The Druid Inn in Denbighshire

Being fairly local having not been to Druid Inn before and having read the great reviews my wife and I booked a Sunday lunch yesterday. Our overall experience was very good. We both had roast turkey which was really lovely. Having seen other reviews tonight I note that, in comparison , we didn’t receive a bowl of vegetables with our meals? We both thought our plates were missing some mixed veg other than the mash, roast potatoes and a slice of parsnip. Was this overlooked by the staff who on the whole were very good?? We both had desert , the chocolate and raspberry cheesecake which was sublime and plum crumble which was most tasty also. No complaint whatsoever about our food and enjoyment in general but we would definitely have awarded 5 stars but for the point raised. Despite this I would happily recommend this establishment.

We as a family of 6 ate here on Easter Sunday. Despite living locally, none of us had ever visited the Druids Inn before. The bar/restaurant was lovely, cosy and welcoming. Lots of people were sat in the bar area enjoying a drink. Clearly somewhere people enjoy spending their time. Regardless of the fact that we had arrived 15 minutes early, we were still promptly taken to our table located right by a window at the front of the restaurant, looking out towards the stunning Llanferres views. Although there was plenty of choice, none of us felt like starters. For mains, despite the standard menu also being available - we all opted for the roast dinners (pleasingly, both beef and lamb were available on the menu - not something we find often enough for our liking). The meat came with roast potatoes, stuffing, parsnip and a huge Yorkshire pudding and gravy, with a separate bowl of vegetables to share (Chantilly carrots , swede mash, broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage and trimmed green beans). The food was delicious. More than enough but not too plentiful. We did all opt for a desert and chose a mixture of chocolate fudge cake, plum crumble and lemon meringue roulade. All very tasty and moreish! Overall a very pleasant experience. We all commented that we most definitely would return.

Just returned from an excellent Sunday lunch at the Druids. Hadn't booked in advance but they managed to fit us in. We both had the Sunday roasts which were very tasty and served piping hot. Exclent variety of vegetables not overcooked and very tasty. Staff friendly and proffessional. No hesitation recommending the Druid. Well worth a visit.

Tasty food, good value, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, very accomodating of our toddler. Lovely relaxed evening

This was the only pub open we could find but it was such a find. Cosy, warm and welcoming with the friendliest, helpful staff. Had a lovely table out of the way and everywhere was decorated overly and Christmassy. There was plenty of choice on the menu and all the food was delicious and well presented. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back if in the area.

We come here quite often and never had a bad meal. We’ve had the homemade burgers the fish pie and today we had the homemade steak suet and it’s consistently good. Sunday dinners are decent as well

We have visited recently on a few occasions and always feel there’s a very warm welcome in this lovely country pub. We decided to book for a Sunday roast and were very pleased. The staff are very friendly and service is excellent. The food was beautiful, we had the lamb and beef dinners and everything about it was perfect. We will definitely book again. It was very busy so definitely recommend booking.

We were sat in the dog friendly part of the restaurant which was very comfortable for us and our two greyhounds. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced.

Comfortable accommodation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic evening meal! and very good breakfast. Great for walkers of Offa’s Dyke- will pick up and drop off from/to path.

Both my husband and I are vegan. We had different dishes and both were superb; amongst the best we’ve had. Friendly service and good beer too.

This is by far the worst, most unsettling, uncomfortable and creepy experience I have had to endure whilst eating out. Firstly we were 'welcomed' down numerous steps with a pram, it would have been nice for the boy showing us to our table to have prepared us for the maze of narrow doorways and steps, even perhaps offered a hand instead of waiting rather bemused for us to tackle the obstacle course. Not only were we sat at the furthest table but also next to the most disturbingly rude elderly couple (who I presume are locals or atleast regulars as they bought the chef jelly beans?) After calling the waitress a 'sl*g' as she walked away for forgetting his whiskey, they then proceeded to talk about my partner and I in a perverted and creepy manner within perfect ear shot for us to hear. It was quite clear they had nothing better to do with their lives and had given up any form of civilisation skills. I appreciate this was not the establishments fault however the food was also pretty poor and overpriced, I would have expected homemade bread or just fresh atleast, rather than a stale roll. We would rather have not paid for this abysmal experience however upon leaving we then had to wait and look around for atleast 15 minutes to actually find someone to pay. It is safe to say we will not be returning here and I would advise anyone to steer clear.

Visiting my husbands mum as she’s recovering from a bad fall, thought it would be nice to take her for a bite to eat whilst the sun is shining. Hadn’t been here for quite a while and was pleasantly surprised that it’s a really good place for decent food. Sat outside soaking up the sun with drinks whilst we decided what to eat. It’s not a huge menu to choose from but there is something for everyone including a great choice of roasts for a Sunday lunch. Two roasts and a 10oz Gammon ordered, although it was busy the staff were attentive and food came in a reasonable amount of time. Would definitely recommend. Mid range on pricing, the food was beautifully presented and enough of it to feel full but not over facing.

Stopped as beer garden looked nice. Ordered a Cajun chicken and bacon hot sandwich for £9.50 - looked like off cuts of chicken and bacon tasted awful and came with the smallest salad and about 5 crisps not to mention it was cold. Also got a garlic ciabatta (paid an extra £1 for cheese) and came as only half a ciabatta for £5.95!!! Was hardly toasted more like bread with cheese. Ridiculously expensive. Spoke to the bar lady who sorted it straight away and gave me a new portion with the remaining half of the ciabatta. Wish I asked for my money back. Nice beer but not good food not to mention the price. Worked in the food industry and never had to send food back or write a bad review before.

We stayed at the Druid Inn while walking Offa's Dyke path. Convenient location. Friendly helpful hostess. Great dinner & breakfast

Visited the druid inn last night for a meal with my wife and from the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome the staff were so friendly and helpful we sat in the bar and had a drink whilst we waited for our table (we were a bit early), and once it was ready we were escorted to our table. The food arrived after a short wait and it was plentiful and delicious. Couldn't rate the service and food high enough. Thank you.

Very nice Sunday lunch. Good beef and pork with all the trimmings. Service was patchy at first but the young boy waiter was spot on and saved the day!

The food here is well above the average. Really top quality on all levels. We had Sunday roast and the meat was beautiful as were the vegetables. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is warm.

A true village pub/restaurant. Same menu in both but if possible we ask to sit in bar as it has more atmosphere. Staff are friendly and food is of good quality with a menu and also a specials board. Possibly our favourite place for a...

Went for a an evening meal with family who were here from Australia. We had a lovely meal, my son and my cousin's husband had the mixed grill which was amazing.

Just enjoyed a fab lunch at The Druid Inn, after a walk with our walking group. Nine of us enjoyed lovely meals, with friendly, efficient service. Great decor & surroundings too. Will return & recommend!

Awful. Ordered starters and small meals for kids as both 12&13 year olds and really hungry. Wanted at same time for two adults. Waited 40 mins to place order and another hour for starters and no kids meal at same time. No apology and young waitress clueless as to what was happening. Waited for kids meals as pate and a veggie tart thing. Never will we go again. It was awful before refit and gave another chance but worse now.
