We visited to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We ate of the a la carte menu and ate steaks as well as great starters and deserts.

I ate at Poachers with my wife and two friends on Saturday 15th August 2009. The restaurant was full upon our arrival at 7.30pm.

O.K.,but not special,very Welsh,even though owner seemed to be German,her German meat pancake speciality.was terribly oversalted.If you like being surrounded by Welsh speakers you will enjoy it,avoid the Gaelic coffee!O.K. for tourists,I would rather pay a little more and go to Portmeirion a few miles away for a more rewarding experience. more
