The Bar And Restaurant - Pwllheli

We wanted to eat in the Whitehall next door but it was packed so we ended up being coerced into trying this place. The lady was standing outside practically begging us to come in (not sure why we did, I think we felt sorry for her as she was talking about how so many local restaurants had closed since the pandemic). I should’ve listened to my gut but didn’t. The whole experience was shoddy. There were six of us in total four adults and two kids and it was our last night in Pwllheli so I wanted to treat my family to a nice meal. We ordered four lasagnes two with chips and two with jacket potatoes and a child’s fish fingers with a jacket potato. The wooden chair I was sitting on was literally falling apart and I thought it was going to break so I had to swap it for another. They didn’t have any draft beers and forgot my dad’s wine, ten mins later still no wine so I had to remind her. No butter with the three jacket potatoes which were very dry and unpleasant. I requested butter but none came. My mum ate hers but my daughter and I barely touched ours. The service was sloppy, the young girl looked as miserable as hell and dropped my mum’s garlic bread, again we had to remind them to bring her a new one. My husband’s bottled beer was lukewarm, the lasagne was ok but not worth the £12.95 they charged for it which was a complete rip off. If it was half the price I’d understand but at £12.95 a meal it was well overpriced for the quality of the food and sloppy service. What surprised me the most was when I received the bill, they added a £4.50 “supplement” on for the two jacket potatoes that my mum and I had with our lasagnes instead of chips, which was very deceitful! Nowhere in the menu did it state you had to pay extra if you wanted to swap your chips with jacket potato, it said that there was a choice of chips or jacket, no mention of it being £2.25 extra each. I just felt very uncomfortable, like we were being fleeced. I paid the £63.25 for us all but as we walked off we immediately regretted the experience and wished we’d gone to Wetherspoons as it put a dampener on the last day of our holiday. Please AVOID this place if you don’t want to be ripped off!

We stopped by as a large group (8 adults and 2 kids) in the off chance that they had a spare table and we were very glad they did. Drinks and meals were reasonably priced and the food was delicious. The owners were great company and made us feel very welcome, despite them having been let down by 2 staff on the day the service was great. We would happily go in again.

My partner and I stopped by for a meal and ended up having a great time! We enjoyed the delicious corned beef hash and had a few more dishes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Fantastic experience!

We were a rowdy group of 11 women on a hen do weekend who had walked out of a different restaurant because it was very uncomfortable. However in doing so, we stumbled across this place where we spent the afternoon in the sun, with excellent drinks service, and even complimentary chips to line our stomachs : Orla was amazing and the few hours we spent here truly made our day so thank you!!

We were looking for a dog-friendly place to eat in the evening and spotted this on TripAdvisor. Not far from the centre of Pwllheli, it is tucked in a courtyard next to another restaurant. Staff were super-friendly, refreshing Bavarian beer on tap at the time of our visit, and the food was home-made and tasty. They were very dog friendly and offered a bowl of water straight away. Several other dogs (with their chauffeurs) while we were there.
