I ordered the fish and chips, and others got the burgers or lasagna. From already looking at the menu, the food available was very basic, including the roast chicken or beef, which they didn't have that evening. I was surprised that a seaside restaurant didn't sell more seafood, like the others did. (I did try some marmalade gin though, which was delicious) My fish and chips were very average. The chips were huge, almost half potatoes, and the fish was very greasy but dry. My sister had the lasagna, and there was a pool of oil at the bottom! There was a lack of ketchup and the tar tar sauce was way too thick for my taste. We then ordered two desserts, the brownie and the sticky toffee pudding. The brownie was very nice. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious, but it was obvious it was shop bought. Getting the bill was harder than it should have been. Unfortunately my Dad forgot his wallet, so my aunt tried to put the cheque on her room. The staff told us that wasn't allowed, which was frustrating. We then gave a waiter the card and a tip, and he walked off. 15 minutes later he was doing something else, having just walked off with our card AND a tip. Eventually we got him over and paid, but he kept telling us he only dealt with the drinks. The experience was okay, the decor in the bar/restaurant is nice and the toilets are clean.

There are three areas a lounge, the bar area and a smoke room, in which, of course, no smoking is allowed. The lounge and the smoke room both have wonderful open fires essential as I am writing this. The welcome from the knowledgeable staff is also warm and the locals are very friendly to we incomers. There are no TV's, no juke-box and no food (other than bags of Tyrrell's crisps) so that conversation dominates. Upper Gate Street is also the road which leads directly to the Youth Hostel, making this the first pub hostellers encounter heading into town a definite plus for us!

Once upon a time the Albion was the favoured haunt of some of Conwy's most hardened drinkers,…read morealbeit one of some architectural merit (it is in fact a Grade II listed building). In recent years it hit hard times and was eventually closed down. However there has been a recent development that will be of interest to proper beer drinkers. The pub has been purchased by a mysterious London based banker with roots in North Wales. He's re-opened it partnership with four local breweries The Conwy Brewery, the Great Orme Brewery, Bragdy Nant Brewery as well as the Purple Moose Brewery from Porthmadog. The pub is now a dedicated real-ale boozer with a particular emphasis on locally produced ales. There won't be any food (apart from crisps) as the premises doesn't have a kitchen so it will still be a drinker's pub but hopefully one with a more discerning clientele than of days gone by.

I've recently visited the Castle View for the first time since it changed from being Maggie…read moreMurphy's (many years ago). Before going I checked out the menu on their website and was a bit surprised by the prices, which are quite expensive for what at the end of the day is a pub in North Wales. I'd more or less decided in advance to go for the Welsh steak & ale pie which at £12.95 was just about a fiver more expensive than the steak & ale pie on offer at my more familiar haunt, the Afon Conwy which is just a few miles away. I was hoping for a very special pie! First things first the pub has a large car park so parking was no problem. The interior is very nicely done albeit in a fairly predictable gastropub decor. The dining area lives up to the venue's name with several tables along the side of the building offering views of Conwy Castle just over the water. The staff were friendly and efficient although there weren't many other customers to keep them occupied so they weren't anywhere close to being kept busy. Foodwise I went with the steak and ale pie which was fortunately very good and very well presented. My wife had a Caesar salad which was also excellent. The kids opted for chicken goujons and fish and chips from the kids menu, which at £7.25 each were two of the priciest kids meals we've encountered in this part of the world. Again though they were excellent, the goujon meal came with the two biggest goujons I've ever seen and the fish was a generous portion. The best compliment I give though is that both plates were cleared, something that doesn't always happen with my kids. As always there had to be someone who ordered something I ended up wishing I'd ordered and in this case it was father-in-law whose beer battered cod turned out to be a huge piece of fish which looked to be have been perfectly cooked. As this is one of the cheapest meals on the main menu I think if I ever go back that might be the one to try. All in all the food, and accompanying drinks, were all excellent and every plate was cleared. It's just a shame it's so expensive in comparison to other places in the area. It was noticeable that the place was very quiet when we visited, in fact it was almost deserted apart from the staff. It's a real shame given the quality on offer and I was left wondering if maybe they'd get more business if they knocked a quid or two off the prices? Certainly I'd more inclined to revisit if this were the case.

Having two vegans from my party & myself being vegetarian, the chef & bartender were helpful in providing us their options.

There are a few pubs surrounding the market place that gives the city this reputation, but one pub that's the exception is the Albert Inn on Segontium Terrace. I live on the same street and have been into this pub more than any other in the city, and walked past it most nights as well, and my opinion of the pub is that it's an old-fashioned quiet but friendly little pub that's full of character. The pub is old-fashioned in style but nicely decorated - with wooden floors and beams and wooden tables and chairs and bar. There's a pool table that takes up one half of the front of the pub, and a cosy area in front of a real fire in the other half. The bar itself is towards the back, along with some more seating. There's a variety of drinks available and prices are reasonable. There's a smoking area outside the back door which is excellent as it means there isn't anybody stood outside the front door smoking - I think even the nicest of pubs are affected by this image. Despite being English, I've never felt threatened in here and the regulars are all really friendly and chatty towards me.

We strolled on over and were seated right away. I believe we only saw a small portion of the dining area and not the whole restaurant. We were seated in a very cozy area that looked like it had once been a living room. There was a big stone fireplace with a wood stove in it, and a couple small tables with seating around them. There was also a bar in the area where we ate, which was handy since we both enjoyed drinks with our meal. For our entrees, I went with the cottage pie, and my wife selected the Creamy Chicken, Mushroom, and Tarragon pie. Both were absolutely fantastic. Every single bite was full of flavor and delicious. The staff there were friendly and engaged us in friendly conversation. The restroom was clean and well maintained. I'm thankful for the recommendation we received to eat here, and I would absolutely pass on the recommendation to anyone else who's in the area. After exploring the beautiful Castle Conwy, you should definitely check out the Erskine Arms for a hearty meal.

The food they serve is typical Pub Grub but prepared in a Gourmet style by properly trained Chefs. Much of the produce they use is local, try the Conwy Fish soup, locally caught mussels or the Angelsey Scallops. The main courses are Hearty, think slowly cooked Lamb Shanks, roast ribs of black beef or Homemade Steak and Ale Pie. The interior is warming and welcoming, with traditional low ceilings and a small bar which is always packed with local villagers. The Dining area is a little more elaborate but still in-keeping with time and tradition. During the Summer months you can opt for al-Fresco dining on the terrace. They also have a small private function room which is great for intimate parties or celebrations. Possibly the best, off the beaten track Pub in the area. Whilst its not the easiest place to get to its well worth the extra mile to taste the gorgeous food they serve.
