Cross Foxes in Wrexham

Super good service, food...everything was perfect

Really nice vibe, food was very nice. The staff were friendly

Amazing pub on the bridge. Great views down the river from the restaurant. Nice choice of food. Well presented and delicious. Portions large.

Lovely pub/restaurant with wonderful views of the bridge and the river. Nice selection on lunch menu, daily specials and main menu. We shared the halloumi wrap which was good and the dressing was delicious and the meatball ciabatta from the specials board. The meatballs were soft and juicy and the sauce was rich and tasty. Raspberry ripple ice was nice I've had.

Went as a group of 8 and had a great time. Food was good and service was very prompt not having to wait long for the food to arrive. Cask ales at less than £3 a pint on a Monday evening was the icing on the cake! Highly recommended.

Nice cosy pub, food a little under seasoned and they could offer sauces or stick them on the table

Sunday Lunch. On our way back from a weekend in Harlech, we came across the Cross Foxes - what a find! We called in not really expecting to get a table as the car park was full- a good sign ! Anyway the staff went out of there way to get a table for us, they were so attentive we could not have wished for better service, and the meal was really,really good, although it is around 40 miles from home we will definitely be going back it was that good ! Thank you for everything highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

Great food in a beautiful setting. Lovely staff and dog friendly

Bloody gorgeous food Lovely service polite staff, every thing about the place ,got talking with some people Atmosphere wonderful. ❤️

Fabulous evening spent in a gorgeously cosy atmosphere with lovely food and welcoming staff to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was a lovely treat and the vegan lasagne was full of flavour and piping hot. My daughter said her food, especially the churros were delicious. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! 🥂

The food was great, can't say about the atmosphere as we were in very early at 4:30 so we were the only ones in However it was a lovely experience with lovely views over the water

We ate here last night as a table of four. The fish pie was amazing, very tasty and came with a lovely soft bread. The fish cakes on the specials board were also very tasty and everything was served lovely and hot too. I can recommend the sticky toffee pudding and the raspberry creme brulee....delicious. Staff were very pleasant, efficient and nothing was too much bother, Overall a lovely spot to eat with a lovely outside seating area too. Can recommend and next time we are visiting, we will certainly book again, thanks

Great Sunday afternoon meal with family. Service was a little slow but the food and the atmosphere were great.

Lovely staff, easy parking, really tasty food which was reasonably priced considering the quality, good sized plates.

Some of the best pub food we have ever experienced

Slow service and food not good. I have never been served bread with a fish pie before and really couldn’t see the point, in fact many of the dishes appeared to have bread served with them and having had bread with my starter didn’t feel I could eat any more. The young ladies serving were very pleasant but I wasn’t confident had I made a complaint it would have been dealt with effectively and that is by no means being disrespectful to them. I have visited this pub on previous occasions and it has always been packed, not today however. Very disappointing.

I really like the Cross Foxes, it was good under brunning and price. But it's even better now, in addition to the classic British pub menu, there is an excellent lunch menu which includes a delicious southern fried chicken wrap! The outside seating offers a beautiful view of the river too 😁

It was lovely! That's the first time we have been since changed hands and we really enjoyed it. Staff were really friendly, and food was up to our expectations. We will return on our way back from Wales 😊

This is the first time I have been back to the Cross Foxes since it changed hands. I paid £17 for a fish pie and it contained very little fish - it was mainly mashed potatoes and a huge ciabatta bread. I won’t be coming back sorry.

Bit of a 'panic' when we arrived for lunch today, as I phoned last Sunday to book in a table for 10, for a special birthday... but, it wasn't in the diary!! ...however, it was sorted out quickly and without fuss, and we were seated overlooking the river as requested. Staff are lovely, very attentive, and the food was very good too. Recommend.

Wonderful meal in such a lovely setting . Very good value for money and very happy staff working there . Could not fault anything about all our meals.

I visited The Cross Foxes on the off chance for something to eat. Even though we hadn't booked, they made us welcome. There was a little wait, but I was advised beforehand. Good food, drink, and present staff Turned outvoted have been a good choice.

Had heard good things about here, tbh very disappointed. Had the tomato soup to start, very salty! Had the braised beef for mains, again salty. Very noisy and the smell of cigarette smoke was coming into the restaurant section from outside. Won't be returning.

nice food will be going back 😋

Was okay. Went for a evening meal with friends and family. The restaurant smelled of stale smoke. The service was good and the staff were very attentive and polite. Food was a bit salty but wasn't bad. Not the best meal I've had but also not the worst. The atmosphere was far too loud and far too many dogs. They shouldn't be in a pub.

Not been to this pub since it changed hands and we weren't disappointed. Had a Sunday lunch of beef and belly pork and it was delicious and reasonably priced given the lovely setting.Loved the fact you could add a starter or dessert to a main for a reduced price of five pounds.Also a five pound coffee and cake option.For once I felt we were getting something that felt like a treat without ridiculous prices.Staff were pleasant and attentive in spite of a very busy service. We sat on the patio with fabulous views of the river Dee.Will definitely be back.

Such a stunning location. Great staff and very tasty food

Absolutely gorgeous place, roast was great other than they don't have carrots or peas on it so had to order extra as that's my daughters favourite. We were a big group with a good amount of loud young kids and they were so accommodating, thank you for putting up with us! From Liverpool mums x

Lovely pub and staff, the food is top notch, had the steak and ale pie, chips and veg everything cooked well and not shy with the portions, will be going back again. 👍

Loved it, friendly staff, will go again..

Lovely summer's day... No really, it actually was! We sat outside with the dogs under the shade of an umbrella. Within a few minutes of sitting down we were asked if we wanted drinks and the menus followed swiftly after. A lovely menu with traditional and more 'modern' food available. It's always nice when you're umming and arring between a few choices. We settled for the beef daube and cajun chicken burger and we weren't disappointed! Excellent attentive but not intrusive service and kept the dogs topped up with water throughout.

Went to this pub last weekend whilst enjoying a lovely weekend away with my partner. The food was absolutely amazing as was the service. Nothing like the run of the mill pubs around Wrexham. Highly recommended xx

Went for a meal with wife,it's her birthday, starter amazing, main shocking more fat than meat I've learnt from this now never go forca meal there again until they replace the chef

Just had a pint in passing. Lost a lot of atmosphere

Food lvly -staff lvly -beautiful views

Busy Friday evening so the kitchen was backed up a bit. Absolutely fine. Service was friendly and the location is beautiful. The food however was a real let down. The fish and chips were definitely frozen and cooked in the oven, not a fryer. Tasted the same as the breaded basa fillets you get from any supermarket. The chicken in the Caesar salad tasted and looked as though it came out of a can or prepackaged. Definitely wasn't a grilled piece of chicken. I'd recommend this restaurant for drinks, but not the food.

Excellent food with a lovely view

Cosy little pub with super friendly and attentive staff.

Went for dinner at the Cross Foxes as I saw online they had some good sounding vegan options. My husband and I both had three course which were all lovely, the risotto was amazing and my husband really enjoyed the vegan lasagne. We were served by a young lady who was very attentive and friendly. Food was ready really quickly and they served good portions sizes. Lovely view over the river, the waitress allowed us to choose the best table to look out on it.

Lunch here, outside overlooking the river and well looked after. Had food from the Lunchtime menu and it was lovely .. definitely will be returning

We visited the Cross Foxes for the first time on my 80th birthday. The whole experience was fantastic. Superb food and welcoming and pleasant staff. It was a first visit but it certainly won't be the last

Fairly typical pub food. Steak pie was ok. Chips were not good, thin, and hard to pick up with the fork.. Fish pie was a bit odd. Served in a soup bowl with mashed potato in the middle. Once you cut into the potato, it turned into a soup. Crumble is not the best. Filling had the texture of jam. All in all a bit disappointing.

Last minute booking for a late afternoon Sunday lunch,friendly staff,food was lovely,we had the beef and pork roast, followed by the crumble and spotted duck,both meals were well presented and very tasty,the crumble was better than mine,but I forgive you😄 Just knocked a star off for slightly slow service from waiting staff,our request to see dessert menu was forgotten and we had to ask again,change of shift time maybe as a lot of huddling around the till,but it didn't detract from our positive experience, we will be back soon.

Myself and my wife have been regulars of the Cross Foxes for many years being locals and the food, atmosphere and service have always been first class. We have not visited for over a year due to my wife's illness so we thought that we would visit a few of our old favourites. What an absolute crying shame. The foxes looks like it is under new management and they have totally destroyed the country pub feel that the foxes had into now a burger and beer joint with loud TV and music and I noticed that none of the usual locals were in there. If you are visiting the area and you want a lovely country pub to dine and relax in, avoid the cross foxes as it's now more like your typical town pub that you might find in Wrexham centre. The Boat at Erbistock is quite close to the foxes and has it all, amazing location on the river, beautiful food relaxing atmosphere and best of all NO TV ! Quite sad at how new management can destroy a pub and I have laid a £50 bet with god that the foxes will have new management again when the existing management start losing money as they have got this so wrong. Tip - Once you have the locals to a pub avoiding a pub, that's the downturn. >>> as expected after meeting the new owners, I am called a liar in the same condescending manner as they reply on all of their social media. And please do not compare yourselves with the Boat as we mentioned how the cross foxes has gone downhill and they agreed with one staff member saying that the foxes has been turned into a drinkers pub and 'downmarket'. If you want to appeal to the type of customer who wants "pub grub for the masses", TV for the lads and your average estate family on a trip out, good luck with that, but I would rather experience the "class" of the Boat. Whoever is writing your answers on social media and google needs to learn how to engage with customers. When you are gone, the locals will be back ! Estimation from looking how you lowered the tone of the Foxes, about a year at best.

We have eaten here many times over the past 6 years or so. It’s a lovely building and setting with excellent staff. The food won’t set the foodie world alight but is reliable, above-average pub food. I usually order the crème brulée and it has shrunk a bit lately. The pecan brownie we had yesterday, though brown, was completely tasteless as if no butter, pecans or indeed chocolate had been used to make it. Nevertheless, we will be back.

Please don’t order the prawn sandwich, it’s just terrible - no sauce, dry bread and soggy fries - sit on the bridge with one from M&S!

Lovely setting , food, and service ok. Sat outside, but found glass on the patio. So had to move tables. Had dogs with me. Parasols kept blowing over as bases not effective. As empty of water or sand. Ended up using our feet. Every table seemed t have the same problem. Wasn't condusive for a comfortable meal.

Beautiful setting. Sat outside for early evening meal. Staff were attentive, service quick, and food was great

What a lovely place. This is a hidden gem that will pull us back again and again. We called past for lunch and after a quick look at the menu, it was clear that the food in this restaurant is rare and special and we were not disappointed. The lunch menu was delicious and well made with talent and care. The staff were friendly and helpful and the environment was stunning. It was nice to meet the chef/owner and get a chance to thank him for the food. We will definitely come back. (We were going to pick off the main menu but we're a little scared off by the prices.)

Found Cross Foxes by chance on our way home. We were amazed by the beautiful setting. Lovely outside seating and view of the river. Staff were very attentive and welcoming. Delicious meal. Wish we could of stayed longer. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

We went on a busy Saturday but could not fault the service. All 3 of our party had lovely meals and were very satisfied- " best steak pie ever ". We will definitely return.

Steak Ciabatta was very good. Nice ambiance in the Conservative with great views.

Food great and service love it highly recommend and the best part is they now sell Thatchers cider what's not to like love the place x

Came here for dinner. Husband had a steak and I had fish pie. All food was cooked perfectly and we really enjoyed our meal. Waiting on staff all lovely.

Now under new ownership, prices are lower but the food is very basic . Staff are friendly , bit slow service , but otherwise fine ,

Called in on the off chance with our dog at lunchtime on Sunday and managed to find a table outside with a lovely view of the river. The food arrived quite quickly and was really well presented. Everything tasted amazing, the pork was delicious, and there was a good selection of vegetables, mash and roast potatoes. (Crumble was good too!) All of the serving staff outside were quite young and we were struck by how friendly, polite, attentive and professional they all were. They deserve a massive pat on the back.

My friend and I meet here every so often for lunch. Since it returned to Marstons from Brunning and Price, it has thankfully kept its cosy feel, good food and excellent service. Miss the Brunning and Price small pudding and coffee though!

The view over the river from the garden is incredible. The food and service was good.

Food was excellent and very friendly staff

Wonderful choice of food, really friendly staff, especially Amy E, so attentive and friendly. Lovely setting by the river Dee. We will definitely be back.

I was looking for somewhere for a late lunch following my sons graduation ceremony in Wrexham and found this delightful pub on Trip Advisor. What a wonderful place serving food all day, which is sometimes rare mid week. The menu satisfied all our different tastes and all meals were cooked perfectly. The location and surrounding scenery was beautiful, what a fabulous place

A lovely place to eat outside. Great food, fantastic service.

Didn't eat, but what a beautiful spot, the menu looked good. We will return to dine sometime shortly.

Just had fish and chips, shocking taste of fat.they decided not to charge me for the meal but I need to go and eat something else now, Spolit my day off with the wife

The place was amazing. The scenery gorgeous. The food, delicious. The service, so polite. Would definitely recommend it

What a spot! Absolutely beautiful location, staff were ace! Samantha was particularly excellent. I shall come again!

Nice place, 👍 location. Friendly staff. Dogs allowed 🐶

Food, wine, atmosphere and service great. Friendly welcome too. Definitely would recommend.

First visit to the Cross Foxes stopped for lunch on the way to holiday cottage service & food excellent all served piping hot . Pre booked table overlooking river Dee lovely setting

Just had an amazing lunch. First time we have dined here. We will definitely be back.

Exceptionally good food! Great choice to choose from on the menu and very polite and well mannered service.

Had a lovely lunch here with my family, great views over the lower Dee Valley, nice cosy pub atmosphere and great food. Parking was no bother too.

Found this lovely pub after searching for a dog friendly pub in the area. It was very dog friendly with plenty of room between tables. We went on the Saturday and were that impressed with the quality produce and that the food was lovely and hot that we booked to go back for the Sunday lunch. Sunday lunch did not disappoint and we couldn’t resist the homemade apple and berry crumble which was delicious 😋

Outstanding food and service. Would highly recommed this place. stunning views of the river.Will definitely be returning. 😊

Great shame that Marstons have ripped the cosy, quirky character out of this pub. On the plus side they have improved the outside river seating immensely....just advert your eyes as you walk through the bland interior to experience the lovely outside area

Really excellent food. Some thought has gone into flavour combinations. Polite attentive staff

Two young ladies running the show. Where excellent. Friendly and efficient. Perfect. Food very good. Proper pie. Not the usual bit of pastry as a lid. Think some staff still training but trying hard. Nice atmosphere. Looking forward to return visit.

Amazing food, service, ambience today. We are booked to stay 300 yards away over Easter. Will be visiting constantly! Also sat outside overlooking the river ….. stunning!

Lovely ambience and we were very well served by the staff on the two occasions we visited. The food is excellent too. Cannot recommend this establishment highly enough!

I haven't been here since Marston's Brewery took it back from Brunning & Price so was really keen to see what changes, if any, had been made. A little disappointed in the menu. Not so ambitious but opted for the salt and pepper spare ribs for starter. Tasty but a little on the oily side. I went for the scampi main course. Served piping hot and a very good sized portion of scampi. I had a half of the Banks's dark beer, to try, 3.5ABV is plenty strong enough if I'm driving. Unfortunately the waiting staff didn't enquire if I wanted the other half or something else so I didn't bother. The biggest plus for this pub is the location so will look forward to returning in warmer weather to enjoy the views of the 'River Dee' from the terrace.

Food portions extremely small for the price that is charged. The black pudding stack consisted of 2 thin pieces of black pudding a piece of bacon and some peppercorn sauce. The portion of the steak pie wasn’t much better. Portions do not justify the prices charged.

Really disappointed. Thai red curry didn't resemble a Thai curry at all. The sauce was very watery with a chilli taste and had no coconut milk or richness about it. It was like it had come out of a shop bought jar and watered down. The burger and chips were just that with no salad or anything else on the plate. The plate looked empty and bland. The olives and sun-dried tomato starter was missing the sun-dried tomato element. We were so disappointed as there was only one other couple in the dining area when in the past the pub dining has been busy and thriving. The music was loud and not quite the type of music to have playing in a restaurant. Unfortunately the cross foxes used to have a place in our hearts, however we will not be going back. We did leave a tip for the waitresses who were attentive as was the lady behind the bar.

First visit since taken over! Will definitely return! Staff absolutely amazing!

My favourite place to eat, food always excellent and good size portions and amazing views.

I used to go regularly when I lived in the area. Called in when passing, and the Pub is not a good as it used to be.

Staff ok food poor made me ill dogs in bar ànd restaurant been going there many years bit no more

Lovely staff nice meal reasonably priced great location

Went for a meal on New Years Eve, the food was excellent and the service outstanding. Will definitely go back for another meal.

Very welcoming and attentive waiting staff. No rush to order or leave the table even though they were busy. We were a group of four and all had a different main and pudding. Everyone was happy with their food.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening having a Christmas family catch-up. Having had a couple of visits since reopening I didn’t hesitate to choose Cross Foxes as our venue. Although the place was busy the service on our table of 11 was excellent 😍

We came for an evening meal and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The food was prepared and plated with thought. Plenty of drink selection, they also accept dogs anywhere in the building. We didn’t have to only sit in one area. The service was attentive and thoughtful which made our time here most enjoyable. We will definitely be going back in the very near future. Thank you for a great evening.

Lunch with dear friends at one of our favourite venues and all was good.

Lovely food & atmosphere. Very cosy with the log fire. Dog friendly, The location by the river is very peaceful and relaxing. The experience was enjoyed by all the family including our dogs 🐕

Cold pub with a cold welcome. Used to love this one, not sure what happened.

Friendly staff and lovely location overlooking the river. Cosy fire too.

This was always a favourite pub when it was a Brunning and Price pub and we wondered how it would be under the Martin Brothers. Well, it was excellent! Food was superb and beer fine. It had a lunch menu as well as a main menu which is great if you don't want to be too full on a walking day. Good friendly service as well. Location as splendid as ever on the mighty river Dee.

Lovely place. Had a Sunday lunch and it was delicious. 😊

We dropped in for lunch, immaculate throughout and food was served quickly as we were short for time. Would definitely call again.

Friendly service, decent food fairly priced, just made me feel like I would like to go back

Amazing location historic posh pub overlooking the river Dee. Brilliant young service team. Great lunchtime meal and dog friendly. pricey but will come back.
