Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

the horsie in the image was not there when we visited. so utterly disappointed. i didn't bring luigi today because he is terrified of horsies and similar equine creatures. but on reflection i should have just sent an email asking for them to remove the...horse for the day, not that it would have been needed >:( i really wanted a ride. the food and service was impeccable and the toilets, oh the toilets where gorgeous. nothing will ever compare to the toilets. of course i had to check out the ladies room too and they where similarly decorated, although they had a different flavour of hand soap.More

We drove around the North Wales coastline trying to find a decent pub for lunch - so many have closed - and stumbled across the Eagle and Child after almost giving up ! It’s a lovely welcoming pub - and clearly popular on Saturday lunchtime....We were lucky that we had a few minutes to order before the kitchen closed at 2.30pm - and our food was served pretty quickly. The fish and chips was certainly tasty with a lovely crisp batter on the fish - if only our chip shop at home could master this ! Overall a very pleasant experience - and no reason why we wouldn’t visit again if we were passing and hungry in the future. Thank you !More

Went today for Sunday lunch. Bit of a journey to get there by following Sat nav but we’ll worth it! The staff were very helpful and efficient, the food was amazing home made and delicious. Portions are enormous with so much meat we took lots...home! We will definitely return thank youMore

We reserved a table for Sunday lunch and all 4 of us opted for the chicken dinner. The portion size was great and the sliced chicken was soft and juicy. There was mash, roast potatoes and new potatoes, homemade Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and cranberry, carrots,...cabbage and green beans. My only criticism would be that there wasn’t enough gravy for my liking and it could have been a tad thicker. I do like my roasts swimming in gravy though!! It’s a lovely place however, the staff are friendly, the views are amazing and we will definitely return to try the other menu.More

Land of my father's is a grand Welsh saying. Unfortunately the land of my wife's father Gweansgor above Prestatyn is far from welcoming, or at least the local village pub is not the most welcoming place. Called in today having been to the churchyard to...pay our respect to my wife's family who rest there The service and welcome were poor and the food average. Why can you not sit on a worn leather sofa to eat a sandwich, why is every table marked has reserved. Why when the pub has 60 covers and there are 10 people in do you have to move 3 times to eat your sandwich. Why do you allow vaping in eating areas. Sorry poor food, poor service, how I wish the saracens head was still openMore

Walked from our local village for afternoon drinks and lunch. We had our dog and knew the place isn’t dog friendly inside so was planning to be outside anyway. Walked inside to order drinks and pick-up a menu but was greeted with the most un-inviting...welcome from lady behind the bar. I thought she may have said something and I missed it so I said is everything ok, I had some sort of acknowledgment but I didn’t feel welcomed at all. I ordered two drinks and didn’t bother with the food menus. As we had a dog with us, I searched for a dog bowl and eventually found one but it was really dirty with no water and no outside tap. I went back inside to the bar where the same lady didn’t engage with me at all. Another young lady behind the bar did serve me and provided me with a tub of water. I’d say it’s the worst welcome I’ve had in any pub or restaurant for some time. Im sure the food would have been nice but we didn’t even give it a try. Very disappointing from one of our local restaurants.More

A great place to have dinner, the food prices are reasonable, where the food is home cooked and served hot. My partner really enjoyed the vegetarian lasagne. The pub is set in a nice location although getting to it by car is not for the...faint hearted if you are not used to Welsh roads. It is quite steep in places. The staff are friendly and pleasant. We would definitely return if we were in the area. At the weekend I would strongly urge you to book, but on our visit they did squeeze us in.More

Standard pub grub at reasonable prices. I had the fish and chips which was fresh and well cooked. All in the group were happy with their meals. Plenty of space inside, clean environment and friendly staff.
