Wrexham, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“What a revelation!” – “a quality addition to the (fairly sparse) North Shropshire dining scene in fairly simple premises on the high street” – Stuart & Frances Collins’s modern British venture wins nothing but high praise for its “outstanding food”, with the option of an “absolutely fantastic, six-course tasting menu for £45”. “A must!”

“Like having your own country club!” – this handsome sixteenth-century inn with substantial grounds a short drive outside Wrexham is “very comfortable, with friendly staff”. Part of the Brunning & Price group, its cooking is generally found “reliable”, although a couple of repeat visitors reported disappointing trips last year.

Allium chef and restaurateur Mark Ellis was briefly involved with this converted cow shed venture at the Plassey holiday village near Wrexham; he is no longer connected with the restaurant, which continues with Dominic Ash as head chef.
