Dragon's Rest 'Diner'
Caerwys Junction (J31) off A55, near Holywell, Flintshire
The Dragon’s Rest café is an excellent alternative to the MacDonalds which is more visible from the road. It shares its lot with a caravan and camping supplies warehouse, but inside is a different world… A large red dragon sign welcomes you into the idiosyncratic interior, dotted with various models of Draig Coch Cymru around the restaurant along with some film and TV memorabilia and the odd original painting here and there.
The day’s specials are usually good value roasts, listed alongside the usual diner menu of gammon-egg-and-chips, generously filled jacket potatoes, and so on, but the all day breakfast is highly recommended:
Two rashers of good, fairly thick and unshrunk bacon, very fresh poached egg, a hash brown with that ‘home made’ texture, beans, tomatoes, a classic thick sausage, and a round of toast. This was an effective restorative along with refreshing tea served in a white china pot, which easily delivers three cups. A great pit stop for travellers, or breakfast for campers at nearby caravan or tent sites! It may seem busy and full, but places will be found for you after a short wait and then service is methodical and swift.
The children’s menu is also good value and includes the expected sausage breakfast, chicken nuggets, and so on, with a choice of accompaniments including favourites like beans, chips, peas, smiley faces.
