Verve Bar & Grill in Flintshire

For a large chain hotel, I wasn’t expecting a restaurant which is a sports bar. It had a very intimidating vibe for both nights of my stay, full of football fans and not a place I’d like to visit alone. Due to the Village’s lack of phones in rooms, you must go to the bar to order your room service (app system hasn’t worked the 4 times I’ve stayed at Village Hotels) Poor food and no vegetarian mains on offer, only salads and a burger from the “grill” section. Will avoid village hotels from here on.

My daughter had been for a meal last year and said it was poor but the bar and grill had not long been open. Giving it the benefit of the doubt we went earlier this evening and wish we hadn't, dreadful meal, will not be going back.

Booked a table for Saturday night. This is not a restaurant but a bar and grill type of dining experience. The noise was horrendous, couldn’t here ourselves think never mind talk to each other. If you want a nice relaxing place to eat where you can talk as a couple this is certainly not the place. Saying that the food was delicious.

Lovely bar area and food ok but i feel compelled to write this review due to the smell of the toilets The smell is overpowering and reminds me of an underpass or filthy public toilets . The whole place is being refurbished so maybe aren’t bothering to maintain the toilets but the smell entering the corridor to the toilets is overpowering and off putting Wouldn’t visit again until work completed

This place is like Freddie Karno's Circus. It is chaotic. Firstly our ribs arrived looking like they had been microwaved. Tough, anemic and poor sauce. We sent them back and had them removed from the bill. The waitress apologized. My wife's teriyaki salmon was nice and my burger would have been if the chips weren't stone cold. I sent them to be replaced and the waitress apologized again. We had to find another waitress to get more drinks as ours had disappeared for a while. We chose deserts. My wife's was fine but when I asked if the Chocolate fudge cake was hot and was told it was, it arrived cold.The waitress apologized again. I sent it back to come back lukewarm. I just eat it as every time it took ages to find the waitress who was permanently busy even thought it was Monday night and the restaurant wasn't full. I would have asked for a reduction has I not had a discounted voucher. It is no wonder pub chains like Brunning and Price thrive against amateurish competition like this. I won't be going again

Visited over the weekend. Normal restaurant closed due to refurbishment, not open again until March 19. You will eat in either the conservatory or one of the conference rooms.

Having read a few bad reviews in the past, I was a bit worried after booking DBB stay st the hotel, especially as it was or anniversary. The set menu didn’t have much choice, but we were happy to choose from the menu, but was also offered to pick from a la carte with a £15 allowance and top up. The set menu was really good, we had a flat bread starter and hummus and tortilla chips.. both excellent. Main courses: we had the herb marinated grilled chicken and warm salad, and the chicken piri piri kebabs; both were excellent. We wanted the pineapple crumble but it had all gone, so I had the deconstructed cheesecake and hubby had the fudge cake, again both excellent. Only complaint was the espresso which was a machine one... not nice. Staff were lovely and friendly and welcoming.

Enjoyed a nice meal here with business colleague and suppliers. Very reasonable prices. Good portion size. I had a steak cooked medium, very nicely done. Would say to eat here if staying at the hotel

Friendly welcome and service always a bonus. Food is good and better than most hotels. Steaks were cooked as ordered and everyone enjoyed their meals. Staying there as well so we will be back.

I think the chef had overdone the chillis, I can eat medium hot curries with no discomfort but my chicken dish coating burned the back of my throat and other members of the family struggled too. We dis query it with our waitress who said the dishes were supposed to be like that, although in other Verve grills we had had no problem!!

Vi var ettstörre sällskap som åt här på kvällen. Dom tog ingen dryckesorder till förrätten... varmrätten var ljummen. Medioker mat o dålig service.

Love coming here with friends, dining room is spotless very light and well decorated. Plenty of starters to choose from and if you have a favourite you can go up for more. I had roast beef was cooked and sliced perfectly . All the veg was cooked to perfection. I made room for desert a delicious chocolate mouse. At £14.95 for adults it's fantastic value , not sure price of children's. Great outdoor areas and well kept Can't wait to come back again

We stay at lots of lovely hotels and have never paid so much for mediocre Brewers Fayre type food. I have never seen mussels so tiny and tasteless, as for the prawns and squid starter at £8 there could have been more of it and the batter was not as stated, it was soggy. Burger at £13 was very tasty, if a little on the pricey side, but one fillet of salmon, a few over-cooked chips (actually soggy, dark, overcooked wedges) on overcooked kale, at £18 was abominable. Two bottles of water £8. The restaurant speaks for itself though. Only three couples in on a Saturday evening at 8pm says it all. We only used it for convenience. Sorry must bring prices down and food standards up.

Booked s table for dinner Saturday night for two. Easy booking system. Restaurant and toilets accessible to disabled diners. Standard menu with traditional food, great to see the addition of sweet potato fries:-) Definitely recommend the tacos for starters, really tasty and two is definitely not enough 😋 so we ordered double. I had the traditional beef burger with fries and Mrs B had the chicken skewers. Well presented, hot, tasty filling food. Bill for two was £81 including 1 non alcoholic drink each and a bottle of water. Didn’t have pudding but the choice looked delicious. Service was friendly and the food was delivered to our table within a good time frame. All in all is the restaurant value for money, yes as a treat. Thank you.

I have had the misfortune to have dined here twice though not the choice. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Food was cold and undercooked. Avoid at all costs

Sides were dirty and menus were sticky. Waiting staff were okay. Food was just okay, drinks warm. Overall i would rate as average and no better.

We were made very welcome and received friendly service from clearly well trained staff.The variety of menu's included vegetarian and without fail, were cooked to order and hot.

Visited here with family. Had the ribs which were really tasty. The waitress was really friendly and helpful. Would recommend booking as can get busy at weekends

Great food served, staff were friendly and the food well presented. Definitely worth a visit for food only.

Weekend away and dined in the verve 5 times in total. Customer service was exceptional and a thank you to Angela for her outstanding service. Breakfast was plentiful and a varied. Dinner was well presented and tasty. The tall young man who served our table delivered outstanding customer service thank you. Sunday lunch menu is very great value for money, a selection of flavours and the crumble and custard ( I asked for cold ) nothing was too much trouble. Huge thanks to the restaurant manager, what s different customer experience. Thank you.

All veggies/salad starters and sides were poor quality. 2 courses and a glass of wine each for 2 came out at £87 which was pricey for the quality to be honest.

The Restaurant décor was easy on the eye, clean, warm and nicely laid out. We had the TDH menu which was part of an inclusive promotional deal. We had the main course and a dessert. Although it was only a burger meal, it was well worth our visit. The meal was well cooked, the burger was seasoned appropriately, the sides very tasty and, the whole meal was very well presented on a wooden platter. The staff was extremely pleasant, friendly and, made us felt relaxed.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere, comfortable surroundings....would stay again.....staff very helpful and informative

After a 5 hour journey it was lovely to have a bar/restaurant in our hotel. The food was delicious, maybe not ‘luxury’, however this is reflected in the very reasonable price. Portions are huge and we enjoyed the cocktails as a little treat.

detailed review under the hotel but to confirm - meal was very basic if you wanted a la carte you received a £15.00 credit - but a basic rump steak was £26.00 and fillet was £28.00 - not worth paying the difference and would not eat at the verve again.

Thought we would go out for a nice Sunday lunch to celebrate are 46yr anaversary,how wrong could I have been.....soup ok but Luke warm, salad bar limited choice but picked a ceaser salad I might be wrong but I didn't think that you had fish in it (along slither of hairy fish in it (defo fish as smelt it ) main course meat good choice veg over cooked and sloppy cauliflower was a mush and cheese on top was burnt black and could pull it off,roasters I think where frozen and been in oven that long you could not get knife though it !!! Sweet probably was the best of all 4 courses but only marginaly ......so all in all £54 not well spent

The food was part of the weekend package and we knew it was a limited menu, which we had seen prior to the visit. It was either starter and main or main and dessert. We chose the latter and ordered the burger. My wife asked for her burger to be well done but we were told that they were all medium so clearly not cocked to order, but the waiter would ask for it to be cooked for longer.

Como sólo estamos a la altura de la calle de este hotel. . muchas, muchas veces en los últimos veinte años o así hemos

Si lees mi otra crítica sobre el Village Square Hotel, sabe que no soy un fan de ese lugar. Su restaurante "Verve Grill" es uno de esos "cliente rehenes "lugares donde no hay nada más. Mi opinión es que Verve Grill es pretensiones y ridículamente caros. Si has llegado que el Village Square y no pueden enfrentarse a otro en coche, hazte un favor y caminar por la calle a la carrera Hare pub pub de comida básica y un buen asador. Alternativamente, caminar cinco minutos en Hawarden, pasando el Coop a la "Corona y el hígado "pub. Este es el promedio de agua potable locales en un pueblo, pero creo que la comida allí es aún mejor y mucho más barato. Si eres un gourmet - lo siento, de verdad tienes que conducir a Chester para conseguir una comida decente.

Comí en el Verve Grill en la calle David's Village Hotel Chester en 27 de junio y la mañana siguiente.

My partner and i had dinner here on Friday night... we were met by the restaurant manager and show to a nice table...we were given time to choose as we already had drinks... the food came my partner had the pate with flat breads... as a chef she knows when something is stale as the flat breads were... the whole started was changed without any fuss or problems... the rest of the meal was amazing..we were offered comp desserts but we were so full we couldn't... the restaurant manager approached us when we asked for the bill... he had not only compt our starter but also our bottle of wine because we had to eat our starters at a different time... we want expecting anything like that and we were so pleased... overall a poor start but smashed it out of the ball park by the end... all the staff couldn't have been nicer

Visited on Sunday 21 May for lunch. The choices have changed considerably since my last visit and to be honest I was a little disappointed. First course choices are ok and the carvery was hot, but the sprouts (that are no longer in season - so why are they serving them) were like bullets. Desserts were served as the starters were in little plastic pots. They have done away with the fresh pasta bar, the waffle bar and the cheese and biscuits. Staff were all over the place and looked disinterested.Just didn't cut it I'm afraid

Had a lovely breakfast whilst staying at the hotel. Plenty of choice of food. Good help yourself cooked breakfast and cereals, croissants, yogurt, juice etc. Nicely arranged. Good sized dining room. Nicely decorated with modern furnishings. Nice, welcoming, friendly staff.

Bloody awful!! Can honestly say this is the worse hotel and meal I have ever stopped in!' Meal was Terrible meal disgusting mouldy room!! Don't do it!!!

We both ordered Chicken Tenders for starters which were cooked to perfection! This was followed by a spicy chicken pasta which, although filling, wasn't particularly exciting nor bursting with flavour and was definitely not worth £15! However we also had a tandoori prawn curry that was full of flavour and a great sized portion for your money! The only let down was that the prwans were slightly over cooked.

We ate dinner here last night. Menu choice was not great. We had sirloin steak an upgrade from rump steak. It cost £23.95 for each meal. For that we'd expect something more than steak chips and a few tomatoes. We ordered roasted veg as a side. The chips and veg were burnt. We were offered a mustard dressing. We asked for other sauces but there are none. We had mayo. We did tell the waitress and we were offered a complimentary dessert which was lovely. We won't be dining there again. Poor menu choice and very pricey.

This was the second visit to have the Carvery lots of choice from the starters, Main and desert. Everything cooked beautifully, service excellent, relaxed atmosphere had to book very popular can't fault anything price for the four of us including spirits coffees and wine £80.00 would recommend will go back again

Great staff and nice food but you won't feel heavy leaving as it will empty your wallet for you, however the staff deserve the service charge and a good tip. I always admire people good at their jobs.

About £73 for two of us, three courses with one soft drink each. Service outstanding and the food was really tasty and well presented. We dined on Saturday night at 6pm and booked in advance just in case but not necessary. Nice atmosphere. Only one niggle but not major the cheese cake could have been chilled more, came out a little wobbly. But my partner enjoyed her evening and that's all I'm interested in

First time visit even though I have lived nearby for a while now, the atmosphere is pleasant the menu choice is fairly small but it has what you want I think, the food was very good I had the minute steak and I can recommend the chocolate mousse and the service is very good

Recently ate here with a group of friends. Food was absolutely superb and well worth the price - Under £10 for a freshly made and well sized pizza. A pint of Coke at £3.60 however is absolutely shocking! Was definitely disappointed to see drinks were so disgustingly overpriced, even for a 'pub'! May potentially eat somewhere else next time despite the food being so good with these kind of bar prices. Shame really!

Food was outstanding. Taste amazing and the presentation was beautiful. Staff were very polite and friendly couldnt asked for more. Not the cheapest restaurant but well worth it

Family meal before going back to work / school - meal very good and waitress was lovely. Good value meal

We wouldn't usually book for Christmas Day dinner however this year it was a special birthday for my Father. Arrived at 2.30 pm but felt we were rushed into ordering as soon as we got there. On ordering the drink, the waitress came with a tray and dropped all the drinks over other customers. She went to replace the drinks and spilt the j20 bottle all over myself and son, she was embarrassed and helped a little but went away not replacing any of our drinks!.. After we dried off, we then had to ask a manager to replace the drinks which he did and apologised. A bit later our starters arrived and the waiter dropped my Fathers prawn cocktail, luckily my father caught it but he had prawn cocktail all over his hands! There was no offer of it being replaced! By this time we were feeling doomed but did laugh a bit, other customers were laughing too and said it was table number 13!!!! All I can think is that it was Christmas Day and they had employed inexperienced staff. Food was ok, not really worth the price tbh. And the coffee at the end was served in a mug, not quite hotel or Christmas Day standard. Wouldn't come again and definitely not on Christmas Day. They did knock off a bottle of wine at the end but it was a little late by then, the mood for my Dads special day was lost and very rushed.

We ate here on the feel good Friday deal set menu. We left somewhat disappointed with a number of areas for improvement:-- the food was at best average. Although not an issue for me the portion sizes were quite modest. There was no vegetarian starter on the set menu- the staff seemed very junior and inexperienced for example not knowing what wine was on the menu- what I disliked most was the layout and decor. Having been to restaurants in other village hotels that were characterful, this one looked like it had not been thought about at all. There was not a picture or chandelier to be seen. It felt like a load of tables and chairs and been chucked in a corridor and was completing lacking in atmosphere.

Free glass of prosecco with the deal, though extremely limited choice of meals, nothing that really excited either of us. My boyfriend had the mushrooms to start, he had offered to share before they arrived, however on arrival I could not deprive him, as they were so small! I shared my ribs with him to make up for his lack of food! They were really nice. The mushrooms came with a spicy salsa dip, which had no spice and strongly resembled tinned tomatoes...Mains were lovely, chick pea curry and chicken kiev, very tasty.

We enjoyed a meal here which was included as part of our weekend away at the St David's Village Hotel. We had a range of starters including pate and toast, stuffed mushrooms and sticky ribs, followed by chicken kiev, burgers and salmon. We finished off with crème brulee, chocolate mousse and sorbet. All were delicious leaving us full and not needing more. Worth a visit.

As we were staying at the hotel we gave this a try but it was very expensive for what was on offer. There was also a dog allowed in here which we havent seen on previous years and dont think this should of been allowed with food being served. Dont think i will be visiting again as wasnt impressed

Stayed here on the deal with 2 nights & dinner on first night at the. Verve Grill. Had to wait very long time for food then it was wrong, when it finally arrived right it was very tasty. I could understand if it was busy but only 22 guests were dining but kitchen serve the bar which delays dining room.Verve Grill is the room used for breakfast at the Village Hotel & Spa.

8 of us all had different meals and although the food was okay just don't think there is enough choice or variety. I had a burger and couldn't finish meal as didn't find it particularly tasteful. whilst the others in our party were happy ith what they ordered.

It is good for a quick lunch or snack. I haven't been in the evening but I believe that they have a different menu.

£17 for five small cuts of lamb, 4 carrots, two stalks of asparagus and the show stopper - TWO SPROUT SIZED NEW POTATOES. Take a packed lunch or snacks for your room after.

Had Sunday Lunch here today, the food was outstanding, great selection of starters on the starter buffet (or soup should you want Soup), the meat on the carvery was a great portion of perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned meat of your choice. The vegetables were all completely fresh and very tasty. Make sure you save room for dessert you won't regret it. This absolutely one of the best places to get Sunday dinner around and you definitely will not regret it. (If you are considering the Running Hare or here there is no comparison this is the place to go!!)

We ate here last night whilst staying at the hotel. We were a bit disappointed to start off as the house wine we ordered was not available and some of the dishes had sold out, however we opted for the ribs to start, followed by the cod and thyme chicken and we throughly enjoyed each course. It is a bit on the pricey side but the portion size is good and the dishes were packed with flavour. The only thing we did feel cheated by is the fact that exactly the same wine is available cheaper in the public house next door which is a bit of a con.

Whilst staying in the adjacent hotel for three weeks, I found the food was excellent both for breakfast and dinner however the lack of variety and the cost made way for regular evening visits to other eateries in the area as an average meal of starter, main and bottle of water was £30Staff friendly and welcomingOne bit of advise I can give the management would be to invest in a pull bell to advise the waiters/waitresses that an order is ready rather than the kitchen staff shouting through the serving door

The food was tasty but no variety. Every day was the same. The food is too costly comparing to the quality.

Grabbed a quick bite, sandwiches well made and very tasty, staff attentive and food served pretty quickly

Very welcoming friendly staff comfortable and pleasant surroundings good food, good variety at breakfast

I'm from Barnsley it's brill here nowt like this in the tarn wish I lived here I'd be as fat as a pig because ode eat here all the time it's brill nowt wrong at all so all you people with the negative comments get a life or stop coming here it's brill

We had three courses and there was four of us; decent menu selection but it was quite expensive for what it was - I ordered fritto misto to start which was tasty - prawns really big but the calamari was a bit stringy..I've had better calamari. The chicken lollipops and prawn cocktail starters were good apparently. We ordered burgers for our main and beef stroganoff; again good option and tasty but overpriced. For dessert we ordered creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding - excellent couldn't fault these. Best part of the meal. Wine selection was good but for a bottle of Chablis it was £35..slightly OTT. Overall it was a really nice meal no question but it was very overpriced. We also had an issue with a whopping service charge that was added and the 2 for 1 offer was extremely misleading, they knocked £55 off the bill which makes me wonder whether they were just trying it on.

The restaurant is located in the Village hotel, so is frequented by hoel guests. Staff reception is friendly. There is an average choice of dishes, with most of the standards you will get in UK hotel/restaurants.I had ordered a sirloin steak (the most expensive on the menu), but did not like the skinned fries. So asked for french fries... However they do not serve any non skinned potatoes. When the steak arrived, there were only half a tomato on the plate and 3 leaves of vegetables... The steak itself was of poor quality; tough and old. I asked for a small side salad, as ust a steak was a bit minimalistic (thank you staff for not informing that nothing is served as a side). I had to pay extra though.So in conclusion: only eat here if you have no choice, and skip the sirloin steak.

I attended a family birthday meal today at the carvary here. I have been a few times before but I have to say the standards have slipped very much in that time!The starters are fine small selection of fish dishes or meats or soup.The carvary was terrible!!! There were dried up vegetables that were rock hard and shrivelled. The selection was poor I really did not enjoy it at all and I love a carvary! The dessert selection table has been replaced with a waffle machine and fruit or choc mousse or cheesecake. All in all I felt the food was extremely poor and the restaurant was being cleared away around us as we ate including a waitress clearing lots of unused glasses from our table as we were eating our meal. This with the drink that was spilt on me and my starter all in all a very disappointing evening out for a not so cheap price of £14.95 for your meal.I won't be going back.

Very good selection on menu. Food was delicious and hot. Service was fast and staff extremely helpful

On a deal which included dinner one night breakfast two nights, can't be faulted at all lovely food and really friendly service. Many thanks again village hotels

Like this place. Visited with family for Sunday lunch, loads of choice and really good quality. Very good value and service excellent. Will definitely visit again.

We were in the hotel for a later reunion so need a little food before the event so the Verve was a convenient option. It's got a funny, limited and rather standard menu. I would have had steak but the offering is 300gm only. My salad caprese was poor. It called itself a stack but the mozzarella was stringy, the tomato had not been cored and I got the grand total of one basil leaf. By contrast the cod with chorizo was tasty and just right. There's a decent wine list. The service was friendly but patchy.

Lacking in choice on ala carte menu not enough choice for vegetarians. Staff very good. Prices high for this type of hotel

Such lovely food. Had a three course meal here and was amazing. They did get my order wrong twice but were apologetic and gave me some discount.

Six of us dined here on Friday night and we all enjoyed a very good meal from the set menu. Everything was good quality and serves attractively

Nice and clean but pricey drinks and food. Ideal for a pint but I wouldn't like to spend all evening in here.

We ate breakfast here as part of a package. As a vegetarian I could only eat scrambled egg, fried egg and hash browns from the hot food station which was disappointing, however I did enjoy what I ate.

The Sunday carvery was very disappointing. The food was cold and hard and the meat was very stringy. The wafle maker was removed before we had, had our desserts. The buffet was cleared away without any warming. I have been before when the price was £12.95 but The price has recently gone up to £14.95 and the quality had gone down. I will not be going there again

Booked in advance, easy booking system, friendly staff. Food was great, plenty of choice and was unlimited. Will return next year.

We ate in here for breakfast twice and dinner once. The food is delicious and we were served extremely quickly at dinner. Plenty of room and the staff are so caring and were asking our plans for the weekend.

My husband and I came to The Verve for Sunday lunch.We come on average once a month.This time we found they have changed the presentation slightly and it is much better. Instead of everyone diving into one large dish of food on the starter table there are individual dishes that you help yourself too.The soup is also brought to your table and everything.....maybe it's just my perception.....but it seems just that little bit more hygienic.There is still the brilliant carvery section with plenty of meat and a good selection of vegetables.Well thought out St Davids.We will be back.

Very nice restaurant, reasonably priced and the staff are very professional and courteous. We had a long wait for our main course as they were very busy with a big party but this long wait was acknowledged by the staff and we were offered complimentary drinks. We actually had complimentary deserts instead which were lovely.

From the broad smile and the friendly welcome from the front of house/manager, to the excellent and attentive service, the scrumptious food and the relaxing atmosphere - we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here last night.We visited as a couple and we ordered the fish cake with poached egg and whole grain mustard, and the pate to start. We both had ribs, fries & coleslaw for mains, and the banana & toffee extravaganza for dessert. All of the food was served promptly, hot and tasted yummy.We really can't fault it. Highly recommended.

We had the 5 course Sunday carvery. Don't usually like carveries but this was good. Lots of choice and well cooked food. Staff were efficient and keen to help. Great value.

Really enjoyed the food nice atmosphere lovely staff! Would eat there again if staying over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we use verve grills at village hotels on a regular basis and this one was verry good the service was good staff very freindly and food good same menu as other verves

Ate here with friends after a last minute decision to eat out. Booking over the phone was quick & easy. Restaurant was not too full but even if it had been the room is nicely laid out with plenty of space between tables. The staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. The food is lovely. A varied selection of tasty fresh food and you can eat as much as you want. The price is justified and I think it offers very good value for money. Wasn't my first visit and definately won't be my last.

Had a really nice meal here. Staff are friendly and professional. We where served by Dave who was really helpful and made sure we had a pleasant meal.

Great Bar inside the hotel! A good selection of food to choose from the menu and good size portions too. The bar staff are really friendly and were constantly asking if everything was ok! The food is very reasonably priced and so are the drinks. Sky sports was on whilst we were in there and the atmosphere was good along with music playing in the back ground. Would recommend

Excellent food, a good range on the menu at good prices.Service was excellentWould recommend verve grill

Some hotel restaurants can be lacking in atmosphere but we found the experience pleasant and the food good. Drinks were reasonably priced.

The staff made you feel so welcome, they serve you with tea and coffee. There is a good selection of fruit juices, cereals, pastries, fruit, bread, jams and cooked breakfast.

Food ok but the staff are the best part of this eating experience. Recommend the belly of pork and the grilled salmon was cooked to perfection.

Excellent food and quick service. the staff are good fun and remebered me from my previous stays.No complaints.

If a hotel restaurant attracts "passing trade" and this one does, it must be good and it is. The Verve Grill is a part of a fairly large and very busy hotel but maintains an relaxed ambience with great staff service well prepared and served food.At least 25% of the diners were not residents which says it all

Fantastic food and great service- we were looked after by Daley who is a credit to the hotel. We enjoyed two breakfasts and one dinner in this restaurant.

The carvery is fantastic! Unlike others I've been to this consisted of five courses and you could go back unlimited times. The veg was fresh and cooked to perfection and the salad starters were excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and we're definitely going to be regulars on Sunday now!

a post bank holiday meal outarrived just after 8 and was told to wait on the bar for 10 minutes. we had expected to be fetched to the restaurant when the table was ready but was not so after waiting for 20 minutes.we had pre chosen what we wanted only to find both dishes were off the menumain course (no starters) took >30 minutes to arriveour second choices weren't greatthe 'double' chicken breast was a single breast and it didnt taste as if it had been anywhere near any lemon and thyme and it was dry. the bearnaise sauce was presented in a small cream or mild jug, not a sauce boat so difficult to get out. chips were dry and tasteless.staff were pleasant and faultless but the speed of service could be a lot quicker bearing in mind that it was only a 30 seater restaurant that was open

Enjoyed a meal here from the set menu whilst staying the weekend at the hotel.The starter and dessert were both amazing and the presentation of the dishes was fantastic, the main was a little disappointing, despite presentation still being good, the chicken was a little dry and could have done with some improvement.Fantastic service from the staff however.

Just got back after a lovely meal here. Vey pleasant greeting from Heather on arrival. Although a few things were missing from our meal, Heather made sure that everything was put right without a fuss. Will deinitely be going back soon

Myself and friends were made very welcome on entering the bar area, tom and heather from behind the bar was very polite and guided us through the menu, myself and a friend had the pulled pork it was delicious (recommended by Tom and heather) and the amount was just right, nothing more off putting than I plate full of chips. The service was very prompt, food was lovely and hot, tables were cleared as soon as you were finished and the area was very clean. All in all our visit was delightful and can't wait till next time for another great night, thanks again :)

We enjoyed the carvery meal it was excellent variety they had run out of turkey so the chief did us a chicken fillet and the hot waffle for afters was yummy.

Just been for a meal in the verve grill which was one if not the best meal we have ever had 10 out of 10 many thanks to heather and the rest of the staff very welcoming and friendly really helps when staff are pleasant and helpful would highly recommend

We visited the verve grill in chester on a living social voucher, 2 courses for 19 pound for two with 2 small glasses of wine,the menu was very limited but in the end we had the cheesy garlic flatbread which was very nice and the burger and chips.For the price we paid it was decent value but we had to pay another four pound for our main meal for the voucher went up to 12.50.I was.very suprised when i asked if i could change my wine for beer and it was turned down but i was allowed to change one wine to a coke(suprise suprise).I dont think id rush back here on a voucher or full price food for the local harvester has a better burger at 7 pound than the verves 14.50 burger.

My husband and I went to The Verve last night for a meal to celebrate Valentines Day and chose off the special menu and it was really really good.The staff were brilliant-attentive but not overly so and the restaurant was nicely decorated.The food was hot and beautifully presented. I am very critical about anything not up to par and honestly I could not fault a thing.Well done St Davids-you have certainly got your act together.

Megan was the best waitress we have ever come across, quick service and always with a smile. The menu had a great variety of food whether you wanted a light snack or if you felt starving there is something for everyone.The wine couldn't be ordered per glass it had to be bought by bottle which i found rather off putting.For dessert i had ice cream with hot chocolate sauce which was divine.
