Pen Y Bont Farm in Flintshire

Had a lovely lunch outside in a slightly covered area. Lunch was delicious, excellent portion sizes, freshly cooked and quickly served. Drinks brought out swiftly as well. No complaints!

Good ambience, but expensive for the quality and portion sizes.

It was a place I was invited to when visiting Berkeley Town. The lively staff were friendly, and I remember the food and dessert pudding. This is a place I want to come back to.

Good food, long wait and quite expensive

Service of fairy good very fast and quick bit of shame about table service but but if you want something that you can order from the table of the Google ordering menu menu both nice they do come and deliver the food but what could be nice if they ask you if you wanted any sauces But food comes out quite quickly overall quite good experience I will come back again

The food was lovely and despite the staff being very busy they were still friendly and polite.

Food has gone down hill lately, quality is poor and portions sparse. Service used to be good but they are constantly short-staffed and pushing the self-serve option now which seldom works. I feel sorry for the staff there as they’re told to push people to use self serve but then have to take orders from disgruntled customers when it doesn’t work. And waiting for service takes forever. All in all, there are much better places to spend your money.

Great service from Tom above and beyond. Food very good by Alfie. A very enjoyable visit

Wonderful service from Tom great service. he was great and friendly. Food very good prepared by Alfie. Very enjoyable meal and evening

Really great food as always, great kids choices and excellent service by all the friendly staff especially Lauren who was incredibly friendly, polite and helpful. And it has an added bounce on a great kids play area.

Very quick service food made fresh served hot great value for money it was my 1st visit but definitely won't be the last great atmosphere friendly staff

came in today and the stake was not cooked medium rare, mushy peas where not warm. But everything was amazing the staff where so nice. was served by Collet and the server who brought our food was lovely didn't mind taking the fish back felt awful asking but he was lovely. thanks for the food and the atmosphere was lovely.

A bit disappointed I was sent a voucher on Thursday for 30 % off so we thought we would give it a go, so booked a table for 7pm on Sunday, sat down had a couple of drinks, the ordered food and mentioned the voucher and was told it could not be used on the bank holiday weekend, it’s in the small print / why send a voucher out just before the bank holiday if it can’t be used! Or is it to catch people out as it’s in the small print? Anyway we said we would order the Sunday roast and ordered the beef only to be told we have ran out of beef considering it was a bank holiday weekend someone got the ordering of meat wrong, so we then ordered Turkey, we was asked if we would like any Sauces and asked for some horse radish to be told we don’t have any we have ran out. Any way we had our meals I would say they was ok - but overpriced The F/Boar only a few mins away offers a much better meal at half the price and the drinks there are much cheaper

Four of us ordered food, and in general, it was average, but there was no waiter service in half of the restaurant for some (unexplained) reason, and we had to order online! Even then, we had to wait 45 minutes for the food to arrive, Unfortunately, the sausage and mash was awful. The mash was dry, and the sausages were very dry and hard. Actually, they were inedible. For a Marstons establishment, the selection of cask ales was abysmal. I won't be going again.

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

Very nice food only issue was halloumi sticks batter seemed a bit odd, maybe a little overdone. Didn’t bring to attention of staff because was still edible. Cocktails were tasty, steaks incredible

The food was lovely and the service we received by Lauren and Coral was fantastic. They were both super chatty, asked how our meal was and gave us recommendations of what they had available, even offering us cold sausages for our dog.

Had a lovely meal - food was good and the service was great. Highly recommend

Amazing food Great beer gardens Brilliant staff

Very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely dining and sitting areas both inside and out. Nice to have snack options and smaller lunchtime options. Very dog friendly

Quick meal had a sharing platter but 3 hunter chicken bites 5 halloumi chips . You would have thought that could be an even number. The main meal was a rotisserie chicken tasty hot not much veg . It was a pleasant meal at a mediocre price.

Me and my friends were served by Lauren..she was so lovely and attentive and knew all about the menu. We also were served cocktails by Joe which he had made and they were great.

food was the best in the area we had fish and chips , well cooked batter was nice and crispy , large piece of fish ,

Visited with friends on a fairly quiet Monday evening. Good atmosphere, plenty of space between tables, great parking, courteous and attentive staff providing a great service but unfortunately the food was disappointing. I had the mixed grill. Some elements were good but the steak was cold, dry and tough, egg was overcooked, and the sausage tasted like a budget frozen sausage. I felt the menu was a bit lacking in options.

i have visited on numerous occasions and never been disappointed ,i would never be afraid to recommend it to anyone

Good food. Value for money. Friendly staff.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Lovely place to eat out.

The staff were very nice and professional, we had a table away from everyone else, there was no one else around us and we didn't even realize that the rest of the place was full busy! It was lovely, the food was amazing, 10/10! Would definitely be back

A great hidden gem, we've been looking for a place to take friends for lunch or dinner, now found it

Good hot food delivered by friendly helpful staff in pleasant surroundings

Excellent service and good food on Easter Sunday.

This was a pre-booked Christmas lunch. Excellent service from booking to our meal. Couldn't have wished for a better day. The food was lovely 😍

Friendly staff, clean and safe. Lovely food.

On arrival we were greeted straight away and shown to our table. The table was clean and comfortable, a waitress came over and quickly took our drinks order. We had to request a menu and then our order was taken. The food came out in a very reasonable time as the restaurant was busy. The food was well cooked and presented however the only thing that let it down was the plates were cold and subsequently the food wasn’t very hot. Such a shame as we were very happy generally. It won’t put me off returning but such a simple thing makes a big difference.

Service was fantastic. Food delicious. We will be back thank you

Great service, lovely food Great local pub with relaxing atmosphere

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.

Lovely attentive staff, quick and efficient service, nothing too much trouble, calm and relaxed atmosphere even though it was busy, good price and food quality was fantastic

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.

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 👏 👍

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

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

Needs customer focus and additional training. Not professional.

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.

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.

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.

Always good food and a nice atmosphere.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Excellent service and food staff very friendly and polite

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.

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 .

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

Quick friendly service fresh food well cooked

Very homely and staff are lovely. Food is always excellent

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

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!

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!
