Pen Y Bont Farm in Flintshire

Pen Y Bony is a Marston's pub with two personalities. One part is perfect for young families and parties in the new build section and the other, in a characteristic converted old farm barn, is perfect for folk who enjoy a quieter eating experience. The staff are lovely and the menu has a fair variety of dishes to choose from, which, in my experience, are always nicely cooked and reasonably priced.

Top notch food and service as always.

The staff were friendly and efficent and made us feel welcome the food was delicious and the dining area felt warm and cosy

Staff were great and very helpful in sorting out intolerances

very busy but generally good, waitress was superb

Haven’t been here for about 5yrs, thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely atmosphere, nice layout - not overlooked by other tables. Staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful, as the front face of your business, they are a great asset. Prices reasonable and good quality food. Will be coming back a lot earlier now than 5yrs!!

Burgers dry, lamb shank lovely. Drinks expensive but staff lovely

Roast dinners arrived very cold. Had to ask to be heated up. Plates were then left on table for quite some time. Then waited ages for dessert menu. Have visited before and attended business networking events here too but this experience was significantly under par based on previous ones.

We all enjoyed our meals, though the fries that came were not very hot. The waitress brought us new ones right away and they were certainly hotter (though still not perfect and, sadly, she never did come back to check). The Hunter's Chicken Schnitzels were very tasty, though the chicken was very thin. We both gave the meal 8 out of 10 (for comparison, last week we tried the Hunter's Chicken at the Queens Head next door and gave it 10 out of 10).

Great food, helpful and pleasant service, highly recommend

I'd already booked a table for two but needed to increase the numbers at the last minute. We were accommodated with friendly efficiency. The food was lovely and service excellent.

Went with the wife, lovely food, lovely staff and very welcoming. My only problem is I don't live closer to this wonderful little place.

The staff was absolutely amazing they all worked 100 percent hard. Lovely food and great atmosphere

Needs customer focus and additional training. Not professional.

Excellent all round service, food top quality, will be back

From a very warm welcome to first class service and the Mother Day lunch was excellent, the beef was the most tender I've had-beautiful 😋. Well done Dan and team long may you reign 👏 👍

Been a few times and tbh I’m getting the impression that staffing levels are reduced, service is slower both bar and restaurant. Food tends to be overdone, medium steak comes out well done, chicken dry, skin on fries hard overcooked and think they buy them from Aldi as the quality is not what one would expect for the price. Sorry PyB you can do better.

Well met on check in, with a choice of tables. Menus received and drink orders taken. Lunch menu specials presented a great choice. Our meals were perfectly cooked; the reason we come back is the consistent quality and food preparation. All team members encountered were both professional and cheerful! All in all, a great value lunch, with great service in pleasant surroundings.

I can honestly say my visit to this pub was excellent, service and food was amazing, Dan was really friendly and made our visit really special, thank you Dan and his team .

Our first visit to the pub and will definitely be back, food and cocktails was fantastic. Both Lauren and Dan were so friendly, welcoming and very knowledgable of the food and drinks menu. Look forward to returning soon.

Lauren did an amazing job of looking after us

Good value and quality meals and excellent, friendly service.

Nice stop off on a bike ride ordered food and drink with the QR code @1155 and was eating @1210 good service and efficient .had the speciality burger lovely but messy.

Quick service by polite, friendly staff staff. Excellent food in comfortable environment. Toilets were spotless.

Always good food and a nice atmosphere.

Had to wait 50mins for our food to arrive, when it did come it was luke warm. 7 of us had food and bill over £230 so for that you would expect food to be hot.

First visit!! Beautiful atmosphere friendly helpful staff, dog friendly table service! Food delicious, we will be back!

Not enough staff for a busy night. Some food cold. Late. Party of 30.

On Sunday we had a lovely (if lukewarm) roast.The dessert was delicious.The reason for my one star is we were surrounded by dogs.One very large dog stood by our table and gave himself a good shake, hair everywhere no doubt.A waitress gave the dog on the next table a belly rub,then went off to serve food.I don't agree with dogs in restaurant and don't understand why they have to be brought indoors unless they are guide dogs(etc).My dog has a good walk everyday and sticks his nose into every other dogs wee and backsides.I feel he's ok to be left for a couple of hours on his own.I would never bring him indoors where people are enjoying a meal.Why in a restaurant this big can there not be a section they don't allow dogs in,for the sake of people who are frightened of well behaved dogs or are allergic to dogs, or even don't want dog dust all over their food. I have supported this restaurant ever since it first opened but won't be going back until they sort somewhere out for us dog lovers that are happy to leave their dogs at home.

Very friendly and helpful staff, very attentive. Great atmosphere and the food and drinks were delicious and plentiful. Will definitely be returning soon!

Excellent venue. Great food served by friendly staff.

Food really wasn't good, sorry.

Very positive. Best triple cooked chips ever! Steak was perfect. Apple and Cherry Crumble! The set menu was a bonus.

Lovely pub, staff were great and very helpful. I ordered a small lunch steak cooked ‘blue’. When it arrived it was medium/rare. This is always disappointing. They did offer to do me a new one (after I’d already eaten about 1/2, I refused because I know that meat is expensive for any establishment). I asked for my feedback to be passed on to the kitchen. If the staff don’t know how to cook steak they should remove it from their menu. It’s a really nice pub and the sweet potato fries were delicious.

They have introduced mandatory self service at table from QR codes. Not all drinks available are included on the website. The service has taken a complete nose dive, obviously reduced headcount to increase profit. Such a shame they have decided to prioritise profit over customer satisfaction. Good luck Pen y Bont Farm.

Everything was very good, food and staff were excellent

Drinks service appalling slow, drinks arrived after the food was served and only because we chased them. Whitebate was undercooked, mushy, not crispy as it should be. Cheap pub food not done well and overpriced. Whole experience disappointing.

Went there for a family meal tonight. Service was ok. Food was awful. Four of us had the mixed grill . All of the meat was dry and over cooked. Will not be going back there. Very dissatisfied

We had an18th birthday to celebrate, our table was prebooked but unavailable to us on arrival as people were still using it. We wanted to decorate with balloons etc before the birthday girl arrived. Eventually our table was vacated and we were able to sit down. Service was extremely poor and we kept having to call staff over to get our food and drinks ordered. All in all we felt very let down, we certainly didn't enjoy the occasion as we should have. I telephoned to complain many times after getting home, to no avail as it is automated and no-one ever picked up. Undaunted I wrote a letter to the manager fully expecting to get a reply. Still waiting for that 3 weeks later. Customer service really is nonexistent.

The whole experience was very pleasant with both staff and food excellent. The atmosphere inside was relaxed which made for enjoyable dining.

Great service, drinks were very prompt, all staff were polite and a high level of customer service. Food was good, but a steak that my husband ordered as medium, was rather well done, a bit cold and definitely not the best. Everything else was fine.

Excellent service and food staff very friendly and polite

There was a slight queue to get in, but we had booked. We were shown to a table promptly, and the waiter came and took our drinks order and then returned for our food order once we had the drinks. The service was excellent and friendly, despite him clearly being busy. We felt he didn't miss a beat all evening. Excellent atmosphere, food and service.

We had a fantastic meal, staff were lovely and welcoming, very dog friendly with water and treats available. Highly recommend

We went for a late lunch and the service and food was great, l had the house burger and my partner had the sausage and mash top with bacon and onion gravy, we would definitely recommend both. We were looked after brilliantly by Collette.

When we arrived the table wasn’t prepared for us we had to ask for knives . When we received our food it was below standard ie my food was only warm not hot like I expected , by friends food was burnt on. The bun . We had a desserts which were cold , my chocolate sauce was cold should have been warm My friends custard was cold , and the crumble didn’t taste dry nice also service was slow .

Large pub so can be very noisy, was very hot while we were eating, but quite cold when people left

We've used pen Y bont a lot of times in the past but no more, they've introduced a new menu not good no gammon come on family favourite. Having finished our meals we asked for the bill being the driver I chose to drink orange and water I couldn't believe how expensive orange was, I had 2 half pints of orange and water and I was charged £1.75 for each half, I asked a member of staff why it was so expensive and the answer was we don't set the prices head office do that and he walked off, as I said we won't be going back shame.

Visited for Sunday lunch. I appreciate we visited at a busy time, but the service was slow/inattentive, and the food was mediocre at best

Wonderful experience for Sunday lunch. Beef was sublime and waitress Ella a delight. Would recommend a visit.

Myself and my partner eat here often and always notice the brilliant service. The staff are friendly and helpful. We have tried most things on the menu, got to say the Sunday roasts are delicious and the portions are massive. Amazing value for money. Lovely atmosphere, and dog friendly:)

Good food good service helpful staff

Food was great like normal but unfortunately there portion size isn't the best.

The food is lovely and the staff are very good too. I like coming here. X

Gone down hill food wise, don't bother find somewhere else 🤷🫤

good service,excellent manager,good menu and wine list.

Service is very efficient, food is very good (next time I'll try the sea bass), portion sizes are decent, and the 30% off is the icing on the cake. We'll be back!

Quick friendly service fresh food well cooked

Been here a few times, food is very good and the building's facilities and decor is welcoming... however, without a doubt, the feather in the cap is service... Particularly that of one person - Joe. He served me and my family last Friday. This is the second time he has served us. He is without doubt the best server we have had as a family in recent years. Atentative and accurate yes, but extremely friendly, personable, funny. Honestly if you get served by this guy I fail to see how you could have anything less than an amazing night. Never mind serving, this guy could run his own place and I hope one day he manages to. Awesome stuff Joe, you're just a truly wholesome nice guy, keep up the great work!

Lovely atmosphere, staff always very helpful nothing too much trouble. Food is excellent

Very homely and staff are lovely. Food is always excellent

This was a lovely evening with the family to celebrate my birthday. The staff are friendly, nice to my 2 young grandchildren, and the food was excellent 👌 The service is always good.

Love the new menu! Product are amazing especially the lamb rump and pie! We come quite often, only reason we don’t more is the price but try too when we have vouchers. Heard that they they also do blue discount and taste card and meerkat meals which is handy. Our server was brilliant throughout our recent visit and attentive and made sure we were all happy. Thank you Mia!

Superb from start to finish. Very impressed and hope to get back very soon.

Love the food and atmosphere, excellent service and easy parking

Be vigilant when you get your receipt. I was charged more than the usual price of the meal, even though I had a 30% voucher off mains because the receipt separated the individual courses when we ordered the 3 course lunch.

The service was prompt and courteous. But the food was a disappointment Lamb rump and mini pie was extremely poor due to lack of any filling in the pie it was just pastry, and the lamp rump was just four small cubes of lamb. The carrots were not honey roasted as described in the menue as for the steak pie it was pretty much flavourless some steak with a gravy. Deffinetly no taste of malbec

18th birthday party, food was good! Service was very poor! Shame it spoilt the party!

What has happened to this place. We used to look forward to eating here, how it has changed Poor service and poorer food. But higher prices? I had a steak pie and it only had one bit of fatty meat in it. We waited half an hour after finishing eating are main course for service to order desert but gave up and paid at the bar.

Friendly staff, nice food, good service! Grace was fantastic.

Pleasant meal , friendly staff would go back again.

Great location, good food, very good breakfast, chef caters for your needs. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms very spacious,comfortable bed. Will recommend this place to friends and family and will return myself

Excellent food, excellent service. All in all a very enjoyable experience. Well done

Went here for our daughters 6th birthday meal. Table of 13 and the bill came to £224. We brought our own cake which they brought out for us at the end, we asked for 4 plates but were told we had to use napkins. Not the treatment you would expect from a quality establishment. I've still left 5 stars as I don't think it would be fair to damage their score just because of the actions of one member of staff. Food and everything else was good.

Party of 4. We all had different menu selections and everyone found there food choice excellent. Staff very attentive without being obtrusive, and answered our queries in a friendly but professional manner. Very impressed no negatives

2nd time of visiting and once again a nice welcome and experience. Great food, happy friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere and a proper gluten free menu - not just the odd item here and there on the main menu. The only negative was the mixed grill which appeared a bit like 'processed' food and wasn't particularly good value for money compared to the rest of the rest of the meals, but definitely hasn't put us off coming again.

Never been at lunchtime before, only ever in the evening - It was lovely and quiet! The portions on the lunchtime menu were suitably smaller than the usual evening fare, but absolutely delicious.

I visited with my brother and son to celebrate my 60th birthday. We'd tried to get a table in December, but left it too late to book, and you were understandably very busy at that time. I was glad we were able to finally get to visit Pen Y Bont Farm for my birthday. I thought the atmosphere was calm and the staff very welcoming and attentative. The food was good quality, very tasty, well-presented and value for money. My brother ordered a medium steak, but it was a little less medium than he likes. It was no trouble at all for one of the servers to take it back to the kitchen to be cooked a little more. We would definitely eat here again.

The staff were excellent. From start to finish. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked in. We were extremely early but they managed to have our table ready which we were so grateful for. The hospitality was great and the food was delicious. Thank you, Rebekah x

Welcoming. Great staff. Good menu choices. Food always piping hot. Good value. Consistent & reliable. Plenty of bar choices. Best Guinness for miles around!

Went Sunday with family every thing off menu ended up with burgers chucked us out 8_30 staff meeting !! On a Sunday

We went to celebrate our daughter 5th birthday. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Staff were lovely. My food and my daughters was gorgeous. Our only complaint was the batter on the fish and chips my husband ordered. It wasn't very nice. The fish inside and the rest of the meal was nice.

Brilliant fully recommend to anyone. Food was brilliant and staff lovely very beautiful place and very clean. Absolutely loved it. Thank you

Always a good experience and food here, we visit numerous times a year.

Polite staff, food was and is always really good and it’s always lovely and clean. Tables are quick to be cleared. We have never had a bad experience that’s why we return

Warm welcome. Efficient staff. Great food just drinks are expensive with a small bottle if Budwieser costing almost £6!! Would had been top score if drinks priced better.

Lunch menu was too expensive for a pub lunch and not that generous. Beer was also expensive for a pint compared to other places. Atmosphere could be better, way too quiet!

Beautiful old farm building repurposed into a great restaurant with amazing food, easy to find and only 20 minutes drive from Wrexham

Our favourite place. Staff always friendly, great atmosphere, food and drink.

Took wife here for her birthday lunch.We had the 3 course meal each.The garlic mushrooms and sauce were lovely.main course was nice.Cherry and apple crumble with custard was lovely.I would of given 5 stars only for our main meals temperature being warm not hot.But we would return here again.

Amazing friendly service, quality of food outstanding and good value for money

i have eaten here many times but today the wait for my food was over 40 mins even thou it was empty

As usual --the staff were proffessional, friendly and extremely helpful with a couple of personal requests. Food is always of high standard and piping hot.

Excellent food, drink and service just could not find fault at all.

Amazing food very friendly efficient staff - lovely venue definitely recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous place. Food is incredible. Staff are amazing. If you haven’t already been. Do it!!

Good gluten free menu, very adaptive.

The only problem they run out of Guinness !!! Sacre bleu!!!

Loverly staff. Great food couldn't fault it. Very clean

Lovely Sunday Lunch ... Trio of roasts was great but had to ask for more gravy as it was bit dry. Staff were great, really helpful and friendly. Was good value and we all had a really nice time celebrating my father-in-law's birthday. Good choice of beers including real ale. P.S. good choice of vegan options too, especially desserts, which made my daughter happy. What's not to like?
