Plas Yn Dre

We had a really lovely meal at Plas Yn Dre. The fish and chips were perfectly done – crisp batter and fresh fish – and the leg of lamb dish was full of flavour. The standout, though, was the side dish with cauliflower mixed with cream – absolutely delicious and something a bit different. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly throughout. It’s not the cheapest place, but the quality of the food makes it well worth it.

Definitely one of the better places to take the family to eat in Bala. Really attentive staff... the building extends out to the back... looks great and good decor. No reservation for dinner. We just turned up and they accommodated the family. Food was fantastic I had the Poke bowl and duck fritters that were extremely tasty. Small kids menus. Take the family here!

We had a fantastic experience at this wonderful restaurant. The staff were absolutely amazing —so friendly and attentive, which made us feel very welcome. I ordered the Sunday roast with chicken, and it was delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. My husband had the Welsh beef burger, and he loved it just as much. To top it all off, I had the lemon posset for dessert, and it was divine—light, zesty, and the perfect finish to the meal. I highly recommend this place. It’s truly a hidden gem in Wales and definitely worth a visit!

Had a really great Sunday roast, really good value with large portions. Food was delicious and staff were very friendly. The seating area is also very nice and nicely decorated. Would recommend!

We ate here 4 times during a recent camping holiday to Bala. The staff are all friendly and chatty. The new manager is superb and leads by example and shows the way. The food was excellent on all four visits, minimum we had was a table of 3 and dog and maximum was 6 and dog. Great location, has parking.||Only observation would be that last year they had Sticky Toffee Pudding on the menu and it was fabulous. What has happened, it's not on the menu anymore. The desserts are a little samey and monotonous and once you've eaten twice, we didn't tend to have dessert.||BRING BACK STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING||Thoroughly recommended. Great location, mid to upper range but good value for money, good tasting food and great friendly staff.||Hope the review is helpful.||Stuart

We stopped off for some food with dogs and kids. They were extremely helpful and welcoming and the food was delicious!! Great portion sizes and attentive throughout at checking we had all we needed. Will defo be back here again.

Describing itself as having “luxurious rooms/accommodation”, there were certain expectations set and unfortunately they weren’t met. We stayed for 3 nights and, while the room was decent (basic), the room wasn’t cleaned properly during the time we were there (hair in bathroom from previous stay/s), worn fixtures and furnishings (holes in the day curtains), and they didn’t replenish the water in the room. We ate at the pub on the first night and food was overly salty. The dishes tended to be Asian fusion which didn’t seem to hit the mark. Overall, good location but not much else going for it.

They have a separate GF menu, I was so excited! I chose the burger with fries. I can't have dairy, and they easily understood, they checked all the ingredients and I just needed to have it without the parmesan. Absolutely delicious, proper food, just gluten free! Fabulous staff too, very helpful and friendly, and my partner enjoyed a local brewed pint.

Big place, good ambiance. Service is friendly but a bit slow. Tomato soup was just okay. Asparagus in asparagus appetizer was light green and a bit bland. Sea bass and pea risotto were both good. Decent place to get fed but not exceptional.

plas yn dre is appauling, i was on my way back from holiday with my my disabled partner and our two children when we were looking for somewhere to have some food, we saw this place and thought it looked welcoming and i went in first with our 5 year old son and went to use the toilets befour we sat down to eat, half way up the stairs where toilet signs were an older woman came out of the bar area fag in hand shouting excuse me what are you doing straight away i said we are just about to to eat here, im just taking him to the toilet first she then shouting agressively this is'nt a public toilet, your so rude i was taken back at how rude she was, then once again i tried to say we are about to get a table here just using the loo first, she did't even let me finish speaking before again saying i was rude, she was so outragous to us at this point my partner was in the doorway looking confused she then turned and practically pushed him out the door with our 3 year old daughter, i walked down the stairs with our son towards the door with her giving me abuse infront of my confussed family then pushed the door behind us as if i had done something wrong, this made me so cross we only wanted to use the toilet before we sat down and i would never expect my disalbed partner and children to be treated like this, i am a nurse and am not rude, i spend my time saving lives.
