The Aqueduct Inn — Restaurant in Llangollen Rural

Shocking and costly disappointment! By the ratings people with the title 'Local Guide' must get different treatment! With no welcome or atmosphere and so much wrong it couldn't really be put down to an off night! Asked to order an hour ahead as 'it's just a family run restaurant and everything is freshly cooked' - from what the group were given it seemed that meant freshly cooked having been freshly defrosted. Two tough steaks were grey and seemed to have been boiled - presumably microwaved or put on to cook before fully defrosted so they'd steamed instead of being griddled / fried. Two chips and very small portions of poor quality scampi would have been passable in a cafe for half the price. Two seabass with daupinoise-like garlic potatoes were nicely cooked and once the incongruous large carrots, grilled tomato and bed of shredded cabbage were set aside were a fine effort as far as pub food by a home cook goes - unfortunately everything was priced for the quality you'd get from a competent chef in a restaurant so all our expectations were unfounded. A shame for a potentially...

Croesco from the Aquaduct Inn. We went there at lunchtime today, we ordered 2 pints of Cheshire Cat, my friend asked the old lady behind the bar 'is it OK for dogs to come in?' she looked straight through him with a face like a Welsh Dragon, didn't acknowledge the question and carried on doing what she was doing........must be that famous Welsh hospitality we hear about! a member of staff visibly rolled their eyes at the non response...obviously not the first time!! Whilst pulling our pints when she was ready, I heard the old lady behind the bar mutter something to another member of staff about the glasses she was using for our drinks as being 'Minging' ...hmmmm. The 'Cat' was below average and when served in 'Minging' glasses it really brought out the Hoppiness...Yum. We won't be going back and I'd advise you not to bother, and just so the old lady behind the bar knows who I am, I am the person that when politely putting our 'Minging' glasses back on the bar said 'I'll be sure to write a review for you' We left as quckly as we could..., ...

What a fantastic pit stop! The Aqueduct Inn is an absolute gem for hungry travelers, especially if you’re exploring the stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. We stopped in for a bite and were blown away—not just by the food, but by the jaw-dropping view!

My husband went for the double cheeseburger and it hit the spot—juicy, cheesy, and delicious. My son and I shared a pepperoni pizza and wow, this thing was HUGE! Definitely not a solo mission—bring a friend or come hungry. Crispy crust, generous toppings, and loads of melty cheese. Perfect combo.

But the real showstopper? That GORGEOUS view of the world-famous aqueduct. It’s like eating lunch with a postcard in front of you. Honestly, it’s STELLAR. Great food, friendly staff, and a view you’ll never forget. Don’t miss this spot—it’s a slice of local flavor with a side of UNESCO...
