The best restaurants serving British food in Pwllheli North Gwynedd North Wales

We visit Pwllhelli every month and lunch at the Whitehall each time. The food, staff and pub are 1st class. Nothing is any trouble for the staff who are always friendly which says a lot about the place. Don’t know who manages the place but they are doing a good job or at least the staff are. Look forward to lunch when we visit Christmas week.

Roast like your nan makes it! Delicious and lots of it at a good price. Nice atmosphere and great service. Make sure you arrive hungry, preferably after a session in the surf, or a long walk along the windswept coast. Good pint of welsh ale too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a fantastic meal on Friday. Curry night + food for kids....also chicken for the two dogs. Went one afternoon to get a beer but was shut....then the owner Heidi i think that is her name,said come on in and let us have a couple of beers. Love the menu,just the right balance. Thank you gor looking after us,the kids and the pooches. Would go back again. Worth the six hour drive. Heidi dont work yourself to the wall. Its a gold mine. A perfect balance. Find someone you trust and sit back a little. I have been in the same place. X Thank you.

We were struggling to find a bar to have a drink and take the dog in Pwllheli, they do not appear to be so dog friendly there as they are in Porthmadog and Abersoch! We had driven past Whitehall and saw the board outside saying dogs were welcome and parked up. Hubby went inside and I then realised the board was for the pub next door so called him and we went there instead. Orla (the owner) greeted us warmly and advised it’s table service only so we sat in the beer garden and ordered some drinks. We shared with Orla the struggle to find somewhere open on a Monday and then also allowing dogs. Orla came over and told us they weren’t usually open until later in the week but as the weather was nice, thought they’d open up and see if people were about. Orla chatted with us about the area, where to go and where to avoid, she was a real fountain of knowledge and even wrote it all down for us. We’re not sure on the food experience as we didn’t eat, but please ignore the negativity in the previous review as it seems mainly based on character of the owners and to be honest, the owners were so hospitable and warm with us, I don’t get how their experience was so vastly different to ours! Orla is from Cork and has lived in Wales for many many years, go see her if you want some true advice on the area, she’ll definitely help you! Thank Orla!

Tried Pili Papas for the first time today for lunch and experienced high quality, high value, delicious food and drink. I would highly recommend. I had the Welsh rarebit with crispy bacon, which is served with a lovely side salad, it was absolutely delicious. My husband has homemade quiche with chips, which also came with a huge side salad. The portions are generous, the value is amazing.

Good selection of real ales and friendly staff

A really nice and old pub, apparently the oldest in Pwllheli. We had a selection of local drinks and all were fantastic. Inside the pub is quite open plan and has 2 large TV's which show sports. Majority Welsh speaking patrons and Welsh music can be found here. Fantastic atmosphere, if you're in the area, I'd recommend a visit!
