"We had a wonderful dining experience at this charming restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the cozy atmosphere made our meal even more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and attentive, contributing to an inviting ambiance. We opted for the three-course menu; my partner chose the beef as his main dish, while I went with the seafood. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend trying this new restaurant—you won’t be disappointed! We can’t wait to return and explore more items on the menu."

"So impressed with The Millstone tonight. The food was excellent as always, but what really made our evening was the fantastic staff. We were there with our children and our grandchildren, so from age 60 to 7 months! Staff couldn't do enough to help and make things perfect for us. They are so thoughtful and kind. All of them full of smiles, warm and friendly, as well as highly efficient. They really made our night and I can't thank them enough. Highly recommend a visit here."

"Having previously enjoyed 2 family meals at the Fox and Grapes earlier this year I hate to leave a negative review. However, on this visit the food was the worst I have been served in a very long time. My son booked a table at the Fox and Grapes over the phone, when we arrived there was no record of our booking, however we were shown to a table. The table was located by a window which was rusty and there was water all over the window sill. It felt cold and damp. It was at least 30 minutes, and after a reminder, that someone came to take our drinks order. We knew that there was a large party in the pub and so accepted this delay. Having waited so long we placed our food order at the same time. I ordered fish and chips having seen another guest eating what looked like a nice meal. When mine eventually arrived it was cooked to a crisp the batter was chewy and the fish tough. Two of our party ordered the Steak and Landlord Pie, this proved to be a small portion of pie with uncooked pastry and only 3 small pieces of meat. My grandson ordered a chicken burger again this was overcooked and he could only eat the edges as the middle was tough. Lastly my husband had the beefburger which he described as gritty! The service, which had previously been a highlight of our visits, was also poor. When paying the £95 bill I did highlight that I was not happy with the standards. The very nice lady behind the bar apologised but no discount was offered, not that it would have helped as the food was so bad, I very much doubt we will return. The next day we had excellent food and service at the the Hawarden Farm Shop."

"I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The service was quick, the food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly. For lunch, I spent around £10–20 per person. I would give the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the Strawberry Milkshake, Waffle Fries, and Doughnut. Plus, there is plenty of parking available."

"The food here was really good. Let down by the service. We had to ask for our drinks after the starter arrived, we had to ask for Toast with the pate the server didn't know if it came with it or not. Roast beef dinner was the best we have had for miles around though. We asked for dessert menus which we then had to ask for again after 15 minutes. We eventually ordered ten minutes or so later, and then decided to get the bill after 20 minutes when the desserts never arrived, we did get soup spoons though as apparently that's all they had. I imagine there were dessert spoons somewhere but it was probably easier to just give soup spoons as it saved them having to leave their chit chat to go and find them. There were a couple of efficient staff behind the bar but the floor staff, of which there were plenty just stood chatting and drinking by the coffee machine ignoring everything that was going on. Such a shame, especially as the food is really good. If you can't offer efficient table service then just adjust your offer so customers can order at the bar. Customers don't mind paying a fair price for good food if the service is good too. Its not hard. It seemed the place wasn't managed tonight maybe it was just a bad day but puts you off a revisit when this is already the second time we have had this experience."
