Dining At The Brigands Inn - Gwynedd

Popped in here for a bite to eat, with my infirm, 85 year old mum. It was a cold, wet miserable day and we were starving. We were greeted by a young woman at the bar by, yes you can order lunch as long as it 's in the next five minutes . Miserable woman, no smile, no welcome. This appeared to be the theme as the lady who brought the food, was just as unfriendly and miserable too. To be fair the food was lovely. Would I go again. Not a chance. Would I recommend it. Not a chance. We 'll go somewhere else in future when visiting my family.

Have been here many times over the years. Interested to see how it was after a few negative reviews. Good news is it’s still the same informal, friendly, efficient place it ever was. Food still great quality my mate rated the burger “the best he’d ever had”. Enjoyed chilling in the residents’ lounge after dinner. This place is legendary.

Have driven by many times but never stopped in until yesterday. Quickly learned that I have been missing out on visiting a fantastic restaurant. Popped in for linch with my wife and son and each of us ordered a different sandwich. We all left the restaurant believing we had just ate the best sandwich we have ever had. Service was excellent, bar staff super friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Outstanding restaurant that we will be visiting often and have already made reservations for an upcoming Sunday roast.

We visited The Brigands with friends and family. There was 9 in our party and 2 dogs and we were seated in a private dining area in the Residents Lounge. We all had starters, main courses and deserts. The food was excellent from start to finish with the service being just at the right pace. What made our visit extra special was the service that we received from Gwynfor who was an absolute legend. He was very welcoming, great fun and a consummate professional. Would recommend the The Brigands if you are in the area.

Arrived at The Brigands for a meal at 6:00 pm Sunday evening. There were a handful of tables occupied with people eating. We waited twenty minutes while the girl behind the bar served everyone else and were then told that if we hadn’t booked we wouldn’t be served, very unapologetic and very abrupt. It doesn’t say that on the website and the older lady who was delivering meals from the kitchen walked past me standing by the ‘wait here for a table sign’ at least four times in the twenty minutes and never said ‘Have you booked?’ Very poor service so unless you are desperate don’t bother. Go to the Cross Foxes instead!
