The Elihu Yale in Wrexham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent service and good Steak Pudding Chips Mushy peas.

Great pub, lovely attentive staff and very friendly customers, and Wednesday quiz is fantastic

Very happy with the food and service.

It's a spoons, good cheap food. Staff were friendly and helpful

Nipped into The Elihu Yale for a spot of lunch after a long day touring the region. Yet another Wetherspoons plying it's trade and serving up burgers, beers and cheap curries by the thousand. So, just to fit that particular script, I had a burger and my wife had a curry. They were cooked, they were hot, they were decidedly average. Nothing special, but they did the job for very little money. The pub was typical Wetherspoons fare, comfortable-ish, clean-ish, precisely what you expect.

Too many people smoking in doorway not pleasant at all

Just want to say how first class the door people were today. Really nice to see door people with emotional intelligence. Let some Reading fans in, refused and dealt with some Wrexham idiots. Really well done. Lovely afternoon continued. Pub good, cheap prices, enjoyable afternoon. Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, well done all, and obviously nice to see Wrexham win

It's a wetherspoons. Enjoy a decent breakfast for a good price with the local alcoholics. Can't beat it.

It's cheap but bad language is terrible

Went in hear for breakfast did not let me down it was lovely. Had dinner hear it was delicious loved it.

Good food for the price. Nice for family and friends. Kids can stay until 20:30

Cheap booze and quick service. Couldn't ask for more. On second thought even cheaper beer would be nice especially Guinness.

Typical Spoons. Comfy atmosphere.

4 of us had a lovely meal at lunch time. It was very busy but food and drinks came out quickly. Sausage and mash and peas and gravy was lovely. Also the brunch was nice. Toilets on the ground floor which was great because weatherspoons usually have them upstairs. Also a lovely building.

Nice pub and good service. Better inside than it appears outside!

Fantastic food very good spirit and beer selection fantastic atmosphere

Popped in here for a pub lunch on a visit to Wrexham on market day. It's a standard Wetherspoons in a lovely old building that used to be a cinema. The interior is very large, lots of tables crammed together, but there are eating areas that are a bit more separate and cosy, and a choice of seating. The decor is traditional, with wood panelling and some interesting old photos on the walls. Accessible and clean downstairs toilets. It was very busy and noisy when I arrived, but I managed to find a nice table at the back of the pub. The bar was well stocked with a wide variety of cask ales, wine and spirits. Bar staff were very friendly. The extensive menu offered all the usual Wetherspoons fare including pizzas, curries, burgers, grills and traditional pub favourites, with smaller versions of many of the dishes and also children's meals. It was useful to see the number of calories displayed against each meal choice. Opted for the 5oz gammon with fried egg, mushroom, tomato, jacket potato and peas, and a Mediterranean side salad. Service was quick and efficient despite the staff being very busy and rushed, and a friendly waitress came back to ask if everything was okay. The food on the whole was average quality and could have been hotter, but the portions were good, the salad was fresh and really tasty, and the lunch and wine were not expensive.

Lovely food great service try ordering on app for the first time and food came right to the table

Very busy pub normally but especially busy on a Wednesday afternoon when the Euros are in full swing. A projector style large screen dominates the bar area, but still many quieter areas to chat with friends. Overall a good Witherspoon pub.

Pleasant with nice people, nice things. Nice area don't believe always what you hear.

Peaceful and good food and service

Enjoyed it here not as big inside as you think

I love a Spoons, and this is another great one. I had the lemon and herb chicken, as I do 80% of the time, and it was beautiful. My dining companion's Margarita pizza was also apparently super. The service was warm and attentive. The Elihu Yale is another charming old building into which Wetherspoons has breathed new life, and we really appreciated its heritage vibe.

Very impressed with the food and service which was very quick. Will be coming back. Floor could have done with a bit of a clean but have seen worse.

Came for a quick tea. Had steak pudding and mash. The pudding cooked in oven so it was dry not steamed. The mash was smash. Ok for the price.

One of the best Weatherspoon's which I've been. A good location, atmosphere, clientele, and staff which are friendly and polite.

Went there for breakfast .Nice food .was a bit loud even tho it was mainly one customer .food was nice service quite quick .

Really friendly and professional staff. Food was fresh and hot.. even the beans...🙏👌👍 Usual value for Money. Everything clean and neat. Free WiFi and clean toilets..

The first date we called in for breakfast, it was closed and did not open until after 2pm. There must have been a good reason for this, but the management did not see fit to mention it on their website nor put the reason for it "in the window". Nor was there an apology for any inconvenience caused posted in the window! Not good enough by any standard. It was open at 9.30am on day 2. The food choices and quality are what one comes to expect. The staff were pleasant and served the food quickly. The one downside to this particular venue is the seating. Way too many tables meant that all too often chairs of nearby tables virtually touched each other, making walking in and around a challenge, let alone the too close for comfort of the other diners. Clearly this seams to have little effect on patronage as it was very busy on both days we visited. However, in my book, not up to standard due to the poor seating arrangements and the lack of explanation/apology for the late opening.

Food is excellent and reasonable never had a bad meal or service

A Wetherspoons pub with friendly staff

Good beer before watching the town.

Quite busy for the middle of the afternoon. Had a bite to eat and a few drinks. Very pleasant

Good pint. Excellent fish, with crispy batter and chips. Good place to visit. Lovely tasty Monday meal!!

Large Wetherspoon's pub. Cheap alcohol and efficient bar staff.

Good place nice food friendly staff

Not the first time in this establishment, I really liked it. During the course, you get the feeling that you are in a library, but 🙂, there is always a but...

As ever decent food at good prices,served efficiently.

Good Friday. A tasty table topping clash with the Dragons of Wrexham beckons as The Stags cross the border into Wales. The homework says don't go here; its gonna be filled with hostile locals. But there's a problem. You see, when we go away, we tend to avoid the police recommended outlets as they are probably going to selling overpriced weak beers in plastic pots and you'll be 10 deep at the bar. No thanks, we'll stick to the Spoons if you don't mind. Only problem is the options are either in Chester or even further away in Liverpool. So the plan is to go to this one in civvies, keep schtum, order off the app and maybe even wear a bit of red. And It worked. Matchday. We parked round the corner, number plate a bit of a giveaway, security on the door who see no issue with 2 couples of certain senior years. I mean, why would they? We consider ourselves to be ambassadors for our club and believe nothing is to be gained by making a fool of oneself. Once inside, its busy, Very busy. We are fortunate to arrive just as table of 4 are about to leave, the alternative being standing up as the majority of the chairs have been taken aside to give more room. Good thinking. There's plenty of staff on duty which is good, ordering on the app worked first time but not on the second so had to order from the bar. With the atmosphere in there quite noisy I'm nonetheless served quite quickly and efficiently, proper glasses, well kept beers only a few pence more than in my own local spoons and nobody picked up the accent - which was handy! Both clubs have had arduous and testing journeys and we'll have a laugh with anybody bearing good intentions Didn't have food as we were just there for the beers so couldn't comment on what it that experience would be like on a different or non matchday. Hopefully both our teams will be promoted and should we chance a return here, then with a bit of preparation once again, we would have no hesitation returning. Hopefully with a more favourable score line next time around! Just a quick thanks again for the team for their hard work and for looking after us. Also the local constabulary who were very helpful unlike those in Scunthorpe last year. Said we'd give you a good review which is the least we could do...

Great day had by all. Cheap Guinness helps. Pizza not too bad either. And to round it off a 1 nil win for Tranmere

Another well presented witherspoon pub Which at the time we visited was surprisingly very busy. We ordered two small breakfasts with hot drinks. Breakfast was OK and arrived in record time, but both were just warm at best. This appears to be a very common issue with witherspoon. Perhaps slow down a bit, and you will see hot food goes down a lot better than just warm. Personally, I don't think anyone expects their food in two minutes

A good Spoons with interesting cask beers.

Smashing spoons in the heart of the town

Went for a "cheap and cheerful" lunch and was not disappointed apart from the toilets ..... do not except to see a sanitary bin with no lid on!

What can you say about a witherspoon pub good value for drinks, mediocre food, but clean and welcoming.

Does what it says on the tin, Wetherspoons are pretty standard. Although I prefer my local one.

Wrexham game day great atmosphere very affordable drinks highly recommended

Saturday 10th February 2024 This is a really nice Weatherspoons a wellstaffed and busy place This place would have got 5 stars, but for the lack of guest hand pumped ales on today

I like the whetherspoons in wrexham especially for breakfast. Great vegan and veggie breakfast, lovely poached eggs, pleasant staff and the ability to order via the app is great. Almost forget its in wrexham 😃

Great value and excellent service

I am giving this place a good review because it is a lovely building. And I can't complain about unlimited hot drinks for £1.40.

A good ambience for your all-day entertainment, beverages, and food. Service is excellent. The chicken wings fry is very delicious 😋

Always brilliant, good wholesome food and drink at excellent value, we just love spoons

Was in Wetherspoons last week, and got served by a ginger lady I think her name was carys, amazing service, very quick. Served a very good pint was so polite to me and everyone around her. Made sure she acknowledged all of us and everyone else at the bar was an £80 order and got all our drinks to us very quick on our works do. Would defo go back 👍🏻

Ordered a char grilled half chicken with a Naga sauce coating, was served upside down with the ribs on show. Not appetising at all, looked like it had been dropped on floor and booted around the kitchen before the 2 pieces being reconnected and served. Chips over cooked. Not the best I've had. Becoming a regular thing here with the "chef" not seeming to know which is the right side of a half chicken to char grill or coat.

It's a Wetherspoon, so you know what to expect: fine food and drinks for a great price.

Went in for a quick bite with the family, amazing staff on. Food came out quickly. Definitely recommend and will be back 😊

Breakfast not as good as leominster staff lovely as always

Very disappointed tonight, ordered large fish and it was so thin id be surprised if if it was a small. Basically paid over £10 for a slither of fish and the rest batter with chips. Left hungry, certainly won't be ordering it again.

Staff are good,sometimes under difficult times.

Pretty busy, but got a table and food, good value.

Great cheap drinks, nice location - inside and out and easy to find. We didn’t eat so can’t pass comment on the food.

Great service , prices and very pleasant staff

Decent ale and a great atmosphere particularly on match days when it is tricky to get a table standing room only. However service is always good and ale is decent.

Great as always. Tried the Christmas pizza and it was delicious, definitely worth a try! Quick service despite it being very busy.

The first time we have visited Wetherspoons Wrexham for over 2 years we had a few drinks then decided to have some food we ordered the All day brunch and lasagne,the food was served within 10 minutes and was ever so tasty.We will be back in the near future.

More than adequate, would return

Great service, amazing decor! Food was Immaculate would defo return👍🏻

Nice for a pint and food before the game. Quick staff on the bar

Absolutely diabolical service, meal forgotten to be served, had to remind staff more than once! When eventually served, (person who was in my company had finished their meal) it was of very poor quality indeed compared to other Wetherspoons! Shall not be returning in the very near future!

Nice food always good value for the money...

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL experience, the waitress ruined my entire evening. She was rude, cocky and extremely unprofessional. I hope she loses her job

One young big girl who works there very nasty and rude with the customer and workers.i went with the family and there was few lads and girls enjoying them self not do no harm the big worker come and told them to leave she a very horrible girls she needs the sack.. I will be phoning head office. As I have proof how nasty she is and a lier

Great place to wait for a bus to Bala

Nice pub, bigger inside than I thought it would be, only had drink so can't say much about it, but would go again

Too crowded on a rainy day to eat

Not a place I'd be keen to revisit.

Nice Wetherspoons located in the town centre. Pleasant friendly staff with quick efficient service. Steak pudding with chips and peas was very nice and well presented. Also the skinny chicken burger was very tasty and decent portion. Worth a visit if in need for refreshments in Wrexham.

I ordered a burger with chips and salad. On the burger, I've seen bigger 50p pieces, the chips they must count them onto the plate and salad is not a slice of tomato and one quarter of a lettuce leaf. Please take note Mr Martin.

Visited matchday.Controlled entrance lots of staff good ales.

One of the nicest Wetherspoon's we've been to and we've visited a few over the years. The food is pretty consistent between the various pubs but the one thing I noticed here was how much cleaner and nicely presented everything was. There was actually someone going round clearing and cleaning the tables without having to be asked at least three times. Ladies toilet was clean too (cannot vouch for the gents) in contrast to the shameful ones where I used to live down south. The only minor niggle is that the chips weren't particularly hot but overall, it wasn't a deal breaker that will prevent us returning next time we are in Wrexham.

First time I have any criticism of this chain. We eat here 4/5 times a week, had panini’s but may as well of ordered dry bread! Tiny piece of ham and cheese that covered a tiny bit of the panini and ver dry! The bacon cheese and bbq chicken was the same and no bbq chicken on, disgusting 🤢

Pint of san miguel I had from here was the worst tasting pint i've ever had in my life. Not sure if there was dirty pipes or what but it was completely undrinkable

Go there for a breakfast on the weekend and it was cold when put on table, staff offered my a fresh one but I declined as this is not the 1st time it's happened. It hit and miss there and it wasn't even busy..shame 😢

If I wanted a microwave meal would have brought 1 NOT HAPPY STAFF BRILLIANT BUT FOOD BAD FOR

Didn't get my change, which was also witnessed by another customer. The manager then told me I had received my change & there was camera footage of this BUT that customers weren't allowed to see this footage! Very bizarre

Visited on match day. So always going to be busy, but managed to get a seat

mega busy at lunch time, struggled to find table however food was served quiet quickly.

Don't come here on a match day - unless you're a Wrexham supporter !!!. Gets very busy and noisy !!

Called in for a pint before going onto a gig in town. Staff were rude to the point of being belligerent. Drunk up and went elsewhere

Enjoyed my food and then noticed all the flies around the bar. Yuk. Staff lovely. Very busy and noisy, difficult to have a conversation.

I always find this particular spoons welcoming. Staff are always very good and special mention goes to Sarah who always goes out of her way to make you welcome.

Spoons#125 Had Miners Benedict, very nice, like normal but with Black pudding it was very tasty. Dark and gloomy inside away from the windows, bright at the front but looked clean and staff were nice, very efficient Tv screen for sport with subtitles Unusually for a Spoons the toilets are downstairs or upstairs these are at ground level also typically no car park Accessible entrance and toilets Bit of character former uses are a theatre and shops

Good location, plenty of seats cheap drinks,

Enjoyed my afternoon chicken burger and chips, a with becks blue for a great price. Thks guys.

Proper pub with jolly people around, great neighbourhood and central locality, very safe location. Staff was great at handling huge football day crowds with ease and smile. Cheerful environment and not so expensive drinks.

I love a Full English/Welsh breakfast once a week/fortnight and Wethers hits the spot.

Great, hard-working, very efficient staff. pub was very busy, but food and drinks came very fast, and tables cleaned within a minute. we came down from Liverpool and will definitely come back

As always, service here was impeccable. Great selection of food and drinks with brilliant value for money. Wetherspoons is always a resting point on my way through. Nice to see some of the old staff returning - always friendly faces.
