    This is our 2nd visit to the Lowri and won’t be our last! We had the Sunday lunch menu which was just perfect. Starters of smoked salmon and Caesar salad were so good. Then 3 of us had the roast beef, which, in our opinion, was exceptional! One of our party asked for her beef to be well done (very well done)! And this was done to perfection. The other guest had the cod which was equally delicious. Deserts were 3 sticky toffee puddings and 1 cheesecake, not a crumb was left! Our server was only 3 week into her post and was so engaging, professional and helpful- a credit to the team. Definitely recommend the Lowri Sunday lunch and will most certainly be going back.

    The food is always incredible! Fresh and great portions even on the small plates! I wished you brought back the garlic king prawns (their were my favorites!) I would love to thank you guys and the whole team for making my sisters birthday so special! We were being served by the most lovely server! He was so kind and patient with the kids! He was charismatic and the kids absolutely loved him! The floor manager (i am assuming he is) was so kind and professional! I absolutely loved the experience and will always come back!
