Gull Rocks Bar And Coffee House in Flintshire

Came here for lunch after a lovely time at the beach. Very poor menu choices, absolutely no vegetarian options which is a real oversight. Had the fish burger and it was very average and expensive for what it was. I asked for ketchup and the waitress said it would be an extra 40p, which for a pub seems unfair and a bit cheap on their part. Just offer bottles for the table. The Astro turf garden outside was tacky and sad, and overall I wouldn’t recommend this place. Sad because it’s prime location. It should offer a nice range of sandwiches at a better price point and it could be on to a winner.

Totally missing a trick ! Right on the beach such a shame it isn’t set up for all the passing trade . We called in at lunch time for a sandwich to be told we don’t have any bread and the menu for other food was very “ heavy” nothing lite for lunch time - only one menu pinned to a post for people to gather round . The staff seemed disinterested . We decided to leave .

Only opens fully when the schools finish for summer break. Closes at 6 PM daily. Food finishes at 4PM

Great location, unfortunately a lack of competition and alternatives nearby meant the standards were low. Drinks were fine, cream tea was not bad but hot food was seriously overpriced, poorly cooked and misleading. The foot long hot dog was a tinned hotdog hanging out of a 6 inch roll! Bacon on a burger was still fridge cold! Bar staff and food servers should have been embarrassed by what they are serving. Wish I'd taken a picnic and just enjoyed a drink here

We are coastal walkers. This is the only place we’ve ever been asked to pay for our water bottles to be refilled, under the premise that it goes to charity. One very rude dark haired, female member of staff. Food very average and ridiculously overpriced. Don’t go here it’s bloody awful !!!

Visited Holywell over several years and during this time the Gull Rocks has morphed from being a good pub(St Piran) into a bar/coffee house which now unfortunately closes at 6.00.That said however the staff are really friendly & the beer garden is a great spot to enjoy a Rattler cider. Didn't try the food but the drinks prices are fine,unlike the ridiculously overpriced Treguth pub up the road.

Great location on the edge of the beach facilities clean and tidy. We had cream teas which were spot on. Staff were friendly very quick service.plenty of outdoor seating with some undercover.

Burgers were undercooked, prices were insane for the quality of the food. Avoid at all cost!! Just head up the road instead.

Ordered the burger and chips. Not the best I've ever had but not the worst. For the price, you'd have thought it would have come on a plate at least. Staff were ok, whilst I was eating I could overhear people ordering and being told that they didn't have a huge amount of the food on offer for which I did see one family leave. The put off was the price and I won't be visiting here again

Popped in for lunch, bleak cafe vibe interior (doesn’t match the prices!) not to mention it was absolutely freezing cold inside. Menu is very small/limited a vegetarian or vegan would struggle here! I had the lamb kofta flatbread. Flatbread was so chewy I only ate half, salad on-top was obviously from a pre chopped bag and the lamb was cheap tasting as it was more herbs than lamb. My friend had the fish brioche roll, it was cold inside and looked like a frozen square fish burger you get from the shop. Also why does it come on a card box? But the kofta had a plate? You have to pay for ketchup & mayonnaise which is a joke and you have to donate £1 to have your bottle refilled! (Water is a legal requirement so I don’t know how they get away with this) £11 for a jacket potato with beans and cheese is laughable! PS: they obviously use other people’s food photos online…false advertisement yikes!😬 as you can see from my comparison LOL Shame because the 2 staff members were very pleasant and attentive 👍🏻

Stopped here whilst walking the Coast Path during a downpour. We were wet and cold and needed some refreshment, so decided to order some food and hot drinks. At 12:30pm all that was left was one pasty and one sausage roll, so that’s what we had. I swiftly went on line to sell my left kidney in order to pay the bill, expecting the pasty to be made from the finest wagyu beef, and the sausage roll made from the rarest wild boar, I also assumed that the paper bag they were served in would be embossed with platinum foil and tied with gold braid, sadly none of the above were true, and we ate our fairly bog standard pasty and sausage roll in a damp garden. There were no toilets, and were told to use the public convenience up the hill. Cold, hungry, unfulfilled and this business didn’t help at all. I won’t be back.

Lovely visit today after a stroll to the beach in the wind. We were welcomed and shown to our table. Ordering was easy and pleasant. Choice of cakes were excellent. Cream tea with warm scones an absolute delight. All the family were pleased we’d popped in. Even though my son made a mess and I asked if I could clean it up myself the staff reassured me that this wasn’t necessary and they didn’t mind clearing up the water. Great place to go.

Burger and chips were fine I thought.Some people on here moaning about the establishment not filling water bottles. Water costs money and so do staff.

Fab lunch stop on South West Coast Path. Great service. Simple pub food beautifully cooked. Thank you.

The staff were friendly and the food was good although there wasn't enough of it. I ordered spinach and ricotta ravioli with garlic bread which was £11 and there were only 8 of them barely covering the bottom of the bowl. I expected more for a pub lunch at £11 and I left there still feeling hungry. My husband had scampi and chips - also a small portion for £12. Definitely not value for money.

Called in for lunch whilst walking the South West Cost path. First concern was the sign next to the door 'We will not refill your water bottles! Please don't ask' We didn't actually need water but off putting. Inside a man was asking for change...

We have such a wealth of amazing restaurants and beach cafes in Cornwall, but Gull Rocks Bar & Coffee House is not one of them. We visited Holywell Bay for the first time and were appalled. To be greeted by a sign saying "water bottles...

Lovely location right on the beach front, customer service is somewhat lacking. I had a cream tea which was okay, had better, my partner had a snack of cheesy chips. There is a sign on the entrance advising they don’t fill water bottles which surprised...

Wandered off the beach for a bit of lunch but following the less than welcoming service from the bar staff we drank our drinks and decided to head up to The Smugglers Den to eat (highly recommended). As others have pointed out, the signage outside...

In the doorway there's a rude sign telling people not to dare asking for tap water refills. Why on earth won't you refill people's water bottles, especially in the heat of the summer? Everyone should be looking to refill and reuse wherever possible, rather than...

We had lunch at the Gull Rocks Bar and Coffee House after spending the morning on the beach. We were welcomed by the sign in my attached photo! Not a good start even though we didn't want our water bottles refilling, the sign was a...

I would have rated more as the coffee & cake were fine but the first sign I was greeted with was saying “we won’t refill your water bottles, so don’t even ask” As a walker on south west coast path this was enough to make...

Miserable staff. Never acknowledged my son as he went to pay for his items. Ice cream guy actually moaning about sauce on the ice creams and how he was removing it the following day-but I suppose when you’re charging a premium price for bland ice...

Called in on our way back from the beach for a quick pint and sat in the beer garden. Just after we ordered a drink the barman came over to tell us they were calling last orders (very strange at 6 in the evening). Five...

After a long journey down to Holywell Bay, we checked into Gull Rocks beer garden for some food with three hungry teenagers. They were offering an outdoor BBQ. We ordered burgers, chips and chicken nuggets. It turned out not to be a traditional BBQ but...

Popped in with my wife intending to buy a couple of pints during our coast path walk from Newquay to Perranporth. Saw the sign saying that water bottles would not be refilled. We were discussing the legality of that and coming to the conclusion that...

Visited here in July for a drink. Nice outdoors with plenty of seating and shade.only issue is that they advertise they don't refill water bottles, even at a price which I found d strange 🤔 Food looks nice as well 👍

We visited 3 times over a week in July and each time was served quickly, got a great outside table and enjoyed what we ordered. The breakfast baps were especially good. The location is brilliant as is the outside area. Suitable for dogs outside! The...

Visited and left an honest review. Just got a sarcastic, unjustified reply. As usual they want to dwell on the "we have a limited season so just want to milk it" excuse

We visited and ordered drinks & food. The main woman serving behind the bar was miserable and rude. I was given a flat bottle of Prosecco and politely asked if it could be exchanged. Despite acknowledging it was flat she refused to replace the drink...

Iced coffees are delicious and perfect to take down to the beach. I’d recommend the caramel frappe especially. Great, friendly service too :)

Food as grim as the staff! Chips were disgusting, inedible, tasted like they were cooked in gross old oil. The fish was possibly the oldest and most vile, disgusting piece of “food” ever presented to me. The who women serving drinks were incredibly unhelpful and...

Have been here numerous times pre new ownership (when it was St Pirans Inn) and much prefer it now. Good selection of food, the loaded fries are a must have. Good to be able to watch here, or just have a drink before or after...

Stopped here for breakfast a couple of times. Service friendly, quick and efficient, food absolutely fine.

Visited Holywell Bay on Sunday 24th Oct 2021 and decided to stop here for a bite to eat as it's right by the car park. Excellent service from the staff, friendly, polite helpful and nothing was too much for them. The food was amazing. Myself...

Great location and good food , staff are friendly. Great place to go for a pint and some food after a walk across beach . We look forward to going here again

Called in for a drink whilst touring around and found a very friendly welcome. The outside seating area was really well set up and the interior was really clean. Prices were pretty average. The menu looked limited but realistically priced, although I didn't eat what...

Stayed at Holywell bay caravan park so called here a couple of times when visiting the beach The first visit we had lunch wasn’t over impressed So on the second visit we had a cream tea yet again wasn’t impressed they put it in the...

We ate here while waiting for the arrival of friends. The staff, and understandably so, are incredibly worn out. My initial interaction with a staff member who started to serve me walked away and asked another to take over my order. Now I know most...

Amazing location, frozen bought food but okish. Typical Cornish attitude-Don't like their customers. Sitting on a gold mine if run properly.
