Food scene
A mid sized pub with a large beer garden in the castle walls, the pub serves an exclusively vegan menu but even if you’re not vegan it’s worth a try to experience how good vegan food can be!

We have three fish and chip shops in Conwy but Enochs, just over the water in Llandudno Junction is well worth the walk! A lovely walk with views - make sure you book in advance if you want to eat in. Takeaways can be pre-ordered if desired.

City advice
Getting around
Conwy train station is around 7 minutes walk.
From Conwy you can get to the interchange at Llandudno Junction which will allow for connections to Deganwy, Llandudno, Betws y Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog. I’m the opposite direction to Penmaenmawr, Llanfairfechan, Bangor and Holyhead. Conwy is a request stop so be sure to check timetables (Trainline is ideal)
