The Nags Head — Restaurant in Wales

We just had the most truly bizarre experience here! ||We walked in as a hungry & thirsty family of 7 and asked the gentleman at the bar if we were ok to eat. He politely said ‘yeah, but I must inform you there will be swearing in here tonight’. I’m still laughing as I write this, we are far from prudish people (I was born and lived in pubs all my life, until I moved out of home, work in a factory and captain a pub football team. I am familiar with Anglo Saxon language alright!) I had to actually ask him to repeat what he said as it was the most bizarre thing I’ve been told by a proprietor of a pub in my life, and didn’t really get what point he was making - ‘there will be swearing in here!’ Retrospectively, the place was quite big and if he wanted our trade, he could’ve easily have sat us away from the booze hounds. ||We saw there were a few men drinking in the bay window on entry, and as grown up people ourselves we made the subconscious decision to go inside. It’s life isn’t it, we were fully aware it was a pub and not a night at the opera. ‘You pay your money, you make your choice’. ||Well, we made our choice. Had we as a family (3 teenagers included, that probably swear more than the 5 blokes nursing pints in there do!) sat down and heard any swearing in a pub we choose to go in, we wouldn’t have batted an eyelid. As it turned out, to be told there ‘will be swearing’, it was clear we weren’t welcome. This place is obviously just a ‘spit and saw dust’ type boozer, and don’t want the trade of families eating out. Ignore the signs and suggestion that they do food, £3 pints is where their business lies. Good luck to them on that, harder way to make a living, from my experience. ||We’ve just happily gone and ordered £150+ of food and drink at a hotel around the corner instead, and we were offered a lovely welcome! And guess what?! We just over heard someone swearing! Oh, can you imagine, we all laughed!!! ||Remember kids…. ‘Pay your money, make your choice’! Spend your £150 where you’re welcome, and that...

Lovely staff/owners but sadly thats as far as it went.The room was never cleaned or replenished i.e. no clean towels or linen, tea and coffee or toilet rolls not replenished. No information given about Wi-Fi or how to check out, poorly stocked bar/restaurant i.e. very low food options available if any, no ice or lime available in the bar on two occasions. The staff were very conficting in what they knew i.e. either didn't know or gave different accounts. As for breakfast we were asked if we wanted it, when we ordered for 2 days we were then informed we had to go to a cafe across the road which was lovely. Room was very basic for a deluxe, no chair, no hair dryer. Does not state that the bar is open until 1am during the week. Could here customers below very clearly with a varied choice of the English language. Do Not know how this property obtained 4 stars. Felt more like a club 18-30 resort. Car park was like a building site with screw and nails on the floor...

We First Went Into The Nags Head A Few Months Ago, Claire Was The Bar Lady On Shift And She Was Fantastic! All The Staff Are Fantastic To Be Honest, Very Friendly, Polite And Helpful. They've Got A Function Room And Outside Seating Area Which Are Both Nice. The Beers Are A Good Price And Although We Have Not Tried The Food It All Looks Lovely When You Pass The Kitchen Area. We Usually Go During The Daytime But Ended Up In There Into The Evening Yesterday And Even Though It Was Busier Then We Normally Like, It Actually Was A Really Good Atmosphere. We Call It Our Yocal Coz Its Our Favourite Pub...
