Crown and Liver in Flintshire

Fabulous bar, friendly staff, good bands on a Friday and great bar food.

Lovely Local in Ewloe, been coming in here off and on for years. Place is clean and well decorated with a fantastic beer garden out the back with booths. Great atmosphere regardless of time you come in especially the weekends and during the football. Max and the team are great and drinks are top quality served with a smile. I'd definitely recommend this place to others to come and visit.

Definitely a lovely pub, wish I had stayed longer. Stopped in while waiting for a lift and was thoroughly impressed. There was a good range of drinks on offer and the pub felt clean, bright and welcoming - will definitely visit again if in the area!

Was such a nice pub, great outdoor seating, and great music. Downside couldn't access the toilets for drugs being dealt despite security on the door. Had to leave.

Just a couple of quiet beers, mid afternoon, so no atmosphere to speak of but friendly staff & good beer,, 👍

A great night had as always, Really great atmosphere and all the staff are unbelievably friendly and welcoming! Great choice of beers and wines, live music every week, karaoke, sports and THE best quiz and quizmasters every Tuesday what more do you need!! 5 stars

Always have a cracking night at the crown and liver! If mid week they h e the best quiz around with Kev and Dean on a Tuesday a don a Friday on r mid week always a brilliant atmosphere with either Karaoke or a band! Summer, Linzi and Maxine are always accommodating and open to anything you ask for! The best staff around by far! I am coeliac and I do not tel many people as this can be awkward, however the bar staff are always helpful and sympathetic to my allergy!

Great night at the quiz! Really friendly welcome always by Summer and Linzi. Great selection of beers and great atmosphere.

Lovely food and the new owner very friendly and helpful. Will be back next time I, m down visiting my aunt

Many thanks to Lee for making me so welcome last night. I was staying locally and there was no beer at the hotel bar, just posh lagers and a token IPA. Also the Running Hare lacked any welcome or customer service, I really felt in the ay there, so I thought I'd have a wander. What a truly lovely find the Crown & Liverpool was! Also, as there was no food on that particular night, I was welcome to get something from the Pizziro over the road and enjoy it with my pint! Lee never stopped, cleaning, polishing, being great with the punters. It really was a lovely place to visit and, whenever I'm back this way with work, I'll be straight to the Crown and Liver. Thank you!!

Just stopped in for a drink after a walk on a sunny bank holiday. It was very busy and Charles behind the bar could not have been more helpful. Super friendly and went out of his way to help. I ended up ordering some nibbles to enjoy outside and he helped me figure out my table number and to save me queuing to get my pigs and blankets he asked the kitchen to fetch them out with the rest of our food. Well Done Charles you were under pressure of a busy day and it did not impact your friendly service!

Nice pub and dog friendly. The decorations inside and out are nice making a great atmosphere. Staff are lovely and the selection of drinks are very good. Not eaten there but it smells great!

Have come to the pub on alot of occasions on weekends and the entertainment, staff and atmosphere are alway spot on! Had a couple of Sunday dinners here now too and it does not disappoint! Would highly recommend.

Sunday Mother's day lunch with the family, thoroughly enjoyed it.xx Sorry hit the wrong button when posting, have now changed star rating.

Great pub. Best thing is the friendliness of the staff. Could do with a cask ale but the Guinness is very good. Excellent toilet facilities!

Roast dinners are spot on, great quality, excellent staff and cannot fault this pub at all. Be sure to book a table so you’re not disappointed. One of the best pubs around.

This pub is absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is always incredible, the team are wonderful and I would highly recommend. Can't wait to come and try the new food offering.

Went out for the steak deal with my husband, food amazing. Lovely and hot and very tasty. Will defo be returning! X

Always a warm welcome from Max and the bar staff. Great food thanks for looking after the lads after a great win.

Came here after football, service was really good and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend👍🏼

We live close to The Crown and Liver in Ewloe and have done for 30+ years. Only visited once before many years ago when the food was awful… so decided to try their Sunday lunch after seeing a post on FaceBook. So glad we did.. it was lovely. I had asked for a table out of the way as I am on chemo and that was sorted for us. The roast lunch was really nice.. we had a starter and a main course. Served by friendly staff.. the food was hot .. tasty and there was plenty of it. We will definitely be returning.. thank you.

Came here after football, took ages to serve food and when it came it was just chips and some bread. Nice dogs about though.

Went for Sunday lunch with my son and his girlfriend and the food there was very nice, staff really nice and friendly, have recommended to family and friends.

Had an absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch today. So glad they are serving food again. 😊Fabulous service from the amazing landlady and ladies/gents behind the bar! A warm welcome is always on hand and so glad this local is going from strength to strength. Thank you all.

Had awake here today for a family member. The landlady was fantastic couldn't do enough put on a lovely spread it was surperb delicious and plenty. We certainly will be back and recommend to family and friends. Thanks again to you and your wonderful staff.

Love this place a proper village pub.. yes mainly locals,we are from Liverpool but a warm welcome every time. Thanks for being a great pub xxx

Friendly welcome atmosphere good selection of food and drinks staff are very friendly and welcoming will come back next time I'm in the area

Very good selection of drinks, bar staff and land lady very friendly the cheapest and best pint I found whilst contracting over this way. Will be returning when we come back this way

Great pub but can I suggest you move bar stools from bar when busy,was a nuisance trying to get served last night,as 2 people sitting at bar.Bar staff were great though 👍

Lovely bar very plesant and cosy, we did go for lunch but unfortunatley it wasnt being served was it was New Years daybut we did stay and have a drink which was very enjoyable

Great local pub with friendly staff, always clean. Sport and great selection of drinks, draught and spirits.

Great place and friendly team. Had a lovely visit

Only went in for a pint . But clean tidy nice Guinness at couple TV's to watch sport

Lunch vert nice and dog welcome

I have visited the Crown and Liver multiple times now and it just gets better. Friendly and welcoming service and great wine! What’s not to love!

Myself and 5 friends visit the Crown and Liver every Tuesday night for the quiz! Fanatic every week, busy with a great friendly atmosphere that you don’t often get these days!! Facilities are really good, with a nice beer garden at the back for good weather and plenty of tables and seats in the bar and lounge area. We also go for drinks on a Friday or Saturday where there is always either karaoke or a band playing, which is always good!!! One of the few busy pubs left in the area, and definitely my favourite one!!!! Bar staff are ace, they bend over backwards for what ever you ask for, nothing is too much trouble, always polite and make you feel welcome!

Ladies toilets and disabled toilets were both out of order. Expected the ladies to use a cubicle in the men’s toilets. No toilet roll. The place needs a major overhaul. Won’t return.

We were staying at St Davids Park Hotel for the weekend, to which, we had a wonderful stay. A local in the hotel bar, recommended the Glynne Arms for food and so we headed to the Glynne Arms, where we had a lovely bite to eat. On our walk back to the hotel, we popped into the Crown and Liver for a drink and wish we had never of even bothered. The service at the bar was abysmal and kind of embarrassing/awkward! The place overall looked tired and dirty. The toilets were dirty and the toilet roll had run out. The whole place seemed to be full of drunks and it wasn't even late on. It was really noisy, for the time of day. A middle aged lady with long blonde hair, I would place in her fifties, who was serving behind the bar, was dressed in fancy dress, which I must add, was most inappropriate for her age, showing way, way too much cleavage, with another younger lady, with long dark brown hair, who was much the same. It wasn't attractive at all. There were young children in the pub at the time. This is certainly not the attire for any pub, which is welcoming small children. For the Management to allow this, it is rather distasteful. We will most definitely, be skipping this pub on our return next year and will head straight to the Glynne Arms and will perhaps try the Fox and Grapes pub too.

Been here a few times recently with work colleagues after a long day and have always been made to feel welcome. Bar snacks were great and the staff go above and beyond. We shall return

Visited before my hen do with friends. Lovely bar food,cocktails and prosecco set us up for the day ahead. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Visited with friends before my hen party night out, we ate lunch from the bar snacks menu and had some lovely cocktails and prosecco. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. So nice to see dogs allowed. Definitely a great local and set us up perfect to start the day. Thanks team crown.

Been here few weekends in row now Great atmosphere great live music and great staff

This pub used to be in the good pub guide. Now it wouldn't even get in the best pubs in Ewloe guide. Why they have stopped selling cask ales is beyond me. At least 6 people turned around and left because no food either. I won't be visiting them again.

Great place to sit and have a drink ,probably a meal with family . Very good service . Very friendly with a great atmosphere.. recommended

Popped in for drinks and the smell was terrible. They have a clear issue with the drains. The pub appeared to be quite tired. There are far better pubs in the vicinity to spend your time and money.

We contacted the landlord Maxine to help us to co-host our sons birthday party along with a gaming van we had hired with another company, and she was so accommodating, friendly and helpful from start to finish. Her and the staff went the extra mile on the day, bringing out jugs of juice for the kids throughout, prioritising our party and checking we had everything we needed. We specially requested pizzas and nuggets and chips for the kids party food - which they promptly said was no problem at all even though these weren’t included on their main menu - and the food was served bang on the time we requested - really good portions too! All the kids and parents commented on how good the party was and what a lovely atmosphere it was, and the beer garden at the back is a fab size and really nicely done out too so with the nice weather we spent a lot of time out there! We even tried to leave a tip as we were leaving but Maxine refused to accept it - which was obviously really kind but we felt bad about it as the service was amazing! Anyone wanting to arrange an event I would absolutely recommend the Crown & Liver, really lovely local and such a friendly warming atmosphere! Loads of evening entertainment too that we need to get back and enjoy without the kids!

Well what can I say….Maxine and the crew were fantastic. I felt welcome from the minute I walked in. The staff were attentive and friendly and made me feel like one of the locals. I was impressed with the menu and opted for the pie. As a part time chef I consider myself a bit of a pie snob and I can tell you it did not disappoint. Can’t recommend this place enough, I’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely a great place! Staff are amazing, the atmosphere is fantastic, such a friendly and welcoming place to come realx and enjoy an evening. Great food, fast service highly recommended.

Just had a cheese and bacon burger on the Thursday burger night menu. Absolutely gorgeous, best burger I've had in ages. Well done... bring on more food! 👍😁

The crown and Liver is an important part of the local community it has good parking facilities at the rear and an excellent selection of drinks and food always best to call to ensure there are spaces available There is also a covered outside area

Only had a drink, but beautifully renovated.

Enjoyed a last minute Saturday treat watching live music (The Beat Pilots) in a friendly atmosphere.

Stumbled across this Pub and I'm so glad we went in, very warm welcome by the bar staff, excellent vibe as we came in. We came in originally wanting food and found a cozy spot to dine, Adam who served us was also the chef and adapted the menu to suit my wife who is Gluten Free, food was absolutely amazing so much so we had no room for dessert but had a couple of drinks. Would recommend checking them out and we will be back again in the future.

Amazing pub and wonderful staff. Great acts on every weekend, definitely the place to go.

Just went for drinks friendly staff and good atmosphere

Fabulous service . Delicious and fare priced food . Lovely beer garden !!! Ample parking .

Lovely bar staff very relaxing pub. Just need to play Tele or music not both at same time!!

I went in for a quick drink Friday evening and ended up staying the night due to the live entertainment and amazing and warm staff I will definitely be coming again and will be recommending to all my friends and family

Nice decor friendly staff, we whe Christmas eve lunch time and the food was poor 😢

Good atmosphere. Had a lovely evening.

Mixed experience ordered Hunters chicken and fish and chips but no peas and salad. Hunters Chicken was really good but the fish was dreadful. Not only was it the smallest piece it was only a quarter of a piece of fish in batter broken off a d over done. The waitress offered to knock some money off the bill and apolgised as it was all they had left. It would have been ice to have been told. The staff were great it was a shame that this one thing gave such a bad experience. The meals are value for money normally I'm told.

Lovely atmosphere, helpful staff and wonderful food too

Great night in a really pleasant pub

Lovely pub unset new management. Excellent food, friendly service.

Great food good value for money and proper chips. Beers good footballs on 👍

Great service, lovely welcoming owner

Great Friday night of amazing entertainment with Brother's in Harm's

Called into this place on the off chance and what a gem we both had the roast and it was brilliant and all freshly cooked. Also the place was spotless

Waited an hour for food, one poor girl working bar and serving food during a busy evening. Multiple items not available and you only find out when ordering. Most of the menu is different variations of chicken. Owners clearly don't care for customer experience, avoid.

Hot, fresh, reasonably priced, incredible tasting food, drinks good price too, great ambience!

Fantastic food and drinks, lovely bar staff 😊🍷🍺

Very good. Had a delicious meal here. Place was spotless inside. Will definitely be going again at some time.

The Crown has had a a new design. It looks much better than it did.

Very disappointing. Food was awful, I mean it was really bad. My partner ordered a ciabatta sandwich, that arrived not toasted or had butter. I ordered the loaded fries, that arrived with not real cheese but American slices on top. Everything was covered in balsamic vinegar (I think that was to try and distract attention from how pitiful the food looked, but ended up making it worse 🤣). That, coupled with very poor customer service from a waiter that liked to spend most of the day on an electronic device. The chef was more interested in filling his own face and acting laddish around the kitchen, it took nearly thirty minutes to make these "meals". Needless to say, we will not be returning for food to this establishment, considering the cost £13 without drinks. However, this place is certainly worthy of an appearance on a TV program where Gordon Ramsey is the host, you know, the one that he does makeovers and calls the staff delusional. From me, The Crown and Liver is a big "woooops"!

Had a lovely Sunday dinner here last week. All well cooked and presented . Girl who served us was very attentive and pleasant

Great atmosphere food and service

It would have been easier to say what they actually had, rather than what they had run out of. The poor bar girl was drowning between serving drinks during a football match, taking food orders, and serving all the food. When the food came it was fairly mediocre, and the deserts were straight out of a pack, and not worth the calories (which is the measure of a good dessert). I'd give this a miss for food, and pop in for a pint instead.

It was really great to be there, good beer n tasty food.

Visit this pub when we visit the good ladies dad in Hawarden. New landlord is doing a great job, beer garden is fantastic

It's a great transformation, great atmosphere Honest pub food and drinks, all very reasonably priced

AWFUL !!!Got here today monday 21st of march . Time 3.30 pm asked if they served food ? YES WE DO AT 4PM ! so at 4.15 asked for menus for 3 of us . 👨‍🍳 chef not here yet ! Left at 530

Very nice Sunday roast - 1, 2 or 3 different meats- great idea. Big portions! Good service.

Improved dramatically since the last time I was there. Nice pub, service good, toilets clean, decoration up to date and adequate seating. Well done.

Brilliant food, freshly cooked, friendly service in comfortable surroundings. What more could you ask 😊

Went to the pub for quiz night after not being there for a long time covid etc..fab night out ...deffo go again

had asked over and fairly new owners, have live band sometimes at weekends, bingo and quiz nights , staff very good not treid the food but the menu looks okay too

Went to lunch for the first time under new management. Had a great time and will certainly go again.

Good relaxed atmosphere. Good food and beer

Just had a drink in the crown and liver waited 40 minutes and still didn't turn up went to the bar ask the staff and looked at me as if I didn't exist. Woeful service think the manager needs word

Renovation ok service needs to Improve dramatically

Under new ownership and fully refurbished. The pub has never looked so good.

Shocking service bad atmosphere wouldn’t waste your time! Owner is a bore used to be a good pub killed the atmosphere

Great food and lovely friendly staff we will definitely be going there again for a meal. Lovely pub food

Best pub for miles. Very accommodating. We went in thinking we'd have a meal but soon realised that Monday is a night they don't usually serve food. Nevertheless the landlord soon changed his mind about that and offered us a menu. The fish and chips were excellent. A decent pint of Wainwrights to go with it.

Just dropped in onthe off chance that they were serving meals fabulous food and at a good price.Janet very accomodating. Thank you Mel and Jeanette

Food and service excellent, noisy group of men in the bar a lot of bad language spoilt the atmosphere as we had grandchildren with us

Went for a meal last night, food was average, my fish was dry and heavily battered, chips were disappointing ( didn’t eat them) peas were fragments in lots of water( didn’t eat them) everyone else in our party had burgers and seemed ok, we asked for the dessert menu but the staff never came back for the order, again disappointing, the drinks kept flowing when you could get eye contact with the staff, certainly wouldn’t visit again or recommend

Food and drink good and hospitality very good too.

Very friendly and accommodating, reasonably priced meals and drinks. We had the 3 x starters (£15) and we did enjoy them and average sized portions. The loaded chips had plently of peppers (various) onions, cheese etc much better than many places where we have seen them. Enlcosed outer garden. We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and some of their regulars.

I visited this pub on 18 July 2021 . My review is on trip advisor if you want the full details . Basically I ordered a meal for my sons birthday . Made to pay prior to meal . Then given 30 mins eat it . Told we couldn't have a dessert or drinks as the landlord who was away had suddenly told his staff to close at 7pm!!!! By the sound of it the staff had been asked to stay longer but already had childcare commitments etc ... The landlords response to my review was that his staff should have informed us prior to ordering . Not sure how , when they didn't know . How embarrassing !!! Really felt bad that the staff had been left in such an awful position and take alI the **** from customers . I can't pop on for a refund as live 50 miles away !!!! ITS YOUR PUB STOP BLAMING OTHERS .
