The Blue Bell in Conwy

Really disappointing experience because of the following.I had messaged several days in advance to find out when final orders for food were (as I had noted that the kitchen closed at 8pm, so wanted to be sure I would arrive with plenty of time). I was told that orders could be placed up to 8pm and absolutely no later.I travelled 45 minutes to this pub, really looking forward to trying the array of vegan food on offer.I arrived at 7.35pm and picked up a menu, only to be told that the kitchen was closed. I told them that I thought it closed at 8pm, to which the reply was "it usually does, but we've sold out of food". The way I was told was not very apologetic. I wouldn't say it was rude or dismissive - just sort of matter-of-fact.I have of course heard of pubs, restaurants and cafes running out of particular items, but to not have any food available whatsoever was not acceptable in my opinion.I know times have been tough for businesses over the past couple of years, but the fact that I messaged ahead of time to ensure that I would get to try some food really added to the disappointment in this case. I just assumed, like I do with all food venues, that I would be able to sit down for dinner as long as I ordered by the required time.So, a really disappointing experience, but great that the menu is pretty much entirely vegan (apart from cow's milk as an option in teas and coffees). I would like to see the cruelty milk removed completely in future to allow for a fully vegan pub which would be a great addition to a beautiful area. Hopefully one day I will actually get to try the food!

Big ticks in the friendly staff and nice food (great chips) categories. It's a cool looking spot with a great atmosphere. Family and dog friendly.The inside seating could easily be filled by a handful of groups. We were lucky to grab seating around dinner hours.The staff did everything right to make us want to drop in when we visit North Wales again.

Stumbled upon the restaurant by chance and as we are vegetarians it was a sight to the sore eyes. Enjoyed the food throughly. Loaded Nachos are a must try.

An entirely vegan menu full of interesting options. When we visited, they had run out of hot dogs, but we went for vegan burgers which were delicious. Reasonably priced, lovely atmosphere, dog-friendly and nice décor.

Really good vegan burgers and ales.Nice staff and very clean restaurant and back garden.Food was great. Highly recommend if you're vegan or craving a good burger.

Stumbled upon the blue bell today after googling vegan food in north wales. Absolutely didn’t disappoint, best burger I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back to check out the quiz or open mic nights!

Friendly atmosphere. Food was simple but very tasty. Really liked the names of the burgers.

Loved this place. Top vegan grub and my kind of pub. Would visit again without hesitation.

I got here by luck and loved the place, the environment, the menu, all the nice messages and the great customers inside. The right vibes.Will return every time I can! Small tip for the staff, please let us know that burgers already have side fries, so I won't ask for a third one and may get a side hahaha. And one suggestion for the cooker, amazing burguers! But it would be even better if I could eat them without making a mess @@, bigger bun maybe, not sure. Amazing place and tasty.

Stumbled upon this lovely place while out walking in the bay. We’re not vegans and yet absolutely loved the meal. Delicious vegan feast: chilli nachos are so tasty, spicy and well flavoured. Love the salad and the homemade guacamole. Hot dogs were big and juicy. Cannot recommend enough.
