality in Wales and I have waitressed, we get it's busy, we get we aren't local, but it's August but this is pretty basic.

I recommend all the food, delicious 🫶🇵🇱🏴NOŚCI

On the face of it this a regular and unremarkable pub… however the food is very very good….worth a visit is you’re looking for somewhere to eat. More than reasonably priced and really well presented….

Excellent food Good cure Nice location house out in the sun (August :)

We had food only and it was very good indeed. The warm peach, salted caramel and cookie bits pudding was so delicious.

Excellent meal and very friendly and prompt service. The pork belly, burgers and veggie options all very good, nice beers as well..

The Torrent was a great choice for our family’s Sunday lunch in Dolgellau recently. Staff were extremely busy but very friendly and responsive, plates were piping hot, food was delicious and portions very good. All six of us thought it was excellent and have been recommending it to all!! We returned for two more lunchtime meals later in the week and will naturally return when we are next visiting. Well done to the leader/team on making the Torrent the place to go for a great meal. Diolch yn fawr i chi gyd.

Came here from trip advisor review then was not sure when I saw menu🙈thought it was just typical pub food but it was absolutely gorgeous, more like restaurant food but great price!! Staff lovely, highly recommend

Lovely pub, varied menu, nice food. Good atmosphere with the separate restaurant and pub. Would go again if we were in the area :)

Grest food, lovely staff. Best pub in town

Dog friendly. Lovely food, the steak and ale pie was delicious. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Spent 5 nights in Dolgellau, and so far, we've eaten here on 3 evenings. I've had something different each time, and all have been superb. They have a nice, varied menu, and everything has been beautifully prepared and presented, good tasty food for a very reasonable price. Staff have been really friendly and the place has a nice atmosphere with plenty of locals eating here too. They also have a good range of ales and beers on tap! Don't miss this place, you won't be disappointed!

Great food, friendly atmosphere and excellent service 👌

Recommended by the campsite owner, she was spot on. Excellent food, great beer, attentive staff, friendly atmosphere. I'd go back to Dolgellau just to revisit this place. Highest recommendation after two visits!

Thanks so much to Team Torrent for looking after our party of 11 people and dog last night. Great choice on menu and everyone enjoyed their food including veggie and vegans. Good service and warm welcome. Highly recommended.

Great place for a quick drink. Food is really good.ideak stop after the mawdach estuary

Village pub with outdoor seating

Smaller plated Sunday lunch excellent value. Lots of veg. Delicious rhubarb crumble. Friendly, helpful staff.

We had food here this evening. It was delicious. The portions were big and the quality was excellent. Very good value for money. If you are wanting some food and are in the area 10/10 would recommend. The staff were also very helpful and welcoming. Thank you so much. We will be back

Fantastic food, dog friendly and cosy atmosphere. Also good vegetarian options.

Really good friendly pub, food and drinks were excellent

This is a great pub. The food was excellent and the ales were locally brewed. Well worth a visit. The lamb rump was delicious.

Friendly place, nice beers and great food

Very friendly and hospitable staff/owners. Lovely food, very generous portions and reasonable prices. Will definitely return..

The food is incredible, great portion size and excellent value for money.

Impromptu dinner on Easter Sunday, food was simply gorgeous. Service was friendly and came out with perfect timing. Definitely recommended! Dog friendly too!

The cellar bar is very cosy and inviting. The beers are excellent. The food is exceptional and the portions huge. Vegetarian options available. Reasonably priced.

A great local boozer.. The main bar area is snug & cosy with an open fire… A warm welcome from the bar staff.. We did try and book a table for 7 .. The Torrent do not take bookings. Just turn up… The restaurant area is not as cosy as the bar however it is fine… With lots of posters over the years advertising the Dolgellau music festival Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau… Which occurs every July.. We had a range of meals . Gammon steak. Pie of the day. Chicken Parma. Lamb curry etc… All meals were very tasty and plentiful. I believe the chef is named Gary… The meals were delicious thank you. They cater for gluten free and veggie also.. A good selection of local & guest ales… The wine selection was fine also… Oh and also very dog friendly… Whoof!

Lovely food, great portion size and great service!

Went to watch the England Wales Rugby and had a few drinks had a very pleasant experience

Great wholesome dinner menu. Excellent service too. We hadn't book rooms here.

Having heard many good things from friends about the food at the Torrent, we decided to visit for a small family get together on a wet Friday lunchtime (Feb 24). The Torrent is right in the heart of Dolgellau, a small farming town so don't expect it to be grand with plush furnishings, what it is, is cosy, friendly, and comfortable. The staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. We sat in the dining room and ordered from a well presented menu with plenty of choice. The food was brilliant, my wife had the curry, which the chef kindly added extra heat to (she likes it spicy hot). All the dishes were excellent, arrived hot, well presented, were well portioned, and best of all very tasty. The price? well five of us ate, and had six drinks (including 2 large and 1 medium pinot), all for £104, which i feel was fantastic value for money, not including the tip which we left separately. If you're thinking of going, i would urge you to try the Torrent, the food is great, as are the staff. Thanks for a lovely lunch!

I have visited this real ale bar many times in the winter. 7/2/24, no central heating, and log fire not lit. Perishing! Could only manage 2 pints before having to go elsewhere. A real shame.

Great pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere....aided by the heat being produced by the wood fired stove! A fantastic selection of hand pulled real ales, including the brilliant Titanic Brewery's "Plum Porter", make this place an essential part of any trip to Dolgellau and I can't recommend it highly enough.

This place is amazing! We only popped in one evening for a cider. But, it taught me the value of quality over quantity. It’s such a beautiful little spot in a beautiful town, and the people and fire made our time in wales so much better. Thank you for the work you do and the space you have created! 🙏🏼✨

Spędzamy tu drugi wieczór i jesteśmy mile zaskoczeni . Obsługa bardzo miła , miejsce przyjemne i nastrojowe . Ceny przystępne .

Lovely food and beer, in a great setting with friendly staff. The new outdoor seating area makes an old favourite a great place to visit in the summer. The Christmas display is amazing too ❤️

The bar woman needs to cheer up a bit otherwise a great pub

Lovely helpful staff and food superb will definitely come again. Also enjoyed soup that was provided to medical staff and volunteers at the covid clinics. Well done Torrent Walk hotel!

Great local pub for food and drinks Great dog friendly pub. We ate here on 3 nights during our week in Dolgellau. The food and drink were great and there was always a livley mix of locals and tourists both inside and out.

Fabulous Sunday roast. Great selection of vegetables with all the usual Sunday trimmings! Well worth the money. Thoroughly recommend!!!

Great food, beer and staff! Happy days!

They have a great restaurant. The food is excellent and the prices are moderate. I haven't used the rooms, so I don't have an opinion, but it was nice and clean inside the hotel. I used a very clean and comfortable toilet. I would recommend this place even though it is a bit on the side of the main street.

Good basic pub grub at a reasonable price. They were a bit short of bar staff, but the food came quickly. Nice atmosphere.

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch, service was tip top. Really cosy, the locals were lovely, and all had a little chat with us. Highly recommend, will definitely return the next time we're in the area.

Called in for food on a Saturday night, very cosy bar. Staff are friendly and the food was great. Would definitely recommend and go again. Guinness is decent too :-)

Didn't stay in a room but went for dinner with six mates on a hillwalking trip and the food was fantastic. Staff and service also excellent. Couldn't fault the place.

Brilliant service and location. Highly Recommended 👍

What a find, lovely quant pub. Stopped for food when passing through on way home from Barmouth and did not disappoint. Had the pie of the day which was minted lamb. Came with a choose of chips or mash and a generous side of mixed veg, which consisted of carrots cauliflower beans braised red cabbage courgettes and sprouts. Would recommend to anyone and we will be back for more.

Fantastic as always.....the staff and Gareth do an amazing job.....the food the atmosphere the place......outstanding......and there Sunday lunch is the best we have ever had......

Just wanted to say it's the best pub meal we have had for a very long time.3 of us had the today's special lamb and mint pie served with chips or mash with a selection of fresh vegetables and plenty of it all for £16 each. We all really enjoyed it will definitely be back very soon.

Absolutely amazing roast dinner and really nice beer on draught. The best roast dinner all three of us have had out in a very long time with plenty of sides. We had lamb shank, and one veggie roast which was a cauliflower, brie and cranberry parcel which my friend said was delicious! Would definitely reccomend!

What more could you ask for on a wet and windy night. Great food and a warm welcome. Outstanding menu and wonderful staff

We ate here on 3 nights during our week in Dolgellau. The food and drink were great and there was always a livley mix of locals and tourists both inside and ou.

We visited one lunch time and chose the special, minted lamb pie. It was delicious and the pastry was so light and flaky. We had it with mash and veg and the portions were big enough that hubby had to finish mine

We visited the Torrent Walk twice, lovely atmosphere inside & out. First visit the kitchen was about to close however they made the time and served us a delicious pie of the day (great filling, proper mash & great selection of veg) & burger for my 15yr old. Both were excellent. With a great selection of beer & food we visited, once again top notch. Throughly recommended for families.

Great open mic night, amazing live music, we were only here for the music and drinks but had a great time

Very lively with a band playing. Food really fabulous and service excellent. We had rump of lamb with loads of good vegetables

Recommendation from guesthouse for dinner, did not dissapoint, great food, friendly service and in a beautiful village square.

I rang the restaurant to ask if they could accommodate a group of nine, they said yes so I said I would check with the others and ring back in a few minutes. When I rang back to book the table I was eventually answered and a different lady took the call, I explained what had happened and said I was calling to book the table the other lady had said was ok, and this one simply and very abruptly said “we don’t take bookings” and that was the end of the call! Well after driving for six hours to have my daughters wedding locally, this venues curt and dismissive attitude lost them maybe £300+ in business

We visited with family for lunch. Excellent service and the best lamb & mint pie I have ever tasted anywhere. Honestly my mouth is watering just thinking about it now! Portions were enormous too.

We visited this pub/restaurant on our recent visit to Dolgellau. There was a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and the staff were extremely pleasant and efficient. This pub offered quite unusual dishes which were very enjoyable, would thoroughly recommend!

Het eten overtrof de verwachting. De bediening was vriendelijk en de locatie prima. Goed voor een leuke avond. Een aanrader was de lam, precies goed bereid. Wat jammer was dat er geen vooraf was, maar het toetje maakte het meer dan goed, hemels.

We ate here twice on our recent visit to Dolgellau. Absolutely fantastic food, all freshly cooked to order. Really good menu, certainly not your average pub grub. Would definitely return when next in the area.

First place we stopped before getting to our air bnb. Lovely pub..have been back several times had the seafood pasta and my husband had the beetroot and feta tart..yummy food..great atmosphere would recommend.

We called in on a walk around Dolgallau to look for somewhere to eat on our final night in the area. So we popped in for a quick drink, had a chat with the locals and after a look at the menu it made our...

Just had an evening meal with one of my best friends. Welsh Lamb. (the meal not my best friend). Could not fault it. Absolutely delicious. Definitely doing that again.

Great find, popped in for lunch after a good walk with our dogs. Nice friendly atmosphere friendly staff. Good choice of real ale and lunchtime menu. Ale and food excellent. We will return and throughly recommend

It was out first time visiting Dolgellau and we popped in for food. There seemed to be an event at the front of the pub but luckily there were a few tables at the back if the pub. The food came to the table within...

I love the Sunday roast. You can choose from turkey, beef and lamb (there is a vegetarian option as well). My favourite is the roast beef. Lots of vegetables and a very large yourkshire pudding. Great atmosphere and fantastic staff

The food was outstanding! Every dish that came out of the kitchen had everyone following with their eyes. So tasty, and really good value.

The most delicious food. Presentation was amazing and value for money. Staff very friendly and made to feel very welcome. Everything is home made and you can tell. Amazing.

If you want the worlds best roast dinner with the most wonderful hosts then come here. We got lucky and booked on the day but I would recommend booking in advance. I'm being completely genuine when I say 'the world's best roast dinner'.... My mum...

Went here tonight, the food was great. 3 different meals, all good. Home cooked, properly. Would highly recommemd

Amazing Sunday lunch at the torrent this afternoon. Great choice of meats and plenty of veg. My favourite part of the meal was the delicious pineapple upside down cake. So delicious!! Please keep this on the menu, I think the chef’s name was jakeos who...

Two couples holidaying in Dolgellau. We visited and ate at the Torrent twice. The food was excellent and good value and the atmosphere friendly. Staff were good and vey well worth eating there

We’ve been visiting Dolgellau for about 5 years now and each time we visit we are never disappointed with the food in this very friendly pub. It would seem Gareth and his team are trying to raise the standards year by year and they were...

We both opted for the pie and were so glad we did. There was a very generous amount of tender chunks of lamb and it was served with a good range of tasty vegetables and proper chips. Great atmosphere with a mix of local people...

Great pub, cask ale fresh and well kept. Sunday lunch good and good value for money. Had dinner another night and again very good. Nice to see a really busy pub with a mix of ages

Sunday lunch here is not fancy, and it is not pretentious. What you get is good value home cooking style cuisine. Each roast comes with Yorkshire pudding and pigs in blankets, plus a generous and varied selection of vegetables. Bill for four adults and three...

We booked Sunday lunch at the Torrent to celebrate a family milestone. We were so impressed. It was absolutely delicious! We were very impressed with the three size options, there was a dinner size to suit all. All in all we had a lovely time...
