Aubrey Arms in Powys

Visiting family from Hastings. We all had the carvery and omg it was lovely! The staff were super friendly. The guy serving the meat was very helpful and made sure we had what we wanted. The gravy was the best ever!!!! Thank you

Just returned from a meal with friends at the Aubrey ,what a disappointment .My wife and I ordered two rib eye steaks both medium to well done , with no blood which she wrote down both came with blood running from them called waitress and she apologised and took them back to the chef in the meantime we ate a few of the chips which were not cooked enough. Our steaks returned and seemed ok but when we got to the middle of the steaks they were still raw so we left them, when they collected the plates we told the waitress about our steaks and she said the chef was new and she would tell him . We will not be going here again

We had a beautiful meal, the staff were very helpful and keen to please us. It was busy for a Thursday, but not loud or overwhelming

Very average indeed. Wasn't the best meal I have had and would recommend other restaurants in the area over this. I eat better meals at home. Food wasn't disgusting but just not great! Went as a table of 6 and we all thought the same. Service was very good though I have to say. Was very disappointed and won't be going back.

Fabulous food..every time we go there.. especially the ribs

Food is sometimes over cooked and is a bit mid. Otherwise pay for what you get

Stunning food again, even though very busy with mothers day, staff were amazing. X

Gorgeous food, reasonable cost. Lovey staff will definitely return

Nice pub and food service very poor

Lovely resultant, I have never had a bad meal here and it’s also a great place to drink. Staff are great and very helpful, service is has always been relatively fast in my experience.

Sunday dinner is lovely. Served as a carvery you get served the meat and you pick everything else you want. Service was great and for what you pay it exceeds expectation. This was our 4th or 5th visit and we would definitely visit again.

Beautiful meal last night.. Great welcome and excellent service throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend.

Wonderful food, staff were excellent. Definite 5 stars

First time here and on business wasn’t that hungry but I had the starter and it was really good ! The pork was melting in my mouth and the sauce was divine ! The salad had the most unusual vinaigrette but combine with the taste of the pork sauce was excellent

We came for a Sunday dinner before which was amazing, everyone said the ribs are just as good so went back on Valentine’s Day! Honestly the nicest ribs we’ve ever had! Couldn’t fault the food or service! The manager and waitress (didn’t get her name) were so friendly and had a laugh with them! Can’t wait to go back for the ribs again! Thank you all for making our valentines really special!

A good choice for Sunday lunch, great food, friendly and efficient service and all at a reasonable price. Winner!

Kalum knows how to run a good pub. Nice food and service.

Gorgeous food Brilliant staff Highly recommend 5⭐

Excellent food, great service and very fast this is the best carvery I’ve been too very well organised. If I could find a fault is that the mint sauce was a bit too runny for me but other than that the food was nice and hot generous portions of meat and the gravy was amazing we will definitely be back and would recommend eating here. I found it to be very reasonably priced.

Best carvery I have ever had. Not 1mm surgically cut nuts of meat, proper roasties, real gravy, fantastic setting, amazing staff, why has it taken me so long to discover this little Gem! Warning - food coma highly likely!

The food and all the staff were outstanding. Thank you all.

Excellent lunch today, plenty of veg meat and gravy, desserts were lovely as well, will be back.

We booked Christmas day lunch ...what a disaster waited almost 3 hours for our main course (was booked in at 12.30) staff were lovely but rushed off their feet!

This place is a must go to! The food and service are second to none. I can't wait to go back there again.

Beautiful food and fab staff, only thing I didn't like was the fact there were quite a lot of people crammed into the bar area. Constantly pulling your chair in to let people pass. Maybe that's something that can be looked into.

Brilliant sized portions of very tasty food and even though it was busy when we arrived the food was ready very quickly. The FOH staff seemed a little inexperienced but still did their jobs well.

My mother was ill, explained over the phone and arranged a takeaway. They were very helpful and understanding, thanks

Large dog friendly pub with very friendly, helpful and attentive staff. You can have your meals in the bar area which are the dog friendly area. The TV could be turned down a bit in the bar area. For beer, I'd recommend the Atlantic Pale Ale. Carvery offered up a huge selection. The meat was tasty and tender with crispy spuds & yorkies and a lovely gravy. They also offer a vegetarian option with a nut roast & it's own accompanying vegetarian gravy, the nut roast was absolutely huge.

First time for Christmas meal with the family, very nice food and attentive service! Friendly and very helpful staff! Food was very tasty and cooked lovely.

Went for Christmas Dinner, arrived 12.30 and left 3.30 taking desserts with us, when we asked why it was so slow we were told its a dining experience, proberly short for no staff, no music so not at all festive, they did give us a bottle of beer as we entered but no soft drink for children or car drivers, first 2 course's were lovely but the carvery was cold (luckily gravy was hot) turkey and beef was over cooked and dry but by this time over 2hrs 30minutes after arriving it was just a relief to have food, sorry a bit long but when you spend £500 you expect more.

Outstanding quality Christmas dinner, the duck intermediate course is particularly worth a mention. Well spaced courses with no rush at all, would highly recommend. Had to have desserts to take away as couldn’t eat another thing! Thank you

Me and the family come for food today and it was absolutely brilliant. Starters was like a main (ha) all food was cooked perfectly and hot and was great value for money!! We will definitely be coming again in the new year.

Food was good, very generous portions, staff seemed rushed off their feet, ordered a chicken and a mushroom starter. Only had 1 mushroom starter, asked for other starter, but was brought another mushroom starter. Kind of disappointed, but couldn't wait any longer for another starter. Good food and happy with most aspects, just a little disappointed with the communication in service.

Came here after being told that the food was excellent.... well Sunday carvery was ok meat choice pork,gammon,turkey and beef..veg ,the usual... not boiling hot just warm..lacking flavour needed salt but all in all ok, for us 2x carvery 2x coke 2x dessert just shy of £45 so a little bit steep for a middle of the road meal..the place itself is quite busy with the carpark filling up quickly we were sat in the extension so had to walk through the narrow corridor to the carvery itself in the main building.. the big question..would I return?? ... not for a while, as there are a few places closer which serve as good food if not better for the same sort of price

I went to the Aubrey Arms last night as a group of 13. The staff were fantastic and very welcoming. The food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait long before it was brought out. As a big group we all had different orders from the menu, and we all enjoyed the food. I’d definitely go back and I’d definitely recommend them to others.

It's a live little food pub perfect thanks

Find was really lovely and the staff were well mannerd and polught I'd recommend to others as I thoughrely enjoyed

First visit, very impressed and will definitely be returning soon .

Fantastic food. Lovely restaurant

Really good food, good service. Accessible for all abilities. Even though they were full there was not too much noise. Card or cash taken. Large car park.

Lovely Sunday lunch carvery. Meats cooked to perfection and veg piping hot. Couldn't fault it. We particularly enjoyed the chocolate fudge cake! Update: Return visit today. Everything was just as perfect as the first visit. Would definitely recommend you to visit. Update 2: our third visit for Sunday lunch and everything was as perfect as before. Couldn't fault it!

Collected a take away at busy time but staff very friendly and helpful intending to return

First time at this venue for Sunday carvery. Food was lovely and service was almost faultless.

Nice atmosphere, staff very friendly but could have more choice of menu's.

Called in and ended up with 2 big parties held so will need to go again

Great atmosphere to watch the rugby although the TV signal is poor. Food was tasty and drinks reasonably priced when we went. Live band which was a bonus and the music was pretty good!

Went to celibate both my stepdaughters birthdays,all the meals were perfect,service as excellent.my son in law was called out on an emergency,the staff kept his and his wife’s food warm until he returned,ang gave them fresh fries,nothing was too much trouble,highly recommended.

One of the best pubs in Ystradgynlais, especiallyfor food. But then, the competition is not exactly 'fierce' in Ystrad. 😂 The staff were very helpful and kind, some of the best I've experienced. The food was good, but the portion sizes are...American. I wouldn't recommend a starter no matter how hungry you are. People just aren't designed to eat that much.

What a little gem of a find. Very friendly, polite and welcoming staff. The food was good, hot and fresh. Thankyou, we will be back

Excellent service and good food always

The food and the service was exceptional. Definately a place we will be going again.

Fantastic service and fantastic food.

Excellent food, too much food on plate

Food was very greasy and had no flavour. Was all about big portions, wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t so bland and greasy. Don’t bother.

we love the take away ribs or sunday lunch, always great as its only round the corner we find it convenient, call to order then pick up at the specified time

lovely staff and food was delicious… manager was very friendly and helpful when booking us for Christmas Dinner!

Great food. Not cheap but you certainly get your money's worth.

Absolute beautiful food. Can't wait to go back and try different food on the menu. Beef ends in BBQ sauce 🤤

Real nice place with excellent staff service

Always had a great meal, very disappointed with the cost of the ribs today, my husband and I always share full size rack of ribs with homemade chips, £19-95 = 10 ribs we used to have much more than that in the past, obviously it’s the cost of living now, we love the ribs but now it would be too expensive for us.

A lovely evening trying out the ribs and they were fantastic. Definitely the best ribs we have had! Unfortunately the coffee machine was not working but huge cups of tea were a nice surprise. The staff were really friendly and too the time to make sure we were happy.

Famous for its ribs. They were good in all fairness. Service was ok. Everyone enjoyed their evening. Would I go back. Probably so and maybe try other things on the menu

Very disappointed. Waited ages for menus, drinks, people coming after got drinks before us. Waited another age to place order to there were ni burgers( that was what we both wanted. Mediocre food , so noisy between staff re-arranging furniture and making clanging noises in the kitchen so we couldn’t hear ourselves let alone each other. Pepsi undrinkable, coffee poor, charged for cappuccino despite having a black coffee- dangerous cups it was served in. All in all not a pleasant dining experience, won’t be back

Heard so much about the rochard ribs and I wasn't disappointed what so ever,hubby had steak ,"perfect"

Surprise meal for my daughter's 40th bday. Staff esp young man in charge fab. Party changed food choices so many times as meals were served to others. Cannot fault food/quality/value for money. Well worth 100+ mile round trip

Ribs are amazing! Never had a bad meal. Always my go to. If anyone ever asks where to eat around Ystradgynlais, the aubery is always my recommendation to them. 10/10.

I ordered Xmas dinner for take away. The staff very friendly and efficient. Food was packed in containers and ready to be collected at the time we were given. The dinners were amazing . Best roast dinners we have had. Would highly recommend

Booked a table at a certain time for a reason but waited 45 minutes whilst takeouts took a priority. The meat was cold and the vegetables had been boiled with an inch of its life! Tasteless! Hardly any gravy and found two hairs in my...

Shame about this restaurant, i really wanted to like it, but we were put in the bar near 3 very noisy fruit machines, we asked if we could move, they put us right near a speaker next to where they were setting up the evenings...

A cracking meal with excellent and cheerful service. Highly recommend the Aubrey to all. Really nice meal.

Came for recommended sunday lunch Awful meal Meat was pulled beef pulled ham not sliced No taste to vegetables Very dissappointed as highly recommended but will not be coming here again

We were in the area so we booked in for lunch. Met with a smile and shown to our table. Our drinks order was taken while we looked at the menu, choices were made and we all sat back in anticipation. Our meals arrived, my...

I wouldn’t ever leave bad review on food as there’s usually something people like especially with a family of 5 however the food was terrible and everyone including kids didn’t eat there mains food …for the prices charged you would expect food of a lot...

My friend and I booked for lunch here. I’d been before and had had their famous ribs. At the time I thought the ribs were moist and tasty but I wasn’t that fussed on the bbq sauce preferring the sauce you get in a Chinese...

Couldn't think of a better place to celebrate my 60th birthday family meal. There was 30 of us, food was absolutely amazing,as was the staff . Everything was spot on. Thankyou.

Staff were unwelcoming , slammed drinks down. Didn’t even explain there was no ice , how can you not have ice at a pub? Warm drinks was not what we expected , running low on napkins I think we shared 3 between 9 people. Cutlery...

The sunday lunch was awful. The staff were rude and unwelcoming. Anything we asked for was literally slammed onto the table. Would definitely not recommend

Staff here are rude and couldn’t care less. Waited over half hour to be served after being seated then another half hour to order desserts after finishing. The two blonde girls who work here are so rude and standoffish, really made my Mum feel uncomfortable...

waited over 50 minutes for our food which is all prepared and ready for serving as it is a carvery on sundays when i asked the waitress how long before we can expect our food as we had 4 children with us the gave a...

The team managed to find us a table for 5 even though they were busy, great place for food and drinks

I have visited a few times can’t get enough of the ribs. Small menu but tasty food. Not very big inside so book ahead

We booked a few weeks ago, on arrival we were not seated in the restaurant but in the bar area This had no atmosphere and was cold. Local workers were sat having a pint and chatting loudly using the f*** word a lot. This was...

The 3 is all about the service, apparently keeping up to date on your socials was more important to the waitress than serving us. Food was outstanding, chips were like Mam used to make, if service had been good, this would have been a 5

Came here with a gang of 7, we were all amazed by the customer service and the welcome we had on the 16/10/21. All of my friends said they were pleased by the welcome and the way the staff just wanted to help us. Food...

From the outside this pub looks so inviting. Never judge a book by its cover. The staff are slovenly and disinterested spending all of their time checking in on their social media. The entrance is more akin to a social club and the food is...

Superb food, the service has always been good for such a use restaurant. The chefs are top class and very personable. I think I’ve tried everything on the menu now. Recommend the ribs and the Sunday lunch

Come for a friends 30th and food was nice and most the staff was polite apart from one rude waitress with blond hair that was rude from the start and just seemed like I was a bother to her for asking for a drink after...

I believe you can’t rate a restaurant just by one visit. Been coming here for several years now and I can’t speak highly enough of this place. Service is first class, staff are very friendly and helpful (can’t do enough for you). From a person...

Hubby and I were visiting specifically to try their ribs. Parking was difficult but we eventually found a space. Table was good service was excellent. One of us ordered the prawns and the other the calamari and we shared both dishes as a starter. Prawns...

went on Friday 6/8/21 cracking meal all round 4 of us good service plenty of staff only negative they got a partition in the centre of the room for the life of me i cant see why makes restaurant look like truck stop cafe they...

Visited as been recommended but was a bit disappointed, average dinner really. Service was very good & quick & price was ok but wouldn’t return

Takeaway Sunday lunch a joke. Queued for 30 mins to be told no more food. This after being told just 5 mins before queuing on the phone to bring a plate. Very hungry family and too late to book anywhere else

We sat down at our table, women came over and asked what we wanted for drinks (didn’t have a drinks menu) then she said what do you want for food (didn’t even have a menu) had to look online. What I wanted (mixed grill) didn’t...

Locals are so friendly. It’s a pub home from home. And a great for a Sunday lunch. Would recommend booking though as it’s that popular with locals

Went tonight with my partner and daughter.. Didn't make a booking, and they were fully booked but managed to fit us in. Lovely staff and the food was outstanding. The best lasagne I think I've ever tasted. We will definitely be visiting again.

The food is absolutely stunning here and it’s a very cosy place to eat. The staff are lovely too! Definitely recommend to anyone staying locally or people who live around the area.

We ate at the Pub a couple of days ago Great service , food is really lovely, home cooked , big portions. Overall really good. I would definitely recommend

We went for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious, great selection of carvery meats with plenty of delicious veg & plenty of gravy, good value for money & we’d definitely visit again.

Due to the current climate we were unable to hold a public wake for my father. However this restaurant went above and beyond and delivered a pre booked meal to my mothers house so we could have a family wake. The food was immense. These...

The lunch was good, Garlic Chicken was tender and tasty, salad nice and chips were crispy. Lasagne was quite good, very cheesy and came with a good salad and would have been monstrous if we'd had the chips that came with it. The carvery looked...
