Crocketts in Powys

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of Crocketts. A menu for all tastes at extremely competitive prices. Informative staff helped me choose (as I’m a slightly difficult diner!) and wow, I will be back!

Another excellent meal at Crocketts. Delicious food; generous servings; amazing low prices (could charge more for such quality) and friendly and warm service. Top quality dining experience in Powys - can't wait for my next visit.

Very pleasant and bright décor inside, with comfortable wooden furniture arranged with good spacing between tables, accentuated by cool Jazz music in the background creating a relaxed 1930's atmosphere. Waitress had a gift for making customers feel special and important. Delicious food was served along with drinks in timely fashion at reasonable prices: £59.00 in total for Olives/Smoked Nuts (complimentary), Hummus, Artichokes, Fries, Green Salad, Fillet Steak, Chocolate Truffles, Proseco Sorbay, Large Tinto, Cola and Coffee. Will definitely return across the border for future special occasions!!

For an English restaurant and food quality standards, and considering it is "up in the sticks and in the country" ( where there is little going around anyways, much less than on any city scene), this is a must place to go to eat. In that context- 5 stars.Prices definitely 5 stars for the kind of food you get. My food was obviously cooked by a professionally trained chef, well presented food dishes, an original menu, and some authentic combination in texture and flavour combos, hands down. The desserts went "beyond" and I would give them 5 stars. The ambience was ok, could be better, but good music and board games on hand. Truly a village experience. Very,very nice. I definitely recommend. For a place "in the country" that offers a decent vegan and vegetarian options - I give 6 stars, because it is so rare. However, I decide to give 4 stars overall, and this is all a personal thing, so depends on the person to person. It is about "how do you like your food" thing? I like my food to blow my mind, order one more, and one more to take home. I am an excellent home cook, and if I am not offered at least same or better tasting food that I make at home for myself, then...you get my point. And at Crocketts only deserts exceed that threshhold. On top of that, I cook Italian, Indian, Thai, Japanese foods to my liking, adapting traditional recipes to improve texture, taste and the nutritional value. I lived in Asia, so, travel helps the cooking experience. Also, I am a Balkan person, and food, veg and meats simply taste very differently there. Just fresh produce alone. People who had been there know what I mean. SouthSerbain grill is the best in the world, hands down, and my grandma was an exceptional home cook, so I am difficult to wow. An exceptional waiting service is almost non existent in Britain. I think the girl at Crocketts was very good, for British standards, 4 stars -and 4 stars in Britain is rare! An average is 2 stars almost wherever you go. I had only better in England in an private club in London, and at the Castle hotel in Hereford. But I had an exceptional service in many European restaurants many times, you know, with frocks and all, with professional waiting staff so good, they come and serve you food like to a little baby. You feel being food pampered top of the world kind of thing. Well, you ain't gonna get that in Britain.

Perfect as always. Delicious food, great service, perfect music, puddings so yummy. Always a pleasure to visit-thank you!!

We had an excellent brunch, the food is fresh and very tasty, the staff really helpful and friendly, definitely worth a visit

Delicious food, imagination menu, all dishes were so tasty. Very good service, rosé wine was perfect. Would highly recommend a visit. We can’t wait to return.

We were struggling to find somewhere serving food on a Monday night whilst on holiday and found this place. So glad everywhere else was shut as it turned out to be the best meal or our holiday by far. Beautifully presented, utterly delicious and great service.

Myself and a few friends were staying in the local area and chose this place because of the good reviews and we were not disappointed! The food was unbelievable, the menu is written up daily and the flavour combinations were just genius! And such good value too! We would all go out of our way to visit again, I recommend a trip to Presteigne just to try this place!

Delicious, imaginative small plates prepared fresh by the chef proprietor. Good service, relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

A friend and I ate here after golfing and staying in the village. This is a small restaurant but busy with a large group. Don’t bother looking for a menu as it is written up on a chalk board which was added to as the chef wrote the tapas on the menu that night. The quality of the food was amazing and the whole atmosphere was wonderful. Make sure you book ahead so not to be disappointed.

The best Calamari I have ever eaten tender and very tasty, I have been eating Calamari all around the Mediterranean for more than 35 years never had such good Calamari. All the food Ross cooks is excellent the best place in Presteigne to eat. Don’t miss it please.

We had another amazing meal here wonderful Aubergine hummus, followed by the best Squid we have ever eaten, home or abroad ,cant wait to go again A very nice slightly fizzy wine to go with it all .

Went to Crocketts for New Year's eve as the food was highly recommended. Each dish was beautifully presented and had a individual twist that made us wanting to order everything. The beef brisket in tiny Yorkshire puddings were to die for. The service was exceptionally friendly and the personal touch is what sets the restaurant apart from samey corporate restaurants that have a predictable menus. Highly recommended

We always seek out this restaurant when in the area. Our fourth visit now. The standard of cooking is top notch. A selection of small and larger plates, there's something for all tastes complimented by a well chosen drinks menu and delicious desserts. Always consistent, this is a true gem, reasonably priced with an obviously extremely talented chef. Highly recommended.

Absolutely incredible food. A wonderful selection of tapas, delicious flavours and some real surprises. The menu is reasonably priced and the service was great. Thank you Crocketts for a wonderful family meal! You deserve to be fully booked every day of the week.

What a treat. Pure indulgence. Lovely Tapas. Exceptional Specials board. Unique experience. Recommend the Apple Martini

Sublime food and wonderful atmosphere! I can’t stop thinking about the braised chorizo and the sea bass! Absolutely excellent! Crocketts is a gem!

Had a meal with family recently and we had lots of dishes, all delicious and cooked to perfection. Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

The food is delicious! Particularly the artichokes. But everything was really good. The chef pairs flavours really well, so every dish is a taste sensation!

Delicious food and wine in friendly relaxed setting. Good service and ambience. Really enjoyed the tapas selection and desserts

We have just had an excellent tapas meal with our friends at Crocketts on Presteigne High Street. The tapas plates were interesting, freshly prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and the service throughout the evening was perfect. We don’t live in the area but if we are here again we would certainly return. Thank you very much.

A fabulous evening- so friendly, absolutely delicious food, lovely fresh flavours and really good beer!! Perfect 👍

Been back many times as enjoy the food. Today met up with a friend for lunch. Crocketts now opening during the Summer for lunch on Saturday's 12am-3pm. Tapas and blackboard menu so always something to delight the taste buds.

We have dined at Crocketts on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Ross the chef is innovative with his menu and only uses the best ingredients. All meals are freshly prepared whist you wait in the very comfortable restaurant. The menu varies from main meals to tapas, all of which are different and not what you would perhaps expect. If you are in or near Presteigne I would highly recommended a visit.

Visited on a Saturday night, very good food and fine wine. More of a cafe environment but feels like a friendly restaurant. Our host was very friendly and informative. We really enjoyed our evening and would gladly recommend

What a fabulous meal everything was perfect as always we keep coming back fit Ross’s exciting and wonderful food, the beetroot hummus was to die for, the chips were perfect and the tiger prawns were superb. Thank you for another culinary triumph

By far the best meal I've had in a very long time... Every dish has exquisite flavours and different from the other! Service was amazing, very kind waitress. The whole experience was outstanding and I will definitely be going back soon.

The restaurant itself is very cosy. Lovely bright decor and comfortable seating. The food is amazing. A very talented chef cooking delicious food. The service was good but took a long time for plates to be cleared.
