The Hand Hotel Restaurant & Bar in Wrexham

Fantastic Fish & Chips meal for Good Friday from the Hand Hotel, always a great meal and looking forward to having a pint and a meal in May!!!👍

We stayed over the weekend due to work, they were very helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble,We had dinner Saturday night and my husband had the Viking Steak, he said it was the best steak he had ever hadand I had prawns and chicken wing which were absolutely fantastic.We are definitely going back as soon as lock down permits and would recommend this hotel to Everyone

Had a really great meal experience at The Hand.Food was first class and the service second to none.Nothing was too much trouble and waiting time for food was minimal.Price was very reasonable.

This is an excellent venue for a great meal and catch up with family and friends.We have visited the Hand Hotel several times and you just cannot fault the service and the quality of food.There is an excellent selection on the menu and they are so accommodating when taking children along who always want something a little different.The recent changes they have made in the seating area are fantastic and it means that after your meal you have somewhere relaxing to sit and enjoy another drink and have a chat.

Tasty food, good value. It was a bit disconcerting to have our temperature taken as we arrived, but I guess everyone is just trying to do something re Covid precautions. The service was efficient and the surroundings in the dining room were very pleasant. We would definitely go back!

As regular customers of the restaurant, mainly on Sundays the high standard of fresh cooked food never fails to disappoint. Sunday lunch is something to look forward to when you can relax in the lounge area following your meal. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Special thank you to Sarah on this occasion .I

Stopped for Sunday lunch whilst in the area.Staff were very efficient, friendly and service was excellent dinner piping hot and presented lovely a very reasonable price ,we travel this way often and will be calling again in near future.

Easy decision to stop for Sunday Lunch at the Hand Hotel Chirk. Yet again another excellent Sunday Lunch, food and service superb. Give the place a try, you won’t be disappointment.👍

First time for Sunday Lunch in the Hand, don’t know why we have never stopped before but have to say it was excellent. We had the 3 course deal, all 3 dishes were superb. We will defiantly be returning!!!!!

We were walking along the Canal and popped into Chirk hoping for lunch and came across the "Hands". As we had the dog we were not sure whether we would be welcome but as we went to ask a man and 2 dogs came out - no need to ask! It was quite late - 2ish - so we asked if food was still available, again good news! The 2 for £12 offer looked promising and so we ordered and what a lovely surprise. My husband said it was some of the nicest sausage and mash he had ever had and my scampi and chips were really well cooked, hand cut chips and succulent scampi, with salad and peas. Along with 2 pints the bill was less than £18. No complaints at all. The staff were really friendly and the bar was absolutely fine - we might just go back tomorrow!!!!

A quick refreshment stop on our walk. Not much to say about this place. Good staff and a good choice of drinks. Whilst it is a pleasant environment the whole building seems to be in need of updating and some serious TLC. Wouldn’t stop us visiting again though.

Called in for a drink on a lovely autumn day and had dogs with us so used the beer garden to the rear.We had to wait at least 15 minutes to be served at the bar although the barman knew we were there, and the overall decor of the place is in need of attention and a good clean. The corridor from the main hotel to the beer garden takes you via the entrance to the kitchen.....I repeat, it needs a good clean.Toilets in the bar area......need a good clean and preferable a re-attachment of the toilet seat.Disappointing as it looks as though it was once a lovely building.

Staff very helpful and friendly relaxed atmosphere to have a pre meal drink. Food was fantastic and deserts to die for and even the bill was not expensive. First class service

Had dinner lunch and breakfast here. At all times the staff were very helpful and friendly, and the food perfectly descent. No complaints at all.

Had an amazing meal on last night of our holidays. We had soup & prawns for starter... mixed grill & steak special for mains huge portions. Chips were yummy. Good value for money too & lovely pleasant staff

Food was ordinary could of done my self the one concern was how fast it was cooked and burnt I think they must of used microwave, for the price would expect better won’t be going back

Visited here on a rainy Monday evening as we were staying at the local Caravan Club site. Although they only served the 'bar menu' on a weekday, we were still able to sit in the restaurant, which was very comfortable. The food was excellent, with good sized portions. As commented by another reviewer, the only negative was the food served on wooden chopping boards, which never looks hygienic to me, although I'm sure they're washed thoroughly, and I would much prefer a proper plate to stop the food sliding off the edges.

We came to chirk with our caravan and stayed at the local caravan club site and decided to find somewhere for a Saturday evening dinner so we drove down to the town which is very small and found the Hand Hotel and thought we would give it a try we’ll I must say as there were three of us we all had a different starter and a different Main and I have to say the restaurant was quite empty so we thought that’s strange for a Saturday night at 7.30pm anyway we ordered our starters they were served in good time and they were delicious I had the soup that was butternut squash and carrot it was delicious my wife had fish cake and she was very pleased with that and our friend had patty which she also enjoyed for our main course I had the Cod&chips; with mushy peas very very nice chips were Amazing my wife had chicken New Yorker which she did enjoy her only issue was that it came with the sauce over it and as nice as it was there was far too much would had preferred the sauce to be on the side to add for yourself our friend had the Salmon which she really enjoyed but again there was too much Sauce would have been better again on the side so you could add it yourself we all really enjoyed our meal the portions were very good so much so we had no room for desert much to my disappointment as the thought of blackberry & Apple crumble with Custard would have been most enjoyable as the whole experience at the Hand Hotel was most enjoyable and the Staff were very polite and pleasant would definitely recommend this place we will definitely be using it again on future trips to Chirk I should also mention that we thought that the price was very good we had three starters three mains and three Drinks for only £63 which considering how very nice it was I felt was very good thank you to the staff for their polite and professional manner well done to you all .

Had detour via Chirp and decided to try here for lunch. The serving staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The meal was well presented and tasted really good. We were eating in the light and airy restaurant.

We stayed for one night before we went on our narrow boat tour. We fell in love with the place. The inn is well over 400 years old so it was very unique. The staff were amazing, took care of us far beyond what was required. After the canal tour, we came back to the Hand for a few days, used it as our base while we explored Wales. Highly recommend this fabulous Inn.

Visited the hand for Sunday dinner yesterday while staying on the caravan site near by. staff are so friendly and nothing was too much trouble to accommodate the customers. Nice to see home cooked food done nicely in a cosy environment like this. Every staff member had a smile on his or her face. Will be visiting again soon. thank you to all.

We found the staff flexible and helpful. The younger ones could do with a little more experience in making customers feel more welcome, but that will come I'm sure.

Have had several visits here and never been disappointed. Cosy interior. Excellent, friendly service. Good value meals, especially the light bite 2 for £10 meal deal and excellent selection of beers and gins. Would definitely return and recommend.

Poor,came here for tea,agreed the rugby was on but did the volume on the tv have to be so loud.even after the game had finished it continued.Barman was obviously an amateur and didnt respect all his customers..I left and went to the next pub and got better service

visited with my wife for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime.

I had my wedding reception here 14 years ago which was amazing, I’ve only been back a handful of times since. I decided to try it again as the last time I went I remember being very underwhelmed.

Located in the heart of Chirk village and less than 10 minutes from the station which is a straight, level walk.

Met up with an old friend for a catch up. We thought we would give The Hand a visit, and we were glad we did. The beer was well kept, and the early afternoon food was outstandingly tasty. Coupled with attentive service, and a quiet atmosphere, we found The Hand a most acceptable venue. Worth a visit.

Really friendly staff good value food. We didn't stay in the hotel but are in the main bar. Main courses at £10 so good value. Pets welcome in main bar.

Stayed here for 1 night before our canal boat trip. Chose it because of proximity to boatyard. Staff were very helpful and kept our perishable food in their fridge overnight for us. The building is old, principal dining room nicely decorated but the rest of the building not so much. Many layers of “ upgrades” but many poorly done and layered over each other, sash windows had broken sashes, suspected leak and black mould in bathroom covered with paint . No easy way to control room temp radiators running full but did not want to open windows onto street because of traffic. Breakfast was good and plentiful but dinner was just OK ( salmon, beef pie and lamb shank) and took a very very long time. Would stay here again for proximity to boatyard, and kindness in storing our food.

We stopped for lunch and had a really yummy burger and fresh fish and chips between us. Friendly place, would stay in the hotel

A certain old world charm about this pub/ restaurant.

We attended a christening here in the function room it was great. The outdoor space is lovely too. The staff were helpful

On the canal over from NZ. Popped up for a quick look at Chirk. Found The Hand pub. Presently surprised. Great selection of gins so had to have one. Nice bar staff friendly atmosphere and nice decor/location. Would have liked to have stayed for a meal but had arranged to have a meal on the boat . There 2 for 10 pounds looked a good deal. The gin recommendations were spot on. Rhubarb and violet.

Arrived in Chirk early to go to appointment which wasn't due to after 09:00am, so I went into the hand hotel for breakfast and order tea and toast.

Went in for lunch on a Tuesday and opted for the 2 meals for £10 deal. Weren't expecting much, but we both had an 8 ounce gammon with egg, chips and salad. Simple enough, but it was really nice - cooked perfectly - and served at a nicely presented table. As others have said, the staff were lovely - friendly and welcoming. The bar serves, amongst other things, real ale at less than £3 a pint (Doom Bar no less) which was well kept.

Although the wheelchair access could be better (portable metal ramps up two lots of steps), the quality of this hotel is so good, it surely offsets this minor issue. The food here is excellent, the staff friendly and very helpful, and it's a wonderful venue for large family occasions or weddings etc.

A lovely selection of veggie dishes with diners request attentively catered to. It’s the second time we have visited The hand and for a treat at the end of a long walk it can’t be bettered. Thanks to dining staff and chief.

We visited here Sunday for a meal whilst in the area on Holiday, two families with five young children.

We arrived here from our mooring on the Llangollen Canal. It’s a decent walk up the hill into Chirk, but worth the effort. The staff are friendly, the beer is good and the food reasonable.

Whilst out on a walking trip in the area, we decided to call into The Hand for a lunchtime pint, having observed a meal being brought to another couple we ordered the Haddock & chips and were not disappointed ! A good sized portion of fish cooked in a delightful light batter accompanied with what I would say were some of the best real hand cooked chips I’ve ever had ! Well recommended, we will definitely be back

Had a really good Christmas lunch at the Hand. It was a large group of friends but the standard did not slip. It's great when you go for a meal and it turns out to be better than you expected!!

We were served in the restaurant by a young woman ( The Assistant Manager ? )and a young man. Both were most efficient and pleasant. We look forward to the next time we are in Chirk and The Hand.We are glad that some people had the wisdom, foresight and money to save The Hand and wish them all well , owners and staff

By way of having a short break to rest the feet after walking the area and shopping in the local shops this establishment whildt serving very good coffee is also available for eavening meals and overnight breaks.

Lovely find, really enjoyed the ambience had a great Panini beautifully presented for lunch and Louise the wait person was most helpful. Thanks we will be eating here again.

Traveling in Wales one sees plenty of sheep in the pastures, eating their way through the day. Tender, juicy and oh so delicious, just recalling the shanks retrieves the aroma! The Hand does have an extensive menu, but we chose lamb.

We walked into Chirk from the canal and bought the special lunch at the Hand. Good pub ambience, but the lunch was really good value. We got (prawns) scampi chips and salad for the price of a sandwich in some places. The chips and scampi were crisp and yum. This lunch stood against several others over our trip as good food at great value.

Although only a couple of miles away we had never eaten here before. Our neice recommended it after having her partner's parents stay here a couple of weeks ago and they had enjoyed an evening meal here. As it was my partner's birthday we decided to book a family meal here on a Saturday night so we booked a table for 8 at 6pm earlier in the week.

We abs loved the food for second time in less than month can't fault it at all. All staff very friendly and helpful

Great spot for lunch after working up and appetite wandering the nearby castle grounds and aqueduct- they have a lunch special which made it very reasonably priced and the service was lovely

This was a family lunch and we had booked a table but the place was very quiet, the first impression isn't good as the floors were in a very poor state, made noticeable as one of our party is very disabled. The service was good, timed about right so had time to check out the menu with out being rushed. We had a mix of food a couple of meals, soup and sandwich. The food looked nice, the sandwich was huge and the filling was good but the beef was roughly cut making it hard to chew. The fish looked very pale but was nice. The coffee here was very good and very hot in huge cups. I had been here before when under different management can safely say this time was 100% better.

At 6.15pm The wife and I called there to celebrate our wedding anniversary of seventeen years, We were shown to our table in the restaurant and both given a menu, Twenty two minutes had passed before a very young girl waitress arrived to take both our orders, Unfortunately the hotel did not have sirloin steak therefore we had to order the rump steak which the wife and I informed the waitress that we both wanted both steaks well cooked, We were both looking forward to our meals. We both ordered steak, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, chips onion rings with peppercorn sauce. When the two meals arrive they really well presented, However, we found both our hot food had been placed on cold plates one of the pepper sauce was cold and to our horror on cutting the steak mine was pink inside and the wifes was red with blood, Eventually after about ten minutes the waitress arrived and she took the two steaks back to have them fully cooked which took around ten minutes, putting the meals in front of us he quickly disappeared leaving us having to swop meals as she had placed the two meals incorrectly, straight away we checked both our steaks, and yes the two steaks we well cooked and hot, the only problem then was although both our steaks we hot every thing else was cold as the chef had neglected to keep our two meals hot needless to say, yes we both ate the steaks but left every thing else. Did I complain, No, I did not see the point as obviously the waitress had not received any training as she knew absolutely nothing about waiting on therefore how could she possibly know how to handle a complaint, On reaching the reception I was greeted by the waitress to which I asked for the bill, she produced the bill and I paid it to which she replied: Thank you, The wife and I left the hotel, The waitress did not ask if we enjoyed our meal which I was truely grateful for, Both the wife and I both believe in supporting the local businesses, But, The Hand Chirk will not be one of them. Comment: I believe the waitress could possibly be a good waitress if she was given the correct training, As for the chef, I believe Briton would benefit if he or she was offered a position as chef in a high class restaurant in The republic of Russia,

If you don't want to spend alot and want simple canteen style food then this is the place for you.I had steak with peppercorn sauce, the steak was quite fatty and I'd asked for it medium but it came very rare which I reported and a small amount was knocked off the bill. Rest of family had a Sunday lunch and they all said it was a bit bland and nothing special.

Could not fault the food or service, great value for money , lovely atmosphere, Wi definitely be back in the near future

Very nice little pub and restaurant within the hotel. Great curry. Fairly extensive menu. Service was pleasant. Prices are very fair and quantities good.

Staff very helpful, did not stay in hotel . Had drink the night before to see if they could do us a breakfast and watch the 1st test. They pulled the stops out, telly on, bar clean, cooked breakfast, staff very friendly and helpful. Shame we didn't win

Me and my dog stopped here for a quick bite to eat after walking along canal path.Unfortunately it didn't open till 5pm, so we sat outside till it opened.They were waiting for a delivery that was running late so the menu was a bit sparse...BUT...the food they had and what I chose was delicious and a very good price.Staff couldn't do enough for us.Worth a stop off.

The Hand Hotel is a small coaching inn that has provided welcome food, drink and lodging to locals and travellers alike since the year 1610.It has a small number of rooms that sound nice and are apparently simply but comfortably furnished. There is a small bar which usually has two cask beers on tap. One is sourced locally from the well regarded Salopian Brewery. Drinks can be enjoyed in a number of small sitting areas. The overall effect is to give the place a pleasant intimate feel. The restaurant is more formal in style and is a very comfortable and bright place to eat. The food is actually quite good. It was all a delightful surprise. We had the Sunday Roast Lunch and it was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. It all reminded me of a stay in a pleasant seaside hotel of yesteryear and it is none the worse for that. What few staff I saw were very helpful and friendly. Service is fine once you adapt to a slower pace of life. I genuinely liked The Hand Hotel. It is a quaint sort of place where everyone seems to have more time to talk and relax. I defy you not to like the place.

Visited on Good Friday after Chirk Castle. We were all fitted in despite it being a Bank Holiday and enjoyed a pleasant drink in the lounge before the meal. Excellent meal, well presented and excellent service from our host. Total bill including drinks and two bottles of wine was £90 for the five of us. Excellent quality and value.Highly recommended.

As a party of 12 we pre booked. It's advisable if you are after dining at a certain time or just to guarantee a table as they do get busy. On arrival staff take your drinks order and seat you in reception then take you to your table once it's ready. Food is great very tasty. They do cater for children. There is a garden to stroll or sit in on a nice sunny afternoon. Roast dinners are delicious.

Had a quick pint before a meal locally. Nice staff and a tasty pint. Happy to recommend and pop back when passing some time.

We happened to unexpectedly meet up with friends in Chirk who asked us to join them for a coffee we said would love to but had Bruce our dog with usThey were going to the Hand Hotel so said we would ask if dog would be okWe asked and then noticed a sign saying dogs with well behaved owners welcomeThe coffee was excellent and was nice and hot ( rare in some places)

Good food, good service. The staff were very helpful and made our visit to the hotel very good as was our meal

Very good food, friendly staff, very reasonably priced.Excellent value 3 course Tuesday Lunch menu for £12 - Great value for money.

Walked past it initially. Looking for a more countryside view/feel but ended up walking back as struggled to find anything else within walking distance of the caravan site. So glad we did. Lovely big chesterfield sofas to sink into, modern decor with some funky wallpaper but all very welcoming. Orders a few pints of the visiting ales and spent the next two hours chilling out near one of the fireplaces. Staff were friendly enough. Didn't try the food on this occasion but would definitely go back.

Excellent find. Good Sunday roast, good beer and wine. Plenty of vegetables and gravy. Crackling could have been crunchier and asked for extra sauce for sticky toffee pudding. Coffee all for £38 for 2, nice ambience and music. Lovely on a wet windy Sunday.

Booked to stay and decided to eat in the restaurant on the first night, the staff were welcoming and chatty i wasnt sure what to have, so the waitress recommended dishes, citing whether they were light or rich, we ordered the lambs liver with bacon and mash and vegetables, and the lasagna she recommended a side order of chips and my son had the childs pizza, all the meals were good, the lasagna wasnt stodgy and the chips were home cut and crispy, for desert we had the baileys cheesecake and the waffles both were delicious the baileys cheesecake is small but very rich, a larger portion would be sickly so it was an ideal size...yes i would go again and maybe try one of there sizzling platters as alot of people were ordering them

We were staying at the nearby caravan site and decided to go here for a meal on a Wednesday evening. It was very quiet as it was early January; we ordered drinks at the bar while we had a look at the menu. Once we'd ordered we were asked if we wanted to eat where we were seated, which we declined. The table was too small to eat from in our opinion and we'd rather be in the restaurant. No problem and we were told just to find a table. We both had a starter and main course, which were all enjoyable. The chicken burger was quite big with chips, salad and coleslaw. The fish & chips were good, but the batter was rather soggy and not crisp. No room for a sweet so we left it at that. Were overcharged by £2 for the burger, but when pointed out it was rectified. Overall a good meal and good service.

Tried a lunchtime snack. Have to say the two meals for £10 were good, and nothing to complain about there. Unfortunately, there were three of us, so one person had to chose off the normal menu and ended up with a meal costing £10 in itself and hardly much difference to the size of the half price meals.That said, thought felt it was worth another try and 5 of us went for Sunday lunch. They were accommodating, as the Sunday lunch mains did not take everyone's fancy, so we also ordered bar meals. Very nice, all very hot but they struggle a bit on atmosphere as have a lovely dining room but it didn't have many people in.I would said 'good' overall. If not going for the lunchtime 2 for £10 or their other specials menu you are paying around £10 for a main but as a hotel I guess that's expected.

Four of us went for dinner on New Years Eve and ate from the al a carte menu in the restaurant . I'll cover the food first.....The starters were good in terms of taste (game terrine, mackerel pate and mustroom filo parcels though there were very few mushrooms actually in the parcels and there needed to be more toast for the amount of mackerel pate served (or reduce the amount of pate). The vegetarian pasta was poor, small, no better than dolmio and unimaginative but the pork and fish dish was good and the steak was as you would expect. The lemon possett was lovely and the profoteroles fine but the homemade baileys cheesecake was tiny and was absolutely tasteless.To be honest I would have given an rating point as it was New Years Eve and you expect that food at busy times can slip a bit but the waitress who waited on was terrible. I don't know if it was her first night or if she just wasn't interested but the whole experience was like a fawlty towers recipe. She didn't know what beers they served but did not offer to find out. We asked what gin was served and she questioned 'gin'? about five times like she had never heard of it. We purchased a bottle of wine and she 'plonked' it down on the table as she passed unopened. She obviously had not even read the menu as every dish we tried to order was greeted with a blank look and asking us to point it out on the menu so she could write it down. You may think we have strage accents or something but no, we have no discernable accent and spoke clearly and loudly (as we soon realised she didn't know what she was doing and didn't want the order mixed up).Please do some staff training urgently and do not let this particular lady work with the public until she knows what she is doing.

We popped into The Hand as it's fairly close by and we could take the dog with us in certain parts of the bar / coffee area. We reserved a table and was served quickly and politely. We both went for the steak burgers. They were fantastic, excellently presented and tasted amazing. Reasonably priced considering the quality on offer. Plenty on the menu for us to try when we return. Thank you !!!

The initial wait to be seated took ages... but after that it was all positive. The food was delicious and our waitress great. "is this a welsh restaurant?" - yes in so far as its in Wales - produce may be locally sourced but tbh didn't look.

Recently stayed in Chirk at the campsite and went in for a meal. However we ended up just staying for a drink and then leaving. Bar staff didn't seem too interested. Rubbish cider (as seems to be the norm in Wales sadly) and the carpets had seen much better days (badly stained). We definitely won't be returning or recommending it to other campers!

We were staying in chirk .in our touring caravan. Long way from home. The Hand Hotel was local to where we were staying. As were many other eateries,so after scrutinizing many sites we settled on the Hand, we were not disappointed. We had not booked. And were offered a table very quickly. It was very busy and obviously popular with the locals ,and very clean, the turn over of diners was 'very quick. There was as good selection of starters and a large choice of mains, . The serving girls were very attentative and chatty and nothing was too much trouble . The meal was great, in fact my brother-in-law had the lambs liver and stated it was the best meal he'd had during the whole holiday. We had space for a sweet and the "must" is salted caramel ice cream cheesecake. This truly is a great place for eating and friendly staff. If you are in the area please go in you will have a warm welcome and as great meal.

Absolutely brilliant - Food was lovely and big portions and good value for money / Staff very friendly and attentive / Hotel and surroundings very beautiful - will definitely visit again

I have lived in Chirk but I have never been in the Hand Hotel. My friend and I decided to give it a try. It is very deceiving because the car park which leads into the bar area looks nothing fancy. It's only when you walk into the lounge/dining area that you see the true picture. It has a lovely feeling about it and the member of staff who approached us was warm and friendly. We were shown into the dining room which was lovely. They do an early bird menu which is a great price. We had our meal, the young lady who served us was outstanding. Great customer service, thoughtful and always had a smile. Excellent food, presented beautifully and cooked well. Highly recommend a visit.

I spent a lovely evening as an anniversary surprise meal we were treated with respect & had a quiet candlelit dinner drinks are good meal was wonderful as was the service very special night & in a very welcoming hotel

A typical british pub with a mix om Pub-food, Grill and Indian. Truly great service and a nice venue. But mediocre food in great need of more seasoning.

Good location. Most of the staff were very friendly, helpful, and chatty.....all bar one grumpy youngster.We had a family room...old and tired but suited our needs.One complaint though...the room was too hot - it seemed to be heated from an adjoining room!Evening means were great and the drink prices reasonableA good base for the local attractions

It's like Dr Who's tardis from outside, yet it's huge inside, finding yourway to the large beer garden is quite a task.Dog friendly in parts of place.Food great. Staff good. Decor goodTop notch.Great little village.

We walked here from the canal and had a very pleasant experience. Our waitress, Olivia, provided excellent service with a very friendly and pleasant demeanour. The food was hot and tasty.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was hot and delicious . One of the best curry's I've tasted . Car park at back of the hotel. Nice welcome for our dogs .

We had our evening meal in the restaurant and breakfast in the dining room. Could not fault either meal as they were beautiful.

We were three days into a five day holiday had been to a few pubs for an evening meal but some times you get feed up with the bog standard menus. So was pleased when we came across this restaurant as we could have a meal without chips. They had some of the usual pub food but also had Lamb and Seabass, this came with mash potatoes and veg. They were only £12 which is a reasonable price and the meat was cooked to perfection. Enjoyed the first meal so went back the next night to eat again. Although they did not have any Seabass, when asked to change chips for mash with the pie they were happy to do so. The pie I had was good as was my husbands Lambs liver with bacon. Staff were helpful and pleasant and we could defiantly recommend and also consider going back some other time.

We stopped off for lunch whilst walking in the area as it looked the best option within the area. It's a fairly big place with various seating options - the bar area, a brasserie and a garden. Extensive menu with lots of options from light bites & sandwiches to 3 courses. My wife fancied an omelette which was not on the menu but they gladly agreed to do which was a nice service touch. Food was of a good standard and they had some nice beers. Pleasant, friendly service although some might think a bit slow but did not bother us - just shows that it's freshly prepared. I would recommend and certainly use again if I was in the area.

I ate here with family and have to say the food was excellent. Service was brilliant with the staff being very friendly and attentive, along with flexible and helpful when it came to menu choices. The food itself was tasty and looked lovely. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening of food here and would definitely return to eat and would recommend!

Friendly, polite welcome then shown to comfortable seating area for drinks and menus choices- very civilised. Table nicely set. Food served promptly by pleasant waitress. Food very good with good variety at reasonable prices. Altogether a great evening.

Reasonable price. Friendly service. Good parking right in the heart of the village. Oh, and beer's improved. We will be back!

Visited with friends and had good food and service. Prices are reasonable and special offers are often available.

We ate at The Hand while staying at the hotel. Normally, you would think, well they did that because there was nowhere else, yes and no. There were other options in Chirk, but having seen the size of the food portions coming out of the kitchen, the prices and quality comments from other diners we stayed put. There was a regular menu (2 sided) and a special as well as a blackboard with offers..I pity the chef for keeping up with those demands..!I had the giant Yorkshire pudding with mashed potatoes, sausages and veg, giant they were not kidding, I could not finish it!!My husband had a ham and cheese panini which came with coleslaw, salad and chips, which he said was wonderful.Well recommended!!

We had morning coffee here when we were on holiday nearby. It was excellent coffee and the service was very pleasant.We returned one evening and we had a superb value meal (wild boar burger with chips and salad for my husband and a bacon,Brie and cranberry panini for me). It was very tasty and well presented.can definitely recommend.

Being refurbished. Very nice warm welcome. New cafe and bar areas. A lovely relaxing drink around the real fire. Dog friendly too.

Had a Christmas 3 course lunch today. Food was great value at £10.95 or three courses plus coffee an mints. Good friendly service and lovel festive decor! Cosy fire and omfy sofas!

Came recently for a romantic meal with my husband and was not happy with the food service nor the customer service with young girls arguing and gossiping so loud we couldn't hear each other

The owner has finally got his act together by putting in a manager who knows what he is doing and cares how the place is run. In the time we spent there he had his eye on the ball and was dealing with staff, serving two bars, answering the phone, taking bookings for a wedding another for B&B, signing in guests on arrival and seeing to the welcoming log fire, all this done in a pleasant manner, he is a natural and we hope he is paid accordingly, the place would fall apart without him. Perhaps The T Room might take a lesson here and wouldn't be experiencing the problems they are having.

Lovely choice of food, and friendly service here. The Early Bird menu is excellent value for money. Yn anffodus neb yn siarad Cymraeg. Only complaint was that the waiter insisted on calling us 'guys', and we did not take it as a compliment, being a mature couple.Has he heard of the fate of a certain Guy Faulkes, we wondered?

We stayed 2 nights, so experienced breakfast and evening. The breakfast was hot and plentiful.The evening meals were fantastic

After some searching we finally found somewhere in Chirk that was showing the RWC semi finals. Service was friendly. Locals too were friendly.

Visited Friday 23 October Great meal two steaks done perfectly excellent curry and gammon steak with real ale at reasonable price Special mention for the lovely waitress who made our night special

While staying at a local caravan site we visited for an evening meal. We were given a choice of two menues but decided on the Monster Mixed Grill and were not disappointed. A very tasty meal cooked to perfection with a very reasonable price tag. Will definitely visit again
