The Packet House — Restaurant in Wales

👍 What’s good

The pub is described by visitors as friendly and welcoming: one reviewer said it was a “great place, lovely people, great beer”.

Convenient location: Mostyn Rd, Greenfield, Holywell — easy to find if you’re in that area.

Good for relaxing: if you’re looking for somewhere to unwind after an outing (for example after your horse-riding, gym, or a chill day), this seems like a solid option. 👎 What to keep in mind / possible improvements

It isn’t gourmet fine dining, but it ticks all the right boxes for a relaxed, local-pub experience. I’d recommend it if you’re in the area and want somewhere uncomplicated and...

Just the packet… 😉

After a Sunday stroll from Holywell to Greenfield, we stumbled onto The Packet House, starving enough to eat the table itself!!

Drinks? They’ve got everything short of bottled Welsh mountain mist, so we got 2 pints of “I’ve earned this.” Then came the roast, plates the size of frisbee’s, with potatoes that could legally be classed as pillows.

By the time we finished, we were so full we considered setting up camp right there. 10 out of 10: come hungry, left as human...

Attended a birthday party here. Great venue for all ages, birthday parties, weddings etc. It has a large outdoor area with ample seating. Good play area for children, a stage and very large TV. Also a large marquee which...
