No sea view like promised in my £140 a night room. Child sized bed in room and small bathroom. Also found a sweet under my bed and the host was a bit dramatic at times.

It's been many years since I last visited the Griffin. The pub of my youth. Now completely renovated to a high standard. The food was excellent and the beer vastly improved! Very pleasant staff made the visit worthwhile despite the sad occasion.

Family of 9 visited for Sunday lunch. All the classics on the menu, food hot and plentiful Friendly staff and lovely clean place with large garden for the kids to play. A real treat!

This use to be our preferred choice for a local meal. However we have been put off because of the frosty nature of one of the staff there, the lady in charge? Seems to be a concurrent theme with other reviewers as well. This is a shame as her attitude is detrimental to the business. Perhaps she needs to take a trip to the Drovers Arms for some training. This is a shames as other than that this is a lovely place for a meal. The other staff are great and very welcoming. So I'm not sure what's going on here? 🤔

First time dining here after they reopened and it was excellent. Great new layout, it was cosy but not too crowded. Everyone on our table cleaned their plates. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly. Will be returning if I'm ever in North Wales again for sure.

Having moved into the area earlier this year,we thought we would have a good walk with our two small dogs to The Griffin Inn.We ordered a pint of cider each,whilst my better half and I decided what to order from the lunchtime menu.They stop serving at 3pm for food so we just ordered our Steak & Blue Cheese Ciabatta with salad, coleslaw & crisps in time.(£12)The staff were very polite and friendly also providing our thirsty dogs with fresh water and a dog biscuit while we sat outside in the sun.The toilets and pub inside are very clean and nicely decorated!The only negative was that dogs are not allowed indoors at The Griffin, which is a shame when the weather is not as warm as today.Plenty of people and their dogs were enjoying their lunch and a drink in the beer garden.Perhaps the owner doesn't need that extra business in the winter months from diners with their well behaved pooches.The food was very enjoyable,so next time we will call in the evening (after 5pm menu).A lovely 45 min walk to The Griffin is really worth it on a nice day like today.We will be visiting again very soon.

Had a great 3 nights here whilst working. Fantastic breakfast - zero grease, high quality ingredients and well cooked. Friendly staff and lovely spacious rooms. Nothing too much trouble. Restaurant orders finish a bit early at about 8 so keep that in your plans.

Absolutely fabulous. Beautifully decorated and set out, with food to match. Really enjoyed our lunch. A local cheese ploughman’s and the locally sourced meat platter topped off with a local pint. Highly recommend.

Excellent service great food nice country pub feel, I can't wait to go in winter when the log burner is lit.

Very clean and lovely decor. Dogs allowed in the garden but no water supplied for them. Food not served until 5pm so a bit disappointed as we was only informed after purchasing drinks.

Lovely place to stay. Highly recommended. Service was fantastic and the rooms furnished to a very high specification. Would 100% visit again.

We went there Saturday 20th May. The 3 of us had fish and chips (perfect and tartare sauce best i have ever tasted) pea risotto with aspargus (perfect) and i had gammon, again perfect. We were at the Griffin 4 months ago and it was 3/5, now 5/5. Chef either got better or, i suspect, someone new. Also top marks to very young, but lovely staff.

Fabulous local hostelry run by an amazing team. Offers something for everyone, great food, great atmosphere, just an all-round great community public house. 10/10

Amazing food and the staff where really friendly nice tea before we headed up moel famau for our night time adventure and camp 🏕

Great food ,excellent service with nice staff. Shame it shuts so early on a Sunday

Nicely refurbished, a lovely pint, friendly staff. A good place to finish a walk.

Only ever eaten here but the it is clean and tidy with great service and tasty food

Excellent meal. Lovely food, fantastic service. Really enjoyed it.

No sea views, tiny double bed in a room not big enough to swing a cat in. Owners petty, small minded, rude and over dramatic. Even found a half chewed sweet under my bed! Disgusting place. Only worth £10 a night and that's if the seventh circle of hell isn't available.

Went for an early lunch, wonderful country pub feel, immaculate presentation and clean. no expense spared. has to be the best inn i have had the pleasure to eat in. food was hot and tasty. highly recommended.

Went to the Griffin for lunch for the first time in many many years... I was very impressed with how it'd been revamped! The food was incredible! The Staff are fantastic! The interior of the Griffin looks amazing! Will definitely be coming back again soon!

Lunch with my life drawing group, good range of food nicely presented and reasonably priced

Lovely pub, have spent a lot of time & money renovating it. Much more welcoming than it used to be decor wise. Great open plan. Great use of outdoor space. Food was lovely & very reasonable price. Lovely staff. Had a bad pint & think (manager) came out to apologise. Changed barrel & ale was fine. Very impressed. Will certainly be back, highly recommended.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch in the pub. Service was nice and friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Fantastic recently refurbished village pub. Nice atmosphere and a good range of drinks, and great food.

Found a sweet in my room,staff were very grumpy and they got like very historical,I found very OTT,very overpriced,clearly aren't passionate with these circumstances and even said they didn't mean to buy the pub,also no sea view,Also were undeserved Four in a bed winners

There is everything to like about the Griffin Inn. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable. This room had so much to enjoy: A huge bathtub; a spacious standing shower with glass doors; really appreciated the amenities, including coffee, tea and water. Such small details make a big impression. As beautiful as the setting was, it was the staff that really made it a worthwhile place to stay-especially Sian the owner, who went far and above the normal service that you would expect from a small public house. A shout out to Saffie, Julie, Rosie, and Alison all very friendly staff. Next time we are in the area, we will absolutely stay at The Griffin Inn and I recommend it to anyone visiting Ruthin. 🌸

My friend and I had a lovely lunch, food was excellent, especially the trifle, quick, efficient service and very pleasant staff. Will definitely come again. Warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Really nice place. Had our evening meal here two days in a row. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Great pub food and nice local beers. Would definitely visit again if in the area 👍🏻

Ok pub.winner of four in a bed.Does not allow dogs inside so not much good on cold days if you have a dog. Only 3 stars food hygiene rating but we had crispy beef on salad and it was delicious

Dined here for lunch today , I had crispy beef salad with a chilli sauce and my husband had beef, onion and blue cheese ciabatta served with salad and crips. Both dishes were excellent. The salad was so fresh and the beef very tender. The lady waiting-on was very friendly & efficient. Great place for a relaxing lunch, will definitely be returning soon!

Just been to the Griffin Inn with my partner and her brother and wife. Absolutely wonderful meal and staff only too willing to help. Pleasant family atmosphere, menu a little limited but beautifully cooked and presented. Will certainly be going back again when visiting

Went tonight from having a busy day in work...ordered burger and steak .as normal consistent 'great food. Great service with Alison the waitress .tentative. always checking everythink was ok .I must say this is one of the best restaurants around and the ambiance is so chillin to relax and enjoy great food Thankyou to all the team at the griffin

Went to Griffin for lunch for first time. Small selection but really nice food. Had beef sandwich with blue cheese and salad Delicious!! It was a real thick piece of beef, I'd expected a thin slice. Can't wait to go again

Had a fantastic 3 course meal. Very nicely decorated inside, feels newly done and modern. Great evening.

Called for late lunch after getting desperate for something to eat & they were very accommodating. Food & drinks very reasonably priced compared to other places we tried during our stay in the area. Most places seemed to have increased their prices now they are able to open once again & the customers end up paying but not at the Griffin.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Lovely atmosphere and decor and great staff. Went for the first time today and will be going again without a doubt. Highly recommended.

Lovely family meal. Chicken risotto and burger were tasty. Kids enjoyed their burger and macaroni cheese. Puddings were such a treat. Outside space for kids to run around. Great to support this local pub.

Absolutely beautiful decor, feels so welcoming stepping inside for the first time. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, the food was absolutely amazing, me and my partner were fully satisfied when we left and will 100% be returning. The outside area is definitely one of my favourite areas it's very inviting and relaxing, you can tell a lot of passion and love has been given into the building and outside areas to make sure everyone has an amazing experience. Loved it and would highly recommend stopping by.
