Pubs:(From Fanzone)
The Turf Hotel (01978 261484)
This hotel is located by the ground. It welcomes families but obviously it gets rather busy on matchdays.
The Beeches Inn
This pub is located on Chester Road, Gresford (01978 855065). It's a large family pub on the Wrexham bypass, and has come highly recommended by a local.
Black Lion Inn
Martin has e-mailed us, and says "I wouldn't recommend the Black Lion in Buckley as it has a reputation for unprovoked violence." Sounds like one to be avoided!
The Plas Coch
Dean Williams has e-mailed us, and says "This is an excellent pub, situated next to Homebase and less than a 5 minute walk from the Racecourse. Always a good friendly atmosphere, Highly Recommended."
