Porth Tocyn

Gwynedd, Abersoch - Modern British - Restaurant - £££

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Very Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Very Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

Just like Abersoch beach below, Porth Tocyn is an enduring family affair (and a Guide stalwart for more than six decades). The next generation, Henry Fletcher-Brewer and wife Kelly, understand hospitality as acutely as the rest of the clan, and are gradually chucking out the chintz as this much-loved hotel's 76th season shapes up to look tastefully contemporary.

A country house spirit pervades the menu – think smoked salmon millefeuille layered with cream cheese, filo and red pepper, followed by venison Wellington with creamed cabbage and glazed baby veg. Puddings such as espresso mousse with burnt shortbread, custard jelly and doughnut ice cream, or roast apricot with a vanilla madeleine, coconut sorbet and pistachio caramel, are a shade more dashing. The kitchen works hard to pl...

The kitchen works hard to please (the souvenirs on sale are jars of homemade marmalade) and the Porth Tocyn package remains correspondingly easy to like.
