The Bells of St Marys in Flintshire

Carmel went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable lovely and cheerful

What can i say great food and service it was very busy too niamh could not do enough for our family

Extremely long waiting times for rather average dinner. We waited 45min for dinner, then again over an hour for a dessert and had no choice but to ask a refund because this dessert never arrived!! We won’t be returning…

We made 2 visits Friday and Saturday, Pizza made fresh on site, carvery and all other expected items on menu (chips burgers, fudge cake and custard, all very good, Download app for 25% off meals. Staff were so friendly, brought water bowl over for dog too, excellent service, plenty of seating for different size parties, will deffo go again. We came again next day with 4 more guests.

Love this place for a carvery.Always great service and food is hot,plus great choice of meats and veg. Its a shame that the outside lets it down. Broken benches which are filthy, overflowing bins and plates and glasses not collected. Massive holes in the outside canopy. It doesn't give a good first impression for any new customers as inside it's very nice

Went for a carvery yesterday 6 adults one young child Service was a little lost but the idea was simple pay at the bar and help yourself to food once ordered We all had the carvery the meat was good very tasty veg was good peas a little hard as was Cauliflower cheese but plates filled and emptied Baby bowl was cheap and great value Carvery good value also We all left full and enjoyed the meal Ladies behind the bar were a good laugh and the queue was not long We will go back and I'd like to try the breakfast too Simple unfussy place with simple tasty food

Found this little gem on one of my detour routes. Fantastic food, great value. Will be back with family

Absolutely amazing carvery and the service from Nick was lovely! Super friendly and very funny!

Had a lovely family meal food and service was great Carmel behind the bar was friendly and helpful

Been here quite a few times and it has always been lovely.Today however was different, it took 25 mins for my grandaughters food to come out (she had chicken nuggets and chips from the kids menu )..we had eaten our cavery well before her food came out ..We hadn't seen the sign to say we had to be seated first as we have never had to do this before ... queued up to order to be told quite abruptly from the lady behind the bar that we had to be seated and to get a table number ..Three members of staff on the bar all shouting to each other (not to do with the ordering)which comes across as very rude to the customers standing waiting to be served...Will think twice about coming here in the future

Great as always. Enjoyed a Sunday carvery served by nick who catered to my food preferences with a delightful demeanour and is truly deserving of a 5 star For nick - ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food had excellent customer service neeves cocktails looked so pretty and tasted so good. Proper home tasting food meat melts in your mouth vegs are cooked to perfection love it. We always make a trip on holiday for this pub can not fault it at all and prices are really good not ridiculous had amazing offer by downloading their app saved 25% on meals honestly win win for us as a family we all enjoyed the food 😊

Nice carvery, with enough meat put on the plate, compared to other carveries we've been to. Decor is a bit tired, but it's easy to find and easy to park. Good value and clean.. Our 3rd time there, and would go again.

Service was amazing even after long day Hollie was as pleasant as a beer on a hot day in a garden, the dirty Philli burger was beautiful, atmosphere was great!! 10/10 would recommend

The worse meal I’ve had here roast potatoes dry and several had black on them the mash potatoes were also funny colour and taste not nice cold veg food seemed to be old as they weren’t very busy

Fantastic carvery and reasonably priced, friendly staff

Waited 20 mins for carvery late opening. After 40min no pizza that we orderd, not been cooked..offered refund, would rather had food...

Our go to place for a carvery, wide selection of meats, veggies and sauces. Great value for money and the staff are so helpful I visited with my son and husband who has a disability and uses a mobility scooter. The lady who greeted us was very helpful in finding a table with enough space for his scooter and making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience if I could give this place more than 5 stars I would

Love this place it's our favourite carvery.

Team & food were great. Lovely place to come while visiting family at the caravan

Really enjoyed a family meal last night. Food was good, all the staff were friendly and attentive. Special thanks to the lovely Cara, nothing was too much trouble and she really made our night 🥰

Lovely food and the staff are very friendly and helpful

How can a pub/restaurant run out of meat at a carvery place is beyond me, this is the second time I've visited this place, first time it was filthy, food all over the floor . Staff seem to be oblivious to what was around them , will not be back , ps I use Stonehouse in other areas with no problems or complaints at all just LL199TB

Only stopped for a quick pint, lovely atmosphere and good ales, would visit again when in Wales.

The carvery is the best I’ve had so much taste , I prefere to go at 5 pm as everything is freshly put out . They have great offers if you download the app, i paid six pound for mine with my loyalty card Monday and Tuesday night .the meat is really nice too. It’s great they let dogs in now as I’m sure it will help business with the caravan parks round here , lots of dogs . One thing I would say is perhaps have an area for dogs as not everyone likes them . Staff are lovely all round great pub

Steadily got worse these last couple of years. Tried the carvery but the meat was cold and the stuffing dry and rock hard. Avoid at all costs.

If you want a plate of scraps then this is your place. For 13.99 Absolute dog s**t! Totally tasteless. Carvery server blatantly lied to me when I asked if it was beef gravy he said yes then told someone else it was vegan only. Never again!

We did turn up rather late for food. So no other customers in and ready to put food away. Our fault not theirs x

Girl with neon nails, served with a smile amazing customer service. She even offered me advice on what taste bests. She was cheeky on upselling but totally worth it! Will be returning as it’s my new fave place

Just got home. The kids and I were so fed up and angry at our visit we had to review. Part of me decided we will just never return - which is a shame as this was a family favourite growing up - but they don't deserve the apathy. Taking away the bang average food, dirty tables and 50 minute wait for pizzas and scampi and chips, the customer service is woeful. I went up to the kitchen after 40 mins to ask where our food was to be told the "pizzas are just going in". "After 40 mins they have still not been cooked?" I asked. "They've had a couple of other orders to do," said the waiter/staff. A woman next to him offered some free drinks, neither apologised and they muttered to themselves as I walked away. He then brought some pizzas over, which were not great, and the scampi and chips was more like a child's portion. All ok at best, but we were so hungry we ate most of it. My daughter left more than half her pizza. £60 for this and four flat glasses of pop. Didn't get asked if we wanted sauces or anything else. Nobody came and asked how the food was. Distinterested. The worst thing? The place wasn't even anywhere near half full, never mind full! On a BH. No wonder. Dreadful. Will never return. And the woman who had offered the free drinks - and no apology - came over to a table next to us to 'clean up' whistling and singing to herself despite seeing how unhappy we were. This lot need some self awareness courses. Absolute shambles. The people leaving good reviews must be used to a very, very low bar.

Erin is fantastic, could not be more helpful and friendly! She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience so thankyou so much !!!

Just the right place got a puncture before the gate came and had a carvery, dog friendly, lovely staff, what more could you want

Just had a lovely meal, great service by craig, most definitely recommend, definitely be back

Went for breakfast today,and very limited food!!! The food that was there was of poor quality—bacon under cooked! So were the sausages!—-I would avoid this place! Hardly any edible food—-which is such a shame—-as the chef said—-I’m just the microwave manager! My job is just to get the food upto temperature 😄 The thing that was ok was the toast,and you put that through a toaster yourself! Will not be going back ever again

Food barely warm. waited 40 mins for a pizza which was burnt Ordered portion of chips never came .Really dissatisfied with the Bells today.

Staff very polite and food is very nice will definitely be going again

Fantastic friendly staff who could not do enough for us when we visited and served us the best carvery we have ever had

Thank u to all at the bells for our great meal and for kerry Pearson for inviting us we shall be comming again

Thanks to all staff for the great meal and thanks to Kerry pearson for inviting us we shall b here again thanks ahain

The food and the service was terrible my wife and daughters had finished there food even before my order was brought to the table

Outstanding food was absolutely amazing 😻 Highly recommended Best Sunday dinner have had will be back again soon

Awful service and the food was terrible

Went for breakfast and it was brilliant, Dave on the bar was great and Lucas on the floor was always busy Great food and great staff

An absolute fantatic experience the cavery wad.spot on

Went for breakfast with a friend this morning, lovely atmosphere, decent breakfast and the two women serving this morning were good fun.

All you can eat breakfast me and friend had one plate each Good selection of breakfast items amd tea and coffee available

My boyfriend complains at everything and even he said the carvery was 10/10. Brilliant staff, service with a smile, food was great, lovely outdoor bit and play area for kids

Great pizzas, freshly made. Nice chips.Easy parking. Good prices. Friendly staff. Will visit again.

The carvery was so good and I loved the bottomless ice cream. Can’t wait to come back. It was a bit quite tho but still an awesome place

Fantastic service and with a smile! Great food! Thanks again Michell, we will be back

Great food great service will be visiting again soon!

Fabulous restaurant, we stopped as a coach group for a carvery lunch. Staff were very friendly, we were a group of older people the staff were so helpful to our group. I can honestly say after all the carveries we've had, from all around the country, this has to have been the best! Beautiful quaint building with seating outside too. If you're looking for a carvery this one is the best! Thank you to management and staff for a wonderful visit.

Really nice food, generous carvery, spacious, great staff

Nice food, but sometimes mashed potato very lumpy!!

Had a lovely experience here for a mother's day meal the staff were impeccable especially Mark D who was a massive help when our little girl whacked her head he was very kind and patient with us. Food was great and the atmosphere was grand. Would highly recommend

Don't waste your time, we ordered food on the app and after 20 minutes of waiting we had to ask someone for our drinks. The guy who dropped the drinks off did mention a 30 minutes wait for food, which we were fine with. The food then followed 55 minutes later, and it was not worth the wait. I ordered a meat feast pizza and it came covered in honey for some reason, luckily I'm not allergic to honey! My partner ordered the 3 cheese burger and it had a measley bit of cheese on it and it was very dry. After waiting an hour to then be disappointed we didn't want to send it back and wait even longer for the replacement food so ate what we could and left very disappointed at how much we spent. On the way out we got taking to other customers who had the exact same experience. Wouldn't bother going back.

As a group of walkers we visit regularly, always good food ,reasonably priced friendly staff ,nothing too much trouble and a special mention for Cara.

Service was great on our recent visit, food is nice but beef can get very fatty at times. Staff behind the bar remember locals which is nice on repeat visits

Erin was fab, very helpful showing me how to use the discount for the 25% off. Thanks so much.

Carvery was good but could have been better.

It was OK. Food tasted nice enough. We had to wait a while for them to switch the turkey over on the carvery, there was barely any mash, and we had to wait for gravy while our food got cold. It felt grubby and dirty in places where there were spills that hadn't been taken care of in self serve areas.

Staff were great. Food was cooked in a decent amount of time and was lovely!

I've given a 1 star but that's being very generous. The carvery tonight was pure crap

Food and service was lovely, good prices, there is outside seating with a play area for kids. Plenty of deals on drinks and good. Lovely service from the young staff at the bar.

Came in for food early Thursday evening, what a disaster! 10 minutes after ordering the fire alarm went off and it seemed no member of staff knew how to turn it off or organise the pub. Management whilst scrambling around trying to work out what to do left a young girl to attend to all the tables and disgruntled customers. After 35 minutes of sitting with a fire alarm going off, Dave finally found out how to turn it off great.. or not, with no sign of our food after an hour and being told twice it’d be 5 minutes we decide to get a refund and head home. Management of this pub definitely need a refresher on how to handle a fire alarm going off as we weren’t the only customers to notice how badly managed this situation was.

ordered on the app was left waiting for an hour before part of our food came out then got left for 30 minutes. went up and spoke to the lady and presumably they forgot about us. she said food would be out within the next 10minutes but was then left for another 30 minutes. went up and spoke to the lady and she said she would get the manager. he sorted the food but the food was mediocre and not worth the two hour wait.

A lovely pub. Great food. We went on a Sunday. Was very busy. We should have booked but the squeezed is in as only two of us. Though we saw families being turned away as they were full. A good family pub. With seating area outside and play area for children. Does allow dogs. Advise booking.

Never had a bad experience, I would always recommend eating here for the family. Lovely service by Erin on the bar. Lovely lady , friendly and polite. Thank you

Went on 6/3/2025 the food was absolutely disgusting I worked in a catering collage for many years and if we had served this over priced muck then many head would roll.

Friendly staff, service for food was slow. Starters were nice, however waited 30 minutes and then had to remind them before they arrived. Mains were hit and miss. Mac cheese was fine, dough balls were burnt, cheeseburger was the worst I've had in recent memory, it was overcooked and really dry and tasteless. I would have complained and had a replacement but I didn't have time to wait. I have been here a couple of times before many years ago and food was fine. Maybe someone was having an off day. Not in a rush to go back tbh.

Called for an evening meal... absolutely terrible....meat was tough, trimmings bland, gravy tasteless.... worse carvery we've ever had.... tried the food, but left most of it !!..server asked if everything was ok but overall were not interested !!...we will definitely not be returning !

We have been here on a few occasions with mixed outcomes but this time the food was excellent. The meat was cooked just right, noticed that they weigh the plates now, and the veg and gravy were all fresh and hot. Staff were very friendly as usual, service is usually very good and professional. The only thing that I will negatively comment on was the state of the chairs. They all seem very old and worn, which is a shame in such a lovely pub. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely place with good food and Mark D is always very pleasant.

So been going to the bells of st marys for a while now while working away for breakfast.. all the staff are amazing management, bar staff and all the chefs.. food is 100% and kerry and Mitchell the 2 lady chefs has always gone out there way to cook my eggs just how I like them so thank you for that.. well worth a visit if your in the area.

I have just had the best pizza I have ever had on a pub , better than a lot of Italians I have been to . I asked for it to be crispy and I got what I wanted it was outstanding . It’s the first time my wife has commented on a pizza . KYLE KYLE KYLE keep it up . Thanks will be back . Plus tusedays half price .

Lovely day at the bells of st Mary’s, had a carvery and a pizza which was really nice, Cara was my server and she was lovely, we will be back soon

Food was absolutely spot on Excellent fast and polite service Staff always on hand to assist should you need it. Thank you Dave for the excellent service.

Dave was the perfect host. Deserves a raise I think. Fantastic food and service as always. Food always fresh and service is always 10/10

We visited on the 17th of February for an evening meal with my family. The carvery was soooo good, and the staff were very welcoming, especially Dave the manager. It was soo good we came back the next morning and had the unlimited breakfast which was just as good, and set us up nicely for the rest of the day. Highly recommended (we will be back)

Visited for breakfast with a friend as we’d had a positive experience about a month ago. This time was different. The staff were as friendly as always but the breakfast was a big disappointment. Arrived at 10.15 am on Friday, Feb 14th. Just about managed to make a full breakfast up despite no beans. Assured more food would arrive as it’s cooked fresh. We chatted and probably strayed for about an hour, not for extra food but just because we was with company. In this time not once was there an option available to have a full breakfast. Items arrived intermittently. You could have fried bread & mushrooms or sausages & beans at one point. I felt really sorry for the people who arrived in that last hour, scratching around to have something to eat having paid for a full choice of items. Guess the moral is to arrive and leave early.

Popped in for lunch after a walk at Big Pool Woods. Erin was very welcoming, friendly and helpful! We ordered the Turkey Cranberry Sandwiches with roasties, they came out very quickly and were absolutely delicious, topped off with a bowl of gravy for dipping 😍 Will definitely be back for the full carvery sometime soon!

All the staff were friendly and have great customer service, food was also lovely, Brandon went above and beyond

Went for all you csn eat brekky, food not too shabby, beans were cold and bacon could be a bit crispier but other than that not bad for the money. Service was good aswell

Lovely breakfast. Rita and Dave both pleasant and knowledgable

Much better than previous visits. Fantastic breakfast, mushrooms now included (not the horrible dehydrated few they used to charge extra for) waffles now sometimes included too. Coffee always hot and service with a smile by Dave. If previous visits put you off, try this place again. Glad we did!

Had breakfast here today, not for the first time. First question always asked is do we have any allergies which is good practice. Staff very friendly, in particular Mark D who served us and cleared our table with a smile. Nothing too much trouble. Food lovely and plentiful. Place is always clean whenever we have been but decor is a little dated and needs improvement. Inside and out.

Brilliant service by Cara, and the food was lovely

The staff were friendly and the food was great

Great place for Sunday lunch The carvery is wonderful

Not a great carvery (frozen Yorkshire's, over cooked potatoes, and waiting for certain items to come out the kitchen, while your food on your plate is going cold). The overall place could do with a refurb. Wife didn't fancy any ice cream as the toppings area for it the tiles on the wall were filthy and the carpet in the place wasn't much better. Imo they should turn this into a Toby, yes it might cost a few quid more but at least you would get homemade Yorkshire's and it would be cleaner and more modern.

Stopped here for some lunch and it’s a gem of a place with great staff fantastic food and very affordable. The inside has a great detail with nice tucked away seating and looks fab inside ,well worth a visit you won’t be disappointed

When we arrived we were greeted by a member of staff , my partner is in a wheelchair and they were happy for us to try table to ensure that we were seated comfortably, the carvery was delicious and we even had dessert, staff made sure throughout out visit that everything was ok. A very enjoyable visit as we don't often go out for meals because of the difficulties faced by wheelchairs users, we will be sure to visit again.

Instant mash, bought in Yorkshire puddings, bland veg and only peas, carrots, an green beans on a Sunday aswell. My beef was full of fat. Gammon was nice. Not great food. Staff were friendly but we won't be back

Read some great reviews so thought we would pop down ourselves for the carvery. The turkey was fantastic and moist. The veg was amazing cooked to perfection in my eyes. The gravy was on of the best gravy I've had from a carvery. It was a lovely little spot for a nice quiet lunch. I would highly recommend. The staff were super friendly and helpful, job well done guys ! Defo will be coming back.

Love this place as been so many times when over the road at Presthaven in our touring caravan. We frequently use Stonehouse pubs and get to know quite a lot of staff. Nice to see JP here again, top manager

Visited after a long drive out in Wales and receieved a lovely carvery. I would recommend to anyone

Called for breakfast was served by Stephan & mark very polite breakfast was lovely and hot be back soon 😋

Had the best carvery meal I think I've ever had on Saturday.....only negative is that no carvery going forward will live up to it!! 🤣 I will be back! Please be the same 🤞🙏👍😋 promised a five star review as was very impressed.

A little gem of a pub with little rooms with low beams and open fire places and on top off that a Mitchell and butler Stonehouse carvery with a great priced menu

Ran out of meat on the carvery. Useless
