The Trefnant Inn in Denbighshire

Absolutely amazing , Waitress asked and made sure everything was going okay, the food was amazing and delicious , definitely recommend

Excellent food and beer. Staff are great the very helpful

Can’t rate the food as we were so appalled by how dirty and run down the place was we took a quick exit. I don’t think we have ever been in a pub so dirty before and imagined the kitchen to be in the same state

Popped in after work for a cheeky meal with daughter , I had burger and daughter had sausage and mash both meals well presented and tasted great , burger was juicy and flavoursome with nice accompaniments, dirty fries nice addition great flavours, for desserts we had Eaton mess and waffle again nicely presented and tasted great , overall very enjoyable and really reasonable price , burger was Thursday special price of £10 which was excellent value , will definitely be eating here again , staff very professional and accommodating as well

Omg what a great time we had at the trefnant pub tonight food was excellent service out stand we will be back years ago was my local come up with great food and excellent food c u all very soon

A lovely meal this evening great food !! Good service

Personally I wasn’t keen on the, what seemed to be, deep fried hotdog which lead it to having a crispy/tough skin. Saying that the food had loads of taste and the prices were incredibly good value. The staff were nice and attentive and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The pub has been around for many years and I hope the current occupants do well.

Sunday roast takeaway was very good 😊

Beautiful Sunday lunch. The presentation was amazing and the portions were too much for me (will order a childs portion next time). Beef cooked to perfection and the sticky toffee pudding was delicious.

The food was lovely and we look forward to our next visit. We can highly recommend the chicken and chorizo linguine, fish and chips, Oreo Eton mess and sticky toffee pudding.

Bar area not very accommodating for the locals!!!

The best Sunday roast dinner iv ever had in a pub restaurant.

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch! Great service too!

Fortunely the food was alright. This was the only half decent side to our experience. No staff to be seen when we entered to greet customers, the restaurant had one other table of 2 yet after ordering our food still took over 45 minutes to arrive-.- (table of 3) We weren't approached again for the duration of our meal to see if the meals were okay or if we needed anything else. I had to find a staff member stood at the bar to ask them for one of our milkshakes. Milkshake arrived yet the staff didnt seem trained enough to even take our finished meals . Waiting on staff dressed in a hoodie, highly unprofessional and to top it all off they charge around FOUR POUND for a smidge of peppercorn sauce🫣😬 Absolute shambles.

We went in at the weekend and was surprised to not find only 1 other couple in. I ordered the mixed grill which had 25% off but was shocked to find the mixed grill only had steak,gammon and sausages. The 25% off must mean no chicken, lamb or eggs and with a normal price of £27.99 you would expect to have these as well. I also ordered the Diane sauce instead of the peppercorn sauce but after pouring the sauce over my food, I could swear that when eating my steak that there was peppers on it as my mouth was on fire. As I can't eat anything spicy. I did ask the waiter and she said the she had said diane sauce in the kitchen. Well there were some peppercorns on my plate. ?? So this was not my best experience of the restaurant 😡

We visited twice while in the area. Sunday dinner and a burger - both were exactly what you want in the meal. All cooked fresh without a big waiting time. Can't believe it wasn't busier, but selfishly glad we got served so quickly. Really glad we gave this place a try.

Best food around here! This place should be rated Michelin star for some dishes... Highly recommended

We were a party of 6 on holiday and, after looking at their website, decided this looked like a nice place to take our 86 year old mother for her birthday. Unfortunately, their website didn't accurately portray our experience. On entering, we were placed right next to the serving hatch. The decor was shabby, walls dirty and looked like the place hadn't been properly cleaned for a long time. We also requested a clean glass as there was a fly in it. We tried to see past this and hoped the food would have made up for it. But, to our disappointment, it didn't. 5 beef dinners...the meat was very tough and stuffing was hard. Veg was tasteless. 1 gammon...was so salty this was inedible. In all fairness we were refunded for this but waitress wasn't bothered about the beef being tough. My sister in law saw some of the food being served with bare hands and not utensils. One of the staff members was wearing gloves but the other wasn't. Customer service was just ok, staff appeared as though they really didn't want to be there. Overall very disappointing and we should have trusted our instincts and walked out before ordering but, didn't want to mess our 86 year old mother around and drag her off looking for somewhere else. The 6 of us would not recommend eating here unless major improvements were made.

Local pub for local people Just had a drink Poor choice of bitter

Service was excellent, lovely waitress! Food wasn't the best ,it was ok but could improve

Amazing food and really big portions. Service was fast and very polite too. Will definitely be back

I would highly recommend the burgers 🍔

Great value for money, enjoyable food and very friendly and helpful staff. Great Sunday lunch. Would definitely go again for that or to try midweek also.

Gluten free was a disaster my "pie' had no pastry whatsoever I ordered mushroom cheese and onion pie disappointed then ordered gluten free crumble and you guessed right no crumble disappointed yet again I am coeliac I cook with gluten free flour and gluten free pastry all the time no excuse sorry wo t be returning

Booked a meal for 6.30 turned up and told it was about a 40 to 50 minute wait for food it really wasn't busy no apology from the staff just handed a menu we just walked out we have always enjoyed eating here but they must up their game as there are plenty of other places to eat

Food was ok, we were sat right nxt to the pass looking into the open kitchen. Wasn't too keen to see the chef using one grubby looking tea towel to wipe surfaces & plates! A complaint was made by some diners, and the chef kicked off on the customers, shouting & swearing.....he grabbed his coat & walked out after a lot of arguing. Not what you want when you're dining out. The young staff tried their best & apologised for his behaviour. Sadly there didn't appear to be anyone in charge 😕. 20% was deducted from our bill, which was welcome but unfortunately we won't be frequenting the Trefnant again.

Myself and my partner had such an amazing meal here! The food and service was very good and the steaks were cooked perfectly!! Easy to park, very welcoming and superb food.

Service was unfriendly. Food cold and the room was cold.

Stopped here with friends for lunch during our stay nearby. It was quiet and we were the only ones in the pub, but it did not detract from the excellent food provided. Good choices on the lunchtime menu at reasonable prices with very adequate portions. Gets busy in the evenings and at weekends we were told by the very friendly and attentive staff member who served us.

Absolutely disgusted to be charged an extra £1.00 for extra gravy. Never have I had experienced this before from a supposedly superior dining venue. The room was cold and uninviting. Not coming back.

Been to the outlet shopping down the road and needed food when we left there. Found this place as we both wanted a burger. Didn't disappoint, food was delicious, hot and filling so definitely worth a visit. Depending on the day of the week they have different deals on and a massive meat sharing platter on a Saturday which looked amazing in the photographs we saw.

We walked in noticed the piles of dead flies, trailing wires, dirty cutlery, uncleared tables, wall heater that had fallen off, the disgusting smell and so we walked straight back out. The staff only noticed us as we were leaving. AVOID.

The first time I used The Trafant Inn was, and I was really impressed. A group of us were staying local in an A&B, and this pub was within walking distance. We eat there on 4 nights out of the 6 of our stay. The £10 specials are a bargain, though I did bulk a bit at the price of a pint of Atlantic, £5.50. At home, same pint £4.50.

Fab Sunday lunch, beef was "melt in the mouth" 😋😋 lovely atmosphere and even lovelier staff, def will be back! 😍

Love the food here. Polite staff, great prices.. keep up the good work 👏

Lovely food and excellent service, I look forward to visiting again!

Food was soooooo nice, well presented, good portions and quality restaurant food. Bar maid was super cute, polite, helpful, pretty, and nice and went over and above to ensure an excellent professional service. Think her name was Sienna 🤔

Have eaten and enjoyed better Sunday roasts !

Meh. First impressions, place looked run down and dirty. Dead flowers in vases on all tables was strange. Dust and dirt on shelves, etc. My food was okay, my partners was pretty appaling. Nothing great, expensive for a sub par meal. Bbq chicken saved the review from being a lower score. That was great. Service was also really good.

Such a shame, place looks tatty water on the floor and blue hand towels on the floor in the toilet. Beef Sunday dinner was average and tasteless although plentiful. The starter was ok (pate) the pudding was pretty basic (crumble) crumble topping was very light and lumpy with solid lumps of crumble which didn't crumble besides crack a filling. Very expensive for the quality of food

Friendly welcome good food great service.

Most amazing food and service! We love going for a treat night

It was great! The service, the delicious greasiness of the burger (as it should be 👍), the ambience. I'll go back soon! 🥳

Went there for Sunday lunch on 30th April 2023 and myself and my partner really enjoyed it. Loved the presentation and the taste of everything on the plate. Probably the best roast dinner we've ever had, top marks to the chef of the day👌

Delicious well a worth a trip & we will be back again for the deep fried parsnip crisps on top of the Yorkshire pubs there were lots of different flavors going on 👍

Food was lovely! If we lived more local we would be back

The food and service was excellent I've visited a few times and the service and food are still excellent

Very disappointed the halloumi burger was tasteless the bun was soggy due to too much salsa dip my partners meal was slightly better but won’t be returning as prices were expensive for what it was. The place looks dirty and unkempt the radiator was leaking with towels soaking up the water, the wallpaper was coming off the walls in places and just generally looked run down.

After driving past this place for a couple of years i decided to try it as it looks nice from the outside. All i can say is the owner should close for a week and get this place sorted out. My table was next to the kitchen door and there had been food dropped on the floor and this had started to go mouldy. There was food on the walls the door and everywhere. It wasn't nice to look at thinking how clean is the rest of this place when you can walk past this day after day and not clean it up. I went to the toilet and had to stand in a big puddle of something because there water all over the floor. This has been going on for some time as the wallpaper has started to come away on the other side of the wall. The staff are very pleasant but have definitely had no training by the management. The food was nice and i couldn't fault it. TO THE OWNERS. stop take a look around and think how much longer can i keep running my business in this condition and get a maintenance team in and a cleaner

A TALE OF TWO SITTINGS. We were quite relieved to secure a seat as it was around 8pm on a Tuesday evening. My good lady quickly saw her meal of choice Thai green curry although she was disappointed they wouldn't do 'half & half' but instead insisted she buy a separate portion of chips (which were actually frozen fries). After a brief and unfulfilling conversation I plumped for the baked chicken, mac & cheese with a separate portion of garlic & parmesan fries. This is were the experience splits into two - my meal although a little bland was acceptable however my wife (who is an excellent cook herself) described hers as disgusting, terrible and not what she expected at all. The curry contained no chicken and all she could taste was excess use of chillies which is bizarre considering thai green curry is a more subtle flavoured curry. We noticed afterwards there was a small and discreet 'v' next to the meal something my wife missed. Here's the real kick in the teeth, whatever can be argued about the meal when the waitress came and did the obligatory 'How's your meal' question my wife responded honestly as above disgusting, terrible etc to our disbelief she just said 'oh okay' and toddled off with not even an offer of picking something else. When i came

Christmas Dinner absolutely fantastic! From starters to coffee and mince pie ending it was stunning. Staff very attentive, chef Dan was great and had time to come out of the kitchen for a chat. A very nice change from our usual haunt. Well done Dan and Co.....

Lovely set up and fantastic food, highly recommended 👍👍👍

Superb food staff very polite, Decor could use a touch up.

Food is always fantastic here, yet again....one of our favourite places 😋

Extremely good food and plenty of it. Staff very friendly and professional. Highly recommend you visit

Was really excited to come here after seeing great reviews, but unfortunately things could have been better. We booked at 8pm (not too late) and was shown to our table. We were then waiting for around 20mins to order food, and after asking ourselves if we could order, we then ordered our food. It was understandable that it was very busy, and very hot, and we commend the waitresses and chefs for working in this heat. The place also seemed very understaffed. After around 35-40 mins we got our food. It was nice but the chips and onion rings were slightly cold, and it seemed they had been on the hot plate for a while. The food was nice but due to this, could have been better. Very disappointing for our trip away, but we understand how busy it was, we could have been paid a little bit more attention to by the staff and the food could have been better.

On Facebook the pub and food look amazing so was really excited to go but wow what a surprise it was awful the pub stank of drains so we asked to sit outside as it was nice and then we walked threw drain water to the garden but which was scruffy.. we then got attacked by wraps an flys probably because of the drain water that was everywhere.. the food came and the burger was so pink I couldn’t eat it.. I just got up and left

Great food brilliant Sunday roast

Lovely meal. Quite a wait for it but worth it

Lovely lunch for 4. Definitely worth a visit

Great menu at a reasonable price

Food good and quite varied, were able to accommodate large party at short notice

Food was good but service was poor. If they had more customers eating then it wouldn't be a problem but was soon as we walked in, we were pointed to the table then waited 15mins for drinks. But food was good

We went to Trefnant Inn this weekend just gone, brilliant service, quick and friendly. Food was amazing and so fresh. Chicken wings to start and the mains were brisket and chicken skewers 😍 Will be going back very soon, Thankyou!

Lovely outside seating area and nice pint! What more do you want?! Great location to stop at on the way past.

Great to see the team again after a while. Food tasted lovely as always and great service. I've heard the take out burgers are amazing but I'll have to wait to try them!

Very disappointed with everything about this place. I read the reviews and had great expectations but it must have changed hands . Staff were miserable and food choice limited. Its totally out of character with the village

Just called in as we had not seen Dan for a while, and was met wiv big smiles nd great service as always. Decided on having g something to eat, decided on Ham, Egg n Chips. WOW!! So tasty n filling. Can't Thank You Enough for the Perfect Hospitality 🍽🍻👌👍

Went for a drive in the glorious sunshine and decided to call in and visit a good family friend Dan. Lovely catch up and had a gorgeous meal, ham egg and chips. Really tasty, and very enjoyable too. Good hospitality as usual x Thank You Dan, would highly recommend 🍽️🍻👍👌

Staff was very friendly and the food was amazing, would definitely recommend

Went for lunch today..we shared a platter for 2 for £30 plus 2 small drinks...thursdays deal ...generous portions and exellent quality food ... good service and we will definitely be going back.

Staff are brilliant. Food was amazing! The sharing platter is so big and so good!

Food superb, and presentation very eye catching. Really enjoyed my meal.

Enjoyable lunch of chicken and King prawn skewers. Friendly service

Good service toilets outstanding , only down fall half the menu not available no.specials on board

Food and drinks all excellent. Not so sure about the wallpaper 🤣

Food is really good and the service spot on. Food a bit pricey for Trefnant, and cheaper just as good options around. Inside needs improving. Felt a bit cheap. Also, not sure if it’s a pub or a restaurant.

Beautiful food with the nicest staff nothing was to much. This place is a place you must go just to see how nice it is for yourself

Lovely, with very good professional young ladies serving.

Waited a long time for food it was OK when it came wouldn't go over board on it

Excellent food 1st visit 5 star can not fault staff very friendly 6 of us dined most had 3 course price was excellent for the quality of the food would definitely recommend and I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area

I won a compation for a meal and it was excellent . so decided we would call there last night after being to st asaph for booster jab and wasn,t dissappointed food and staff were great highly recommend the meat platter for 2 there was definately enough for 3

Great food presentation was fantastic

Too clinical, made to feel unwelcome, only stopped for a Coffee, stuck out of sight in the corner because we had not booked!!!

My husband and I just had dinner here after a day doing tourist stuff. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We both had a lovely meal. Hubby had rump steak and I had the beef brisket. Beautiful meal and well done to the chef. If I had one minor fault it was that my corn on the cob was over done and lost that juicy crisp but apart from that I can’t fault the meal. Homemade coleslaw was so tasty. Will definitely be back before we go home.

Great food, liked the simplicity of the menu. Food was excellent and the team were really friendly. They never stopped cleaning! Very well run. Noted the play area and smokers shelter that caters for all. Nice how it was divided into little seating sections. WC's even had a surprise! Lol. Had the brisket & chicken as main and was 👌

Not cheap but excellent quality and service.

Very nice place, great food. Very friendly and efficient staff. Will be going back.

Lovely meal but the place needs totally gutting

Awful. Majority of the menu had been deleted with no explanation or apologies from staff.

I've not eaten here but I had to deliver a couple of parcels today. I must say the lady who gave her name as Tracey Adams 😂 is a huge credit to the staff, a very fun easy going lady. I'd come back just to enjoy her company. The pub is going through a refurb and is looking very nice, soon to be finished.

Very nice pub food and service was excellent

Food was great but a bit expensive when you have 3 courses lol and soft drinks were dear

A cracking pub with tasty food and great beer. We're spoilt to have it just 5 minutes walk away. I highly recommend the nut roast it's delicious!!

We visited last night, new to the area and came across this gem! Lamb shoulder was excellent, definitely recommend this place if you're in St Asaph!

Good food, decent beer and good service, simples 😁👍

Great, well prepared food at a really nice venue, plus with dogs welcomed outside in the lower beer garden it was a wonderful place to have a Sunday lunch at short notice (booking for indoor tables is recommended at the moment).

On the crossroads,surprise find,work has been carried out to improve the carpark.you are on a slope,walk down through the gardens and you are surprised how spacious and airy it is,modern interior with good seating and marvellous drinks,Qwerty bar area in the middle.even the chef helps out with drinks and food orders,Busy,and food looks amazing

Delicious green Thai curry. Toilets could do with a refurb. Lovely staff

Very good friendly staff good service
