The Drovers Arms dates back to the 15th Century and as the name suggest it was built as a resting place for drovers as they drove their animals from Anglesey through Rhewl down to London.
The landlords are now Sion and Sam Roberts who took the pub over in September 2020 - clearly not the best time to take over a pub.
However, in a short space of time they and their enthusiastic staff have developed The Drovers into a very popular local restaurant and pub offering wonderful food at reasonable prices.
They are both local people and set up home in Rhewl over 20 years ago. Sion hasn't moved far as he was born and brought up in the old station house, which is just down the road from the pub.
They have recently won Newcomers of The Year in the JW Lees Pub of The Year awards and would like to thank their staff for all their hard work, which has helped them win such a prestigious award.
A warm welcome is extended to all.

Such a lovely lunch today with my grand daughter and her fella. Brilliant food and lovely staff. Thank you.
A warm welcome into a lovely toasty pub. You can't beat a real fire on a cold November night. The mixed grill is above and beyond!! Highly recommended 🩵
Not been here in a while - what with Covid, landlord change etc. It was brilliant here tonight. Great staff. All the food was spot on, good portions and the staff were very friendly. Definitely going back.
We had our anniversary meal at the Drovers and from the second we walked in the door the experience was amazing. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who had read my note asking for a quiet table. The service was wonderful. We had starters, mains, desserts and coffee. The food was so delicious. Although I'm not a vegetarian I went for the veggie options. Deep fried halloumi with a chilli jam. Lovely. The dish it sat on could have been a bit bigger as you do get good portions. I followed with a veggie curry made with seasonal veg. So delicious and then don't ask me how I had room but I had a banana split for dessert and coffee. My husband had the whitebait for starter. I'm not a fish fan but he loved it. Then he had a beef and veg pie filled with lots of tasty beef. He had dessert but I was so busy eating my own I couldn't tell you what he had. The service, the food, the ambience were amazing. To top it off the bill only came to £68. We had beer in that too. I highly recommend the Drovers.. We will definitely be going back. I would suggest booking in advance as it is so good you might not get a table otherwise. My compliments to the chef and all the staff for making our evening perfect.
Spot on place for lunch. Lunch only on Fri -Sunday. Food lovely and great staff
