"Visited Sat 23rd Dec 23, first thing to say is young lady behind the bar and young waitress serving us were eabsolutely lovely. Ordered a rump steak for myself and Mexican chicken burger for my wife. My steak arrived and was so tough not only could I not eat it, I couldn’t even cut it with a steak knife! The onion rings were so overcooked they shattered when I cut into them, peppercorn sauce was obviously from a packet and full of MSG, chips were delicious! When the older “head waitress” asked if everything was ok I said no it wasn’t, that my steak was tough as old boots, she said wasn’t it cooked to my liking and i showed her you couldn’t cut it with a steak knife, she offered to “change it” I said no thanks I didn’t want to wait for a replacement to be cooked. I have eaten hundreds of steaks, I know rump is not the tenderest of cuts but should at least be edible. She said she would let the chef know. I’m sure this lady is an institution in the place but obviously not employed for her sunny disposition, scintillating personality or people skills in general! Anyway I left 90% of my meal. My wife chicken burger thing was tasteless and had the consistency of cardboard! The prices were very reasonable but obviously achieved by using poor quality ingredients and management who care little about customer satisfaction. When my wife went to pay our bill, there was no apology or reduction, in fact throughout the whole process we never heard the word “ sorry” although disgusted with the “head waitress’s attitude, having had a particularly stressful week at work, she couldn’t be bothered haggling so paid the bill in full and left. We will never visit again and actively discourage anyone else from doing so."

"Save your money. Order from elsewhere. Trust me! We ordered a take away from here for our anniversary meal on sunday eve. We’ve lived in Wales for 5yrs now and have never ordered an indian take away as I have yet to see a decent...consistant review from any of them. However, I had seen someone praising the food from here on facebook so we thought let’s give it a try. How sorry we were!! We were starving and looking forward to our food. When it arrived, my mrs dished it out. Straight away she said the sheesh kebabs looked anemic, they looked pale like they hadn’t been cooked long enough and been cooked a while ago and reheated. We also ordered two kormas. I’m not sure what the hell the curry was but it tasted absolutely nothing like a korma. It literally had no taste at all, nothing! How is that even possible?! It was runny like water. The pieces of chicken were small. The naan bread was stone cold, chicken tikka wings were black like burnt on the outside but pinkish in the middle and cold. The only decent thing there were the meat samosas. My mrs rung them up to complain to be told that other people had ordered kormas and they’d had no complaints. As my mrs said to him, we aren’t concerned what other people think, only concerned about the dismal ‘food’ in front of us. We weren’t asking for a refund, just a replacement. He said that’s fine, so we gave him the order again. For him to then say that’ll be £39 please madam!! He actually wanted us to pay AGAIN for a replacement. The take away we had was £40, £29 with Uber discount code. So he expected us to pay just short of £69 on take away. When asking for a manager he said there wasn’t one there so my mrs told him to ho ring one. Eventually he did. He them came back and said his manager said ok to replacement for free. If we go collect it and bring the other food back. Which we were happy to do as we had only had a mouthful of curry and a bite of the starters. This time we opted for chicken tikka massala as he said the korma would be exactly the same as we had. He said this wasn’t spicy/hot as my mrs has stomach issues. Got back home, dished up again. Soon as we laid eyes on the ‘tikka massala’ we knew it wasn’t right. It was watery and looked like no other massala we’d ever seen before. We tried it, same again. Absolutely no taste at all. Just a hell of a lot of spice/heat. It was disgusting. Chicken tikka wings, pinkish inside still. Naan looked burnt on the edges, again samosas fine. At this point we decided there was no point ringing back because he refused a refund and their food is obviously no good at all. So we binned it and my mrs had a bowl of special K and I had a pasty. That was our anniversary meal! We complained to Uber about the concerning undercooked sheesh kebab and chicken wings and weird curry and got a £19.97 refund thanfully. So we only lost £10 on the take away. After my mrs was telling the girls in work they all said oh no you didn’t order from there did you?! So obviously known for being awful. I had the stomach from hell the next day from the food I had eaten to try it. Having lived in greater manchester for many many years we have had a hell of a lot if indian take aways. We have never had a bad one until we moved here and tried the Millbanks food. For all them saying it was excellent and are going back again. I question their taste buds. Literally Icelands microwave currys are a million times better than their food and a heck of a lot cheaper. Do yourself a massive favour. Save your money and get a pizza or chinese from somewhere. You will regret ordering from here."

"I first reviewed the Kinmel Arms on a hot summer day in August 2016, when we had our meal in the sunshine outside when we were first exploring the possibility of moving into the area. No such sunshine when, having lived here three years, we...went again today on a bleak chill autumn day with a threat of rain! And we've also been to the Kinmel a couple of times subsequently, prior to our visit today, though I didn't review those later visits on this site. Our impression on our first visit was positive: pretty standard pub grub', but well presented and quickly served by friendly staff at a very reasonable price. I was less taken with the place on the second visit; the menu seemed less varied than previously and those was only one main course that really tempted me. And the service felt a bit perfunctory, though the meal which I chose was well cooked and tasty. On the third visit the menu had bucked up and I'd no complaints! The advantage which the Kinmel offers is that it's virtually the only country pub at least that I know of in this part of the eastern side of Dyffryn Clwyd which serves lunches each day. Most rural locals' hereabouts either don't open at lunchtime or, if they do, they don't serve meals. So when we decided today to have lunch out without going too far from home, the Kinmel was the sole option. Since our earlier visits the menu has got noticeably pricier, but in fairness it's also been noticeably enhanced. There are still some pub grub' options, but today there were a number of more out-of-the-ordinary options too. We both began with the soup of the day, broccoli and stilton, which was absolutely delicious, both in flavour and texture. And partridge, which neither of us had ever tried before, was on offer in a couple of main courses. So I went for the partridge casserole with asparagus spears and potato, while my other half chose Thai-style red partridge curry. Both totally delicious and very filling, so we had no room for a sweet! We paid £34, including drinks. Well worth it, and, as it's less than two miles from us, we'll certainly be going again."
