Ye Olde Bull Inn in Conwy

Really nice place. There's only a short window for food, so I was told - 5-6.30 - but the food is amazing, eaten outside with a stunning view and lovely staff.

Absolutely fantastic country pub brilliant atmosphere food amazing and views are spectacular and the pub cat is lovely too

Fabulous old village pub. So much history. Great atmosphere and a cracking pint of John Willie Lee's beer. Would definitely recommend if you are in the Conwy area. We'll see you again

Given the 5 star reviews I was very unhappy to of recieved the Hostile welcome from the barmaid, we went to celebrate my brothers Birthday and she clearly Did nt Like, us 😢felt so uncomfortable sitting there, we decide to eat somewhere else, At least give people a chance, we wernt rowdy or antisocial, I don't. Know the owners, it's not a Revenge post or anything but I will say how it is and there's absolutely no need to be treated this Way, we are decent citizens 😢

Rachel at the bull has put on a number of special occasions for our family and always does us proud with lovely home made food , great atmosphere and friendly service in the old pub.

Highly recommend if staying at the Garden Inn Hilton. 5mins drive to a traditional pub with stunning views, fantastic home cooked food (the pies are amazing!) and a warm welcome.

Great for the thirsty walker. We didn't eat this time

I love this olde pub. Really small, really really old, great ambience so brilliant in every way. And the beer is good too!!! (food to order in advance)

Lovely food, great value for money, friendly staff and dog friendly! Nice outdoor seating area overlooking gorgeous views. Highly recommend

Was here for a local quiz fundraising night. The locals are phenomenal! What a great community, unforgettable evening. Thank you for having us!

Excellent customer service and food.

Wow ! ! What a lovely place, the staff are the making of this place, the food is "delicious" and the welcome in the hill side " is definitely hear,,the Welsh singing will blow your mind, best night ever, 5 🍻 pints of larger 2 bags of peanuts and I was in heaven xx thank you Rachel xx

Small, rustic pub, in the second half of the week also with warm food. Very cozy, original. Friendly staff and interesting guests. A great view of the mountains from the beer garden 🏞. We recommend.

Simply one of the best pubs I've ever visited (and there are a lot of those!). Lovely beer, friendly staff, amazing setting with fantastic views of the countryside. Can't recommend highly enough.

A great place to stop in for a quick pint after a long day exploring Wales. Lady behind the bar was super friendly and helpful! Shame we weren't staying longer and been around on the weekend for their food!

Country pub absolutely bursting with character. Friendly staff and well priced drinks on offer. Nice beer garden and covered area to rear of the building, with beautiful views over the Conwy valley.

Wonderful pub, we were staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Snowdonia which to be honest doesn't offer a nice restaurant environment so we decided to seek out a local pub. We called in for a drink, liked the place and friendly service and checked they were going to be serving food the next day (Sunday). Today, we called for our early dinner, the pub was busy (bank holiday) and clearly has a good local following. They were all very friendly with their service and the atmosphere is lovely. Great pub, really nice people, lovely home-cooked food and a beautiful view of the valley from the carpark. We both choose pies, steak pie and turkey and ham pie, washed down with a pint. Both pies were stuffed with meat, lovely. Perfect and highly recommended.

We were with a number of our friends at Ye Old Bull Inn, in North Wales. The food was lovely and the beer was outstanding!

Lovely olde worlde about the place

Lovely little place and great service.

Great local pub with a family atmosphere. Lovely food, great service

Outstanding views, extremely helpful staff and great food

We love the Bull, lovely welcome, service great, always welcome, food is lovely for a small pub. Views are to amazing. Highly recommended if you never been here put it on your bucket list.

Very friendly staff and they've got a great beer garden BUT just to let you know they only do food on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Apparently they might do Thurs in holidays but check with them. It's in amazing surroundings but we had to go elsewhere for food.

Nice traditional pub. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

Lovely friendly place, great pint of JW Lees too...

Wonderful local pub. Great atmosphere, tremendous beer, friendly staff and locals.

Great friendly pub. With great food, great atmosphere and the most amazing views and lovely outdoor sitting areas. Well worth a visit

Just reopen and very nice job done got to give the new management team 10 out 10 Food i think will back on soon and found everyone very friendly. Interesting one posting was no fire and not dog friendly please give it another go

We spent a week in the vicinity and went to the Bull every evening for a couple of beers whilst dinner cooked. The new owner has cleaned up the place and is making further changes. Food will be back on the menu soon (Late 2019).

Visited the Bull for an evening meal after being let down by nearby hotel. We were a party of eight plus a baby and three dogs. We were met by the door by staff who were so welcoming. There was a roaring fire. And the food was delicious seven of us had the pie on the recommendation of the waitress it was home made and delicious. My husband has a wheat intolerance and he had a good choice to choose from but settled for fish cakes which he said was also delicious. What a find. Kind friendly staff, delicious food and wine, warm and welcoming.

The pub is now under new management. They no longer serve food, they aren't dog friendly, don't always have a nice fire going and aren't all that welcoming. We won't be going back.

This pub is slightly off the beaten track but well worth the drive or walk up from the main road. The character of the pub is unrivaled in the immediate area and is totally authentic. It's small so can get really busy, but that's a good thing. The views across the local valley are first rate too.

After a day of sight seeing this pub was warm and welcoming with a roaring fire, fresh home cooked food, cottage pie that melted in mouth. Portions mighty fine too. Great value and well worth a visit .

Visited the old Bull a fair number of times whilst on holiday in this beautiful part of wales. The Bull has all the ingredients of a traditional welsh village inn, cosy, clean, very friendly locals, consistent high quality of the beers and food, which are of excellent value. But the most important ingredient at the Bull is their front of house staff, they have the art of friendly hospitality down to a tee. Warmly greeted on each visit, served with a smile and little chat, terrific service. Special thanks to Lesley and to all the staff at Ye Old Bull Inn. 5. STAR in everyway.

Delightful bar & restaurant, food was delicious & very helpful barmaid, I tried to pay with card but they didn't take cards so they said I could pay next day passing, luckily I made it to the post office to get cash before it closed but I thought that it was a nice gesture as we where staying in the area for a week, the steak pie & gammon dinners where beautiful & the choice of draught beers where lovely, we will be back next year again on holidays. AAA+

Este solía ser un pub muy super, pero creo que ha cambiado de manos y que parece haber perdido su camino.

Encantador, auténtica vieja boozer. Visitamos como alojarse cerca. Tanto clientes habituales y el personal era muy amable, y el j.w. lees amargo era muy buena. También se puede recomendar el concurso jueves! Importante terraza en la parte trasera no es evidente de inmediato desde el frente, así que se puede disfrutar de las vistas mientras que beber y comer.

Very welcoming people,food was hot and very tasty. We had beef lasagne, veg lasagne and gammon steak. All served with homemade chips. Beautiful.

Excellent little country pub. Lovely pint of guiness and fantastic views from the beer garden. Defiantly worth a visit.

Pasó por un par de cervezas y cena cuando estés cerca. Este es un auténtico pequeño, acogedor pub. Personal amable, buena cerveza, comidas caseras. Nuestro grupo tenía la torta de carne, lasaña vegetal y el pescado y patatas fritas. Todo era excelente, con buenas papas fritas caseras y el bateador pescado y tarta pastelería dieron en el clavo. No fino, utilidad justo lo que quieres después de un día en las montañas!!!

We stayed nearby and went for drinks and food here. Staff were very friendly , pub very clean, locals very friendly. Lovely views outside over the hills. we ate on one night and had the home made Beef and Ale pie with chips, peas and gravy and it was AMAZING, worth going back justtot have the pie again.

Popped in for lunch last week whilst staying in Conwy (15-20 min drive). We'd headed here specifically because we knew it was dog friendly. Food was good, straightforward pub grub and very reasonable. Log fire was burning which created a cosy atmosphere. We were given a really warm welcome by staff and the locals and would not hesitate to return next time were in the area. Tilly, our miniature schnauzer was treated to lots of snacks and cant wait to go back ;0)

We stayed in the village for two weeks and The Bull became our focal point. We visited every day for a drink or a meal and to chat with the friendly locals and bar staff. The food is plain, but plentiful and extremely tasty. The beer is excellent and the social interaction was fantastic. We made a great many new friends and loved this pub and the wonderful village. We highly recommend a visit to The Old Bull; have a chat with the amazing bar staff, order a meal and enjoy the beer. There is also a spectacular view of the Conwy Valley to be had from the outdoor terrace at the rear of the pub. Can't wait to return to our favourite pub!

visited the bulls head a number of times whilst on holiday in the village,the real ale and the home cooked food was outstanding,very reasonably priced and well presented.we had a very warm welcome from the staff and locals,Lesley and Natalie were on duty on each of our visits,both very efficient,extremely friendly and helpful.a very good chef producing quality food,fine ales, lovely staff,large open fire,a cosy and a old worlde interior. all this creates the perfect welsh country inn.

Really welcoming simple pub, tucked away above the Conwy Valley. Roaring fire, good beer and decent Sunday lunch (might only be 2 choices but really tasty and great value at £8.50 for 1 course Sunday lunch or £11.50 for 2 courses). Locals and bar staff very friendly and dogs more than welcome. Will be back!

Was staying in the local area and the Old Bull was recommended, the food and service didn't dissappoint.

We called here today It was wet and miserable The Pub seems to be in a quiet location but when we entered it was busy in the Bar.Be aware that there is no card facility in operation so it cash only.We ordered Curry and it was served quickly and piping hot.The view from the Car park was hampered by the weather but on a clear day this must be one of the best views from a Pub Car Park

We stayed in a cottage up the road, this fabulous pub quickly became our local. The building is beautiful, the food is fantastic (enormous portions) but the best thing of all is the staff, Lesley behind the bar is great, nothing too much trouble, and Rachel or should I say 'Raquell' is a great chef, we went into the pub on a Tuesday when she wasn't working so no food available, however she called in with her children on her day off for a drink and seeing that we were looking to eat opened up the kitchen and cooked for us - what an amazing lady, I hope the landlord and landlady appreciate what amazing staff they have - truly great.The locals were very friendly and our dog Frank was very well looked after, I really can't recommend this pub enough, we will definitely return when next in WalesPS Sunday lunch is to die for!

We were made very welcome and all the food was really home made and not the usual pretence. The steak pie was great and so was the lasagne - the chips were nice and chunky and not from a freezer. the price was also very good working out at £11.00 each including soft drinks.

My husband, me, n 2 friends called there yesterday afternoon and had fantastic food. We had 2 x Steak Pie, 1x Turkey n Ham pie and Ham Egg n Chips.The food was gorgeous and a big plus for us is the chips were home-made.The service was fantastic.The lady behind the bar was lovely and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.Highly recommend it .We're planning on a return visit with a mini bus trip 10 out of 10

Was a good night out, we were really well looked after,the food was well presented and not a long wait would recommend to anyone

We visited on June 27, a Saturday evening. Very busy but nothing is too much trouble to the staff. We both had Lasagne with an extra portion of onion rings... all I can say is 'you better be hungry' it was a huge meal. Real good homemade food. Will definitely be going back.

We recently had a weeks holiday in a cottage just a matter of 200 yards from this pub so we naturally visited it on numerous occasions. This small pub is absolutely lovely with a great atmosphere and friendly locals. Good beer, great food and an open fire for those cold evenings. We will be going back to the same cottage so will be visiting this pub again.

Arrived after a full day's walking and found the pub to be busy. But other customers shoved up to make more room, and even vacated a table for us. This is everything a local pub should be: friendly staff, friendly locals, blazing coal fire - and all this in a lovely setting. The only potential problem was that I thought we had been undercharged - but 6 meals really did come to less than £50!

Had lunch here today. Excellent value for money. Lovely roast food plentiful.Attentive staff. Lovely location. my only complaint was the walkers that arrived with their own food and ordrered one drink which lasted for their duration. If it was my pub I would put a charge per head on customers bringing their own food.

Called in to book for a group I am taking over to Llanbedr y Cennin next Spring. Cold day left behind as a roaring fire welcomed us as warmly as landlady(?) Marilyn. The menu is extensive with plenty of 'specials' - all reasonably priced and cooked to order. Home-made lasagne went down extremely well with my daughter whilst my friend and I enjoyed steak pie fresh from the local butcher. Portions (as Marilyn laughingly remarked) are meant to satisfy the local farmers - they must have good appetites!Do give this lovely old pub a try - and enjoy a walk round the surrounding countryside with its glorious views of the Conwy valley.

Very welcoming friendly old stone village pub serving top notch pub grub. Excellent real ale and fair priced wine with a great view from the rear terrace. We booked a table in the bar for 7pm and were intending to leave about 9pm. Having had a very enjoyable meal with a good bottle of wine we got chatting to some locals and ended up staggering down the hill at 1am after an extremely enjoyable evening.

We stopped off here on our journey from Cheshire to Llandudno. Put it in your satnav because it's off the main road. It's well worth a visit, but please note that meals are only available on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The meals are delicious, generous, served piping hot and the service is friendly and efficient. The locals too were very friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It is a small pub with a traditional country pub layout. The views from the outside terrace are amazing.

As this is the local of friends we were staying with it was great to eat at a typical pub. The atmosphere was warmly welcoming, the staff were fantastically friendly and the food comforting! We had a great night here and would be very happy to visit again.

The beer and choice of wine was very good.The menu is not very traditional, mixes dishes I would not necessarily tried but worked, well presented and of a high standardMy partner thought the décor could have a polish up.The reason it did not get a five is due to not being able to book a table. I do not like having to go earlier to ensure we got a table

We were looking for a good country pub with some wholesome food after a day on the beach at Aberyconwy. We found Ye Olde Bull Inn as it was well rated on Trip Advisor. I'd re-iterate what other reviewers have said - proper 'pub grub', large portions and a good selection of ales on tap. Food was piping hot, served quickly and if you sit outside there are beautiful views of Snowdonia. 4 of us ate for under £30 with drinks which was great value too. Only thing I would suggest would be some options for the kids that didn't involve chips...although they were great chips!

Ye Olde Bull is the quintessential country pub. It is a J.W. Lees Pub. So the J.W. Lees Bitter is the favored beverage. But they have other beers. And they also have wines. The Lamb Burger ( made with Welsh lamb of course) served with chips and peas was one of the best meals I have ever had. Simple, but great. Ye Olde Bull is not too far outside the 13th Century Castle town of Conwy in North Wales. This is a magic corner of the world. We are blessed to have friends who live in Conwy and so have been there many times.

As a group of 12 drunk in this pub over a long weekend and ate here on a Saturday night. Real country pub , real fires, traditional decor and stunning location run by friendly staff, Food and service were very good and we were given our own dining room. Only negative for me was that only 1 ale is available , however there is a wide choice of all other drinks including lagers.

Popped in for a pint while passing last week had a nice pint and a very good meal. Nice young lady on the bar couldn't be more helpfully will call again

Really friendly pub where the staff are more than happy to help.When it says 'home cooked' food they genuinely mean it, the chips have been cut by hand and aren't just frozen.Open log fire and dog friendly too!

Two friends out hill walking from Rowen, we stopped for a pint. Great beer, amazing fish 'n' chips in a basket, lovely staff and friendly patrons. Planning a return trip.

Had to visit this pub whilst on holiday as it was literally yards from the cottage we rented. Went in for Sunday lunch, 5 of us had a variety of meals and desserts - the Welsh lamb was delicious as was everything else. Well cooked and presented and piping hot. We ate in the cosy dining room and, whilst we waited for the meal, sat outside on the terrace overlooking the stunning Conwy estuary. Beautiful setting. It was so good we visited again on the Thursday evening for dinner and the quiz - delicious steaks. Friendly pub, the staff and locals made us feel very welcome. Would certainly recommend.

Four of us went here for lunch last week. Sitting outside in the sunshine looking out over the great view. The food was good value and the beer excellent. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Would definitely return.

we had a party of 5 with diverse tastes and appetites, all very happy with the food , with the steak pie just having the edge over the fish and chips. The staff couldn't have been more pleasant or efficient, it was a very pleasant evening in good surroundings.It will be on our personal recommended list from now on

We were nearby and sought out The Bull from trip advisor. Nice pub & proper beer garden,friendly landlord, decent beers and a very nice steak pie! If you are nearby visit.

Have just had a sandwich for lunch, sitting outside looking out over beautiful countryside down to the river. Looking forward to returning soon for a meal Lovely atmosphere and very pleasant staff.

Having travelled quite often on the B5106 from Conwy to Llanrwst we had noticed a small black and white sign for Ye Olde Bull Inn on the road just before passing the Y Bedol pub. On a Friday evening we decided to follow the sign to see what the inn was like. The pub is in a elevated position with views from the small car park of the picturesque Conwy valley. The pub is a very small 17th. century inn with a relaxed atmosphere and a roaring log fire - just the job on a cold April evening! The landlord and locals were very welcoming considering we had not visited before. The pub had two real ales on draught (Lee's brewery) and a well stocked bar. Our meals were tasty, piping hot and good value for money. The bar area has only half a dozen small tables; we ate at a table next to the fire. There is a seperate dining room available if prefered.We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and will certainly return.

This lovely pub gives you top class home cooking, I just could not fault it in any way from the moment that you walk in the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, have had a few sunday lunches and they are of top quality food and there is always a choice of meats and fresh vegetables every time there is also is a number of choices on tbe menu too this pubs food is one of the best I have eaten in and you would not be disappointed if you went the sevice is excellent the staff are lovely. Top class pub in every way wont be long before I will be there again.

we went for a family lunch on sunday, carvery type, food was to die for, mash potatoes so creamy chicken, beef was absolutely divine, we will go back soon , top marks, service was fast and restaurant very clean.

Came across The Bull whilst exploring the beautiful Conwy valley,a pleasant surprise ! Greeted by cheerful staff and a warming (well stoked)autumnal fire.A traditional and good old fashioned Welsh pub,highly recommended.

Excellent the best in the village !!!!! Food and the owners fantastic !!!!!! We return every couple months on holiday and we love it x

I just wanted to say “thank you” for a lovely evening at Ye Olde Bull we had a really great time and it was a lovely atmosphere! Everyone (all 12 of us hungry hikers) thoroughly enjoyed the food so compliments to the chef. Thanks for being so welcoming! We felt really well looked after.See you again when we next venture back to Wales to climb those beautiful mountains!

My partner and I spent last weekend staying in the Conway Valley enjoying the views and chilling. We found Ye olde Bull to be a quaint and frendly country Pub, the welcome was lovely, and as the evening wore on, we found out that it was a family run concern, with Sian and Craig living on the premises. We enjoyed the food we both had ribs and chips with plenty of Bitter and Larger. I would also like to disagree with the one negative review, and will definitely visit again. Thanks E & M.

We organised a trail from the west of North Wales to Llanbedr on a glorious day Sat. 22nd Sept.35 of us were greeted with a great welcome by Sian, Craig and Tom, helped by Connor, who had prepared a wondrous soup;Earlier visits over the last few months of preparations for this day we have met Elvyn, Marion, Cerys and Jess each of whom gave us a great welcome and excellent service and friendship.We are a group who visit a different pub every week mostly in Yorkshire and Ye Olde Bull Inn matched the best of the real ales and lager (quaffed in quantity on this day).We all would disagree with the one negative review on this page and. next time we are in North Wales, we certainly would visit this lovely village and pub again and advise everyone to make their way to Ye Olde Bull Inn.Thanks for a lovely visit.

I recently visited the Bull and tried two of the draught largers on offer,San muigel and Carlsberg. Both lagers were lighter in colour than usual and stank of what can only be described as rotten eggs. They tasted dreadful. The pub itself is ok, but could do with a good clean. Also, the young man that served me did nothing but sniff over and over again which was so off putting, vile and rude.Would not recommend.

Myself and my boyfriend have visited this pub several times on our conwy trips. It really is worth a visit. You will receive a lovely warm welcome by the landlady and her Sri Lankan Curry is an absolute must. We go there especially for that! They made our dog very welcome too which we have found to be rare in Wales. Beautiful views on a clear day too.

Ali, the landlady, will make you welcome. Good home cooked food. Interesting interior to the bar/lounge - lots of miscellaneous bits and bobs to look at and discuss. Animal friendly with excellent outdoor facilities with wonderful views of the River Conwy. Historic inn on an ancient drover's trail. Interesting villiage church and good for bird watchers. If you like to camp out, the pub has a paddock (with stream!) for you to use. Latest specialist evening to become a regular feature is Sunday curry evening in conjunction with a local restaurant. A good place for lunch or dinner for both locals and visitors.
