Druid Inn in Denbighshire

On our way to Barmouth, we called in for lunch. We have been before and liked it for the comfortable surroundings and quality food and drinks. We were not disappointed, we had homemade soup and fish and chips, all good and fair prices.

We had been here before, usually on a sunny day and having a sandwich and a portion of chips outside, enjoying the view. This time the weather was poor so we had a meal inside. Drink orders were taken by a cheerful young server and we placed our order five minutes later. We had to wait nearly 35 minutes for our meals and noticed the two couples that had come in after us ( about ten minutes after us) were served straight after us. The chips were obviously frozen ones, which is fine if the price of the meal reflects this and they are the better " frozen chip". The sides were in ramekin dishes which I totally approve of, I hate meals were the plate is so congested that you are unable to eat your meal without spilling the contents. However I have never seen such small ramekin dishes! Two teaspoons of mushy peas with the fish, two teaspoons of coleslaw with the burger meal; it was certainly a conversation point. No one came to check if the meal was OK there was a general lack of friendliness so yes we were disappointed

Booked here after a lovely walk nearby, so glad we did, warm welcome when we arrived, Was seated straight away and gave us the menus and took our drinks order, Drinks arrive quickly. We had the Chicken leek and ham pie off the special board, and the Druid Burger, Both Meals were delicious and very reasonable, Definitely will be returning ,thanks again.

We stopped here on the off chance. We were greeted by friendly staff who welcomed our dog. We had a lovely table in the bar area and had some delicious food which was beautifully served. Such a lovely place, reasonably priced with a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the Druid Inn overnight after a walk around Nercwys forest. Our room were clean and the beds very comfortable. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the area is just beautiful. We would definitely come again. Thank you!

This was the only pub open we could find but it was such a find. Cosy, warm and welcoming with the friendliest, helpful staff. Had a lovely table out of the way and everywhere was decorated overly and Christmassy. There was plenty of choice on the menu and all the food was delicious and well presented. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back if in the area.

We come here quite often and never had a bad meal. We’ve had the homemade burgers the fish pie and today we had the homemade steak suet and it’s consistently good. Sunday dinners are decent as well

We have visited recently on a few occasions and always feel there’s a very warm welcome in this lovely country pub. We decided to book for a Sunday roast and were very pleased. The staff are very friendly and service is excellent. The food was beautiful, we had the lamb and beef dinners and everything about it was perfect. We will definitely book again. It was very busy so definitely recommend booking.

We were sat in the dog friendly part of the restaurant which was very comfortable for us and our two greyhounds. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced.

Comfortable accommodation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic evening meal! and very good breakfast. Great for walkers of Offa’s Dyke- will pick up and drop off from/to path.

Both my husband and I are vegan. We had different dishes and both were superb; amongst the best we’ve had. Friendly service and good beer too.

This is by far the worst, most unsettling, uncomfortable and creepy experience I have had to endure whilst eating out. Firstly we were 'welcomed' down numerous steps with a pram, it would have been nice for the boy showing us to our table to have prepared us for the maze of narrow doorways and steps, even perhaps offered a hand instead of waiting rather bemused for us to tackle the obstacle course. Not only were we sat at the furthest table but also next to the most disturbingly rude elderly couple (who I presume are locals or atleast regulars as they bought the chef jelly beans?) After calling the waitress a 'sl*g' as she walked away for forgetting his whiskey, they then proceeded to talk about my partner and I in a perverted and creepy manner within perfect ear shot for us to hear. It was quite clear they had nothing better to do with their lives and had given up any form of civilisation skills. I appreciate this was not the establishments fault however the food was also pretty poor and overpriced, I would have expected homemade bread or just fresh atleast, rather than a stale roll. We would rather have not paid for this abysmal experience however upon leaving we then had to wait and look around for atleast 15 minutes to actually find someone to pay. It is safe to say we will not be returning here and I would advise anyone to steer clear.

Visiting my husbands mum as she’s recovering from a bad fall, thought it would be nice to take her for a bite to eat whilst the sun is shining. Hadn’t been here for quite a while and was pleasantly surprised that it’s a really good place for decent food. Sat outside soaking up the sun with drinks whilst we decided what to eat. It’s not a huge menu to choose from but there is something for everyone including a great choice of roasts for a Sunday lunch. Two roasts and a 10oz Gammon ordered, although it was busy the staff were attentive and food came in a reasonable amount of time. Would definitely recommend. Mid range on pricing, the food was beautifully presented and enough of it to feel full but not over facing.

Stopped as beer garden looked nice. Ordered a Cajun chicken and bacon hot sandwich for £9.50 - looked like off cuts of chicken and bacon tasted awful and came with the smallest salad and about 5 crisps not to mention it was cold. Also got a garlic ciabatta (paid an extra £1 for cheese) and came as only half a ciabatta for £5.95!!! Was hardly toasted more like bread with cheese. Ridiculously expensive. Spoke to the bar lady who sorted it straight away and gave me a new portion with the remaining half of the ciabatta. Wish I asked for my money back. Nice beer but not good food not to mention the price. Worked in the food industry and never had to send food back or write a bad review before.

We stayed at the Druid Inn while walking Offa's Dyke path. Convenient location. Friendly helpful hostess. Great dinner & breakfast

Visited the druid inn last night for a meal with my wife and from the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome the staff were so friendly and helpful we sat in the bar and had a drink whilst we waited for our table (we were a bit early), and once it was ready we were escorted to our table. The food arrived after a short wait and it was plentiful and delicious. Couldn't rate the service and food high enough. Thank you.

We have stopped here for lunch three years running when we visit my late father's family. I is a very well run pub with friendly staff, the service is efficient and the cooking is very good indeed.

the meal was good but it was the outstanding service especially from sam McCann which I will remember.From entering until leaving her attention to detail was firstt class.Thank you Sam.

Lovely pub and pleasantly busy for a weekday evening creating a nice atmosphere for a catch up meal with family and friends. Great selection on the fixed menu and the specials board. Was a little surprised that the cost of a children’s meal didn’t include...

Called in today (Friday 30th August) with mum and dad for lunch. We had 2 courses each. The starters and mains were all excellent. Portion sizes were very generous. The service from Megan and the young man (Sorry, didn't get his name) was wonderful. Friendly,...

Homely, clean,friendly and good food. Easy access on A494 towards Ruthin, Denbighshire. Easy parking, definitely recommend.

We came here in July noting that it was a dog friendly food pub. It was excellent. Food and service superb. The meat ploughman’s was fantastic. Kids menu was maybe a little over priced. Nice little chapel next door we had a wander round. Will...

This pub features on an Offa's Dyke walking guide even though it's a fair distance from the path (all downhill if you are coming off the Dyke). Nevertheless, we got a great welcome; good rooms, plentiful food and good beer, Breakfast was also great. We...

OMG! What can I say? It was the bees knees, amazing, unbelievable, delicious, yummy. So many words and none would do it justice. We have the Sunday roast, myself the beef and my partner the lamb. Both came with mash and roasties, perfectly cooked veggies,...

A cracking pub just slightly off Offah's Dyke path but worth a small detour. We were welcomed with great beer and although our room was small, it was extremely comfy and quiet (even though it was close to the main road). We only had breakfast...

Visited the Druid after hearing good reviews from friends & neighbours. I'm really pleased to say they were all 100% right. A lovely village pub with a charming & warm atmosphere. The service was friendly and informative and the food was absolutely delicious. The menu...

After a long dog walk we decided to return here after a long absence. We ordered the soup and sandwich to share. Beautiful prawn tasty sandwiches and a lovely thick soup. Just what we needed sitting outside in the sun with a chilly breeze. Delightful...

We have nothing but amazing things to say about this pub! We organised a fundraiser climb up Moel Famau in April 2018, and over 25 people turned up, the manager of the Druid happily let us use their back room, for after our fundraiser, they...

After a 12 mile walk with our border collies we decided it was time to eat. We and the dogs were made very welcome by the staff and landlady. Plenty of choice on the specials board and main menu. Purple Moose ales too - excellent....

After reading reviews online of pubs local to moel famau I booked a table here. The pub was small and cosy with a fire crackling away and smiling locals. Once seated my partner and I both chose the Stilton mushrooms for starters which were very...

Third visit here for food and it never disappoints. Beautiful high quality food. Wonderful warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff are brilliant and the locals very friendly. Wish this was close enough to be our local! Highly recommended

I visited the Druid with husband and two friends. I ordered the steak pie as did my friend. There was only one pie left so it was suggested I order the braised beef (which I think was on the Christmas menu). I’m so glad I...

Sam the landlady as applied her tlc to the inn and made a superb job of it. It as lost none of its charm With the addition of purple moose ales ,a Welch award winning brewery it's the icing on the cake, excellent, ales wine...

We visited this pub about five years ago and loved it so on holiday in the area again we called in. I was a bit sceptical given some of the recent reviews. We arrived mid Sunday afternoon and it had apparently been very busy but...

A great stop off for lunch for us, dogs allowed too. We needed somewhere for lunch having walked up Moel Famau and happened across this place. Nice and traditional and they had made a real effort to decorate for Halloween. Food great and lovely staff.

'm rating the inn as a whole: We stayed there and had dinner and breakfast. We were walking the Offa's Dyke Path in the pouring rain, called Sam the owner as instructed from a parking lot of a business down the road, she was there...

We visited for lunch a couple of weeks ago. We hadn't booked but were given a table immediately! The service was warm and friendly, extensive and varied menu and excellent meal which was very good value for money. What I particularly like is that this...

We arrived at the Druid after a long walk in the rain on the Offa's Dyke Path. The inn owner, Sam picked us up off the Trail and showed us our rooms, advising us to put our wet boots in the boiler room to dry....

Good food freshly cooked and served piping hot. I am not the easiest of people to please but I was very happy with everything I ate

We stopped for a drink but saw some of the meals being served and were given such a warm welcome so we decided to eat. I had the burger which, rarely these days, was not served in a Brioche bun. Definitely a plus. It was...

On our first visit for many years, we found the Druid Inn transformed, with a real fire burning in the grate, and charming landlady Sam could not have been more friendly, welcoming and attentive. The whole ambience was cosy, warm, traditional. Our starters - Tomato...

The Druid Inn has changed hands in the last 2-3 years, which has brought about a big improvement in the menu. Previously there was a huge menu which made you wonder how fresh the food was. The menu has shrunk considerably and the food is...

While staying in the inn, locals told me the pub had an excellent chef and menu so after a long walk on Offas dyke I decided to 'eat in' The menu was extensive, the food wonderful and excellent value

We stayed here during a break from walking the Offa's Dyke Path. You can arrange to be picked up & dropped back to the path, they charged us £20 for 6 of us which was OK. Our rooms were basic but clean and everything we...

Stayed at the Druid Inn again, whilst visiting the UK. We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are spotlessly clean and beds are comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order and very nice. We had dinner on arrival, in the bar. Steaks were delicious. Sunday lunch...

after three visits to the druid in the past and been disappointed every time we said never again,, however we did, under a different management and the food was excellent this is an old inn in a very picturesque area

A friend and I stayed at the Druid Inn while walking the Offa's Dyke Path. A member of staff collected us from the path a couple of miles from the pub. We had a nice pub dinner (that was delivered very quickly after ordering) while...

Old fashioned pub with wonderful grub! Barman very welcoming and made you feel at home straight away even though we were passing trade, as he did with everyone who came through the door, our little dog was welcome too and there is a tub of...

Sat at the window with a glorious view of the surrounding hills. Staff were pleasant and food was excellent. Will go again with friends.

I’ve stayed three times now at the Druid Inn and it’s hard to fault. The bedrooms are varied and at 6’3 I don’t fit single beds but Sam (the boss) tries hard to please. The food on offer is strong with plenty of choice and...

We were staying at the inn, and asked for a table for dinner at 7.30. they said they had a party of 16 coming at 7.30, and it would be better if we sat down at 7.20 so they could get us sorted first. Good...

Popped in for a pint and a bite to eat after walking the dog nearby. Was looking at the menu but was told by bar staff they’d just stopped serving. However the next customer who arrived after us was served a meal. When I queried...

So pleased we decided to stop here for lunch. Excellent ales, good menu selection. Veggie roast was superb as was the beef suet pudding. Staff were welcoming & helpful. No complaints from us just lots of praise & looking forwards to our next visit. Thank...

The Druid's has been brought back to live, thankfully, after years of stagnation. We tried it last week and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which have moved beyond the wholesaler's freezer job.

After climbing Moel Famau we called here for lunch. It is a lovely pub with plenty of place to sit outside with dogs. They do allow dogs in the bar if well behaved and on a lead. Ordered two tuna sandwiches and a lasagne. The...

Visited for a family meal, the food was ok but for me the restaurant was cold which spoiled the evening. We sat with our coats on and couldn’t wait to pay and leave it was freezing in there.

Great menu especially the dessert menu. Easy location to find on main road. Staff friendly and service quick. Main meals around £10-£15 and desserts around £5. Dogs welcome.

It’s great that the hosts are prepared to pick people up off the ODP and then then deposit them to the same place the next day to continue the ridge walk. The food is pretty good for pub fayre with some unusual choices, nice beer...

Our party of 6 enjoyed the food and ambience of the pub and 6 meals (2 children’s portions) with drinks came to about £70 so it wasn’t bad value and the locally sourced food was tasty.

Stopped by on the recommendation of a friend who dined here recently. Although the main menu felt a little limited the specials board easily made up for it. When it arrived the food was superb. The fish and chips was second to none and my...

Stopped off after walking up to Moel Famau. Very friendly pub with excellent efficient service. Food ordered was delicious. Will visit again.

Stopped for a quick drink and a snack lunch. Very warm welcome. Food was good and at a reasonable price.

Just come home from having an excellent meal (again) in the Druids. Food is really good quality and staff very friendly and helpful. The only pub I've eaten Sunday dinner at that tastes like homemade dinners. Lovely chuvely. Will be going back again very soon,...

So good we came back again! Lovely welcome from the Manager and her staff. Nothing is too much trouble. great food and drink, warming log fire and beautiful room with views of the hills and with a gorgeous breakfast. You simply cannot go wrong here....

Nice pub with really cheerful welcome from the staff. Food was good, although lasagne had too much tomato sauce on it for my liking (in fairness, it was advertised as such on the menu). Good chunky chips!

We sat outdoors and took in the sunshine and the gorgeous views. Upon entering the pub there were several patrons sitting inside and I noticed a fire burning in the fireplace and a dog sitting nearby. It was a picture perfect moment. Even though the...

Excellent food, friendly service, clean, comfortable set in beautiful countryside. Recommend a walk around the BEAUTIFUL area and a visit to the church of St Ferres next door to the pub.

We ate two dinners in the pub, two breakfasts in the restaurant, and had two lunches to go. Good brews in the pub.

Travelling to Chester and saw this pub with seating outside in the sunshine and decided to drop in for lunch on a Monday afternoon in July – with all the outside shade taken we decided to sit in the cool of the inside – immediate...

Amazing customer service, the staff would do anything to help that they could. Good portions of fresh food.

What a beautiful view, despite being situated on the main A525 ! Four of us ordered 4 different lunches - and they were all superb ! The sandwiches are amazing here - more filling than bread! They are all served in mighty portions, with salad...

Llegamos al pub a mediodía y pudimos reservar temprano que era bueno. Luego nos fuimos a la pub para un poco de comida. El personal era muy educado y amable, y la casera Sam era genial. La comida era de primera calidad. Un triple decker BLT para mí junto con una gran pinta de Marstons Pedigrí y un almuerzo plowmans para mi esposa. Reservamos una mesa en el restaurante por la noche. La comida era absolutamente increíble. Cod era de verdad horneados una de las mejores comidas que he tenido. Postre era genial y con mi esposa para diabéticos, Sam la casera arregló su salida con una fantástica de quesos, aunque no estaba en el menú. Ir la milla extra para los clientes que es un verdadero signo de calidad. Este lugar es una auténtica joya y no debería perderse. Incluso nos fuimos y nos sentamos en el bar con la gente después de la cena y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos.

Popped in for Sunday dinner. Perfect for families and dogs are welcome! Very good service from polite and well informed staff. Lovely freshly cooked food arriving in rather large portions. Beautiful views sitting outside and inside. Definitely worth a visit and you will leave satisfied.

We were picked up from the trail and driven back the next day. Lovely old pub, room absolutely fine, good food, beer and breakfast, perfect.

Very good cooking at this combination pub/restaurant. They have nightly specials which seem very well prepared as well. I opted for the seafood pie which had a little too much potato but still was very good. Pleasant service and good prices.

The Druids inn is a lovely place with very polite staff and fantastic food, the druids burger is the best and great onion rings I will definitely be returning and the views are amazing.

La comida tarda un rato, pero creo que por tres órdenes mesas al mismo tiempo. Tenía 3 filetes de pescado y patatas fritas. Algunas vistas eran que era el mejor bistec que habían tenido. Fue una comida maravillosa. La cerveza era buena. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.
