One funny thing worth noting - I got a call yesterday evening that apparently Porth Eirias haven't got their permanent alcohol licence yet so I'll have to bring my own bottle on Tuesday evening... and they've had so long to prepare!


After all what is time, a mere tyranny.

That's odd - they served me a glass of beer last week (very nice it was too - 'Great Orme Celtica'). Does this mean they had a temporary licence that's now run out (and aren't currently serving any alcohol)? I don't know how these things work, but it sounds like terrible planning.

Yes I think it was a temporary licence.

Did they say anything about a Corkage Fee?

Corkage is standard practice in this situation, and I do not think £5 is to bad, that plus your own bottle will be a lot cheaper I am sure, than his wine list will be......... however a new one coming on the scene is "cakeage" a charge for bringing your own Birthday cake etc. ???

Love it!  Is that to be followed by "Oldage" for when you bring elderly relatives?

 and brokerage when you pay the bill.


What is surprising to me is the opening hours. I would have thought 9.00pm a little early to close. Not somewhere to plan a night out really.

9pm is just last food orders, I don't imagine they'd chuck you out before 11pm. At least, I would hope not.  ZXZ
