Organic sourdough pizza, live music and DJ sets in the dunes at Porth Tyn Tywyn, Rhosneigr. Twenty-eight days, one stretch of Anglesey coastline, and then we're gone until next summer.
Organic sourdough pizza, garden salads, proper coffee and a bar that knows what it's doing — served off a restored 1968 Mercedes in the dunes. Dough made and stretched on site, every day.
Organic sourdough bases, made and stretched on site and fired to order — all day, every day of the season.
The Greek Garden Salad and the Dreamboat Bowl — most of it grown by us. See the dishes ↓
Single-origin Peruvian arabica, organic and fairtrade, pulled through our Fracino machine. Plus the turmeric latte people keep coming back for.
Open 8th–31st, and never on a Tuesday. Espresso martinis, Irish coffee, seasonal cocktails, cold beer and wine — and our tequila sunrise ice lollies.
A lot of what ends up in your bowl was grown by Mike and Linda. Not as a marketing line — as a year-round habit. Tomatoes, cucumber, rocket, courgette, kale: sown in spring, picked in the morning, on your table by the evening. When something isn't ours, it's sourced properly.
It's also why the salads change. We serve what's ready, not what's on a laminated list.
Organic quinoa with zesty green harissa, courgette and kale from the garden, pomegranate, rocket, and homemade houmous made with organic chickpeas. Zesty green lemony olives. Feta if you want it.
Not always on the board — it depends what the garden's giving us. If you see it, order it.
Made without gluten-containing ingredients. We make and cook our sourdough on site, though, so we can't promise a gluten-free kitchen — do ask us if you need to be careful.
Tomatoes, cucumber and rocket straight out of the garden, a little red onion, feta, and Moroccan green olives. Lemony, zesty, finished with balsamic.
Simple, and it lives or dies on the tomatoes — which is exactly why we grow our own.
Photographs of the garden and the growing coming soon.
A Mercedes 406D, to be precise. The shape, the size, the vibe — we were hooked. We spent a long time peeling back fifty years of other people's dreams to restore and convert it into ours.
Dreamboat is Mike's passion for Mercedes trucks, woodworking and fabricating, meeting Linda's obsession with food that pleases both the eye and the belly. We designed it to be flexible, just like us: friendly café, vintage cocktail bar, proper food stall — or all three at once.
For one month a year we take the whole thing off-grid into the dunes at Porth Tyn Tywyn, add a canopy, an oven and a stage, and call it Pizza @ The Beach.
A mix of live acts and DJ sets on selected nights through the month — nothing goes up here until it's confirmed. Pizza runs every day we're open, right through to the 31st. More is being booked weekly, so follow @dreamboat1968 for announcements.
Full bios and set times in who's playing below.
A month of live guitar, three-piece singalongs, tropical DJ sets and Balearic sunsets — booked for a canopy in the dunes. Set times, links, and who to contact if you want them at your own do.
He's been playing live since he was a kid — punk bands first, then touring Britain and Europe playing more or less everything, with live sessions on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music along the way. He cut his teeth properly on the Leeds circuit before coming back to play around Ynys Môn and North Wales.
What you get now is the distilled version: a music graduate with a renowned voice and a finger-picking style to match, working under a broad Americana umbrella — funk, blues, country, that vintage classic sound. Well-known songs reinterpreted in his own laid-back acoustic style, with a bit of eighties and pop thrown in. Springsteen, but done Rory's way.
He isn't precious about any of it. He wants people entertained and having a good time, and that's what you'll get on the sand.
He also fronts Rory E. Lee & the Oddfellows — dive-bar country, blues and Americana — who play Soft Sundays at the Boathouse in Holyhead on the first Sunday of every month.
Miv Cameron, Kevin Hughes and Dave Livingston have been the sound of an Anglesey afternoon for years — Castle Square in Beaumaris, the taproom at Bragdy Cybi, the beer garden at The Ring, the Bull at Pentraeth, and over the bridge as far as Rhos on Sea.
It started as a duo. Dave came along fifteen years ago, they changed the name to fit, and the three of them have been at it ever since.
Sixties and seventies favourites, Irish songs and jigs, and a set built entirely around getting people to join in. This isn't a concert and they'd be the first to tell you so — expect These Boots Are Made for Walkin', an Irish jig with everyone on their feet, and a last-song Hey Jude the whole tent sings. Sing along, dance along, don't take it too seriously.
They've had Johnny Vegas up on stage with them, which tells you roughly what kind of night it is.
Takes over at 8.30pm when Rory finishes, and runs it till late. Opening night doesn't end quietly.
Previously of Café del Mar in Ibiza, and our exclusive resident for the whole of August — curating the music across the month and taking the sunset hour himself.
Porth Tyn Tywyn faces due west into the Irish Sea, which makes it one of the few places in Wales you can do the Balearic sunset ritual properly.
A midweek live session under the canopy. We're finalising the details — full billing to follow.
Tropical tunes on the dunes to close the bank holiday weekend, with the season's last long evening on the sand. Bar's open.
Four nights still being confirmed — a mix of live acts and DJ sets. Announcements go out on Instagram and Facebook as soon as they're signed.
For one month only, Arwyn brings the Balearic sunset ritual to the west coast of Anglesey. Café del Mar built its name on one simple thing — the right record at the moment the sun touches the water. Porth Tyn Tywyn faces due west into the Irish Sea, which makes it one of the few places in Wales where you can do that properly.
Arwyn is curating the music across the whole residency: warming up the early evening, holding the room through the live sets, and taking the last hour of light himself.
There's no bar on a Tuesday, so you're welcome to bring something to drink with a meal from us. Order your pizza, pour your wine, watch the sun go down. No corkage.
Just so we're all clear: it's Tuesdays only, and it's drinks to go with food you've ordered from the van. We're not set up as a bring-your-own party spot, and we can't allow it on any other day of the week — the bar's open for that, from the 8th to the 31st.
Our own blend of organic spices — warming, golden, gently sweet, with the pepper that makes turmeric work properly. Stir a spoonful into hot milk, dairy or plant-based, and you'll understand why people keep coming back for it.
It started as the thing we made for ourselves on cold mornings in the van. Now it's the drink people ask for by name, and the one they want to take home with them.
We're putting together a small run of tees for the season — the van, the waves, and a bit of Welsh. Join the list and you'll get first pick before they go up, plus first word on 2027 dates.
Concepts — not final. Tell us which one you'd actually wear.
Weddings, private parties and corporate events across Anglesey, Gwynedd and North Wales — but everything we do is designed from scratch for the day. There's no set menu to choose from and no package to pick, because we've never done two events the same way.
We take on a small number of events each year and we turn most enquiries down — not to be difficult, but because we'd rather do a handful properly than a lot adequately. We hold a personal alcohol licence, so the bar can come too. Dates go early.
Tell us what you're imagining, when it is, and roughly how many — and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Dreamboat is at Porth Tyn Tywyn beach car park, Ty Croes, Rhosneigr, Isle of Anglesey, LL63 5TD — just off the A4080 coast road, between Cable Bay and the turning for Rhosneigr. It's a large pay & display car park, and the beach is just beyond the sand dunes.
Twenty-eight days, and then we're gone until next summer. We're open every day right through to 31 August. The bar runs from the 8th to the 31st, and never on a Tuesday. Music is on selected nights — a mix of live acts and DJ sets, announced as they're confirmed.
We're writing this season's food menu and drinks list up now — it'll be on the menu section of this page shortly, and downloadable so you can check it before you set off. Until then: organic sourdough pizza every day, garden salads, cakes, organic coffee, our turmeric latte, and a full bar from the 8th to the 31st.
On Tuesdays, yes — please do. There's no bar on a Tuesday, so you're welcome to bring something to drink alongside a meal ordered from us. No corkage. It's Tuesdays only though, and it's drinks with food rather than a bring-your-own party — every other day of the week the bar is open instead.
No — the bar is open from the 8th to the 31st, but never on a Tuesday. On Tuesdays there's no bar, and you're welcome to bring your own drinks to have with a meal from us instead. That's Tuesdays only.
No. Entry is free and there's no ticket or booking needed for any of the music nights — just turn up. Pre-ordering is only for the turmeric latte powder to take home.
Yes. We're outdoors in the dunes with a large canopy, and well-behaved dogs are very welcome. The coastal path and beach are right alongside us.
Come anyway. We're open every day of the season, rain or shine — there's a large covered canopy, the oven's going regardless, and the dunes are lovely in the drizzle. No need to check first.
Yes, and it's a lovely walk. The coastal path runs right alongside us — it's about 20 minutes on foot from Rhosneigr village, and about 15 minutes from Cable Bay.
Yes — Porth Tyn Tywyn is a large pay & display beach car park, and we're set up right there. It does get busy on sunny August days, so come early if you can.
A lot of it from our own garden. Mike and Linda grow the tomatoes, cucumber, rocket, courgette and kale that go into the salads, sown in spring and picked through the season. It's why the salads change — we serve what's ready rather than what's on a fixed list. Anything we don't grow, we source properly.
Very much so. We've historically served vegetarian and vegan food only, and that's still the heart of what we do — organic sourdough pizza, garden salads, plant-based milks for every coffee. We now also introduce some well-sourced non-vegetarian ingredients on occasion, so there's something for the whole family.
Porth Tyn Tywyn faces west, so the sunsets are the main event. In August 2026: 21:01 on the 8th, 20:47 on the 15th, 20:32 on the 22nd, 20:16 on the 29th, and 20:11 on the 31st. Our resident DJ Arwyn plays the sunset hour.
Possibly — everything we do is bespoke, so there's no set menu or package. We design each event from scratch, we only take on a small number each year, and we turn most enquiries down. If you'd like to ask, email info@dreamboat.wales with what you're imagining, the date and rough numbers, and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. Dates go early.

This is where the line-up gets announced first, and where we post every morning to say whether the weather is with us. Same handle on both.
