"A wonderful tasting pie with chips."

"The food is really great."
Cons:
"Food was a bit hit and miss if I am being perfectly honest."
"Serve was just ok and had better food else were for cheaper!. Was such a shame as the venue was lovely."
"Did not like the batter (too thick) and thought the portion of fish quite small."
"It was nice but not as good as before. I think the chef was a bit heavy handed with the cajun spices this time."
"Food wasn't the best, fish and chips were soggy and tasteless."
"The food was awful, ordered fish, chips and peas x3 and a steak and ale pie x1... with rock hard batter hardly freshly prepared!"

Dog-Friendly
Pros:
"Very clean and well kept place, I would recommend to everybody and their four-legged fur babies."
"They even have a dog menu."
"The care they take to make sure you and your dog is fed and watered is second to none!!"
"Best surprise was a doggy menu and our dogs loved their sausages from the Dogs Tapas menu."
"The pub has the status of being the most dog friendly in Wales."
"Very much a dog friendly pub with beautiful views of the Llangollen valley."
"Loved this pub, very dog friendly, even have a menu for your fur babies."
Cons:
"Owner does not welcome visitors who just want to drink... Very rude, I suspect it was because we were English."
"It is dog friendly, if you don't like dogs may not be for you."
"Lovely friendly place - but the fact that it is excessively dog friendly is a problem for me. Far too many dogs!"
"The only downside for us was that the Sun Trevor has become a dog theme pub. We have no issues with dogs, but, the sound of ten or more yelping and barking was not our idea of enjoying a relaxing canal side lunch."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The portion sizes were massive, very good value for money."
"Meals and drinks were well priced and good value."

"Big tasty portion sizes at very reasonable prices."
"Food is amazing with big portions."
"Food good quality, not too expensive and generous portions to the point where the fish is almost too big for most appetites."
Cons:
"Little bit pricy for a beer."
"No services and a choice to spend £25 plus in the pub or pay £25 overnight, Very expensive!"
