Black Mountain Lodge Restaurant in Powys

We stopped here to break up a long journey. Straight away it seemed very unwelcoming. My son is autistic, and because he seemed more comfortable in the corner section we asked to move tables. We were advised that was the dog friendly section, and obviously we would move if needed, it was quiet at the time, but this seem like an inconvenience to move tables. Then when my son was wandering in the pub, this seemed to annoy a couple of guests, and I know he seemed hyperactive but these are some of his autistic traits, this seemed to annoy one couple in particular, where the man was making very rude comments ( I know you have no control over who comes into your pub) but overall it just felt very unwelcoming in there. Are kids not allowed in here? It didn't seem like it. We come past this pub often, so we will not be stopping here again.

We dropped in without booking hoping to get lunch. I was with my friend and her disabled dad. They were able to offer us a table and from the start the experience was excellent. The staff member ( I think it was the Manager) came out to the car park to see if we needed any help with the wheelchair. We were promptly seated and drinks and food order taken quickly. All members of staff were polite and friendly. The food came in a good waiting time and we were all really pleased with the food. I had an ultimate burger, my friend a Thai beef dish and her dad an all day breakfast. Great portion sizes, hot and all tasty. Really reasonably priced as well ! Thankyou for such a great experience

Nice enough pub and the ladies working there were very pleasant. After reading the reviews we were looking forward to a nice lunch but I was bitterly disappointed by my choice. The lasagne had virtually no filling, it was all pasta and completely lacked any flavour at all. I've never used so much salt and pepper with a meal to try and add some taste. I really hope they improve on the recipe moving forward.

First visit since it reopened. Lovely sandwich and toasty, very generously filled, nice tea, friendly service. Will come again.👍

Fantastic Sunday lunch, lean lamb and crispiest roast potatoes. One of us gf and such a treat to have home made gf Yorkshire puddings. The cardamom panacotta with roast peace’s, white chocolate sauce and peanut brittle also great. Very competitively priced too. We will go back and try in evening.
