A truly excellent restaurant. The food is amazing, atmosphere is very relaxed yet warm and the seaweed with aioli is an absolute revelation. Friendly staff and a great night out. A brilliant find in a small seaside town. I will 100% book again the next time i am in barmouth.

This is a gogeous setting, being an old building. My wife and I had breakfast here and it was OK.. The bacon was overcooked -and a bit tough - maybe a reheat? Everything else on the plate was great. I only tried breakfast. We never made it to Y Sospan for an evening meal. At night the cafe was full and looked like a great place to have a drink, based on their selection of gins.I did expect better, based on the reviews.

Stopped for lunch, was informed that food could not be served downstairs which is a massive disappointment when you've someone with limited mobility in your party and with today's weather!Shocked to see the BBQ suddenly go up from mixed prices to higher prices part way through sitting down, guess you should turn up early for a bargain?Staff not very friendly or helpful during either visit this weekFood was OK, particularly enjoyed the roast chicken sandwich and the gammon was nicely cookedA lot of potential with a premium location but really letting itself down, I guess with a captive audience they can do this

The location is great, nice big venue lots of choice of somewhere to sit and lots of choice on the menu, service fast and friendly. Food was fine, nothing special averagely priced and inoffensive. Not much choice in dolgellau so would go again

Similar to previous reviews from Monday 23rd October we could not get the Monday Rib Eye deal as advertised. We booked our table because the deal was advertised in the window. This restaurant has a poor standard of management, this means that if people are not happy with their offer they cause an argument and resort to personal insults rather than seek a pragmatic resolution. When I was disappointed with my meal and the experience of my friends I was met by a manager wearing a tracksuit (covered in dog hair), he was a polite chap but did not resolve how disappointed we felt after spending £30 per head including children. When I have seen management responses to other complaints they respect the immaturity that I experienced. I am a long standing member of tripadvisor. providing pragmatic and measured reflection of my experience. I fully expect this review to be followed up by a defensive and inexperienced management response..... good luck to them as I donât think their business will last and I couldnât recommend this to future hungry folk in Dolgellau.

Dropped in for a drink as we were waiting for the chippy to open. Passing through on a very long journey home. Cricket was on and food from the bar was fantastic. Company and friendliness of local patrons was even better. If we hadnât got 200 miles still to drive we would have stayed all evening. Will definitely be back despite the commute.

Visited on a few occasions when weâve been in Dolgellau and each time the food has been amazing. The first time I visited I had the chicken soup with homemade cheese scone. The soup was thick,comforting and delicious Cheese scone was fluffy and went well with itThis time I had the vegetable quiche. I asked if it was hot and it was. I like my quiches hot! It was a big slab of thick chunky roast veggies in a creamy pastry tart and a large salad and coleslaw Amazing. So full but managed to share a homemade hummingbird cake for aftersDog friendly which is great. Luna our Labrador was very accommodating by hoovering up the crumbs Didnât realise that there was a huge floor upstairs as well with comfy settees so you donât need to squeeze yourself downstairs Maybe that could be better explained on the signage going upstairs Friendly, helpful staff Well done

What a delightful meal and whole experience we had eating here. The two staff on duty were superb at their job, the perfect hosts and advisors. They had the natural, relaxed and friendly skills which showed their considerable experience and enjoyment of their jobs. The food was excellent too. My Summer Pea Soup was light and delicious and gave me inspiration for my own cooking. My wife's Smoked Salmon with yoghurt and blinis was very much enjoyed. We both had the Rump of Lamb with Potato Rosti, cooked precisely to meet our very different tastes. Beautiful Lamb, perfectly flavoured. Puddings were fine but the whole meal was a very enjoyable event.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch sitting on the terrace looking out over the estuary to Cader Idris and the surrounding hills. Good use of local food cooked to the highest standard and beautifully presented. Lovely friendly front of house staff. We will certainly return. Thank you.
