Evening Restaurant at Craig-y-Dderwen in Betws-y-Coed, Snowdonia

The restaurant menu is prepared here each day by our team of Chefs, therefore given notice we should be able to provide for most dietary requirements. We strive to produce a balanced menu working with local seasonal produce.

Our cellar contains over 100 hand-selected wines from across the world designed to complement the dishes we prepare.

Our sample menus were created by our Head Chef John Williams, for over 25 years John has retained multiple AA rosettes for culinary excellence, a Michelin star and is one of only a few Fellows of the Master Chefs of Great Britain.
