The Sun Verge in Denbighshire

We hadn't planned on going here, we were driving through Rhyl, reminiscing about the memories we had with my late dad. I was on holiday with my mum and my dog. We called in, it was Good Friday and we hadn't booked but despite tables being reserved the manager/ owner (didn't get his name unfortunately) went out of his way to find a table for us in the 'dog friendly area'. He moved bookings around to accommodate us and even went and got a bowl of water for Rosie. He couldn't have been nicer!! We ordered a carvery which was well presented and everything tasted absolutely lovely! We didn't feel rushed and everyone was so polite! Thankyou!!

Very clean, easy to deal with, and most of all good food, happy place.

Popped to Rhyl for the bank holiday weekend. Good service nice carvery though roast potatoes could be a little more cooked Nice selection of meats good choice of veg and the gravy was rather good

Had a lovely carvery, hot and tasty. Definitely recommend.

Lovely carvery nice to be able to take dog

Lovely food, great service, very much enjoyed my visit, will be back thanks very much, carvery is the best

Expensive and poor quality food.

Excellent staff is super friendly. The food is great off the menu. The carvery is not that bad it's a bit of a hit and miss. I've been and the carvery is Excellent and then i been and it seems a bit dry and the gravy was like water. But most of the time, it's good. The best thing is their yorkshire puddings are massive, and I love yorkshire pads. You have to pay in the car park but get it back at the bar. It's £2 for one hour, so because you get it back, always pay for the 2 hours, which is £3

Chicken tikka masala for my partner and hunters chicken for me with peri peri wings for starter for both of us it was really good food

We always pop in to the Sun on our bike ride up the coast. Staff are really helpful. I have just had the cowboy burger with gluten free bun. It was one of the best burgers I have had. The gluten free bun was tasty, loads of texture and bulk. The burger was also full of texture and not dripping with fat. Those that are gluten free eaters will know what I am talking about when it comes to burger buns. Anyway, well worth ordering and you can make your own mind up.

Although we waited a little while for our food to come, we had a lovely experience with the server 'Daniel' who really engaged with our family, had a lovely conversation about football. He wasn't there when we left so we asked someone else to update him with the score and to say bye, but he took the time to run outside and see us before we left. Our boys would go back just to see him. My youngest said "log in now and give him a 5 star review"

The food was excellent and the staff lovely. Add to that excellent value for money 💰

We had a good time when we visited The Sun Verge recently, the food was fine and the service was great. They were very busy and went above and beyond and manage to find a table for our party of five.

Starters were OK mains were disgusting. You couldn't get staff attention to complain. Kids running riot around the place. Not impressed at all

Megan was amazing , great server, looked after us well

Found a table straight away outside overlooking the seafront. It was quiet but there was a lot of leftovers on the tables and rubbish about. We ordered via the app, we ordered some sharing starters and found the portions small for the price. We ordered a sharing chicken wings platter but were given an individual portion so had to go inside. We ordered a loaded fries sharing platter, the fries were quite soggy and felt undercooked, normally when had elsewhere they are crispy and proper chips rather than French fries. The portion size was small considering it was meant to be a sharing portion and it was over £10. The new portion of wings took a while to come out so we had finished everything else by the time they came out. The drinks were good value, 2 cocktails for £11 and properly made. Food left on tables were a target for seagulls, I know this happens but it could have been cleaned up quicker. It is our local pub and restaurant and we do like visiting, hopefully next time the food will be a bit better. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful though and it's a lovely setting

I went to the sun verge for a family meal, and for the money, the burger was awful. They were overcooked the bun fet stale where they tested it. The kids' chicken burgers were ok, but I wouldn't recommend the beef burgers stear clear of them. Staff were nice enough, but I've had better food at weatherspoons for a lot less. I wouldn't recommend eating here.

We were attending a show near by and decided to stop for lunch. We booked a table online. Great website, easy to use. We arrive and were shown to our table. Menu was fantastic and had so much choice. I would highly recommend the food. Arrived nice and hot, tasted fab. Arrived in good time too. Even had a pudding, delicious! Great value and a warm welcome by all the staff. Facilities were great. Toilets clean and tidy. We will be back!

Staff are so friendly and it's dog friendly cheap as chips definitely come back .

Food was good had to wait a while as busy

Short of staff tables dirty seemed to be one staff behind bar got cutlery from another table long wait to order food long wait for food and was cold when arrived Never again

For us it's the best pub food we enjoy the carvery, staff are very chatty and polite, pub very clean ,

Excellent and you can take dogs in

Dirty tables, little or no service at table.

Absolutely beautiful food, everything came out together and was hot. Staff were very welcoming and truly made our visit pleasurable, even the dog enjoyed her doggy dinner from here. 10/10 service and food

Brilliant Had a great time, polite and attentive staff. Good food

Great efficient service, clean and tidy, nice atmosphere, really impressed

My wife and I went to Sun Verge in Rhyl for lunch today, 16th March 2025. There were some positives (eg I had a nice beer), but my overall impression was that the food was dry and not the best experience, so I can't recommend it. Mixed grill - chips were hot, crisp and fluffy and there were plenty of them. The small piece of gammon was beautifully char grilled. Mushrooms and onion rings were nice. Sausage were small and below average for flavour (and dry). The egg and peas were passable - yolk was hard. The 4oz tiny lump of rump was rock hard and inedible (supposed to have been medium/well) - the close up photo doen't do justice to how small and bad it was. I had to leave that. The peppercorn sauce was tiny and cost £2 extra. Oh and there was a small piece of rubbery chicken. One to miss I think. The hunters chicken was very dry with very little sauce. Not one to repeat. Restaurants are often really stingy with their BBQ sauce yet charge the earth for the meals. Certainly best to avoid the mixed grill and hunters chicken (Southern Fried version). Thumbs down from me.

Wasn't good won't be rushing back

Worst place I have ever been too in my life 45 mins stood at bar waiting to be served only 2 ppl serving service is shocking avoid at all cost staff rude ignored when ask question lucky to get a 1 star

Food was nice and fresh but took quite a while and didn't all come out together, friendly staff, good atmosphere

The carvery's appearance was deceiving. The food was utterly tasteless and boring. A complete waste of a meal. I won't be returning

Ordered 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine from the bar. £32.32. Was charged £4.22 gratuity for collecting our own drinks. I don't ripped off that bad in London. We are having the one drink and will not be returning. We booked a table for dinner for four. We will be leaving just as soon as the drinks are swallowed. We will NEVER return.

Top custmer service, they did everything to make us feel welcome, the food was piping hot, the atmosphere was great, I will defiantly be returning here again

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Was considerate to our needs and meeting wheelchair access.

We regularly have a carvery here and find it to be better than our experience today. The Gentleman (Ste) that usually serves us on a monday or Tursday is always very polite,helpful & friendly. Today (Wednesday) 1pm, we were served by an older lady who was quite rude Trina or Trisha, didn't seem to be able to run the bar as it should be, large queue but not that busy generally, most of the tables were reserved so the only table available was one for 8 people (2 of us) when we went to get served we were met by a stare and that table is for 8, and oh i suppose you can stay there, no ticket given to us for the carvery,hot drinks left to go cold on bar ( Ste brings them over ) didn't even apologise or replace drinks, moved table as she was staring at us while we ate. Ste asked us if all was ok and replaced our cold drinks. This lady shouldn't be working serving the public as she has zero customer service skills, she should take a leaf out of the young mans ( Ste ) book as he is professional and is a credit to the Sun Verge .

A warm welcome from the moment we stepped inside. Dog friendly!

The staff were friendly and polite. The place was clean and the music was great ( playing some oldies) the food was nice and hot but a little on the small side. We came for dad's birthday meal, which was his first time in the sun Verge, he was happy with his curry and said he would come again. So, thankyou for a pleasant evening :)

Amazing place!, great atmosphere, staff are all so kind and friendly, drinks and food speak for themselves! Our favourite place just to have something to eat or have a few drinks with great company, wouldnt go anywhere else!!

My friend carys recommended this place and she couldn't have been more spot on. Food was delicious and hot. Staff were friendly and very helpful and the restaurant itself was clean and felt very welcoming. Would visit again

Amazing atmosphere, staff are amazing! when my grandad fell poorly he wasn’t able to go out as much or often as he wanted to, until on a whim he came into the sun verge and from his first day the staff took great care of him now he’s happy to say he’s one of their number one customers!! Couldn’t thank the staff more for taking great care of him and making his experience better and going above and beyond to make him feel welcome

Polite friendly staff,drinks were ordered via the app,delivered to table 20 within minutes.

The carvery was nice the pudding lemon pie was unusual but nice the staff we’re lovely but never come round to see if everything was ok apart from that a very good evening

The staff were very friendly and very polite and I felt welcomed it’s a really cosy pub with stunning interior and the views are amazing also the best part for me was seeing the Doggy Menu as I’ve never seen that in any other pub . And it’s an amazing idea I will definitely be going back that’s for sure

I would like to say thank you to the outstanding service and welcome we got from staff at sun verge. The man who seated us at table 9 went above and beyond for our little lady in a wheelchair. That kind of care and attention goes a long way with us so thank you so much for making sure we were happy and comfortable. Oh by the way, the food is amazing.

Place nice Seaview window, staff friendly place clean ,just the food was disappointed with it for the price 😕

Great carvery meal and a well poured Guinness 👌

Cowboy burger was perfect. Great service

Food was good, although it was ruined by the unprofessional staff, so rude and not welcoming at all.

The place has had the shakeup it needed. It's being run very well now.

Been to sunverge rhyl with the wife n kids Really enjoyed it 😊 excellent food and my grandson asked for the chef to thank him 😀

Overpriced ..awful food ... pint of IPA nearly £7 !!!! Waited nearly 25mins for food no one else eating in there but us, so why the long wait ?? We had a double cheeseburger that had no cheese on it ?? Soggy lettuce and the meat tasted awful .. dont eat here nearly £13 as well came with fries that were rock hard & reheated wont be eating here ever again ..

Over priced for non alcoholic beers, food wasn't that great, staff not friendly at all. Won't be going again.

Love the carvery here. A choice of 3 sizes of plate and usually 3 different meats to choose from. The place is clean and staff are lovely. Great sea views while you eat.

Hour to wait for food and the quality was terrible

This place is a shambles went yesterday and got 2 carverys havent stopped throwing up since 6am this morning was barely any choice was only there was crumbs of meat left and will NOT BE RETURNING!

Kid friendly, dog friendly unfortunately some staff cannot be so customer friendly. Great staff member in Rachel. Lovely views. Great cocktails and drinks. Food is usually good a little bit hit and miss.

We visited twice one on the 7 Jan when the woman behind the bar who took our order was disinterested and ungrateful. She was unsuitable for her role. The food was ok at best. The young woman who brought our food was much more suited to her role, pleasant. We went back the next day as it was tight next door to the Travelodge and it was bitterly cold so we didn’t want to walk into Rhyl town. The staff were far better this time but the Tai curry was poor. Mine was mostly liquid with a few pieces of vegetable. I expected far better from a company as large as Marstons to provide good food and service.

Excellent staff and service. They accept dogs, which is great.

Food was cold chicken not cooked beer was flat other than that disgusting will not go in there again

Ended my meal by being rushed into hospital with allergic reactions

Well never been here before until tonight but the way the bar staff treated us like we had been and i knew everything but hadn't a clue with how to order or how to pay. Don't think it nice have to try and enjoy a meal with barking dogs uch it was like sitting in the kennels The food wasnt the best I've had but when my partner half way through his meal there was a peace of black hair on his plate under a chip he hasn't hair and I'm blonde So disappointing and won't be returning just to add I did tell a member off staff about the hair he just laughed it off as I did say I didn't want to make a fuss buy was shocked he laughed it off And I didn't know that was the dog friendly section u should of asked if we was happy to sit at the dog friendly part (seeing we didn't have a dog) u also need to get ur male kitchen staff to wear hair net over facial hair and head

Well been a while since we visited here but are daughter told us try it it's changed so my son treated myself and his mum to a birthday meal on Saturday and was really presently surprised was great found a seat straight away really enjoyed are Meal top makes to the chef and staff.. vast improvement since are previous visit

Great picky food with lots of drinks. Just the job

Not as good as previous experiences. We come here yearly after the Rhyl pantomime and this year we were disappointed. The booking was stressful usually we don’t do a deposit but had to which was complicated with 14 people and different families. The food wasn’t good this year. I had pigs in blankets with the cavery that were raw so couldn’t eat them. Service wasn’t good either so I don’t think we’d return.

Drinks overpriced food passable

I went to the Sun Verge as it was my favourite place to eat when I lived in Rhyl a few years ago. Sadly, I wish I hadn't, the staff were lovely, polite, helpful, and cheerful, the manager, however was vile. He was rude, obnoxious, and very unhelpful. I ordered meat free sausages with my carvery but was told I would have to wait a few minutes, no problem, I went to collect my vegetables etc from the carvery counter and sat at my table which the young guy who served me entered into the till. I finished my complete meal but still no meat free sausages had arrived, still not really a problem, but as I had paid for them I still wanted them. I went to the bar and the young girl and young man were really helpful and couldn't apologise enough, however they said they needed to speak to the manager. So I went with them to speak to the 'manager', he said to me, "where have you been? We have been looking all over for you to tell you we don't have meat free sausages", I said I have been sitting at the table, the number of which was entered into the till. He disputed this fact, but I had, obviously, not moved as I had been eating the rest of my carvery. He repeated this statement more than once, but when I tried to tell him I hadn't moved as I was eating he rolled his eyes and said whatever you can have a spinach tart instead. I said okay, then he said it will take around 5 - 7 minutes, I said no problem I will just go to check on my dogs and I will come back In 5 minutes. When I got outside I was really upset because I was spending Christmas alone for the 1st time and was really looking forward to being around other people enjoying Christmas. I couldn't bring myself to go back in to face this rude man again so I went home. I am so throughly disappointed about my experience and very sad, especially as it was the Christmas season, but my day was ruined by this thoughtless man.

Food tasty and hot. Staff very attentive. They were spot on with allergies. Any questions were answered straight away. It was a shame they had run out of sausage for kids sausage and mash. Overall a very good experience, we will be back

Went for Christmas lunch not worth the amount it cost No Xmas atmosphere no Xmas music Xmas crackers were cheap Main meal not up to usual standard Not able to make a basic Irish coffee Staff were friendly and helpful

Been coming here quite abit over the years and noticed the decline its a shame. Need more staff and improvement on food.

It's definitely 5* for the barman Ste(Stephen). He was actually doing everything. Serving behind the bar, waiting on tables. Also the carvery, until someone else took over. He is an asset to the place. The Carvery wasn't very nice. Beef was tough, peas hard just awful really. It's a shame , the pubs in a nice area. Short staffed as well.

Went for a cavery the food was amazingly the restaurant was lovely and clean and the staff were warm and welcoming

Perfect. Everything was perfect, the staff, the food and the service! Deffo coming back soon innit

After a horrific storm, this was pure bliss today. Amazing carvery

Excellent food and excellent service from all

Amazing food served in a quick manner with excellent staff would deffo recommend this fantastic venue fantastic sunset views to

Great place full of bars/ pubs and places to eat even got a cinema, can get very busy at certain times but still a great place

Loved it, the carvery was fantastic and staff couldn't help you enough. Lovely people. Great food!

Great place, lovely food, drink, view and employees.

All staff were happy, helpful and showed pride on their work. Great food and atmosphere. Love a Carvery and family enjoyed their choice of meal too.

Excellent meal and the service was also excellent

Fantastic wreath making workshop with Rachel who was so lovely! Bargain with carvery and drink included! The only thing I’d say is that the carvery wasn’t hot but it still tasted good!

Really ready good meals. It is under new management I understand and I could not fault the service and food

Booked a carvery for 19 people. It was a Clwyd Alyn work day out for staff that followed a picture hunt round Rhyl. The food was lovely and the carvery meat was really good. Have known carvery meat to be a bit dry sometimes with it being under the lights but it was great and a lot of colleagues commented on this. Your staff were great as always (I come there quite often for a couple of pints). If there was one thing that I would say could improve, it was just the cauliflower cheese. It wan't cheesey to me but that is just personal opinion and if it was more cheesey, other people might not like it. I still ate it all though lol so not really an issue. All in all 10 out of 10. Thanks for a great meal and service from me and all that attended.

Went for a meal last night. Must say meals have been hit and miss in the past last night was excellent cooked to perfection and service was great.

Popped in for an early evening meal after a long drive up from somerset, my wife and I went for a hunters chicken meal, chicken was well cooked and chips were crisp and not oily, we were pleased we looked in.

The perfect Sunday carvery. Clean, comfortable environment and perfect food (again). Highly recommended

Went for Sunday carvery. Only given two small slices of meat for standard meal. Usually get 3 decent slices of meat at other carveries for the same price. Disappointed. Was better last time I went there.

Great place for pre theatre meal with good pub food and carvery and polite, efficient staff but be aware that mean Denbighshire CC now make you pay to park!! This means pay to park to eat, they pay again to go to the theatre!! Disgraceful !!!

worst setvice ive ever received,been working away 1st time ive been in for 3 months woww how things have changed,was served by a blond lady quite tall,roughly mid 50s with glasses,never experienced service and attitude like it,no wonder it was dead,premium prices with horrendous service,i will not return.came in on 12/11/2024

Had the carvery. Potatoes were rock hard and yorkshire puddings were tough as well.

Food was excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good selection of beers on offer

My first plate of food looked over cooked well the fish, I could not eat it so I sent it back . The second dish that came out was good. I don't like to complain, but if things are not right, then one should complain. It's how the restaurant deals with your complaint matters. The second dish was perfect, so thank you to the staff for putting things right.

I went here with my partner for his birthday the food was lovely all tables were cleaned the service was great the staff are nice and polite and food came quick loved it here and will definitely come back here more often :)

Overall the experience was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable and value for money for portions on what we ordered. The food was very good, although my one complaint is that the steak on both mixed grills that were ordered were over cooked. We ordered one medium-rare and one medium and both arrived medium-well to well cooked. Still perfectly edible, just not as ordered. One suggestion I have is that you add the BBQ steak topper to the mixed grill add on menu. 100% will be returning again- first place I've seen belly pork on offer for the carvery and I hope it's still offered when I next visit.

We were a group of 12 people. The staff were courteous and very helpful and the food was great. Everyone had only positive comments about the quality of the food served. The one point to address is the number of people behind the till, especially in busy times as I had to wait quite a bit even just to place the order. Otherwise all good and will visit again.

The carvary wasn't as good this time .The sprouts were dark green and bitty.The carrots looked dry..My husbands fish snd chips were fantastic though. The service was excellent

Woman on till was totally unacceptable within her demeanour and attitude the company needs to realise we pay good money for this and to be abused by staff for telling my wife the table no, who was talking to her also the food and gravy where cold

Our group had the Sunday roast the food was ok I wouldn't pay extra for pigs in blankets again as they were small and tasteless. We were served quickly due to us going up and having the roast. Downfall was they let people in with dogs and the dog just kept barking so we couldn't relax and talk as we could just hear the dog next to us ( this was not a working dog ) .

Unimpressed ordered 2 coffees on entry never arrived ,carvery meat (beef) neither myself or my wife could cut it tough as old boots , being a party of 7 and spending over £109.00 expect more won't be returning.
