Pete's Eats Cafe

Pete's Eats is a cafe in Llanberis, North Wales, popular amongst walkers and climbers in the Snowdonia region of mountains.

History

Pete's Eats opened in August 1978 [ [http://www.petes-eats.co.uk/static/peteshistory_01.asp Petes History] ] , taking its name from Peter Norton, its proprietor.

The building was refurbished in 2002 [ [http://www.petes-eats.co.uk/static/about_us_01.asp Pete's Eats website - About Us] ] ,taking over the adjoining building to create much-needed space downstairs and adding a hotel, showers, and library.

Before its refurbishment, Pete's Eats was painted bright mauve, making it a highly visible building in the town. It is now a dark blue.

Pints of tea

Pete's Eats is famous for its pints of tea, using mugs made specially for the shop. The pint of tea has been very popular for groups coming off the nearby mountains.

Food is available, mainly of the fried variety, chips, and chip butties. However there is always a good selection of healthy eating options as well as a number of choices for both vegetarians and vegans. [ [http://www.petes-eats.co.uk/static/about_us_01.asp Pete's Eats website - Our food] ]

Climbers

The cafe was traditionally populated by climbers, whose photographs from around the world decorate the walls.

A climbing route-book is stored in the cafe, and anyone wanting to record a new climbing route in the Snowdonia area should visit. The library contains guides and maps for mountains worldwide. [ [http://www.petes-eats.co.uk/static/about_us_01.asp Pete's Eats website - About Us] ]
