Eating out
Anglesey is rightly famous for the superb produce of its farms and its waters. Its excellent seafood is in high demand as far afield as the Phillipines and its salt marsh lamb is much sought after. For it's extraordinary range of local products Hootons Farm Shop in Brynsiencyn is heaven. If you are lucky enough to stay when the Asparagus is in season it's a world class treat. Unlikely as it may seem Anglesey has its our own vineyard on the island in Llanbadrig on the north coast.
All of this local produce makes for excellent places to eat it, the newly refurbished White Eagle at Rhoscolyn has a menu rich in local specialities in a beautiful rural setting. They also boast a fine range of Welsh beers and a quality (and sensibly priced) wine list. Closer to Pen y Clip is the celebrated Ye Olde Bulls Head in Beaumaris. The cosy oak panneled bar gives way to a choice of dining areas, the bustling, airy downstairs bistro is hugely popular with locals and visitors alike and always boasts a good choice for veggetarians as well as confirmed carnivores. The elegant upstairs restaurant has had numerous great reviews in the national press and has near legendary status for the quality of its food cooked in a modern British style, making great use of local produce.
The third Saturday of every month sees the local high school (5 min from Pen y Clip) transform into a bustling market place as local farmers and producers come together for the monthly farmers market.
