Corn Mill in Denbighshire

The Corn Mill is a fantastic pub/restaurant in a beautiful setting, right in the heart of Llangollen. We had our evening meal there three times during our holiday week, each time the food was superb. The service was excellent and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to go back.

Lovely pub sitting next the the river beautiful views lovely to just sit and watch the river flow by . You need to see the sights so don't take my word do see for your self

Fabulous viewing terrace over the river Dee

Great restaurant situated in beautiful spot. Fantastic food quality and great service. Recommend

Helen was absolutely fantastic. Brilliant hospitality, beautiful place. Thank you very much!

Before I say anything else, regardless of my rating, I'd encourage people to try the Corn Mill because the food I thought was really nice, the building is in a lovely spot, great atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. I'm sorry to say though, the service was OK-at best-for our group of 4 booking at 7pm on the 8th March. It was busy initially when we arrived but had quietened down within the hour. Despite that, long delays between courses and a long wait for drinks. 3 drinks orders were wrong, 1 cold starters, several side orders missing after 30 minutes or so of receiving mains. We were on an upper floor; felt as if we'd been forgotten or were the last on their list to serve. I don't see how we could've been the last booking of the night either. I'd book it again though as I really hope it's just a one-off with the service.

Love coming here when passing through Llangollen - loads of choice on the menu, service today was superb, and the place itself has a stunning view of the river and railway.

Visited recently with friends for Sunday roast. The building itself is lovely, with multiple floors and plenty of seating and views of the river. The food is great and staff friendly. Constructive feedback: If you’ve not been before it’s not quite clear on where you’re supposed to go (we just ended up going to the bar, then the bar upstairs) and seemingly no matter where you do go you seem to be in someone’s way! Service also seemed fairly slow, the place is obviously very large so semi expected but be wary if you’re particularly hungry or want a quick bite.

Went for a Sunday roast. Would have been 5 star for everything as the Sunday roast was extremely good. Unfortunately we had a very long delay before being served, and not really kept informed.

The CornMill is in a great spot right on the river. Booked Sunday lunch, we arrived ahead of schedule but there was no drama in getting us to our table early. A great table for 2 by a window overlooking the river. Shoulder of Lamb was lovely as were the Brownie and Apple Crumble puddings, all served quickly and with a smile. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and I would certainly return and recommend. Thanks Corn Mill !

What a beautiful setting to feel like you're on the river. We arrived in good time and we were greeted by friendly staff. We were seated at our table in good time. Once we ordered our food, we waited, and we waited. It became too long a wait. It became uncomfortable as we all wanted to eat. When our food eventually arrived, it was tasty enough, but unfortunately, the wait was so long that a few of us didn't enjoy the offerings as we would've otherwise. We decided not to go back

Bit pricy , but where isn't these days

Service was very slow and the food was average at best. The soup was warm and the smoked mackrell salad was OK, but the lettuce was about 3 days old. The location was fabulous.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was nothing short of delightful. Our French waitress was lovely and had funny jokes, adding a personal touch to the experience with her friendly and attentive service. ensured we were well taken care of throughout our meal. And the food? Simply amazing. Each dish was crafted with care and bursting with flavor, leaving me eager for the next bite. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy a meal in a relaxed yet refined setting. I'll definitely be returning!

What a fabulous experience! We booked on line about 10 minutes before arriving and the place was packed! But you really didn't feel it. Bartender gave us two gin and tonic to enjoy overlooking the water while we waited briefly for our table. The meal was excellent. Discovered Skink Soup (delish) and they did a great lamb shank.

Amazing food! Superb atmosphere! Immense view! Staff are really helpful

Good food, but busy….probably because the food is good

Historic pub on the river Dee, popular with both tourists and locals. Several levels and outside space right on the river. Servers gourmet food made with quality ingredients, and has a lengthy wine list and several real ales on offer.

Beautiful food with great views

Most excellent pub by the river Dee, great food, good ale, friendly staff and very cozy atmosphere.

A proper pub plus a great restaurant. The pub part is in the old Mill, very atmospheric with friendly staff and excellent beers. The restaurant part looks out over the river and dishes up some wonderful food. So great for a pint or a full blown meal. Perfect.

An atmospheric gastro pub by the river. For a change we both picked the same mains, a wild boar & pork pie. I very much enjoyed it. The service was very quick. We followed this up with a delicious bread & butter pudding. These were washed down with Welsh beer.

Lovely food and beautiful views. Staff very attentive to my food intolerance (thankyou) The only downside was a limited wine list and very sugary wine

Beautiful food in a lovely setting.

Very busy pub on a saturday night but the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed

Cauliflower soup was amazing. Belly pork starter was beautiful. Roast beef dinner very nice but wld have been better with thicker tastier gravy. Staff very helpful, polite and attentive. Definitely recommend

Lovely pub by the river with fantastic outdoor decking platform over the river. Dog friendly. Just had coffee and hot chocolate but nicely presented with a cheeky flapjack. Food others were having looked great. Staff friendly and service quick even though very busy on half term weekend.

A riverside restaurant with nice food and atmosphere

Fantastic. Lovely river views. Hidden away in a little street just to the right after crossing the bridge

Server was fantastic with our little one. Food came at a good speed. Food was lovley. There was no complaints from us

A visit to the “Corn Mill” was recommended to us in the travel guide and in the hotel. I was worried that it might be a “tourist trap”. On the contrary… I can thoroughly recommend a visit! The service is quick and very friendly! First we wanted to order 2 side salads. Luckily the waiter pointed out to us that the portion was very large. At this point, thank you again! Results in a large selection of beers, including regional ones. The food was very tasty. For example, we had a shoulder of lamb and fish and chips. The comb was very delicate. The breading of the fish was particularly crispy! In addition, the restaurant is in a great location, right on the river. The atmosphere is terrific. The building used to be an old mill! All in all, we can only recommend a visit!

Food - service - drink , all very good Thank you

Fantastic evening at The Cornmill last night. Lovely, friendly and welcoming staff and absolutely amazing food. Quite a brilliant find! Thanks to everyone, we will be back in the future.

Lovely pub great views amazing food great atmosphere all in all can’t fault the corn mill

A steak burger in the Corn Mill used to be something special. I haven’t been for a while but when we visited this weekend I ordered my old favourite but this time when it arrive I was greeted with an average looking burger and a plate of chunky chips. No coldslaw, no salad on the burger. The burger its self tasted better than it looked but not like they used to and the chips were definitely not fresh and reheated at least once. The deserts were fine but we won’t be rushing back. Food seemed substandard compared to meals there in the past. Shame.

Lovely pub with great food. Staff very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow which let's it down. Definitely not a place to go if you are pushed for time. But if you have time to linger, pay it a visit

We got the table that we requested overlooking the River Dee which was flowing quite strongly. Despite being, still, winter the views over luncheon were amazing with lots of nature activity and was very romantic. The food served was good with varied menu and the service was good also with a smile. I would recommend this great venue but would suggest you book to get the table that you require. There is, also, outside seating for during the summer

Beautiful spot by the river and super friendly atmosphere, lovely old school furniture, possible to book a table online

My new fav pub. Food here is exceptional. Duck Confit is perfectly done. Chef knows their stuff. Pre-book to guarantee table, although we were seated without booking, on a busy Saturday. Decent Ales/ Porter / Cider on tap. Nice outside area to enjoy the rapids below.

Excellent food and very good service. Several locals spent time chatting to us which was lovely. Dog friendly pub.

"I rarely leave reviews, but our experience at this restaurant was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. My fiancé and I waited 45 minutes for our food, and when it arrived, the only item that was hot was a burger. Everything else, including my fiancé's meal and the fries, was cold. We also had a poor experience with dessert — the service was just as bad. To make matters worse, they offered us an £8 discount due to their mistakes, but when I paid £50 for a £48 bill, they didn't even bother to return the £2 change. If £2 mattered enough for them to discount the meal, why didn't it matter to them to return it? This was truly the worst dining experience we've had, and I would not recommend this place to anyone." This version is clear, professional, and concise while still expressing your frustration. Let me know if you need any changes!

Great service, amazing food and lovely surroundings. Very easy online booking process. Great it’s a dog friendly pub but struggled to hear our conversation at times because of high pitched barking/ yapping. On a very positive note, the Malaysian curry was fantastic! 👏🏻

Always a lovely meal at The Cornmill, a great stop off for lunch after a fabulous walk up to Castell Dinas Bran.

Used to be our favourite restaurant and it’s sentimental to us. It’s where we had our first date. But the last few times we’ve been it has been awful. Food hasn’t been very warm. Even when the restaurant is pretty empty, you get sat in a tiny space right up against the wall. Spend about £90 every which is too expensive for a lacklustre meal. I’d recommend going somewhere else until they fix whatever issues they’re having.

Great fish and chips, nice place overall and super nice staff!

Always lovely whenever we go in!! Staff are so welcoming and the drink and food are great quality! 10/10 Sunday Roasts

I saw this Pub from the bridge when visiting Llangollen recently and thought I had to go and see inside. When we got there, I needed to have a little look outside from the balcony, and WOW..the views were incredible! Inside the pub felt clean and tidy and we were welcomed by any colleague that saw us. We ordered drinks at the bar and went to our table. The only negative of this whole visit was the cleanliness of the Guinness glass.. Now onto the food, we wanted some light bites and the menu had excellent options. The food came out in good time and was beautiful…and I mean all of it! In summary, excellent food, awesome service, warm, friendly atmosphere. Would I visit again..? Absolutely! If you are visiting, get yourself in there and enjoy the smile on your face at the end 😁

Just popped in to break up a journey. I've not been before. The building is lovely and it's bang on the river. You get to watch people battling the rapids in canoes as you relax at a table. I ended up having a couple of absolutely delicious real ales. The staff were lovely. It was quite busy food-wise. I'm guessing booking a table might be a plan especially in season

Friendly staff. Quick service. Flat bread was beautiful. Stunning views

The Corn Mill is brilliantly situated right alongside the River Dee at Llangollen, close to the bridge. The interior is mainly wood in keeping with the original use of the building as, yes, an actual corn mill. On the day of our January midweek visit, the river was fast and high so quite noisy. The staff are pleasant, helpful and the food was good. I can recommend the light bite Open Smoked Salmon sandwich, served with a generous amount of dressed leaves and crisps. A no nonsense coffee added to my pleasure. I hope to return on a balmy summer's day to take advantage of the extensive outside deck area above the river.

A romantic early evening dinner, lovely table . views, warm,,,nice welcome,,long long wait for dinner,,, My lamb dinner was chewy, was expecting a lamb bone, but the white bone was set adrivift in a sea of lamb scrags, Patronising sever with assured me it was not a ready meal,,,I have had better, This is a tourist trap, passing themselves as a restaurant,,.

Called at the Corn Mill for lunch having pre booked a table in a mobility friendly area, which the staff were very helpful with. We had a really nice meal, it was fairly busy but the staff were very helpful. Fabulous position on the banks of the River Dee

Beautiful pub and views over the river. Highly recommend

Great food and lovely service.

Always a pleasure to visit definitely a place to go back too

When wanting a treat out, this is still our favourite place, food is always delicious, and menu regularly changes, keeping it fresh and lovley to try different dishes, I tend to have the pies, chicken and tarragon was my favourite, but all delicious, hot waffle is super scummy if you can fit it in. Staff fantastic as well.

Went for my 50th, stunning little place, very beautiful views, and original wheel, which wasn't able to see as I'm disabled. very up and down levels, we had to go in round the back as too many stairs. I gave the food 1 * as I informed the waitress that the BUTTERMILK CHICKEN WAS VERY SPICY and I couldn't eat it. She went and told the chef, I asked what he said, and she said he didn't say anything. NO, sorry, or anything, and it's not mentioned on the menu. my son, who was looking forward to going as he's is a chef, said he would have said sorry at least, so basically everyone had a lovely meal apart from myself and son girlfriend who had and said the same went home hungry. NO DISCOUNT OR OFFER OF ALTERNATIVE, OR APOLOGY, YAY, thanks. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me. unfortunately, we will be going somewhere else that gives a white, we spent £300 + SHAME REALLY as my family of 6 spent a lot of money there. More fool us.

Enjoyed a new year's eve meal at The Corn Mill Llangollen . Busy night with both drinkers and diners but felt like we were special by the staff . Some wonderful finishes to make our experience special . Both my wife and myself highly recommend and will return .

We called in for lunch, we didn’t have a booking but they found us a table. The food was lovely, very fresh and lots of choice. The bar area is very cosy and we had a lovely table over looking the water. The staff were also lovely, there was a lady who had worked there for years who was so attentive and came to chat with us, we had a lovely time here and it’s definitely worth a visit if you are in Llangollen but don’t forget to book as it’s always so busy

My favorite restaurant in Wales. The decor upstairs feels like you’re dining in a cottage. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive. I had the best Boeuf Bourguignon, but I believe they called it something else. Intense, rich flavor where the suggested house red paired nicely. Highly recommend! And the location can’t be beat. A nice walk along the river after dinner made for a perfect evening.

Very poor NYE. Starters took over an hour to come. Mains took an hour and fifteen. Zero atmosphere, lights were really bright and no background music. Real feel of the team there just trying to get to the end of the Christmas period. Food was reasonable

Food not as good as it used to be in past

Beautiful setting by the river and lovely historic decor. The menu was great and cooked to perfection. Service was the icing in the cake. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent food, great service, lovely location

Very disappointed as I was looking forward to eating here. We booked a table at 730 arrived on time and were promptly seated. We ordered our food and got a glass of still water and a small bottle of sparkling. That's the last we saw of anyone. Sat there for over 59 minutes. Not a single person came to see how we were doing, did we need anything or offer any explanation. Absolutely no sign of a manager at any point. Stopped at the bar to pay £2.50 for the sparkling water and left. Oh well. I can understand if they are busy with large groups, parties or whatever. I wasn't too impressed with being completely ignored for nearly an hour.

We only called in for a drink on this occasion. The atmosphere was very Chrismasey and lovely and warm inside. Stunning location right on and over the river Dee

Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. We really enjoyed the tasty food 😋

This is our second year we've enjoyed a Christmas Eve meal here. We had the most wonderful table with delicious food, the staff & service was fabulous & our waitress was very polite & friendly...couldn't have been more helpful. Absolutely love it here!

The best river view in Llangollen.

Lovely tasty meal,thoroughly recommended.

Amazing food, great prices… not much more to say.

Great beer choices & meals. The lamb shoulder was particularly good.

Super nice place to eat and drink and watch the kayakers take on the challenge of town falls!

I visited you on the 6th of December. Fantastic food. High quality staff with very friendly approach. It's not my first visit. I'm looking forward to pop in again very soon 😀

Absolutely 5* food, service, atmosphere. 100% worth it

10 out of 10 for food,staff and price.Great view fresh and tasty food friendly staff-will recomended to anyone!!!

A beautiful pub, great food, nice stuff. We especially enjoyed cauliflower and cheddar soup, but mains were very nice too. Generous portions. The views of the river Dee from inside are beautiful. Service was great. Would recommend and hope to come again!

Lovely salmon sandwich and chips, just what was needed after a 4 mile winter walk. Friendly service and a cosy atmosphere - thanks!

Warm & cosy for winter & outdoor balcony for summer The corn mill has it all Nice cask Ale for Dads & selection of Spirits & wine for mum soft drinks for the kids Food is amazing too I had rump steak pepper sauce Portobello mushrooms & chips Wifey had turkey lunch We both enjoyed our meals my steak was cooked perfectly to my taste The service was brilliant as we changed our seating moving tables for a quiet spot with a view. Very good service great friendly staff Highly recommend popping in

We booked 2 months in advance for 7pm, when the confirmation came through it was for 7.45. We got there and were shown to our tables in by a friendly waitress. She came and took our drinks order, and eventually took our food order. We then waited over an hour for our food, chasing twice to see when we would be served. When the food eventually arrived it was really nice, but it was now 9.15pm. The staff did apologise and gave us a free round of drinks but this level of service wasn't really what we were expecting.

The food we got was excellent but unfortunately it took forever to come and then they forgot the starters so we just had mains which was disappointing get it sorted conmill you used to be so on point

Review: A Hidden Gem by the River Nestled on the banks of a fast-flowing river, this gastropub is a delightful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment you walk in, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home, setting the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The menu offers an impressive selection of classic English dishes, perfectly executed with a creative twist. Whether you're craving hearty pies, tender roast meats, or a beautifully cooked fish and chips, there’s something here to satisfy every palate. The portions are generous, and the quality speaks for itself, making it well worth the visit. The atmosphere is another standout feature. For those seeking a romantic evening, there are cozy nooks with soft lighting that feel intimate and serene. At the same time, the pub also caters to larger groups with open, lively spaces perfect for celebrations or gatherings. The sound of the river rushing by just outside adds a unique and calming backdrop to the experience. Overall, this gastropub combines excellent food, warm hospitality, and a picturesque setting to create an unforgettable dining experience. It’s the perfect spot for a date night, a family dinner, or even a casual catch-up with friends. Highly recommended!

Located in an old Corn Mill overlooking the falls, this is quirky and atmospheric

Was not happy with the quality of the cask beer I sampled

As always, a wonderful atmosphere and wonderful food.

Lovely pub beside the river Dee.

Great place and lovely food, would advice to book a table as it can be busy spot.. Views over the river

Absolutely wonderful. Beautifully restored building. Cosy and welcoming. Friendly attentive staff, really felt above and beyond expectations. Food and drinks were speedy and delicious. Really could have given it 10 stars!

Restaurant was decent, however, would not recommend this town to tourists. We paid to park all day in the county lot and yet they have been trying to extort us for a false parking citation ever since. Would recommend going to any other town with less petty and extortionate government bureaucrats.

Fantastic. AMAZING food. The chefs clearly know and love what they're doing. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We tweaked the menu slightly, and nothing was too much trouble. NETTE, the hostess, is worth her weight in gold. What a star. We loved it so much we booked the same table for the day after. Thank you from Hayley, Lei, Nige and Allan and the two golden doodles 🙌

Great restaurant, great food and fantastic service

Great atmosphere with a good choice of beers. Excellent location.

Visited The Corn Mill on the 11th of November, and we had a fantastic dining experience. My wife and I both opted for the Chicken Coq au Vin pie, which was absolutely delicious—comforting, rich, and full of flavor. We followed up with the Biscoff cheesecake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish, creamy with just the right amount of crunch and Biscoff flavor. The ambiance of The Corn Mill added to the experience, with its historic charm and views over the river. The staff were excellent, incredibly attentive, and made us feel very welcome. All in all, a memorable meal and a lovely evening out. We’d highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Llangollen!

Fantastic Sunday lunch with lovely staff, took our doggy and separate doggy section with water bowls at each table, highly recommend

Stunning pub by the river and the decks are such a novelty to tourists! Unfortunately due to not having a booking we weren't served food but we did enjoy a lovely drink by the scenery. 💯 Recommend!

Great food and great staff. Will be back again.

Fantastic food heaven, we had a three course meal and everything was cooked well and tasted delicious. I had a shoulder of lamb and the meat was so tender I could eat every bit. Very good value for money.

We came here for a nice Sunday evening meal but we found it lacking. The staff were great, friendly and accommodating. We were sat down quickly. We ordered our main courses and then waited. And waited. When the food came, my wife really enjoyed her seabass. My roast beef was nice but the Yorkshire pudding was so dry and overcooked it tasted more like a prawn cracker. The potatos was so hard they were inedible. We would’ve stayed and had desert and more drinks, but by the end of the meal we just decided to go home.

Excellent Sunday toast overlooking the river. Really wonderful place, ok service, and good food. I recommend arriving early for lunch or making a reservation

Fantastic location, food and service! Highly recommend the steak sandwich!
