The present Ty’n Llan premises were built in the 1860s as part of the Glynllifon estate. It’s an impressive Grade II listed historic building and is the heart of the picturesque village of Llandwrog. From Eben Fardd to Edward H – poets, singers and celebrities have met here over the years.
About Us
A fair life
A safe world
The pub’s doors closed in 2017 and the village was left with nowhere to meet and socialise. In February 2021 over 100 villagers showed their support to safeguard its future and buy the building. Menter Ty’n Llan, a Community Benefit Society, was established and over £400,000 was raised in shares. With the help of several public funding grants, the future of the pub is safe.
A good old beer
Ty’n Llan’s doors re-opened on a temporary basis in December 2021 and the village residents enjoyed putting the world to rights together. The consultatio and design work continued and and May 2024 the pub closed its doors again – but this time for the exciting renovation project! Following 18 months of extensive building work, we finally reached our main objective in November 2025 and our original vision is now complete.
The Staff
Ty’n Llan currently employs a large team of full and part time staff – Business Manager, Bar Manager and Deputy, Community Officer, Project Co-ordinator, bar staff and waitressing staff. Our chef Adam and his wife Cherisse run the restaurant in partnership with Menter Ty’n Llan and employ their own team of kitchen staff. Are you interested in working behind the bar or in the kitchen?
