Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[hollins]

You are on the right track Hugo but it isn't Abersoch.

[Hugo]

I thought that because of the shadows in the photo it was on the southern Llyn Peninsula but if it isn't Abersoch then is it Pwllheli?

[hollins]

Not as far down as that.

[Neil]

Dylan's at Criccieth is my guess.

[hollins]

Well done Neil, correct.

[Neil]

Did you enjoy the food? I have only had Mussels at Menai Bridge, it was excellent, I think I will be a regular at the new Dylan's in Llandudno.

[hollins]

Yes, I like the food. I have only ever had fish dishes but there is plenty of variety including pizzas and snacks.
There was no lobster available this time so I started with crab cakes and then had sea bass. Mr H had whitebait and then sea trout with sweet potato and pak choi.
I have eaten at Menai Bridge several times but this was the first visit to the Criccieth branch.
The location is fantastic and I was so pleased to see the building being put to good use as the last time I was there it was looking rather forlorn.
I think they were understaffed this visit as we were asked to wait about half an hour before a table became available even though we could see spare places.
It was no hardship to sit outside on the terrace first with a drink though. The food was also slow to arrive but we were in no rush. The crab cakes arrived only warm though.
There is a smaller menu for the bar and outside terrace and after 2.30pm a smaller one still for the afternoon service.
I too am waiting with great anticipation for the Llandudno one to open but I think I will leave it a while for them to get organised as I don't want my first visit to be a disappointment if the service isn't good at the beginning.
What a delight it will be to get a window table there after a cocktail under the dome!

[Hugo]

I thought of Dylan's first of all and had a look on Google Street view but couldn't see the posts and the boardwalk so I discounted it and didn't have any other clue except that it was on the Llyn.
A lovely location and good quiz Hollins     

After we had a walk in Criccieth a while ago,we enjoyed a coffee and cake in Catwaladers, not quite as grand as Dylan's but still very nice with stunning views from the back

[hollins]

Mr H enjoyed an ice cream from there on our first day but I was too full after our lunch at Dylan's.

[hollins]

Any ideas where in North Wales this is?

[hollins]

Here is another picture clue.

[Hugo]

In the first picture I thought that Cadair Idris was in the background and this latest photo looks similar to how I remember Castell Y Bere.   
Did you go down to Abergynolwyn after your stay at Criccieth?

[hollins]

No, we didn't go there Hugo.
The place we visited wasn't far off route on our way back home from Criccieth.
The building was a wedding present and there is an amusing story about it.

[Neil]

Is it Dolbadarn castle Llanberis?

[hollins]

No, sorry, not there.
The building was owned by an architect.
