On a recent visit to North Wales I was taken to
this very popular venue at the recommendation of my hosts. It is a
Pub/Restaurant with much more emphasis on restaurant. Unless you book I
would think it was difficult to get a table, although the place is not small.
If you are after a weekend break there is a
delightful, recently refurbished, cottage opposite the pub that is available
for rental. The cottage is owned by the Proprietors of the Queen's Head
- see advert.
Back to the food. We were a party of 6 and
apart from me, all had enjoyed food here on several occasions. None of us had
starters as the main courses are generous. I and one
other chose halibut from the Specials Board, which had been poached in rhubarb
and orange sauce @ £11.95, yummy. A slow roasted duck also @£11.95 was
very much enjoyed as it was nice and succulent . Two more had excellent
sea bass served on a bed of spinach @£9.50 each. A nice
selection of vegetables was included for us all. Our youngest diner had
a small portion of lasagne and French fries @£4.95 also very yummy. 2
excellent wines were enjoyed, a Tarrango red at £12.50 and a house white
Sauvignon Blanc @£11.25.
Somehow we managed 3 puddings between us ! A
good selection of cheese and biscuits @£4.25. A fruit Pavlova @£3.95
and a fresh fruit cube of mixed berries and custard @£4.25. Puddings
were served with either cream or fresh fruit coulis if required. With a
couple of cokes and coffees our bill came to just under £100 - about £16.50
per head.

higher the "Yummy" factor, the better the food & service.
The higher the number of £ signs the more expensive. ( Roughly
one £ sign = £5 per head ) |
