Disgusting food had to send two dishes back. Shocking service and got over charged for drinks we never ordered! The Manager was not one bit helpful when we told him we were dissatisfied with the food and refused to give us a refund so I suggested if we could have drinks instead as we did not want to eat any of that food, he would not allow that either. We spent 100 pounds on a few processed disgusting sandwiches. Staff were absolutely clueless and the food was really bad quality would not recommend and absolutely will not be returning.

We booked this due to its central location in Menai Bridge as we were spending the weekend there.Room was clean and functional.Just be aware that you are staying in a very very lively pub. The music and noise continues until 12 am on a Friday and Saturday.

I had a very lovely stay here. Looked for a place to spend the night on a rainy day mid September and found it here. Unfortunately the pub itself was not open for business, so they could not provide a hot meal, but the friendly hostess knew a great place for diner instead.
