GLAN YR AFON / RIVERSIDE
The Glan Yr Afon/Riverside is a family run country pub; we very much lean towards being a restaurant. Glyn and I (Corina) bought the freehold in May 2010 and work together with our 7 year-old son Dylan and a great team of staff. We want the Glan Yr Afon/ Riverside to be a place where everybody is made to feel welcome whether it be for a quick pint or meeting with friends and family for lunch or dinner in the bar or restaurant.
In January 2011 we completed the refurbishment of the down stairs, restaurant, lounge, bar & cwtch, we've transformed the bar and cwtch (welsh for snug). Giving more comfortable seating for dining or just relaxing with the family, complete with a double fronted log burner offering the warmth and magic of watching a fire no matter where you sit on the colder days in Pennal. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar and cwtch. We serve premium lagers and real ales over our bar –we have a guest ale in each week ranging from the Purple Moose Brewery – Dark side of the mouse, Glaslyn & Madog beers - Reverend James, Abbots Ale and plenty more. We also pride ourselves on an interesting and value for money wine list.
We have enjoyed transforming the Glan Yr Afon/Riverside since 2010, and hope you enjoy the relaxing environment we have created. We have dressed all of the walls with pieces of Glyn's artwork collected over many years. All the artwork we have chosen are from Glyn’s collection of Welsh artists - Wyn Jenkins, Nick Holly, John Napp Fisher, Kyffin Williams.
We have a la carte menu, which changes seasonally offering only fresh local produce where possible. We serve food in the restaurant and bar lunch times 12noon – 2.30pm and dinner time 6-9.30pm 7 days a week.
Accommodation
Our plans to develop the upstairs as well as extending out the back of the premises to create 8 en-suite bedrooms, ground floor reception/office, paved outside seating more suitable for outside dining in the milder months on spring/summer are still ongoing. Due to the property being grade 2 listed plans are taking a little longer than we fist anticipated, however we hope to make a start on the first stage of the work within 2012. The bedrooms will all be dressed differently with the luxury of modern bathrooms, fixtures, fittings and wifi. Breakfast will be served in our dining room, we hope to be selling bedrooms by the end of this year!
We have free WIFI available.
