Food & Drink

Food and drink are central to the experience at The Erskine Arms. The cooking strikes a balance between refined gastropub dining and comforting pub classics, making it equally suited to a relaxed lunch after exploring Conwy Castle or a romantic supper beside the fire. Behind the bar, guests will find a well-kept selection of ales, beers, wines and spirits, with local Welsh drinks featured. The warm dining rooms, candlelit corners and traditional  atmosphere make the pub particularly inviting in the winter months, while the courtyard offers a pleasant setting for drinks and outdoor dining in the summertime.
