Really nice place

We popped into the Stamford Gate as we happened to be passing by one Sunday afternoon. When we arrived, the staff were very welcoming and quick to accommodate us despite it being peak time of the day. I haven't been out for a Sunday roast for several months but I must say that this was one of the best roast dinners I have had for a very long time. The beef was cooked perfectly, the Yorkshire pudding was light yet crispy on the outside, and the gravy was simply divine. All complimented with some lovely sides too. I can't fault the food or the service and for that I give it 5 stars. We will be sure to return.

Ideal for refueling just off the A55

I stayed at the Stamford Gate Hotel on the 19th July for business. My surmise of the hotel is that the food was brilliantly cooked! I feel like calling it ?pub grub? is an insult to the chefs! I had a fantastic meal comprising of some Olives and a little bread to start, Gammon steak with egg, chips, peas & charred pineapple for a main and Panna Cotta for a dessert even though it sounds basic it was done to perfection! (The chips were hand cut and amazing) portion size was a positive also. The only grumble I would have is that the service was a little slow but the food more than made up for it and potentially the rooms could do with a little updating/modernising! For those looking to stay I would say it?s a great place just off of the A55 North Wales!

Firstly, the staff we had contact with were great and the 'Full Breakfast' was excellent. Unfortunately just about everything else about our stay fell very short of satisfactory. Although very dated the room looked ok at first glance but soon revealed itself to be anything but. There was a small fridge under a countertop unplugged. The chap showing us the room (seemed like the person in charge) said it just needed plugging in if we wanted to use it. 2nd evening when I came to plug it in there was no socket under the counter and the three single sockets in the room were all out of reach for the very short flex. The bathroom was the main problem. The water pressure - hot and cold - was little more than a trickle. The toilet cistern took ages to refill, you couldn't even hear it filling. To use the shower we had to run the hot water for an eternity (certainly more than five minutes, possibly ten) before it started to warm up. Then the towel rail, which was simply a length of chromed copper pipe was too short for the wall brackets and fell down every time it was touched. We booked a table to host a couple of friends on the first night and there were several points of dissatisfaction for us with the meal. A garlic bread accompanying the Lasagne came with a thick coating of some sauce which looked like a creamy pesto. The menu description made no mention of it and it wouldn't have been chosen had it done so. A Duck meal 'Served Pink' had no pink at all and the 'Panache of Vegetables' it was served with amounted to two thin strips of carrot and one thinner strip of stem broccoli. After a long day out on our second day we returned about 8:30 with making a beeline for the bar plan only to find the place locked up and the bar/public area in darkness. Evidently they close early on Sundays. No mention of it on the website and it wasn't explained to us upon arrival. Breakfast on both days was quiet, evidently there were few guests staying. When I went to check-out and settle the bill the stock question 'hope everything was alright for you?' was asked. I didn't mention the restaurant issues as that had been discussed with staff at the time but did explain our disappointment with the room. The explanation given was interesting. Apparently the rooms 'at this end' were refurbished and 'are amazing but Covid halted the work and the rest haven't been done' to which I suggested that perhaps they should be placing guests in the 'amazing' rooms if they hope ever to see them again. Unfortunately they won't be seeing us again.

Great service and food, we went as a group of 9 (7 adults, 2 children) every single one of us rated the food highly. The beef dinner just melted in your mouth it was really tender and cooked perfectly. Good portion sizes and great value for the quality you get. Will definitely be returning.

Very welcoming staff, nothing too much trouble. Basic, clean and spacious room with tea/coffee and hairdryer available. Food: Breakfast was lovely, very well presented (full breakfast available, cerals and toast/jams) Evening meal: huge portions, great value and very tasty! I had the chicken burger and when I asked what the cheesecake was, chocolate battenberg....love that they made something different, so I went for it! As a person who dines out regularly with travel, and has a sweet tooth ? I would say this is the best cheesecake I've ever had! The explosion of different flavours was amazing!! Also 'diolch' to the young waitress you spotted I spoke Welsh!!

I have been staying with other colleagues, (usually a minimum of five of us each night for the last 4 weeks with one more week to go. The menu has been absolutely fantastic with amazing variety and lots of "specials" each week to try. Food always comes well presented and tastes great. (So good that we were not tempted to try elsewhere as it was so good. It was always a pleasure to return each evening after a long day at work. Service is second to none with a friendly staff and owner. Many thanks to Emma, Manager, Laura, Shannon, Jude, Luke, Julie, Sue, (and new staff, Emily and Paige), for their courteous and friendly service throughout a long stay. We finally met one of the chefs tonight, (not spomething that happens often as chefs tend to stay in the background - Stuart came to chat with us tonight to see if there was anything they could bring back for next week's meals that we particularly enjoyed - that was the hard bit as all meals were amazing! I would definitely recommend this hotel as a lovely place to stay with amazing food and great service - Mathew - you must be a good employer as your staff are all amazing! Thank you for the care taken to ensure we had some relaxation and respite so far from home.(Mari)

I never write reviews but decided to write one after visiting the Stamford Gate for a meal. The food was absolutely perfect for me and my family completely enjoyed it too. I had three courses, even if I had to struggle, it was that good! Starting with the spicy chicken wings with blue cheese dip, they were succulent and a large size, very tasty and just spicy enough. The main course was fillet steak with peppercorn sauce. The sauce was delicious with some really tasty mushrooms on the side, really nice home made chips and the steak was cooked perfectly. For dessert I had something that I can?t remember the name of but it was kind of a version of a Bakewell tart with chantily cream, it was absolutely delicious. It seems to me that the Stamford has decided to compile a menu of what might be regarded as ?pub classics?. Fish & chips, sausage & mash ..etc.. But this isn?t just pub food, if pub food was a car, this would be the Rolls Royce. Service was excellent, lovely place to eat and we waiting just long enough between courses. I will definitely be going back.

We had a family meal here yesterday for my sister in laws 30th. We had pre ordered as it was a large group of around 30 people. Staff at the Stamford Gate were excellent and very attentive. Pre orders we?re all correct and came out in a timely manner. We asked for children?s lasagnes and the chef was able to accommodate this for us which was great as our girls demolished their meals even after the kids halloumi (this was great as a kids starter option too!). Our meals were lovely too and good portions and really good value. Thanks for making it a great experience, can?t wait to return and will definitely recommend.
