The Boat, Erbistock

Set on the banks of the River Dee in Erbistock near Wrexham, The Boat at Erbistock is one of those places that perfectly balances traditional country pub charm with beautifully executed, modern cooking.

We recommend their pan-fried sea bass with lobster bisque, their Keralan mango and tamarind seafood curry, and their velvet chocolate torte with cherries.

Every dish felt vibrant, seasonal and beautifully presented without being overcomplicated. Add in the stunning riverside setting and it's easy to see why this place has become such a popup destination.
