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!

We went here on our trip a couple years ago and we loved it. My family friends are from Wrexham so…read morethe night we arrived, after they had gotten us some fish and chips, we went out here for some drinks. Since it was our first time in the UK it was a great start to our trip. The outside of the building is exactly what an American hopes to visit in the UK. It is in an old building with a thatched roof and it looks like it has been there for an eternity. The drink selection was great and by drinks I of course mean beer and cider because what else would you get from a pub? We sat in the back corner and were able to have a good time before we were on to the next pub. A couple days later before we went on a drive through the Welsh countryside we stopped in here to get some breakfast. We got a traditional English breakfast and for those that have not been luck enough to try it, it is amazing. It is more food than you could possibly eat for only a couple pounds. Hash browns, bakes beans, toast, eggs, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.. Since we were with our local friends the owner came and spoke with us. He was very nice and we loved it there. We will be returning during our next trip to Wales.

It is highly distinctive as the only surviving thatched-roof property in Wrexham. When we walked by it, we had to stop in! Happily it looks like it hasn't changed much over the years. Apparently it is the combination of 3 cottages that have been combined over the years. It was definitely the most authentic pub we've been in so far and Rachel, the barkeep, was fun and friendly. Cheers!

It was as if they didn't want our custom, though we were the only people in the place when we got there. We have 2 party members that suffer from food intolerance, needing special dietary requirements and it was treated as an inconvenience to check which meals were suitable! The wait for what was effectively mostly pub grub was pretty lengthy. When the food eventually arrived, it was actually delicious, and the chef was charming! This alone was enough to redeem the place to four stars. So, in summary: great, tasty food at reasonable prices but some serious attention to customer service and welcome from the management required. Five stars for the food & chef, minus two for the welcome / rudeness. Bonus star for free WiFi!

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.

The staff are friendly, so are the locals. They charge prices so tiny you think you've miss heard them. And then you think they've miscounted your change.

It might not be as busy then, but they still have bands on and you can play a game of pool if you want. Like it here. Must come back and drink more beer with the folks.
