Visited here over the weekend with a friend and her little one for some lunch - as I ordered my food at the bar, I ordered breaded mushrooms to ask if they did garlic mayo and was snapped at with ‘just mayo’ okay then? - to then order my main as a steak, I asked for gravy on the side and then said could I change the chips to a jacket potato.. to then feel like I was getting lectured because the woman stated ‘you should of told me that at the beginning, I am going to have to start all over again now!!’ To think I work in hospitality myself and I would never speak to a customer like that, I felt like I done something wrong when she couldn’t handle swapping chips for a jacket then she needs to sort her attitude out for sure and customer service. The food was okay, but the mushrooms were rock hard hence why my mayo dip was flicked across the restaurant as I put my fork into it.

Today we ordered a veggie meal for my daughter and they served her pork.Myself and my other daughter had the steak, which tasted slightly off. The management and chef offered a half hearted apology, but the "best they could offer" was a half refund.The only saving grace was the poor lady behind the bar who was very apologetic and trying to mediate between my rightfully irate wife and the less than helpful manageress.We will not be returning.

We called here for a lunch out of the blue. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. It took ages to be served at the bar for drinks although it wasn't that busy, the food took around an hour to come and some of it was wrong, we overheard one member of staff speaking rather unprofessionally to another table as they were adamant they had not made a mistake but judging by our meal being slightly wrong they probably had. Two of the meals didn't come with what they were supposed to via the menu. Two puddings came out but mine didn't for another 10-15mins or so by which point the other two had finished theirs as it was going cold. Overall we were quite disappointed and I'm not sure we will return. It's a shame as the decor was quite nice and it was overlooking some lovely views.

Sixteen of decided to have the Christmas Lunch menu and I don't think any of us were disappointed in any way. I had the soup to start which was very tasty but there was also Prawn Cocktail or Breaded Mushrooms. I followed with a Turkey dinner with all the trimmings, others in our party went for the steak or the fresh salmon. One of party ( a vegetarian) went for a very nice looking Brie tart. The sweets were the usual Christmas pudding which was lovely, ice cream or there was a mint torte which I tasted and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Absolutely beautiful. Our meals were served quickly by the very friendly staff and I have to say that nothing was too much trouble for them .One of our party was in a wheelchair and he had no problems at all. All in all a pleasant afternoon spent in good company in pleasant surroundings and all very reasonably priced., We will be returning.

And two sides Garlic Bread and Onion Rings. There is also an offer to add another patty to the burger for £1.We ordered tap water but the bill came to only £17.95 which is great considering it was less than £10 each. We had more than enough food and best of all it tasted amazing. Will be going again!

Picked the menu up and thought these seem cheap what will we get? 2 breakfast brunches consisted of 2 large tasty sausage, 2 quality tasty thick bacon rashers, big farm egg, mushrooms , tomatoe , beans and chips. Nicely cooked and very hot, huge portion and cheap! All served with a smile from a friendly barman. Wow we were impressed so please visit and enjoy.

We were looking for somewhere local to go for Sunday lunch and decided on The Hampden Arms as we hadn't been since it had come under new management and a friend had commented on a recent nice meal she had there. We had a turkey and beef roast dinner with mash, roasties, peas, carrot and swede and broccolli. Everything was piping hot and when I cheekily asked for a yorkie pudding with the turkey they happily obliged with 2 at no extra charge. There was only just enough room for the Eton mess cheesecake and apple pie and custard which also didn't disappoint. All this for only £8.95 each which I thought was amazing value for money. Also chatted with the friendly owner. Couldn't understand why the restaurant part was empty when we got there at 2pm as it certainly didn't deserve to be although it was a rainy day. The separate bar area was busy however. If you're passing through Acrefair on your way to Llangollen I would definitely recommend a stop here.

Three of us called in for a meal. Firstly quite a few of the bulbs had blown in the lights, making it difficult to read the menu. The table was sticky could have done with a good clean.I had a curry that was very watery, more like a tikka soup rather than sauce and the chips were undercooked. The chicken wraps were breaded chicken burgers cut into strips, the lettuce was browning however the rest of the salad was fresh. Overall we were disappointed with our visit and will not be calling again.

Well where to start!!! The Hampden Arms use to be the best local Pub for bar meals going, friendly atmosphere, good food and good service... What has happened???? As soon as you enter the place it seems to be in the black out era of the 1940's, so dark but i think the reason for that is ..it's dirty, the table which was left when we entered was all scratched with graffitti and sticky ( not nice). We could only see 2 staff members in total, who seemed to be doing everything apart from ensring customers recieved good service. Upon going to the bar, well I say bar I had to check as there was no stock in the fridges no spirits on optics nothing. we decided on what we wanted, we asked for the BBQ chicken breast only to be told "oh we don't do that we do the battered chicken breast instead"... mmmm do marston's know they are making up the menu? we decided on Chicken Tikka curry, the wait for the food was oh my lord I could have made one myself, I mean come on we obviously know its not fresh and its a ping and ding place now but a full bottle of wine had now been drunk. When it did eventually come I could have waited longer, the sauce was just a soup consistancy and erm I do believe I ordered Chicken yes Chicken Masala.... I tried to raise the issue with staff but it completely fell on deaf ears.. The chappie in question was simply spurting off what he probably learnt from doing a brewery course. As I mentioned before only 2 staff, serving food and waiting on oh and the chappie was walking round with a dirty absolutely filthy serving cloth tucked in his pocket no point seeing the menu just take a look at that. Not sure who ran the place 12 months ago but the take over is NOT good. Just because the location is close to a few housing estates, and whilst one is the 2nd most deprived in Wales - we are not animals and do expect some service and decent food when we can afford to go out. Marstons shame on you and get a grip of the new people. Fetch our local pub back to how it was. Oh also why do they ask how are you paying? cash or card - does the cash go as a back hander..1. get new staff2. put them all on food saftey and hygiene course3. Marstons - I dare you to eat there!!DO not waste your money

Fantastic! Place is lovely. Staff were attentive and friendly. We had 3 full breakfasts, a pot of tea, served in a lovely vintage cup and saucer, and a latte. Service was great and the food was hot, fresh and delicious. Great portions, we did want cake, but didn't have room. Toilets were clean, loads of parking too. Can't ask for more really. Will defo be back for cake, which also looked delicious!

Reserved a table between 12-12:30 as we came from far to have a meal for my boyfriend birthday. Arrived and were told food is only served at 1 but nothing was said on the phone when booking. We didn’t mind and with 45 mins to wait we wonder around town for a bit. Got there me and my partner sat down after asking if we could sit down anywhere. After 30 mins of waiting we went up and asked if we had to order there and were told yes as it was busy (which no one warned us about). When we went to order our lunch we were told that the food from the menu was going to take ages because of the queue already in the kitchen. When asked how long if it was going take as it was likely to be 2/3 hrs at that rate, to confirm the waitress went to ask the boss when she rudely answered back saying she didn’t have the time to think about that nit answering the waitress. First and last time, wouldn’t advise anyone to eat here.

Beautifully run family pub. Made to feel very welcome any day of the week. With a stunning beer garden and family staff it’s a must go to in North Wales. Surrounded by history it’s located right on the WELSH border. Highly recommend Be careful on the pool table though Very competitive and there can only be one champ 🏆
