Drovers Rest in Powys - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great welcome, friendly unhurried service and obviously frequented by locals. We had the Welsh Rarebit which was delicious

Our only regret is only booking to eat here on the last night of our 3 night stay. Place is nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. Food was top notch. If you are reading this review don’t accept the truly dire offerings elsewhere in the town. For a truly good meal in excellent surroundings book here. To the business perhaps update your website and signage which suggests you are closed in the evenings - you should be booked to capacity given you are such a star in an oasis of awful.

Lovely restaurant - service was exceptional. Waitress was polite and reminded me on how my parents brought me up. A refreshing change from the usual dreadful standards seen today in teenagers. Food was delicious and the location perfect.

We arrived as a party of 5. Just an amazing restaurant experience. The staff were super friendly and efficient. Great care and attention to detail throughout. Generous portions and everyone was more than happy with their meals. I wish they were closer to Leamington spa!

Absolutely fantastic, a real gem of a location! Super host, great menu and delicious food.

We enjoyed a beautiful 3 course meal here last night. The food was cooked to perfection and tasted fantastic! Waitresses were polite and attentive. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.

Great food Great service Great price 👍

Amazing staff made my experience and amazing food xxxx

Absolutely fantastic, a true restaurant. With real chefs not just cooks.

Firstly, you have to book! This place doesn’t open every night and when it is open tends to have only a few tables. That said it is well worth it! Booking was slightly mixed up , we asked for 7pm, was told they open at 6:45, so we confirmed 7. When we arrived at 7, they said we’re we’re 6:45!! It didn’t seem to matter though as we were led through to the small snug/bar for a pre-dinner drink and a chat with the chef and proprietor. Small bar but with a good choice. We chose our wine there too, nice choice of excellently priced wines. The menu was excellent for such a small place. Lovely choice of some more unusual dishes (venison for example). I had the black pudding starter and my husband had the mackerel ( see pictures below ). Beautifully presented when they arrived, almost didn’t want to spoil it by eating it! All the courses were delicious and a good portion size - to the point we both struggled to finish our dessert! Restaurant itself seemed clean and not smelling of food ( a pet hate of mine ). We didn’t feel rushed and we were offered port with the cheeseboard which was a nice touch (or a dessert wine ). My only bugbear about the whole experience were the 2 young waitresses. They were very polite when serving, if a little inexperienced maybe, but away from the tables you could hear them giggling constantly in the kitchen and it just felt like they weren’t taking things seriously behind our backs or they were maybe laughing at the customers. It probably wasn’t the case of course but it was slightly off putting. Overall, really would recommend a visit for a meal. Very impressive food.

Food in this place was terrific. Unfortunately we were the only people in there that evening but the chef told us that they were full the next two evenings! The presentation of the dishes was really good. Really worth trying if you are on your way through to somewhere else. I'd book in advance.

We ate as a group of six at The Drivers Rest and were blown away by the quality of the food and wine at reasonable cost for this level of cuisine.

We had delicious freshly cooked lunch of sea bass and fresh vegetables followed by equally delicious homemade desserts. Friendly staff added to the experience.

My husband had the Welsh brunch which he thoroughly enjoyed and looked amazing. I had the fish which along with the chips and peas tasted like they came directly from the freezer and were heated in the microwave. For a place that has received recognition and awards, I was very disappointed. But not too disappointed because I made reservations for dinner, hoping that Drovers can redeem itself.

Great friend place to stay at the Drovers Rest Riverside Restaurant

We had a fantastic meal at Drovers Rest while staying at Ardwyn House, just down the road. The chicken and salmon were both lovely, desserts were excellent and the staff were very attentive.

always an amazing welcome with lush food peter is always welcoming and accommodates a range of dietary requirements. sadly wasn't open one afternoon so visited a nearby cafe which was absolutely awful. really looking forward to our booking in march at the drovers

Fabulous meal could not fault it lovely atmosphere really cosy

First visit, will definitely be back,what's not to like.

We turned up without any notice and Peter welcomed us in to stay the night after an unpleasant experience at a hostel. Staff were all friendly and Peter went out his way to cook us dinner the same evening, it’s the little things that go along way. Definitely coming back next year for our yearly Wales trip.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and wide range of excellent dishes.

Friendly staff...fabulous food.....dog welcomed

We were staying in the pub opposite this restaurant to take part in a walking festival. I hadn't planned on eating here as I didn't anticipate having the energy for conversation and fine food after walking. However, on Saturday morning, I decided to email on the off-chance they might fit us in that evening. Peter promptly replied offering a table at 8:15, which was perfect. From the moment we arrived, we felt well looked after and at ease. The young waiting staff were fantastic- attentive but not overbearing. The menu had a good range of 'proper food' and the wine list was reasonably priced. The atmosphere was spot on, with two or three other larger tables of people but obviously the emphasis is to book in the amount of people they can cater for to a high standard, rather than cram to the rafters and compromise the quality. Our meals were perfect and served at the relaxed pace I believe an evening meal should be served at. Overall, our experience in this restaurant was wonderful. Top notch meals in delightful surroundings. I'm so glad we decided to dine here, it really was the perfect way to round off the enjoyment of a day in the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Had an amazing meal last Wednesday lunchtime at the Drovers Rest. Extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. The service was also first class and we really enjoyed our lunch in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Just had afternoon cream tea, lovely sitting on balcony next to reviver. Had booked for evening meal on the Friday based on the quality afternoon tea but on the day the road was closed from where we were staying so sadly had to cancel, menu looked good.

We recentlystayed for 3 nights B&B and had two evening meals in the restaurant (Peter, the owner chef had to go away the second night). We have stayed there as a couple before and I have visited twice with groups of cyclists on an overnight stay. The food has always been freshly delivered and prepared ( the vegetables and herbs were handed to me one day just as I was going out!). The presentation has always been superb. We live 100 miles away, but I will take any reasonable opportunity to call in again. We usually sit down for an aperitif before dinner, on the balcony OVER the river Irfon, then eat indoors so the food doesn't get chilled. Peter is an interesting and committed host. We have never spoken to anybody who has not thoroughly enjoyed a stay or meal there. The food awards The Drover's has received speak for themselves.

I had the pleasure of staying a night at the bed and breakfast, as well enjoying a fantastic evening meal at the restaurant. Peter really goes the extra mile and it was a real pleasure meeting him. Also great for cyclists, with lots of memorabilia and route advice on hand. Highly recommended!

We were in Wales for a hiking weekend and had planned our stay for weeks. The plans included having dinner at this restaurant for Saturday night! We had read the reviews and were looking forward. What a disappointment. We arrived at the restaurant and had to awkwardly stand in the middle of the room as a young-looking waiter who received was quite keen to check whether or not we had a table booked rather than direct us to the counter where we would have been out of the way of other diners. He went away twice to consult/check leaving us in the middle of the room. While we waited, Peter (who was clearly the man in charge, and now I read here is the proprietor) - came asked us the same question and guided us to the counter. He then proceeded to check whether we were booked on his system and we clearly were not. It was clear that a table had not been booked and he asked yet again to see the confirmation email that my friend had received. He checked that twice. Having checked his records and then demanding to see a confirmation of our booking, Peter proceeded to tell us off about not calling to confirm that we were running late - so the problem became - our being a few minutes late; not about them not having a table for us. We apologised for being a few minutes late - we had under-estimated the distance from our glamping site to the restaurant. No apologies just an angry man giving us an earful while other diners watched in bemusement! At this point 2 of us walked out as my friend who had done the booking tried to reason with Peter. Even if he had found a table for us, I wasn’t going to sit down in such a hostile environment to spend my hard earned £££s. It looks like a great restaurant, but it also looks like a refresher course on customer service wouldn't go amiss. I went in to spend some hard earned £££s and being embarrassed in front of other diners was not part of the plan for the evening, not then and not in future.

Ordered the lamb with high hopes following the awards and recognition given to the head chef. The lamb was very tender however the portion size was extremely small for the price and the flavour was ok at best. The draw to the restaurant seemed the be the chef but he was rude to us following a short delay in our arrival and even more rude to another group who had a similar problem. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for value for money or cares about feeling like a valued customer.

What a lovely place to stay such a welcoming reception from Peter the proprietor So many nice touches to make your stay feel special We ate in the restaurant in the evening the food was delicious and beautifully cooked We definitely will return and would highly recommend to others

Whilst on a cycling trip in the area. We stayed at a nearby Bed & Breakfast and this was the nearest restaurant. In terms of what it delivered, it was SO much more than just a local restaurant. The standard of food was way above expectations. It was imaginative, beautifully presented and ingredients were all fresh. I was really impressed and would definitely visit again. The only thing I'd change would be to go there every night rather than for just one of them!

Stopped for a cuppa and cake on the way to Elan Valley. Lovely, friendly and welcoming staff. Good large pot of tea and lovely cake. Loads of memorabilia on the walls and miss mash of proper crockery. Just the job on a long drive. Thankyou....

The food was absolutejy exceptional, balanced and delicious. The head chef Peter James MBE was so incredibly warm, he set us up outside despite being short staffed and chatted us through each dish and even some local history. We were absolutely blown away by the...

We found this place by chance during a one night stay elsewhere in the town. We all loved it . The food is of a very high standard. The service is spot on and very friendly. I can’t wait to take my wife here to...

Stunning sunny day and what a beautiful spot,river out the back and then inside to cool off,had the most beautiful afternoon tea, just served to perfection.....thank you

Called in off chance for a drink and snack whilst travelling to Tenby. Really pleasant outside seating area by the river. Cakes delicious. Welsh cakes warm with butter, superb

Travelling from Staffordshire to Tenby we came across this amazing place with the best views as it was between service we were offered tea and cake which we were very grateful for 3. 5 hours into our journey ! A lovely owner who still chatted...

What a great welcome. The owner set up a table for us on a terrace overlooking the river. We drank a lovely Sauvignon Blanc while eating a delicious meal. The food is classic with a twist. For example fresh ginger on the prawn and avocado...

Great coffee, friendly welcome, lovely people Stopped in today on a cycle ride from Llandovery, perfect

Excellent and welcoming service. Great coffee and cake. A go to place for us. The terrace is pretty and overlooks the river. So picturesque.

We had a lovely coffee and cakes at this delightful riverside inn. Very friendly service. We hope that summer 2021 goes well for you!

What a lucky stop and find, here in Llanwrtwd Wells at the Drovers Restaurant. Best home cooked lasagne for a very long time. Great welcome, lovely staff and chef. Great menu but we have to move on now

The chef is masterful. The main dish (roast lamb) was cooked to perfection. My partner's seafood pasta was a tiny bit overcooked, but the taste was exquisite! Great menu, fantastic service and spectacular food. Sadly for them, we were the ONLY couple in the restaurant...

A superb dinner for two, all dishes looked and tasted great and were served on elegant matching crockery. Great ambience and service was efficient and friendly. Chef and owner Mr James is a wonderful host. Excellent value for money.

I just visited this lovely place with a group of 3 on a cycling weekend. Peter is a fabulous host, made us all feel so welcome, the food was delicious and the restaurant has a very warm feel to it. After some pretty wet rides,...

Just back from a fab three days cycling. Despite Storm Alex doing its best to dampen our spirits, we had a great time. In large part this was down to Peter and the team at the Drovers’ Rest. From advice on routes, bike storage, kit...

We had a delicious dinner in the Drovers last week. Everything we ate was clearly home made and very tasty. We will definitely be back. Great job!

We came across this lovely restaurant whilst travelling to South Wales from Wirral. Needing a drink and snack we stopped to give it a try. Very glad we did. We had Sandwiches and scones with cream and Jam and a lovely pot of tea. The food was delicious and of a high quality and the service was excellent. We were able to sit on the outside terrace adjacent to the River which created a lovely ambience. We enjoyed it so much we visited again on our return to Wirral. We were greeted by Peter the owner who is very welcoming and showed us to a socially distanced table. We had Welsh Brunch this time. Once again delicious and excellent value. The restaurant is spotless and felt very safe in the current climate. Hand sanitizer was available at both the entrance and exit. A thoroughly pleasant experience which we will definitely repeat next time we are passing through.

Absolutely spot on! food was amazing and the staff so polite and helpful, highly recommend the Drovers rest.

We had a delicious meal on the terrace overlooking the river, our first meal out following lockdown. The meal did not dissapoint. Very welcoming staff.

We arrived in Llanwrtyd Wells and the Drover's Rest certainly looked the most appealing place to eat. We were not disappointed. Things were already getting quiet due to the impending CV19 lockdown, but we were very well welcomed, served the most beautiful meal and nice interaction with the Chef.W will return once Wales has reopened.

Upon arrival we had a drink in the bar with turned out to be a little room with loads of interesting decorations/antiques/paintings, was very cosy and we loved it. We then enjoyed a 3 course meal in the restaurant, the food was excellent and the service just as good. I had the Squid and then the Fish of the day which was the Sea Bass. Both were generously portioned for the price, tasty and presented well. Then the dessert was even better, I found it difficult to choose but went for the Banana & Fudge pudding, which was fantastic, really tasted like fudge with little bits of banana in. We'll be back!

Arrived after a 6 hour drive and was not disappointed. The food was very well prepared, reasonably priced and the service was good and the service charge was optional. Some reasonably priced wine meant that the whole experience was a great start to a weekend in a lovely town

What a delightful place to stop. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Our dog was not only offered water but also a treat. One of the best places I have com across.

I’ve eaten in some pretty top notch restaurants and the food here was equally as good. Very friendly staff and a relaxed, cosy, atmosphere made for a very enjoyable experience.Peter even came to check we had a good experience as we were leaving.Couldn’t recommend more.

When in Wales (from Australia) we always try to fit in at least one stop at Drover's Rest. Foodwise there has never been a disappointment. The service is efficient understated and observant without being obvious. 'White linen' tables in an interesting and decorative Tearoom setting return visitors to elegant times gone by. We arrived unannounced but hopeful of a place and were informed courteously with a smile - always a plus - that we would be fitted in but there would be a wait. Bar service was offered and we were well looked after during the interim. The Sunday lunch was a varied set menu with ample choice. 2 soups : leek and potato or Ham hock with lentils, and a selection of tasty starters - warmed brie and cranberry, duck with orange pate to name just two. On a cold day, the soup with warmed bread roll was wonderful 'comfort food'. The roast lamb Mains was our choice from beef, lamb or chicken with sage and onion stuffing, each of which was equally tempting. Roast lamb with mint sauce, extra gravy, roasties done to a crisp turn, mini Yorkshires and complemented with carrots, mangold, cabbage, peas and extra minted boiled new potatoes brought to table. (We'd have brought a lot home but there was little left.) The dessert/cheese board menu was varied. Again all tempting but we opted for the blackberry/apple crumble and the lemon crunch. Custard, cream or icecream to accompany. A culinary delight Peter and staff. Thank you so much. We look forward with anticipation to our next visit. n.b. reservations recommended but guests will be looked after subject to availability.

The interior is full of character, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. However, although the restaurant was not particularly busy, we had to stand and wait for about 10 minutes to be seated. The two of us then had to wait another 20 minutes for menus to be brought to our table, so we then sat with no drinks and no menus to look at! There seemed to be 2 waitresses on duty who were serving other customers while we were waiting. They either needed an additional member of staff on duty, or further training on how to prioritise duties such as showing new customers to their table and having menus ready for them to peruse while waiting to be served. The food, although delicious, was not cheap, and so I would have expected better service, training and organisation on the part of management. I don't hold our waitress responsible, she was very helpful and friendly once service finally began!

Passed through llanwrtyd wells so many times.... saying "we must stop one day". Well today I did as I travelled with my mum for a weekend in our caravan. Great to find this lovely place. Sat on the terrace overlooking the river as the sun was shining. Welcoming and friendly and more importantly for me, dog friendly too! Service was great with excellent home cooked food.

Managed to squeeze us in without a booking, as we waited for drinks and menus about 20 mins three different groups of people were told to come back at 8.30pm as there were no tables. There were 7 tables free and by the time we left 8.50pm there were still 5 tables available. Starter of squid and leek and potato soup was very good. Good job my husband had a starter as his pasta dish was tasty but only 4 pieces. My sirloin steak was ordered medium to rare as soon as I cut into it I knew it had not been tenderised as it was tough in parts, not the best especially for the price.

Delicious fillet cooked to perfection but what the chefs did with the veg!!! Yum 😋 courgette has never tasted so good! Try the house wine reasonable n the red is especially tasty. A find!

Fab food, excellent service and really relaxed atmosphere. Terrace overlooking river to enjoy a drink before eating, I’d definitely recommend visiting, you won’t t be disappointed.

My Husband called in today and asked me to write a review on his behalf. He cycles with his mates most Sundays and stops off for a bite to eat. He called here today and sent we a photo of this tea cake, massive! He said it was fresh and delicious but the best part was the service. The owner had somewhere to lock up our bikes so we could sit and enjoy the beautiful view. He couldn't do enough for us and its a biker haven, making us feel extremely welcome. Definitely will visit again, what a find

Five of us have had a great weekend riding the local trails and enjoying Peter’s great food and relaxed hospitality. The accommodation and restaurant are a gem in the smallest town in Britain.

Four family and friends were celebrating the 6¿th birthday of one of the fairer sex. As we have never had a meal in the Drovers that we did not give five stars it was booked with confidence. Two of our party travelled aver 100 miles each way and the other two well over 40 miles each way but everyone agreed it was worth it. 4 starters, 4 main courses , one sweet, 3 bottles of wine, 3 coffees under £200 including tip

Called for lunch on Saturday. Ordered brunch and jacket potato with prawns, pot of tea. Tea pot had a nasty crack in the spout. Brunch was ok but asked if black pudding wanted and toast or bead and butter. Asked for all 3 none served. Jacket potato and side salad ok but very dry as small serving of prawns with little sauce and no butter. Trying to be something it is not and very slow service though not many in which then held us up on our visit to the town.

A most pleasant Atmosphere, warm and welcoming. Attentive staff, excellent menu plenty of choice,Very impressed with the selection of fresh vegetables, lovely traditional roast dinner. Most definitely yummy.

we have been here a few times and the food is always really nice.

I liked everything about this place. The tables set beautifully with fresh flowers. The quiet moving around of the efficient waiters and waitresses. Their smart black waiting clothes. The fact that food and drinks were prepared in a kitchen, not in the dining area, so you could chat nicely in the peace and quiet. Excellent food. Very polite staff. Good loos. It had those good old fashioned values. Was a tad procey but I did not mind as we had found the right place for lunch and will go again.

We called in this gem of a restaurant on our way back from our holiday in Carmartheshire. Have been here for Sunday lunch before which was lovely. We had the cheese omelette and chips out side on the new terrace overlooking the river. The food was excellent, in fact the best omelette we have had in ages. Presentation was very good. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner. A great place to eat.

Loved this place. Found accidentally en route. Had Welsh Rarebit - yummy. Lunch for 4 and drinks, £36. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic family meal to celebrate my mother in laws 70th birthday at the Drovers Rest. What a lovely quaint restaurant and amazing food!

We thought we were in the middle of nowhere and suddenly came upon the town of Llanwrtyd Wells. It was around 3pm and the Drovers Rest right on the river looked inviting so we stopped to check it out.

We just had dinner at drovers rest restaurant and the food was excellent. It is a cozy place and the service was very friendly. We will definitely come again and would highly recommend it! Next time with pudding!

Recently, on a sunny afternoon, my 88 year old Mum asked if I would take her to the Drovers Rest for afternoon tea. Mum and I walked into the restaurant, we were faced with such hostility by the proprietor, to such an extent that I was literally horrified.

We went a while ago now but still in our memories, lovely place to eat and the restaurant has a homely feel.

Well appointed restaurant. Good service, mid-price range, with a good choice on the menu. On a warm day the decking outside overlooking the river is a good place to chill. Pleasant staff.

We went here for afternoon tea as the reviews led us to believe it was friendly with a good atmosphere. We were met by a very unfriendly and rude owner who upset an older member of our party with his comments. Needless to say we turned round and left without ordering.

This really is a gem in a small village in mid-Wales, And worth going out of your way for.

Very clean and homely establishment Food good and well presented, facilities very clean - extensive menu and reasonably priced

Extremely welcoming and accommodating, the “ Drovers’ Rest” offers both superb food and the most comfortable rooms. It is ideally placed to break a long drive down into South Wales.

Staying across the road at Carlton Riverside we had an eye on the riverside terrace attached to this place... and one sunny afternoon, after the rain had cleared we pounced on it..!

We went for a meal last night, four of us, and I can honestly say that was one of the best meals I have ever had, the attention to detail, the lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and we were given plenty of time, not rushed at all, followed by a lovely drink in the lounge over looking the river. What a gold mine of a restaurant this is, can highly recommend it and will definitely be back, diolch!

Fabulous food, lovely host and really good service in a gorgeous relaxed atmosphere- would recommend this to anyone.

Passing by so thought the Drovers Rest would be an ideal stopover for lunch. Busy lunchtime service. Excellent, tasty food, service good. An enjoyable visit to be repeated when lunch beckons in Llanwrtyd Wells.

Had afternoon tea here and it was a little dissapointing. No sandwiches just two slices of bread with some cheese seperate, on a plate with some salad. Not very appetising at all. Then three seperate plates with a scone and jam but not fresh cream. A Welsh cake with a square of butter and a piece of Bara Bryth. All very muddled and not that tasty. Dissapointing

Have stopped here several times for tea and cake. It is traditionally done out and a very pleasant place to be. Service is always good and the staff pleasant.

A delightful tea room beautifully decorated serving lovely tea and homemade cakes. Superb little intimate tearooms.

My wife and I had a main meal and a dessert. The choice is fairly narrow but there are always meat, fish and veggie options. The atmosphere is very nice and cosy. the service was friendly and prompt. The food was lovely and came with a variety of vegetables. Both my wife and I enjoyed the food. The desserts were also very nice. You could tell that the chef had worked hard on presentation and this added to the experience. The price was reasonable, more expensive than other places offering pub grub, but we felt that it was money well spent considering how much we enjoyed it. We have been here before and will do so again

We visited the restaurant after reading the many excellent reviews, having previously dined at the nearby Carlton Riverside. Perhaps our experience was not typical of previous reviewers, but we left wishing we had booked into the Carlton.On the positive side the bar was very pleasant with a good view over the river, with a good selection of reasonably priced drinks the service was quick and efficient.However our main reason for dining was the food, this unfortunately did not live up to high expectations that we had when it was cooked by one of Britains top chefs.We would have expected a more seasonable selection of vegetables than red cabbage, carrots,baby corn and French beans, particularly when 2 of the items arrived half way through our meal. My wife's sirloin steak was well cooked but lacked flavour, my halibut was good but in my opinion was not complimented by the sauce. Our final disappointment was when we received the bill from the owner for virtually double the correct amount, an almost impossible amount for 2 people. When it was pointed out the blame was apportioned to the lady that served us, if you own a restaurant you must recognise that a major mistake has been made not wait for the client to inform you!

I had an opportunity to visit this restaurant twice over the Easter weekend with a group of friends, first time we all just had a piece of cake and drinks each. I am not a fan of simnel cake, however the one offered here was exquisite. Light, moist and well spiced with a layer of marzipan on top and some elaborate decorations, the coffee was good too. Second time, 5 of us had lunch, as it was not lunch time at 2.30 we were accommodated and made to choose from the snack menu which is understandable. There was a lot of choices on the snack menu anyway, the welsh and buck rarebit were delicious and I had an opportunity to try my fiancees butternut squash and lentil soup which was flavorsome. We didn't have a chance to sit on the terrace at the back, which looked very inviting. The owner, Pete is a master of hospitality and instantly makes you feel at ease! I would certainly visit again for something more substantial. True gem!

The food and service in this little cosy restaurant is second to none. Whenever I visit my relatives in Wales, I drive over an hour especially to eat here, as I know the food will be great, and the service will be friendly and efficient.

Lovely quaint place, scones and hot chocolate gorgeous, owner was lovely, helpful and welcoming. Would visit again.

Attended a wedding anniversary a couple of weeks back. It is only fair to say the hospitality offered was exceptional. Despite catering for approx. 30 persons, all the food was of a very high standard, every one I spoke to said that the meal was first class, so well done team drovers rest !

We enjoyed a meal with friends whilst visiting the area. It was quiet for a Friday evening and service was good.As a bit of a fussy veggie I had no trouble picking choices on the menu. The meal was good quality and plentiful. After starters and mains we couldn't manage dessert, but plenty of choice.We enjoyed far too many drinks in the rear bar, keeping Peter open longer than he probably intended! Would highly recommend!

I have called her several times en route through Mid Wales and always had a pleasant welcome and a good freshly prepared meal.A wide variety of meals is served all day.If you like a homely atmosphere with no nonsense well prepared food you will not be disappointed.If the sun is shining take a table outside by the river.
