The Boat Inn - Ox cheek croquettes

The Boat Inn

The Boat is afloat !!…read more Nestled right up alongside the River Dee and recently reopened, the Boat has lost none of its charm or ambiance. I like the fact that they support the community around the area by buying their Beer and Produce locally whenever possible. Records date an Alehouse here right back to the 13th century and the interior decor reflects how the building has grown through the centuries.Lots of Oak beams and stone floors add buckets of character. You can choose one of the quiet corners for privacy or park up in one of the larger open areas and banter away or, weather permitting, take a table outside. Called in for lunch the other day and the menu, although not extensive, has everything for feeding all tastes from a wake-up morning coffee (open at 11am) to a refreshing pint of ale and home baked pie, or spend an easy evening with a fondue and some warm torn bread washed down with a pint of locally brewed traditional free house Cask Ale. They also have an excellent choice of Wines should you fancy a change. Once you have had your fill then ease down that food and drink by taking a riverside country walk!! The scenery is stunning. The great thing about 'The Boat' is that is a place for all seasons. When the weather is warm you can sit alongside the river and watch folk fishing for Trout, Salmon and Eel and may even catch a glimpse of the Otters who live on the opposite bank. When colder weather arrives you walk through the door to be welcomed by open log fires, and feel like you are home. Turning up here on a snowy Winters afternoon is a Dickensian delight. Word of warning - double check your directions before you set out as the Boat Inn is off the beaten track at the end of a long winding lane. ..... Maybe it should be called The One Way Inn ?

What a secret little haven The Boat Inn is! It's only about 10 minutes from our house, but we…read moreliterally stumbled across it on one of our daily jaunts around the countryside. And what a lucky day for us! Charming snug of a place, the open fires, low ceilings and original beams transport you back to a simpler time. The staff is wonderfully warm and welcoming, with excellent food to back it up. A combination of traditional pub food and higher-end "gastro-pub" fare, you really can't go wrong here. And the portions are impressive-- beware if you're ordering a starter and main. You may not have room for their excellent desserts! Ample seating inside and out-- can't wait for warmer weather to sit outside at the picnic tables alongside the River Dee. The best inside seating is in the original building as opposed to the more modern conservatory (though it depends on your taste). Bookings are not necessary, but if you want a seat by the fire, definitely call ahead!

Ok so let's get this out there first, yeah I'm a yank and I drove up to Wrexham because of Rob and…read moreRyan buying the football team. Well with that out of the way, after a day walking around the town, visiting the Turf and looking in at the Stadium...I wanted to get a nice pub dinner. I was looking for some other place that turned out the be closed, and then rounded a corner and saw the Nags Head. Earlier in the day I tried to get a Guiness at The Turf, but they had run out, probably because they had a game the night before and the taps were drained. The Nags Head had my dark gold in a glass. They also had a wonderful Chicken pie with peas and roast potatoes. Just a perfect pub dinner. The place seemed to be filled with happy locals, probably a bunch who were tired of seeing american tourists like me taking up space in their favorite pub. It's ok guys, I'm home now so you can get your seat back. The Nags head was a wonderful pub in a nice Wales town that is having a moment in the limelight....enjoy it folks, it probably won't last.

I like the Nags Head a lot. It has a more welcoming atmosphere than most of the other pubs in town,…read moreit is very clean and does some good value food. There's a mixed clientele ranging from youngsters on their way into town to older people drinking their pension away. Its not the most child friendly place and when my one year old daughter had a good shout in there it was made clear that she wasn't welcome. But that's fine, not every pub has to be a family pub. The Nags head does two quiz nights a week and hosts a folk night upstairs every fortnight. One of the few places in Wrexham where you can hear live music. Worth a visit.
