Great friendly pub with a great atmosphere, every table taken on a Monday night, friendly and helpful and attentive staff and every dish that was served to the three of our family looked superb and tasted great. Scallops cooked properly, Halimi ditto. Duck main course wouldn't have looked out of place in a white tablecloth restaurant. And the prices seemed so reasonable. Main courses between £15 and £27 for a steak. You can choose a number of the mains as smaller portions. The highlight of my own meal was the almond and lemon tart, warm with crushed meringue, lemon cured and lemon ice cream. It was simply wow. I'd drive a long way for that dessert. A great surprise and caused us a real challenge as we are staying locally for 2 nights and have another pub booked for tomorrow night...the challenge whether to cancel it and go here for a second night or try somewhere else. Refreshing to see food prepared so well and such good value for money. I couldn't fault it. Highly recommended. Hope the review is helpful to folks. Stuart

The dining room is spacious and the staff were very happy for our 2 dogs to lay near our table. Staff were attentive and the food was very good. The place had a hotel dining feel to it, which was a nice atmosphere.

The portions were generous and the food was delicious. I saw that the reviews were mixed online, but personally, I thought it was one of the best roast dinners I have ever had. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was laid-back. If I ever find myself in Bala again, I would definitely come back to this restaurant.

Plas Yn Dre initially seemed promising as they were knowledgeable about coeliac disease and assured me that I could have any burger or sandwich on the menu. However, when I tried to order my burger, I was told I could only have the plain burger. Additionally, my brother overheard someone (possibly the manager) saying that having gluten-free options was inconvenient. I ended up ordering the BBQ chicken sandwich, but later experienced symptoms of gluten ingestion, indicating that there may have been undeclared gluten in my meal. Overall, I would not recommend dining at this restaurant.

They offer gluten free buns for their burgers and have menu items that are labeled gluten free or can be prepared that way upon request. While the chips are not fried in a separate fryer, they happily substituted them with boiled potatoes.
