Local Pub in The Flintshire Leader

THE Spinning Wheel* in Broughton is a cosy inn offering visitors a warm welcome, home-cooked food and real ale.

The pub, which was built in about 1815, is owned and run by Mike and Maggie Vernon, who bought it 30 years ago.

“We bought it in 1981, before that I think it had been closed for a while,” said Mike. “I do know that it used to be called the Old Hawarden Castle Inn, but it changed its name in the late 70s.”
