点评:Llangollen was packed, nowhere to park (weekend and public holiday), so headed towards the Rhug Estate and Bala.
Have passed The Berwyn Arms many times, but never quite at a time to want to stop (usually in a rush).
However, today was a more leisurely drive and so parked up and popped in.
The initial welcome was as soon as we arrived and the level of attention and service continued in that vein for the whole visit.
Two of the servers were young but obviously well trained and naturally well versed in delivering excellent customer service.
Order taken promptly, drinks delivered and the perfect pour for gin and tonic (ie didn't put the whole bottle in, how it should always be).
Arancini to start, amazing, well presented and delicious.
Mains of a lovely beef and chorizo chilli plus fresh cod and chips. A couple of steps up from pub grub for sure.
A glance at other tables showed that the less traditional meals (lamb shank and salmon) both looked fabulous - presentation excellent and empty plates a clue too.
I can absolutely recommend a visit, we will most definitely be going back and not just passing by.
The views over the Dee are incredible, so a summer visit too, will be on the cards to use their outdoor deck.
Well done, a great hidden gem.
翻译:兰格伦人满为患,没有地方停车(周末和公共假期),所以我们朝 Rhug Estate 和 Bala 出发。
路过 The Berwyn Arms 很多次,但每次都不想停下来(通常很匆忙)。
不过,今天开车比较悠闲,所以就把车停好,然后进去了。
我们一到就受到了热情的欢迎,整个访问期间,他们的关注和服务水平一直保持着这种水平。
两位服务员很年轻,但显然训练有素,自然也擅长提供优质的客户服务。
点单很及时,饮料送达,杜松子酒和奎宁水的倒法很完美(也就是说没有把整瓶都倒进去,应该一直这样)。
开胃菜是 Arancini,令人惊叹,摆盘精美,味道鲜美。
主菜是美味的牛肉和西班牙辣香肠辣椒,还有新鲜的鳕鱼和薯条。绝对比酒吧小吃好几步。
看了一眼其他餐桌,我们发现那些不太传统的菜肴(羊腿和鲑鱼)看起来都很棒——摆盘精美,盘子空空如也。
我绝对推荐大家来这里,我们肯定会再来,而不是路过。
迪河的景色令人惊叹,所以夏天来这里也行,可以使用他们的户外露台。
做得好,隐藏的宝石。
