Duke of Wellington in Wrexham

They squeezed us in with not much notice. Staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. We had the beef and lamb roast dinners and THEY....WERE....DELICIOUS!! I asked for extra gravy with my perfectly cooked lamb shank, as it was the best I've ever had. Thanks to both the lovely staff working that day and for introducing the kids to Trixie the cat! Think we have found our new Sunday local, we will be back!

Absolutely fabulous place, lovely warm welcome and the food was delicious! Thank you

We loved this typically Welsh pub. It was next door to our Airbnb in Trevor. We arrived around 8PM on the night of the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. They were full of locals and the kitchen was closing. The owner came out and said they would keep the kitchen open, sat us down and turned on a second TV so we could watch the ceremonies comfortably. We ordered fish and chips, curry, and the steak and ale pie. All of the food was delicious and fresh. The steak and ale pie was the best we had the whole trip.

Staff were so accommodating and even let us watch the Olympic opening ceremonies there. Food was delicious!

Fantastic Sunday roast. Best I've had in ages. Traditional roast with all the trimmings, proper homemade & delicious. Staff super friendly & welcoming. Catered to our very fussy son, very accommodating. Lovely garden areas for kids to play around. Very relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a sunny Father's day 😊

Very nice to pup, friendly staff and good beer. Watched a band there. Sun was shining, very good day.

We went in for lunch today as we where visiting the aqueduct, we got a lovely roast dinner with braising steak then cake and ice cream afterwards , it's a shame everybody goes to the pub by the aqueduct and waits an hour for food when this little gem is just up the road ,would definitely recommend

Good food. Good service. Made very welcome.

Nice people, pint was poor but the slide outside was a belta.

Best pub in the area. Always a good welcome from friendly staff. Lovely, home-made, food, at fantastic prices. Can't go wrong calling here.

Thanks for feeding us this evening and making us welcome after a long drive. Lovely food, best pub chips I've ever had.

A great place. The only things on the menu are things that they can cook for you! The food was good at really low prices and the beer was excellent. This is what I want to see in a pub rather than a menu as long as your arm with everything precooked and 'pinged'. So much better than other local offerings.

This is a proper pub serving great food which will definitely fill you up, great service from the very friendly owners, good choice of beer and sports if you want it ,big garden area if the weather is good,lots of banter with the locals good fun ,a proper pub

Went for Sunday roast it was awesome. Will definitely be going again

We have stopped at this pub a few times in the past but had not visited for a while (only because we have not been in the area) On our way to Wales so knew it was a good place to stop for lunch. Always had good food, everyone is very friendly and we will be stopping there again on our way back home

This pub is fantastic. We had Steak and Ale pie and three curry, chips and Naan. The pie pastry was delicious and was full of steak. The curry was absolutely delicious too lovely and creamy. Then we went for puddings. The Jam Sponge and custard was light and fluffy and the apple crumble and custard was delicious. If you want good home cooking at a very reasonable price, this is the place to go. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend The Duke of Wellington in Acrefair and you won’t be disappointed.

We just had a great Sunday roast here.

Food very disappointing ordered the fish & chips it was a cheap frozen battered fish that was hard & tasteless my friend had the homemade pie the pastry was way to thick to eat all in all most of the food went back to the kitchen no comment from staff when told it wasn't enjoyable so obviously used to people not eating their food all in all would Not recommend it

Great pub, good beer, friendly staff

Popped in for Sunday dinner, good home made food, I picked the beef dinner was delicious.

Nice pub stop in-between wrexham and Llangollen

Pub re-opened with new owners 04/2023. Lovely couple running the pub, children and dogs welcome inside and in the amazing beer garden. Great home cooked food and a plenty of choice of drinks.

A very warm and dog friendly welcome for our Sunday lunch :)

Locals pub, good pint, massive tele with sky sports, decent little place

Cosy little local pub. Nice to pop in for a swift half now and again. Landlord on. 🍻

Only called in to watch the football, but seemed an OK place.

A lovely old world pub ideal for those who have been walking or are looking for a stop off for a refreshment, fully enclosed child/dog safe beer garden at front with lots of good quality tables and a tractor the kids can sit on play on. Good selection of drinks on and off tap, friendly staff and locals. Well worth a stop off. Not a big family food pub inside, more of a traditional old man's pub and bar but lovely nonetheless.

Popped in for a quick beer good choice of beers .. pleasant Place

Just visited recently with family. Better than it was the last time. Needs to do food, just a simple pub menu will be sure to attract the custom that is required. Did meet new licencees, need to be a bit more welcoming. This is not a criticism, just advice.

Great little pub lovely staff fast service

Came to visit when with family had some lovely times . I know times have been difficult with covid etc, it's nice to see that the Duke is open, but I think that a bit, no, a lot more effort is needed .

Friendly but went for food - no longer serves food, so this needs changing on trip advisor! I’m only writing more now as I have to make this up to 100 characters

Had a lovely time great bunch of people there will b going back,

Good outside but inside is tiny

Nice friendly pub but in need of a refurb.

Never been before, but will be going again, just the job after a long walk round Ty Mawr

Landlord was very friendly, good beer Yorkshire beer well kept Tim Taylor's. Locals very pleasant with us.

need to get rid of the english flags we are in wales

A brilliant pub, welcoming landlord and fantastic locals.

Great service and great pint of Guinness

Great place to stop on a ride out

Small, friendly staff me n the family popped in this weekend whilst out walking and were made to feel welcome

Lovely home cooked food. With friendly service. Love it here.

Nice friendly place. Was kind to bring out bowl of water for our dog

Lovely home cooked food an lovely friendly staff.. only reason I'm not giving 5 star is that you can't eat outside but other than that its a lovely place.

This is one of the best places to go for food and in the summer she puts a bouncey castle up by the seating area and the kids love it and the food is very good and its cheap aswell and they done a kids menu aswell the staff r great u should try it u wont be disappointed believe me.

Food O.K. but the place is a dive.

Excellent food and a good choice of drinks

Great home cooked food and a very warm welcome from the staff and the customers,will defiantly be going back again.

Love coming here in the summer and sitting out in the beer garden. Good hearty portions of food served, friendly staff. Kids love the "Big red tractor".

Very welcoming. They supplied darts so we could play!

Not interested in passing trade

Friendly. Prices good. Food great value.

Popped in for dinner at the Duke Of Wellington, was made to feel very welcome by the lady behind the bar. My dog and I sat in a very family orientated bar, it was lovely that kids and dogs are made so welcome. From the menu I ordered the ham and eggs, not something I would normally order but it was recommended by the lady at the bar... Well.... Who knew that ham and eggs could taste so good?? It was lovely, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here, I felt very welcome and comfortable and the food was lovely and great value for money.

The staff are friendly. The food was lovely. Nice and little country pub.good value for money. Made us feel very welcome. The dog even got a little treat.

Good food and good selection of beers

Landlady is very 'on the ball' 👍

Had lunch here after a boat ride on the nearby famous aqueduct at Llangollen. Located just a 2 minute drive uphill from Jones the Boats. Had a steak and Guinness pie served with freshly mashed potatoes and peas. The included side of brown gravy was delicious and very large. Everything was hot and delicious. Followed it with a really outstanding dessert. A summer fresh berry crumble was served hot and covered in fresh cream. It was outstanding...not sugary sweet. The owner, Seanee, was delightful to us. She cooks everything herself and even lives in the historic house. The place has been a pub since AT LEAST 1852! She said the house was between 200 and 300 years old! Way cool history and atmosphere. Food was very reasonably priced, was served promptly and the portions were large. Highly recommended!

Staying locally and went for Sunday lunch. Friendly staff and even agreed to make my wife vegetarian lasagne which was much appreciated. Fantastic roast with super tender beef and beautifully cooked. Cosy atmosphere and seems popular with locals. Recommend booking as gets very busy.

Staff friendly, good selection of beers etc, food and choices of great.

Clean friendly and the best chips

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch ,just like mum used to make ,would highly recommend

Four of us had a lovely lunch of sausage and onions and liver and onions, nice and hot followed by fresh bread and butter pudding, small but very friendly will visit again very good value for money

Nice little pub. Owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Would visit again.

Good atmosphere. Friendly locals

Polecam fantastycznie tanio duzo smacznie obsługa przemiła

Bardzo miła obsługa. Dobre jedzenie i piwo z kija pompowane. Świetny plac zabaw dla dzieci.

A cosy pub with lovely inexpensive home cooked food. A couple of real ales on the go and a TV and jukebox, plus an outdoor play area for children. The staff are really nice and friendly.

Lovely lunch .Good value and good ingrediance.Great beers and 2 draft ciders.we will visit again very soon

good food, great staff, my local.

Lovely little pub with brilliant deals on food.

Home cooked food and a great pint. Remember to book as it gets busy.

Had a drink sitting in the sun, it was busy their but pretty good service

Very friendly staff, excellent food and service and look forward to another visit there. Thank you for a lovely way to end a great day.

Lovely food and happy atmosphere

Lovely sunny lunch here at a affordable price

No food on Saturday night lack of staff

Brilliant great food welcoming staff unbeatable and good prices proper local pub

Had a very nice meal with the family. Lady who took our order behind bar and served our drinks, who also cooked and also waited on us did a great job at multi_tasking.

Brilliant welcome, phoned on route to Brass Band contest in Wrexham. Group of 17, all catered for lovely home cooked meals. Watched the match and all enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend this pub, staff brilliant catering for us all at short notice (30 minutes). Couldn't do enough. Thank you all xx

Very friendly and beautiful food at amazing prices. Portion sizes are large too. Definitely a favourite local pub. Toilets are outdoor and a bit rough though

The service is great. Didn't enjoy the oven chips, the peas like bullets or the fatty ham. The eggs were however cooked perfectly and my partner enjoyed the cheesy mash with the chicken and leak.

The best pint pulled and home cooked food ever tasted. I bring friends and family here and they all say what a great family pub and lovely food. Highly recommend to everyone!

A lovely family friendly pub. Excellent food choices available, all home cooked and nothing too much trouble. Personal favourite is the hand carved ham, chips & egg or the delicious Sunday roast. Always made to feel welcome. Recommend highly.

Fabulous meals at the duke acrefair! Our new favourite eating place! Staff are so helpful and go the extra mile for allergies! Excellent value for money!!

This is a classic traditional small pub that does good quality food at a very reasonable price. The service was good and the food came out quicker than i expected. It is a small pub with beams in the ceiling and is quite homely. My wife had ham and cheese sandwiches with chips and the meal was big. I had sausage with onion gravy. Very tasty. The tea and coffee come in large mugs - great value.. Well worth a call in if you are passing. Far more economical than eating down the road in Llangollen

Lovely little local pub lovely food and very friendly staff,service is second to none highly recommend.

The two stars are for the friendly staff. We seen some reviews and sounded great but the warmest thing about the microwaved dry food were the plates not to sure what meat we had but we were told it was lamb 🤔 I don't think we will go their again for food unfortunately..

Was really looking forward to our roast at this place to celebrate my fiance 40th birthday with our children but what a disappointment the food was awful I would be ashamed to serve a meal like that. Mash was lumpy roasties were shameful meat didn't even taste like Lamb portion was shocking for the price just completely tasteless wouldn't waste your time going here. Waitress was lovely but the food was such a disappointment wanted to refuse to pay. All you could hear was ping from the microwave. Never again

Catered for 10 at the last minute. Lovely food, large portions. Very reasonable priced & friendly staff.

Always a warm welcome from the hostess,as I am not a regular all year me and my mate always call several times during the shooting season for good pint of beer.

Food just like me mum cook like being at home with the family good pub

Very very disappointed. After reading other reviews we thought this place would be great, as we had just moved to the area. How wrong could have I been . food was cold and so was the service, “service” was non existent to be honest. !! we were talked to in a very poor manner, infront of our 6year old daughter which almost tipped me to the point of losing my temper. But due to the fact our daughter was with us I kept cool. This place feels almost like if your face doesn’t fit ! Then expect the worst . Anyway back to our 40min drive for a decent Sunday roast with warm welcome oh and service !!!!

Lovely home comfort food. They have a two meals for £10 offer. I would highly recommend the lamb.

We got a great welcome and ordered 2 ploughman's. The cheese and the ham we're out of this world. We live in Preston but would come back here if in the area for the best food wrexham

Great Sunday dinner and excellent service, will be back again.

Food fantastic lovely place and very friendly people.

Nearly drove straight past. Spotted board advertising 2 meals for £10. We didn’t take advantage of this but had two delicious sandwiches with chips & salad. We received a typical friendly Welsh welcome. Would wholeheartedly recommend

Popped in for meal, lovely food and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

We was walking along the canal and bumped into a man ( John) and his dog (Gracie) who recommend this pub for it great food. He wasn't wrong. Lovely pub friendly staff great food. Just around the corner from the Pontcysyllte aqueduct.
