Service was great. Nice welcome. Clean. Food cooked nice. The only thing I didn't like was the bench seating. I'm a large chap. So it's a bit tight between the table and chairs. Normal people don't need to worry. Just us big belly chaps. Maybe it's to stop us from eating to much. Ha ha. So . Price was good. Service was excellent. Food was good.

Fabulous. I had a very generous serving of lamb’s liver with chips (fresh and crispy), and apple pie and custard. The prices were very reasonable too. The staff were quick, polite and friendly, all you could want, really. And the tables were really clean, no sticky stuff or wet disinfectant. The only negative is that the salt came out very fast, but that might have been the wrong cellar. They are licensed, if you fancy a tipple with your grub. Great place, and I will absolutely come again.

Wow the food! Great Deli and fabulous restaurant. Should you be in Porthmadog and you don’t pop in for a bite to eat you have missed out on some amazing food with fantastic service. Warm welcome every time Lemon Meringue pie is to die for. The Port breakfast is delicious The black pudding is tasty soft and the best I’ve had in some months. Their home made onion rings also not to be missed So return in 2025 and the breakfast is still amazing with the very best black pudding I’ve ever tasted. Plus their lemon meringue pie is simply to die for

Step into a world where flavor reigns supreme and every bite feels like a celebration! This enchanting eatery serves up fabulous food that dances on the palate and an atmosphere that wraps around you like a warm, joyful breeze. The desserts? Works of art—almost too beautiful to eat, yet somehow tasting even better than they look (and that’s saying something!). The magic doesn’t end with the food; the prices are delightfully down-to-earth, making indulgence entirely guilt-free. If you find yourself in Porthmadog, do not miss this place—it’s not just a recommendation, it’s a quest worth undertaking for lunch or dinner. A true must-visit for any food lover or seeker of delicious adventure!

Popped in for a late lunch and was seated quickly. Place was clean and busy, with plenty of staff visible. Lunch for 4 was quick and tasty. I even stopped by the deli counter for some sausage rolls for our journey home (they were delicious) and the cakes looked very tempting.

Dogs welcome in a part of the restaurant. We visit porthmadog a fair bit. We looked for other places for lunch but ended up coming back here. That was a good decision. Its becoming a family tradition for a good reason. Friendly swift service, good, fresh and tasty food, clean and friendly environment. 5 stars. 11.11.25
