Reviews in Porthmadog

We had a great meal at Y Shear. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We had the early bird menu that was good value for the quality of food.

Excellent food, atmosphere, service & value. Good enough to lure us back to North Wales very soon.

We haven’t visited for about 11 yrs, I saw that it was still owned by the same people. So celebrating a friend’s birthday, we booked our table for four. Well the food was even better than we remembered with great service. Glad we made the effort and will visit again if we come back to the area.

Our second time at Y Sgwar, just as lovely as the first. Lovely staff and the food was delicious. We will be going back again . Thank you so much We had earlybird menu. Excellent food and excellent price

If you find yourself in the Snowdon area then I would heartily recommend booking this restaurant. We won’t hesitate to book it again. We couldn’t fault anything about this meal, the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff nor the value for money. The whisky sauce on my chicken was the highlight for me. We booked it as a treat after doing Snowdon and had to come straight from the mountain, as we were a little late coming down. We probably weren’t the best presented customers but you wouldn’t know it. My only regret is not being able to finish the pavlova, with white chocolate ice cream. It was delicious but my eyes were bigger than my belly. Every course was of an extremely high quality and perfectly presented. Definitely a top restaurant.

Second time here, just as good as first. Food and staff excellent. Had earlybird, couldn't fault it. We will be back . Thank you

Food is excellent and great service

Really friendly and good value for money, will be visiting again in August and October this year.

We visited 'Y Sgwar' in April and the food was really nice. We pre-ordered our meals because there were 11 of us (I received the menus via email before hand). I didn't notice this until after we left, but we were over-charged on the meals. On the menus we received before hand, a child starter was £4 and all children meals were £8.50. The early-bird 2-course was £22. When looking at the receipt later on I noticed I was charged £7.50 for the child starter and £10 for a child meal. Also we were charged £23.50 each for the early-bird menus. I know I should have checked the receipt there and then, but the kids were tired and we were in a rush to leave.

Excellent food from a lovely menu and very pleasant and helpful staff. Unfortunately the experience was diminished by having to wait nearly and hour for our first course to arrive. I would like to think that we were just unlucky and we would certainly return.

We had the Sunday Roast and it was honestly the best roast dinner we've had! All perfectly cooked, speedy service and a reasonable price.

Quality of the food and the service was excellent

Everything was excellent! Thanks for a wonderful evening, looking forward to our next visit already.

Our second visit was as wonderful as the first (2 years ago). I have a number of food allergies, staff were knowledgeable about the food and ingredients and were able to offer suggestions of safe foods for me. First time in a long time I have been able to eat a three course meal. Food was delicious and the desserts were a real treat! Thanks again to all of the staff. Will definitely visit again next time we are in the area. 100% would recommend

Meal was absolutely brilliant, Plenty of food and very filling. Service great and very friendly . Would definitely visit again when we are back in the Area

We visited here on the day of our engagement to celebrate. I'd emailed shortly before arriving to inform them of our engagement to see if they could do anything to help us celebrate (unbeknown to my fiancé) - They were so nice! They put us on a quieter table, and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival. The staff were so excited for us and so caring, making a lovely fuss of us for our whole meal, without being over the top. Such a nice atmosphere and truly caring staff. The food was also epic! The pork belly was the best I've ever had and we had the nicest experience you could wish for. It really was the perfect end to a perfect day. We'll be back when visiting the area again and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. What's more, the value for money is exceptional.

Went to Y Sgwar for Sunday lunch on 21st April. A wonderful lunch as always. Great value for money. Great service. Pleasant atmosphere.

7 of us came in for Sunday lunch at 12. Warm welcome & seated promptly. Drinks and starters came out in no time, the mains (Sunday roasts) came out shortly after, all at once, nice and hot. Vegans in the group & special requests (extra yorkies) were accommodated. Everyone LOVED their food. None of us could fault it. As a side note - best vegan roast (with vegetable Wellington) we have found in a long time. Reasonably priced, especially if you go for 2 or 3 courses (1 course was enough for us!)
