The Cayley Flyer

Pleasantly surprised actually and I’m glad we took a chance in this place. I would definitely be returning here next time we come to Rhos on sea. After a day on the beach and knowing we’d be heading back home to the GM region we just wanted somewhere to sit inside and have a decent meal to put us on our way. We went to a place up the road initially that had previously told me that day they serve till 8pm but was actually 6:30. As we knew we would be going home we just wanted to spend as long as we could on the beach as we had to get back home for work commitments so didn’t head out for dinner till gone 6pm. This was the first hot sunny day we had seen in weeks though so we was making the most of it come what may. I had looked here earlier when having a mooch around the shops with my daughter but turned my nose up at it a bit tbh as I assumed it’s just a sports bar with pub food that wouldn’t have much choice or good quality and wanted something a bit better for my family. Yet when we was let down by the other place because they were a bit rude due to being very busy and only having 5 minutes left in which to order our food anyway we decided to leave that place but the last thing we wanted was to be driving around eith 3 hungry tired children looking for a place to eat. We called in at the pizza place, which is lovely but was fully booked and the other place across the road stopped serving food at 6:30. What is it with these places only serving food till 6:30 these days? It’s weird! Anyway, we called in to here doubtful they’d still be serving anyway but luckily they was. We was so happy to find a place still serving that we was willing to compromise on the overall experience but how wrong was I? There is actually a nice dining area to the back. Very clean and modern. Yes it is pub grub but the t was very delicious and home made.. The food quality was way better than I had ever expected. The drinks are lovely and a very good price considering it’s on the seafront. It’s little things for me that impress like the cutlery being pristine clean wrapped in a napkin and the presentation of the food which was really nice. The lady serving us was exceptional. Her manners were excellent. Very good customer service skills. Very polite. The food took only about 25 minutes to half an hour to arrive after ordering at the bar but it was well worth waiting for. I had lasagne, it was delicious and the ciabatta garlic bread was yummy too. The salad was delicious and fresh too. Everyone in my family really enjoyed our experience and the food here to the point that we all said we preferred it over the restaurant we’d paid nearly 3 times as much for the previous night at a restaurant out in the sticks. At the end of the day, I really appreciate good honest simple food that doesn’t try to be clever or arty farty with all kinds of flavours that don’t necessarily go, it’s just so nice to have a decent, well cooked, delicious homemade meal with expected flavours in the kinds of meals you actually want to eat with your family. The whole experience was 5*. I will definitely recommend this place to others and definitely will be returning.

New ownership recently July 2023 A good all round place to eat. Food cooked & displayed well. Good service.

Had 3 small plates for £12 and a lasagne and a kids sausage and chips. Chips were perfect. All of the food was really tasty. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again if we're in the area.

Beautiful place too have a few blood orange gin ( I recommend beefeater) . Lovely staff , great food especially 6 share plates for £20. Well worth the money.

We came for a meal after scattering our mom and dad's ashes . Was made to feel very welcome Food was very nice . Clean and tidy . All lovely welcoming staff . What more can you ask for . Hot food served and welcoming . Gift it a try you won't be disappointed.
