After a chilly walk on a cold winter day, we are always on the lookout for a welcoming pub to stop and thaw for a while. Roaring fires, friendly faces, good food and hot drinks really hit the spot!
The Ship Inn, Red Wharf Bay
This gorgeous olde worlde pub is a sight to behold, overlooking the beautiful Red Wharf Bay. With a roaring log fire, it is perfect for warming up after a brisk walk on the beach! Boasting awards a plenty, The Ship Inn is featured in the ‘good pub guide’, and is listed in the Michelin ‘Eating out in pubs’ guide, you won’t be disappointed! Call them on 01248 852568
Vaynol Arms, Pentir
A lovely, welcoming pub & restaurant at any time of the year. Dave, Karen and the team always have a smile on their faces! Warm and cosy, although surprisingly large inside with a separate restaurant area which is reviewed in the ‘Good Pub & Food Guide’. Parking at the back of the pub and a covered smoking area outside for those that need it. Thursday night is quiz night – call in if you think you’re smart enough? Call them on 01248 362896.
Y Bryn Cynan, Nefyn
Winter or Summer, this is a great pub. The staff here are welcoming and friendly, the food is good. A roaring fire welcomes you in – you will be toasty and warm in no time at all. Plenty of parking and a play park outside for the children if they can pull themselves away from the warmth! Call them on 01758 720879.
Ty Mawr, Llanbedr
Many years ago, we lived close by Ty Mawr and whenever I visit nowadays, I am transported back to a time when the children were small and they played in the beer garden for hours on end. A place with character, where dogs are as welcome as the children. Wood burning stoves and open fires make The Ty Mawr a ‘must do’! Karen and Steve will always greet you with a smile! Contact them on 01341 241440.
Y Garddon, Y Felinheli
This is quite a hidden gem. Just tucked away off the main road from Caernarfon to Y Felinheli, Y Garddon is super cosy and sits on the banks of the Menai Straits. A warm welcome, delicious food and a warm atmosphere, you cannot go wrong! The Sunday Roast is fabulous! Ring them on 01248 670359.
