Griffin Inn Pub in Wrexham

Traditional quaint countryside pub. Lovely too see it opened for business once again. Only serving drinks at present but aim to start serving food from September. Good atmosphere and warm, friendly staff.

We came here for sunday lunch and it was lovely. £8 for a roast which is excellent value and they had gluten free gravy which was great to see. They had 2 ales on; both kept well. The guest was Shropshire Gold which was / is fantatsic. Staff were really nice and friendly. Overall a cracking experience and we'll definitely be back again soon.

Called in as passing by and tried the £8 Sunday carvery. Good value and pleasant service. Rustic local pub for locals and friendly atmosphere. Even had alcohol free old mout cider for dry January!

Great village night . Jo and Gary go the extra mile to make it special for the young and the oldies too....

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome by the bar staff and the locals.Helped along by a couple of pints of local cider. Great ,honest pub grub. Fish and chips and gammon steak all perfect. Great value . Good too see the British pub is still alive .Nice camp site a bonus .

Menu isn't the widest range but the items on it are well priced (below £10 per main) and are good sized portions even for a big water like myself.It's a cosy venue which soon fills up.Staff were friendly and welcoming.If in the area I'd go again.

Amazing food, great value and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food and drinks. Free WiFi and dog friendly.

We visited this pub last weekend while researching family history in the area. Never been here before but looked nice as we drove past.What a lovely pub it turned out to be. The owner (Gary) was very welcoming and the pub had a lovely traditional atmosphere. We had a drink and ordered some toasted sandwiches - quality ingredients and very reasonably priced. From what I can see there is a camp-site with facilities behind the pub, which is perfectly located for anyone visiting North Wales or West Cheshire / Chester area.We had never been here before but felt they treated us like regulars and will certainly be going back there next time we are in the area. Thoroughly recommended !

In with the brother in law Kelly... Great beer.. Great food great company.. Nice selection of Gins and ales.. Will be back...

Came here for Mother’s Day as it was the only place we could get a reservation at short notice. What a great surprise. When I saw the prices on the menu my expectations were low (in line with the prices), but the food was excellent. No, it’s not fancy and the surroundings aren’t upmarket, but the welcome was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The Tempranillo was lovely too and there was no trouble getting an alcohol free beer for my partner, who was driving. Menu choice was limited but no one had trouble choosing something they could eat. The haloumi fries were the best I’d ever tasted. Would definitely visit again.

Went for first time, had a drink and left. Had heard the food was good but we decided not to eat as the place had no effort made on it, old grubby looking surroundings.

Lovely friendly local pub great food and drinks and brilliant staff it may be off the main road but its always busy. The landlord and his wife are very welcoming and always take good care of their customers lovely place. Look forward to going again.

Lovely cosy traditional village pub. The food is exceptional, really nice home cooked food and well priced. We will definitely be visiting again.

good food good beer and happy staff camping proper pub nice suroundings close to wrexham chester quiz thursday

Stayed for 4 nights while working in the area. Made to feel very welcome by the two friendly owners. A lively traditional olde world village pub with thick stone walls and a couple of open fires.

We thought The Griffin Arms was a lovely village pub-just called in for a drink-we felt it had a nice friendly atmosphere- sat by the fire- enjoying the chit chat- certainly a place we would re visit.

Basic but lovely and peaceful. Good spotless facilities and lovely homely pub with great staff. Great gin liqueur.

After many years we decided as a family to give the Griffin a try for dinner on Thursday last week, because we knew there was new management from before, and the online menu looked appealing and reasonably priced. It turned out to be the BEST choice because we had a really lovely experience in this little place! Despite the horrible weather there were some local guys sat at the bar putting the world to rights when we arrived, just exactly the atmosphere you hope to still see in a village pub. The owner Gary welcomed us and showed us our table and then let us try the two cask bitters before ordering our drinks. There was a lovely wood burner at the end of the room, and just plain and simple tables and chairs with no fuss and frills, which we totally loved. The menu was just right, and we loved the little introduction at the front mentioning the cats who sadly were missing from the pub the night of our visit, because we love animal friendly pubs! Luckily a local lady brought her adorable rescue dog with her a bit later on and he sat up next to the bar keeping an eye on proceedings which was just brilliant!

The pub is very welcoming to all, it is a mix of locals and visitors who all seem to enjoy a pub atmosphere. The food is good and not expensive.

Good beer well kept and very more ish the Cheese burger was ace and I had all the add ons and my wife had the home made Chilli which was excellent the bill very reasonable if not cheap

Booked The Griffin Inn as not far to Wrexham for the Stereophonics gig. Lovely peaceful location, great pub with good beer selection in great condition. Food excellent quality and quantity, very good value for money and excellent hosts Gary & Jo.

Spent 4 nights at The Griffin campsite in our tourer. As always a very warm welcome from Gary and Jo. The beauty of this campsite is its location. All the benefits of the countryside and being out in the middle of nowhere and the facilities of the pub next door. Gary and Jo run an excellent village pub with a good varied menu. Particularly recommend the Steak and Gammon.

Arrived just after 6 to a full Car Park always a good sign. Friendly welcome as we met up with my Brother in Law at Caravan Park. Choose Steak and chips with mushrooms and tomatoes. Asked for medium rare and cooked perfectly. Excellent value for money.

We stayed the May Bank Holiday weekend with our motorhome in the field behind the pub. Could not have been made more welcome by Gary. the selection of beer was great, and the food was proper home-ccoked and not over priced. A great find!

Fantastic beer and great simple pub grub 👍🏻 serves BrewDog Punk IPA on draft! A real treat 😬 Had a great night out here with family and friends.

We stayed at Gary and Jo's campsite at the rear of the pub to be close to our daughter for christmas who lives 15 mins away in Ffrith

What a find real old fashioned country pub,log burners and so cosy.we had amazing freshly cooked beef dinner at £6.50 wonderful will definitely go again wish it was my local.my advice is book your table as it was busy for dinner.the owners were so nice and welcoming

Had a lovely meal today , hosts were lovely didn't have to wait long we sat at table by the fire . The food was delicious I had scampi my husband had beef roast , definitely will return lovely place and very friendly , thank you ☺☺

Great pub, great food, great hosts, village spirit and community hub Everyone's more than welcome and bound to be looked after and have a great time and banter!

Caravan camping weekend at the Griffin. Nice small caravan and camping site in a lovely -, just out of village, location. Gary and Jo are excellent hosts and made us very welcome. Lovely home-made food and traditional ales in a traditional village pub. Lovely atmosphere and very, very dog friendly. We had a lovely Sunday roast lunch before returning home. This is one to keep on the list, we will certainly be booking another stay.

camping weekend in motorhome, made to feel so welcome by Gary and Jo, food was excellent . big thank you...

Muy amable nos hizo sentir de gary y jo tan agradable comida tan buena no puedo esperar hasta octubre, como, por 10 noches deseando ir

Acabamos de regresar a casa después de camping en el Griffin. Todo lo que puedo decir es un enorme gracias a Gary y Jo, desde la llegada hasta la partida que nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Su hospitalidad era excelente, un pub tradicional con...

Pasaremos por la zona alrededor de una vez al mes y a menudo necesitan para comer en el camino. Después de haber probado un par de sitios directamente en nuestra ruta, decidimos apartarse un poco en busca de algo mejor. Sin duda nos encontramos lo...

El Griffic Inn es el pub del pueblo británico que icónica nosotros los aficionados de asesinatos Midsommer conocen tan bien. Era un contraste interior agradable a la fría con un calentador de fuego en cada habitación. Teníamos jamón y queso y tomate precioso sándwiches tostados y una taza de té mientras mirábamos el mundo por las serpenteantes calles del pueblo.

I did not think these places still exist. I thought we all had to eat mass-produced food from major pub chains who have an evil plan to take over the world. Fantastic, welcoming atmosphere, happy locals, fantastic food, great Prices, lovely location, £15 camping. Don't expect an al-a-cart dining. Expect a lovely, well cooked, juicy streak, with home made onion rings and a nice pint served with a smile by a person wearing jeans. Five stars because you could not have done better. Well done. Thanks you.

An ideal overnight stop in the pub's campsite . £15 per night, all in for our Motorhome, three adults + 3 dogs. A very basic campsite with just five pitches, but they are large. A very friendly welcome from the hosts. Excellent for dogs as there's a field/play area directly off the pitches. We had an evening meal in the pub, which was really good and very good value too. The kitchen closes at 8pm but we were still accepted at 8:10pm. Thank you both. The gammon and the steak were especially delicious. The locals were very friendly which gave the whole atmosphere a nice and friendly feeling.

What brilliant camping weekend the weather was the best ever.There was about 50 of us and there and was everything we wanted.. Good beer and great service not forgetting the excellent food...we will be camping again next year....I will be looking forward to it.. Well done Gary...See you soon Roy...

Well cooked - reasonable choice for a small pub - nicely served by pleasant people - at excellent prices - Just what we were looking for!

The Griffin is a great old fashioned country pub. The food is great, the atmosphere is very welcoming and it's family friendly. You can't beat playing scrabble with the kids in front of the log fire. There's a great range of beers too. Recommended.

This is our local pub but we haven't been in for a while. I couldn't be bothered cooking so decided to give it a try as had heard good reviews on the food. It was lovely to see the pub bustling with people eating and drinking. The food came, freshly cooked, piping hot and very tasty. Service was excellent, food was excellent and value for money was excellent. We defiantly will not be leaving it so long to go back. Great work Gary & Jo.

Great local pub with amazing value for money food. Drinks and meals are cheaper compared to anywhere in the area but with no compromise on quality! Very good selection of lagers, craft beers and real ales. Owners are very friendly and welcoming.

What a lovely Sunday afternoon we all had there brilliant food and great beer.Our party was a about 20 and our food and drink came very fast..Go there you will love it.I wish I lived nearby... Enjoy we did... Roy from Wallasey...

The guiness cant be beaten they really know how to keep it. Friendly staff and this is how a pub should be run

A simple but varied menu, cooked superbly and served in a timely and friendly manner. Great beer too. A special mention for Gary who attended our every need and was very welcoming. A great pub that does the basics really well.

New tenants since we were last here, Gary + Jo', menu was basic pub food, well presented and well cooked. As there was only one veggie option, my wife had two starters which she enjoyed. Good selection of real ales on draught and bottles.Big plus is a 5 'van Camping Club CS at the rear. Really enjoyed our weekend at the Griffin, and we will definitely return.

Just had Sunday lunch at the griffin. CAN'T say I could be more pleased. The food was great, excellent prices and the staff very attentive, friendly and welcoming. THE toilets were spotless and they'd really made a bold effort decorating for Halloween. my kids enjoyed Phil, the bearded dragon and we walked out of there with Sunday lunch and 2 rounds of drinks, plus puddings all around for £45. say no more. we'll definitely be back again very soon. Well done, Griffin Rossett!

Have come here for a few evening meals now. Very nice pub which is dog friendly. The food is well priced, pub grub. Nothing fancy but very tasty. Really nice environment

Very friendly landlord nice pub , sandwiched were good but a later visit in the evening for hot food was disappointing.

Came here with family after a recommendation from a family member, the service its self was ok... The food was terrible didn't had half a bite and didn't touch the rest. Was really disappointed as travelled a while to enjoy a Sunday lunch here.

Turned up to watch a band Southbound. The music was fabulous, just my type (classic rock/blues etc.not too heavy, and certainly no techno crap!). A busy night very well supported by both visitors and locals.The beer was excellent, and no long waiting times.The only disappointment for me was that the music finished to early at 11.00pm. How dare licencing laws prevent the continuation of a great night.Oh well, look forward to the next one!. I have to say that Gary and Jo have done an excellent job of turning a pub that despite its charms was not a place I drank in regularly, into a warm and friendly local. Everywhere is spotlessly clean, and most noticeable in the gents toilets.To me that goes a long way. If the standards are exceptional in that area, I have no doubt that they are throughout.

Gutes Bier und Prima Essen sowie günstige Preise. Sehr freundliche Leute. Hinter dem Pub ist ein kleiner schöner Campingplatz mit sauberen WC/Waschräumen. Danke Gary.

We went on Sunday 14th August 2016 and enjoyed a wonderful Sunday roast dinner. 2 huge slices of roast beef with all the trimmings. Our dog Prince was made most welcome and given a dish of water and a biscuit.

Jo and Garry are perfect host and there pub is one of the best I have been. The beer is really good and if you are looking for a good pint should go to the Griffin. Will definitely be back to see Jo and Garry in the near future.

been out with a mate for a hike, on the way back stopped off , great welcome in the pub, choose something from the menu, was served fast, and was hot and delicious, will use again!

We stayed in a hotel a mile away and after reading the review for the pub we decided to have dinner here. Entering the pub I was so happy, it was an old style pub, nothing glamorous just a pool table, several tables and seats at the bar, my idea of a proper pub. Ordered a round of drinks and asked for some menus. I don't if it is because I work in London and live in Surrey that I thought the £17 we were charged for a 9" pizza, chilli con carne and fish and chips was very cheap that the meals weren't going to be that good (despite reading the reviews) but there was three empty plates at the end, we all really enjoyed our food. We normally come up this part of Wales once a year and will definitely be coming back to the Griffin again.

I booked this pub for a family meal of 8 and a baby. I only booked here because other more well known pubs near by couldn't accommodate us at last minute. I'm glad they couldn't because this is a great pub. They were able to reserve a table for us with 20 minutes notice, everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the couple running it to the regulars. This is also excellent value for money, good honest pub grub. It's a bit of the beaten track but definately worth a visit.

This is building up it to a very busy pub, Which can be expected as the new people are very welcoming to all. A good friendly night can be expected there, along with good "pub" grub. Come in and listen to the old men, (us 4) having a discussion why someone played that domino instead of the other one. Discussion ?????????????? bring your ear plugs. Seriously a nice welcoming warm country pub. Well done to Jo & Gary..

Gary and Jo make everyone welcome and have made this a lovely homely country pub. The Sunday Lunch is beautifully presented and recommend the wonderful Yorkshire Puddings and profiteroles as a pud.

Nice clean, warm and friendly country pub. Garry & Joe-Anne make all welcome. I believe they are about to start meals. We will be sampling them on Tuesdays, before our game of dominoes.

really good food nothing was any trouble will miss our trips out always ended up here and had a great meal all the best for the future will pop to your new adventure if we find out where all the best for the new owners

It is with deep regret I have to inform you that Amanda & Paul are leaving the Griffin to go to another venue. If they are still in the Wrexham area we will certainly try their food at that venue.

A small & cosy pub but, although plentiful, the food available is limited and the quality variable. Good beer, but the pub closes some nights which is inconvenient if you depend on them. We stayed on the campsite at the rear, but there are only three hard-standing pitches and the toilet block needs some attention. Could be better ....

My wife and I called in on Friday 6-15 ish. wanting a meal. Had a look at the menu, I was over heared talking about a garlic mains dish. by Paul the chef standing next to us he said he could do a chicken in garlic sauce for us, if we could wait for 15/20 mins. It was excellent, a generous helping of chicken, sauce and all the trimmings. Sorry we had no room for a sweet, but will return to challenge the chef again..

We, the Memsahib and I revisited this establishment after too long an absence, and several changes of ownership, to be greeted by a very attentive and pleasant landlady.The food was first class, quantity more than enough, the Mem not able to finish her main course such was the generosity of portions. on this occasion we elected to sample a starter and forego the desert! A wise choice as the starter was almost a meal in itself and freshly prepared as was all the food.The extra wait (not long) was well worth the effort & one can only wish the young couple every success in their new venture.

Just come back from visiting Rossett and visited this gem of a place.Paul and Amanda were great hosts and I had a great time so much so I returned the following night . I visited a few places in the area but this was by far the best I visited .I only wish I had ate there and hopefully if in the area again this will be first place in visit and will dine here as only heard good things about the food.

quiet country with good food real fires and always a smile excellent food again pub as it should be, we all say country pubs its a shame there going well all I can say is use them then great hosts great food top class beer at reasonable prices and hey ill be back

Stayed on the campsite on 21/8/15 originally for 2 nights for my 70th birthday get together with the family,before going to France for our hols.When we arrived changed to one night.The campsite was not worth the £23 a night for a cl.Where do I start,toilets and shower block dirty damp wet,no through ventilation in need of a good clean.Litter all over the place,the bins were overflowing,grass not cut,the place looked run down.I would think £10 or £11 would be more like it.Will we return no,and cash only no cards for the camping.We did have a meal in the pub which we enjoyed even though it was a bit overpriced.Plenty to do in Wrexham and Chester,some local shops in Rossett.

Stopped at the Griffin for our evening meal. Very friendly staff and a good selection of food. The meals were cooked to order with no pre packed same old same old rubbish. Noticed they had a caravan site as well. Will return with the van soon and use the pub for our meals.Well done to all the staff.

Popped over for an improptu dinner at the Griffin. We had the 3-2-1 offer. Black pudding stacks for starters, garlic chicken and steak pie for mains, chocolate pudding for dessert, plus a bottle of wine for less than £30. Whitebait for our 4 year old, plus a couple of pints of real ale, enjoying some late summer sun in the beer garden. Excellent. Paul and Amanda are lovely hosts, trying hard to keep a village pub part of the community. Keep up the good work.

4/5 courses reasonably priced. Booked for 8 people well organised, piping hot, on warm plates, cooked to perfection Paul & Amanda were brilliant nothing was to much trouble very helpful, no complaints, will go again

Came to stay in our caravan for the bank holiday weekend. Lovely warm welcome from Amanda and Paul. Lovely genuine people who will do anything for you. We had our evening meal on Friday night and where very pleasantly surprised by the value of their 3.2.1. deal. Three course meal for two people with a bottle of wine for £24.95 when pre booked. Paul is a great chef, served excellent food in very generous portions. My wife is particularly fond of the soup! Amanda is a great landlady, very friendly and always keen to provide a good service. The caravan site was full but still has plenty of space for everyone. Clean shower and toilet block with dishwashing sink for the campers. We will be back!!

Visited a few food and watering holes along my travels in august some good some bad and some didnt expect that well country pub it is with no tv blaring away and a proper landlady (yes a real landlady not a trying to be landlady) friendly locals and a home cooked menu.only popped in for a a few drinks then decided to stay and have some lunch saw a sizzling platter go past looked amazing smelt great so ordered one "WOW" tastebuds exploded didn't expect that tasted like it looked and smelt fantastic would highly recommend probably be returning soon to camp what a lovely couple

We camped here on a Friday and Saturday night. A good sized field and not at all full so we had a little corner to ourselves. The facilities are basic, but perfectly adequate for the price - plenty of hot water, toilet roll and soap in the loos, an effective shower and a sink for dishes, cleaned daily. The Griffin is about a 25 minute walk from Rossett (and the no. 1 bus route from Wrexham/Chester), though be cautious if you're walking with little ones or dogs as there's no pavement and a lot of blind bends.The owners, Paul and Amanda, checked with us regularly that we'd not been disturbed by the stag party also camping on the opposite side of the field, which we'd not been (I think they were at their most "laddish" when we were off site).The pub, like the campsite, is good value, friendly and no frills. Small and cosy, a mixture of locals and campers, with three real ales on draft when we were there. At £2.80 a pint, Amanda's own "Witches Brew" comes with our recommendation - delish! We ate there Friday night and had the carvery on Sunday. Despite a particularly meanspirted review further down this page, we can attest that the food IS homemade and good quality. Paul is keen to point out that they are a pub that does food, not a restaurant, so the menu isn't vast, and there can be a wait if it's busy, but he's really upfront about their limitations. We didn't have a wait at all and cleared our plates everytime. The steak and kidney pie was particularly good and the pork sizzler is a massive portion. MASSIVE! Good solid hearty pub grub. Nice tender meat on the carvery too which was particularly good value. Paul and Amanda are really nice, friendly and helpful hosts. It's clear that they want their customers to be happy (and their neighbours!), and they do everything they can to reasonably ensure this is the case, including managing expectations (that must be a balancing act with a stag party in residence but extremely well handled in our opinion). We had a great time and would definitely consider coming back. Thanks!

Spent a great evening at the pub - food was good value and the welcome was very warm. Hand pulled pints and some live music made for a really enjoyable time. Camping facilities also good but being woken by tractor in opposite field at 5 in the morning not so good - hopefully that doesn't happen too often!

We stayed there for 1 night in a camper van electric available owners couldn't be more helpful nothing wss too much trouble and the food and drink at the pub outstanding. Will be a definite for future visits to the area.Mark n Sharon Turner

Stayed at the caravan site for one night on our way to South Wales. Site is basic but has everything you need; electric, water, toilet/shower/washing up facilities. Paul and Amanda are a lovely couple and could not be more helpful and pleasant. Paul's meals are lovely and at great prices. We will be back! Thank you so much.

Excellent food changed the menu to satisfy our needs friendly atmosphere plenty of open space for children and an all round good place to visit

Part of a large group that attended a dinner. This pub is very small and can't really accommodate large groups very well. Very cramped. The meal was so so. The staff were friendly and very helpful. It was a Good atmosphere but I wouldn't go again for the food I have to say. It wasn't proper home cooked food. Tasted a bit like the bulk buy food places. Sorry Griffin Inn. Just my opinion...more like a pub you would call into for a drink.

Have been in The Griffin many times. Have always had a very warm welcome.The Landlord and Landlady can not do enough for you. They are soo friendly.The food is always fresh and tasty and very good value.Last week I asked if I could have a small buffet for a few people as it was my sons birthday. There was so much lovely food we even had to take some home with us. So if you are thinking of having a party or celebration I would not hesitate in recommending The Griffin as the place to hold it. The Sunday lunch is fab and a good price and very filling.

Lunch with mum n dad. Roaring fire. Warm welcome and great food. Sausage n mash....scampi n chips and I had bacon chop (the size of a gammon steak) egg chips n peas. All piping hot n cooked to a turn. Can't wait for done decent to come do we cn sit out in the beer garden..hopefully the birds will b singing as loud as today :)

Visited on saturday evening,and should have walked out as soon as we entered! Ordered at the bar with drinks and were told the food may be a bit longer than normal as it was busy,this by the way consisted of a table of 8 across from us, after 40 minute's the waitress laid our table and told us the food would be out next. After an hour my sister asked politely if the food would be much longer as it was now 8:30pm and we would have to leave soon, at which point the waitress/bar lady was far from civil and seemed annoyed that we,d asked her! After her attitude we decided we would cancel the order, the chef then came out of the kitchen and told us he was plating our food up as we were leaving. At no point was there an apology. Would not recommend this pub to anyone and will definitely not be returning.

Called in just after Easter. They only had a limited menu available, but the food was lovely, I had the gammon and my wife had plaice.The chef and landlady were really friendly and went out of their way to make sure that we were looked after. They even tempted me with the sticky toffee pudding which was tasty and light.Not fine dining, but if you like freshly cooked, good value, hearty meals then well worth a visit.

Another fabulous Sunday lunch carvery at the Griffin. Chef's homemade soup is lovely. Quality fresh meat cooked with care to accompany a variety of veg, mash and roast potatoes. Friendly staff did everything they could to make sure we where ok. We live about 10 miles from the pub and come to stay on their caravan site quite often. We met up with family today and where given a very friendly welcome. This is a lovely country pub that serves lovely food.

We had read good reviews on Trip Advisor but were a bit disappointed by the quality of the food - but the people were friendly

Another fantastic evening at The Griffin Inn. Lovely fresh food. Chef apologised for the delay in serving (which wasn't a particularly long time) but we were fine with it. We would rather wait a bit and have fresh food than microwaved food rushed out like you get in some places. One of the many plus points about this pub is the fact that there is no music blaring in your ear and no TV at ridiculous volume, so you can have a conversation at a normal volume. Definitely one of my favourite places locally to eat.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here last night to celebrate our daughters birthday. They had been away to Scotland for a weekend break and we're looking forward to a hearty meal after their long journey. The party consisted of 6 adults and 4 children. The owners did everything possible for us to enjoy the occasion and checked on us throughout the evening to make sure everything was OK. The food was very tasty and along with the wood burning fires made for a very cosy country pub. We had the sharing combo's instead of a starter and they were fantastic. The children also liked the idea of a sharing platter. The mains were also very substantial and tasty and consisted of two Steak and ale pies one Salmon two chicken sizzlers and a burger. They all came with various vegetables dips etc. the owners couldn't have been more helpful and we will definitely be calling again. We have had two meals this year previously to the party and again they were first class. Three of the children had their mains from the children's menu.

Staying at the near by Best Western and needed somewhere local to eat. Me and my partner went in pretty late and ordered 2 steaks from the menu and a mixed starter. Even though we ordered towards closing time we did not feel rushed or uncomfortable, the owners made us feel very welcome and like nothing was a problem for them. The starter was huge for the price and when the steaks came out we where shocked at how big the portion size was, the food was perfectly cooked and you could tell it was all fresh and home made. anyone looking for an authentic home made meal at a very good price make sure you check out this place. Great value for money.

Unplanned lunch with mum n dad. Scampi, fish n chips & steak n ale pie. Followed by sticky toffee puddings. Lovely welcome. Lovely service. Great food...the steak n ale pie should be renamed "half a cow with some pastry on top" !!! Brilliant. The sticky toffee pudding was a delight. So light compared to some of the stodge that gets served up in some pubs. Can't recommend highly enough :)

Brought the family here for a Sunday cavery, after being recommended by a friend. And was not disappointed. The service was great and the food was outstanding, with a good selection of meats. It's a lovely family atmosphere and a nice and cosy pub, with log burners in each room keeping it nice and warm for this time of year.The whole family enjoyed the experience at the griffin Inn, and will most certainly be returning again soon.

Booked a table for Sunday carvery and we were not disappointed.Plenty of succulent meat(ham.turkey and beef), Roast and mash potatoes,yorkies, a good variety of vegetables and tasty gravy.Just enough room for dessert which was also excellent. Very good value for money,a nice welcome on arrival, and very good waitress attention.Highly recommended. We will return.

The Griffin is the "Village Pub" in the hamlet of Trevalyn, a mile from Rossett.I have used this pub regularly when visiting my sister who lives in the area. It has always been a cosy (two log fires in winter) pub and we have had many a pre dinner (at home) drink in the pub, and also eaten there at least once during my regular visits.It has recently had a change of management and I met Paul and Amanda on my two visits this year.(O.K. Last year, between Christmas and New Year)The visit in question was made in the evening of the Sunday between Christmas and New Year, not the busiest night on the calendar for a village pub. We went in about 8.30 P.M. and there was but one customer at the bar.On asking if we were too late to eat, we would not have been surprised to get an affirmative reply, Paul said that he had just turned off the fryers but it would be no trouble to offer us a meal from a limited menu with a slight delay.This review is not about the quality of the food which was perfectly acceptable and probably better than the average pub for Scampi (my choice), but the cheerful manner in which the late arrival of customers asking to be fed was handled.Paul and Amanda are a lovely couple who certainly deserve to succeed with The Griffin in Trevalyn. Their plans for New Year's Eve included a free buffet for customers, and their Quiz Night, free chip butties. There is also a plan afoot to have a Burn's Night Celebration (to be confirmed)

Booked in her for Sunday Carvery and food and service where excellent price for food is reasonable would highly recommend

We booked a table for eight but unfortunately due to illness only four of us were able to go. The hosts were fantastic, the food was delicious, It was all fresh home cooked! We had three courses and were absolutely 'stuffed' when we left. The pub is very old but there was a log fire in one room and a gas fire in the other. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Called in while driving between appointments. Proper village pub. Was made really welcome by Paul and Amanda. Real fires.....real ales....real food. Camping site.....but a bit cold for that. I'll definately be calling again.

We booked a table for a Saturday night after reading the recent reviews on here.. Had lovely food with excellent service throughout the evening. Great value for money whilst refreshing that the owners genuinely care that you enjoy the food they serve... It's rare to eat in a pub where the food has all been cooked from fresh... There was also lots of choice & we could only praise the food at how amazing it tasted! We will definitely be visiting again soon.

This pub has recently been taken over, and it's the 2nd time I have been there in 2 weeks. We visited for an early evening meal, the fire was warming and very welcoming. The food was great,Nothing is too much trouble and the staff(Landlord and Landlady ?) are very friendly and welcoming. I would recommend eating here to anyone. I will visiting again for the Christmas menu which is available from 1st December

Went to this lovely pub today for a meal,food was gorgeous,staff are lovely and friendly and very welcoming...Lovely country pub with a lovely log fire, Definetly recommend it ...Christmas menu looks fab too..Shall be visiting again soon!

We went to the Griffin for my birthday meal and it was our first visit. 5 adults and 1 child and it was lovely. The landlords were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My husband had a double burger, all home made. My brother had the mega grill, but as he didn't like the egg, mushrooms and black pudding that were listed with the steaks, he asked them to leave those out, which they did but gave him extra meat instead. He really enjoyed the mega grill. Mum had the Cajun chicken which she said was lovely and dad and I had the Cajun chicken sizzler. The sizzlers were delicious and we all throughly enjoyed what tasted like home cooked food. My daughter ate every bit of her kids sausage, skinny fries and beans too which is unheard of for her! Her sausages were good quality ones, not the horrid rubbery ones that many places serve children. The chef came out and apologised for the delay in serving the food - what delay? We ordered at 5:25pm and had our food by 5:45pm. He said it was because they use fresh ingredients and he makes everything himself. We can vouch for that. The burgers were an irregular shape, consistent with being made by hand and the chicken had clearly been made fresh. It was all beautiful and we topped off with some fabulous puddings. The prices are very good and we will definitely be returning to the Griffin, especially as they offer a loyalty scheme. The atmosphere in the pub is walm and welcoming and has the benefit of not having music blaring loudly or a television on (they happily don't have a TV) so you can have a conversation without having to shout to make yourself heard. The landlords are quite new to the pub but they are very friendly and clearly take customer satisfaction seriously. I would recommend booking as it is a small country pub but definitely worth a visit.

Just been to the free food tasting evening and will def be going back as food was gorgeous. A lovely country pub with a warm friendly atmosphere.
