The Delph Bar and Restaurant — Restaurant in Wales

Sadly, this is not a venue if you eat meat, prefer home-cooked food or expect value for money. We booked for Sunday lunch. On arrival, the pub staff were busy dealing with customers attending a community event. Consequently, we had to join a queue at the bar to order drinks and to place our food order for four. We were in no particular hurry but after thirty minutes our meals had yet to arrive. However, burgers were served to an adjacent table and we were surprised by how small they appeared. We overheard the resulting voices of disappointment and felt relieved that we had each ordered the more traditional, Sunday roast. Our meals did eventually arrive. But, oh dear! I had ordered the belly pork but the 'meat' consisted of two, three-inch slivers of the thinnest possible, fatty, insipid and questionable bacon(??). In total, this amounted to less than a mouthful. I gave it to our dog. And the roast beef was equally diminutive and lacking in taste. But let's be generous - hats off to the person capable of carving any meat that thinly! Unfortunately, in addition, the roast chicken proved bland, over-cooked and chewy. We were each served the same (defrosted/microwaved?) watery vegetables. These included a tasteless sloppiness of what we assumed had once been carrots and three small pieces of roast potato forlornly swimming in a sea of water mixed with an anaemic, flavourless gravy. To be fair, the red cabbage could be tasted, the plates were hot and our male server was a friendly soul. But we were taken aback that any chef would permit meals of such poor, substandard quality ever to leave their kitchen. We did not stay for dessert but drove home and made ourselves a tasty omelette with fresh ingredients. We love our pub Sunday lunches. Over the years, some have proved a joy, others, admittedly, less so. Regrettably, our Sunday lunch at the Delph proved, by some margin, to be the most disappointing. A venue to be...

We organised a suprise 30th birthday party at the Delph but in fact surprised all our guests that we got married that day.

We met with James a few months before the event and he was absolutely brilliant, we just knew as soon as we met him we wanted to work with him. He is the most down to earth, caring and considerate man I've ever met.

We didn't want to tell a venue because we were concerned that they would increase prices if they knew it was a wedding. But that was not the case with James, in fact the opposite. He was so excited to help out with the big suprise when we told him. He organised for beautiful centrepieces to be made, chairs, plates, napkins etc etc and he made the room look absolutely beautiful, better than I could have ever imagined. Not only that he was willing to work with us within our budget.

The night could not have gone better. James bless him was running around before we arrived to make sure everyone was inside. Everyone told us afterwards how stressed he looked to make sure everything run smoothly. James agreed to announce us coming into the room "with a little twist to todays proceedings, I give to you Mr and Mrs Rush". This will forever stay in my memory and is probably my fondest moment of the whole evening. Watching everyone's reaction back on video afterwards is amazing and that is all thanks to James.

Throughout the evening the food was amazing, the service was great, staff are so attentive and fast, nobody had to wait for anything and everyone has said afterwards how much of an amazing venue it is. People travelled from all over the UK from Scotland, Derby, Manchester and they all said it was the best wedding they've ever been to.

I could write so much more but I'll leave it there.

From the bottom of my heart...

Today we hired the restaurant for my sisters baby shower and I could not be happier with the service we received! From the moment I booked this venue the lovely Nicola was emailing me all the details and things the delph could provide to me, speedy responses to every possible question I had, we had quite a lot of people attending so we had to complete a pre order for our food which was easy and straight forward, we arrived early to decorate and the staff couldn’t do enough for us with rearranging the room and helping us make it perfect, then when we arrived back to the venue to begin our celebration the team gave us a good amount of time to settle into the restaurant which we had private for the occasion, they then began bringing out our food which was absolutely divine and left ample time in between courses for baby shower games and chit chat, they honestly could not do enough for us and this was all on the day the venue was celebrating their 3rd birthday so had an awful lot going on themselves! They had a family fun day going on outside and it was a great atmosphere and the kids which attended really enjoyed all the activities the venue had going on. I could not recommend this place enough, we will be back! Exceeded all of our expectations and such a lovely team. Thank...
