"Me and my grandma decided to visit loggerheads as she hadn’t been in a while and we we hoping to enjoy a drink and sandwich outside in the sun. When we arrived the queue was out the door and it seemed the cafe was severely understaffed. We waited in the queue for around 20 minutes before being served. The cakes and sugar cubes were being surrounded by wasps from outside. We ordered a tea, iced coffee and 2 sandwiches (avoided the wasp cakes) which came to a huge £21.10. The tea was way too strong (pouring out black) and only a tiny amount of milk was given. We were told the coffee would be brought to us along with the sandwiches. We sat outside in the sun and when our sandwiches arrived we were rudely told we couldn’t sit on the table we were sitting on as it was too far on the grass area (about 30m) and all other seats outside were either taken or overrun by wasps. We then decided to sit inside. There was no coffee brought to the table so we then had to ask for them to make it again. It was served in a plastic ice cream sundae dish with about 70% of it being ice. My grandma asked a kind worker (seemed to be from Liverpool) if she could have a new tea and she was absolutely lovely and happily fetched a new one. She was probably the only pleasant worker we spoke to. The sandwiches were on really thick bread with a dark and thick stem salad. There was no cutlery provided which we had to ask for again. We felt rude having to push in the queue just to keep asking for things we hadn’t been given. We were both in agreement that we wouldn’t be rushing back there again. The cafe has so much potential but just seems to be doing everything wrong."

"Since my last visit, the place has had a refurbishment, and looks a lot better, although I didn't mind the way it was before. This is a pub I have visited before whilst in the area for walks. I always enjoyed it's unchanged and old fashioned feeling, with the quietness and a cheap basic pub meal. The things I once enjoyed may well have gone for ever now, although I can understand that the business has to make money and therefore what I like might not be what everyone else wants. I can't comment on food, as we didn't eat, but we did look at a menu, because our child was hoping for a something to eat. Sadly, all that appeared to be on offer was Sunday Roast. No portions of chips or kid type meals on offer. We bought drinks in any case, and noted that the pub was very busy, though we managed to get a table right in front of the entrance door. As it was a freezing cold day, I got an icy draught every time someone entered the pub which was frequently, as the place was buzzing. There was a fireplace behind me too, but it has no fire in it. The choice of beers/lager did not enthrall us either no craft ale, and the lager was Kronenbourg. We wanted a quiet relaxing pint, but realized that we'd picked the wrong pub, and perhaps the wrong day. It's probably quieter on a Saturday? So, if you're looking for a smartly refurbished pub with a great Sunday lunch and you like lots of buzz, then you may love this place. If you like a quiet relaxing pint of decent beer/lager and more choice of things to eat on the menu, don't come on a Sunday."

"Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I was taking some friends from Canada all around Snowdonia to see the sights and experience Welsh hospitality. Being welsh myself I am incredibly proud of my country. Sadly the cafe at the top of the horseshoe pass was closed, where I explained that I always get friendly service with plain wholesome food. It was 19.30 and sadly not many places were open on our journey back from the very North of Wales. I had passed here many times and couldn 't believe our luck that it was open.....that is where our excitement ended. I was in pain from the walking and driving to and fro, and so my friend went in to enquire if they were still serving food. we shut at 8 came the reply. So they quickly beckoned me in and order we did. To say that the middle aged female serving would turn milk sour was an understatement. We ordered plaice and chips....there were three of us. we only have 2 fish came the surly reply. Ok we will have the steak and ale pie and the 2 fish please we said. No acknowledgement, no please or thank you, so extra loudly I said Diolch yn fawr cariad hoping that she would at least give a smile if she was a fellow welsh person. Nope, not a crack. I immediately thought of a female Basil Fawlty. are you sitting here or in the restaurant part she enquired in a I wish you would go away kind of tone. So taking the initiative we moved into the restaurant area, where another group of Americans attempted their ordering.....poor things we thought. Out came the fish and chips (clearly frozen beforehand, but fair play they were cooked well and frankly cardboard would have tasted good, as we were very very hungry). The Pie....well, it was obviously again taken from the freezer. Which to be honest I get that, you cannot rely on custom so fresh would be impossible to achieve. BUT, that does not give the excuse for being miserable and downright rude. My visitors had not experienced this for the whole of our trip and have been greeted by my fellow welshmen with interest and friendly chat. I would avoid this place like the plague, I certainly will not be bringing foreign visitors again and suggest that maybe the staff attend some training on customer relations. It costs nothing to smile and be polite for me manners maketh man . No wonder the place looks run down, if you treat customers like this then word will get around. Give up now, put it up for sale and sell it to someone who is interested in making some money as I am fairly sure people would flock around if you were a little cleaner and friendlier."
