Lakeside Restaurant in Powys

We haven't visited the restaurant for a couple of years but we were delighted that the place and food was still of an excellent standard. There is an extensive menu which should cater for all tastes

Wonderful location and lovely food makes this a must to visit. The menu is extensive and although staff were busy, the evening was really enjoyable, although the second round of drinks didn’t appear.

Over rated. Out dated inside. Dirty tables (self clean materials available which means you clean the disgusting mess of previous diners) Food basic and somewhat greasy (Sunday dinner) Raucous clientele Lovely views

We all enjoyed a wonderful meal on a very busy Father’s Day afternoon. Lovely hot food, large portions and very tasty (between us we had the pork, beef and sea bass - all were so tasty). Despite being full we all made the most of the 2 course menu and enjoyed a variety of desserts (baileys cheesecake, banoffee pie, tiramisu, fudge cake - we all thoroughly enjoyed them). Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. 100% recommend and will definitely be back.

Great Food Excellent Staff Beautiful Views on the terrace of the river and golf course Reasonably priced. We were here five times during the week we had two breakfasts and three evening meals we had the Steak.Gamman.Cod Hunters chicken.lasagne. Cajun chicken burger it was all cooked to perfection big portions . Only downside we have a dog and they not allowed in the restaurant fair enough but can get a bit cold on terrace if windy . Will definitely be back here on are next holiday thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well

I have been to lakeside many many times and feel I have to rate my lunch this time. When it was time to order my friend and I asked about the soup and sandwich deal and were lead to believe ( we asked the waitress specifically, as the menu confused us ) you could order soup with a sandwich as a deal which we were lead to believe would come to £6.95 in Total, which the waitress confirmed was the deal. When we came to pay the I had a whopping £10.75 bill for my food. As the waitress had not explained that the sandwich was £8.25 and the soup was £2.50 , apparently that was the deal, not what I’d previously been told. This was all the more infuriating when the sandwich I’d received, was just 2 slices of brown ordinary bread with a very nice filling , a couple of rocket leaves, when the menu specified it was supposed to come with coleslaw and garnish. That sandwich was definitely not worth £8.25 We queried it with the waitress, when receiving the bill, she apologised but that was that, and I was to pay the £10.75, when half of the advertised food was missing. We were very very disappointed and won’t be going back.

Lakeside never fails to present food which is excellent , first class meals at all times whether its a large group of 50 or minimal numbers it always is hot ,quick service and the ambience is just right. this is a beautiful place by the lake and outdoor seating. plenty of parking for a big function. staff are on the ball not forgetting the chef and all the kitchen staff that prep the food.

Went for lunch. Were told we couldn’t run a tab as we were sat by a table near the door. We then moved to another table only to be told we had to move to yet another table 1 metre away if we wanted to run a tab. We duly obliged. Food arrived - fairly average. However the service was appalling. Asked for cutlery and told it was on the bar but the waitress would bring it - which she did. Then asked for sauce only to be told it was on the bar and to get it myself. Unbelievable.

We visited in a pre-booked group of 21 and had a fantastic experience. The food was amazing and beautifully presented and the staff were all friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

We ate here on Sat 17th December, for Christmas lunch. We were very impressed with the quality and quantity of the food, also reasonably priced. Service was great and the restaurant was tastefully decorated, creating a lovely ambience. We would certainly recommend and will be trying your other menus too, in the New Year. Thank you to all the staff.

Looked on website for somewhere to eat we were in Montgomery and seen lakeside was open all day so drove 20 minutes to get there. On arrival we entered the restaurant and waited as the waitress was on the phone we waited at least 7 minutes before she acknowledged us , we said can we order food she replied think the kitchen shut 2 minutes ago we had been there at least 7 minutes and the Web site says open all day . She checked the kitchen and shouted from the other side of the bar not doing food appalling service . New to area will never go back

Always a pleasure to visit this restaurant, situated in the most lovely spot, with very good efficient and friendly staff. Recent visit was for Sunday lunch on the occasion of wife's birthday. The Sunday lunch was top notch, plenty of it, very tender meat, and excellent selection of vegetables cooked spit on. Both drinks and food priced very reasonable ( £16.95 for 2 course Sunday lunch) Can't wait to go again. Be warned you have to book a couple of weeks ahead to avoid disappointment, it's very popular.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Such tender roast beef and lots of side dishes. Good service . Great value. Lovely location. Will rush back

I normally only review to big a place up but on this occasion it’s not. Watered down Guinness 14 quid for 7 pieces of scampi. To put this into perspective at the talbot Berriew I can get ten pieces of scampi with chips for 6 quid. Would no recommend I’m afraid. I’m an ex member of the golf club and won’t be coming back for similar reason’s. Expensive with not much satisfaction.

Average curry missing the poppadom as stated on the menu. Asked waitress who said they don't serve with poppadom. Don't advertise if it's not provided

Visited on Saturday 25 June on the off chance as we had not booked. Beautiful location, and a friendly atmosphere. The girls on duty, behind the bar and the waitresses and accommodated the 4 of us no problem. The menu had something for everyone and very reasonably priced. Two of us had roast beef with beautifully cooked vegetables, another of our party had honey glazed ham with the perfectly cooked egg and the 4th member had chicken madras. The food was hot, service first class, could not fault it. Will definitely return

My husband and I visited the restaurant for our anniversary. We both really enjoyed our main meal of fish and chips and fried halloumi, salad. We were therefore looking forward to the dessert. I chose crumble and my husband chose sponge pudding. When they arrived it was obvious that they had been microwaved. The crumble was served in a ramekin, it was too hot to tip out to cool, and too hot to eat directly from the ramekin, the topping was also like sawdust, I therefore left it. .. sometime later the waitress collected the dishes, I complained to her ,she was apologetic, I asked her to convey my comments to the chef. There was no apology from the chef . When it was time to pay I mentioned the over microwaved crumble again. Another lady spoke to me who I assume was in charge, Again no apology, I was told it was hot because it had come out of the oven. (the oven being a microwave oven). and that no one else had complained. She clearly was not customer focused and clearly did not care. Some advice, if a customer severely burns their mouth on food that has been over heated in your restaurant will you care then?

Went for drinks at 7pm Monday evening with my daughters. Wished we hadn't bothered. It looked closed with most the lights switched off and only 3 men drinking there. The rose wine bottle didnt come with a cooler container. We were told where to sit on the seating area near to some men talking about golf. The area was cold with no heating turned on. The smell of stale cooking fat was present. The whole place looked tired. Then around 7.45pm we were told it was last orders at the bar. We didnt bother needless to say and headed for the lovely Nags Head pub up the road, where we were greeted with lovely surroundings , a place with character, warmth and atmosphere. We were able to drink until normal closing time and had a great time. Lakeside used to be a lovely place to eat and drink. On this experience I wont be going again.

We were staying at one of the lodges next to the golf course so decided to walk across one evening for dinner with our 2 boys. We all enjoyed our meals and found the service very good. Nothing fancy, but decent food at a fair price.

Place had more flies than guests swarming round, Sunday lunch was absolutely terrible & tasteless. We asked to be moved due to the flies, left most of our meal & not even offered a drink. Roast potato’s looked like they’d been there all weekend, vegetables were dreadful.

Thought we would try lakeside for our friends night out as we havent been here for a while.On arrival everything covid friendly was shown too table and ordered drinks. Menu not very extensive but I suppose they are not doing much at the moment, my meal was lovely, but 2 of the others didnt enjoy theres the beef lasagne tasted very nice but it had been microwaved far too much and was very dried up.Then my other friend had the pie which she asked if it came with chips and was told yes when she recieved she had mash, she did tell the waitress it was ok but as she wasnt sat near me it wasnt until awhile later she said the pie was terrible really, really salty as if the chef has dropped a salt cellar in it.To be honest I would have sent it back, but she did eat it.When the waitress asked if everything was ok I did tell her about the 2 meals, she asked if I would like her too tell the chef so I said yes.I dont think anything was said too the chef or they just dont care as we didnt get any kind of an apology.

We stayed at Argae Hall campsite which is located next to the lakeside golf club. The campsite is amazing! At £25 per night which includes water, electric and awning it’s brilliant! The tourer pitches run right along side the river Severn which you can fish on as they have a license to fish on part of it! Grass all kept lovely nothing over grown! So clean! Toilet and showering facilities lovely and clean! Will be returning for sure!! Highly recommend!!

My wife and I were staying nearby so decided to give it a try...I'm so glad we did.The reception from the staff was friendly and warm. The restaurant was clean, perfectly lit, and tidy. We ordered our food and drinks (which arrived very quickly).The food is gorgeous: I had the Oriental Beef Stew, and my wife had the Lamb Shank; both meals were superb!We then ordered a dessert, which also arrived quickly, and they were both generous portions, and great quality.We will certainly return here next time we are over this way.

I hadn't seen my parents since before lockdown in March and decided to travel up for the day from Cornwall (didn't want another lockdown without seeing them) We travelled early morning from Cornwall, unfortunately we were delayed en route, but they held our table and couldn't have been more understanding and welcoming when we eventually turned up, even tho the restaurant was full. Really appreciated everything they did to make us feel welcome, staff very friendly, nothing was too much trouble and the food was fabulous, as always. Thank you to all the staff yesterday, it meant so much. Will be visiting again when we can and hopefully it will be less stressful. THANK YOU

Just returned from enjoying a glorious afternoon tea on the sun drenched decking area at Lakeside.Staff unhestitatingly accomodated one of the party with restricted dietary ability and provided suitable alternative food quickly and wih a smile. What more can one say? All Covid protocols observed. A safe venue to visit. Highly Recommended.

The lakeside restaurant was recommended to me for a great place to eat out. I visited last night with my two daughters and mother. Staff upon arrival were very welcoming and friendly. We ordered our meals which consisted of vegetarian lasagne, beef lasagne and 2 children’s pizzas. After about a 10 minute wait the food arrived. The children’s pizzas weren’t what I was expecting, pitta bread bases topped with tomatoe purée and a huge amount of cheese. When I cut into the pizza it was clear it had been microwaved and the grease was gathering on the top. As I waited in anticipation for my lasagne, I tried a chip of my daughters, hard potato but thought perhaps it was just that one. My lasagne arrived, looked lovely, the lasagne was pipping hot. Convinced it was microwaved I cut it straight open and tried the middle “cold”. Tried a chip, under cooked and hard potato. The waitress was informed, so apologetic. The vegetarian lasagne was hot through but lacked taste. When the lasagne returned in the form of molten lava, microwaved beyond belief. Completely awful meal, which I couldn’t eat, soggy garlic bread, uncooked chips and a lasagne with so much cheese to camouflage the complete lack of flavour. The waitress was so very helpful. I explained I wasn’t prepared to pay for my meal and really not prepared to pay full price for my children’s which was virtually untouched, out of character for them. The waitress called the manager. To my shock there was no charge for the food. I paid for drinks and puddings, very fairly handled by management. We were very disappointed but impressed with the staff and their professionalism. Sadly we won’t be returning even though I think it was a one off looking at the other reviews.

The restaurant is set in a freat location overlooking the golf course. We recently had lunch there having not visited the place recently. The food was still of an excellent standard with good portions. The staff on duty were very pleasant and helpful

Had a lovely meal here for a family birthday. The food was lush and so much of it, great place and great service thank you

Yet again we enjoyed an amazing meal for Valentines, every course was excellent cooked to perfection. The service as always was first class and the atmosphere just right to celebrate the evening. Would fully recommend anyone visiting Lakeside for a meal you won’t be disappointed

This restaurant is set in a beautiful location and is very clean with welcoming and friendly staff. On the day of our visit the restaurant was quite busy however we were quickly attended to at the bar and shown to our table. There was a fairly large selection to choose from on the menu and after placing our order we were served within 15 minutes. We ordered ham, egg and chips and a roast of the day which was beef. The food was pleasant enough though the roast beef was a little tough and cooked very well done (far too much for my personal taste). There was also a large selection of deserts, we both had Eton mess and these were delicious. Prices were competitive for the area. On the whole we enjoyed our meals so would definitely recommend paying a visit if your in the area.

We were on our way to the Air Ambulance Centre in Welshpool and were taken here for lunch. It was fabulous, the food was amazing and such good portions. The best Lasagna I have ever had. We asked for the dessert menu and were in awe of the vast amount of choice but alas we were so full from our main course we had to decline. Can’t wait to visit here again.

Have visited about three times now . A beautiful location made even better by great food and service. Steak pie and fish and chips recommended. If I played golf I would join!!!

Excellent customer service and friendly staff very accommodating, we have been to this restaurant before and it’s always best to book.

Our first visit and we were very happy. The food was excellent the service very good and prompt even with a large party in. One of our party was took ill and I have to congratulate them on the response. The staff were quick to respond and could not have done more to help. Thank you so much for a fabulous start to our evening and a helpful, thoughtful, if unexpected end. We will be back, hopefully all in good health this time.

We have just had Sunday lunch with around 25 friends at the Lakeside and we all enjoyed the really beautiful setting. I had beef with all the trimmings, which was magnificent, and my wife had sea bass which was really great. Everyone in our party seemed to enjoy their meals as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was our first visit but we will definitely be returning

My partner and I travelled from Yorkshire and stayed in Welshpool. Tonight was actually our second visit (in three nights) to this lovely restaurant, however the first time I forgot to take photos! Fantastic views and scenery, relaxed environment and a really good menu too. The staff, on both visits, were friendly and tentative, and we were never left waiting. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised how well presented the food was. The taste was amazing too. This is a really good find and we would certainly go back if we visited this area again. (Food in the photos- Peppercorn Chicken & Beef Strogonoff)

I spent a few hours at the Lakeside on a Saturday afternoon. Beautiful surroundings. We had lunch. The homemade steak pie was THE best meat pie I have ever had. The other meals were outstanding also. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is my second visit and I will definitely be returning in the near future.

Excellent Sunday lunch you have to book well in advance as this is a popular venue. Has a golf course nearby excellent portions of food plenty of choice of drinks. Highly recommend

In a beautiful setting we were again not disappointed with an excellent meal. All four of us had something different and we were all equally satisfied. We declined a dessert but would have been tempted if not full!Service was quick and efficient. Altogether a lovely evening

I came here for a round of golf when staying at garthmyl hall.

Lovely food, helpful staff, pleasant atmosphere, good views, good beer. Will be going again for certain.

Called for a meal on Friday night staff were great nothing was to much trouble for them my wife and daughter had gammon which was really nice I had burger and added a chicken burger for extra £2 but it was just ok nothing special my other daughter had chicken nuggets and they did do her rice but she wasn’t that impressed with the nuggets, chips were good had a side of onion rings and sweets were nice but £90 for 3 adults 1 child and 2 half soft drinks each I’ve had better for a lot less but have to say the staff were spot on.

We had visitors up from London for easter weekend, so headed to Lakeside as its always really good. The food was really good, my gammon was cooked really well and everybody elses food was good too, the weather was really hot that day and the views are lovely. The one downside, the service wasnt great, the waitress who seemed to be in charge that day was a bit rude and abrupt, and not the warm feeling we normally get here, maybe she was just having an off day! We will definately be returning.

We went here as our lodges recommended it and I really wish they hadn’t. Complete lack of a welcome from the two members of staff at the bar when we entered, after waiting awkwardly we had to approach a member of staff to ask about a table and we were told a 15-30 wait (no problem with that at all). We were then served at the bar by a lady who, to if I’m honest just seemed completely confused by her job! After being seated our food arrived, starters were ok, massive plates for small servings of the actual food that had been ordered, with an oversized side salad and very burn cold toast with the pâté. Then the mains, over cooked “medium rare” steak and a lamb shank that was filled with tiny bones to the point that I gave up eating it. No one really to speak to about these issues as two large birthday parties were clearly priority over all other guests. After our plates had been cleared we patiently waited to be offered the dessert menu and another round of drinks. 30 minutes later (and 5 minutes after the kitchen had closed) we gave up waiting, paid (an extortion £60!) and left throughly disappointed.

I take my wife to this restaurant quite regularly and we can never fault it. The only problem might be having to wait for food sometimes but we don’t complain as we know it takes longer to cook fresh food. The service is first class and the surroundings are beautiful. We would recommend this place to anyone. It has to be the best place to eat in mid Wales

we went as a foursome for our Christmas outing and were not disappointed, the meal was delicious with plenty of choices, the service was impeccable and the surroundings were very decorative, but still felt very comfortable

All I got to say is that was the best mother day food I had the starters was so nice the roast turkey was lovely the gravy so nice the pudding was nice the staff are lovely and the cake at the end has a little gift was so nice. All I got to say is thank you I will be back soon

My Mum had been to Lakeside a few times before and on her recommendation we booked for Sunday lunch on Mothers Day. Overall, it was a big disappontment. The starter most of us chose was prawn cocktail which was served with white bread which had already been thickly spread with butter. I would have expected brown bread and definitely not already spread with an excessive amount of butter! The main courses were just ok and luckily we asked for the gravy to be served seperately (the turkey gravy was a very strange colour!) The dessert of fruit pavlova was not good. It was overfilled with artificial tasting cream. Overall the meal lacked finesse. I appreciate it was Mothers Day and really busy but really disappointing as my Mum had previously highly rated the food. Based on this experience we won't be visiting again or recommending to anyone.

Meal with family with lovely food, good portions and service excellent. Staff very friendly and highly recommend this place for a night out.

Had a fantastic meal lovely food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.an amazing place and views are something else

We had a get together at lakeside and we were not disappointed!!! Food was excellent and the service was very friendly and efficient! We will be back

Just had lunch here for my friends birthday which was lovely up until I found a HUGE beetle in my bacon, Brie and cranberry wrap! It fell out of my wrap with a thud it was so large! Reported this and apologies and refund given but the whole meal was ruined for myself and my friends who also couldn’t eat their meals.

20 of us for birthday meal seemed to be a night for birthdays as there was 4 lots going on. Meal was nice out of 20 of us only 1 had an issue which got dealt with really quick. Only issue i found was that couldn't hear what food was getting called out and we didn't receive any veg or salad type stuff on the table just had loads of chips. My husband had ordered a veggie lasagne and when i heard it getting called i put hand up and then he ended up with a normal lasagne in front of him which he wouldn't of been happy to of started tucking in to. All in all it was a good night with good food and good company

Went to Lakeside last night for my Dad’s birthday. The food was so delicious! Lots and lots of choice for each course. Service excellent, setting excellent, food excellent.

Out with a group of friends...3 out of 8 had fish and chips.....so overcooked that they are offered free desserts and not charged for the meal. In fairness the lad behind the bar handled the situation perfectly...after all he didn't cook it!

We stayed at the lodges that border this facility and booked for breakfast on the Saturday morning.

The service is always good, food brilliant and the staff are friendly, would highly recommend booking. The home made desserts are always excellent.

We went for lunch on New Years Day for our third time and once again the food was excellent, the beef was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The service was great and we had yet another enjoyable start to the New Year. I would recommend anyone to try this restaurant not only for New Year but throughout the year it won’t disappoint.

Went with my Dad over the Christmas holidays..needed to book as was very busy. Food excellent..staff friendly

Came here for our work Christmas meal, what an absolutely incredible meal. Service was spot on and the food was served swiftly. I had the beef as a main and it was the best I've had in a long time, the gravy was to die for! Would thoroughly recommend this venue :-)

Great quality, portions, service, in a lovely setting. Had much worse in my life, but not too much better !!

We’ve been here a few times and the view is beautiful, the staff are welcoming and helpful and the food is good. Big portions, win plenty of sides. There’s always enough room for any size party.

I find that you never can guess whether eating at the Lakeside is going to be a good experience or not. This visit was pretty mediocre in terms of service, the order came out with items missing, we had to ask several times for more wine and sauces etc. However on the plus side, and as ever the desserts are spectacular and it sort of makes up for a lot of the little irritants. It’s always busy but always clean if I could change one thing I would change the speed of the service but I would eat there again because as I said it can be much better. I would have rated this visit as good but there was no option so I felt it fair to grade it very good rather than average.

Food and quality is always first rate. Service is friendly and will always oblige when it comes to dietary requirements.

Visited the restaurant twice whilst staying at the nearby lodges.

This restaurant is part of the Lakeside Golf Club. Beautiful location, especially on the sunny day we were there. Ample parking, although might be more of a problem at weekends when the course is probably busier.

Visited this restaurant whilst playing the course for two days. Choice of beer at the bar was good and very friendly staff. Both days we ordered bar food from the kitchen, service on the first day was quick. On the second we arrived just after a large party. We were warned that food would be a 15 minute wait which was accurate. Portions were generous and tasty. The golf course and the restaurant are worth a visit if you are in the area.

Around 12 of us went for a birthday meal for my aunty and service was great even though there was a golf comp going on so bit busy and the food was delicious. Definitely would go again even if it was to sit and look at the views. Everything was great

Had very pleasant here. My plaice was perfectly cooked. My partners stroganoff was very tasty and succulent and service was fantastic.

Visited here as we are staying in the lodges close by and walked over for a drink with the family. Didn't feel welcomed from the moment we came in. Staff were rude and didn't make an effort seemed to make it all about the golfers even though we are paying customers. One member of the family was connecting to the wifi which was on the sign at the bar the next minute it had been removed so we couldn't use the WiFi and also for some strange reason they wouldn't allow us to have the plastic coke bottle at the table even though other members of the family had glass bottles so doesn't make sense. Won't be returning.

My husband and I have ate at the Lakeside Restaurant on a couple of occasions and have really enjoyed our meals. We have always experienced great customer service when visiting.

Over 2 weeks ago we visited Lakeside for funeral refreshments. It was snowing and the weather was terrible. On arriving at Lakeside we were all welcomed and immediately served piping hot tea and coffee.The food was amazing, a good variety and all cakes home made. Nothing was too much trouble and they even provided receptacles for people to take the food with them to take home or long journeys home. We cannot thank the chef and all the staff enough for helping us that day. I highly recommend the staff and the venue with beautiful views even in the snow.

I was given a voucher for Christmas for afternoon tea and was very impressed with what it consisted of! We had an excellent variety of sandwiches and cakes, the sandwiches were fresh and full of filling and there was 5 different cakes all homemade and delicious all served with pots of tea or coffee. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent and the views are a bonus I highly recommend afternoon tea here!

In the past I have been to this restaurant and enjoyed the meal. I recently had the misfortune to eat here again. The service was slow,and we had pre booked. The food was terrible, I cannot think of any good points to the meal, the desert was even worse.

Great food and service, couldn’t fault it, we were in a party of 22 but the food came out seamlessly and all very hot & tasty. Very reasonably priced as well. Definitely the best meal I’ve had in and around Welshpool for a long time. Thank You.

Went here last week, ordered steak and was awful. So chewy I couldn’t eat it, done well eating quarter of it and had to send it back. Disappointing food. Could not fault the service though.

We had an evening meal with friends in between Xmas and New Year,. My steak was cooked very well ( to my tastes) and the deserts were very good. The service was great. Its not trying to be a flashy pretentious boutique type restaurant, It provides standard english food cooked very well, and lastly the location is great.

Although we enjoy visiting Lakeside for a drink, especially in the summer when we can sit outside, we have always found the quality of the meals to be decidedly average. We have been several times for different occasions and have always been slightly underwhelmed by the quality of the food. Such a shame really as the staff are always very efficient and friendly but we feel the food is not up to the standard we would expect. It's not that we have been once and are being negative; each time we go we say we'll give it the benefit of the doubt and go again but we continuously come away slightly disappointed.

Have visited the restaurant many times always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Beautiful scenery well worth a visit

The waitresses were friendly and attentive and they gave excellent service. Unfortunately, the sauce on their prawn cocktails had a quite unusual acidity and flavour. The Rib-eye steak ordered was not of great quality and their onion rings were soggy and under cooked.

Although generally ok a couple of things let them down, probably mainly the lack of anyone in control.

Visited here with family for a nice lunch. We pre-booked a table and it was set up on arrival. The surroundings were lovely with beautiful scenery and the golf course. Just how we remembered it as children. The food menu was simple but ideal with a choice of home cooked food. We had pate with toast and the soup of the day to start. The pate was lovely but very cold, I would have liked it a little less firm to spread on my toast and more toast. But it was still lovely. The soup was thick and only came with half a baguette, whereas some more bead may have been better. The mains we had lasagne and fish and chips. The lasagne was homemade and on the plate not in a separate dish which was great! The fish was huge and the chips were huge chunky chips which were really nice.

Haven't been here for a Sunday lunch for a few years, they were always good, and they still are! Waitresses were just right: attentive but not invasive, and the food was lovely. Five of us had roasts and one had the squid offering, all were very good. An excellent choice of desserts, and the Bakewell Tart that I had was fabulous! Thank you all and hope not to leave it so long next time!

I've visited on a few occasions and never had a bad meal, Sunday dinner is my favourite, food is locally sourced and so nice. Last time I visited for was for my works Christmas party, Im lactose intolerant and was Impressed they did me my own menu including homemade puddings. I chose Apple pie, it was delicious. Staff are friendly and welcoming, view is beautiful, definitely reccomened

We gathered here for a large get-together of family and we all got served within a reasonable timescale, the food was good, the staff were helpful and welcoming and I think we'll be doing it all again, regularly I hope.

We had a family party here to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary .We were a party of 15 and had hoped for a sunny evening so we could have our pre meal drinks outside to enjoy the views over the golf course and the Severn..Not to be, it poured all evening but thanks to the lay out of the Lakeside this did not matter as there was plenty of sitting room for us all to meet and enjoy our drinks.The staff were excellent and attentive all meals were cooked as asked and every body enjoyed their evening.This is in my opinion the best place in the area to hold a "bash"

We visit this restaurant a few times a year as we know that we will have a good value meal in pleasant surroundings. we can certainly recommend it if you are in the area. Often a table booking is necessary

The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly.The variety of the menu was tremendous.Excellent meal enjoyed by the whole family.

Back in May 2017 I had booked a table for 4 for my 7th year wedding anniversary for July. We had traveled 120 miles to stay at the lodges near by. When we arrived to ask for our table we were told our table had not been booked, but had been booked for the following day and there were no tables available. The rather large female behind the bar said that we repeat the dates when making the booking, this is true as this was the case, but some one had put the date in the book on the wrong page. She was not having any of it. I asked if there was another table available and there was half an hour later...the thing that annoyed me was that they did not admit making a mistake or take any responsibility or apologise hence nothing was offered for the mix up. Visited on several occasions to this golf club and the food and service has been fantastic. On this occasion, food was average and the service, well you've just read it...my father in law who is in his 70's wanted to leave a tip but I rufused refused to let him..I'm sorry to say that we won't be returning to eat here again... Go to Nags Head back on the main road, much better foodand even better service.

The meal was delicious and the setting of course is beautiful but generally we were disappointed with the service. To begin all was fine but after our main meal not one waitress attended to us to clear the table or ask if we wanted desert. We were surely left unattended for about 3/4 hour after we'd finished our main meal. To add insult to injury, we discovered 2 other parties, who had come in after us, were served their desert and we still hadn't been seen to. Needless to say we left disappointed and unfortunately, may not hurry back.

Had lunch here whilst playing the golf course. Attentive staff and quick service. Had filled rolls with various fillings and various drinks. All were good. Nice location, with outside seating overlooking the river and first tee. Nice premises, decent and varied menu. Enjoyed the course and would eat here again if we were to play the golf course again.

Having heard good things about the restaurant myself and my partner decided to visit for some lunch. We asked the lady behind the bar if we could have some lunch she said "yes, would you like a table" My partner and I thought it was a strange question, how else would we eat our food? Anyway, we were quickly seated at a table by the kitchen door, despite there being a half empty but apparently "full booked" restaurant. We were hoping to order afternoon tea but when I asked the waitress they simply looked confused and said they didn't serve it then told me I would have to "pre book anyway, but there are wraps and sandwiches available instead". We would have gone elsewhere but being hungry we ordered. My partner ordered the bacon and egg bap, and I ordered the bacon bap. When the food arrived, it wasn't brilliantly presented (comparable to something served in a typical cafe) and the egg was missing from my partners meal. The waitress quickly emerged from the kitchen with an egg on a side plate which my partner had to place in his sandwich himself. The waitress brought the bill to the table but having sat waiting to pay for 15 minutes we decided to head to the bar to pay. The lady who took my payment for our £11.70 meal informed me she would have to take £15 from my card and give the rest back to me in cash because they would get charged if the bill was less than £15. A little annoying. We left feeling disappointed and won't be returning in a hurry.

The Location was Excellent on the edge of the golf course with views across the Seven valley. The Service was very good. The food was good.

On a sunny evening, we decided to have dinner out and give this place a go. We were not disappointed. Lovely setting and fabulous food.

Have become regular visitors when in the area, food is always good and the service is about the friendliest you could ask for.Nice to see it always busy when we visit with a great atmosphere.Highly recommended.

Weather was wonderful. A beautiful location and the food was something else. Don't miss a visit to this great restaurant.

My family came here to celebrate my grandads birthday and I really enjoyed it. I came once for a staff Christmas party around 6 years ago and wasn't overly impressed. Came 2 years ago for another staff party and again was ok but not amazing.This time however I loved it, there were 10 of us in our group, along with a busy restaurant on top of that and service was excellent. Food came quickly, and was really tasty, offered some varied starters too instead of standard boring offerings local restaurants push. Main meals delicious and very filling.Drinks were also reasonably priced, only slight criticism is that as the bar isn't very big you can "queue" a little for drinks however this is nothing major. Would definitely visit again after this much improved experience.

My family and I recently stayed at penllywn lodges (very poor customer service received through the lodges and do not rate at all!) However just opposite is the lakeside, the service received by the girls in the restaurant was fantastic, lovely bunch of girls (didn't get any of there names sadly.) We played the golf course on the one day, and used the driving range quite a few times during our stay, there was a pleasent older gentleman in reception that told us all we needed to know about the golf and prices etc, really helpful Overall a very pleasant experiance, the golf course is very well kept.

Lovely place to go, surroundings are beautiful. There was 8 in our party and everyone was happy with what they had to eat, staff very good and would do anything to help ( even taking photos ) portion sizes are big so you won't leave there hungry
