"Really poor customer service from the manager in particular."
"On top of this there was a table next to us who were very loud, larey and swearing a lot which I found offensive."
"Pub was reasonably busy but only one person serving behind the bar which meant queues forming."
"The waiter put or food down and didn't ask if we needed anything else and ran off."
"We order from the table, with 'qr-code)... 32min for the drink and 1h20min for the food."
"Instead of acting like any other manager would do and apologise and advise they would sort it right away, she became very defensive."
Ambiance and Cleanliness
Pros:
"Ventured there from across town, warm and welcoming atmosphere."
"Clean and warm place to socialise and have a drink."

"Whether you are popping in for a quick drink ...meeting friends for a coffee or having a meal ( the menu is great) this pub is a fabulous place to be...very welcoming and friendly....."
"Nice pub with a nice garden out the front, I've been here a few times but never been that satisfied with the food, I would have expected it to be a little better than what it is, other than that a perfect place for meeting up and having a few drinks."
"The Holyhead is quite a large pub, but inside it is laid out with some areas that are small and cosy, there is also an open fire, which adds character to the layout."
"Love the range of drinks on offer and the atmosphere within The Holyhead is second to none - cosy, warm and inviting."
Cons:
"Like all pubs at the moment lacking atmosphere, didn't help with TV on with football."
"The tables were disgustingly lacking in being cleaned."
"So unhappy about the staff not wearing any masks! There are still covid and other variants about and not protecting other around!"
"To top it off I put my reg for car park in the machine and have now had a fine of £85 come through from euro car parts."
"The pub is really nice but the food was very poor."
"Toilets were a disgrace."
"The closer it gets to 6pm, the rowdier the crowd gets and turns the atmosphere into what seems like the last days of sodom."
