Not an extensive menu if you 're looking for a light lunch, and as someone with special dietary requirements I did struggle to find something.. Eventually I decided on a 'sandwich ' which although expensive at 16.99 I could cope with. It was advertised as bring served with chips and salad, neither of which I can eat.. So I asked if I could have JUST the sandwich.. After initially saying no, they then said I COULD have it without chips but that the price would still be the same! Sorry, but I think that 's unreasonable. It was expensive to start with, the same price as some of the main meals , but it is what it is. I understand costs, but to charge for something you dont want and can 't eat is ridiculous really. Not as if it entailed and extra work either, I was asking to NOT have something. We left without anything shan 't be going back . Better places not too far away"

"Looking for a dog friendly place to eat or stay? This is the best we’ve ever seen! Parking is at the back. The White Lion, Bala has a Welcome bag of goodies for each canine visitor, plus a variety of treats and water bowls always available. The staff MUST have been chosen for their love of dogs, because every one of them interacted enthusiastically. We did not meet the Head Chef, but experienced her work at the Carvery on Sunday. I had the vegetarian option instead of a meat, which was a lovely, crusty pie with chickpeas and vegetables in a yummy gravy. For me, though, the absolute topper was the Cauliflower Cheese best I’ve ever had. Jordan was the chef for our breakfast: ‘small’ Full English was almost more than I could eat, but everything just right. Danny, front of house AND chef, was chatty, informative and helpful. Lenka, in the dining room, truly went above and beyond looking after us. Her wonderful care made our family get together a very special occasion. The rooms are modern, up to a point: very comfortable and well appointed, but individually, some are a bit quirky in a good way. It is apparent when you walk in the door that this hotel has been there a long time, and there are plenty of nooks and crannies for a quiet chat. We were very comfortable. Looking for Welsh souvenirs? Awen Meirion, just down the street (ask for directions) has lots of dragons and cards and seriously cool stuff."

"Best takeaway in Bangor without a doubt. Tried some of the others on Holyhead road, you can probably guess which, and they 're not bad, but not great. Ty Pizza however, absolutely blows the lot out the water. Chips cheese chips were crispy yet soft, fries style, plenty of flavour and a good colour, the cheese was a mix of standard Cheddar and orange cheese, which I 'm assuming is Red Leicester, tasted brilliant, the combination of the two is a nice touch. I would 've preferred if the cheese had melted more, the chips could 've been a little hotter to help with this, but that 's nit picking really. Cheesy Garlic bread actually the first thing I opened, and knew it was going to be special as soon as I saw it, thick, golden brown crust, crispy brown top to the cheese with green garnish. Presentation was exceptional and it tasted just as such. Strong garlic flavour without being overpowering, cheese was soft and stringy, but as I say, with a crisp top for brilliant texture. Chicken nuggets not your five different 'standard ' shapes like you see at McDonalds, they 're more like chicken balls. Pieces of proper chicken breast, soft and juicy, covered in a brown, almost orange, batter, a lot nicer than the typical yellow you 'll often get. Succulent and flavoursome. Portions absolutely massive, a large chips cheese is actually in the large, long polystyrene containers rather than the one up size from the square ones. Price Comes in a little more expensive than others on Holyhead Road, however we 're talking 50p on most items, and the quality behind it makes it far better value for money than the others. It 's nice to see a takeaway take real pride and care with their offerings, I hope it stays this way. Will definitely be coming back to try a Pizza. Absolutely top drawer, don 't bother going anywhere else."
