Very disappointed with the Sunday lunch. All looked amazing on the plate but the roast lamb was tough and was accompanied with uncooked vegetables, far too al dente and the plate of food was not served hot enough. I ordered a glass of red wine which should have been included in the price but I was charged for. I should have stopped there but unfortunately I ordered a sherry trifle for dessert, which was nothing more than tasteless wet mushy sponge. Awful! will not return or recommend.

This would have received an excellent rating except for an inconsistency I experienced, the food is excellent - great quality but being a creature of habit I had the same main dish on two weekends - the Steak burger - Not cheap but well worth the cost on the 1st week. I received two patties stacked and they were delicious. the next weekend my burger arrived with only one patty, i enquired why it differed & was told there had been supply issues - fair enough I thought they will adjust the price but no & getting a member of staff's attention was a challenge so we just left it but it has put me off a return visit

We have recently moved to the area from Chester and was looking forward to our first meal out in our new local. I must say it was cheaper for a meal out in Chester than on the edge of Llay?! Very overpriced, a bottle of standard prosecco £32 - no chance. Food I must say was very nice, good size portions, great presentation however again the prices are just too much & the menu limited. Bottomless brunch £35 - again, just way too ambitious. The staff were great and tentative but even though the experience was overall very good, it just isn't worth visiting on a regular occasion due to the prices and I'll be heading over to Rossett or Chester.

My partner and I visited the Croes Howell this evening and the food was amazing. The sea bass was beautifully cooked and the sauce was delicious,my partner thoroughly enjoyed his Rib-Eye steak(he's a self acclaimed steak connoisseur). The manager (Meno) is very professional and welcoming. The service from the waitresses was excellent. The venue is beautifully decorated with amazing views! Would definitely recommend a visit!

Visited for Sunday lunch, the meat and veggie mains were both just right, dessert spot on as well. The only improvement I’d suggest would be to offer a mini pud with a hot drink as a dessert alternative. Service was great and perfectly timed, very clean in the restaurant. All round very good value and a thoroughly pleasant lunch

We went to the Cross Howell for my daughter's birthday as we thought it would be a change from our normal restaurants in Chester. We had viewed the menu on the internet but when we arrived it was very different which was the first disappointment, when were ordering drinks I asked for a pint of bitter but they did not have any only Lager,they offered me some wheat beer which I like but when the girl came to pour it it had run out.We ordered our food, 3 of us had fish and chips for our main course, the fish went down in size from acceptable to just slightly bigger than a fish finger. My wife ordered gammon steak with a fried duck egg ,when it came it was minus the duck egg and her chips were different to our other 3 meals. Overall the quality of the food was average at best and overpriced as we're. the drinks. The 2 girls doing the serving were very good we could not fault them, it's a shame about the rest as the place it self is very nice

Absolutely disgusting.. the staff do not have a clue and the food shown it was not just front of house staff.. from the moment we walked in it was a total mess.. the woman greeted us with hands full of cutlery and menus.. which is always a worrying welcome if they are greeting like that.. once we got to outr table after apparently we did not book !! The words that got said .. we was placed on a wobbly table so I asked could we move and got told there was no other table for us when the restaurant was empty… we just got to the point at this point we did not no weather to leave or stay .. but we stayed .. the food was ok at best .. but very slow coming out as it took 40 minutes for a started then 1 hour for our main after the starter was cleared … we did not stick around for dessert.. the reason I have given 5 /5 is because I give everyone a second chance .. we will be back in the future to see if it’s got better

We visited the Croes Howell yesterday for lunch and it was amazing. Lovely atmosphere even though it was a quiet time. They have a new menu with all the classics available and more and it was one of the nicest meals we've had in Wrexham for a long time. We are total foodies so eat out a lot but usually venture out of the area. The salt and pepper chicken wings were something else and the flat iron steak was melt in your mouth!! My husband had the biggest pie I've ever seen and it was gorgeous. The service was incredible and the staff couldnt do enough for us whilst we were there, thank you Debbie! We will definitely be returning very soon, thank you the Croes Howell for a truly lovely experience and meal!!

I haven't been to Croes Howell in quite a while but this visit for my daughter-in-laws baby shower was a pleasure from start to finish. The staff were all polite and friendly the venue itself is clean,light and airy and the views over Cheshire are breathtaking The afternoon tea we were served was top quality. Plenty of delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones,tea and coffee. Good value as well. The restaurant was serving late lunch so there were customers enjoying meals.I must say they both looked and smelled amazing. I'm already looking forward to returning to sample the food on the menu .

Very disappointed, we were a group of 15 for a special occasion Sunday lunch. We had to pre order our starters and main meals a few days before we visited. On arrival first impressions were great.We had one young waitress to bring out the food, some people had finished before others had their food, we asked for various sauces to go with the roasts and were told we had to wait until all the food had been given out, by the time the mint sauce was brought out the meal had been finished. Some parts of the food were.very salty, one of the roasts was so small and missing some items we had to ask had they given a children's meal by mistake. Time for the desserts, again what a shambles, we enquired what flavour the cheesecake was and told strawberry, when it arrived it was vanilla with a few berries on top. One person asked for mint choc chip ice-cream, when it arrived it was chocolate with lots of pieces of fresh mint and the stalks chopped in it.We choose the venue as it was for a very special occasion, extremely disappointed and would not recommend or visit again.

My friend and I stopped at the Croes Howell on the off chance we could get lunch. Luckily it was early and it was not yet busy.We ordered the Hake and chips which was delightful. The batter was thin and crispy and the chips were fat crisp and soft in the middle. The meal came with tartare sauce which I am not sure was home made and mushy peas of course! I would heartily recommend both the restaurant which has had some alterations and the meal we had. The view across Wrexham and beyond is very pleasing from the dining room.The menu was fairly large and we were informed that it was a new menu. We didn’t have wine but the choice looked good.The staff were more than helpful and very accommodating. This is well worth a visit and very competive pricing.

We ate at a buffet hired for a private function. The quality of the food was outstanding and the care and attention paid to presenting an inviting array of delicious food was obvious as we watched the trays of food being set up. We had the vegan selection which included three different gourmet sandwiches, sausage rolls and the lightest fluffiest cheesecake with chocolate batons and plates of flapjack. Best buffet award from us!!! The welcome, the quality of the food and the relaxed but courteous service were all much appreciated and helped the function to go smoothly and enjoyably. We would DEFINITELY recommend this place to others.

Six friends were looking forward to lunch - we thoroughly enjoyed our company together , but the food was very disappointing.The menu offered at table was minimal , completely different from the extensive example online.The soup was accompanied by a tiny triangle of crusty bread and a pat of butter that was larger than the bread itself. Two of us had the vegetable Thai curry which was a very small portion, but could be with chicken or prawns, for an extra £3. The chicken was a few tiny pieces of chicken, and one of our group's choice of a prawn curry came with exactly 3 prawns. That was £1 per ordinary sized prawn!! The kebab dish consisted of two little sticks of 3 tiny chicken bits and a couple of pepper slices. The 2 pieces of pitta bread were almost uneatable, like white leather!Whether this was an unusually bad day or not, the restaurant needs to up its game if it is to attract those who expect a high standard of food and value for money.

I’ve been here twice recently, and both times, the service, food and staff have been second to none. Meno (sorry if I spelt it wrong!) the Manager, couldn’t do enough for us, and both times, the person whose birthday it was had a free drink. Maddie, one of the waitresses was amazing , even finding me a charger when my phone died, so I could keep taking photos. The other staff were great too, i just don’t have their names. The atmosphere was fab and the terrace has amazing views. You made our celebration more special, thanks so much, we will be there again soon!

We visited as a family of four for Sunday dinner. Three of us had a Sunday roast. I had the veggie option of nut roast with mine. When it came it looked great. But the nut roast was stone cold in the middle. It was sent back and another plate was given to me, again the nut roast was cold in the centre. I was offered a third attempt but I was hungry and my family were half way through their food so I declined. The other roast’s meat was poor. We sent back the beef that was just gristle, wouldn’t have given that to our dog! The chicken was very dry and the pork extremely fatty. The veggies and Yorkshires were good. Everything was severely over priced. The atmosphere was poor due to teenage staff standing around chatting, not knowing answers to any of our questions. We don’t mind paying for great food and service - this place offered neither. We won’t be going back.

Visited this afternoon for some tapas, which sounded lovely on the menu however when it turned up (circa 1 hour after ordering) wasn’t great. Chicken wings listed as bourbon glazed, were dry wings with a jam/chutney on the top - not glazed. Have visited the CH several times in the past hopefully a one off, as we are due to move to the new estate on the straight mile shortly.

Went for the Sunday Lunch as it was hot we sat outside. Ordered a mojito cocktail very sour bitter taste lacked sugar not a good drink at all !! Our lunch came Luke warm all the ingredients piled on top of each other no presentation at all. Meat not from joins no crackling on pork beef tough turkey tasted processed from a vacuum pack . Roast potatoes under cooked parsnips soggy not roasted properly Yorkshire pudding flat as a pancake. Gravy tasted instant granules no meat flavour All in all terrible not worth the money a frozen meal would have had more flavour. They advertise that the meat is from welsh farmers and the potatoes are super crisp all I can say is that was not the experience we got !!!! We will not be going back not worth the money there are much better places for Sunday Lunch.

I started with a coffee, it was like drinking the bottom of an ash tray Waited half hour for starter which was poor. Average sausages drenched in an super intense onion relish, it just didn’t go at all. Then had to wait an hour and quarter for our mains! The Sunday lunch was nice when it finally came but it was a small portion, and nearly cold. The lady gave us our meals for free in the end but I still would not recommended it Disappointed as it was my first visit snd heard a lot about the place in the past

Smart, modern decor and lovely open views - an excellent venue for a summer's evening. Food was very good and very pleasantly served. The fruit crumbles were delicious, as were the whitebait starters. Good beer too.The menu pricing needs more clarity - the set lunch menu was difficult to separate, price wise, from the main a la carte. The descriptions of "small plates" and their cost were somewhat confusing! A very enjoyable meal nevertheless.

Place was empty but we soon found out why when our food arrived. Place looks tidy on the outside, enticing hard working locals to come in and pay for poo. I would have been better throwing £43.25 in their dirty toilet. We had a roast, veg was undercooked, they ran out of beef (we were one of two tables) I had the chicken, it was dry and the red cabbage resembled what can only be described as poo it also tasted like it, frozen yorkshire too. I could have gone to Aldi paid £6.70 for everything and made a better chicken dinner myself. This is karma for being so lazy. This was most certainly not a winner winner! The manager needs a new job he’d make more money painting houses from the looks of the outside, he needs a lesson from old Gorden I think. Unfortunately I don’t know Gordon Ramsey personally but if anyone reading this does please tell him to go to the Croes Howell and save the place, I shouldn’t describe the manager as a “‘manager” I’d describe him as the tumor that is destroying what could be a lovely establishment.

From our perspective, the restaurant wasn't over-crowded and we noticed that the manager circulated throughout to ensure that everyone was happy.

The service at the Croes Howell yesterday for Christmas lunch was awful. The table was booked for 12:30pm and the waiter tried to serve our starters at 12:30pm before our whole party had turned up. I said can we please wait for the others to arrive first. The three family members we were waiting for turned up only 10 mins late at 12:40pm so then I called the waitress over and said it was okay to bring out the starters now but we then had to wait 45 mins for the starters to come out again. After the starter plates were cleared we then had to wait approx an hour before the mains turned up! After desert i had to ask the waitress myself for our coffee/teas/mince pies. We were then told at 3pm that the table was booked out again at 3:30pm and we had to be gone by then! Maybe if our food was served in a more timely manner we would have not felt rushed to go. The sprouts were so hard you couldn’t get your fork through them, my niece had veg missing off her plate so I had to call the waitress over again and the coffees were cold. This was a very poor experience for Christmas Day and we will never book here again.

I booked 18 of us for Boxing day lunch 2019. Preordered food menu over a week before and paid a deposit. It took 40mins before starter came out. Some of us who weren't having starters waited over an hour for the main. Spaghetti hadn't been delivered so my daughter ended up with pasta and Broccoli replaced the asparagus promised for the rissoto dish. We only knew this after they'd served the food infront of us. Desert was 2 hours after arriving. 3 of the party had to leave before having dessert.

We didn't have to wait too long and the food was definitely worth it.

A selection of different roasts were ordered of which the portions were very generous, all the food piping hot and thoroughly tasty. Friendly and informative service throughout the meal. Good quality wines at very reasonable prices. A great afternoon with quality family time.

Visited today to celebrate daughter getting her degree. Food was lovely - three young children had starters, main and puds and ate the lot! (Very unusual) - and adults also had two or three courses all of which were a success. But it was the service and attention to detail that made it such a lovely afternoon. The manager and her side kick are soooo very friendly and really do want everyone to have a good experience - Including the children.

There were 16 of us to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary, and we couldn't have chosen anywhere better to do it. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the drinks too. The environment is welcoming as are the staff. It really is a lovely place to eat!

We took our Grandchildren out to our favourite restaurant... The Croes Howell... They've just had a beautiful and tasteful refurb! We were able to browse the new Autumn menu whilst having a drink at the bar and enjoying the company of Meno (the utterly delightful Restaurant Manager). The menu offered a wonderful selection and it was so difficult to chose!! Our chosen dishes were absolutely divine and every mouthful was savoured! I cannot recommend the Croes Howell enough! All staff are knowledgeable of the menu and able to advise of dietary requirements. It is a lovely warm and welcoming venue suitable for all ages. From a light lunch to planning your wedding/ event... They can accommodate your every need! Love this place! (also a stunning apartment upstairs if you need to stay over)

We’re staying locally and really liked the look of the restaurant and it’s fantastic views from the terrace. We booked for dinner and loved the friendly atmosphere, great bar and attentive staff. The menu was really appealing and both our starters and main courses were excellent and we had a fantastic night, will definitely return

We had 6 dishes from the tapas menu and they were all gorgeous as well as being well-presented. We also had the Shiraz which was very good. The service was excellent: attentive without being intrusive. I would definitely return and would recommend this restaurant.

Booked a table for 7.30 last night arrived on time but nobody at the bar or to show us to our table.We had to wait a few minutes and then we asked a member of staff about our booking we were then shown to a table (not reserved). Firstly the menu is not as advertised on their web site so we had to order off the new menu. I had the chicken which was basically a tough chicken breast on new potatoes with mushroom sauce and 2 very small sprigs of broccoli - very poor value for money.We were reluctant to order a dessert but decided to anyway.key lime cheese cake arrived - loose crumbed biscuit on a plate topped with a dollop of under set cheese cake mix with a freeze dried slice of lime. I always choose cheese cake as this is my favourite dessert and have never seen anything like this. The good points were the two members of serving staff were cheerful and helpful.

This special occasion was absolutely fabulous. The staff were wonderful - they made the place look beautiful for my 45 guests and couldn't do enough to ensure the night ran smoothly. All 3 courses came out on time, tasted beautiful and pleased all guests. Fabulous service from start to finish. Loved every minute. So so impressed. Thankyou so much Croes Howell! It was perfect.

We went there a few years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal so decided to go there again as a family for Sunday lunch. I ordered the chicken and it was extremely dry and flavourless. I was unable to complain directly as I was my in-laws so did not want to make them feel uncomfortable.

We went along to the Croes Howell last night, following a recent refurbishment. From the helpfulness on the phone while booking a table to the frendliness of the staff once we were there, it was lovely. Cory, the assistant manager stood out particularly. The food was lovely (I went for the fish and chips. Huge piece of fish; excellent) and the cheese board was spot on. The chef apologised for there being no grapes, so offered more cheese, or crackers or alternative fruit. I thought that that gesture was perfect.

Nice setting and a bit out of the way so it is very peaceful. The food was brilliant although the halloumi burger I tried was very spicy which wasn’t expected, however aside for this it was wonderful and the goats cheese especially was beyond delicious! I’d recommend the tapas style foods as they were brilliant and perfect size to mix and match.

Sadly just returned home from yet another fantastic stay in the apartment above the restaurant and counting the days till we go back. I can't praise it enough, the food is out of this world thanks to Kat, the head chef, our waiter Meno can't do enough for you, all the staff are just amazing. The owners children arranged a surprise 75th birthday party for their Dad who has recently been recovering from ill health and wow they did him proud with fabulous food, service and topped the night off with a beautiful fire work display. Cant thank you enough for a truly wonderful weekend. See you all very soon

Food is lovely. Well presented, fresh and cooked to perfection. Been two nights on the run as the mango and chicken salad is top class. Partner had one of there home cooked beef burgers yesterday and their fish and chips today. Plates cleared each time. Staff really helpful friendly and polite. Quality service in a clean fresh environment with some beautiful Scenery. If your in the area I highly recommend a visit for some quality food and top service.

Another lovely meal at the Croes Howell. Nice small plates mean you can build your own tapas. Such a wide choice of fish, meat, pasta dishes. Something to suit every taste, and all presented wonderfully. Beautiful desserts too. Service and staff as usual are very friendly and attentive. Cannot fault this place which apparently has been open 9 years now !! Good luck with the refurbishment & look forward to seeing the revamp when it's finished. Thanks again !!

What a fantastic night. Our leaving meal before our adventure out of the country to start a new life. Welcomed by supervisor Cory. What’s a pleasant, welcoming young man. Delivered excellent service throughout. Attentive to all our requirements and understanding at the same time. Fantastic chefs, providing exquisite food. Peri Peri Chicken, moist and succulent, Pork Medallions to die for, and baked hake a soft and flaky as you could ask for. Credit to both Cory and the Chefs for an amazing experience. Continue the good work.

Our first visit, rather disappointing. 2 of the 4 of us had mussels as a starter, only 10 mussels between us, 4 of which were closed. We did mention this and nothing was said at the time or later!! The other 2 said their mains were poor! Serving staff were young, lacking in people skills and clearly need more training.

I booked the venue for afternoon tea for around 64 adults & 22 children to celebrate my little boys naming day. I asked upon booking if any discount could be applied as I was booking for so many & was told they could deduct £2 per head for adults but nothing for the children (at the time of booking, it was £12.50 per adult & £6.50 per child but the adult fee has since doubled!). I then visited for lunch & seen a flyer stating that if you book a celebration there, certain things can be offered so I enquired and was told that we would receive 12 bottles of prosecco for our guests which was of course a nice gesture but not something that I had specifically requested.

Was recommended the newly created cocktail of the day which absolutely lovely, we had a 3 course meal from their extensive A La Carter menu, we would highly recommend the sharing platter from the grill, and also the chocolate and strawberry tart. This is a great location with stunning views, service with a smile. Would highly recommend and would be sure to visit again

Fabulous menu of Welsh fayre. The torched Anglesey Mackerel was so tasty. I never really rave over mackerel but this was exceptional. The Welsh cheese board was also good,Perl Las being my favourite. It was beautifully presented and each course came with a different welsh gin. Aber Falls orange marmalade gin to go with the chocolate pudding was inspired. Looking forward to the next speciality evening.

Large table booked with family and it was just horrendous. I waited just under two hours for my starter, along with a few others. Some received theirs after 1.5 hours, but sent dishes back, e.g. duck hash, which was horrible and tough, served with a hard poached egg.
