About Bryn Arms
Bryn Arms is an independent pub in Blaenau Ffestiniog, on Coed-Y-Llwyn in a Snowdonia village near Snowdon. The business claims the largest beer garden in the area, and a large outdoor play area sits alongside it. The large car park takes motorhomes, and campervans can park there overnight, with a campsite close by. The kitchen runs a carvery with turkey among the meats and vegetables alongside, and gluten free meal options are available. Inside, seating extends to a conservatory area. Reservations are required, and dogs are welcome. Orders are placed and paid for at the bar first.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the food, with the carvery drawing the clearest praise: one diner had turkey that was so tender it broke into little pieces, with vegetables that were not overcooked. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and one reviewer says the gluten free meal a waitress helped find was delicious. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the drinks selection at the bar gets a mention too. Walkers coming down from Snowdon describe calling in for a meal and a drink, and several note the large car park, the outdoor play area, and that dogs are welcome. Campervans are said to be welcome to park overnight. The main complaint comes from one visitor who dined twice over the Easter bank holiday and found the wait for the main course long, which they assumed was due to the holiday. That reviewer says booking beforehand is recommended because the pub gets very busy, while another reviewer says food came out faster than expected. One notes you order and pay at the bar first.

“Found this place by accident, tucked away in a little village. Had a large car park. Suitable for motorhomes. I think the place has been very well decorated and layed out. Food come out faster than expected. Good section of drinks at the bar. Would return in the future.”

“Really big space. Seating is inside, outside and also conservatory area. Wide selection of foods. Lots of drink options too. Parking is available. Was there at a quieter time but can get pretty busy. Really nice decor, interior and exterior. Food portions were good and everything tasted great. Service was also good. You order and pay at the bar first.”
