The Black Boy Inn - Caernarfon

Was very busy here but service was still great, really old and interesting inside. The black boy pie was absolutely delicious, but very hot so be warned if you're hungry! Will definitely be coming back, it's also apparently nice to stay in.

The menu featured a wide variety of appetizers, mains, and desserts, all of which were well-prepared. Our meals arrived piping hot, beautifully presented, and tasted fantastic. However, I should warn you to wear clothing with a bit of stretch, as the portions are quite generous. Overall, the meals provided excellent value for money. I highly recommend this spot for either a casual drink or a fantastic meal in a lovely historical setting.

We discovered the Black Boy after not being able to secure a table at our first choice, and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! We ended up dining here three times in six days, including for a Sunday roast, where they kindly allowed me to bring my own precooked Yorkshire puddings. The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, offering several safe dishes to enjoy. Each time we visited, we filled out a form to inform the kitchen about any items to avoid. They even have a separate fryer for chips, which was fantastic.

I enjoyed a delightful roast lamb dinner, ending with a delicious lemon tart. While they don’t have a separate gluten-free menu, they do provide an allergen book.

We went with a group of non-GF folks for Easter Sunday lunch. The staff was knowledgeable about allergies and ingredients, and they had a full list of allergens present in every item on the menu. I let the server know we had a “celiac order” before we began. My (celiac) kiddo and I both enjoyed our meals and neither of us had any reaction, allowing me to confidently recommend this restaurant. She had cheese fries with a side of bacon (it was an enormous serving), and I had the vegetarian nut bake.
