Harden's survey result
Summary
Marking a new chapter for the Palé Hall Estate, this new gastropub-with-rooms (there are six for stays) sits on the roadside near the gates of the well-known five-star estate near Bala. Relaunched in April 2025, the ancient building (dating from 1695) has been smartened up with a recent £1million refurbishment by owners Anthony & Donna Cooper-Barney, with a view to retaining the feel of a classic village pub. There’s a dining room with 60 covers and a bar area with original stone walls, beams and fireplaces. Motorsport memorabilia is a feature. Pies, fish ’n’ chips and steaks all feature on a locally sourced menu of somewhat upscale pub grub provided by chef Tristan Fitt.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
