Verve Grill - Flintshire

For a large chain hotel, I wasn’t expecting a restaurant which is a sports bar. It had a very intimidating vibe for both nights of my stay, full of football fans and not a place I’d like to visit alone. Due to the Village’s lack of phones in rooms, you must go to the bar to order your room service (app system hasn’t worked the 4 times I’ve stayed at Village Hotels) Poor food and no vegetarian mains on offer, only salads and a burger from the “grill” section. Will avoid village hotels from here on.

My daughter had been for a meal last year and said it was poor but the bar and grill had not long been open. Giving it the benefit of the doubt we went earlier this evening and wish we hadn't, dreadful meal, will not be going back.

Booked a table for Saturday night. This is not a restaurant but a bar and grill type of dining experience. The noise was horrendous, couldn’t here ourselves think never mind talk to each other. If you want a nice relaxing place to eat where you can talk as a couple this is certainly not the place. Saying that the food was delicious.

Lovely bar area and food ok but i feel compelled to write this review due to the smell of the toilets The smell is overpowering and reminds me of an underpass or filthy public toilets . The whole place is being refurbished so maybe aren’t bothering to maintain the toilets but the smell entering the corridor to the toilets is overpowering and off putting Wouldn’t visit again until work completed

This place is like Freddie Karno's Circus. It is chaotic. Firstly our ribs arrived looking like they had been microwaved. Tough, anemic and poor sauce. We sent them back and had them removed from the bill. The waitress apologized. My wife's teriyaki salmon was nice and my burger would have been if the chips weren't stone cold. I sent them to be replaced and the waitress apologized again. We had to find another waitress to get more drinks as ours had disappeared for a while. We chose deserts. My wife's was fine but when I asked if the Chocolate fudge cake was hot and was told it was, it arrived cold.The waitress apologized again. I sent it back to come back lukewarm. I just eat it as every time it took ages to find the waitress who was permanently busy even thought it was Monday night and the restaurant wasn't full. I would have asked for a reduction has I not had a discounted voucher. It is no wonder pub chains like Brunning and Price thrive against amateurish competition like this. I won't be going again
