Russell Tea Room - Gwynedd

On Thursday, August 31st, 2023, my husband and I returned to The Welsh Highland Railway Tea Room in Porthmadog for Malcolm Green's funeral wake and to celebrate his life. It was a touching tribute as Malcolm and his wife Non were the former owners of the tearoom, both now deceased. The buffet was lovely, and we sat with friends and family, reminiscing and sharing memories of our beloved Malcolm.

I recently dined at Russell's Cafe for lunch on Saturday and left feeling satisfied and content. My daughter wanted a dish that wasn't on the menu - bacon, beans and toast - and the chef happily prepared it for her. I enjoyed the homemade leek and potato soup and a delicious BLT sandwich, while my wife opted for the same soup and a bacon, brie and cranberry roll. We all enjoyed our meals and the warm welcome we received at this cafe. I highly recommend it for delicious food and friendly service.

Lovely breakfast .... egg, bacon, sausage, beans, toast and hot drink. Good value £8.00 for the full Welsh breakfast. Friendly service, would definitely go back. Nice venue.

A splendid café with café hot and cold food and drink and well priced. Good fry ups and usually some sticky cake to have

You may not think about visiting a preserved railway when you are contemplating lunch as you travel along, but do so hear you will not be disappointed. The food is always fresh made to order. The staff are very friendly polite, the café is clean tidy is very well presented. You can also from time to time also hear Welsh language spoken as well as English.
