The Boatyard Inn - Gwynedd

I enjoyed dining outside in the sun. The food was decent and the staff was very helpful. They made the experience enjoyable.

I initially read some negative reviews before visiting this restaurant. The interior of the bar appeared to be old-fashioned. It was a quiet lunchtime visit. We ordered drinks at the bar and then proceeded to our table. However, we were called back to pay before the food was even served. It seemed like there may have been some previous issues, but it would have been better if they had waited and we might have ordered more. The food was just okay and did the job of filling us up.

My partner and I were very hungry and decided to have dinner here. I ordered the burger and he had the steak. Unfortunately, the burger seemed like it came from a pre-packaged patty and the steak did not look appetizing. The pub had sticky floors and the scent of stale beer around the bar. However, the staff were friendly and the views from the back of the restaurant were nice. We finished our meals quickly and left.

After looking at Facebook reviews we decided to book The Boatyard Inn for a graduation dinner. Menu is much smaller than advertised and when it came to ordering quite a few things weren't available, this wasn't made clear when we sat down and chose our meals. So it was garlic mushrooms (which were lovely) and fish and chips. My niece whose graduation it was ordered the vegan burger which she didn't really enjoy and having the ketchup tipped in her lap on arrivalto the table, accidents do happen and she was compensated with a drink. Then when it came to the bill they had added another tables wine to our bill bumping it up by nearly £50. This again was rectified but only because we checked the receipt after my dad had paid. All in all we were a little disappointed with the whole experience.

Great food and friendly staff. The seafood platter was enormous and would easily serve three. It beat my husband and daughter even with me helping a little! The fish finger sandwich was made with fresh fish goujons, none of your frozen fishfinger nonsense The Boatyard is located just a hop and a skip from the pier and the beer garden has a lovely view over the water.
