to create much-needed space downstairs. The refurbishment also left them with a hotel, showers, and library, while creating a much lighter space in the cafe itself.

Before its refurbishment, Pete's Eats was painted bright mauve so becoming the most visible building in town. Some people joke that as a response to this, the town of Llanberis has painted every other building in even brighter colours, to put the buildings on a more even footing. Pete's Eats is now a dark blue.
