Foodie recommendations
Wonderful 'greasy spoon' option for any food lovers: so many options and at really great prices, too! Good portion sizes and amazingly tasty. Not fast food, so be prepared to wait a little when you've ordered - but it is worth the wait! I also recommend the ice creams, milkshakes, and cocktails. They've got great options for kids, and the dairy free ice cream selection is wonderful.

Love beer, ale, that sort of thing? Then this is a must visit! "Cwrw" means beer in Welsh and this place delivers on its name. Pick up some local brews and find a new favourite! Don't forget to check out the adjacent Tangled Parrot: a record shop that shares premises with Cwrw.

This is a bowling alley with its own community cafe (seriously, their mocha is to die for) and a play area for little ones. The food is reasonably priced and very filling, but we come here for the coffee. Oh, and the bowling!
