The Union Inn, Porthmadog

I was last in Tremadog in 2009 and only visited the Golden Fleece, which is situated directly opposite across the Market Square. I remember seeing the Union Inn, but it wasn't on my agenda for that day! This time, I entered to find two rooms with stone walls either side of the entranceway. A central bar serves a real ale (Glaslyn) and a real cider (Rosie's Pig Strawberry & Elderflower). A couple of locals were present, whilst a couple of other visitors also arrived after me. The Union Inn has replaced the Golden Fleece as Tremadog's pub of choice in the Good Beer Guide, but based on my experiences in both, there is little to choose between them. Be careful of opening times. I believe the pub only opens in the evening during the week.

a great welcome from Charlotte and her mum in this family pub. Good pub food, especially good curries. Lots of homemade food which is served lunchtime and evenings. They have a restaurant as well as the pub itself.
