Leyland Arms in Denbighshire

The Layland Arms deserves all 5 stars! The food was absolutely sublime, with every dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The staff were amazing, offering impeccable service and making us feel right at home. It was a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

A beautiful run out from weekend stay in Ruthin to an amazing little village with a fantastic pub for lunch. The dinner was one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve ever had topped off with the most amazing gravy which the waitress kindly brought out another jug full. Definitely come again

We had a lovely bank holiday lunch and the food was amazing, the service was very friendly and helpful. The beer garden was perfect with beautiful views! The bar/ resturant was very clean and tidy with a homely feel. Kid friendly and very inviting. Parking was super easy and free. Would highly recommend!!!

The best local pub with amazing food and great hosts. This it what a local Pub is about. Visit and enjoy a pleasure. Great burger and stunning Sunday lunch. It’s as experience that you have to live! Thanks

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch. We were a party of 10 celebrating a Diamond Wedding and nothing was too much trouble. We had a 3 course lunch and everyone’s dishes came out at the same time. The food was delicious, especially the king prawns. And what a dessert menu!! We asked for a few modifications to our dishes which caused no problems. Drinks were flowing. All the staff were really lovely and helped towards an amazing celebration. I would definitely recommend The Leyland for amazing food and ambience (and loos!)

Very disappointing! My husband ordered the Cod dish off the Valentines menu, the piece of cod loin was about 2” a very small portion. The chicken supreme with white sauce was terrible I couldn’t eat it. The sauce was paprika and the chicken coated in a Cajun seasoning! Definitely not a chicken supreme! They did not charge for this! Would not recommend this place!

We’ve been quite a few times now and tried many meals. So thought it was only fare to do a review. You will never leave this place hungry or unsatisfied. So much care goes into the prep if each meal. The Sunday lunch 😍 so tasty and obviously great produce too. My favourite has to be their beef burger though. Wow absolutely lovely. The staff are always friendly and it’s always nice to see a boss get stuck in. The lady is beyond helpful, friendly and seems to look after her staff very well. See you again soon.

We booked last week for Christmas lunch . We all ate the roast dinner , I had Turkey , absolutely delicious, everything was really good , there where 6 in our group , we all thought it was excellent. Will definitely return , food was outstanding. Beautiful village pub , great staff , very good service .

This is a very lovely pub with fires in both rooms. The girls who served us were very friendly and the food was really good with large portions. But sadly they didn't have any gf bread which they said they did , so I couldnt haven't any of the starters I wanted which was all I wanted to eat. Also we were charged £2.50 for a hot water with lemon which I felt was very steep (which I have never bn charged for be4 anywhere else). Its a shame as we had to argue to take this off the bill and the attitude we got from the manger was shocking. Its really sad as I would recommend this place on lots of levels but because of having to argue about the lemon which was very short sighted of her as we definitely would have gone back and as my friend lives close she would of gone back too. If money is an issue I suggested charging for the cauliflower cheese as this is an added bonus people would pay extra for. I wish you well but dropping the attitude will help alot with your customer facing business.

Fantastic oldie pub with great character fantastic staff Jan was so helpful and seating 12 adults and 3 children for Sunday roast cauliflower cheese was amazing

On holiday in the area and popped in to see if we could book a takeaway Sunday Roast Dinner and Dessert. Extremely friendly staff and dinner was delicious. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely little find down a country lane. We were staying 4 miles away and with nothing local and no take away deliveries in the area we came across the Leyland Arms. We were welcomed and opted to sir outside. Service was efficient and friendly. We ordered a bottle of wine and starter/main and the food was incredible. The steak was cooked to perfection and those chips... to die for. We sat outside in the sun with animals in the back field it was all very idyllic. Couldn't praise this place enough and we will definitely be returning when we are in the area.

Lovely food, good value for money, friendly & attentive staff. Beautiful scenery. Great for children also.

Very friendly and welcoming pub. The staff were very accommodating to our little granddaughter. The food was excellent, home cooked and delicious. Lovely village pub which is well loved and used by the locals. Lovely old building and great staff.

Another lovely meal at the Leyland. Great Service and atmosphere. Thank you Jan , Roy and all your staff. Will be back soon

You walk into what appears to be a small bar area that opens up into large Restaurant. The staff were super friendly and informative as we are visitors to the area. The food was home cooked, delicious and presented beautifully. This place was a real find and if you happen to be in the area well worth a visit. There was a children good children’s menu too!

Stopped by on spec as decided to go home via the back roads. Fantastic decision! Lovely log burner that kept us warm, and a fabulous Sunday lunch. My wife had a veggie wellington and I had the belly pork. Couldn’t fault it and will be back! Diolch yn fawt

We booked for a table of six saturday lunchtime. Leyland Arms is a beautiful old pub, full of charm, in a rural setting. Lovely warm welcome from Jan & Roy. Food was great & enjoyed by us all. Lovely waitress who looked after us very well. Really looking forward to another visit sometime soon!

Service was terrible waited 55 minutes for meal then they forgot starters had to wait again.when main meal came it had been reheated.Veg very very hard meat ery poor.

Walked from our air bnb here and it was really lovely! Very welcoming staff. The land lady Jan was so helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend if you are in the area! The beer was great too!

Excellent service, very friendly and accommodating country pub. We all had starters, mains and desserts, and all were very tasty. The perfect amount of food all with plenty of flavours. Good choice of real ales available. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Food was excellent, great quality. I enjoyed the service too. I feel like they should big the food up more on the menu as it deserves it.

Beautiful venue, excellent food, welcoming hosts. We enjoyed our evening . Peaceful relaxing atmosphere. A hidden gem. We will be going back soon.

Just had the most delicious Sunday lunch here. Generous helpings of tender roast beef with delicious yorkshire pud, crispy roast potatoes, parsnips and usual veg. Warm and friendly service too.

Loads of history, part of the Naylor Leyland country estates, a wonderful characterful pub with great food in either the restaurant or the bar, good selection of fine ales and wines, hosts Jan & Roy are great company and provide a warm welcome within a great setting. On certain Sundays you can watch the local cricket team playing on the green across the road and sit in the sun filled garden area, a superb country inn with great atmosphere and real fires in the winter.

Visited Sunday. Am not local, but staying in Llanelidan,so not sure what to expect. Not one bit disappointed. Staff and Management couldn't do enough for us. The food was delicious. I had beef which was cooked just right and my partner had Belly Pork which he very much enjoyed. He also enjoyed the beer he had. Did two courses. Didn't have room for pud...though they did sound delicious. Excellent value. The building itself is really lovely. Stone floors and little nooks to sit in. We ate in the restaurant part which worked well. Added bonus for us. We were not driving so could relax fully. Beautiful setting. Will definitely visit again.

Beautiful slow roast belly pork, crisp roast potatoes, divine stuffing, nicely cooked veg, great gravy. Absolutely ACE lunch... I could not cook it better myself. Lemon cheesecake a proper baked cheesecake with delightfully sharp lemon topping. Fabulous food, great service, pretty location, brilliant value for money.

This was the local pub to our rental cottage. So we are two evenings - first had booked but tried pot luck on the second night.

My friends and I walked in after a long walk and we were drenched. I was immediately offered a towel as we settled on our chairs for a well earned drink . Thank you so much Janet , Sunday lunch booked in and really looking forward. Sometimes a kindly touch makes such a massive impact .

A friend recently had a retirement party here, the buffet was amazing. staff are really friendly and helpful, they go above and beyond to accommodate everyone.

We wondered into the Leyland Arms and had the most fabulous steak ever. Staff friendly, beer refreshing and a very cosy atmosphere. I can’t rate this pub enough, we’ll definitely be back.

A lovely traditional, historic building typically next to a pretty Church.

I was introduced to this Gastropub by friends and was enchanted. The Landlord and his wife are extremely friendly, the setting is idyllic and the history of the place fascinating. The menu was inspired which is not always the case these days. I was very impressed and will bring other friends from Ruthin and Llanfwrog, where I live. Definitely 5*.

Stayed in the village for a week and would have a couple of pints each evening. On Friday had their steak night special which was very generous and good quality steak cooked as ordered.

We went to this pub on a rainy Sunday afternoon for lunch with 6 adults and 2 children and nothing was too much trouble. Great food and very reasonably priced. 2 course Sunday roast for £14.95 and large menu if a roast isn't wanted. Very child and pet friendly. Great little local pub.

proper pub with good food, great atmosphere and friendly staff!

what a lovely welcome we had from Janet staff very helpful and the starter where amazing and we all had fish and chip where amazing to we will go back all the best to you all

Lovely family friendly welcome :) staff couldn't be more accommodating! Such a lovely setting kids were happily playing on the grass while we chilled on the picnic benches - food was lovely! Kids ate all and even had ice cream cone for pudding which they loved! we have already booked to go back on sunday :)

We've been going there for a drink recently as there are new tenants (Jan and Roy) now there. A very friendly welcome in a beautiful quaint country pub in a country estate setting. Extensive outdoor seating in the great weather we are now having on well kept attractive grounds. The Sunday lunch was to die for at only £10.95 forthe generous main course. I had a melt in the mouth square of belly pork and Bryn had chicken breast which was also very tasty.

Leyland arms welcomed us a party of 14 warmly . The service was friendly and prompt . Food tasty and well cooked locally sourced meat . The children happily played on play field . Thank you to all at Leyland Arms

There were four of us and we visited on a Friday evening recently. We all had steak which we thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent value for money and a very warm welcome from Jan and Roy. Good luck in your new venture, we will certainly be visiting again soon.

We visited The Leyland Arms and enjoyed their Friday night Steak Night. The hospitality was great and the steaks delicious! A lovely setting too!

We went for curry night and so happy we did as it was best curry ever. Unfortunately there were no sweets on offer but since then the landlord has apologised for this and said due to him being away that week this caused a problem. There are sweets and they are a great end to a great meal. The curry was £6.50 including Nan breat poperdom and chutney. For another £1 we had a wine or beer such great value. Looking forward to steak night and a return for curry night.

Thought we’d give it a go. Never been before . It was lovely. Old pub in quaint village . Excellent staff.

Great pub food, my husband said the best mixed grill he'd ever had, and he's had a few! Lovely staff, good value and lots of room for the kids to run round :)

We decided to visit The Leyland Arms pub after friends of ours recommended it and boy are we glad we did !! It was the Sunday of the August Bank Holiday and we arrived to find a Marquee set up in the lovely courtyard with...

One evening we went for just a drink, the landlord was very welcoming. The following night we went for dinner. They only do food Thursday to Sunday. So on a Thursday night there is handmade pizzas or burgers. The portions were large and cooked well....

My husband fancied a trip to the Leyland Arms Llanelidan where they do different deals on different nights of the week! Friday night is steak night - 2 steaks and 2 glasses of wine for £25! It is a typical country pub situated just opposite...

Terry was immensely accommodating for our lunch, especially when the numbers kept changing and he already had a big lunch coming after us. A perfect beef bourginone and so understanding about the wine. Many thanks for making our day that bit easier.

We have been a couple of times to the friday night Steak Night. The food was excellent, steak cooked as requested, which does not always happen in different establishments, but here it was done to a turn. My only issue was the ambiance, the pub...

We have visited here on quite a few occasions,always a warm welcome from both landlord,staff and local customers. Good quality steak dinner and lovely surrounding,relaxed atmosphere,well worth a visit.beautiful garden area .

Booked for a Friday night Steak for 2 Night, £22.50 inc 2 glasses of wine.Not disappointed, steaks,service and friendliness on the evening were excellent. Well worth a visit

Two real alesLovely meadows/gardensAmazing flagstone (slate, I think) floorsTV, impressive dining roomGood parking and reasonably easy access

Real gem of a place,landlord and landlady on the first time we visited were very welcoming .they showed us round there lovely pub and restaurant,we have been a few times since our discovery.the food is especially good value and top quality, the steaks on Fridays is a real bargain @22 pounds for 2 people and 2 gasses of wine. and i kid you not iI would have still been happy if it was twice the price (hope they don't read this and put them up)

Called in with friends on a Friday night which is steak night, we were recommended to book in advance!The pub is a beautiful old building set in amazing gardens, the bar area is warm and cozy and the staff friendly.Good selection of foods and they have an offer with 3 course meal and wine on the steak nights which is good. Steaks are all cooked as ordered so this is one place that can actually cook a medium steak!This is a nice friendly pub with great food and well worth going out of your way for!!

Thank you for a lovely time at the pub - party of 12 and we were looked after all evening. Lovely wine, steaks, and other meals. The shooting room was a great space for us. Lovely location.

We stopped here for dinner on one of their Friday night Steak offers. The pub sits in a really tranquil spot in the hamlet of Llanelidan and offers real ale and great value home cooked pub food. The steaks were lovely, well presented and very tasty. The burger 100% pure beef and topped with bacon and cheese was spot on too. The only thing that let the experience down was the free glass of red wine with the steaks... it was like drinking vinegar and was nothing like the glass of red we paid for... In this day and age that really shouldn't happen and was a shame as everything else was good.

Visted Friday evening 13/5/2016 with friends, Great host in Terry, great food and drinks, very nice relaxed place.

This was our second visit. Wow the service was fantastic. The landlord was exceptionally welcoming and nice. A good host. the meal was beautiful a 10+ 5 *****We had the steak and chips. followed by a crumble and custard. The steak was thick juicy. The chips were really lovely. There was a choice of sauces. The atmosphere was fantastic. there is a log fire. it has everything that meets our criteria for a pub. It is a really beautiful building. spotless. The price of the meal was very reasonable and the food is of a excellent quality. We really loved it. I can not believe the pub is only a 10 min drive from our house. Only sorry we had not been before. It is in a excellent location. It is run extremely well. The staff are wonderful. It is a real classy establishment, but it has a very relaxing atmosphere.

Sunday day out with friends, great area for kids to play whilst we enjoyed a glass or two of wine, lovely food, wine a bit pricy but great choice, so all in all a great afternoon out xx

Was absolutely disgusted at the managers conduct. He was downright rude to members of our party. Tickets stated disco and Buffett starts 7.30 but no food was put out until 9.15. If this is the norm then it should have stated it on the ticket. It was definitely not worth the £10 charge. Would recommend that the manager learns some people skills as this what spoiled the night for us. There was no putting the customer first to try and accommodate us better.We will definitely not be returning to this establishment again unless it changes hands

Me and my family visited this pub for the 70s 80s 90s night! Lovely place but a shame about the landlord! Complete idiot! We paid £10 per ticket for the party and buffet the tickets stated from 7.30 by 9pm the food wasn't ready! So we asked because we had children with us it was gettin late for them to eat and they were hungry! Asked the landlord what time food would be! He was very rude for no reason what so ever! Says a lot when his own staff said he wasn't a very pleasant man! Couldn't fault any of the staff bar him! He ruined the night completely and we couldn't wait to leave! We will never return to the pub! Only if it was under new management! Shame really he needs to learn from his staff very unprofessional. The buffet wasn't all that either! Complete disappointment.

Went for dinner Good Friday with my 7 year old son as we were camping just up the road. Booked a table and returned an hour later, what an excellent experience for us both. Food was tremendous, good portions and excellent quality. Owner/Manager gave us exceptional customer service and kindness. Thank you and we will definitely be returning, highly recommended!

On arrival we was greeted by very friendly staff, we was shown to our table which was in a lovely little room with a blazing log fire. After a short wait the food arrived and it was absolutely out of this world, it was presented beautifully, it was hot and Home made and it tasted delicious, I was full to bursting and still didn't finish it all. I recommend any one to try this hidden little place you won't be disappointed.

We ate here with family and 2 friends on a Sunday about 2pm. The roast dinner was good although the plates weren't warmed so by the time the whole table was served the 1st plates to come out were coldish. The only thing I would say is if you're taking kids there, make sure you don't eat in the bar area or let them go near there. The local drinkers are quite generous with their expletives and aren't conscious of strangers/diners standing next to them. Although I made shocked eye contact with what appeared to be the Australian landlord, he chose not to correct his customers. You have to take this narrow route to use the loos! Otherwise a lovely venue and location.

Booked beforehand with the manager, very nice man. Went on a Friday with daughters and grand children, girls had their favourite, cajun chicken and we tried 2 steaks for £20. Excellent food and great value. However no childrens menu. Maybe this could be addressed. Waitresses very polite.When we finished our meal, went to sit near bar area. Very disappointed with foul language from 3 persons seated by the bar, which got louder as the night went on. Bar persons seemed to accept this.I don't think this acceptable in a family orientated pub.However we will return but stay in the dining area!!Well worth a visit

Visited the area for a few days, staying at a friend's little bolt hole. They recommended the Leyland Arms, telling is it's their favourite pub in the area. We've been here twice in as many days and eaten here both times. Landlord and staff are very welcoming and were happy for our black labrador to be off her lead, wandering the bar saying hello to everyone. A very relaxed pub with great food. We are here as I write, watching the rugby World Cup final and nothing is too much trouble, every effort is being made to ensure we enjoy our time here (we even have the TV remote)! The landlord tells us he has two other pubs, I think the experience shows and we'll be sorry to head home tomorrow. Stunning location, great walking, fabulous pub. I really wish this was our local!

Came across this place purely by accident. Set in a lovely village setting, overlooking a country village cricket pitch (could be a great setting for a midsummer murder!). Interesting building, a very friendly owner who took the time to explain the additions to the building. Dogs are welcome as the floor in the bar appeared to be slate. Nice founds for children. The food was excellent, though my husband had a burger he said it was the best he had ever had! I opted for the cider battered haddock. It was delicious and the home made chips were ace. This was good value pub grub in a nice setting and a pub//restaurant whose bar takes you back to the way bars used to be despite the television and sky sports which has its own appeal!! Attentive bar maid/waitress (very pleasant) will definitely return with friends

The food on offer here is excellent.We have visited twice and during the weekend they offer proper man sized steaks and all the trimmings with a glass of wine for £10 each. Ours was beautiful.We went again for my birthday the next week and took the family for Sunday lunch and the food was perfect.

Went here on the 23/08/2015 on the recommendation of some friends. Me and the wife had the Sunday lunch. There was a choice of beef or pork. I had the beef and wifey had the pork. Both arrived piping hot after a slight wait, around 30 minutes. On our plates were four decent slices of meat, large Yorkshire pud, roasted potatoes, roasted parsnips, roasted beetroot and caramelised onions with a decent amount of gravy. They than brought a dish of cabbage and small pieces of fried smoked ham, peas and leeks in a creamy cheese sauce and carrots and swede mash. The combination was really fantastic. Waitress service was second to none, very polite without any intrusiveness. This was one of the finest Sunday lunches we have had in a long time. Yes, there is a slight wait for you food, but well worth it. One great point was that none of us heard the dreaded microwave ding !!!! and it tasted like it was freshly cooked. £25:50p for two very good lunches and two large cokes - very very reasonable. You get what you pay for. Well recommended - will defiantly go again. Well done all at the Layland Arms

Lovely pleasant experience with good value plentiful food. Landlord very amiable and deserves to do well. Pleasant waitressing staff. Will definitely visit again and would recommend anyone to give it a try.

Went here with a family party. Had to wait ages for our starters. My Thai fishcakes- one was cold and I doubt it had even seen the frying pan. The other was just OK. The sauce dip was obviously just poured out of a bottle. My Cajun Chicken although tender was bland with a bland sauce poured over but the redeeming part was the chips which were very nice and tasty. The wine list was in the process of being sourced from a different supplier so we had the choice of 2 bottles of red (same) and one of white. We had all three! As this was on the Friday I hope the Manager nipped down to the Off-Licence or Supermarket to stock up for Saturday. Sorry but I don't think we will bother going again even though it is not far from us.

We were staying locally to this establishment so having seen it advertised we decided to try it. On arrival we asked if they could serve us, 8 adults and 2 children, and after checking with the chef were told yes and shown into a room with 4 tables. The young lady was very helpful and explained what was not available but we didn't mind and ordered roast of the day. The food did arrive a bit disjointed but we appreciate that there were 10 meals so it's not always easy. At this point a man arrived and sarcastically apologised for the service and said it would have been nice if we had booked then left the room,closing the door on us! We all felt very uncomfortable at his rude comments especially as we had asked nicely first if they could serve us. On paying the bill he commented again saying next time please book. What a shame his advertising doesn't advise booking first or the large sign outside the pub saying FOOD! We could have saved ourselves a very unpleasant experience. We will not return........ Booking or no booking!
