Welcome to Aberdunant Hall where we have our fantastic outdoor heated terrace (during peak season), cosy restaurant with an ambient atmosphere in which to dine.

Our Menu consists of a number of classic dishes, steaks and meats from the Grill as well as a collection of more sophisticated plates. As we are now in our Winter Season Dinner is served Friday & Saturday evening with our fabulous Home cooked Carvery on Sundays.

We only serve quality wines and beers and the tastiest food which is sourced from local suppliers. Adam Ellis our Exec Chef has designed our menus with a wide variety of options for special diets and with just a little tweak can be altered to suit the majority or diets.

We also have an area for guests who wish to bring their dogs when you dine. However please note that this must be notified in advance. Should we not be advised of your requirement prior to arrival we not be able to accommodate.

As always a nice atmosphere whether it be an evening meal or breakfast. Staff were polite, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is reasonably priced and freshly cooked with a good choice of a continental on top.

Using the Welsh and European Farm to Fork strategy, we farm our own meat, grow our own fruits and vegetables, and produce our own dairy with our colleagues at Northop and Llysfasi farm.

Where the music is acoustic and the lights dimmed, come sample our signature 15 hour cooked beef brisket dish or let us choose for you with our weekly specials. If the sound of that doesn't grab your attention, the smell of our fresh focaccia and sourdough we bake everyday will.

great surroundings. open and airy environment. plenty of attendants so getting attention was easy. the food was tasty and warm/hot. the price eceptionally low but understandable since this and out reach of the catering service of the yale/ial educational service. the service is entirely given by the students themselves who are keen and willing to help in any way. I will be going again. very much enjoyed the experience. Warren Burg

This big open space with its easy, informal mood has an open kitchen where Bryn’s team of chefs turn simple, local, seasonal ingredients into extraordinary bistro-style food. Menus are served all day by interesting people who really understand food, and there are no rules, so you can do what you like: tuck into breakfast, graze over small plates at the bar, share a Sunday feast with family, watch the sun go down with friends. Good times with good people, and no distance between you and the beach.

About the restaurant

We’re proud to say that we champion local produce and regional suppliers; from
Mermaid Seafoods here in Llandudno to Dolmeinir Meats, whose wares come direct
from the family farm on Anglesey. We bake our own bread every day, make each
and every sauce or accompaniment – the mayo, the bearnaise, the dips, the
chutneys – although we’ll own up to leaving the ketchup to the experts.

We loved our Sunday lunch at Next Door - fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend. Our only point to make is that we were the only customers - Sunday afternoon, week before Christmas. It's a little out of the way from the main high street which could explain it. Apparently it is busy in the summer. This is a great find!!! Will hopefully be back soon.

We arrived early but wasn't a problem and we were shown to our table straight away. Fish and chips was the nicest I've had in years and the homemade tartare sauce was so delicious! Very attentive waiter.
