Bryn Williams Porth Eirias

Food was good but service and choice of beers was poor For our xmas event i was pleased to hear we'd be visiting Bryn's at Porth Eirias. The restaurant was full but pre-booked hence I guess this wasn't a surprise to the staff. We were on a pre selected menu which had a good choice and the food didn't disappoint. The portions could have been slightly bigger but taste is king and it was good. The issue we found was that the time between courses was long and some in our group had finished their courses before others had been served. Similar was true of getting drinks, due to the waiting it took us 3h to get through our three courses in which we were only asked twice if we were ok for drinks. Once at the start and then once just before our mains. TBH that wasn't a bad thing as their choice of beers were quite poor. It was good to see that they has welsh beers but they were quite plain and to have Wrexham export as the standard beer shows their more into the name than the taste. If Wrexham hasn't been taken over by hollywood you'd never choose that lager on taste. Also, the other options seemed to be ticking boxes like gluten free, etc.. If they want local beers they'd be much better served if they asked truly local breweries like Wild horse and Black cloak to provide them with more flavoursome options. I may go back to sample the food again but I hope they sort out their management / training and drinks selection before that.

Popped in for a cake and hot chocolate. We managed to park in the free car park for the restaurant although expectedly busy. Straight away you are hit by the views out to sea and along the front. The location of Bryn William's restaurant with long glass windows is ideal. Wheelchair accessible entrance then in to an area for coffee's and cakes. Behind you can see the restaurant and the food being prepared fresh. Coffee is decent and strong but the chocolate had the novelty of a chocolate block on a stick which melts in the hot chocolate to thicken and add more flavour. We had a piece of gluten free lemon drizzle cake and Welsh cakes. Full of flavour, fresh, tasty and priced the same as other cafe's in the area. Need to book for a meal but this is a good Start. Staff were friendly and helpful despite being busy
