The best restaurants serving British food in North Wales

2 of the main courses were unavailable. The vegetables for the lamb course were unavailable. Alternative vegetables were given which were undercooked and cold. Potato was tasteless and cold . Did mention it to waiter whose response was sorry. £24 for a piece of lamb is unacceptable as I didn't eat the vegetables or potatoes.

The 1815 Bar was nice tight and clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the meal was at the other end of the scale. My wife’s meal was just swimming in grease and my fish and chips (£19), was a frozen piece fish in batter. When you cut it all fat came out of it. They were both terrible. We both left about 3/4 of our meal. We did mention or complaint to the staff, but nothing happened. I notice that there are no recent reviews, maybe it has all changed since last year. I would say it does now not deserve the 4star review trip advisor shows and it should be recategorised as a 1 or at the most 2 stars.

This was our second Christmas Lunch here, and both were very enjoyable. The food and service was good. We were totally satisfied with everything. Nothing much more to be said!

Went on Saturday night. It was absolutely appalling. Zero service, barely any staff and super inexperienced, starters awful, long wait for mains, so long we had to walk out. Never again. I would love a refund for what we did order. We had to go home and make our own dinner. Hugely disappointing.

After somewhere for Sunday lunch with our multigenerational family, The Llewelyn was suggested. We weren’t sure what to expect, especially as we arrived at the very start of service and the restaurant was very quiet. Clearly used by guests of the hotel for breakfast and buffets also - which is fine - it initially felt a little uncomfortable as quite empty but as other guests joined us, the atmosphere lightened. The menu is limited for lunch - we think they may have previously had a carvery buffet? - with just roast main courses and a few pudding choices, plus restricted kids menu, but portions were very generous. As some of our party were vegetarians, we weren’t sure what the ‘vegetable and seed roast’ would be, but it was delicious. Alongside the main roast - which came with roast potatoes, red cabbage, carrots and parsnips plus a huge Yorkshire pudding - was a separate dish of lovely cauliflower cheese plus extra gravy. Another member of the party wasn’t a vegetarian, and we were quite surprised when another dish of cauliflower cheese came along with another jug of extra (vegetarian) gravy! We couldn’t manage all the extra veg between the three of us, even though it was delicious. We were too full for desert, but left happy and full of praise for The Llewelyn, definitely a Criccieth Sunday lunch special!

Simply perfect afternoon tea superb quality home made cakes and sandwiches in a beautiful traditional tearoom lovely staff. Beyond our expectations and I what to return to try more

I ordered fried eggs on toast with baked beans. The toast was barely cooked, still bread in the middle. The two eggs had been griddle cooked I think. They were crispy underneath, and fringed with quite hard crispy edges. The whites were still undercooked in parts. Not good. I too picked up on the weird ambience, which I can't explain but noticed clearly.

If anyone is thinking about visiting Central Hotel Shotton wetherspoons I personally would not advise it .certain management are foul mouthed and bad mouth their customers to each other while you are there.plus they lie and back each other up when caught out and if you put in a complaint then they ban you. The place also needs a good clean from tables to toilets. There are certain statistics are great shame the bad ones will try and bring them down. Feel free to vape in there as people do even while sitting with a duty manager. Time they started obeying by the rules and the law. Including hygiene and wearing nets on hair and beards. It's not a family oriented pub as they allow certain people shouting and swearing almost every day. This is all true. They also fail in their duty of care as they let people get so drunk it's all about money. Customers are left to help the people who are so drunk and fall over.

A most welcoming local pub with an excellent chef who happily adapted starters into a main for me - veggie! Although menu catered for everyone. Mine hosts were so cheerful & hardworking - many could take a leaf out of their books! The place was absolutely buzzing with people of all ages - locals & holidaymakers having the time of their lives singing along to the live musician of the evening who sang everything from Beatles/John Denver to modern day...talented chap! We will definitely be back - next time we may stay if not during the summer months, perhaps for an Autumn/Spring walking holiday!

Was ever so slightly dubious about visiting this place after reading some negative reviews (anti English speaking comments mostly), couldn't be further from the truth, spent an afternoon there, and found other guests to be more than welcoming, really admired the owners for resurrecting this pub (and shop and airbnb), especially impressed with Meinwen who was chatty, witty, welcoming and informative, will certainly visit again.

This pub is no longer an Indian Restaurant/ Pub It has been taken over by a very reputable company and is being run brilliantly by Nancy Jones and her under manager Gemma. Mike has been kept on because of his excellent input. The pub has been rejuvenated since the new regime , and now is a truly Community pub. I have been regularly using this pub for 52 years and have not seen it this good since the days of the Moores and Bob and Sue. Good luck to the new management and roll on when the kitchen re-opens even if it’s only for bar snacks.

We went as a group of residents for a day Out and it was great...we had a carvery meal which was excellent followed by games of bingo and play your cards right then there was an entertainer on so we could dance or just sing a long to the music. Bar drinks were very reasonably priced

Lovely cup of tea, apparently really nice dragon coffee (I wasn't drinking it!), nice staff. Very clean and modern. Fire door propped open by extinguisher...errrr.....

Breakfast was simply very poor. Toast which had obviously been kept warm in the oven. The scrambled eggs was just that, nothing but eggs. The sausage had more wrinkles than a stewed prune, again kept hot for hours if not re-heated from yesterday. A nice cup of coffee was the only saviour. That said, it’s not the first time breakfast has been poor but today was the last visit to eat.

Brilliant service and the food was really good. Great atmosphere in the bar area and lively music- with a good selection for all ages.
