Polly's Social, Mold

POPULAR craft beer brewery business has recently opened up a restaurant and taproom in Mold. Polly's Social is located at the Daniel Owen precinct in the town centre.

Owner of Polly's Brew Company, Sean Wheldon has lived in and around Mold his whole life. Sean launched the company aged 25, from his grandad's farm stable and the brewery was named after his horse, Polly.

The craft beer company has come on leaps and bounds over the years, rapidly growing from humble beginnings of brewing on the farm to reinforcing their position as the highest rated brewery in Wales.

They are also among the highest rated in the UK as a whole, and their beer has been sold in Marks and Spencer.

The open plan taproom has become a destination taproom for their loyal legion of fans who have been chomping at the bit for a venue to enjoy Polly's closest to the source. The venue has a bold, shiny, modern, industrial look with televisions on the wall, which show off the Polly's brewing process.

The tables are a mix between communal or more private seating for the antisocial, such as myself. Behind us, there was a huge logo of Polly's Social on the wall with framed art prints of Polly's craft design labels on the opposite side.

Polly's Social has about 23 beers on tap, including five hand pulled options, as well as in-house roasted coffee and a line of spirits and wine.
