With so many options for such a small village, it's hard to know where to start

Trearddur Bay isn’t just about the stunning beaches and walks. Its dining scene is made up of local gems, cosy spots and family-friendly pubs. Here’s a quick guide to places to grab a bite, a drink or just relax while taking in the views. All are within easy walking distance.

The Driftwood

A relaxed pub that’s good for catching sport on the telly and enjoying straightforward, good-quality and good-value pub food. It’s a no-frills, friendly spot for a proper meal without any fuss.

Lola’s

A charming, locally run spot that works well for coffee, a light bite or a glass of wine. The atmosphere is relaxed and it’s a nice place to sit and look out over the bay. Occasionally there is evening entertainment, which adds to the casual feel.

Farrel’s

Right next door to Cwtch y Môr at the end of the drive, Farrel’s is a lively local pub with slot machines, a pool table and a family-friendly atmosphere. They serve bar snacks and run a summer programme of entertainment including quiz nights and karaoke. It’s more of a social hub than a quiet drink.

Trearddur Bay Hotel / Inn at the Bay

A convenient all-round option with a restaurant and pub serving meals, plus a beachside beer garden kiosk offering pizza and snacks. There is also a playground for children, making it an easy stop after a day on the beach.

Sea Shanty

A popular mid-range restaurant offering consistently solid food in a comfortable setting. It’s a reliable choice for lunch or dinner with friends or family.

The Stores

A pizza and wine bar with a standout outdoor seating area tucked into the dunes. It is on the pricier side, but the setting is one of its biggest draws, especially for evening drinks when the weather is good.

Little Indian

A bright, modern Indian restaurant with snug booth seating. The food is well regarded locally. Seating can feel a bit tight, so takeaway is often the more comfortable option for some visitors.

The Seacroft

Located on the other side of the bay, The Seacroft offers outdoor seating and a more relaxed dining option at reasonable prices. It is a pleasant walk across the beach, although many locals still tend to favour the Sea Shanty.

Oceans Edge

A stylish beachfront restaurant with excellent views over the bay. It is one of the more premium dining options in Trearddur Bay and suits a slower, sit-down meal rather than a quick visit. Service can be inconsistent during busy periods. For drinks, you may experience longer waits at the bar, particularly in peak season. However, for main meals, table service is generally more structured and runs more smoothly once seated.

Licenced to Grill (Porth Dafarch Beach)

A relaxed beachside spot right on the sand serving freshly grilled burgers, seafood and casual dishes. It mainly operates during the day and can often sell out later on, so earlier visits are usually better. They also offer excellent specials including lobster and seafood platters when available. The menu changes regularly, so it is worth checking their Facebook page for daily updates. Popular items do sell out, so flexibility helps.

Scarlets Fish and Chips

A traditional takeaway in the village for fish and chips. In our experience, it can be a bit inconsistent and not always the best value in terms of portions or quality. For a more reliable chippy or Chinese takeaway, we usually head to The Angel in Holyhead opposite Asda.

Book early!

Many of these places are popular with both visitors and locals, especially during peak season and weekends. For drinks, lunch or dinner, it is worth booking ahead where possible when you book your stay at Cwtch y Môr.
