The Glynne Arms in Flintshire

Great little cozy comfortable pub, very good service, and nice food.

My husband and I have been twice in a row this weekend due to the delicious food and wonderful staff. The food is some of the best we’ve ever eaten and we are gutted it’s not closer to home! Kelly was fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us. Would give 10 stars if we could!!

We called in for a pub lunch on Wednesday at about 1pm. We spent 10 minutes choosing from the menu, both opting for a ham and tomato sandwich. We were then informed that there was no ham. My friend then chose the soup of the day, broccoli and stilton, and I chose the cheese toastie. After a 40 minute wait, I asked if there was a delay and was told that the chef was making the soup from scratch. What? At lunch time? Ridiculous! My toastie arrived with the soup. Two thick slices of toast with a thin layer of cheese and a few crisps. It was incredibly dry and almost impossible to swallow - £8 - ridiculous! The barman was very casual and did not apologise for our wait - almost an hour! Very disappointed. Won't be back.

Usually enjoy a meal at the Glynn so I was disappointed at lunch time to wait nearly one hour for the soup of the day broccoli and Stilton to be served. Apparently they had to make it from scratch. Service too slow even though there were only a few persons in at midday.

Popped into the Glynne for lunch earlier today. Limited menu as the Chef’s were off. Ham & Cheese toastie was excellent. Great choice of beers, and friendly/polite service from the lady at the bar. Loved the decor in the pubtoo. Will definitely be back when the kitchen is fully open

The food was scrumptious, the atmosphere lovely and quiet - perfect for conversing and enjoying a great meal together, and George who waited our table was attentive, timely, a pleasure to chat with and provided all around fantastic service! Really enjoyed our meal and had a lovely lovely time. Thanks George!

Thank you for looking after us so well on Saturday night, excellent service and tasty food.

Had a delicious Sunday lunch at The Glynne Arms yesterday superb roast beef and chicken with Yorkshire pudding and fresh veg. We can definitely recommend the tiramisu cheesecake!! Great service too.

Lovely local pub with friendly staff

Tasty food, fast service, very polite and friendly young staff. Great music and good atmosphere.

Amazing pub great food and great selection of beers. We will be back to try more

Lovely bar food, quirky alcove area, play board games while you wait for your food to arrive.

We were staying locally and called in a few times during our stay. Lovely pub, very dog friendly with an interesting menu. I had the Korean celeriac burger, the bap was a bit hard, so I left it, but the burger was very tasty. Some nice gins available & the beer garden is lovely.

One of the best meals I've ever eaten, in a lovely setting with delightful service and very agreeable locals. Perfect evening. But please put the sign with the name back up, otherwise it looks a bit weird and forbidding from the high street!

Been here a few times lately and have to say George makes the visit very pleasant, you can tell he really enjoys his job! What a great asset to have around here in Hawarden!

Love it here. I love pubs that adore dogs, and this is one pub that does. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Staff are polite, and customers are chatty and join in and speak amongst one another, particularly when they sat outside.

Dog friendly there are two pubs open in the village, this is the high end with high end prices. The beer is very good, I found the wine really expensive but that could just be me, I rarely buy wine in a pub. 2 large glasses of white came in at £18. The menu is small but perfectly formed if you like what is on it. The food excellent but quite pricey. Surrounding are well done and comfy, there is blankets if you are a bit cold, shouldn't be in June but it is the UK in 20024. Staff were lovely Dog was made a fuss of , there is a selection of water bowls and a treat jar. Didn't visit the beer garden, it was too chilly on the days we visited.

I would like to Thank Anita and all the staff for all there help and assistance at my daughter Simone’s wedding on Saturday nothing was to much trouble and they made a special day even more special the food and day was excellent as was the night time reception and the DJ thanks again for looking after everyone Greg

I love this place! I went to chat with a friend over dinner. They only had a bar menu, which was small. I had a cheese and ham toasty with chips. I couldn't eat it all. It was the best cheese and ham toasty I have ever had and I'm 60 soon.

A beautiful dog friendly pub that is always warm and welcoming. Gorgeous food lovely atmosphere and great staff.

Came in for a beer. Nice.thanks.

Lovely Sunday lunch, friendly service, very dog friendly, though we didn't have our dog with us on this particular visit.

I agree with the other comments regarding the customer service, it was very slow and the staff weren’t very attentive. The roast was nice but not the best, very thin gravy, just boiled veggie and the roasties tasted a bit stale. The beef and yorkshires were lovely however. The starters and dessert were nice (although we had to wait nearly 40 minutes for the dessert). Not sure I’ll be back for a roast anytime soon but I’d love to try dinner one evening!

This is a great pub - friendly, professional and accessible. The staff are fantastic and we had two very good lunches here, plus drinks. No problem getting seated for my disabled partner. The range of beers was excellent. If we were local - this would be our local.

Been refreshed / redecorated recently and food is consistently brilliant. Dinner this evening was great. The only downside again is dog owners, allowing their dogs on the tables and furniture. I have no real problem with dogs, but the pub should have a sign and enforce prevention of dogs being all over the dining seating / eating areas. Should be banned entirely from restaurant area. Gross. We love the Glynne. Hate dogs being allowed on dining / seating areas.

The biweekly quiz night as Sundays at 7 PM. George is hilarious and the questions are a great mix of tricky and hilarious. A wonderful evening out with good drinks and warm and welcoming hosts!

Decent old style pub which also serves decent food.

The staff team on today were incredible. Had two young guys look after us, who were both obliging, professional, timely, and had characters. Great food for us all, Good variety on the menu, seasonal and veggie options, cheese lovers options and the broad options of carnivorous fayre.. Plenty of ale options and shorts. Comfortable and most importantly, dogs are welcome. Will definitely visit again.

Fabulous welcome and service from George - lovely lad, thank you ! Good beer selection, lovely tasties from the snack menu.

Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch Honestly not had one this good in a very long time the beef and lamb were outstanding would seriously recommend

Did not eat this time but good pint and good service

Fantastic food, good service, and at a reasonable price. Very clean and cosy.

Visited for a meal at lunch time, great service and great food - the fish pie is excellent!

Very enjoyable and lovely food, will definitely return

Had such a lovely dinner tonight. Went for a vegetarian option despite not being vegetarian, just because it sounded interesting. I was not disappointed, it was absolutely delicious. My husband really enjoyed his steak too. The desserts were also so good. Couldn’t fault the service and the pub was busy with a lively but relaxed atmosphere. So lucky to have this on our doorstep.

We had a walk though the Hawarden Estate and stopped for lunch. The Sunday lunch was superb. Every mouthful a treat. We will be back highly recommended.

The experience from start to finish was absolutely perfect. We walked in on spec as a group of 4, a table was found in the restaurant, starters, main meals and drinks were excellent, the staff were friendly, attentive and professional. The attention to detail was above and beyond throughout the evening - The Glynne Arms is not one to be missed. Thanks Again 👍🏻

A great pub, good and staff excellent Very dog friendly

Fantastic!!! After a long walk we had booked a table but we were early and had decided to bring one of our dogs along. No problem quick drink at the bar and we where shown to our table in a very dog friendly part of the pub. This is not a traditional looking pub it's very quirky and has a unique charm about it. We had starters pate and smoked haddock arancini with peas and poached egg. The pate along with bread and chutney was great and my arancini was out of this world one of the nicest starters I've had for a long time. We then had burger and roast beef sirloin both dishes where amazing. All served by very nice friendly happy attentive staff which let's alot of places down but not here. They have a very good and indie selection of beers which is nice to see instead of your usual you know estrella peroni moretti. We have several favourite pubs we visit in cheshire North Wales and wirral this one has most definitely joined that list at the top. Bravo and we'll see you again very soon.

Utterly brilliant pub just stay clear of the £6 Malga lager

Just out for drinks but the atmosphere was good, busy and interesting.

My friend and I booked a meal last night and arrived promtly for our booking at 7pm. Unfortunately, we were not served our main meal until after 9pm. The staff stated that a Valentine booking had arrived late, which was not our problem. We tried to cancel our mains order after waiting for 1hr 50 mins, however the person we spoke to said it was just being plated up - we waited another 10 mins for the meals to arrive. When asked if we would come back again our answer was a firm NO. We are both in the catering business and were disappointed with the whole night because of the speed of food service. No reduction in our bill for the inconvenience.

The food here was really good. Let down by the service. We had to ask for our drinks after the starter arrived, we had to ask for Toast with the pate - the server didn't know if it came with it or not. Roast beef dinner was the best we have had for miles around though. We asked for dessert menus which we then had to ask for again after 15 minutes. We eventually ordered ten minutes or so later, and then decided to get the bill after 20 minutes when the desserts never arrived, we did get soup spoons though as apparently that's all they had. I imagine there were dessert spoons somewhere but it was probably easier to just give soup spoons as it saved them having to leave their chit chat to go and find them. There were a couple of efficient staff behind the bar but the floor staff, of which there were plenty just stood chatting and drinking by the coffee machine ignoring everything that was going on. Such a shame, especially as the food is really good. If you can't offer efficient table service then just adjust your offer so customers can order at the bar. Customers don't mind paying a fair price for good food if the service is good too. Its not hard. It seemed the place wasn't managed tonight maybe it was just a bad day but puts you off a revisit when this is already the second time we have had this experience.

Six of us went for a meal just before Christmas. A very disappointing experience with both service & food. Discussed with member of staff at the time but no real apology or resolution. Emailed the manager (had to follow up 2 weeks later for a response). Glad to hear they’d address staff training issues but disappointed with their response to food issues. Six dishes over 3 courses were not good (under/over cooked, cold etc) and the response was that we should have sent them back to the kitchen. I think an issue with one dish is acceptable but 6 dishes?!! Emailed again questioning their response to the food issues…2 weeks later & still awaiting a response (again I have followed up to prompt a reply…but nothing). Would definitely not recommend for food - maybe nice place for a drink. Going out for a meal at the moment is a real treat with cost of living etc so feel really cheated by our experience at the Glynne Arms

Great experience. Super attentive waitress. Hot food, good portion sizes. Will visit again.

Beautifully decorated and welcoming pub/restaurant. I would say, Edwardian decor. We received a warm welcome, drinks, then through to the restaurant. There the Sunday lunch was served, roast beef, fresh vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Absolutely wonderful. As was the dessert, heavenly, light sticky toffee pudding. This is a great place for dog lovers. Nearly every table had a happy dog either under it, the small dogs, or next to it, the bigger dogs. Our dog happily stayed under the table. The friendly, helpful staff weaved around the room offering great service. We will definitely be going back.

Feels much improved over the last couple of years. The manager kindly accommodated me and my family on Boxing Day despite no reservation in advance and we had a lovely meal. My partner had an incredible vegetarian main and I had a selection of starters and some delicious house chips. My son had an amazing fish finger sandwich. The atmosphere was nice and lively and the setting is as nice as you could want with the Gladstone estate a stones throw away. Highly recommended.

The best food I’ve had a pub in the UK. Excellent service and vibe as well. Will return soon!

We come here most weeks and without any notice we were turned away on New Years Eve afternoon. There was no notice that they would be closed prior to the paid entry in the evening. Customers that come here 52 weekends of the year are left to find elsewhere and treated very poorly. 1 out of 5 is still too high Money grabbing and out of touch with the community

Excellent food and service. Very busy, particularly around the bar area, but we had a lovely window table for two that was away from it all.

Lovely olde worlde feel. Leather armchairs by the fire and long conversations with friends over coffee or nice glass of red. Great food , great service and an all round convivial place to meet up .

Upmarket village pub, nice decor, nice food but not cheap. Dog friendly. Always a lovely atmosphere in here, background music that stays in the background while the customers converse.

Lindo lugar en un pueblito encantador cerca de Chester, rica la comida, adore, muy familiar, amigable con los perritos, muy cómodo y bonito, quienes atendían eran amables, pero un poco distraídos,

It’s high level! Amazing dinner in this Michelin star restaurant! Absolutely recommend!

Loved this place and service of the team. The menu choice was good. Soup and whitebait and chips. We both enjoyed our meals.

Nice little pub with small but interesting menu. I chose the Haddock and chips which was delicious with crunchy beer vatter and triple cooked chips. Son had the beef burger and onion rings as a side order. Tge burger was very tasty and the onion rings mouth wateringly good. Definitely worth visiting.

Whilst staying at the Village Hotel, a gentleman began to chat to us, who lived locally and recommended a couple of pubs in the village, where we could grab a bite to eat. The Glynne Arms and the Fox and Grapes. We ate at the Glynne Arms and had an amazing meal. The staff were attentive, the food was beautiful, the pub was clean, the ambience was perfect and the location was opposite a great park, which we enjoyed a brief walk around before heading back to the Hotel.

Not been for a while. And it's sill just as brilliant as before. Food amazing X

Lovely local pub and restaurant, nice atmosphere and gorgeous food, the biggest reason I don't visit often is it is very expensive , a pint down the road costs £3.75 at the glynne it is £6, I can't justify the huge difference which is a shame because I enjoy going there.

Lovely place, good for a quality sandwich! I dropped in for a lunchtime drink and a sandwich and was met with a friendly greeting and a choice of sandwiches and breads that would suit everyone. I opted for a fish finger sandwich on granary bread. It came with freshly fried fish goujons (fingers, whatever!) spread with tasty homemade tartar sauce, salad and crisps. A meal and a half and excellent value for money. Worth a quick stop (or a longer one if you like....)

We were regular users when this restaurant when it had Michelin Stars, however how it has fallen. Limited over priced menu mainly burger and chips or fish. One dish came out cold. Expensive drinks.

I had removed this place from my places to visit as I found it overpriced and underwhelming but I’d won a voucher in a competition so decided to give it a go again and I’m so glad I did. It is still a very expensive place to eat but you don’t mind when the food is top notch and it was. My partner and I both had steaks. Everything was well cooked and well seasoned. I couldn’t find a fault with it and the service was spot on too. It shall be going back on the list now. Thank you for a great meal!

Thr beer was good and sat in beer garden

I have been here a number of times before usually for business lunches and everything has been perfect. I decided to go in the evening with my partner and expected the same but let down by the food. Mine was burnt, chips soggy and hers was tasteless. If you offer salt and pepper chips on the menu do it right! I was stupid enough to eat it and cause myself mild hypernatremia. Both felt unwell in the morning. Could have got better in plenty of other places instead of paying the extra for what we believed was a quality pub. Service was great although we had to get the bill corrected twice.

Excellent village pub . The Wrexham lager was perfect but sadly the same can not be said for the Community lager. If the staff had offered to change the pint it would have been 5 stars .

Lovely friendly place.. Good ales super food.

Lovely new spanish lager Malaga Victoria. Highly recommended.

The prices are ridiculous two drinks £15 ! Sauvignon blanc spanish🤷‍♀️ pint of pale ale and large wine£15 we are not in chelsea ! Sort your prices out !!

A great local pub with excellent staff and great atmosphere. They put a lot of effort into events and it’s always a pleasure going. They are on the pricier side of pubs but in my opinion worth it.

Very nice place, with great food, and nice staff.

Loved this place. Traditional style pub, with very interesting heritage. They have cask ales on tap, which I love! Also has a really tasty roast dinner. Would definitely visit again next time we're in Hawarden.

We celebrated my daughters 30th birthday at the Glynne. It was a fantastic day, the staff were excellent, very helpful and attentive. The food they laid on was really great and everyone had a brilliant time. Thank you to everyone involved in making this a lovely day and birthday celebration, Linda Bedford x

Very disappointed with our experience. Very limited menu. Was put in a small room with 8 covers. We shared this very small space with 4 dogs, two extremely large ones. Won't be back.

This was a birthday present for my wife. We were sat in a room 12sq metres with very uncomfortable seats and no windows. The menu was very limited and expensive. But to make the evening even more uncomfortable, 4 dogs came with they're owners ....

Beautiful high quality food served by lovely pleasent people very interesting quirky pub in a village that could be used in a film set

Horrible barmaid- ruined an otherwise nice evening . Extremely aggressive and demeaning

Great food lovely place but barmaid was extremely aggressive to us right as we walked in, extremely demeaning and sarcastic demanding ids for a reservation in the restaurant and kicking us out when someone didn’t have one on them making up the law- needs firing,...

I came here on a Monday afternoon and ordered a cappuccino and a scotch egg. Unfortunately, they had no brown sauce and half the items on the menu were missing. The waiting time was approx 40 minutes. The scotch egg, as it was ham hock, had a sinewy texture which really wasn’t nice. The cappuccino was hastily made and didn’t taste good. The young staff have clearly been thrown in the deep end without proper training. Coming from someone who’s worked in hospitality, this is really not fair on them. They are usually trying their best and want to provide good customer service. If management are going to leave teenage staff responsible for an entire restaurant/pub, they need to treat them with respect and train them.

The dog friendly pub is lovely, very limited menu though and my friend and I only choose cheese toasties which were extremely over cooked and greasy.

Sunday lunch large group of us fantastic food roast beef generous portion cooked perfectly. The only criticism finished plates left in front of us for far too long in between courses.....

Really great place. We were going to the farmshop but it is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. So glad to discover here. Delicious food, lovely staff. Loads of big tables to sit at. We will be back!

Unbelievable £6 a pint for something called Victoria lager. I know prices have gone up, but that’s city Centre prices. Check prices before you buy. Won’t be coming again in a hurry.

Lovely building with tons of nice artwork and antique decorations. Food was sublime the lamb rump with lamb shoulder croquette was absolutely divine.

Lovely pub. Staff very welcoming and friendly. The lady who served us was very attentive. We had lunch which was lovely. Would recommend the cheese toasty. Dogs are allowed. Would recommend.

Lovely spacious pub with a great dining room with large tables perfect for family meals! Food was very tasty and staff all really friendly :) Dog-friendly also, with treats available!

Popped in for a quick drink then we seen a few things on the menu so glad we ordered them we had. .. Pork scratching Ham hock scotch egg Prawn cocktail Sausage Roll with brown sauce. All the dishes were outstanding, cooked fresh and all...

Great place to eat. Food was lovely, service was excellent.

Nice inn. Good beer and friendly staff. There is an outside space but a bit concretey. Small car park. Nice food but not cheap and not a big choice. Well worth a visit. Disabled access is pretty good.

We’ve eaten here twice over the festive period and we weren’t disappointed. The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere cosy and traditional. We will be back again I’m sure! We returned again and enjoyed the beer battered fish and chips, salt and pepper Casheau nuts and warm soda bread and salted butter from the Hawarden estate.

Great food, great staff and very dog friendly 👍

Having been a number of times before, we were a little disappointed in the limited menu. Whilst the food was generally OK and service good, SWMBO was disappointed in the seasoning of her fish pie, which also lacked some smoked fish.

I thought it was a post office infact I bought postage there . Weird

Decoration is a mishmash of tastes. From brown mid century furniture to a bright pink Welsh dresser to the big heavy old curtain covering the front entrance door horrible Deer skulls nailed to the walls. Why does this establishment feel the need to use dead stuffed animals as decoration. I will not be revisiting this pub again.

We wanted to try somewhere new and had family visiting from overseas so we decided to come here for lunch today. What a wonderful place!! Absolutely loved the decor, the ambiance was great, the service was nice & the food was delicious. Everything we tried was good. Nice size portions. Great value. Attentive service. We will definitely return on a Sunday to taste their Sunday Roast. And the Lattes were DELICIOUS!!!

Located in the heart of Hawarden village. Great atmosphere, food is excellent and the service amazing. Would highly recommend.

Everything in terms of service was very slow. Having to ask multiple people for the same thing as it never arrives! The waitresses didn't really care about providing a good service. The food was nice, I had the beef roast dinner but for the price I didn't think it was worth it! £22 for one roast is expensive! Atmosphere was nice but felt more like a coffee and cake vibe than sit down restaurant.

Really good local pub, waiting on staff were very helpful, the food though was really good 👌we had the pork belly and the burger, the burger so well balanced .

Booked at short notice and had a table for 6 in the bar (as we had a dog). Service was good, food was great, very welcoming, good selection of beers. Half the group had roast pork the other roast beef, all served well with good...
