The Acton Park Pub in Wrexham

Had a lovely Sunday lunch Would definitely recommend 👌

Visited today for lunch with my wife. Both had the the Tandoori Chicken Skewer and it was simply delicious! Would definitely recommend and will be back soon for more! 😋

Wow Natalie & Team Really impressed Love the New Look Acton Had Food & Drinks here Today Service Ambiance & Team Amazing Well Done

Whoever decided an "open sandwich" means you can serve it with half a ciabatta needs to be sacked, but I'm sure using the other halves as garlic bread have saved enough money that the company doesn't care. No reflection on the staff, but the company is ripping people off.

Waited at the bar for ages on Sat night. Wasn't that busy. A local arrived at the bar and got served immediately so we left!

Nipped for dinner today absolutely lovely food compliments to chef also bar man really nice and welcoming all enjoyed 👍

Had my daughter’s 18th birthday there last night, and the service was outstanding ! We were such a large party but they managed to get all the food out in good time and it was all really tasty ! Brilliant, friendly staff !

Lovely family meal. Food was all tasty and team were friendly and welcoming.

Service slow. Food not good and expensive for what it was

I booked our table for the Acton via the Ember Inns app. Due to a delay on my part I needed to cancel the reservation and choose a different time. This was all done and sorted in 30 seconds. Very easy to use and confirmation emails received almost immediately. From the minute we arrived we were looked after by 2 amazing bar-staff, Sian and Niki. Nothing was to much trouble and they ensured we were well looked after, friendly, chatty and helpful. I had made a special request when I booked, but also knew it may not be possible. As soon as we arrived my special request had been taken care of by the staff. Before we ordered I asked the bar staff (Sian) I think, if the discount voucher I had received via email was ok to use, I was informed it was, I was also kindly advised rather than use the voucher when paying for my order, to open a tab and all food and drinks that we purchased would be discounted when we left rather than just paying for the meal at the time of ordering. There was lots of choice on the menu and I had the soup to start with, and chef Andy did not disappoint it tasted amazing, one of the nicest soups i have ever eaten as a starter. My husband had the battered mushrooms, he said they were lovely, i already knew they were as I have had them on previous visits. Myself and my husband had the mixed grill. The portions were amazing and the chef excelled, as did the kitchen hand Rob. Our server was Sam, the Shift Supervisor/Manager. Which we were not aware of, we thought he was a waiter (sorry Sam) Again, very friendly, polite and helpful and he ensured we were looked after and had everything we needed, the whole evening was lovely and a perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The cost of the meal and drinks seemed to good to be true, my husband had 2 drinks, I had a bottle of prosecco, my husband had battered mushroom to start, I had the soup and then 2 mixed grills for mains – Total (with a discount code) £56.00. If I had to give a score out of 10 it would most definitely be a 10 + 100 An amazing price for top quality food, service and atmosphere. It knocked spots off The Savoy. Thank you so much to the team on duty on 30th July 2024. You all excelled yourselves and should be very proud of the amazing welcome and first-class service you gave. We will be back soon. Thank you all Sha & Rich

Had a dreadful meal here thu night ,ordered 2 chicken and chips and a chicken and leek pie ,was told the pie was the last 1 we were lucky well far from lucky meal took 50 mins to arrive (it was not busy)the chips came cold and the pie well what can i say the leeks were put over the pie to hide the burnt crust ,we sent all 3 back with no apology we sat there thinking he will come back and ask us what we wanted in place of the last apparently pie well not ,15 mins later our meals come back warmer and still the same pie with extra leeks put bk.on top , by this time we were hungry so ate it but to say we wont be dining here again til the staff and the food improve 😡

We didn’t have a good night, my food arrived without any coslaw (they had run out) they had also run out of the sauce I requested, so I paid £13 for half a very dry chicken and 6 baby potatoes my friends egg was raw and her gammon was chewy, we left the table to order more drinks (left coats and bags behind) and my full drink was thrown away. Had to queue at the bar to request another, Ordered 2 puddings but only one turned up. Bar staff were apologising for the long wait to be served.. people were asking for drinks for them to be told they had run out so they would have to think of another drink which would also be sold out. Felt sorry for the staff, was at least 15 people waiting to be served with 2 staff on.

Food was excellent value for money. Although some items were unavailable staff made recommendations for alternatives. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Will visit again.

Lovely service from Sian, Nicky and Sarah. They went over and above to help us. We were a group of 4 with 2 with mobility issues. Delivered our drinks to the table for us. Thank you ladies x

Excellent low prices and good quality food. Friendly efficient service.

Great beer, good service, nice place... but what they're doing in the kitchen to make chips that bland I don't know. Heating them under a warm lamp and injecting papier mache into them it tasted like. Ham & eggs perfect though!

Ate here for the first time yesterday - it won't be the last! Excellent service from lovely staff, thoroughly enjoyed our meal (menus offer great choice). It was very busy but from entering to leaving took just 45 minutes - and we weren't rushed at all.

Great Place, Great Food, Lovely Staff

Not too bad a place, decent enough grub and beer, nice staff

Always great here, food drinks and staff.

My 6yr old got told to get off a stool whilst I was gambling on the fruit machine sarcastically, not very kid friendly, then took 50mins to cook 3fish fingers and chips whilst the place was empty, didn't have sides for Sunday lunch so i ordered mix grill with steak done rare to medium and It came as tough and as dry.

Really big, neat and clean, with a great ambience.

Lovely Staff really nice place good value for money

Good food and good service,vegetarian rainbow lasagne meal was lovely very impressed,makes a change from the usual vegetarian meals on offer in other establishments.the other meals we had were very good also apart from the sausage and mash which was a very meagre portion.

Service was amazing. The barman Gareth was very nice and patient and had our whole table laughing with his humour definitely going back soon 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Went in for drinks, service from a bartender called Gaz was immaculate. Made sure I was seen to as soon as my glass was empty and took time to talk and laugh with me. Fantastic service from the lad!

Really nice pub with good food. I had the tandoori skewers and my friend had the chicken burger with the hash brown they were both brilliant. Staff are really friendly and helpful I’ll definitely be returning when I’m next in the area.

Rude barman did not want to be working sighed every time I asked for a drink no customer service at all like I was disturbing him from something. So rude. Appalling

Having tea out with her indoors at the Acton Park on Chester Road, Wrexham. Fish: More batter than fish, the batter was rock hard, shaking the table trying to cut it with a normal knife. It could not have been cooked to order, it had been left to dry. Two slices of bloomer bread ( paid extra for) was wet at the bottom. The gammon was NOT thick gammon as advertised, but normal size and it was dry. It's a lovely place and the car park was full, the staff were really nice. Will not be returning.

A wonderful welcome on a difficult day. Having travelled from South Wales for a funeral it was gratifying to attend a function where the needs and emotions of those present were well considered and catered for.

Had my husband's celebration of life do there buffet was gorgeous we had the gold star menu . Staff where really friendly and it was a great atmosphere can't thank them enough

It was like we were bothering them just by walking in and it wasn't very busy. The food was terrible also, the steak could barely be cut into. Needs a decent manager

Listen carefully , I’ve eaten at the best places in the country I should be a food critic I’ve been everywhere . I have an outstanding taste for food and ingredients and know when it’s 10/10 or not . We stopped here on our way to Snowdon with the family. I had a steak sirloin. Two days later and I still dream about it !! The single best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life . I’m actually annoyed we stopped here because going to miller and carter from now on is going to be a disappointment! Absolutely outstanding. I would wait two hours for my food if I had to . The pizzas were amazing best taste ever .

Had a lovely time, staff were really friendly and helpful. food was amazing, would defiantly recommend and go again!!!

Had a lovely time, staff were really friendly and helpful. food was amazing, would defiantly recommend and go again!!!

Ordered food tood an hour and 15mins. There was a funeral on but we arrived an hour before on pre booked table. Food was cold. Chicken was rubbery, steak was grisly. Chips were off. Really disappointed. 4 of us left most of our meal. Nothing like it used to be. Really not good.

I had a home delivery today and omg absolutely amazing. First time ever ordering from here and wow 👌 highly recommend, portions are more then enough price is really good but the food was amazing will definitely be ordering again very soon

Pleasant place to have lunch. Too many plant based options narrowed down our choices

This was our first visit. We were helped immensely by a man behind the bar as we had a dining out card and were unsure how to use it. He informed us it was easiest to order from the bar with the card. This was true, no hassle, just plain sailing. Ambience was great, service great, but the food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend the lasagne!

Food was ok, standard pub food, however the gammon was bit over cooked and dry

First time weve been in a long while, definetly going back.

Service good staff friendly just chips a bit dry otherwise food all good

We chose 2pm as it was quieter As there were 2 veggies amongst our group it was nice to see different menu offers instead of the usual boring menu's of nut roast etc

absolutely love this pub! good and drink always fantastic, elise behind the bar is always so welcoming and never fails to make us smile❤️

Great place to eat and drink with friends! Met up with a few mates for food before the footy and it was so good we came back for drinks afterwards. Food was prompt and hot, beer tasted perfectly conditioned and staff were great!

Taken the wife out for a nice meal and it was 100% nice. I had the mix grill and the meats were cooked perfect and full size too. The wife had a Double chicken burger which looks tasty too. Was quite busy but the staff always smiling and always a good pint too. Nice chilled atmosphere with everybody just having a nice chilled time.. I downloaded the app and it also has offers on that and you get rewards too which is great for my next visit.

Pleasant environment , good relaxed atmosphere with a good mix of different ages which are catered for well with the food offer and drinks

The food was absolutely fabulous and the staff were so welcoming will definitely be coming back again the location and atmosphere is 100 percent

Very friendly staff and excellent service. Reasonably priced and a good variety of both drinks and food. Will definitely be going back and recommending to all my friends and family

Delicious lunch, excellent service and great staff. Always enjoyable visit. The blonde girl on the bar was excellent with a great sense of humour. We will be back soon.

For the first time in over 50 years of drinking at The Acton, time was called, on a Saturday night, very early. Expecting g to be able to meet friends and socialuse until 12 midnight, we were informed at 22.40 that it was last orders. A request for a drink at 22.55 was refused. By 23.10 we were asked, alongside .many other customers. Ro take our drinks outside as doors would be locked at 23.q5 This is a poor show!

Book ahead if you want food. Fantastic place, great food and drink. Dog friendly. Great friendly atmosphere

Didn't like how we had to pre order our food a week before we arrived, but then only to be told that a number of dishes that we had ordered weren't available, as they had been sold out. ( what's the point of pre order) very disappointed as it was a meal for my sisters 50th.

Much improved since my last visit. Haven't been there for some time, but had a nice meal. Good service too. I won't be waiting such a long time before going back. Update 2022: just had a lovely meal, definitely recommended. I'll be back again soon. And 2023 - still great, had some lovely food

Food was OK, generic pub food, some aoli for Calamari would have been good! The children's pizza was dry as bone. Not somewhere I'd go for a special meal but easy enough for a quick catch up.

Sunday dinner was disgusting meat was disgusting and all of the vegetables were under cooked.

staff lovely, not all beers working ,

Great food, blue light discount, staff great - no complaints.

Lovely food friendly staff reasonably priced meals & drinks

Ordered via just eat, took a little while to arrive but food was amazing, only complaint would be that the chips were a little cold but thatd be the fault of just eat. One of the nicest burgers ive ever had though, will definitely be ordering from here again!

Ordered off just eat with my girlfriend, food came and oh my god, was the best burger i’ve had in a long time, absolutely delicious. Will definitely be ordering from here again (:

Bar staff did very well for how busy it was Christmas Eve! Drinks are always top quality there, can’t go wrong here!

Christmas Dinner on Christmas day, was top notch

Friendly welcome as always. Nice and cosy. Food lovely.

My family and me go to the Acton often as it is our local pub. The atmosphere there with the regulars and staff is amazing. This was my third year I was Santa there for Christmas and all I can say is that it’s amazing the work Sarah McDowall puts into making this happen too. Totally selfless in what she does to ensure that breakfast with Santa happens at the Acton pub, she really does deserve praise for this alone. I’d also like to say that it’s great to have Steve the new manger there, he’s been a breath of fresh air as a manger. Can’t say enough about all the staff too very welcoming, a great place to have a meal and a drink with the family there. A nice heart warming place to go.

The food was fabulous and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The pub was really clean, warm and welcoming 😊

Food lovely very busy Friday night expect it to be but put off by going at such a busy night left hanging around to be served and ask for food as we had booked table,would have been a lot better if you did table service 😀

Good standard of food and overall the pub is back to the way it used to be

Very friendly helpful staff. The food was quite good at a good price, nice atmosphere, will go again ++++😊👍

Food and service were great, unfortunately the heating was broken and coats were required.

Food was good and served in good time staff were friendly. Poor selection as many items were sold out.

Really disappointing. No steaks available when we ordered so ordered the cottage pie, told that wasn’t available either. No lasagne……’scampi is available though’🤷🏼‍♀️heating wasn’t on, building uncomfortably cold. Wouldn’t go back in a hurry.

Food excellent, a bit too long waiting though

Wanted to try the Acton as everyone says it’s improved dramatically, unfortunately they were only serving pre booked tables as they’re short staffed so I can’t comment on the food, the pint was lovely though . It does seem a bit short sighted if you’re trying to sell yourself as a “classic pub serving great quality food” but never mind. It does fill you with confidence that they’ve moved away from microwaving everything as they did in the past so can’t wait to try it again, and as the 6 guys in hi vis jackets by the bar quite rightly told me …. You should have booked mate

Lovely place to eat with a friendly atmosphere! The food was delicious and the staff were lovely and friendly! Would definitely return

Sirloin steak was amazing fiancée really enjoyed the cheese an bacon burger fast service and great value for money

Food was ok but the portions were a bit skimpy.offers were not signed very well but place was pretty busy so must be right.

Nice place for a drink and a meal.

Used to be a great pub but has gone seriously down hill in the last 18 months

Excellent food, very friendly staff and manager. Very good value for money. Highly recommend visiting. Also dog friendly.

Excellent food good atmosphere Friendly helpful staff

Delicious Sunday lunch, vegan and traditional 😋It was reasonably priced and served in comfortable surroundings

I had my baby shower last week here it was amazing , staff were great always around to help .Also, the food was great 👍 too. Thank you for making my day so fantastic. Thank acton pub xxx

Service good food very good an enjoyable meal

We booked a family table of 10 for a meal at 5:15 as we had young children with us (ages 2, 3, 11 and 13.). We had a table in the middle of the busy bar, so disappointed. The noise was unbelievable, we could hardly have a conversation and for someone like myself with Tina tinnitus it was unbearable at times. The Acton is possibly my local pub, but also today will be likely to be our last visit - unfortunately! Why is there not a "family section" particularly for very early evening? Drinks and food were on the whole good, but difficult to enjoy in such a rowdy environment.

Lovely homely pub. Great food. Reasonable priced drinks. Great service.

Great pub. Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. Food and drink spot on! 5 stars from me.

Great place comfortable atmosphere and good knowledgeable staff food was very good and not much of a wait time

We had a great meal and great evening, service was fast and efficient would highly recommend great venue.

Amazing food and great staff who looked after our table. Special thanks to Elise, Reiss and the rest of the team who looked after us.

Very nice staff and excellent service and excellent food served very quick and cooked to perfection as usual

Bit disappointed with our visit today. Lengthy wait at the bar, staff don't acknowledge you when dealing with others (which is basic customer service), seem a bit understaffed but none of the staff move with any urgency, just going through the motions. The app didn't work properly, trying to modify the meal options such as swapping crisps for chips didn't work, then it said one of the dishes was out of stock, so another lengthy wait at the bar to order food. Relieved I mentioned about the out of stock item as I was told actually they did have it in stock after all. The food arrived, the crispy chicken ciabata was very tasty, as was the BLT ciabata which my mum had, although there was a LOT of rind/fat on the meat which should have been trimmed or at least grilled until crispy which it was neither. The chips were nice enough but bordering luke warm. Room for improvement and a few standards to be reset and observed from management down to the barstaff.

The premises was clean and welcoming. The staff were excellent

We went to The Acton Park for Sunday lunch, and I'm sorry to say, honestly, it was terrible. We used the app to order and had trouble bringing up the loyalty code as the app was unresponsive, as such I asked the barmaid if she could add our loyalty points retrospectively. She said, 'I don't know, mate, I've only been here a week.' Not a great start. We had nachos to share as a starter, which were pretty average. The roast turkey dinner though was a letdown. The turkey portion was tiny, I literally had a few chunks while my girlfriend had two small slices of meat. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were hard and dry, I suspect they were frozen, and the carrots had a really weird taste to them - again, probably frozen too. The parsnips were so overcooked, and I assume we're deep-fried. The gravy serving was not very generous at all. We love a Sunday roast but this has to be the worst we've ever had. As such, we left 2/3 of what was on the plate. The server took our plates away without asking if everything was OK with our meals, at which point we would have said how disappointed we were. On the bright side, the Eton Mess for dessert was nice. While waiting for dessert, we ordered some more drinks via the app. Our dessert came, we ate it, and there was still no sign of our drinks. The pub wasn't that busy. There were two staff behind the bar who were enjoying chatting to the locals and drinking their own drinks while chatting, so I don't believe that 'being very busy' was the reason for this. In the end, we went to the bar and asked if we could cancel the order and get a refund for the missing drinks, before heading home. I'm not sure we would return there to eat again which is a real shame as we have just moved to to the area and this is our new local pub. The combination of disappointing food, slow service, and the wait for drinks left us with a less than enjoyable experience.

Excellent food and service Lovely atmosphere

Many years since dining here. Booked for 3 people lunchtime. Ambience pleasant, staff polite and pleasant. Nice menu choices at reasonable prices. We ordered Posh fish finger "butty". Haddock and chips mushy peas and tartare sauce. Also Hunters chicken. A delish. Belgian waffle with all the trimmings for dessert, yum. And my friend ordered Eton Mess, but didn,t think there was meringue in it, Joe politely assured her there was. Lattes came with "Smarties"on the saucer 👍. Enjoyed very much would definitely choose to dine again at lunch time.

Order to 2 ciabatta the chips were cold and soggy the salt was clumped in the salt pot and damp the steak was fatty and couldn't eat it its definitely cheap for a reason won't be going back

Came for food and drinks on Monday night. Place was spotless. Lovely atmosphere. Got a mixed grill and a pint of Madri. 10/10. Great service and even finished off with a cheeky waffle which was delicious and the icing on the cake for my great visit. Will definitely be coming back.

Food menu and quality good they do quite a few deals during the week good variety of drinks cosy atmosphere friendly staff

Excellent. Cheap, superb food. Wonderful service.
