The Sussex in Denbighshire

Mmm food and beer and nice staff and good prices

First time here. Food was delicious and the staff friendly

Loved it great food great staff

We was sat outside with our spaniel having a drink and one of the staff came out to say we’re not allowed a dog on the premises i said I understand but we’re outside so she’s not in anyone’s way and was sat under the table, he then asked us to leave! So we got refunded for our drinks! Absolute disgrace!!!

Good quality very pleasant staff toilets exceptionally clean

Fantastic Breakfast , Hot and fresh , Quick service with a smile. Feel the staff and chef deserve a good review as every time we've visited the food has been lovely x

Had to get someone to clean the table down. Food was bland with little flavour in the mixed grill.

Good pub, great service, plenty of drinks on offer & very cheap.

Been here several times for breakfast, Always a great breakfast at good price only issue being, never hot.

Been here for a few hours and staff very efficient and fast, polite and professional. There is a great range of beers at good prices, May need a little refurb but clean and tidy. One person that was outstanding was a lady called chrissy (hope spelt write) very quick, polite ,helped 2 customers outstandingly who struggled for themselves ie disabilities/age, Also lead very well not sure if management though.

Typical Wetherspoons, nice food i have the large breakfast and coffee, place is warm and inviting on cold winter mornings, alwaus plenty of early tipplers here for banter

As you would expect spoons to be. One occasion the fryer wasn't working but gave other options. I was impressed with that.

Very busy, staff allowed us to move tables to accommodate all our group.

Called in for a bevi very reasonable

Lovely pub good mid range menu and lower prices for early eaters

I recently visited The Sussex and had a delightful experience! The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere with its spacious layout and classic decor. The staff was friendly and efficient, making our visit enjoyable. I tried the fish and chips, which were crispy and flavorful , accompanied by a generous portion of mushy peas. The drinks selection is impressive, with a variety of ales at great prices. The outdoor seating area is perfect for sunny days. Overall, a solid choice for a casual meal or drinks with friends recommended!

It was a lovely night out, all the staff were great, special shoutout to the bar staff, didnt catch his name but he was a young lad with curly hair - great service

Felt discriminated against for being Scottish, staff advised they could not take my £20 Bank of Scotland note. Surely they have machines or pens to make sure they are not fake, very angry re this its 2024 its ridiculous

Me and my family visited today for some lunch. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the food and the exceptional customer service. We will be definitely be visiting again

Got the wrong meal. Staff seemed a bit rude, more expensive than my local spoons found cheaper pubs locally

Good value and friendly service and food good

Well it's spoons, so food is as you would expect however the cook here isn't half bad! Food comes out well and quickly with service by lovely staff! A recommended visit!

On a turkey and tinsel trip to Llandundo i came over to Rhyl and came in and had the festive christmas lunch which i enjoyed

Great food as usual but noodle ball best yet and can I say the staff exceptionally caring and above and beyond when asked for help .

A great place nice staff great food good choice of ales

Their vegetarian breakfast is delicious! You can fit an espresso and a cappuccino in the same mug!

As all spoons, food rushed yet was warm not hot and fresh so wasn't eaten! Slow tables service,tables left over an hour without being cleaned and toilets definitely not checked regularly. Disappointing

Very pleasant atmosphere . Very good service thank you

It's exactly what you expect in a Wetherspoons

Great staff friendly and helpful.

Cheap and cheerful! What u expect of a weatherspoons.

Food very good, only thing was my grandson wanted gammon but they didn't have any. He went for the steak instead. He really enjoyed it, he's a fussy eater

Popped in for a bottomless coffee. Only £1.04. Nice atmosphere not too busy on an October Tuesday. Really good toilets (but upstairs)

A great meal sensible price af6er a letdown at another restaurant

Cheap tasty food. Very chavy place in the great of Rhyl. As long as you know where you are all good

Not much to say really, its a wetherspoons, all very much the same, only problems short staffed behind bar, long wait times, and as such, had to clear tables ourselves to find somewhere to sit, but otherwise OK

It's a cross between a transport cafe and a railway station bar, but excells on price and convenience. It's not the most atmospheric spoons locally (those in Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Ruthin are based in far more interesting buildings) but hey ho, this is Rhyl and passable is ok

Great place to have a drink. And the breakfast are meal after 12pm

Great pub great prices, no messin, i recommend the breakfasts, great value all round....,,,, .

Great pub. Had the freedom breakfast both mornings whilst staying there. Spot on both days, fast hot and great price.

We dined here three nights on the trot. The food is average, definitely not the best we have had ftom a Spoons. On the second night the meal we wanted although advertised was not avaliable, so we changed our order. We intended dining here for a third night, but the same meal was again off the menue, but this time so we're our alternate choices. So we left and went for a Chinese instead. The only saving grace for this Spoons is the staff who were pleasant and very helpful.

Pizza came a little underdone but when I asked for it to be cooked another 5 mins there wasn't a complaint the waitress was lovely and did me a fresh one which was excellent

Pleasant enough Spoons. Rarely disappoints.

We were not allowed to sit outside with the dogs, so couldn't try the place out

It's a Wetherspoons with zero personality. It wasn't welcoming (if that makes sense). Cheap though.

Friendly atmosphere. Good prices

Food was quick and nice enough, bathroom was clean, older lady bringing food was a bit moody but young lass behind the bar was lovely. Nice outside sitting area in the sun and drinks are made quick and nice.

Great Service 👍 and even better Price's 👏

One of the staff gave me an attitude just because I was sitting outside with my guinea pigs in the pet pram and as but anybody out they allow it they pissed me off I wouldn't go there

What can I say... Googled dog friendly pubs this came up. Raining and cold found dogs not allowed inside so sat in sheltered bit outside. I went to order only to find my daughter had been told to move as dog not allowed under shelter all other seating area away from the pub soaking wet with no shelter. Left and would not return. It is out of season and provisions should be made for people with pets to enjoy a meal. I

I was very relaxed sitting outside in the sun with a drink. The staff were very happy to help and seemed very happy in their work. Clean tables, everywhere looked very clean.

Always a good breakfast at Spoons

We cleared our own table due to no one coming to clear the plates

Clean nice inside food great drinks great price friendly staff

Great atmosphere Great for sport and good for music cheap drinks friendly staff 👍

It was very busy and only two staff members on the bar we had to clear & wipe our own table and my daughter ordered curry but half the rice was burn and all stuck together

As long as you don't blast out Eminem it's fabulous

Quick service not bad for a spoons

Got to be the worst Wetherspoons I have ever been in. Tables filthy, food was awful mixed grill was dry, fish and chips ok, burger was awful. Chips weee soggy, then to add insult to injury they girl Took our plates before we had finished. Won’t be returning and will tell everyone coming to Rhyl to avoid.

Typical spoons you know what your getting before you go in

Shame you can't sit outside with your dog even though there well behaved

It's spoons nothing else , tables not to clean , no great selection of food was a quick fix

The food looked like it was worth twice the price we paid for it when it arrived but was sadly let down by being too cold, especially the bacon which was more like ham from a fridge. That said the service was excellent and for the price it was a bargain! Inside was clean and tidy and all the staff seemed happy to be there and were very friendly.

Unfortunately, I regret to say that it is very dirty and I know that there are Wetherspoons where it is really nice and clean

Stopped into The Sussex and wished we hadn't bothered to be honest. It all felt a bit in need of a refurb and didn't feel even remotely welcoming. We 'enjoyed' a couple of soft drinks and wandered off to pastures new, in a bit of a hurry if truth be told. A Wetherspoons pub is never going to feel like walking into The Dorchester and The Sussex felt like walking into an Ibis Budget. If you like your pubs to feel a bit rough around the edges then this is the place for you

Nice food could have been hotter and the offer of gravy would have been good.

Brilliant place very friendly to the deaf community 👍

Although the app was down, quick service, great food and as always low price

Wot can i say its a weather spoons !! You get wot you pay for !!

Reasonable priced food and great drink offers.

Good prices good food as always

Typical Spoons pub, nothing spectactular

Great service, good location, fantastic range of beers. Hotel accommodation very reasonably priced, rooms clean tidy and functional

Myself and my family attended The Sussex for breakfast while on holiday in Prestatyn. Eating out as a family can be quite hard work as my husband is vegan, I am vegetarian, we have two children who can't eat/drink dairy and the only one in the family with no dietary requirements is incredibly fussy 🤦‍♀️ The gentleman who served us, Jordan, was very helpful, checking whether it would be possible to make the porridge non-dairy for our youngest, unfortunately it wasn't possible as the porridge mix contains milk even before it is cooked. I ordered the large breakfast for our lactose-intolerant son and requested non-dairy spread for the toast. When our food came out, which was within a very timely manner, Jordan had put non-dairy spread on all of our plates to ensure that our son definitely wasn't served dairy and offered to swap any to butter if we would prefer. As a family with dietary requirements it is always a bit of a minefield to eat out but Jordan ensured we had a pleasant visit with no worries.

Basic for a wetherspoons. But friendly staff . Good service,and prices low for a seaside resort establishment. It's in the town at Rhyl,and a few minutes walk and your on the beach. Food was ok 👍

Decent food (wish they crisped the bacon though). They had two coffee machines with one being able to make iced coffees which was good! Parking is available on the side streets but I’m not sure how hard it will be to park in the holiday season.

Nice open and wide range of choices available. For mobility issues nice lower level toilet available. Great hard working friendly staff too.

Standard Wetherspoons affair here. If you're a regular at spoons this will not feel any different. The food arrived quickly & there was a good turnover of customers. We had a few starters to eat & a drink. ✨

Typical Whethspoon service. Excellent prices and good food 👌 Table service spot on x

One of the worst wetherspoons experiences of my life, attended for a nice breakfast but had to spend my entire time listening to a junkie threaten to "put his dad to sleep" whilst screaming on the phone. Instead of removing said gentleman from the bar they served him another pint!! All this before 10am. Not sure I'll be visiting again which is a shame as a I love me a wethers

Not the best experience, table of 7 of us ordered food, all came at different times and the last meal over 30 mins later than the first so the rest of the group were finished, staff attitude to complain ws simply it's busy 😳 the only plus was cheap, the mixed grills looked pitiful and poorly presented

Having stayed at the Premier Inn on the Rhyl seafront, I discovered this pub, which was situated a couple of streets behind the beach front. It has a good selection of real ales and an extensive choice of food on the menu, which represents excellent value for money. I would thoroughly recommend this J D Wethersoon pub.

Not as cheap as my local but still reasonable, can get quite busy on weekends, staff are friendly and the beer is good

Tired and in need of refurbishment .

They do a decent breakfast and tables pretty clean. Can't ask for much more

I mean, a spoons is a spoons but I'm leaving the review as our food came so surprisingly quick, and the customer service was bloody brilliant! The chap who waited on our table was really friendly and was lovely with my little girl! Nothing was too much trouble! Food was a great price, hot and really very enjoyable!

Came in for breakfast on day one of our holiday in North Wales. The service was brilliant - everyone was so friendly and helpful, and couldn’t have done more to ensure we were happy with everything. The food was hot, fresh and perfectly cooked! One of the best Wetherspoons breakfasts we’ve had in a long time.

Sat outside. Sun shining. Everyone enjoying themselves.

By Wetherspoon standards our visit on 11 August 2019 was a little disappointing though still enjoyable. The staff were working flat out to get the food out but all staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The Shipyard was spot on and JD honey glaze was well up to scratch. The two sirloin steaks we had were tough though and had a fair amount of fat and gristle, there wasn't the usual chargrill flavour either but taste was ok. The Peppercorn sauce was bitter so not really edible. Chips and jacket were as expected. So the drinks and JD glaze lifted a generally below average experience but there's no faulting the staff at what was a busy time. I'd go back but prolly not have the steak next time.

Quick service at the bar, friendly staff and clean seating areas

Lovely jacket potato with coleslaw and salad

Nice and friendly staff. Clean place. Very Good pizza, good price.

Only ok as far as wetherspoons go. Bar staff were observant and friendly enough but the dining area is a bit like an old dears social club, no atmosphere and a bit dull so only had a swift pint and moved on.

Just pop in for a pint the staff are great polite friendly, £5.10 for 2 x coors one with lime. Only here for a couple of days will be in here from know on.

We were on holiday in Rhyl and called in the Sussex for a drink and something to eat. It was busy but we got a table, the food was excellent and drinks were acceptable.

We had a lovely meal, and the place was spotless

Cheap and cheerful as expected...beats kfc and mcdonalds

Went in and there was nothing available on the menu so left

Called in for a coffee while I was in rhyl, clean toilets, in ground floor (disabled) usual high standrerd staff were helpful.

My partner waited outside with our two small dogs as there was a clear sign stating no dogs allowed on the premises. I went inside and purchased two drinks. As I went back outside there was a member of staff informing my partner we wasn’t aloud to sit outside with our dogs!! But as we had purchased two drinks we could drink those but then would we leave….. I have never heard anything so ridiculous. There was no signs stating no dogs outside. Another couple came to sit by us with there two dogs we informed them what we had been told they went to the pub over the road. We have used other weather spoon pubs in different locations and never be told this. Good way to loose money. Oh and our dogs were better behaved than half the children sitting outside. Won’t use weather spoons again
