We took the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor seating area now that some welcomed sun had arrived. We ordered some food. The waiting time was not too long it was probably one of the main times I can ever recall where I've not said "what's taking so long" I thought the food prices were reasonable. The menu options were quite varied which was nice to see. The food tasted excellent.
In terms of negative feedback. I do think the soft drinks were pretty expensive for just a pint of Pepsi and the cost of a J2O for the size of the bottle was unjustified for sure. I did not recall seeing any forms of Sunday dinners on the menu. But I was curious if it was because we had attended during the week and the menu for Sunday roasts is only available at weekends. Or perhaps they don't do Sunday roasts aswell which based on the food taste yesterday I'm sure would have been great. IF however Sunday roasts is available either during the week or weekends I found no trace of advertising of any such meals. So that's a downside.
(Just an update) = Just been back on the website to check the menu and there is a roasts section and I am 100% certain that was not there yesterday because me and my friend both fancied one and didn't find that section.
One final drawback which isn't anyones fault sadly is that whilst we was eating the road traffic was pretty backed up and all the car fumes were ruining the relaxation of outside and unfortunately did taste it whilst eating at times. But since we ate outside and it was sunny it's unavoidable but unfortunate.
What I'd love to see in the future is perhaps a Toby Carvery still menu even if it's only perhaps once or twice a month. Since our nearest Toby Carvery is the other side of Chester. For Plas Coch to capitalise on the need for such a menu and the lovely skills of the chef I have no doubt at all the profitability of this would be welcomed by all.
One thing I think would be good. Since outdoor menus are troublesome with either blowing away or not worth using on days when the weather is no good. I think having a special bulletin board near the red dragon statue would be great for customers to be able to read a full menu whenever they wanted. I also think it's sometimes easier to read a menu on first glance rather than using the website to order.

9 of us visited here for a birthday lunch. We all ordered food and was told the wait was 45 minutes as they had a few orders on. 1 hour and 15 minutes later the food came out. 5 minutes before this we were told they did not have one of the meals and to choose a different meal. Why they didn’t tell us sooner I don’t know, because that person had to wait longer. When the food did come out it was cold, items missing from the meals and veg that had looked like it was kept under the heat lamp for quite some time as it was dry and hard. We had a round a drinks for the wait and the birthday person was offered a free dessert. As we did not want to stay there we declined this and asked for money back. Well the face and attitude of the manager was horrendous. Even the bar staff had attitude. Safe to stay we will NOT be returning again, my partner was so upset and apologised to the guest for the poor service we received. It should have been the manger and staff that apologised. I think we only had 2 half hearted apologies throughout, and they could not care less when we left. Very poor service and I...

It just all seems "average". I had bangers and mash and the gravy seemed watery, the mash was nice and the sausages just didn't feel or toast nice at all. It had those scorched marks on it (which I'm fully away is part of the cooking process). But they tasted like they were burned on and I could taste the burn. The children's spaghetti was weak and though I'm sure it was reheated, this didn't come out well it at all.
The buss Ness didn't bother us at all, the waiting time didn't bother us and even having to push with the baby to use the bathroom, didn't bother us. We'd gone on a match day, so all of that is on us and our choice. The start were really nice and friendly, they were trying thier best with the tools they were given and they smiled throughout and was always polite.
If you look at the chain of pubs "The Lounge" you'll see that big formulaic chains can be of high standard and make good choices.
Plas Coch feels about 10 years behind society as far as pubs go and as I only go in these places for food, I don't think I'll be back at...
