“ We were staying locally and found The Beachcomber on a local review site. Due to having a dog we could not eat in so we decided to take it away. They had just opened but I was greeted warmly, my order was taken and while we waited we had a drink outside. Food came quickly and was delicious! Highly recommend. ”
“ I feel like Anglesey just has all the best food. We've had the best Indian, best Chinese, best fish and chips, and now the best Mediterranean / Tapas food. The name and building definitely do not give the impression that they sell tapas, and inside it is decorated more like a modern pub so unless you read the menu beforehand like we did, you wouldn't know what to expect. They were fully booked when we arrived (luckily we had also booked a table) which was already a good sign. Had to wait a couple of minutes for our table to be ready but got brought through to the lovely atmospheric dining area to be seated. As you can expect from somewhere selling Mediterranean food, they had Estrella on tap along with other good brands. Big selection of spirits, wines, and other alcohols. We ordered drinks which were quickly brought out. The restaurant must still be adhering to some COVID guidelines as we weren't given individual menus. Instead, each table was presented with a chalkboard with the menu written on. As well as this, not all tables were filled so they must have been staggering the bookings to ensure there weren't too many people in at one time. For the 4 of us, we ordered one hanging kebab skewer (lamb) and the other 3 ordered 3 tapas plates each. We had 2x king prawns, 2x beef cheek (which I believe was a 'special'), 2x calamari, 1 chorizo, 1 patatas bravas, and 1 chicken wings. Now when I say this is some of the best food we've ever eaten, I mean it. Every mouthful was incredible. The beef cheek was so incredibly tender, the king prawns were massive and full of flavour, and the calamari was not rubbery in the slightest (something I find you get quite often at restaurants if it's cooked too much). The lamb from the kebab was also so tender and cooked to perfection. The chips are the best kind of chips that are really crispy on the outside then very fluffy in the middle. The coleslaw was also great. Everything is clearly cooked fresh by very talented kitchen staff. The menu is quite small in terms of options but it just goes to show how they've perfected the items that are on offer. We've been to Benllech about 6-7 times and never thought to try the Beachcomber until this year and we're so mad we never tried it before!! Definitely going to be a place we come to again when we're next in the area. Just for reference, they do request a deposit when booking a table which gets taken off the final bill when paying. ”
“ Food was absolutely delicious! I visited with my partner and we both had the hanging chicken kebab. The chicken was marinated and cooked to perfection. It came with some lovely homemade chips, side salad with homemade coleslaw and a tasty garlic mayo dip. We also tried the tapas chorizo in red wine & honey, we couldn’t fault either of these dishes, very tasty and cooked very very well. This is a pub, as well as a restaurant so had a good selection of drinks available too. Finished off with what seemed to be homemade desserts of churros and a warm brownie. Both very good aswell. Overall VERY good food, would recommend to anyone. The place was very quiet when we visited, but considering it is still only March, mid week and the beginning of the season, it wasn’t unexpected. With lovely staff, there isn’t any reason i could give to not try this place out, lovely little gem. We will be back if we are ever in the area again. Thank you ”
“ Brilliant little bar/restaurant! Called up last minute on bank holiday Friday to book a table for 4 adults and 6 kids (poor planning on our behalf) and they moved the table plans around to fit us in. Staff make you feel at home and the service and food were impeccable. Highly recommend. ”
“ I would give ten stars for the food here if it were possible. We were a hungry party of six including a child and a teenager. Wow! Service with a smile - between us we ordered most things from the menu and it was all spot on. If you're in the area you need to come here! ”
“ Fabulous. Simply fabulous. The food here is the best we had on the Isle of Anglesey. Fantastic value and bursting with flavour. You must Ty this place. ”
“ We absolutely love it here. We go every time we come to Anglesey. The food is always amazing, Chorizo with honey and wine, the chicken wings and pizzas are perfect. It's our son's favourite place to eat. We drove from Holyhead on our last holiday, it is that good. The staff and owners are very welcoming and friendly. Our son has lots of allergies and they very careful and understanding. The chef has come out to see us to discuss a few times, which something we really appreciate. Thanks for all the fabulous food and we'll be back again and again............ ”
“ The hanging lamb was really wonderful with a lovely mint dip. Accompanied with chips and salad it was a great meal. We also had a couple of Tapas dishes as a starter. Chairs could be a little more comfortable but otherwise a rewarding experience. Owner was very helpful and attentive. ”
