Ok.... How about this one? It's one of the bestest, most useful cafes ever...

I love Pete's eats.

Along with Eric's caff in Tremadog, reasons for climbing in N Wales on their own.

A few additional points

The decor - the walls are covered in photos of climbers climbing, messing about, travel photos etc.

In wet weather at the weekend it gets very busy - at times there are no tables at all.

It used to be cheaper - it's still pretty good value but you'll no longer get change from a fiver for a snack and a mug of tea.

I think they also do a meal called a Big Jim - combination of nearly everything on the menu. It's named after Jimmy Jewel, legendary welsh climber, killed about 10 years ago. He was the only one who could finish the plate apparently!

Have they got an Internet site?

Sprout

No it got closed down coz it was unpopular.

I'll add those. I forgot to mention about rainy times crowd.
I'm impressed by someone who can finish any of the meals!

Okay, I managed to incorporate all your points
and I'm gonna put you down as a researcher

*wanders in and starts being generally supportive of Britain's best cafe*

Their jacket potatoes (particularly with garlic and cheese) are fantastic. It's a bugger trying to get a large mug of black tea there though, as their tea machine makes it automatically white.

I'll put your comment in under Customer's Comments

Yes, you should definitely mention in the main bit about the appeal of their pint mugs on winter days.

B

Pint mugs of....

(put you as researcher )

Well, usually tea or coffee or soup, but I'm sure they'd be quite happy to serve you a pint of milk, orange juice or other preferred beverage.

If you're going to do customer comments, it'd be best as a list format:

What does that do?
Will I not need ?

tea machine

Last time I was there it was a teabag and spoon, I thought. Modernisation eh. Bet Eric hasn't got a tea machine in his caff.

Sprout

Never been to Eric's

Try the list thing and see - you'll be pleasantly surprised.


is the curse of the Edited Guide and all Sub-editors hate it. In properly written ML it should be used virtually never.


And yes, they did have a tea machine last time I was in. One of those jet powered swooshy things. Only problem is, the tea comes out already milked, which is not how I like it.

B

Maybe mention for drivers that there is lots of free parking round the back by the lake. About 100M from the caff.

sorry....

I don't know what else to use...

What do you think of it? EG material?

check...

Oh, most definitely.

As long as you keep it from becoming too commercial, this'll be fine.

B

What do you mean by commercial? (so i can avoid it...)

It's fine so far, but if it stops becoming a tourist-guide type thing and starts becoming more of a hard-sell advert for Pete's Eats, you know you're going in the wrong direction.
