The Toad, Colwyn Bay

Situated on the promenade at Colwyn Bay, The Toad is a food orientated pub that has developed a good reputation amongst locals and visitors alike in recent years. It used be to known as the Toad Hall but the name changed when current owner Pete Hammond took over a few years ago and revamped the premises/menu.

Curiously, the pub is on the first floor of the building, which means a climb up a flight of stairs to enter. It's very nicely furnished and still feels more of a pub than restaurant. There's a fair size menu, with all the usual favourites and they also have a Specials board. The food is well presented and portions are a good size. In particular, I can recommend the Homemade Cheese Burger and Homemade Steak & Cumberland Ale Pie. I'm also told that their steaks are very good. Nice selection of desserts, also. They have the usual choice of lagers/beers and a few Real Ales on offer - the Cumberland Ale is always popular.

The Toilets and a Pool Table can be found downstairs (accessed via an internal stairway) and there is also a few tables outside for those warmer days.

I've always found the meals and service there excellent. Pete Hammond and his friendly staff always make visitors feel welcome.
