Visited here on Easter Sunday with family. Table was a bit cramped for the number of people, and the service was a little slow (had to ask three times for a second drink, for example), but the food was delicious.

The choice of roast was beef/lamb/pork, and between us we tried all three. All were well cooked and generously served, although they could have less stingy with the accompanying vegetable platters.

It was very reasonably priced and had a decent menu too.

Understand it only opened recently so presume the service issues will improve. Would definitely visit again, it really was tasty.

Easter Sunday - so table space was at a premium - hence a 2pm booking. But that just made all our appetites that much keener.
The table was ready when we arrived at 1:50 and we were warmly shown to our table. The restaurant was busy with people finishing off their meals.
Service was friendly and bilingual, the wifi was strong and the food was delicious.
Portion size was excellent - no-one wanted a sweet, not because the menu didn't entice us, but we were full after our starters and mains.
But the biggest surprise was the bill - £13.95 for two excellent courses (would have been £16.95 for three - work that out people - that pudding would have only cost £3!).
Complaints - not really only comment is that there were only two vegetarian starters (from a list of about six) and only one vegetarian on the mains menu - and the only fish dish had sold out - but remember this was a 2pm booking right at the end of service.
I'm told the owner/managers also run the Goat Pub at Glandwyfach (7miles outside of Porthmadog ) so if you're heading north on the A487 that would also be worth a stop.
Diolch yn fawr.

Our friends were thrilled that an old favourite haunt had reopened and it didn't disappoint. Lovely meal with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. We were attentively served by young staff. A good selection on the menu and some specials too. Well worth a visit

Undoubtedly the best restaurant in the area. First time there last night and it did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked scallops and great belly pork, great personal service and it didn't break the bank . The new owners are doing a great job !!!
