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 open

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.

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.

Friends stopped for lunch with me whilst on their journey to the West Wales coast. We all had a lovely hot sandwich for lunch and a drink which is all very good value service with a smile and a lovely place. Garden looking particularly good at the moment.

Found this gorgeous, friendly, traditional pub whilst visiting friends. Thanks to the lovely Sue for being so welcoming and accommodating after we got lost our phones died and we still found you. Sue charged our phones up for us and we sat down to a beautiful meal. It’s such a lovely, friendly place with friendly bar staff too. We got chatting to a lovely local couple, Ray and Babs ~it’s always nice meeting nice people. Michael and I really enjoyed our time there and will visit again. Can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks again Sue ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful country pub in a quiet location,staff where lovely and the food was spot on,first time visiting,will definitely be back again
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.

Just popped in as walking by with my dog. This pub has a fabulous garden that's dog friendly. Unfortunately the young lady at the the bar served me without a greeting or a thank you. All she uttered was £5.50 as I tried to view the card machine. Find this kind of service deplorable as doesn't take much effort to have manners at least!
