Britannia Inn in Flintshire

We have been here many times and always had a lovely meal.. the one time we don’t have a good meal.. we were told to contact Sarah the next day.. 3 messages left and no return call.. shame as we just wanted to give some feedback around our experience.. I have left positive feedback in the past and this is by no means negative feedback it would just have been courteous to get back to us to discuss.. we will return as the food is good and the staff are friendly it was just a one off disappointing meal.

We dined at the Brittania inn as a large family group. Everything was piping hot and all arrived together as it should. The staff were very attentive to our needs. We sat in the conservatory area with beautiful views over the Dee estuary. The locals in the bar area were a lovely mixed bunch of people too. Highly recommended the Brit!

Been here a few times and had breakfast and evening meals . Lovely food and well presented and tasty. Staff are very helpful and polite . It's also a great place to bring your motor home or caravan with fantastic views across the estuary, also has toilet and shower facilities which are lovely and clean . Lovely and peaceful stay .

Absolutely fantastic food, couldn’t fault a single thing, I can thoroughly recommend the tandoori chicken flatbread and my husband had the Brit grazers - stunning, certainly be back very soon. A big shout out to the staff, very friendly

Ordered Walking in Memphis club sandwich. Sandwich came with salad garnish. This was frozen. Unfortunately the lettuce inside the sandwich was also freezing cold making it unpleasant bearing in mind alub sandwich has toasted bread. Told the waitress. She told us to ask lady behind bar. No Manager on premises apparently. She said she could phone the Manager to ask what to do. On our way to airport so no time to wait. Don't know what the rest of the food is like obviously but wouldn't bother to visit again based on this experience.

We went for a celebratory meal - we arrived and sat is a designated dog area, upon our arrival we noticed a few members of staff whispering and looking at us, as petty as this may sound, it made us feel very unwelcome. We where later asked to leave the designated dog area to sit on a table by ourselves with no one around. We ordered our food and it was lovely. Shortly after I went up to the bar to order dessert at 5:20 to which I was told they they where not serving food anymore, around 20 minutes we saw a lady bringing deserts to another table. Please bear in mind our main course took 10 minutes to arrive after being ordered. I’m really disappointed with the service at the Britannia Inn. We felt very unwelcome.

We turned up at 5:30pm having not booked and the staff were very attentive. They seated us straight away and accommodated a move away from the door despite being busy outside. We ordered food and a drink at the bar and staff were friendly. Food turned up promptly and was piping hot and freshly cooked. Would definitely go again.

Arrived just after 6pm asked for a table for four and two infants was told no we are too busy. There were three tables being used ,the rest of the restaurant empty! Decided to sit outside as all tables bar one were vacant told by waitress they were too busy to serve us outside. Left angry and confused by such awful attitude towards customers.

Absolutely amazing! Today we had a function for about 50+ and WOW the food, staff, pub everything was amazing!!! Sarah and team really go out of their way to make sure whatever the occasion that every event is perfect for all who come here!!! The food was out of this world, I can’t each much but I had a pick! And everything was so lush, fresh, gorgeous just bloody sexy plates of food!! I must say I’m not a cold slaw fan BUT I did try a little and bloody hell it’s defo one I’ll have again!! The best thing that’s happened in years is Sarah taking the pub over! She has gone above and beyond to get it back to where it should be and the girls done it! This is the best pub/grub/restaurant I’ve been to in a long long time! I will be back and can’t wait to try the main menu BUT I have been told that the Brit breakfast and the pizzas are one NOT to be missed!! Thank you for today, he would of loved the buffet as it was outstanding.

Absolutely amazing place, beautiful views, lovely and clean, lovely staff and the food was fantastic! Our new favourite local by a mile! Keep up the good work :)

We arrived and made our way to the bar, lady behind bar just pointed your over there no friendly greeting. We sat at our table and went up to make our orders. Shortly after young waitress came to the table to inform us 1/2 fried chicken and chips with a sauce we had ordered was no longer available. My friend was offered chicken goujouns or wings in its place ( not quite the same as 1/2 chicken) as she was looking the young girl kept saying goujons would be nice instead of giving her time too look. My friend decided on the gammon and asked could she still have the sauce, the waitress said she would ask, at this point the young girl took the menu and said it’s £3 more can you go the bar and pay please. A little shocked as surely there should be some leeway as the kitchen and bar staff should have more communication regarding what is no longer available, but we paid. When the starters arrived the salt and pepper chicken was basically 4 chicken goujons with some peppers and onion and salt and pepper flavouring not fresh chicken as you would expect, the other starters were nice. Main courses arrived and the pie with melt in the mouth pastry I was expecting to be home made but was just a processed pie although it was flavoursome, when the gammon arrived my friend asked if she was able to have the sauce with it and was told it’s a different dish. My husbands scampi and chips was basic and no better than a Witherspoons dish, and a friends steak was overpowered by the rosemary. As I have seen from previous posts comment will be made dishes went back clean yes they did, I have by no means stated the food was inedible just not the standard you would expect for the price and service was poor, A better explanation of why the sauce could not be given with the gammon and a better explanation of we no longer have the dish you wanted I’ll give you some time to look for something but unfortunately if it’s more expensive you have to pay the difference, although many establishments would have wavered the £3 as it was a mistake the order was taken for something not available. Unfortunately, as a group of friends who like to eat out regularly and try lots of local eateries to use we were disappointed mainly with the service.

Booked tonight as last weekend we couldnt get a table it was fully booked Had great meal food and service was excellent great to see the pub so busy

Iv said it before and il say it again, we are so so lucky to have this pub as our local, we have come this evening for food both having the curry of the day which was lamb rogan Josh, WOW!! Absolutely incredible, all meals we have had here have been 10/10. Hearty home cooked meals, we always leave satisfied 😁 We have lived in Pentre Halkyn for just over 4 years, the pub has had several owners, but since Sarah took over earlier in the year, we have to say she’s turned the place around for the better! We love coming here! Sarah runs the pub but also is the sole chef 👩🏻‍🍳 fantastic cook! Big shout out to Sarah and her team for creating such a warm friendly environment for all! X

Fantastic menu here at the Brit, im a vegetarian and there is a great selection of food, tonight i had the homemade cheese pie it was delicious! I quite often bring family and friends to the Brit for tea, and we are always welcomed by the brilliant staff here and of course the gorgoeus food. Dog friendly pub, with treats on the bar for your four legged friends. Looking forward to seeing the hot tubs at the back of the rooms to let, there are 2 rooms in total. Well done Sarah and team for all your hard work, the place is always booming!!

Over the the years this lovely countryside pub has been a regular place for my family to celebrate special occasions, impromptu meals out and a go to for the odd pint. My husband and I decided to have an evening meal last Saturday, for the first time ever we were very disappointed. I had curry of the day which was really watery... I've had better £1 frozen bargain meals... Sided with chips that I'm quite sure had been served 3 times previous... My husbands pie described on the menu as 'buttery melt in your mouth pastry' was like old Rhinos skin that had basked for hours in a sandy desert, disgusting. I'm so so disappointed and can honestly say my family won't be returning for any special occasions in the near future. The staff were lovely that's why I've gave this review 2 stars and not 1.

We Visited this restaurant tonight and what a great find. The pub is set with stunning views in a village. The staff were very friendly and food was excellent. We had the Butchers Block which I recommend. I will definitely return and 100% recommend a meal here .

Lovley to have new people in our local pub bring it back up to how it used to be years ago Clean Friendly Great food Went with friends 12 of us The food came out together And everybody enjoyed it we have been a few times now and has always been very enjoyable specially the home made chips !!! If you have a motorhome or caravan it's great spot to stop over the views are amazing and has facilities

Had to order and pay at the bar and drinks a bit if a pain anyhow we ordered I had mine had to go back it wasn’t hot it was warm /cold plate staff a bit rude the gammon was not very tasty either and I counted 5 chips oven chips not proper chips and the pie we counted couple pieces of meat disappointed all decor still the same no change

Food is tasty and varied but our experience wasn’t the best, the meals were not presented hot, one had to be sent back to be reheated. The welcome lacks somewhat, food is advertised to be served up to 8pm but we saw people turned away at 10 minutes to 8.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Beef was beautiful. However, we found the staff less than enthusiastic, to say the least. Our friends asked the lady behind the bar for a slice of bread and butter to be told 'if its not on the menu, she won't do it!' Will give it another go, but this is our second visit to this beautiful pub since the takeover and each time we have experienced long waits and unhelpful attitude. Asked to speak to the manager in person to be told she was too busy!!! Hence the review...Please do some staff training, you clearly want to make this work and this should reflect in your front of house staff.

We visited this public house on our way to our overnight stay, we went in for some dinner not knowing that they stop serving at 18.00, we arrived at 17.48 but the chef agreed to serve us, we both had a turkey roast dinner which was very very nice, we would like to thank the chef for accommodating us with a meal so late in the day.

We had a 3 course Sunday lunch for £18.95. Roast beef dinner was amazing, full of flavour, all home made. So full had to take home made roulades home. Will most definitely return. Staff all very helpfull.

New manager and chef , the food was great and I'd defo recommend it. They've struggled lately with not being able to get a great chef but it looks like they've finally found one. 😁

Shut when we got there but website still says it’s open. Wasted journey. Why can’t these people undate their sites

Great little find! Set over looking the River Mersey, greeted with a warm welcome by bar staff. Great Chessy garlic bread served with two great meals!

Great food nice staff and just a pleasant evening Relaxed atmosphere and just a pleasure to visit I work away a lot and have pub food all the time , Good and bad . I have no complaints with this place Keep it up and...

Popped into the Brit today with a couple of friends had a nice Sunday lunch at a reasonable price. Glad to see they have a chef again.

Sadly very disappointed. I went with friends locally. They have a 2 tier pricing system, if local they charge you less !!!!It is awful. Barman obnoxious. He passes you card machine And does not even tell you price. Will never return and we under previous...

A real find on route to North wales.Very much off the beaten track.We stopped at lunch time.We both had sandwiches and chips which were great and tasty and very reasonably priced Service was great in an old and beautiful building.

Me and my partner came here last year and thoroughly enjoyed our experience, proper home cooked food ! But unfortunately we were not able too revisit untill today ,after such a great experience previously we had high hopes but today it did not meet our...

My friends & I went for midday lunch. The restaurant was very busy. The food was delicious. I don’t normally eat chips but these where delicious crispy on the outside nice & fluffy inside. We all asked for small meals but we all struggled to...

Absolutely beautiful food and even better service, could not and can not fault this place. A great view, lovely staff, quiet area and fantastic food ❤️

We want to thank the new managers for all of the effort they put in to make ,what was a sad occasion, go so well. They ensured that there was a warm welcome ( both log burners / fires lit ) tea and coffee ready...

Went for Sunday lunch, expecting a good meal although the pudding was fine, the main courses (four of) were mediocre and very small. Until they rectify this I would go elsewhere. Very disappointed.

Four of us went for Sunday lunch. We selected beef, turkey and lamb. Every dish was well cooked and tasty you couldn’t fault it. We just had enough room left for a sweet. Would certainly recommend the Britannia. The staff where efficient and helpful

Absolutely shocking sent my meal back twice don't waste your time or your money will never visit again

What a lovely pub, it’s under new management with lovely friendly staff. can’t wait to go back and even better when they have food. 10/10

What a lovely welcome. Great food, lovely people, fantastic views. Very very dog friendly too. We will definitely be returning.

Spent the weekend in the area, ate at the pub Friday and Saturday evening with friends and family. Service was out standing bar staff went above and beyond. Would highly recommend to visit.

We first went to this pub for lunch a couple of months ago and liked it so much we now go regularly. The staff are lovely, very accommodating, and the food is excellent. Our little dog is welcome too.

Booked a table and was put opposite the kitchen. It was very untidy and the chefs helper was dressed in a scruffy tracksuit. When the food arrived the burger still had a cellophane sleeve on it. Food was awful. It was a lovely view over...

Different management but very welcoming and friendly. Service was excellent and had a Sunday lunch the following day.

Recently refurbished so called in after a few years absence, was astounded. Food was top of the range, not pinged like so many, Hosts very welcoming and a section of fine ales for all tastes. Could not recommend highly enough.

As soon as i arrive the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was prompt, was warm and cooked to perfection. I challenge anyone to finish the Mixed grill or the 32 Oz Steak. The view outside is stunning too. a must visit.

Extremely pleasant staff. The beer was of an excellent standers. Very high recommended for a stop off on the A55. I will certainly be visiting again.

Have visited a few times and the food and service are always great. The beef roast yesterday was amazing and the best I've had in a long time. Couldn't fault a thing! It's great value for money too. We will definitely be back :)

WOW From start to finish!! Mum treated me to lunch out so we booked the Brit, and I’m so glad she did! I had the beef roast dinner and me mum had the Turkey, plenty of veg, all the trimmings and full of flavour!! No...

Hadn't been to the Britannia for a few years, last time we went it was spot on, this time it was far from it. Booked a table an hour before we arrived but when we turned up and were served drinks were told there would...

Lovely pub food lovely but unfortunately waiting times not good,had mains waited for drinks for quiet a while ,wanted pudding but couldn't be bothered with waiting time so paid bills and left.need to get better with serving customers.

Superb menu and excellent service. We were made to feel very welcome though we had not booked. The food was served up with superb friendliness. The view of the River Dee estuary was breathtaking and we are very much looking forward to our next visit.

Soo thort I would give this place a try never again will I ever go back food was minging 6.50 for a kids meal Scandalous they put loads of salt on my 2 years old food dident even mention that they put the salt on...

Food was OK, one hour wait not so good, people who came in after us were served first, had to ask twice when our food would arrive, not cheap either wouldn't have minded only reserved a table, won't be going back.

Fantastic meal and service, the food really was delicious. We had a huge mixed grill, chicken kebab and chilli. Great service from a young waiter with wonderful attention to detail. We will definitely be back soon. I left my lovely scarf there and still hoping...

Table of 6 poor service waited half an hour for staff to take order and over another half hour for food to arrive, customers who arrived after us were served first; Food was nothing special 2 of us had fish very bland will not be...

We booked a table for 8 within an hour of arriving. Food took over an hour to arrive, despite being the first table to arrive andv first to order. Apparently due to being short staffed (so why accept the booking?!?). We were not warned there...

Visited with friends for lunch. This is a local place which had a less than good reputation under the last owners but recently this has changed. We were not disappointed. Extremely pleasant, helpful staff. I tend to try a steak to test a new place...

This is a great pub with a lovely view. Just off the A55. We enjoyed excellent food and friendly service. The menu is varied and interesting with good options for gf and veggies. Can not recommend more highly. Thank you

We visited as part of a group of 6 (2 kids), we were made to feel very welcome by all staff. The decor is a nice mix of traditional with a modern twist and everywhere was clean. There was a good selection of food to...

Stayed over at this pub in a motor home on our travels through Wales. Exceptionally friendly staff. Went out of their way to get us a table to watch the football final.Excellent Sunday lunch . Will definitely visit again.

Warm welcome by the staff and a very friendly pub for dogs. Waitress accommodated our request to move seats so we could have a better view. Starters we had, Spicy buffalo wing and devil's whitebait. The wings were indeed spicy, very spicy!! The whitebait was...

Everything you would want in a country pub and more... warm welcome from the moment we entered, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. We will 100% be back soon.

Every year my wife and I journey to Llandudno, and always stop at the Britannia on the way for lunch, having travelled from the wilds of Lincolnshire. The welcome could not have been warmer, and nothing was too much trouble. The whole pub has been...

Staying at the local Travelodge, we followed a recommendation to have dinner here, and were very pleased we did so! A deservedly popular pub, there is a very friendly atmosphere and the owners and staff work hard to make you feel welcome and offer you...

Visited for an early dinner and was amazed at the quality and flavour of the food. The pub is clean and tidy and staff are great. Add in the view from the windows or terrace and you have a truly great experience.

I highly recommend staying here! Wendy and Lyndon are amazing hosts and very welcoming. The room we stayed in was modern and clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The food is to die for and cooked to perfection. There was a good...

This was a birthday treat from my sister. So to start we have 4 fussy eaters. So the staff are friendly, polite and well mannered, very helpful and make you feel at home. Now the food! Where to begin? The menu is NOT over loaded,...

The burgers are spot on! Probably one of the nicest burgers I’ve had! We had the chicken burgers with siracha Mayo with what looked to be homemade bread buns! Wendy and Lyndon are super welcoming! Not forgetting Nala the pug! Just off the A55 with...

An outstanding welcome at this brilliant gem of a pub and inn. Hospitality at its finest— clean, comfortable and a beautiful setting. What more could one ask for?

We visited after a long day touring North Wales. What a fabulous meal battered fish was exceptional and staff were very accommodating and friendly would definitely recommend and return again when back up here. Great menu choice. Compliments to the chef.

We stayed at the pub’s hardstanding for one night in our campervan. We had booked in for a meal but the landlady, Wendy had phoned several days before, to apologise, as they couldn’t open due to circumstances beyond their control but we could still stay...

My partner and I booked Sunday lunch and certainly were not disappointed. From arrival to leaving, everything was outstanding. During what are very difficult times, the staff at the Britannia did everything they could to ensure we had a lovely Sunday afternoon. COVID measures were...

Staying near Halkyn we headed to Mold to eat in the evening but being a small town the only restaurants were full. Somebody suggested the Britania which was around ten minutes drive. Glad we went, good place, good menu, good drinks & prices around what...

Was staying in the area and The Britannia Inn was recommended to us. What a fantastic place. The meals were amazing and the hospitality, food, drink and lovely hospitality.

Very friendly and helpful, let us sit where we could watch the rugby. Food was amazing (pate the best I've ever tasted). Clean bar and restaurant.

Loved our visit today. It’s in a fabulous location with great views. We were made to feel so welcome by the lovely Wendy and her staff. The food was delicious; generous portions and great value. We had fish and chips which I highly recommend. The...

We've eaten here a few times over the past couple of years and it's always a great experience. First class home made grub served by friendly and welcoming staff. We will be back! 👌🏻

Great food, great place and a great welcome - a truly great find just off the A55. Surroundings are gorgeous, car parking available, a real friendly welcome and the food was outstanding! They've managed to create a really spacious and relaxed feel to a bright...

Two seniors having come across country, and on their way to Llandudno stopped off for a light lunch. Pleasant welcome and a nice warm pub on a dull wet day. Somewhat quirky interior, a bit different, but very pleasant. We opted for the curry, which was homemade and very good, we could highly recommend.A pub we shall certainly stop at again.

What an improvement!! I vowed I’d never step foot back in that place after the disaster at Christmas 2017! £60 each and NO FOOD! Anyway my mum has a few times lately said “new people! Let’s try it!” So we did on Sunday, and what a Mahusive improvement!! Food perfect! My pate starter was lovely, I could of done with a smidge more bread only cow I enjoyed it! So I had the roast dinner! I had the beef, the Beef was lite, full of flavour, the veg was spot on and our roast potatoes were lite and fluffy and just right! My Yorkie pud was spot on so much so me and my mum nearly asked for another! we are not greedy honest!!! Anyway my mum had homemade strawberry cheese cake and it was lovely, you could smell the sweetness of the strawberries as they put it down. I had the homemade Apple crumble with cream, I am a pig and could of asked for a second!! Lol But instead I had a coffee. All in all the atmosphere has changed and it’s a lot lighter and nicer and you don’t worry about a chef coming out screaming, shouting and swearing!! The staff are so lovely and polite and smiles from the second we walked in even to helping me with it being dark on her way out! This is defo 1 I’ll be returning AND taking the fussy OH for a steak too! And with him being a farmer he is fussy BUT I know he’s enjoy it here! So thank you for a lovely meal, great atmosphere and such a lovely warm welcome! And YES we will be back! We are also looking at doing a family meal so we will be in touch! Lol xx

What a shame lovely pub with stunning views, ordered the 2 course off the festive menu. Prawn cocktail was just lettuce and prawns, no cucumber , tomato, or brown bread. The Christmas dinner was turkey parcel which was very dry, the roast was only new potatoes in the skins and hard sprouts little gravy and never asked did we want any sauces. Menu had very little to choose from.

Had the festive menu yesterday. A party of 9 of us. I ordered the prawn cocktail.. no brown bread and bitter and no cucumber or tomatoe garnish.. the Turkey was in a ball.. very very hard.. the sprots were like bullets.. the " roast potatoes " were not roast potatoes at all they were soggy tiny baby potatoes in their skin. The gravy was like dish water and I asked 5 times for cranberry sauce to no avail. No cutlery and they didn't even give my nephew his meal .. they forgot about it.. all in all it was the worst place we have eaten in a while and I would bebe return. We have been here before a few months ago and the food was delicious. This time it was a disaster from beginning to end. My sister ordered the cheesecake from the festive menu to be told that was for large Christmas party that was going on and she had to have another cheesecake.. we were also a big party. Poor service and food well below standard.

Last night's meal in the Brit was faultless. At the moment they are offering a Christmas menu with a good selection at a very reasonable price but I went for the specials which didn't disappoint.

I have visited the Britannia Inn 4 times now, twice mid week and twice for Sunday Lunch. The food and service are second to none. Lovely staff who can't do enough for you,nothing is too much trouble. Paul and Wendy are doing an amazing job since they took over as proprietors. I look forward to my next visit .

We have just visited the Britannia Inn Halkyn for our Xmas party. There were 34 of us and I recommend it highly. We’ve had previous parties with Martin and Rhiannon which have been enjoyable. However Wendy & Paul have taken over and if I said omg food to die for I would not be exaggerating.

Great Sunday lunch. Fresh hot snd scummy. There are great views across the river Dee. Warm and friendly staff.

My review is what I have eaten is lovely,and with the challenges they had pre opening (considering everything working beforehand) they are doing a great job.👍👏👏👏 x

Four of us had Sunday lunch here yesterday and it was excellent. Three had lamb and one had beef. The lamb just melted in the mouth and so did the beef. It was nice to individual trays of vegetables and the roast potatoes were fluffy. The desserts were just as good and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended.

We always visit this pub, just off the A55, on the way to north Wales. Always given a warm welcome and we have never had a bad meal. Good honest pub grub served with a smile. Proper home made chips.What more could you ask for?

Visited this Wednesday lovely warm atmosphere. We had a great meal and a gorgeous pud for me would highly recommend. We will be going back ASAP.

Amazing Sunday roast, beef so tender that it just melted in my mouth and roasties that were crisp and fluffy. Best dinner I’ve had in a long while.

Yet another trip to the Britannia inn . Wendy as usual was very welcoming and Emily is so good with our children . Tonight we had the chicken kebab and gammon and chips , food was exceptional we highly recommend.

First time at the Britannia Inn but it most certainly won't be the last! Confident to say I have just eaten the best fish and chips ever, from the friendly but professional service down to the welcoming, cozy surroundings and breathtaking views we found it difficult to leave!! Well done Wendy and Team.
