The Royal Oak - Wrexham

Went for a lovely meal here had the pie was delicious and a very generous portion. Olivia is very welcoming, polite and friendly. Beautiful view of the river, be stunning on a sunny day.

Been a while in reviewing this central pub, friendly pub, not a lot of draft beers, barmaid draws cocks in your guinness though

I 'm sorry to say, the service was very poor. As far as I could see there were only 2 other tables occupied, but it took 1.5 hours for our food to arrive. After passing a little comment to the waiter, I asked how long desert would take and was told don 't worry, I 'll make sure it comes straight out to you . My friends desert arrived fairly promptly, but nothing for me. The waiter told the chef and she went to get it. 20 minutes later it arrived. Bread and butter pudding, but it was smothered with the type of red sauce you get on an icecream, Disgusting. I am sorry, but I will not be frequenting The Royal Oak again.

Visited over the August bank holiday weekend (Sunday afternoon) and although it was quiet in town there were a few in here making plenty of noise so we ventured in. We got served quickly and the lady serving was very polite and friendly. We ordered a pint and a glass of wine and were quite shocked when it came to almost £12. More so because it was the third pub we had been in and everywhere else on the high street was between £7-9 for a similar order. We didn't stop for another drink.

Why is it all Joules pubs are so good? This one certainly does not disappoint apart from the understandable 4:00 pm opening on a Thursday afternoon. Only the two cask ales on today but the Blonde ale is such an easy drinker. Well worth a visit if only to read up about the history of the place a truly impressive building.
