The Ffrwd in Flintshire

Attended as part of a party of 25 which we booked plenty in advance for a family event. We were sat on 3 tables but all fairly together with plenty of room and not overcrowded. The staff were very helpful and took our orders. The food came out promptly and together (as much as you can serving our size of party). All orders were correct and of their usual high quality, decent size portions which were hot and tasty. The service was excellent and can’t thank the team at the Ffrwd for accommodating us. We all managed to park in their car park across the road from the premises.

Superb roast meats ..chicken,beef and lamb with roast potatoes and vegetables.

Absolutely terrible. Went there for a Easter meal with the family, the food came on a share platter which made things extremely difficult to dish out and made it so there was not enough food to go round. We order drinks that didn't come and the tables were so crammed together it felt like I was eating a meal with the table next to us. 0/5 stars if I could.

I would personally not recommend especially for large parties and children. No room what so ever. No one explained the platters, was definitely not enough food for 10 people as we were giving the same amount as a table of 6. No menus, had to ask for some and then told it’s on a board so ended up having to take pictures to tell the table of the options. Ordered drinks that never arrived and had to wait for almost 20 minutes after asking to order dessert for them to come and take the order. Ended up leaving before even getting the dessert. Finally no parking at all.

5 of us dined , all the meals were very good. We will be revisiting in the near future to hopefully enjoy more selections

Absolutely wonderful fun delicious 😋 food.. well worth the visit.

The best roast beef I've ever had! The lamb was perfect too, more than enough for even the largest of appetites. A perfect sunday roast.

Overall great experience... Food was lovely, I just wished there were different options on the night... The staff were very lovely and accommodating...

Nipped in for a quick drink on new years eve. Restaurant and bar was closing down for a 6.30 pm closure. Pleasant drink in a nice environment. Will have to go back and try again. Craft beers and plenty of shorts on offer. Menu looked good.

Amazing food, great service and a lovely atmosphere, definitely recommend.

Great food, Sunday roast better than mine and that’s a big ask ha. Some none sugar free drinks wouldn’t go a miss. Rather pay the extra, than wash down my lovely food with aspartame laced drinks

Food is wonderful as always, We enjoy going there

Food was lovely, staff where very nice, clean pub, well worth a visit

Fabulous..food beautiful, tasty and very well presented..

Brilliant food here....I ain't gunna lie... well done guys keep up the great work🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

No one ever replies to Facebook messenger regarding bookings and when you all the pub it either doesn’t answer or they put the phone down on you. Clearly a very unpleasant place to be

Excellent value for money. Different way of presenting the Sunday lunch on platter for all, mixed. Outside area need more attention,. Staff very friendly, but would prefer ordering at the table rather than the bar..

Absolutely fabulous Sunday dinner couldn't be faulted. We hadn't been to the Ffrwd for a while partly due to the lockdowns, but we weren't disappointed and will certainly return. Great value for money, delicious food and good service. Thank you 😊

Food is always wonderful and great value. Only 4 stars today, we were a party of 5 with 1 vegetarian, veggie option was just 6 stuffing balls! Also we asked for more gravy, the meat eaters got theirs, but despite asking 5 times for more veggie gravy it didn't arrive

Just home from the Ffrwd for Sunday lunch, it was faultless. There were 6 of us and we had the beef, lamb, pork and turkey so between us pretty much covered the menu options. The medley of vegetables were perfect with mashed potato to die for. Those that had puddings throughly enjoyed them. Excellent value for money. And would highly recommend.

I'd recommend some reviewers doing their research beforehand. I'm pescetarian and was vegan for a few years and I'd always check a menu beforehand. The food here is always top draw and I get the price might be an issue but this is PROPER food not some frozen blandness at W*ethers. Never been employed by the establishment either 😜

Tried for a drink at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and were promptly turned away. Despite at least 30 covers being unoccupied we were told that all tables were booked and the 'overflow' area was full. I find if hard to believe that all covers were arriving at precisely 3pm and no attempt was made to say that at least once table could accommodate us for 30 minutes. Staff could not be bothered to check timings and were close on rude in turning us away. Not the way to treat prospective customer so would suggest staff training required as busy as you are (maybe) customer service and welcome was a lot to be desired. Very disappointed and for a country pub that requires drop in customers not the way to great promote its welcome.

We were recommended to come by a friend. Am I glad we did! Hands down the nicest Sunday roast I’ve ever tasted. Some other reviews have said the food isn’t good and staff unhelpful. Far from it all staff we interacted with were extremely friendly and keen to ensure we enjoyed our food. Rest assured we will be back!!

Absolutely fantastic food with a great atmosphere would recommend to anyone

place looks a little run down dont let that put you off foods amazing

This simply is the best place for a Sunday lunch. The meat was perfect and the veg lovely. I know the layout is not the best and there's no bitter on draft but the food and staff are top drawer. Treat yourself to a Sunday dinner you will never forget.

Enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

I never have sunday dinner out, as I can cook....however Sunday dinner out is best eaten here!

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch, 6 meals 3 meats loads of vegetables. Fabulous value. Book people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went here yesterday for the first time as a party of 10. The food and service were excellent. Highly recommended and we will definitely go back

Our favourite place to eat outside Chester. We have been coming to treat ourselves for over 5 years and never disappointed. This time we brought our Spanish friends for Friday dinner. We all loved our food. Steaks were cooked as requested and chef kindly shared Fish pie. Serving girls were very helpful and attentive. We see you soon.

Good Sunday lunch & sweets were delicious too. We were the only group there (4 of us) so service was good. Our driver ordered iced water.....we've never been charged for tap water before but we were on this occasion - thought this a bit excessive as the rest of us were paying for alcoholic drinks. The menu board is in the doorway so difficult to view with other customers coming in or leaving the pub but the waiter did bring the blackboard to us when we ordered our desserts.

Lets start with the car park, which is across the road which my elderly parents were nervous crossing, leaving was even worse as it's on a bend and not safe to pull out of. We sat for ages at our table, waiting for someone to bring the menu, finally I went to the bar to ask and was shown the menu - an oversized blackboard by the door that I had to hijack and take to the table so everyone could read as it was in the doorway. I asked about vegetarian options and was told that, if I didn't eat fish, I could have goats cheese risotto or a starter made up as a main course (sorry, but there's only so much garlic bread I can eat!). Luckily I eat fish, I say luckily because about 50% of the menu was fish! I went for the cod and chips, but the fish still had it's skin on and the batter was soggy, so it wasn't particularly appetising and I left half, the chips had no taste at all. The gammon for my parents came with no veg or salad. My sister's chicken kiev was dry. Over priced mediocre food. It's not exactly cheap and so you expect a little more. You'll be disappointed. At the prices they're charging, get some menus printed, employ staff who don't think that Hake and Cod are the same thing (news to me!), find a new chef and get a mirror put up so people have a chance of getting out of the car park alive, oh, and put some effort into the toilets, even a sign telling you where they are would be a start, but they're tired and dirty looking. I won't be returning and have cancelled a booking I'd made for my works party.

Absolutely shocking. I felt like Gordon Ramsey critiquing, but by god he’s the only person who can save that place Consider you book in advance, no one bats an eyelid when you walk in. Just giant menus to look at right next to the door. The music goes from 10 back-to-back stereophonics b-sides, to alien ant farm and blink 182? Love those bands but it was bizarre. Then the food… **** me. More moisture in a twigglet. Got the deserts for free because there was bits of R2 D2 found in both. First ever trip advisor review I’ve ever done. Might seem harsh to some, I know. A restaurant that seems to of been there for ever… if it was spoons then I’d of let it slide. But to charge £18-£28 for their meals? Surely ******* not 1.5/10

Very large and tasty portions. Delicious food. Well worth a visit and don't forget your cash...

Really good food and plenty of it. Staff excellent 👏

Gosh, what can I say. The food is out of this world, two courses but we couldn't manage our sweets but they were boxed up for us to take home. Good food, friendly staff. Win win.

Food as always is excellent, although the decor could now do with a refurbishment

Had Sunday lunch here. Fantastic. Could not fault it. Great food, big portions, good service, highly recommended.

Felt like i got ripped off for the money , no menus just a board by the door that was in a walkway where customers where trying to get in so felt very akward.One of are party orded the 10 oz rib-eye steak for £28 it said with all the trimmings and all it came with was chips and peas and whatever sauce you wanted , thats not all the trimming in my opinion for that price , another member of my party ordered gammon and chips at £16 and it was just gammon and chips with an egg on top , no peas and side salad again i would expect more for the price . There was 10 of us squashed onto a table that was not big enough for the party and our elbows where touching each other, it may be home cooked food but not value for money ,won't be going back .

Excellent food & more than enough. Made from fresh so expect a bit of a wait but nothing excessive

Get past the outside it badly needs makover, but inside is charming friendly staff. Menue is constantly changing, and food is superb. There are some deals on occasionally

Not impressed prices high and portions too big if you like large portions this is the place for you. Long wait for food. Might go back to try curry and a pint night but I am not in any rush.

Family run pub with great food and a selection of cask beers.

Excellent food, great price for the curry and a pint

Amazing place with beautiful food. I felt compelled to write a review on this village pub/ restaurant after reading some of the other negative comments on here. I have been here many times with my friends/ family and children and is always one of our first choices when choosing to dine out. This is a traditional family run business which offers a large selection of traditional home cooked food. Every meal served here is delicious and a VERY generous portion and will leave you feeling well stuffed! The negative comments on here do make an interesting read however but I would really not pay any attention, they often come from people who either want something for nothing or have their head shoved so far up their own arse they don’t know what decent food is. if this is you, go to McDonald’s or a Brewers fair where meals are pre-packed crap. Book this place, you will not be disappointed- your welcome :)

Walked in and the girl behind the bar (wearing a coat still) didn’t even aknowledge us…. Took our drink order at the bar when she got to us and pointed our table out. I ordered a soft drink, they’re all just cans. My partner ordered a pint, it smelt of wet dog. The menus are big chalk boards by the door, so you have to stand and squash between a door and the bar to read the menu. The menus are big and look absolutely great. Unfortunately it was better on paper than on the plate. Ordered starters, took 30 minutes to come out. I had garlic prawns, they were on garlic bread which was soggy in oil and grease. Not what I expected and it was horrible. My partner had chicken kebabs. It was literally a slither of chicken on a stick. It was so dry one half fell off when he touched it with a fork. Next we both ordered the steak, £30 each. Sirloin steak, all the trimmings, and a sauce. My steak was AWFUL covered in lumps of fat and tasted of leather. My partners wasn’t much better. I ordered the peppercorn sauce, it was yellow, like custard and made me feel physically sick. ‘All the trimmings’ was chopped mushrooms, onion rings (basically no onion just greasy batter) and a bowl of peas (between 2) and a bowl of chips (between 2) I couldn’t even eat mine so they did offer something else, which I declined so they took it off the bill, which I appreciated until we could hear them slagging us off in the kitchen pointing out that the other steak was fine…. Toilets - dead flies on walls, and I thought the toilet was grey but it was dust. Restaurant - cold, holes in wall, heater next to us splattered in grease and food. Staff - ok but need a waitress to take orders and treat it like a restaurant when paying £30 for meals! It’s not cheap, seems like they don’t actually have a clear vision for the place. Menus - look amazing!!! Just need someone that can cook it.

Food was really good. Interior was good. Outside could do with a good tidy up.

The Ffrwd holds a dear spot in my heart, as it consistently delivers an exceptional experience of warmth, excellent food, and delightful surprises. As a frequenter of this cozy establishment, I can attest to the remarkable quality and flavors that their pub grub offers, providing a sense of comfort and satisfaction with every visit. While The Ffrwd's menu may consist of traditional pub fare, the dishes are elevated with exceptional attention to detail and flavor combinations. Each meal is lovingly prepared, creating a memorable dining experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. It's no wonder that I find myself returning time and time again to savor the delicious cuisine in this welcoming environment. One charming aspect of The Ffrwd that sets it apart is the occasional visit from local cats in the evenings. For cat lovers, this delightful occurrence adds an extra layer of warmth and charm to the experience. The Ffrwd's embrace of the local feline community speaks to the establishment's welcoming and friendly atmosphere

Top of the range - 6 of us dined to celebrate a birthday . We were lucky enough to dine on the 241 offer. The porterhouse steak was amazing and beautifully cooked it was served with the usual suspects all homemade and delicious. The ffrwd is a firm favourite in our house and we can’t recommend it highly enough. You will not be disappointed and the staff are all lovely.

Visited Saturday night with my husband to be and after reading a few bad reviews I was a little nervous but I really needed not to be, it was quiet and we sat in the conservatory. Nice warm fire going in the bar we ordered the fish pie and steak and ale pie.. it arrived after a long wait but omg was it worth it. Huge portions the fish pie was full of salmon,cod ( I think) and 3 king prawns topped with cheesy mash, chips and peas on the side, steak pie was full of steak and yummy gravy and huge pastry on top. It was delicious 😋 all menus are on boards as they change often. Good Shiras wine and a double gin with mixer £6.50 lots of choice in gins. Service was friendly too.Overall we were amazed we will definitely be returning soon.

Most amazing home cooked food! Never had a bad meal their food is delicious.

Just had the curry Wednesday at the ffrwdd with my family 2nite absolutely banging.

We all had a lovely meal . The food was cooked perfectly. It’s the nicest steak I’ve had in a while . Excellent service .

Once again we had a lovely meal . Everything was cooked perfectly & the service was excellent.

Great food will definitely be returning

Just been and enjoyed the fish pies, lovely fresh pieces of fish and king prawns topped with a lovely cheddar mash. Just can not understand negative reviews for the sunday lunch either, The staff are all happy to serve you and explain the offers and menu clearly. The Menu is clearly displayed on the "Boards" along with terms and conditions. It is not a Toby Csrvery, nor a Brwers Fayre, but a family run establishment that has welcoming and friendly staff serving an extensive range of lagers bitter and dark beer, with a vast array of gins, whisky and brandy. You leave well fed and content with the service you receive.

The least welcoming place we have ever visited as a family. Poor ordering system, menu on a board by the door then the ludicrous policy of not letting a 1 yr old have a spare plate without them being physically in a high chair (telling them the child would be sat in it when the food had cooled down on a plate wasn't good enough). Arrogant and incompetent manager followed up by an owner who couldn't care less an excused their behaviour by blaming issues with previous adult customers trying to get freebies as if it was applicable. Left without dessert despite it being in the meal order because of how bad the experience was. I'm not one to run a place down but this was shocking and if you are a parent especially stay well clear

Have just returned from the worst dining experience.We asked for a plate for my 1 year old granddaughter and were told that they could only bring it when she was physically sitting in the high chair.The food arrived, piping hot and we again asked for a plate in order for it to cool down before she ate.This was refused, The owner came out at our request and proceeded to tell us that he has been cheated by many customers and that is why they had the rules. His attitude and that of one of the bar staff was completely unwelcoming.We would certainly not return and never recommend it.

Amazing quality food and staff were lovely

Firstly, we were sat on the smallest table on three small stools, we got moved to a different table it was absolutely freezing in there, no complaints about the food but during our visit we were experiencing bad smells by our table, thought it might be the toilets. After our meal I looked to my left and saw a pile of faeces on the floor, we let the staff know,

fantastic food and great staff.

Well me and my wife where looking for some where that doesn't have a Marstons menu and we visited the ffryd pub I used to go there back in the days before the served food I remember a coal fire burning away nice beer good staff we wasn't disappointed I had a chicken curry and the wife had there Burger top class food and the staff where the tops defo be going back there to try there food again many thanks.

The most amazing Sunday roast ever

Great honest home cooked food cooked well .. you won't be disappointed . Me and the wife were thoroughly stuffed for the rest of the day ... Doggy bag for pudding next time me thinks 🤔 😜 Keep up the good work and we'll see you again ..... Ps .. don't forget to ware your stretchy pants ...LOL 🤣😅🤣

My husband and myself had Sunday lunch again today ( 13th November 2022 ). Once again the service, staff and food was amazing! Definitely one of the best places in and.around Wrexham to go for food. Give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed....

Been there a couple of times recently, last time a party of eight, everyone throughly enjoyed the meal, portion size was great, good value for money, Young serving staff a little lack of experience visible, but hay I'm sure they will improve with experience would definitely recommend As for opening time thats easy phone or check website

Popped in Saturday evening whilst visiting my mum nearby and wow we certainly weren’t disappointed! The food was fabulous. One of the best fish pies I’ve had for years and the home made chips were to die for. Very generous portions so as much as I tried I couldn’t finish it all sadly. Can’t wait to go back and try something else off the menu next trip 👍

Lovely meal definitely worth a visit

Fantastic Sunday lunch for 6 people, you will not be disappointed. Plenty of food. Great service to.

I’m afraid my review is not good. I made a booking for a table of 7 earlier in the afternoon. Upon arrival I noticed a board outside the entrance stating that on some days of the week it was two main courses for the price of one. That sounded like a good deal. Sat at our table and quite promptly a young waitress appeared and asked what we would like to drink. So far so good. We received the drinks and waited for the menus to brought to the table. We must have waited ten minutes. I then asked the waitress and was informed that the menu was in the other room on a board against the wall. This should have been pointed out when the drinks were brought ti the table. Two of our party have mobility problems so another person with us took a photograph of the main course board. This board must have been about five feet tall. The top half explaining the ‘rules’ of qualification for the two for one deal. You had to buy a drink, alcoholic or soft drink, and if there was an odd number in your party, one would have to pay the full price. There were about five to six boards around the bar area showing starters, mains, desserts, champagne offers, etc. This was too much to view on a smart phone, so each of our party had to physically look for themselves. I was shocked at the prices. Fish & chips & mushy peas £18 - Steak £30 - Burger £18. However, when you divide by two because of the offer, then the price was pretty good. Unfortunately, I don’t think the offer of two for one applied to everyday of the week. At those advertised prices, I expected the food to be top notch. It wasn’t. I had belly pork with medallions of pork and pulled pork, with chips and salad! Never had it with salad before and rarely with chips. Mashed potato perhaps would be a better option. Three of our meals were overcooked, including mine. We had two vegetarians in our group and the choice was very limited to a couple of fish dishes. If they had been vegan, there would not have been anything suitable. We were told that if we had told them sooner, they could have got something in for us! One of our party had a one year old child and when we asked a waitress if they had baby changing facilities, she replied that she didn’t know. Didn’t offer to go and find out. The young lady behind the bar was very good but unfortunately the two very young waitresses were inexperienced and uninformed. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night but none of us will be returning there.

Nice cosy pub. Massive portions of tasty food!

Fantastic home cooked food at a reasonable price. Don't expect small portions either The puddings are all home made and delicious

Great food as always however a tad pricey for normal menu.

Nice garden , very nice people around and sometimes live bands !!!

Brilliant. Fabulous food and drink.

First ever visit the homemade steak pie was so tasty lovely experience from start to finish well done

They do NOT take card payments CASH ONLY But beautiful meals at reasonable prices ..

Decided at fairly short notice that 6 of us fancied Sunday lunch at the Ffrwd. I rang to book a table but could only leave a voice mail (to be fair they were closed at the time). I got a call back an hour later...

We went on a Wednesday which was curry night. Lush.

Perhaps a little out of the way butt well worth a visit. Mon/Tues 2 for I deal was worth a trip. Swordfish at £24 might seem a bit dear, but was very nice indeed. Simple butter/prawn sauce with a small dish of mayo & bowl...

Sunday roast we had was delicious could not fault it, highly recommended.

How was the Ffrwd? It's ok when it's open! Have been 3 times durong the week and it's been closed twice, so wont bother again! On the one occasion it was open it was a nice home cooked food but now will stick to places you can rely on being open!

Originally booked a table for Sunday lunch for 6 people then a couple of friends said they wanted to come at short notice. I called to change the reservation to 8 and although they were very busy they moved a couple of tables to accommodate...

The secret of the Ffrwd is quality - the ingredients, the preparation, the skilful level of the cuisine - and then there is the generosity! Take for example the scallops /chorizo starter, impeccably cooked and would be a main dish in most restaurants, or the...

Myself and my family had gone to the Ffrwd for a meal to celebrate a birthday. My partner had our nephew in his arms as he was upset. My partner was wiggling one of the plants and the baby was laughing. The chef/owner then waved...

Amazing home cooked food... can't wait to return.

Well worth it. Excellent menu variety, clean tables, super friendly staff and swift service. Large portion and reasonable prices. Tables seated with plenty of room and not cramped. Car park is opposite it which is easy to miss. Highly recommend.

Incredible sunday lunch! Thought expensive at first but then it arrived and instantly knew...... this was going to be a very special hour. Sensational.

Always have a lovely meal.....do a great curry night on a Wednesday. Need to book first though.And do some great special offers during the week nights

Fantastic food. Lovely staff and we will see you soon ☺️

Fantastic pub great value meals - never disappointed and I've been going for 28 years. The quality of the food served is exceptional

Over priced for the quality of the meal

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best Sunday roast we have ever had out of our own home. Couldn't recommend enough

Lovely. Fresh cooked and delicious with a little.to.much to eat. Delicious roast potatoes and more than enough meat. The staff were very friendly although didn't have the information to answer questions about the menu. The extra gravy jug is a nice touch and serving the platter too. I can see that this place is being pushed in a modern contemporary direction and based 8n the experience Iwould say it is being done successfully and they are not trying to run before they can walk. Two minor constructive criticisms. Allow customers to choose either a starter or a dessert as the two course choice for Sunday lunch is the only option think dietary needs if its less profitable cost some cheaper starters for the Sunday roast menu. Please.please upgrade the stuffing you serve because it was flavourless and like dry cardboard. What you offer from such a small kitchen is a great achievement and your nearby competitor is miles behind you and your staff lovely. I am.so.pleased to have found you. You are superb and delicious and I just wanted to say thank you for being you. So for all.concerned If you want good food its got to be Ffrwd. You will no doubtedly go from strength to strength

Food is excellent, portions are large.

I previously left a review for this pub quite a few years ago. Let’s just say it was less than positive. However upon recommendation from friends we tried this restaurant about three weeks ago. All I can say is wow. The food is amazing, the...

Sunday lunch was amazing and the sticky toffee pudding was the nicest EVER..

Great food, nice pub. Portions verging on too big for some people. Some small plates options be good for some people to save good waste.

Great food, garlic bread was lovely, will be visiting again
