Blas Clwyd Cafe - Denbighshire

I’ve been here several times over the years. I’ve always found the food great and the service pleasant. My kids love it also.

Me and my family came to have dinner and were shocked by the low standard. The cafe’s aesthetic can best be described as “hospital canteen” and is reminiscent of getting a coffee while waiting for your mum’s test results. Solemn to say the least. When ordering we requested certain veg (red cabbage for example) be removed from the order only to be told that the “chef” at the cafe chooses what goes on the plate in terms of veg and he may or may not adhere to what we asked, I can honestly say I have never heard of that before in my life, maybe if this place was a high-end gourmet restaurant it is to be expected, but it most certainly is not. We were handed filthy glasses and were met to sit on sticky chairs that physically pulled my T-shirt back a little every time I lent forward. The food itself was less than ideal, apart from the meat, which was genuinely very good, the gravy was bland and flavourless, the “roasties” were undercooked and like I said earlier, my plate was covered in red cabbage which I specifically asked for none of. Seems the “chef” not only picks and chooses what veg he puts on your plate, but will load on whatever vegetables you specifically asked to have none of. To wrap, this was thoroughly unpleasant in all aspects apart from the Turkey and the customer service (everyone was quite pleasant), might I recommend a new look, new menu and new cooking staff? Because this may have been one of the least pleasant dining experiences of my life.

Blas Clwyd Cafe offers excellent home cooked food that hits the spot. My wife and I went today, she had the minted lamb hotpot and i Beef Mushroom pie. Both served with chips and peas and a hot drink of your choice for just under a tenner. The food and service was great, and by the look of it we weren’t the only people who appreciate the cafe as the place was busy. Desserts looked nice but we had no room for those.

We go almost every Sunday. Have done for years. Enjoy the roast dinners but cannot understand why they carve the meat so badly (much too thick). Makes eating it really difficult. Otherwise geat. Service good. Everyone very helpful snd friendly

I called ahead to reserve a table for afternoon tea, and the young lady who answered the phone was very accommodating and friendly. She made sure to ask about any allergies we may have. I believe the same young lady served us on Wednesday afternoon, and she was delightful! She was attentive and pleasant. Our food was delivered without any allergens and was delicious. This is definitely the best afternoon tea in town. We were even given boxes to take home the leftovers, which we are still enjoying. This was our second visit, and we will definitely be returning for a third. Thank you to everyone, especially our waitress.
