Things to do in Dolgellau
6. Marian Mawr Tearooms and Cafe
Reviewed By Gavioli
This tea room opposite the Marian Mawr car park in Dolgellau in Wales, has no right to be a viable business. The attitude of the staff stinks. When my wife and I visited, the place was devoid of patrons but there were 3 young waitresses who were having a rare old natter behind the counter. This natter continued for the full 25 minutes that we waited to have our order taken. In the whole of that wait, the girls kept nattering, did not take our order and could not have been more disinterested in us.However, this apart, a local male came in about 10 minutes into our wait and he was served by all 3 waitresses within a minute of arrival. They danced attendance round his table like bees round a honeypot, served him his order, he finished it, paid for it and left while my wife and I were still waiting to have our order taken. Eventually we walked out and found a fantastic fish and chip restaurant round the back of the tea room, in the centre of Dolgellau itself.The owner of this establishment and his racist or simply idle staff, or both, should really remember 2 important business facts.a) It is not English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, or any other nation in the tea room, it is money. This commodity simply happens to be transported by people of many nations and regardless of the conveyance, it is the lifeblood of any business that wants to survive and the staff who want job security. If they don`t like the people, at least respect the money that they inject into the business. b) It is a business trueism, certainly in England and has been so for decades, that each satisfied customer tells 7 others, but each dissatisfied customer tells 23. With the wonders of the internet and Trip Advisor, the figures will be much greater. The owner should get his airheaded staff in order, before more non Welsh people such I, spread the unwelcome word, because as it exists at the moment, it has absolutely no right to trade in a tourist area.

This is a gogeous setting, being an old building. My wife and I had breakfast here and it was OK.. The bacon was overcooked -and a bit tough - maybe a reheat? Everything else on the plate was great. I only tried breakfast. We never made it to Y Sospan for an evening meal. At night the cafe was full and looked like a great place to have a drink, based on their selection of gins.I did expect better, based on the reviews.

Visited on a few occasions when weâve been in Dolgellau and each time the food has been amazing. The first time I visited I had the chicken soup with homemade cheese scone. The soup was thick,comforting and delicious Cheese scone was fluffy and went well with itThis time I had the vegetable quiche. I asked if it was hot and it was. I like my quiches hot! It was a big slab of thick chunky roast veggies in a creamy pastry tart and a large salad and coleslaw Amazing. So full but managed to share a homemade hummingbird cake for aftersDog friendly which is great. Luna our Labrador was very accommodating by hoovering up the crumbs Didnât realise that there was a huge floor upstairs as well with comfy settees so you donât need to squeeze yourself downstairs Maybe that could be better explained on the signage going upstairs Friendly, helpful staff Well done

I visited for lunch with my friend today at her recommendation and Iâm so glad I did.We both had the smoked salmon salad and it was delicious. Both cold and hot smoked salmon, coleslaw, garlic mushroom rice, salad leaves, tomatoes and more. The quality of the ingredients shone out and everything tasted very fresh.After this I had a scone with jam, it was honestly the best scone Iâve had in years. My friend had shortbread with marzipan in which looked amazing too as did all of the other cakes on display.The attention to detail in the table settings and the food was clear to see and the staff were lovely too.I will be returning! If you are in Dolgellau I would urge you to pop in and treat yourself. Thank you for your review. Iâm pleased you enjoyed our salmon salad. See you again soon.
