Wales' poshest Wetherspoons where you can enjoy a cheap night out in beautiful Georgian surroundings

A pub and hotel venue has been described as the "poshest Wetherspoon" in Wales, where you can enjoy a fish and chip meal and a pint for £7. According to Mark Williams, who reviewed Castle Hotel in the town of Ruthin in Denbighshire for North Wales Live, the pub is a "fine-looking Georgian building", which people often mention that it looks "more like a wine bar".

The pub, which dates back to 1730, was originally called the White Lion. The inn was owned by the Myddletons - a very wealthy and prominent family, who ruled a vast estate from Chirk Castle in Wrexham. Their coat of arm features a white lion hence the pub's old name, but the name was changed to Castle Hotel in 1883.
