Holland Arms - Isle of Anglesey

Sunday lunch was diabolical frozen mixed veg floating in water very little meat roast potatoes looked like little cubes hardly brown no Yorkshire pudding tiny portion.

Avoid like the plague! Glasses were diry no ice. The tables were dirty and sticky. The food arrive and was of a very basis standard. I think the chef forgot to put tomatoes in the lasagne, very bland with poor quality mince. The hunters chicken was as dry as sand. Never again, we tried to support local businesses but when you pay £50.00 for 3 meals and all you are served is basic cheap cafe style food. Never again!

I was always told to start any report with a positive so here it is: The staff were friendly. They smiled at us and exchanged pleasantries as we entered the pub, chose our table and sat down. Having said that though, our experience of eating here was at best grim ! Four of us went for an evening meal and our first impression as we walked into the place was that it was cold, barren and completely cheerless. It was a chilly evening but there was no heating on nor was the fire lit (It wasn 't even laid the grate was just full of old ashes and litter. However, we decided to give it a whirl thinking that the staff would get the hint and organise some sort of heating if we sat huddled up in our outdoor coats for long enough. Wrong! We were left to shiver! The menu seemed ordinary enough the usual pub grub at prices just slightly above the norm but not extortionate. Anyway we 'd travelled a fair way and were tired so we ordered our meals (1 steak, 2 cod chips 1 surf turf). Yuk! The surf turf was swimming in grease, the steak was 70% grizzle the fish inside the batter was a very strange grey colour. Definitely not a dining experience we 'd ever want to repeat. This is the only pub in the area and must surely enjoy a fair amount of tourist trade. With a bit more effort to brighten (and warm) up the sitting area (and possibly a different chef) it could surely develop a reputation as a great place to eat and drink in that part of Anglesey. Get your act together Holland Arms.

We were staying in a holiday cottage in the next village so tried here for something to eat. The landlord couldn't of been more friendly helpful. He let me change around the veggie menu. The food was fantastic it was piping hot freshly cooked. Oh the Dragon fire bitter was the best bitter I've ever tasted. Also the pub is dog friendly which is a rare find in this area I found.

Only ate here 4 times but thoroughly enjoyed every meal during my stay at the hotel. Burgers were freshly prepared every evening and were amazing with loads of great Welsh cheddar propping off them, the chilli I had one evening was delicious too. On the 2 occasions I had a Sunday roast, I couldn't fault it, enough to choke a horse and the pork and beef roasts I had were very tender and succulent. The staff service was excellent and very attentive and above all the value for money was second to known. Thank you
