I wish them all the luck in the world Jack, but I have to wonder just how long they will last.
If a good Landlord like Graham couldn't make it work there's not much hope for the newbees. ££$

I wish them luck too. The Cross was the first pub I ever went to (at the age of about 5/6yrs - it was in the blackout anyway) and was a favourite until it got gentrified. It was once a Llandudno intellectual institution with the "brains trust" of Dick Lewis, Biffo et al holding forth all afternoon and into the evening.  ££$

Isn't it the lads from the Townhouse that have taken it on?

Not been enough reviews on here for a while.... but its time for a new one.

Tonight, Mr and Mrs Fester decided to pop in for a meal in a place we have been before, and beore it was OK... .... but NOW there has been a big change.

We were drawn to a poster in the window of PARS RESTAURANT.     ''Eat all you can buffet .... £11.50''
My first reaction, was OK, might be worth a try .... but we didn't expect much for £11.50

It is not a curry house, it is not an Indian.... it is Iranian / Persian cuisine.... and I must say, its absolutely 1st class.
Surely It won't last ... offers as good as this never do, in my experience.  ¢¢## ¢¢##

In a nutshell, you CANNOT eat better than this for that price.   $dins$ $dins$ $dins$

There is a buffet of silver salvers and servers, and as you lift off each lid, the different starters and main courses tempt you with their superb spices, but the quality of the meat and ingredients is obvious to the eye.
When it says Lamb Tagine, it means LAMB.   Too often restaurants are tempted to substitute beef for lamb... but not at PARS.
There are several Lamb dishes, numerous chicken dishes, rices, vegetarian options etc....  and each one is excellent.
The owner came out to speak with us after our meal, and he is planning to add a fish course too!
A very nice guy who has owned businesses in Llandudno for many, many years...

We eat out very often in Llandudno, and often find good value ... but now it will be hard to avoid making this our preferred choice.

Basically,  I can't fault it.
I have visited and worked in India, and although this is Persian, I know that this food is way above what I have eaten in this or other countries.
Good luck to them .... I can see then being incredibly busy, too busy for me to get a table, very soon.

For £11.50, eat all you want .... how can you go wrong?   $dins$ $dins$ $dins$

You’re quite right Fester. its on my recommended list to our guests. If you really enjoyed your meal be a friend and give them a five star write up on TripAdvisor. When you see some of the other places in the town that have got higher placing you realise there is no natural justice.

If you like your food spicy,  and you are a carnivore like me .... you can't go wrong.

It sounds great and we must give it a try.

I wonder if there are already new owners in place or the maybe the present owner is trying to boost his turnover to help encourage a sale.

Either way, it certainly looks good value-for-money.
