A carvery at the Maesgwyn Hall in Wrexham, which sells out every weekend, has left a diner feeling guilty after piling his plate high. The pub, located next to Wrexham's famous football ground, reopened under the Fat Boar chain after closing during the pandemic.
The reviewer paid £15 for an adult carvery, with options for children at £9 and a mega plate at £19. He chose pork and gammon, while his wife opted for beef and turkey. The trimmings included Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, mash, stuffing, carrots, honey-glazed parsnips, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, greens, and pigs in blankets.
The beef was served pink, the turkey succulent, and the gammon moist and tender. The stuffing was crispy on the outside and soft inside, while the red cabbage had a sweet and sour jam texture. However, the Yorkshire puddings were chewy and the roast potatoes dry. The cauliflower cheese was praised for its bronzed cheese sauce.
The reviewer admitted his eyes were bigger than his stomach, struggling to finish the mountain of food. He noted that booking via Messenger is essential to guarantee a table at the often-sold-out event.
