Peal O' Bells in Wrexham

Beautifully run family pub. Made to feel very welcome any day of the week. With a stunning beer garden and family staff it’s a must go to in North Wales. Surrounded by history it’s located right on the WELSH border. Highly recommend Be careful on the pool table though Very competitive and there can only be one champ 🏆

Nice open space with a good atmosphere, loads of choice, okay priced, would recommend

Fantastic family who own and run this great pub

Amazing atmosphere, quick service and lovely owners! Highly recommend

Brilliant family pub with a great atmosphere. Lovely people running the pub, lovely place.

Lovely atmosphere. And the staff are very polite. Toilets are very good quality. The beer garden in perfect

Great beer, great Sunday lunch. Ed very welcoming and knows his stuff re real ale

One of the best pub roasts I've ever had.

Popped in for sunday lunch and was not disappointed. Super friendly staff, excellent atmosphere, beautiful decor and the food is AMAZING!! Haven't been there before and will definitely be going back. Cannot rate it any higher to be honest. Most of all, absolute value for money! Thankyou.

One of our dogs insisted we call in today for coffee! She dragged us there and we were very glad she did. Lovely place, very hospitable host and great coffee at a good price. Nice to sit in the beer garden overlooking the church. Would definitely recommend.

Great menu, excellent choice to suit everyone, service was great and the food was lovely. There is lots of outdoor seating at the front and back and the church is at the back and pleasant to look at. The children loved the garden. Plenty of high chairs were available too. There isn’t a car park so you have to park on the road. There is a step to get in which wasn’t great for me as there were no hand rails but everyone else was fine!

Had the pie and was quite possibly one of the nicest meals I've ever had. Definitely be back.

Great find ! Sunday roast was amazing and service was so friendly. Highly recommend!

Fabulous beer garden. Didn't eat just had a drink. Friendly guy behind the bar. Will be back 😃

New owners great choice of beers friendly and welcoming nice to call for a beer after a nice walk dog friendly to 🍻🐕

What a fantastic pub! Food was delicious! Greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we stepped inside, it was clean, a well set out floor plan. Outside was a lovely well maintained beer garden. We were served promptly with a smile, we didn’t wait long for our food to be served, the steak and ale pie was the best I’ve tasted in a while, perfect ratio of filling to pastry 🥮 My sons burger looked amazing, and as a fussy eater, he demolished the lot, so that’s a compliment in itself! We’ll definitely be revisiting with family again

Popped in for an all day breakfast, went down a treat! Lovely pub, excellent food and service and extremely competitive price!! Definitely be back soon!

It's been great to have this local re open, popped in for a pint and ended up eating, food was great, plenty of choice and reasonable too. Efficient service & a nice beer garden too. Will return.

Since taking over the new owner, Ed, has created a fantastic village pub that has quick become a favourite of ours. The inside is fresh and inviting and the beer garden, with its beautiful views of the historic church, is one of the best in the local villages. We sampled the new menu and were both really impressed with the dishes and service. We’d heard lots about “the pie” and it lived up to all the recommendations. Ed, Tom and Dean have created a little gem here with a relaxed, genuinely friendly environment. Lots of veggie options. Baby and dog friendly.

Not very welcoming... needs updating

Only went to play a league pool game,but their chips and gravy were very very nice

Quaint country pub, good size chilled atmosphere

Sat outside...garden pleasant but could be really lovely. Quiet in the pub.

Great thing to do during lock-down. Really enjoyed the nicest Fish, fresh-cut Chips (non greasy) & mushy peas 😊 it was delicious. Only once so far, shall be back again! Thank you.

Walk pass last week sign outside saying sunday luncn only &9.00 phoned and collected all read in half hour. foods was all home made.THE WHOLE MEAL WAS LOVELY. and lots of it Will be back next week

Lovely meal for a friend's birthday, recommend this for sure

Delicious carvery,well cooked with a lovely variety of veg,generous portions,good value at 9 pounds for a medium sized plate.Friendly polite service.Nice beer garden so may return in the nicer weather for their homemade pizza.

Very nice sunday lunch , nice to see proper roast potatoes and not aunt bessies , will go again ,but my husband would like mashed carrot and swede , than roasted carrot ,

Dropped in for Sunday lunch, set is a carvery. Meat was perfect and the roast potatoes were the best I have had with a Sunday lunch in a long time.Decent selection of lagers including Laguanitas session IPA. I believe camra members visit this pub so the real must be decent. Will definitely return.

When you go out for Sunday lunch what do you want? Good food, good service and a quiet atmosphere. Well at the peal you get them all. The food was well cooked beautifully presented and the service quiet and attentive. The pub is small but that lends itself to a friendly atmosphere

Having just moved to the area we decided to explore.We came across a lovely pub that serve Sunday Carvery.The pub is cosy inside, staff are all very friendly and helpful and the carvery was spot on. All the food was cooked just right.We had the added bonus of the kids are grown up so didn't have them bickering with each other over lunch.We have added this pub to our favourites list.I would recommend this pub for Sunday lunch to everyone.

Very friendly staff and good choice of food and ales

Phoned last minute, table for two, Sunday carvery. Best home cooked meal you could wish for. incredible. Will certainly visit again,

This is a small pub, with Sunday Carvery. Couldn't stay as no were to sit other than stand at the bar. We did come in the summer and sat out in the garden which was very nice. A dog friendly pub

We visited today as a family of 5 and the food was lovely. Both the adults and children enjoyed it. The choice of meats today were beef and turkey accompanied by a variety of sides including; Yorkshire puddings, pigs in blankets, stuffing, roast potatoes, mash potatoes, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, carrots and parsnips. The service was also fantastic and we were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely visit again soon.

myself and my boyfriend visited the lovely Peal o Bells for carvery on the weekend, it was honestly the nicest home cooked carvery we have both tasted in a long time! served 12- 5pm (5pm being the last sitting) the food was still fresh and hot , we have been to various places around the wrexham and chesire area recently for carvery and it was all watery veg UNLIKE THE PEAL!! so fresh and tasty and extremely good value for money- we even had a dessert! thank you so so much Pete and Mags for the lovely service and tasty food and also the fab other staff too

We came for a family birthday to the Sunday carvery and was so incredibly pleased with the food and service. The meats of the day were so flavoursome and juicy and the veg was perfect with a brilliant variety.We have multiple allergies and the chef was very very understanding and accommodating. I can’t thank or recommend them enough.

Visited today, had the carvery and can’t fault it. Always a friendly welcome, quick service and cosy atmosphere. Everything was very yummy, the gammon especially- not even limited to how much veg you can eat. Would 100% go back for another carvery soon.

It's a great venue to play, the staff friendly, great atmosphere.

Every time we have eaten here it’s been gorgeous! So tasty! Perfectly cooked steak as everything else is! Amazing kind and helpful staff. Lovely cosy fire 🔥 and love that I can bring my little dogs in too! Love it 💕

Lovely welcome, very good customer service, very nice surroundings. Very nice atmosphere and excellent food!! Varied choice on menu, so will look forward to next visit & would highly recommend!

Lovely lunch again today. Lovely friendly people. Will be back soon.

Was very prompt and helpful with my gluten allergy. Catered for me with no worries and was making sure I had plenty. Only issue was the wait, took about 35 minutes for food and we hadn't ordered much. Still a friendly environment and had no issues with catering for me.

Brilliant night of entertainment

Really nice, friendly village pub. Good food menu, good selection of beers and Gins. Staff are really helpful and pleasant, loos are spotless, hosts are great company and all in all, the perfect experience of a good pub.

Lovely garden and friendly staff. The food was decent too

Went on a perfect summers day intending to have just 'one drink each' and ended up having a lovely afternoon with a drink or three instead!

Parked next to Farfon bridge and walked along the Dee. Visited Holt Castle before walking back to the car. Stopped in for a swift pint of Wainwrights on the last leg of this walk on a hot summers afternoon. Nice beer garden and even nicer shaded marquee to sit under with my pint

Lovely atmosphere. Beautiful quaint setting with in view and sound of St Chad's bells. Needs a little work on back as a beer garden . Very friendly, welcoming staff.

This pub is one of the reasons we're planning to go back to Holt. Great atmosphere and food, and I fell in love with the beautiful old church behind the gardens. Peal on!

Great to see such a nice pub. Really Friendly little local.

Went on a quiet mid week evening. Good range of beers available. There are themed food evenings and Friday nights, they have gin deals on. Food was very reasonably priced, good helpings and tasted good . All in all, an enjoyable supper. I'll certainly go back there.

Great range of ales. Lovely outdoor space.

Best Cottage Pie ever, and a very lovely place with god service, lovely people and really worth a visit.

15 minutes to get served.....10 minutes to use the toilet. Not good. Understaffed with not enough facilities. Hostile locals.

Beautiful food and exceptional staff

Great selection of beers and warm friendly welcome

Staying at Farndon nearby and called into the newly reopened peal of bells. Looked like a locals pub that does food. It was pie night on Tuesday so I had chicken and leek pie with mash and green beans. It was really lovely. Hubby had steak and ale pie with real chips and green beans and he said it was nice. The landlady was the chef and the lady behind the bar worked so hard running the bar, taking and delivering the food and clearing tables.

Brilliant pub with amazing hosts Mags & Pete & Luca behind the bar can't wait to go back & try the cocktails unfortunately I was driving as went here for a meal which was gorgeous. Well done keep.up the good work

I came in here Friday night with some friends for drinks and had a great night. I’ve been staying in the area to look after my parents dog, they told me about the Yorkshire pudding wrapped roast dinner and I could not wait to try it! I went on Sunday and unfortunately the kitchen had closed! I was made to feel so welcome so stayed for a drink, they then did it for me on a Wednesday before I went home so I could try it! It was amazing! They do it to take away too!

Lively old style pub, great selection of beers.

Love going there. Good food and good service. I feel like family and I belong. Excellent place

Great food and atmosphere, priced well. Beer is excellent. Would be great to get out in the summer in the garden out back. Excellent landlady and landlord. Recommended

Great food and very friendly staff. Will be back very soon. Can recommend the steak and homemade chips.

Excellent customer service, great selection of food and drinks

First time visiting this pub last night & I really enjoyed it, staff was so friendly & the place had a great atmosphere, will definitely be back 👌

Was pleasant surprise. A proper pub, with good atmosphere, decent service in a nice environment. Good pub food at pub food prices rather than ‘gastro pub’ prices. Great option if you are in the area.

Just paid my second visit here. Both times, food has been excellent. It is reasonably priced, with a good choice on the menu. The atmosphere is very family friendly, and the staff are very attentive, without being overpowering. Looking forward to my next visit

We have visited the Peal of Bells in Holt numerous times since discovering the place a few months ago and now consider ourselves to be regulars.

New landlords have been in nearly a year and first time we have eaten in there. Landlord welcoming when we arrived and good service. Lasagne was obviously home made and tasted delicious. The only thing missing was a green salad which is a

Attended here on the 9th of August, this is a proper pub with plenty of community spirit.

went here for a 50th birthday, staff were fantastic and went out of their way to make it a special day. food is excellent and reasonably priced. very nice atmosphere and great beer garden. will definitely go again.

I attended this lovely little gem on father's day my dad had the liver and onions and I had roast beef dinner with my mum enjoying vegetable lasagne. We couldn't fault it. The meal was all home cooked and one of the best roast dinners I have eaten out any where. If you love home cooked food this is the place to go. The service was friendly and attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our meals either. There was no rush for us to leave. We will be visiting again soon without a doubt.

A lovely village pub with great hosts lovely food and a good choice of ales and beers. Wouldn't hesitate to go again

A nice size village pub with a decent sized beer garden. The selection of beverages is quite varied and the staff are really friendly too.

Good landlady very good at her job know how to run a pub

Lovely pub and great food. Pleasant staff and great atmosphere. Football on tv and cold beer. What more could you ask for.

A quiet country pub near to the river, offering a range of beers plus a typical pub menu. The roast lamb was good.

Thought we would give it a try as it has good reviews on here. Walked in. Two chaps at the bar sipping ale. No staff to be seen just dirty tables. Waited 5 minutes no one appeared so we left. It smelled of old chip fat. Definitely don’t bother

I enjoyed a New York burger tonight. The burger was large and meaty, the bacon (two slices) was thick, smokey and tasty, the bun was a large fresh Welsh/English bap, the slaw was obviously homemade and lovely, healthy and crunchy, the onion rings were lovely and crunchy, the chips were hand cooked, crisp and wonderful. The beer was Brew Dog on draft, with many other options for those who do not like. I have not enjoyed a pub meal so much in Holt or Farndon for some time. The landlady and her husband were most welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend The Peal for traditional pub food in either bar or bar/restaurant areas.

I've been here a few times in the last month or so and have been really impressed. 2 cask ales kept perfectly, good lagers and2 craft beers; Punk IPA and Lagunitas.

Pleasant staff and atmosphere. Not too expensive. TV s all over not too sure about that.

Best beef burger ever and real chips

Lovely place. Great back garden (massive) has a childrens play area. An amazing view of the church. Lovely inside, cosy, warm and friendly.

Just spent the evening here. What a lovely place, staff friendly and welcoming. I ordered the fish with home made chips and mushy peas with sticky toffee pudding for afters and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Will definitely be revisiting.

We booked a table for 10 but had to wait ages for them to be ready for us. The pub was full of kids running around screaming.

This has had another change of ownership but still retains its relaxed feel. The location is excellent, next to the church and within easy walking distance of the river and the remnants of Holt Castle (if you want to see the rest of it, it was nicked to build Eaton hall. residence of the Duke of Westminster).

Lovely relaxed surroundings and friendly staff. The chicken roast was delicious and came with plenty of tasty vegetables. Only comment would be it would have been nice to have some stuffing

We were recommended this place by a local and he was right it was lovely

Looks lovely since it has been done out although they forgot to do the toilets. The beer garden is great for a sunny afternoon, it has a bouncy castle for the little ones. Cant comment on the food as we didnt eat, maybe next time!

What an improvement and change to this lovely restaurant in Holt. We visited on a Friday evening and had a warm and friendly welcome. Lovely staff who had great customer service. We had visited 'the Peal' before on a number of occasions but it has...

Me he enamorado de este pub. Realmente preciosa estética, con un bonito campestre toque moderno y limpio. Perro amable, siempre un ganador! Asado increíble domingo, tuve la carne y era preciosa. Tamaño de la porción es muy bueno, perfectamente sazonada y gran roasties. El postre...

Heard the place had had a makeover so we went with the intention of having a meal but we were met with arrogance and incompetence (obviously new staff) when we asked the owner if there was still a pool table here we were told in very abrupt manner that if we wanted a pool table we should go somewhere more suited to our social standing, will never go in again!!!! VERY disappointing!!

Este Bar/Restaurante se ha dado una renovación recientemente. Fuimos a comer el domingo y fue una buena elección, con precios razonables. Las porciones de verduras eran muy grandes y un poco abrumador (y tenemos buenos gustos! ). La calidad era buena y el servicio era excelente. En general, es agradable tener este revivido 'local' del año 1.913 y volveré.

Acabamos de regresar de una tarde muy agradable en el Peel O'Campanas en Holt. Esta fue nuestra primera visita, pero sin duda, volveremos. El restaurante era cómoda, acogedor y bien presentado. El personal muy amable y servicial, pero lo más importante es que la comida era fabuloso! La única cosa que fue una pena que no había más personas en disfrutar de esta joya.

My partner and I decided to try this place out on New Year's Eve as it has recently been taken over. The location is great, the service at the bar was good and the layout is nice and airy. The prices of the drinks was OK albeit slightly steep. The cleanliness needs improvement - tables were sticky and the toilets were not cleaned to an acceptable level. The music was a bit too loud and not to our taste - one wouldn't expect a place like this to be playing trashy rap music. Unfortunately, this experience has put us off going again to try the food; quite dissappointing as I believe the same people run Cleopatra's Coffee Shop just round the corner which is much better. We expected a bit more class from here - it has the potential to be so much better.

Looking forward to sampling menu. Starters delicious Prawn in ginger and dipping bread. Others had mushroom and mackerel which they enjoyed. However main course disappointing. I had chicken in coconut milk sauce. Sauce had lovely flavour but chicken tasted as if it had been cooked separately no flavour and over cooked at edges query microwaved. Friends had goat cheese chicken which again was sauce with chicken with no flavours and another had chilli which was very bland. To disappointed to try a desert. We were a table for 4 and only another couple eating. Music from Andy Scott was good but too loud we couldn't talk to each other so left before 2nd half. Disappointed as expecting same quality as Cleopatras

This is a fantastic little pub with lovely cocktails a fantastic wall of gin, mouth watering food and premium largers, with friendly and welcoming staff, also dog friendly and live music every Friday evening fantastic venue

Lovely Contemporary decor, great new food options, including Coconut Chilli Chicken, Frengo Salmon, or Double Stacked Burgers! They where all delicious, friendly staff and awesome cocktails beside regular bar drinks! Going back to try there Homemade Sunday Roast!
