WrecsamGirlParticipantWhy is it that a town of Wrexham’s size doesn’t really have anywhere decent you can go for a bite to eat in the centre? Apart from Black Peppers and the Chinese place opposite or the Wynnstay it’s all pub grub, takeaways or chain restaurants such as Frankie and Benny’s etc. Why no nice Tapas places or an Itallian or a Sushi type place?
Don’t get me wrong I like a chinese or a curry as much as the next person, but sometimes it’s nice to have something different for a change.
Somewhere like The Fat Boar in Mold would be great, proper hearty food cooked on the premises not plastic crap done in a microwave. There’s a real gap in the market for a place like this in Wrexham. Somewhere you can go for a nice meal before going on for drinks in town without having to get a taxi in.

SheefagParticipantWhere have you been? It’s a Pie & Chips Town.
(Not a ‘half chips, half rice’ town – that’s a different meaning entirely)November 24, 2015 at 10:50 am #103649
Rex HamParticipantWrecsamGirl, in my memory, it was always so. For some reason, Wrexham people seem to prefer to eat out of town. I can only recall The Steak and Claret restaurant in Regent House offering what is now called fine dining. From the 1960’s people seemed to prefer places like the Golden Groves, The Cross Lanes, Grosvenor (Pulford and Aldford) to name but a few. I guess because Wrexham has always been a barracks town and the centre a bit ‘er how can I put this nicely, “rough”, people have celebrated their special times away from town. Having said that, when I look around, there is more food choice now than I ever recall.
On a related topic, does anyone remember The Eat Easy restaurant in Queen St? That was a bit radical in it’s day!!

Yes the Eat Easy on the site of the old Talbot was a nice restaurant, especially for the day and for Wrexham! it didn’t last that long though if I remember for reasons as above!!

AKSParticipantIt was run by Charles Roberts who I think had something to do with Wrexham FC.

EosPengwernParticipantI can recommend the Lemon Tree on Rhosddu Road. It’s just on the edge of the town centre, and I’ve only been there at lunchtime on weekdays rather than for evening occasions, but it’s smart and the food is good and I’ve held many business lunches there. You take your life in your hands if you use the car park, though – you need to pull your wing mirrors in to fit between the building and the outside wall.
