The Celtic Arms in Flintshire

Went here planning to have the set meal but chose to eat off the menu instead. It's nice and spacious inside. Food was served in good time and it was tasty. Portion sizes were just right and the service was everything we expected.

Outstanding service and high quality food. Service was exceptional from Erin. Highly recommended, we will definitely be returning, thanks from Eirwen Strathdee and Joanne Mawdsley

Lovely lunch, fish and chips, scampi and chips and prawn open sandwich followed by sticky toffee pudds and fruit crumble all very delicious.

Prior to attending a wedding the following day we popped in to have a look round and have a drink, must say not all the staff were friendly. Quite bossy really. Attended the wedding. Room was beautiful, food good, all served hot. Toilets throughout need attention as they were quite dirty. Would recommend as a venue if Toilets were sorted out. Grounds were lovely for pictures, as was balcony off the function room.

Staff, absolutely fantastic and lovely venue. Been here a few times and normal menu items have been fantastic and couldn’t complain. However, this time we went for a roast and oh my god! £25 for one of if not the worst Sunday roast I’ve ever eaten. One tiny slice of meat, 2 rock hard potatoes, cased peas, cabbage, a tear drops worth of gravy and a flimsy Yorkshire pudding that I wouldn’t feed to my dog. Very underwhelming for such a great restaurant.

Good menu I had the cod and chips seems to have shrunken a bit but was tasty nice that they had curry sauce as a side

Be6rn here several times for meals and funerals! Took some elderly aunts out to lunch. Food was good and waiters helpful and attentive. But - took 50 minutes for any food to arrive. Not at all ideal for two aunts in their late eighties. Shame as everything else was really nice.

Having dined here 20+ times over numerous years we've yet to have a bad experience. One of the best around

Myself and my partner went for Sunday dinner last weekend. We were seated and had our drink order taken fairly quickly, however, we watched 2 tables, who were seated after us, have their food order taken before us. We eventually had our order taken after I got up and asked someone to come over. For starters I had the spicy sweet potato soup which was gorgeous. My partner ordered the prawn cocktail which he said was 95% sauce and lettuce, with a tiny smattering of the smallest prawns he'd ever seen. For our main, I ordered the pork roast, my partner ordered the trio of meat. We were so disappointed. The roast potatoes tasted like they were cooked 4 hours previously and had gone cold. The Yorkshire pudding was the sorriest looking thing we've seen, flat, soggy, and chewy. For £23 each for 2 courses, we were sorely disappointed.

Dropped in for sunday lunch. Did book a table for 4 but were put on a table for 8 which was a bit strange. The food was ok but not fantastic. I had the steak burger which was very filling but the burger looked like it had been boiled. My wife had the fish and chips and the fish was massive and the portion sizes could be reduced.

What an absolutely tippety top find.. we called, and nothing was too much trouble to fit us in at the last minute ... All of the staff were wonderful such friendliness and wanted to make us so welcome... The food was incredible, all of it delicious .. Cannot rate this place enough and want to say thank you we had been away on holiday and what a perfect place to finalise it.

A really good menu choice with flexibility on child portions.

Very good restaurant on the grounds of a golf club. The food was really very good

I went straight from work stood at the entry for 15 mins awaiting service so went to the bar to ask about food was virtually ignored for another 10 mins then picked up a menu and was asked if i would like food and was escorted to a table outside, i ordered my food and was asked to pay for it before the meal which was totally embarrassing as there were other customers at adjoining tables getting served and looking at me as though i was a second class citizen had to keep my head down eating my food totally ruined my meal will never go there again

Good portions well presented and cooked. Service was efficient and friendly. Would recommend for Sunday lunch

Food really poor. Burger was dry and chips soggy. Don not recommend.

Arrived late, around 8.20pm after the kitchen was effectively closed. The chef agreed to feed us which I found unusually courteous. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food offered was limited to a roast dinner, which suited us perfectly, after cycling in the cold for hours. The food we couldn't fault, for example roast potatoes the size of a house, the amount of food was exceptional. The total cost including drinks was very respectable - we have paid the same for much less food and of a lower quality. Overall a wonderful place to visit. Shall definitely call again the next time we are in the area. Now listed as a favourite.

Went for an event staff were good glasses looked like a dirty window or washed in africa

The food here was absolutely spot on, very tasty and the portion size was very good, the waiting staff where very attentive would definitely recommended.

Called in for lunch. Absolutely delicious and freshly cooked

A sad day seeing off my grandson but this venue did us proud for the wake. Thanks

Fantastic restaurant that serves up food of the highest quality in picturesque surroundings. The quality of the meals are phenomenal, and the level.of service is really first class. Would recommend booking for popular times.

Very nice environment. The food is tasty and filling. Nice service, even if you are a few hungry travelers. Not cheap but worth it.

Very nice environment. The food is tasty and filling. Not cheap but worth it.

It is one of my favourite places to eat, relax, socialise, and have family time

Had the wine and dine menu food was delicious, lovely service. Will definitely be going back

Lovely food, staff work really hard

A great, traditional Welsh pub, with a full dining menu, and a great selection of beers.

Rump steak meal - steaks overcooked but not warm enough to melt the butter (4 steaks), triple cooked chips hard and thin, large raw tomato and skin on the sauce. Didn't complain as didn't want to spoil a family celebration.

Attended function here, food was very nice. However the two doors before you enter the ladies toilets upstairs, were a disgrace, absolutely filthy, has anyone there heard of Cif ! Also lock on toilet door broken. Carpets covered in confetti too from a previous function.

Thank you to Izzy who looked after our party of 5, Izzy was informative and engaging aswell as very polite. She made our dining experience a joy. The food was delicious and the service was prompt. We are now looking to book again. Thank you.

We've had some lovely meals here in the past, but the service and food we had on sunday wasnt up to normal standard

The food was not as good as it used to be. The scampi was overcooked. Service is slow.

In impromptu visit having found ourselves stuck in traffic. It was a Good Friday visit and therefore Fish was the dish of choice. Exceptional fish and chips and a great hand pulled beer to accompany. Service was exceptional and the openness to allowing dogs was also a welcome addition. I’d certainly recommend a visit.

Lovely food, great staff (thank you Izzy) would definitely recommend.

An absolute hidden gem! The ambience is very chilled out, with plenty of space for larger parties. The signature cocktails are a must try, the Celtic Bakewell is very moreish. Starters are a small but reasonable portion that whets your appetite ready for the main event. We had the pan fried chicken and the tuna steak. Both were cooked to perfection, full of flavour and the perfect amount of food to leave you feeling satisfied. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, attentive but not overbearing, with a “nothing is too much trouble” attitude. Despite living at the other side of the country I’m sure we’ll find an excuse to come back again.

Really nice food and staff are very friendly.

Excellent lunchtime meal for four.

To be honest it was a nice meal it was Sunday roast and a Birthday celebration. Should be an option for the red cabbage and cauliflower cheese as some of our group disliked it Tables could have been spaced out better as it seemed cramped But the staff and service were excellent and atmosphere was good Would certainly go again as a couple

Food was scrumdiddlydumptious and terance is class. Give him a raise am i right best meal i ever had just because of terance see you later t dog

Couldn't fault the food, it was excellent. I had creamy garlic mushrooms for starter and steak for main from the Wine and Dine menu Big thank you to the staff who were very attentive, friendly and professional Would recommend

Excellent as usual - Food superb with 1st class service

Room was lovely and spacious for functions food was beautiful good selection of beers

First visit here today...very quiet when we arrived. We were shown to our table and told that the waitress would come and take our drinks order....Sat for 15 minutes in a very quiet room...no- one came back to us. We decided to leave. We passed the staff member on our way out...didn't even ask if we were OK?

Great food with lots of choice.

beautiful place, very accommodating staff.

Absolutely fabulous staff are amazing food was 5*

Fabulous food and 1st class service when we visited for my wife's 70th birthday meal. Thank you, we will be back⁸.

We only intended calling in for a drink after buying a new car. However the manager offered us a table and a menu to browse whilst he got our drinks. So glad he did, I had steak and my wife had a chicken dish. We both enjoyed our meals that much we decided a pud was in order. Excellent service, food and ambiance. Highly recommended might nip in next week after picking the new car up 👍

Smashing food, staff very nice and helpful, background music at a pleasant level not obscuring the flow of conversation or isolating the hard of hearing.

Our favourite place to eat in the area. Always delicious food and great menu variety. Our only minor complaint is if you're there a bit later in the evening staff will start packing up around you which can ruin the atmosphere

Great place adjacent to a golf course.

Awful Christmas Dinner today. So disappointed. £240 to be seated in a conservatory near a fire exit on Christmas day. I did ask to move tables but it wasn't possible. Food was not great at all, very basic roast with 2 roast potatoes, one carrot, one parsnip and lacked so much. Last year we paid the same to go to glasfryn and I have to say that was a completely different level of Christmas day service. Never again, really disappointed.

Love it here. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is excellent. We have been coming for seven years

Lovely restaurant and the staff were attentive and pleasant but the meal was slightly disappointing. The prawn cocktail consisted of far to much lettuce and very few prawns, the roast turkey dinner was very tasty but no stuffing also lacking in veg, with two potatoes, four sugar snaps and a tiny piece of cauliflower I was still hungry, the plate was dominated by a huge Yorkshire pudding!

Works lunchtime Christmas meal. Choices for each of the 3 courses and very organised. Service like clockwork.

Really nice looking place, with friendly staff. Had Sunday lunch nicely cooked meat, but why put the meat on top of crispy roast potatoes which makes them soggy. The food was barely warm.

Opposite Northop Golf Club close to A55. This restaurant is situated in a charming rural location, boasting an appealing ambiance and a variety of seating options, including outdoor seating. The decor is particularly noteworthy, earning a perfect 10/10. However, when it comes to the food and service, we would rate it 4/5. The pastry on the steak and ale pies was slightly tough, and the filling could have been more generous. On the other hand, the butternut squash nut roast was delightful, although the portion size was relatively small. The desserts were delicious. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, we had expected a higher level of personalised service from the staff. We will be back 👍

What's happened? The restaurant was our go-to for family parties, I had my 70th there amongst others. He food was great and service very great. I've been twice in recent months with a group of friends for lunch and both the service and food have been a little disappointing.

Everything was great, except for allowing dogs, no offence to dogs, only I'm allergic.

Came here for Sunday lunch. They accommodated a group of 13 at short notice and the food was good.

Family gathering . Very welcoming staff Good service. Not very busy on this occasion so we had the conservatory to ourselves which was great. Main courses were very good. Sticky toffee pudding was also good so I was told. I had cheesecake which was very disappointing so have taken off a star for that. Would definitely visit again but next time I'll have the sticky toffee pudding 🙂

Excellent place lovely friendly staff and gorgeous food would highly recommend this place the staff went above and beyond to make our day special

Excellent service the staff went above and beyond to help especially with the floods we were picked up and dropped off as we couldn't get our cars through thank you so much

Dropped into for birthday meal with in-laws wife and kids. The roast dinner are to die for. The carrot and ginger soup was really nice also. The staff were excellent, will 100% be added to the revisit list.

Great food. Service equally as good

We called mid week we hadn’t booked a table and got seated immediately. Friendly and efficient staff. The food was very tasty. Would highly recommend a visit.

Sadly our steaks were cold taken back to kitchen not much difference when they returned. Shame. Cauliflower and Stilton soup not to my brother in laws taste and Masaman curry more like ratatouille came minus the spring roll which was minute when we asked for it and arrived half way through the meal. Tiramasu not to my mother's taste so all in all a dissapointing meal won't be rushing back. Couldn't fault waiting on staff.

Lovely food, service a tad slow but the food was worth it and plus we visited when it was busy with no booking so that's fair enough. Will absolutely visit again.

We are regular family users and have enjoyed excellent meals every time. This review is for 2 of us yesterday, as we walked in not booked. Great service, Good ale and superb 16oz Chateaubriand For 2 .

Staff are very customer focused and the meals were very tasty - both had vegan nut roast

Great food, friendly staff, play area for children and outside seating. Love this place.

Busy weekend but squeezed us in for lunch and it was beautiful thank you

Steak burgers are really good - regularly come with my grandparents

Family Sunday lunch, food was very good had the pink roast beef it was lovely and tender. Service was excellent and would recommend this place. Will return in the future.

Phoned to book a table for the evening, very professional on phone. when we arrived we were greeted at the door and taken straight to our table, drinks order take and arrived quickly. I ordered the sirloin and the wife had sea bass which arrived within 10 minute. We must say this is one of the best Sunday lunches we have had,good portion sizes. Would highly recommend

Came here for a funeral wake. The room hired upstairs was lovely, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food provided for the buffet was beautiful and fresh. All in all a fantastic place and hidden gem

Very nice place with excellent food. Great service and fair prices. You will pay here for a gourmet dish that in big cities you will pay surely more than double. Lot of parking and we had no issue to find a table for lunch even without booking. We stopped on our way back home from the beach but we will surely come back on our next trip.

Went here with a few mates to celebrate. The room we were in was long and was a bit of a struggle to get in and out of your seat especially when you haven't seen your mate in a while. We had to order in advance which was odd as I don't know what I want till the night like. Must of decided to have the pie because that's what arrived, was good mind you just not outstanding like the beer prices would have you believe. But the weird part was one of the waitresses must have been put up to some joke or something as she kept talking in a deep voice like she was taking the mickey mouse out of us lot, I know we aren't that prim and proper but we didn't expect a comedian. I know we are a bit rowdy like but felt a little uncomfortable getting merked on like that.

Marvelous food! We had gorgeous dishes at a reasonable price. Spotless place with a great ambiance. Great views to the gardens, kind staff.

We have had meals at the Celtic Arms on many occasions and it has always been fine. The last couple of bookings we have made for Sunday lunch and both times it has been quite frankly awful. We thought we were just unlucky the first time in June.. there was a largish party with rather loud voices and noisy children and we couldn’t hear ourselves think let alone speak to each other.There was a long..very long wait for our food to arrive and as there was a skin on my sauce for the sea bass I think it had been sitting for a fair while. Anyway today..we decided to give it another try..oh dear!!..the noise level was even higher and the screeching laughter of another largish party was deafening. I couldn’t hear a word my husband was saying..nor hear what the waitress was saying when taking our order. To be fair the food was good apart from the belly pork bites which were tiny..burnt and there were only four!! I appreciate the staff cannot do much about exceedingly noisy customers but a pleasant Sunday lunch it definitely was not. We will go to our other favourite restaurant next time which although probably the food isn’t as good as the Celtic..we won’t leave with headaches.. and will be able to speak to each other without shouting.

Happy to have found this place..just off the main Rd but in a lovely setting..really nice menu and very good service..would definately return

Last minute booking. Faultless in every way. Value for money too.

Had a very average Sunday roast. Won’t go back. Serving staff were good.

Had the Chateaubriand & it was excellent, cooked to perfection. They'd sold out of my first two desert choices so went for the passion fruit crème brûlée which was also delicious. Staff were very attentive & helpful & will definitely be returning.

Pleasant staff food was good; just had to wait a bit too long; but overall very good

It's ok, we went on a family get together and it was nice for all the family to meet up.

Have been there many times, the standard is exceptionally good

I put a bad review on here a while ago about having bad service, when we took our 2 grandchildren, but we visited again about two weeks ago and the service was excellent everything was perfect we all had a lovely time thanks to all the staff and definitely will be back

Never a bad meal. Attentive staff

I had my 50th birthday here last week, organised by my partner. The room was amazing, a large C shape with doors leading to the terrace. Relaxed comfortable seating along with several round tables of 10. There is also a dance floor. We chose to have the buffet on it as the gathering was during the day time. The food was classic but very well turned out, thoroughly enjoyed by all. There is a lift so access for all. On the terrace there are wooden stairs leading to the lower ground and garden where there os a wooden play area. Highly recommend 😁

Disappointed with the quality of the food. Previous visits have been excellent however, the food quality was not great this time Bean casserole with the sea bass was claggy. Lasagne was greasy. Pork belly was under seasoned. Staff were great.

Impeccable professional service, friendly staff and superb cuisine. Can only recommend. Five stars from us

Excellent restaurant, delicious food, friendly and quick service. Fine restaurant, good food. Friendly and fast staff.

Went a Golden wedding celebration. Excellent food and service.

We have been here many times and had excellent service and lovely food, so we were very disappointed when today we took our two little grandchildren for their tea ourselves only had a drink one waitress was very miserable and when we asked her for...

After a poor visit in April which was unusual for the Celtic Arms,we decided to revisit on May 26. They were back to their very best,the food was excellent as was the service.Well done the team for correcting any previous issues.

order 4 starters got 3. Order extras with main menu never got them then the bill well you can ?????

Lovely warm welcome at the Celtic Arms. We ate outside in the garden had a light lunch and it was lovely. All of the staff were very polite and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Great relaxed atmosphere in a lovely setting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was lovely. Staff very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
