Harden's survey result
Summary
Sixteenth-century inn ‘the Pant’ (as owners Brunning & Price fondly call it) occupies a substantial, “very comfortable” Victorian property a short drive outside Wrexham; and its conversion has created “a great pub: warm and bustling in the winter, loads of outside space in the summer” and offering a “reliably good beer selection” too. Given its high standards, the odd reporter this year did quibble with the food, but overall this “very busy” destination remains a “favourite year after year”.
Summary
This “cracking pub” – a spacious and rambling sixteenth-century inn from the Brunning & Price group – feels “like having your own country club!”. It’s “very comfortable, with good beers” and “excellent ever-changing food served in generally substantial portions”, plus “warm service and a big garden for the kids to run around in”.
Summary
This sprawling sixteenth-century inn is set in “lovely surroundings” with sweeping lawns and gardens outside Wrexham, and serves “super gastro-pub meals”. Part of the Brunning & Price group, it makes a great place to “break for lunch on the way to North Wales”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Very comfortable, good beers, friendly staff. The food has been a bit up-and-down over the past year or so, but now it seems to be on an "up" again."
