The best restaurants serving British food in Betws-y-Coed Conwy North Wales

Wife and I went for tea at Olif after recommendations. We had a nice mix of dishes and it didn't disappoint at all. There is a great selection of local dishes and Spanish style Tapas too. It was a great atmosphere in there and the staff were very good.

Having eaten here for years I was shocked at the unpleasant experience which began with the scam of the parking. Suffice to say we will never be going back and wouldn't recommend anyone else supports them. A real pity as this was a wonderful place to eat and drink after a day in the mountains. The main problem is the attitude of the company and the manager. You now have to pay to park either by phone (you need an account) or by app (which charges more than the cost stated on the board). The board says this is refunded if you spend £10 in the pub, this is a bald faced lie. Upon entering we realised that if you put your registration in you can park for free, a bit late if you already paid by the app. Upon taking it up with the bar maid we were told they don't refund the parking if you spend £10 since it's a separate company that manages the parking. I asked for a manager who promptly arrived and was so unhelpful and rude that it was staggering. She told us we'd misunderstood, accused us of being abusive to the staff by complaining and, the final straw, told us that they "aren't social services". She offered no solution, no apology and when we pointed out that their business is responsible for the companies they contract she said "we're just staff". Clearly she doesn't understand that as manager she is the representative of the company she works for, it's definitely a difficult position to be in but if she can't maintain professionalism she should look for a less responsible job or work for a company that doesn't put their staff in the impossible situation of defending actions tantamount to fraud.

Lovely cosy pub, very welcome after a long walk in the hills.

Loved this place.... until I saw the foie gras pics here. What the hell like, it's 2024, read the room. No one wants a side order of unnecessarily barbaric, tortured bird...well i guess sadly some of you do...but you're certainly in the minority leaving the rest of us aghast. Do better. We're better than that.

lovely hotel, great staff, food great and dog freindly.

Best cup of coffee we’ve had anywhere for quite a long time! Two strong flat whites made with good quality coffee, Hard to find.

We often call in to the bar post-walk for refreshments. However, no tea available and the price of one black coffee, blackcurrant cordial and two packets of crisps was £10.50...this seemed at bit pricey to me so we, unfortunately, after visiting for years, won't be back.

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.

Popped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday with our dog. Bit of a strange layout in the bar with formal seating mixed with a large children's play area. There was only one other couple in so also very quiet. We ordered two chicken caesar salads described as coming with herby croutons and boiled egg, what we got was 2 garlic chicken salads with cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, onion etc in a honey mustard dressing. They were very nice but bore absolutely no resemblance to caesar salads and no explanation as to why the difference. At £7.95 each we were happy with what we got but we wouldn't return because of the lack of choice on the menu and the random decor.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food was delicious, locally sourced ingredients . We loved the duck starter dish, recommended by Michelle. It was so tasty! The Welsh lamb we had for our mains was also an excellent choice. Great food and excellent service!
