Pant Yr Ochan - Wrexham

I booked for 10 at 7 on a Sunday but was moved to 7.30 to suit the restaurant. When we arrived we were told that we had 10 minutes to order or would not be served. Service throughout was rude and dismissive and we could hear the staff at the bar complaining about customers. The clear impression was that they were desperate to go home and resented the presence of customers requiring them to work. Although the food was reasonably nice we were not able to enjoy it because of the atmosphere.

Fabulous night ! Booked meal with friends who travelled from Manchester. We’ve had a couple of meals here and it never disappoints. The restaurant and bar are run by the nicest and most helpful staff and the food is delicious. We will be returning and we most definitely recommend! On a helpful note , probably best to book a table as always very busy !

We find the restaurant is so HIT and MISS that we wonder why we keep on returning. On our most recent visit, the menu was limited and the only dish that appealed was fish and chips! We were somewhat amazed by how much prices have generally risen whilst the quality of the food has decreased . It’s a real shame that this is what we’re now experiencing at The Pant and at other Brunning and Price restaurants.

Haven’t visited this place for a long while and unfortunately after our experience I won’t be rushing to return. Such a shame as previously had really good times here. We arrived and the staff on the bar were to be fair very helpful and saw to us straight away, we informed them we had a table booked and she took us straight through, telling us we could place an order for drinks at the table and that it would be table service. They didn’t actually come to take our drinks order for over 20 minutes. Finally took our drink order and then had another 25 minute wait until the drinks arrived! In this time we had placed our food order and it was only that I asked the waiter taking the food order where our drinks were that he went to check. Otherwise, who knows how long we would have waited! Water was requested and arrived room temperature with red hot glasses straight out of the dishwasher, the result being Luke warm table water. No ice was offered. The food was VERY slow to arrive, we only ordered one course but we waited 50 minutes from ordering to the food actually arriving. And when it did it was Luke warm, and tasteless. I had the lentil and mushroom tagliatelle which was a tiny portion at a whopping £16, Luke warm and with absolutely no flavour at all. The other main ordered was nut roast, which looked nice however the feedback was that the nut roast was like packet sage and onion stuffing mix with some nuts sprinkled on top. Unfortunately we won’t be returning. Food was overpriced, Luke warm, small portions, long waiting times and seriously bland. Someone needs to buy them some herbs and spices and get some depth of flavour in those dishes!

We love this pub, we live within walking distance, but had a disappointing experience for Sunday lunch. We were shown to our table by a guy from the bar, young guy. Then we didn't get any service for 15 minutes while we wanted to order food and drink so I ordered myself from the bar. The bar manager apologized for this. We had our starters (nice) but when the server, a young woman cleared our plates, she didn't ask if we needed another drink so I was back to the bar again to order my own drinks while my main course was going cold, really poor service. The food quality was then under the microscope, undercooked veg and pathetically thin sliced roast beef, come on The Pant not good enough by half
