Thought that it would have gone by now as this place was so popular in it's time.         $dins$        Z**         $good$

A wet pub somewhere close to the ThreeTowns.   The mrs cannot remember the name.   :D

I think it may be The Sportsmans Arms on Denbigh Moor.

Your Mrs may be correct Yorkie but you're not.      ;D

If only she could remember it's name though!

It's so well known that I can't be too economical with the clues but needless to say some of the forum members must have been there sometime but not perhaps when it looked like it does in my photo

Some more clues.     It's an old building in N Wales but it's not in Anglesey or Gwynedd,  hope that helps.   ???

I can still remember going there for Chicken rough, Scampi in the basket and the Smorgasbord meals in the 1960's and 1970's      $dins$

There weren't that many places doing those meals then so that must narrow the field down.     I suppose it's only easy is you know it or you've been there.         ZXZ

East of the River Clwyd and in the 1970's this was the place to be.       $walesflag$

It's a typical old village with a Church nearby and the pub used to be open 365 days a year.   I wonder if they had a feast there on the 26th December each year?

I suspect that you may have been the only Forum member ever to have frequented it, Hugo!   ZXZ  I just can't think where it might be.

Well done you've got the St Stephen's clue but you've hedged your bets again Steve.    What's the name of the pub and where is it?     $walesflag$

Spot on Steve.    It's the Dinorben Arms at Bodfari.      &well&

I had a walk in that area on Wednesday and was sorry to see the state that the pub is in nowadays.    It went into administration about 2004 and the last I heard about it was that planning permission had been applied for to develop the site and car park.
The terraced car park that was once immaculate is now just a mess like the pub itself.    It reminded me of the Penmorfa Hotel in Llandudno and what Anwyl did to the site.

Dave,  I can't believe that you've never frequented the Dinorben Arms.     :o      &shake&
