The Corn Mill

If this atmospheric, and utterly appealing, pub/restaurant isn't situated in the most beautiful location in the UK, then please tell me what I'm missing. Go in the winter, and settle into one of the warm old-world spaces (with properly solid tables and chairs) with a decent pint of beer and a hot meal in front of you or, better still, in summer when the decking area outside, perched over the fast-running River Dee sweeping underneath, gives way to views of the ruined medieval Welsh castle (Castell Dinas Bran) looming mysteriously over the town. There's even the original fully-operational water wheel running at the side of the pub (someone should convert it to produce electricity, and sell the excess back to the national grid) and for the kids (in season) views across river to an authentically steam-driven Thomas the Tank Engine chugging out of Llangollen station. The bar is friendly, service is quick, the food is lovely, the prices are more than reasonable. The management don't know who the hell I am, and I haven't got shares in the brewery. Frankly, it's just perfect. And I didn't even get to mention the ducks . . .

Took forever and was mediocre at best, and the cost of the starter (which came with the entree!) at 8 pound for just one fritter ball was ridiculous

We loved this restaurant right on the River Dee. Great service, although a bit slow but nothing unusual for the UK. Delicious burger. Great atmosphere, multi level and lots of rooms and decks filled with interesting photos and such. Would definitely return

Lovely location right above the river. Nicely done inside and the food was excellent. Mushroom pie for me, and all others enjoyed theirs. Service was efficient and friendly. Well done

We had a large party of eight people including a toddler. The service could not have been more attentive. Food was tasty and came pretty fast. I know this is a touristy area, but this was not touristy food. It was very nice. Will visit again, next trip.

Extremely large dishes- could easily share a meal! Great food excellent location it is a little pricey but you are paying for the view! Would recommend to get there before 6pm to nab a seat on the deck outside :)

Been to this pub a number of times . Its in a totally unique position overlooking the very beautiful river Dee . In fact its actually over the river Dee if you sit out on the balcony by the water wheel wonderful on a hot summers day . The pub sells a range of real ales and a good range of food but both whilst quality are a bit rich in price .

The food here is _amazing_. Quite possibly the best I've had in the UK. And the setting is fantastic sitting right on the river with the old water wheel.

An absolutely amazing pub and definitely worth going to. The food is amazing, the view is awesome and the atmosphere is wonderful. We wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for yelp as it is down a tiny road near the river in an old Corn Mill.
The food was so big and so tasty and was very affordable as well.
I highly recommend going here even if you are just stopping off on a drive south like we were.

caThe food at the Corn Mill is fabulous: large portions cooked and presented very well, at a price which, though not cheap, is par for the course. Add to this a stunning location and a wide selection of real ales, wines & spirits, and this could easily be a five-star gastropub. However, it's let down by two-star service: our meal took 40 minutes to arrive, the serving staff seemed stresses & overworked, they forgot the cutlery, offered condiments to an adjacent table but not to us, and then charged us another table's tab at the end of the evening. The Corn Mill is well worth a visit, but allow plenty of time & check the bill carefully!

Absolutely fantastic place to go for food, always had amazing food here and never had reason to complain :-)
