Croes Howell Restaurant & Bar in Wrecsam

Ah, Croes Howell – it's one of those places in Wrexham that I've heard mixed things about, and from what I've gathered from chatting around, it's got that warm, community vibe with a nice mix of old-school charm and modern touches, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening. What really stands out is how family-oriented it is; they've got an outdoor play area and a bouncy castle that keeps the kids entertained, and the staff seem to genuinely care, like going above and beyond for anyone with allergies – that's always a plus in my book. The food can be a winner too, especially if you're opting for something simple like a well-cooked steak or that triple meat Sunday lunch; when it's on form, it's just lovely and hits the spot. But honestly, it's not all smooth sailing – I've heard tales of disappointing meals where dishes were sent back because they were inedible, and that can really put a dampener on things, particularly when you're paying a bit more than you'd expect. Service has been a bit inconsistent as well, with some folks waiting ages for their food even when the place isn't busy, which is frustrating if you're out for a quick bite. Overall, it's worth a visit if you're in the area and fancy a go, especially with the family, but maybe keep your expectations in check and perhaps book ahead to avoid any hitches – it's got potential, but like any spot, it's got its rough edges.
