Team Dylan's really is one team. Across all our restaurants, kitchens & shops, we think of ourselves as one family, all working together to support each other through daily service.
Below are some faces & names that you'll know well, but there may well be some that are new to you too!

Lucy lives on in LlanfairPG & is never happier than when out running along the beautiful coastline of Anglesey or spending a day on our fantastic local beaches with her family.
Constantly inspired by North Wales, & the wonderful scenery from the sea to the mountains, she is always glad to be able to bring this aspect into her work with Dylan’s, reusing & recycling to create wild and wonderful creations to adorn the restaurants & stores!
Between four restaurants, a shop, bakery & production & a prep kitchen, alongside a thriving wholesale business, a lot of information flies around every day.
David has made it his mission to try & keep track, speaking with customers & Team Dylan's every day to keep everyone in the know, as well as shouting all exciting news from the social media hilltops.
He lives in Menai Bridge, a stones-throw from the original Dylan's restaurant, where he worked on the bar for 3 years before moving to Head Office.
With many years experience in both hospitality, as well as wedding & events coordinating, Gemma is the person responsible for ensuring large bookings, weddings, events & functions are planned perfectly at Dylan's.
