We just wanted a relaxing drink and a light lunch so we popped in to the Sportsman. Heading to the bar area, we were welcomed by a charming lady who provided menus. As we were eating in the evening, we decided to have the large cheeseboard to share. It was ample. All the cheeses were delicious and came with some tasty crackers, chutney, celery and frozen grapes (not seen that before). We ate the lot! It was just what we needed before reclaiming our car to drive back to Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Although outside the Royal Sportsman looks like any small town Welsh hotel, the bar and dining room are quite different with refreshing modern decor and atmosphere, service was good and food outstanding with a range from 'pub ' style to fine dining dishes. We had the steak pie, vegetarian burger and prawn linguine which I would particularly recommend , the prawns were very fresh and the fusion of flavours was delicious. I will certainly eat here again when I next visit Porthmadog.
Excellent value for money room 3excellent for a disabled person very friendly staff owner very easy to talk to if you have any problems
Wow! What a pleasant surprise, from the outside the hotel looks somewhat basic, so you don’t know what to expect but then you walk into the bar and it is so mod and stylish, I loved it! I love pubs but I was in the mood for a cocktail in a different sort of environment. Did not eat there but the menu looked nice. Only 4 stars because the bar staff doesn’t seem to know it’s bar well, I know staffing can be tough but to be a cocktail bar one should be able to speak to the available drinks. It was also extremely bright in both the bar and the restaurant with such nice decor, a better mood would really make this place a total winner. But, overall, a great option in Porthmadog.
Our Sunday lunch club goes to different places and this turned out to be one of the best. The service was excellent and the food was rated positively by everyone, in terms of taste, variety, quality, presentation and value. Instead of queueing at a carvery, the fixed menu choices accommodated everyone, including special diet needs. We'll certainly want to return.
