Hi I'm planning to climb Snowdon soon and I have most of my kit already, still a few bits to buy but I'm generally sorted. My big question is food, I estimate that it'll take 2.5 hours up the mountain and same again down so I don't need to pack for war but I have no idea of how much/what type of food to take.
What is a good idea to take in terms of food? Any advice will be appreciated.

Makes sure you have more than enough of that. Eat something with a lot of carbs the day or morning before. Like pasta. Slow release of energy. You might want to take some other high-energy foods to snack on while you're there. Like chocolate, in case you start feeling tired. And of course take a regular meal with you to have maybe half way or before you descend. Not food related but try and take hourly breaks. No more than 10 minuets.
