Drovers Arms in Flintshire

Another pub with a trouble past, recent and long standing. You can tell the team here are trying but the challenge here might be too much. They serve a decent pint but we didn't try the food. Recent reviews put us off completely. Polite hardworking staff. The parking situation here has caused much controversy. Not PR at its best.

Disgusting landlord with absolutely no hospitality in him. Speaks down in a derogatory manner to women and charges people £1.20 for tap water. Would not recommend, used to be a lovely local to drink in but then got taken over by this abysmal human being

Friendly owners and delicious food

Good value food, great friendly service

DONT GO YOU WITH YOUR CAR YOU WILL GET A FINE FOR PARKING

Horrible food , went for sunday lunch . Ran out of beef even though it was only 12.15 and only one other couple there .Offered roast chicken instead which came after about 40 mins . The chicken was in chunks and clearly defrosted and microwaved ( took it home to my dogs ) veg , overcooked and roast potatoes tasted like they were cooked in old fat . Dirty seats and floor . More atmosphere on the moon ! Such a disappointment. It used to be good homecooked food and always did a fab Sunday roast but not any more . There needs to be a lot more effort if you want to continue . Won't be going back despite the 'loyalty card' ......

Horrible ! Early lunch 12.15 . Only one other couple there . After ordering roast beef , told beef was finished . Ordered alternative of roast chicken . After waiting nearly 45 mins chicken came . Lumps of chicken clearly microwaved . Inedible .....roast potatoes tasted of old chip fat . Veg appeared microwaved and was bland and overcooked. Other couple also were not impressed and left their food . The Drovers used to serve good home cooked food but if this is what's on offer after the takeover , we won't be back . Wish you well but you need to pull your socks up . Oh and great idea to offer a loyalty card ....8 meals there and you get a free one ...erm , think we will pass !

Went the drovers for the first time in a long time and ordered some food we had the napkin burger and some chicken strips all really fresh and homemade and the food was absolutely delicious would highly recommend to anyone thanks to al and Marion for the delicious food and great service

First time today for dinner there on way back from Ruthin. We did order chicken wings, mixed grill and pie. My steak pie was not that bad but gravy wasn’ t good… chicken wings was was ok in taste but not freshly cooked… my partner mixed grill was DISGUSTING. Stinky, smelly undercook meat gamon and steak , chicken impossible to bite.. horrible old meat. Place also need good clean including toilets.. never again🤮 . We did ask for refund for mixed grill but received only half refund- do not know why coz my partner did not eat nothing from that plate… AVOID coz you can be poisoned

I’ve visited The Drovers Arms/Al’s Smokehouse for food over the past few weeks with my partner. The food gets even better each time. I’d most definitely recommend the 6hour smoked ribs which are full of flavour and the nicest I’ve had! The homemade burgers are also top quality and good value for money. Thanks alot Al, we’ll be back again soon! 🍽️

Went there for food and they just decided to stop serving it, so no food available. Shame! Went elsewhere.

Stopped in as a Brit stop with camper van, great welcome, good food and a safe overnight carpark. Thanks 👍

Nice cosy pub, good food good landlord. Nice local pub.. Good size car park to meet family and friends..

Popped in for a pint and meal.. Had the ribs.. Simply delicious. Will Definitely be coming back to try other menu items

We had a fantastic meal at the Drovers tonight. The steak I had was huge, tender and so juicy. The staff were very friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere there. Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks Aaron and Marian

Couple of mates have been here for food and been ill of it bu to that’s not why in writing. Received worse service ive ever had in a pub. Meant to be ‘family friendly” i got squared upto by some meat head for letting my child bounce white ball off cushions on pool table. He got held back by his mate as he looked like he was going to hit me, literally did nothing wrong. Row broke out, feeling threatened we left, walked down the road abit then i went back(thought it was a horrible way to be talked to) when back in the owner said he wouldn’t serve me and im banned for disrespecting staff and speaking to them horribly. Which never happen. Apparently there was a pool tournament going on. More lies me and my mrs were playing pool against another couple. Thought they be nice to the basically only customers in there. Everyones got a right attitude in there and it has atmosphere of a morgue. Chef seen drinking on shift, looks like he dosent give one. Reckon eho would have a field day here. Got potential this pub but not with theses owners. Never felt the need to leave a bad review before but then never had an experience this bad

Booked for 9 of us for Mother’s Day. Had an amazing meal. Beef was really tender, the best I’ve had for a very long time. Plenty of meat, veg and potatoes. Thankyou Joyce and staff we had a really nice Mother’s Day with Jean,Paul,Bekii,Allan, Ollie,Oakley and Wyn. Would highly recommend the Sunday dinner at the Drovers. Xx😋

Joyce and team served about 20 of us food.. Tasty food.. everyone enjoyed their meals

Gorgeous Sunday roast! Firm favourite with the family! Great prices, fabulous service, lovely little pub! Highly recommended!! We'll be back again soon! 😁🙌🏼

Good food and excellent value.Had Drovers burger with chips and salad.Good portions.

Lovely owner welcoming and friendly lete park my truck there for a few day no charge was told the Sunday dinners are amazing but had to leave on the Friday but would love to go back and see for my self big thank you to the owner appreciate it

A real gem of a place. Offered all the qualities of a cosy, small village pub, with absolutely phenomenal food. I told the chef it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and I meant it! Very quiet inside, made for a lovely impromptu stop off on our van trip.

Looks a bit run down from outside but inside is great, clean, Friendly and foods fantastic.

Popped in to grab some lunch. There were a few in eating. I was served a lovely chicken supreme, with a whole breast of chicken, chips and peas, in a fantastic creamy sauce. I could have had vegetables with it too, but I wouldn't have been able to eat it all. Lovely lunch and great value.

Hands down the flattest pint I have ever had, the beer was undrinkable, one sip was enough to make me feel sick, I can't comment on the food as I didn't have any, the pub seemed very clicky, 3 people at the bar and the moment you walk through the door you are stared at, tried to stay positive at £3.35 a pint but when the drink turns out to taste like it's 4 years old you have to just dump the lifeless stale pint in the beer garden and walk away to a better boozer, I might return for a forfeit if I lose a bet (may God have mercy on me to forbid that from happening)

Stayed here in campervan overnight and had a few drinks and an evening meal. The food is excellent and one woman running the whole establishment. Recommend the Hunter's Chicken. Excellent service considering, don't know how she does it. Credit to her.

My wife and myself stopped here for an evening meal. Food was absolutely lovely and reasonably priced. A fabulous service too with one woman running the whole establishment and doing it very well, credit to her. Would definitely call again and recommend it very highly.

Friendly and welcoming pub. Has a dartboard and shows sports. Nice cold beer. Serves food. Handy van stop over. 🎯 🍻 🚙

Wonderful Food will definitely go again

We booked a Sunday Lunch here as our daughter was staying nearby. Three of us had roast beef and one had pork. We followed this with fruit crumble and syrup sponges all with custard. Everything was beautifully cooked and very tasty and all at reasonable prices. We couldn't fault the food at all but one poor lady was run off her feet taking orders, serving the food and clearing tables. She did a fantastic job and kept smiling throughout. All credit to her. I would hope this isn't normally the case and that there are usually more staff on. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Fabulous staff. Warm welcome. And spotlessly clean. Lovely friendly pub.

Did a motorhome stopover last night, nice large flat carpark, very friendly staff, great food, we will come again, nice little market town.

I had hair all over my food and felt ill the day after too.

This is a lovely place. We stayed their overnight in our campervan. Had a lovely meal and a very peaceful night. Just a few minutes walk from Mold Town Centre. Mold, itself, is a lovely town. Well worth a visit.

Very tasty!!! Avery pleasant place. Nice and fresh food. The best fries I've ever had.

Wanted to leave a review for this pub as the Sunday roast is delicious. And it’s only £9,95 too, smaller/cheaper portions available too! Would highly recommend

Not that great but might have been one of those days.

Love the meals here .great food and service

Called on off chance this afternoon for lunch, received a lovely warm welcome. Food was absolutely delicious and plenty of it. Chicken supreme was really tasty, steak and kidney pudding was delicous and scampi was juicy. Will definitely be going back soon. Highly recommend this place.

Nice local public house. Staff are very helpful.

Great pub staff very friendly. Can stop over night in there car park campervans motorhomes always warm welcome from the owners.

Great place to stopover with your motorhome .lovely food joyce and the staff are fab.would highly reccomend

Lovely food clean and excellent service

Sunday lunch was great portions and the beef was exceptional.

Lovely food, friendly service and well priced. Will be going back soon.

If I could give a 10 star review I would. Came for a Monday night meal and it was Amazing. The service was excellent, all staff were quick and reliable and we felt extremely safe with the covid restrictions in place. The food was absolutely delicious. 100% reccomend and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a brilliant evening.

Having previously enjoyed Sunday lunches here we thought we would respond to their invitation to take advantage of the eat out to help scheme which would have been an opportunity to check out their mid week menu. We assumed that the venue would wish to impress so that they could attract new business in these difficult times. What a mistake. The service was abysmal. Having ordered from the restricted menu some 10 minutes later we were informed that the steak on the menu was not available. It took another 15 minutes before the revised order was taken. Despite the fact we had ordered garlic bread as starter it was over one hour and a half before it arrived. A promise was made that our main meal would follow in 5 minutes. However it only arrived after over 2 hours since our arrival. Some customers simply walked out which to our regret is what we should have done. We of course ordered extra drinks which we had to pay for. Despite asking to see the person in charge this was not achieved and no suitable apology or explanation offered. We were also concerned that whilst certain Covid precautions were in operation staff were not complying with social distancing. Lastly a bit strange that not given written or itemised bill.

Has a friendly staff & hosts the local chess club.

Always a good meal at the Drovers

The food was delicious and far more than we could eat. The deserts were only £2.00 a fraction of what is charged elsewhere. Everything cooked fresh. Well done

Good food nice staff and a fab night out

Hosted a wedding vow renewal night here. Lovely, intimate venue. Will definitely visit again

Extremely welcoming,home cooked food.large carpark very good lager.

Friendly atmosphere, the food is gorgeous.

Good breakfast, free coffee refill after first cup

Great pub for lunch after a morning walk Everything fabulous, will stop after a full days walk soon for TEA

Fantastic food in this lovely pub. Really good quality home made 👌

Lovely bar, very nice food. Staff are friendly and helpful, the outside doesn't do it justice as inside is lovely

Always the best sunday dinner around

Food worth travelling for Joyce really looks after the customers. Only one negative the plants outside need TLC

We stayed the night in our campervan. Very friendly. Good home cooked food. Offered to refill water bottles. Well recommended.

Lovely didn't wait to long for food

Good pub but needs disable toilets

Nice meal friendly staff , thankfully no kids

The best Sunday roasts that I've ever found! The staff are lovely and the prices are very reasonable.

Good food and service. Made to feel welcome.

Only had a pint and a cake in there.

Needs shutting down .. vermin running round back

Very tasty Sunday Lunch. Good value for money. Friendly staff.

Lovely food and quick and friendly service

Got served frozen pizza from Tesco.

Your topical local when you walk in everyone turns and stare at you tbh it made me feel like we where not wellcome

Tried the Drovers after a recommendation. As it was a pre Christmas drink and meal we expected a festive atmosphere. It was sadly lacking. No music, not even festive in the background. Food was basic but good. Staff friendly. Would not return

Called in on the off chance for a last minute tea. Was quiet so was able to get in. I had steak which was cooked perfectly! The homemade chips are to die for!! Friendly service, reasonable prices! Would highly recommend

Cracking meal as usual... A hidden gem

Good beer. Nice interior. Friendly staff.

Eaten here a lot! Lovely place to eat couldn’t recommend enough Staff are all welcoming and friendly

went here for tea one Saturday night, it was 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £25, meal was cooked fresh to order proper home cooked chips nice and chunky steak cooked just right and a salad, there wasn't many people in so we didn't have to wait long for our meal, the staff were lovely and the meal was better than I've had in a rester aunt, for a little town pub the food was great, defo go back here soon as it is now our local

Called in to this busy pub at 1600 today. I hadn’t booked, yet Wendy and Joyce provided a superb roast beef lunch and all the trimmings within 20 minutes. The full menu was also available with a good choice for vegetarians.

Best value and quality Sunday lunch in Mold. Called into this popular and busy pub at 1600 today. I hadn’t booked, yet Wendy and Joyce provided a superb roast beef lunch on the table within 20 minutes. Full menu was also available and it’s good to see such a wide vegetarian choice.

great place for a night out staff great

Fantastic pub amazing food and the staff are so nice and friendly

Standard, traditional pub, and there's nothing wrong with that. Varied menu and separate seating area for dining. Sports on the telly, big free car park, reminded me of the good old days, with pubs how they used to be. A good pub for a Saturday afternoon :)

Took a while but well worth the wait - food cooked to order and just lovely. Dog friendly too with biscuits!

Food is lovely there, we've been a few times and never had a bad meal, the roast are to die for.

Love it, people are very friendly, staff work extremely hard to keep the place going, and I always love the atmosphere in there!

Friendly staff gave our dog treats. Yummy steak meals and wine. Great value for money. Will be visiting again!

Best pub grub around. The food is amazing.

What a lovely nice friendly pub had a great meal and thanks to Wendy for her welcome and great friendly service nothing was too much trouble for her , even gave our dog a fresh bowl of water and some dog biscuits.

Spot on dinners never a failure x

Lovely people. Food was absolutely fantastic. Thank you.. we will definitely be back soon.

once again on our way to llandudno on our way from yorkshire we of course opted lunch at the drovers having been there 3 times before, as usual the beer food and service all tops please note you may have to hang on a while for your food as it is all freshly prepared by a great cook the landlady. on the menu you will see these may be the best chips in town naa they are the best chips in wales and the uk. on todays visit I opted for a chicken curry with chips I could have had rice or 50/50 combined with a small nan I suspect this was made by the landlady my wife and son had a grilled salmon darn, served on sweet chilly noodles. we all went away happy again and will return again and again

Paid a visit to this pub with a friend who was local to it. He is a regular there and said the food was excellent. He was right. The pub was quiet and a very satisfactory lunch was enjoyed. We both had the chicken curry (spiced up a bit) which was first class and would be perfectly acceptable in an Indian restaurant.

Would not go there again we waited 50 minutes for our food the children had sat there too long and then would not eat when it arrived we were told they lost the foos order from the bar to the kitchen when i food came our curry was horrible and the childrens burger was dry it was horrible

Very relaxed and lovely food. Chip's are amazing

The staff is very helpful and friendly, with inventive and exceptional food! We had a family event in Mold and all met up after wards for an 'after party' of sorts. They were able to accommodate our loud and large group with ease. It is a very unassuming place, where everyone feels welcome.

Low cost, friendly atmosphere. They do a carvery which is good for the price. Little bit run down but clean.

Lovely food, lovely people what more can I say?
