The trap bar & grill in Flintshire

Lovely little place great set up, just don’t take your kids there. Not family friendly. My 2 year old who is potty training needed a wee quickly took him over to the bushes. I was then told by the owner that there had been a complaint about my two year old. If he needed a wee that they had a toilet. He’s two and potty training! He would have not made it to the toilet. ( would it be more ok if he wet himself, on the way to the toilet ) Ridiculous!! Really upset us and we had to leave. Not family friendly at all

First visit for breakfast after seeing many positive reviews. I have to say the quality of the produce was excellent and I would have given 5 stars expect I do have a pet hate when it comes to a breakfast…the plates the food arrived on were stone cold and the toast instead of being on a side plate was on top of the breakfast,yes I know it’s picky but unfortunately breakfast food goes cold very quickly on cold plates,just my opinion,as if this was totally different I would have given a huge thumbs up for it. Having said all that it was fab value for money including limitless tea or coffee Could not fault the staff,very pleasant and cozy surroundings we will definitely go back and hopefully to a warm plate lol

Well what can i say perfect as usual. 5* rating from me and my husband. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Literally the best breakfast and the staff our absolutely fantastic service with a smile always 🥰

Visited for breakfast Sunday (Mother’s Day) for three people- 2 adults and 9 year old after being told they do a cracking breakfast…… I know this place well having been for afternoon/evening drinks over the summer months and was excited to try the food. We were seated swiftly and given menus….I thought the table was small and cramped for 3 (but it was Mother’s Day so assumed they would be busy and short on space?! Although it was very quiet when we were eating?!) Ordered a large, medium and small breakfast with our server and informed her of a few changes to two of the meals which she wrote down and read back to us. She informed us the tea and coffee were “help yourself over at the back bar”. My first concern is I don’t really expect to be making my own drinks when I’m paying £9 for my breakfast and also it was instant coffee and not great at that. Unfortunately that didn’t sit well with us. Onto the food- they arrived together, however the changes on the medium and small hadn’t been executed and our server said “I did tell the kitchen” they had to be sent back to be changed. All the food came in room temperature plates (not heated) the food wasn’t overly hot at all. The sausage quality was good but unfortunately wasn’t cooked “hard enough” in the oven the skins were chewy and not rendered it was difficult to cut through them with the canteen style cutlery knives. The bacon had been pre grilled and gone cold then re heated - the fat was hard and white and stringy and again difficult to manage with a basic canteen knife. The ingredients of the meal were fine it was poorly executed. Lastly about the food- is the condiments which were basic cash and carry sachets, again at £9 for my breakfast I expect Heinz and HP sauces not plastic cheap sachets that this day and age we know are really bad for the environment….. Not wanting to jump on Tripadvisor to leave a bad review I had made my mind up that when they ask how meal was I will ask if I can speak to someone to give some constructive feedback (I know restaurants like this as I am a chef/proprietor) but unfortunately the server never asked me…..so when I went to pay at the bar again I was hoping the lady would ask how my meal was but unfortunately nothing again resulting in me leaving my feedback on here. One last point - the gents toilet had no loo roll (at 09.50- were they not checked ?!) also the hand sink water heater unit was impossible to get hot water out of. If the food was hotter, executed better with a decent hot drink then the smaller concerns would’ve likely been overlooked but we will likely stick to “just drinks” in future visits. Regards.

Not only a fantastic pub which puts on great entertainment, but had another great breakfast this weekend. Well deserved of their Michelle Inn star award for the best breakfast in Buckley 👍

Not been here for many years but went for a meal there a couple of months back, it still has its country pub charm and serves a good selection of beers and food. has a small car park and a good outside sitting area overlooking the Trap pool. A nice stop off for refreshment when out on a walk.

We visited as a family recently for Sunday lunch. The 3 course meal was nice and good value. There was an error on the bill but the staff sorted it out quickly.

Excellent,freshly cooked vegetables. Quality of beef was superb. Welcoming and friendly. Professional waitress.

My family and I visited The Trap Bar and Grill in the week for some dinner and drinks. The food and drinks were at a reasonable price, service was excellent and we didn’t have to wait long for our food to arrive. It was a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The quality of the food is excellent and fresh. I had The Trap Burger and it was delicious, the chips were so tasty. The chicken fajitas and chicken kebabs were also lovely with all the food highly recommended. I will be revisiting and is ideally located for where we live. Wishing the owners luck and hope the business thrives.

Been a few times now and have enjoyed every visit. Really good menu with plenty to choose from but I seem to go with the mixed grill every time and can’t recommend it more A must visit for locals and others from further afar

The food wasn’t great, far too much pesto! Desserts were overpriced and looked very shop bought. Service was good.

We visited here by chance when staying at the village resort nearby.I had the homemade Aberdeen Angus burger which was delicious with hand cut proper chips. My partner had a steak which was excellent value.Pub is quirky and different which we loved so much we stayed for cocktails.Beautiful setting next to the fishing lake to sit out next to. A reason to return to Buckley. Thanks again :)

Really good atmosphere here and good banter with the landlord and his wife,going today for Sunday lunch which like everything else in this establishment will be special

Booked a table here with friends, so glad we booked it was busy (Thursday night). We were shown to our table and we looked through the lovely menu. 2 of us had steak and one the curry.We were advised food would be a little longer wait wise than normal due to a few orders just gone to kitchen, we didn't mind.Our food came out and wow everything was amazing, the steak was cooked perfectly and melt in the mouth.the curry was also lovely as such good value for money. We all really enjoyed our food. Lovely staff& great atmosphere. We will definitely go again. If you haven't been please try it yourself, we had a lovely evening.

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Brilliant people working there. Desserts out of this world. Going again.

Have now had a couple of meals here since the new owners have arrived. Absolutely 100% spot on in service and value for money. The pub has had a full revamp with even a quiz night on a Monday night. My new local even tho I live a few miles away. Great place for food, great place for a drink, and in the coming summer months will be nice to sit outside with a stunning view of the fishing lake.

Lovely little pub since the new revamp. The service is excellent and the owners are really friendly. The food was reasonably priced and tasty, we had homemade curry with half and half which we both enjoyed. Glad we have a great local for drinks, food and even a quiz! Will be spending some time in the beer garden overlooking the lake in the summer

Saw on Facebook new owners had taken over,so thought we would give a try as i live in Buckley and like to support local businesses.

We have been waiting for some where to get good food in walking distance. We hand a great meal with lovely cocktails. The staff were friendly and we will be back shortly.

Just been for my husbands birthday staff always nice an friendly meal was superb nothing too much trouble just recently moved to the area so nice local pub would definitely recommend an will be back.
