Pen Y Bont Farm in Flintshire

Lovely pub with great facilities, great food and drink and very nice polite staff with good service.

Lovely welcome, great staff, good food and drink. Always enjoy our visits here

We go there regularly. The food and drink are superb and the service is excellent. We do visit other places, but they generally just remind us of how good Pen y Bont Farm really is.

Too dear.. Luckily found the prices before going in

My first visit on a recommendation from a friend. Lovely place. Great environment with friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. The food was well presented but a bit of a let down. Chewy (felt like pre packed) chicken in a Caesar salad, mash that seemed overly processed and had powdery after taste, a tasty but rather economical serving of sauce on the belly pork and mash. For the cost I was not satisfied but am aware how Marston's corporate treat reviews and usually put the pressure back on their staff at the venue to correct corporate errors. This is unfair as the bits I am unhappy with would entirely be decisions made at the corporate management level. While the table service was a nice thing I do not like having a service charge added to my bill when it was not mentioned or advertised at the start. If the service is good I like to tip the staff personally so it is on top of their wages and not part of their pay. This alone would stop me choosing this venue again which is a shame as the staff were exceptional and the venue is lovely.

Nice staff. Quick enough service and not too expensive.

Good value and quality meals and excellent, friendly service.

Amazing staff and amazing food, staff are very attentive and helpful, always smiling even when busy, love the food

Excellent service all staff very friendly and helpful food was stunning and can't wait to return.

The staff members were extremely friendly and very attentive. The food and drinks were delivered quickly and the whole experience was extremely comfortable.

Lovely food in lovely surroundings. Attentive staff. Drinks very expensive . 4 pound for a Pepsi Max and 2 pound for a lime and soda.

Staff are all very friendly. Food is extremely tasty

I came with my friend for lunch mid week. The service was awesome and very attentive. I ordered Hunters chicken and sweet potato fries and salad. The chicken was so tough, not a chance it fresh but if it was it had been so overcooked it was unbelievable. I didn't finish it but the sweet potato fries were lovely and the salad was ice too. My friend had a gammon dish which she was enjoying but then found a blonde hair in her peas. We told the staff but he said both the chefs hair was dark so he wasn't sure where it had come from? I'm sure they thought we had planted it lol. Anyway they took the money off the meal but very disappointed and would have wanted a nice meal instead.

Nice atmosphere good food, good service, and excellent price

Lovely pub. Great food and friendly staff.

My first visit was really impressed with everything the beer was excellent and food was great especially the gravy in sausage & mash, service was very good staff really couldn't done anymore to help me & my friend.

Very efficient and pleasant staff plus lovely food, will definitely recommend.

Staff were really helpful Service was good and the food was really nice

Fantastic service chef is very accomodating with fussy eater same staff been there years alway seem happy in their role love coming here for a meal spotlessly clean can't fault the place unlike other marstons I have visited and not returned

Overall, we like the environment at the pub - it feels cozy, warm... The staff is polite and helpful (although sometime we need to ask for a certain item twice). But I like going there and have always recommended the pub. Also the food, of course, is great (with little exception), even my daughter ate everything she ordered :-) Thank you very much for your hard work!

Lovely place, good food and very helpful staff. Sunday Roast is good

Amazing food, really friendly staff!

Lovely food, great staff and really nice surroundings 🥂

I was very disappointed with my visit today - my trio of meats Sunday lunch consisted of - tough, dry beef, a piece of crackling smaller than a 2 pence piece, a very small (same size as the child's food) portion of hunters chicken for my wife, incorrect pudding order taken. The staff were pleasant though it was purely the food that let them down. I won't be returning.

Love it. Great variety of veggie food, served with smile and bit of banter! Asked and got a variation of vegetarian Sunday lunch. First time EVER a waiter said, 'excuse me' before interrupting our meal, to ask 'if everything was ok'. I liked this, it showed manners and customer consideration as sudden interpretation does throw me a bit, albeit, part of service expectation from employer. I was impressed with the venue having a local notice board for all sorts available in the community. Needs to be updated, some were out of date. Great idea though! Dig treats and for the first time ever, again... a box of reading glasses for customers use. How thoughtful. Again, another great idea. And another first... (they just kept coming..) the kitchen has a window for openness and customers to view their food preparation!! Everyone appeared to enjoy their meal. Host and staff were all accommodating. AND an added bonus, they offer a money off voucher, which covers over the weekend too! Pen-Bont is busy, so if you're thinking of going... i advise you to book a table.

Really lovely place, Very friendly staff, Excellent service, Excellent food, Very impressed with our first visit will definitely visit again very soon

Not value for money like it used to be

We had eaten at Pen Y Bont Farm the previous Saturday and enjoyed the experience so decided to invite a friend to eat with us on 3 April. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and shown to the “Booth” which we had requested. We ordered a drink and when the meal arrived it was enjoyed very much by the three of us. We were very well looked after by the staff throughout. We will certainly be visiting Pen Y Bont Farm again soon. Many thanks. Brian

Lovely venue always inviting & welcoming. Good parking & level access. Staff friendly & give good service. Good choice of food & the meals never fail to please! Food well presented & always hot. Used the 30% offer - excellent value for money.

Lovely place. Lovely food pleasant staff . Definitely going to come back.

Had lunch there for fathers day. We've been here on numerous occasions. Food is always good. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

A friendly greeting always awaits you on the door. Service was slick, attentive very little waiting time..all 4 individual meals were brought to the table within minutes of each other..hate it when one or two people kept waiting for their meals...never happens here at Pen y Bont. We had a Tikka Masala Curry, Hunters Chicken, Leek, Cheese & Potato Pie and Chicken and Avocado Salad..every one of us enjoyed our meals..super delicious 😋

Lovely place would highly recommend, good choice of menu ,food served hot and very friendly staff ,best to book as seems very busy .

Came for Sunday lunch, last minute decision on father's day, just managed to get a table. Would normally expect a drop in standards being a busy day for restaurant. But no, the food and service was as good as always. We've always struggled to find a place that does a Sunday lunch as good as home, but Pen y bont is up there definitely. Highly recommend

Brilliant dog friendly restaurant/pub food was amazing

We love coming here for our business meetings for Deeside Ladies Circle, the staff are lovely and helpful, the food is always amazing and on point for any dietary requirements and allergies. Cannot fault Pen y Bont Farm in any aspect as it's just too good!

very busy, great atmosphere but food took 1 hour from order but was very nice when it arrived. We were not in a hurry and enjoyed the evening

Lovely food and great service by Pete . Will definitely return.

Great experience. Very friendly and helpful staff and they even sang happy birthday with us.

Good food and drink. Would recommend

Amazing food, so fresh and tasty, my friend and I sat outside, great service and good drinks available. Love coming here, had 30% off so very reasonable. Will definitely be back soon!

No problem when booking the table. Though the restaurant wasnt overly busy ..the service was reasonably quick ..The Pen y Bonts ace card is that the ambience feels comfortable and pleasant . though maybe this was because we chose to eat at a fairly quiet time ..We chose to have the lunchtime menu which have to say was fairly mediocre ..we both chose the fish gougons ..a bit disappointed as these had far too much batter ..and very little actual fish content..and the chips were overdone ...Having said that ..we maybe would make a future visit at some point ..but would probably choose off of the main menu .....all in all an average experience this time unfortunately.

The best dining experience we have had on our holiday. Friendly staff, very attentive, and good hot food.

While the food I received was ok I wasn’t informed until my Sunday dinner was served to me that the kitchen had ran out of some vegetables. I would have chosen a different dish had I been informed. The meat portion was also scarce and the gravy barely covered the small amount of beef served to me. Sunday dinner was nearly good.

We visited here around 4 years ago or more when we were in the area. Popped in again and wasn't disappointed. Still fantastic 👌🏾

Great food as per usual. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are really friendly…..what’s not to love?!

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?

Expectations were more than met. Excellent all round experience. which made for an excellent night out

Very homely and staff are lovely. Food is always excellent

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

A very friendly welcome, bearing in mind we had tried about 4 places and we're disappointed to be told sorry no room, we were tired and hungry so the pen y bont was a huge relief as we had been travelling all day

Lovely food, lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

Good food and service couldn't have been better, was even treats for the dog

Couple at next table had a lovely dog with them but where allowing it to try and take food from other tables inc ours. Aswell as feeding it food off their cutlery complained to staff and got the answer were a dog friendly hotel !! Not acceptable Wont be going back

Just been to pen y bont for a meal with my wife .food was beautiful and staff were absolutely amazing. Thank you made very welcome

What a lovely pub which we chanced upon, not knowing the area at all. Had no booking for Sunday lunch having finished a walk up Moel Famau in memory of a friend, but not knowing what time we would be ready to eat. Arrived on a very wet Sunday. Staff were warm and friendly and although indicated that there would be a 30 min wait for a table, the manager came and found us in well under that time when a table had become available. Lovely selection of food offered but opted for Sunday lunch which was substantial and perfectly cooked. Although busy, waiting staff very attentive.

We stopped here on a trip to Ruthin castle and I have to say what a gem, the place was lovely clean and welcoming. The staff were efficient and helpful , couldn’t do enough for us, we had Sunday dinner it was outstanding, the wine was really good and a reasonable price , would definitely visit again and recommend.

A great place to cater for allergies. Helpful, polite staff, you are never left waiting.

This is the 1st time I've been since lockdown. Went on a Sunday lunch time.Tables are generously spaced out, clean, great food and drink. Staff as alway friendly, well done Pen Y Bont Mold.

We eat here quite regularly and are never disappointed. Lovely food and great service. Went here the other night to celebrate a birthday. There were 9 of us and we were well looked after even though the restaurant was busy. We were served by Kaitlin and Tom, both were amazing. Always polite and asking if we needed anything. They do a brilliant job. Food was lovely as always, prepared by Tammy. So much choice to choose from the menu. Oh and the alcohols nice as well. Will definitely be going back. We always do. Love the place.

My first visit and everything looked warm and comfortable. Only given 4 stars for food as I only had a drink. Menu looks amazing so will go back for lunch

We came to Pen-y-bont for our Dad's wake. The hot and cold buffet was outstanding and all of the staff were pleasant and helpful. Thank you for making a difficult day easy.

Good hearty Sunday roast! Value for money. Easy to book.

Celebrating our Golden Wedding anniversary with 12 friends.

Everything was good, friendly service and very good food. Came back again on Sunday because of the delicious food. The gravy is excellent a good addition to the menu and your tartare sauce is very tasty, the best.

Spacious restaurant with decent service. Food was mostly ok. The chocolate domed dessert was disappointingly executed as it wasn't really a proper dome over the food. Espresso coffee was also poor as it was tepid and had zero crema

We called in for a few drinks. No food on this visit. Staff pleasant & attentive as always.

We all had a fantastic night!! We booked our table for a work out for a birthday! All the food was amazing and didn't hear any complaints about anything!! The staff who were working are an absolute credit to your restaurant, they were all so accommodating and so so lovely and made the night run so smoothly! We are all talking about our next meal with yourself. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Booked table for 4 at 2 30 which we had to wait to be vacated on arrival Ordered 4 Sunday lunches waited 50 minutes then had to ask waitress to chase up arrived 10 minutes later all were luke warm and the beef was tough and fatty Asked waitress for milk for the tea as the amount that was given was inadequate made us feel like we were being a nuisance. All in all food staff and atmosphere left us all underwhelmed poor from start to finish for the price it was not of a standard I would expect Lesson learnt will never return or recommend

Superb Sunday roast this weekend!

As alway excellent service and delicious food!

Very pleased with the service and the quality of the food. Staff were very attentive and polite. Had to wait a while for the table to be ready but probably due to us being a large party of nine and not too much of a problem though. Overall very good.

Lovely meal with great service. The only down side was the next table allowing their dog to beg for food at our table. We are dog lovers but found this unacceptable.

Great pub food and service was very quick. Will definitely go back for another visit.

I have been to Pen Y Bont Farm several times before, it is a great pub. My sister has an onion intolerance and Mat W was so accommodating and helped us figure out what she could eat safely. Also we took my dog Shadow with us. The pub is super dog friendly and all the staff gave him fusses and treats. Food prepared by Nicky was delicious and my sister was so happy with her onion free roast dinner. Shadow loved his side of beef too! Big thanks to Mat W for looking after us, we had a lovely meal and the service was fabulous.

Had a very pleasant Sunday evening meal with wife and grandchildren. Service very good from Kaitlin and Ruby and meals lovely prepared by Dan A

I booked today for a family meal. We ordered our starters and mains. One of the mains was from the specials list. It was advertised as pan fried chicken, chorizo, sauteed potatoes, spinach, tender stem broccoli, mushroom sauce with red peppers. It came looking like a cut up Sunday lunch in a bowl as it was just the chicken, potatoes, peas and green beans and the sauce was purely gravy. It was very disappointing that the chef felt it was acceptable to send out a dish that was totally not as ordered. We called staff over and stated that it did not look like what had been advertised. She then left and another member of staff came : Mat W. He took ownership and offered to get another meal saying that the kitchen had run out of some of the veg and sauce. By the time we had finished our meals our daughter then had her new option which was lovely. The kitchen should not take it upon themselves to re create a dish due to lack of ingredients without advising the customer. As if they had been open and honest then my daughter would have ordered something differently to avoid delay. However if it was not for Mat W who dealt with the situation amazingly and ensured that a new option was ordered and rectified the bill and was extremely apologetic. Because of the way that Mat W represented Pen Y Bont we will visit again,as we always have lovely food and that is what made today extremely disappointing. Mat W was able to turn a bad situation around.

We had taken family who was up on a visit and they.like us thought the food was good value for money staff member Jo serviced us and was very informative polite and cheerful there was 6 of us and we all really enjoyed it

Easy to book online. Plenty of parking. Friendly service. Good choice of meals.

Friendly staff, lovely food, pleasent surroundings

Ample parking, we also liked the interior, very rustic and clean. The service was excellent. I enjoyed my meal but my partners cod loin was undercooked, he didn't want to make a fuss, other that that very good

Very friendly and smiling staff throughout. Well catered for my food allergies. Service was quick considering how busy the place was. Highly recommend to everyone.

A nice pub with attentive staff, suitable for children. Good selection of food choices. Dog friendly too!

Staff always polite and efficient we have visited a few times on Saturdays and it was.good. Most importantly the food was good.

One of the few places in the area we could find to eat. Seemed very nice. Friendly greeting at the entrance. The waitress helpfully let my friend try all their craft beers before deciding on one. Food arrived in good time and was tasty. Then, when we got a different waitress, things started to go downhill. Had to wait ages for our plates to be cleared and to be offered a dessert menu. Then had to wait ages again and I had to ask again before it arrived. We chose what we wanted but the waitress did not reappear. After still more waiting, we decided to skip dessert and leave. I had to go up to the bar to ask for the bill, where I found our waitress serving drinks. Eventually she said she would bring the bill to our table. This she did very quickly but then walked off when I had wanted to pay up. I had to follow her to the till where she promptly passed me over to the guy who had greeted us. I had a bit of a complain to him and he was most apologetic but it was all a bit late. Shan't ever go back.

I found all staff very polite and attentive. I had my elderly father with me and everyone went out of their way to accommodate his mobility issues. Well done to the team there.

Excellent service from friendly staff. Place is nice and clean with plenty of space. Food was average. Not bad but not great either including portion size. Ideal for quick lunch. Apple & cherry crumble with ice cream was best course of the 3 for me.

Overcharged for two soft drinks, £3.20 for one and £1.70 for the other, both were supposed to be half a pint, but was charged for 14 oz even though it was in a small glass

Steve and the team at Pen Y Bont Farm deliver a fantastic experience with exceptional food and service. Every visit feels special, thanks to their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience.

We came for the first time about a month ago and the food was excellent. Myself and my father had the mixed grill and our friend had the sea bass. We enjoyed it so much we decided to visit again. This time, I had a ribeye steak which was overcooked - more like well done than the medium I ordered. I ordered extra onion rings which were awful. My father had the mixed grill again. He enjoyed the gammon and the sausage but the steak, the lamb chop and the pork steak were well overcooked and dry. The chips were not nice either. Our friend had the chicken tikka masala and while the meal was okay, the poppadom and the naan bread were dreadful. We did complain and received £20 back on a £90 bill which we didn't feel fully compensated us for the poor standard of food we received. Based on that last visit it will be a long time before we even consider coming again.

Staff extremely helpful from start to finish and food and drink was lovely.

Lovely place for pub grub. Relaxing, not rushed. Staff friendly

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

First time at this Beautiful Restaurant, And we had really nice Food ! Couldn't Fault any Aspect of our time here ! Well done 👏

Lovely main meals and desserts, plenty of options to choose from. All delicious meals, and very good quality service and polite people.

A very pleasant environment with equally pleasant and friendly staff. Oh and the food was excellent! Didn't have to wait long for the food and the service was excellent. The dog enjoyed it too with the staff attentive to her needs too. Our favourite venue for a special treat.

Over priced Small portions Dry over cooked food

The service was nice. We had our food outside. We did prebook a table of 8 but the table wasn't made up we had to get creative ourselfs. We were served our food and then ordered the desserts but left our dinner plates in front of us. A little more training required front of house.

Great meal and fantastic service from friendly knowledgeable staff who surpassed expectations Will be going again soon

Well prepared and efficiently served meal. Staff were polite and helpful.
