Restaurant At Bradford Arms Hotel in Powys

During our holiday in welshpool ans having searched for a pub in Mid Wales the Bradford arms seemed the best bet for lunch one day. We also liked the sound of the nearby canal and the heritage site. We arrived just after opening time with our dog and he was greeted with a bowl of water and a treat while we decided what to eat and drink. The menu,offered a good choice and the excellent cask ales and on tap cider fulfilled our immediate needs The food, excellent steak pie for one and superb faggots and mash for another were obviously locally sourced and served with ample freshly cooiked vegetables. The staff made us very welcome and we enjoyed a pleasnt 90 minutes eating drinking and being looked after by the landlord and staff. I would recommend it to anyone.

Visited with friends on a Saturday evening... Great pub grub with lots of choice. 2 had the roast pork dinner which comes with selection of fresh vegetables and new potatoes. Husband had beef stroganoff and friend is a vegetarian and she had the mushroom and leek pancake... Everything served hot and tasted great.. Wines by bottle very reasonable.

Fabulous unique pub - great food and lovely people. I went to the Bradford Arms for an evening meal and felt right at home where I straight away felt like I was part of the crew. My dog was spoilt and everyone gave him attention and treats - he was loving life. The food was all homemade and made from homegrown ingredients. Will definitely come back again and would encourage anyone to stop in if they are in the area or even if just passing through.

Attracted by the reviews and the menus we went for lunch. I ordered the steak & kidney pudding and my wife had the ham egg & chips. I had been looking forward to a home made pudding but it seems that it would be crazy expensive to make so they are bought in. Mainly pastry, so not a pudding: really a very ordinary individual S&K pie. The ham and eggs were good. Nice guy running the bar was probably the owner. The lady chef (wife?) explained the reasoning behind some items not being home made.

Ate with friends for early dinner on a Saturday evening. Dogs allowed in bar area. Two of us had the roast beef dinner, husband had the stroganoff and our veggie friend had the mushroom and leek pancake. All meals tasted great and good size peortions. Beef very tender and fab gravy. 3 of us had desserts - two had the cheesecake and the other had the sticky toffee pudding. Wine by the glass or bottle is very reasonable and good selection too. Fabulous puddings....and a must try as all home made.

Not for the faint hearted! Having been “warned” about this place, we were curious on our first visit. We were met by Bob, the owner who’s character could be likened to a mr Basil Faulty. The beer was excellent, the service good and the food was just fantastic! Mainly homemade, piping hot and really tasty. All for a very reasonable price too. There was a good mix of customers including several tourists. We had several drinks there and found Bob and his somewhat peculiar ways quite funny. We returned the following night where the food and drink was just as nice, again at a very reasonable price. Bob wasn’t so entertaining though, or had the novelty worn off and we had got used to him! I think his heart is in it, so we’ll worth a try

Called on a whim while staying at our caravan. Food was terrible! Ordered two roast dinners, came with tiny bit of meat, 3 roast potatoes and a small plate of veg to share (no proper veg- limp cabbage, carrot & suede). No taste what so ever. Think it was left overs from Sunday

Visited again for their amazing Sunday lunches. Dog friendly in bar area too. We both opted for Mains and Desserts, as the puddings are home made by Cath and are superb. I had the Turkey and husband opted for roast beef - comes with lashings of home made gravy, roast potatoes and fresh proper veg plate to share and includes new potatoes. Tasted fab and meat cut thick and so tender. Puddings husband had the Sticky toffee pudding which is his favourite there and I had the Eton Mess. All tasted great and highly recommended if in the area as the Bradford is also a hotel.

Fantastic host, warm welcome and amazing food . Can't fault it. Made welcome in our motorhome by Bob and Kath

Ate again at the Bradford Arms early evening on a Saturday with family. Warm welcome and as always food is excellent and home made too. Mains husband had the stroganoff, others had the steak and I had the roast beef dinner. Everything tasted great and proper veggies to share. Wine very good value. Puddings are home made are are to die for - Fabulous..... I had rhubarb and crumble with custard - tasted amazing. Others had the Creme Brule, millionaires shortcake and sticky toffee pudding. All fabulous.

Had dinner at the Bradford in November mid week, food always excellent and home cooked fresh food at very reasonable prices. Wines are excellent value for money. I had the roast dinner and it was really good - others had steak and the beef stroganoff. Make sure you leave room for Cath;s homes made puds - rhubarb crumble and custard was fantastic.

Had just one night for dinner but several vegetarian choices and delicious desserts. I wish I had had room to try them all!

Had Sunday Roast Dinner with husband, Very good value - We both had the home made pate to start. I had Turkey and husband had the beef - comes with lashings of fabulous homemade gravy - plenty of proper meat and great proper veg. Puds are to die for and home made by Cath and the team - husband says the sticky toffee pudding is the best ever. I had the Eaton Mess. Service very good. Wines very reasonable and great choice.

Excellent Sunday lunch as always – Went with friends who have never eaten here before and they loved it. We opted for the 2 course deal ( starter and Main or Main and pud), we all chose mains and puds, I had the turkey which was super – others had the beef or pork – comes with Yorkshire puds, fab roasties and lashing of fab gravy ,also served with what I would call proper veggies – swede – carrots and cabbage. Home made puds are amazing – if you love sticky toffee pudding – you have to try Caths - husband advises "its the best ever". Wines all excellent value for money and Bob always looks after us – well worth a visit if in the area for proper home cooked food.

Had a three course meals and and three drinks each. Bill came and I had to check it was correct. £60. That’s it. Wow what value for money. Goats cheese starter was delicious as was the garlic mushrooms. Hubby loved the haddock and the fact the chips where homemade. I went for the lamb stew. Dumplings were really good. I couldn't finished the home made bread and butter pudding as I was just too full. We felt so welcomed by the owners but also the regulars. Good music. We will return.

Ate again on a Saturday early evening. Starters we had pate - prawns and spicy chicken. Mains two of us had the roast beef dinner and others had the beef stroganoff and Chicken Kiev - all tasted great. Wines by bottle are very reasonable. One of our party had ice cream and we all had coffee to finish.

Booked an evening meal on a Saturday evening. The real ale was excellent - well kept, really enjoyed the beer from the local brewery - there is also a reasonable selection of wines, good value. Traditional pub food, we had garlic mushrooms To start which was very good. This was followed by a burger, chicken, and the fish and chips - all very nice and good portions. All very good value, especially with the early bird offer. If you enjoy good beer, and good value traditional pub food Then this is well worth the visit

Ate at the Bradford again - party of 4. Pate to start was fab, others had prawn cocktail and the goats cheese. Mains i had the Roast Beef lunch - really good quality beef along with loads of veg and superb gravy. Husband had the Beef Stroganoff with an extra portion of homemade fabulous chips. Puddings are all homemade and have to say Cath makes one of the best cheesecakes you will ever taste. Service very friendly and efficient. Hand gel provided at entrance.

Great food, very well prepared and served. Fresh vegetables were served with dinner. Excellent value for money

Had a wonderful day and evening at the pub. Meeting old friends. The meal we had was lovely, delicious and arrived hot. The ginger pudding was wonderful. Would recommend the food.

where do I start? Real friendly welcome from hosts and staff. Several real ales and a food menu that would satisfy anyone. Probably ordered too much but couldn't help ourselves. Food was fantastic. Tasty, well presented and mouth watering. Would recommend to anyone. Dogs welcome as well. Already planning return trip.

Perfect food, looked tasty and didn't disappoint. Staff attentive but not pushy. Good value, lovely atmosphere

Eaten here about half a dozen times now and, although I can't fault the food or the staff, a little variation with veg would be nice. Every time we have been the veg have always been carrots, swede and red cabbage. And the roast has always been pork. The occasional change and it would get the extra star.

Good food. Lovely atmosphere. Great hosts. Good selection of Ales and drinks. Safe parking. Easily accessible

We visited this pub twice during our stay at Llanymynech.

My daughter, Faye - who is visiting from Melbourne - and I called in at this pub for lunch today. The pub is quite small but homely. The landlord greeted us the moment we entered to say he would be with us shortly as he was serving another customer at the time. When he came over to us I asked if they allowed dogs and he said they did in the bar area. While Faye dealt with the drinks, I went out to get our Labrador pup, Hudson. Immediately, the landlord produced a bowl of water and gave our dog a biscuit. Hudson is happy - “Great place, Master!”

A family of 5 short notice meal. A table was booked with great ease, and a friendly welcome was received. A lovely open fire and good beer and wine. Yet another, if not the best meal so far! Would definitely recommend.

A very warm welcome from the owners follwed up with good homemade food. Value for money is excellent for two course Sunday meal at less than £11! Nice open fire! Very dog friendly too! Well worth a visit.

We are in the restaurant during our overnight stay at the Bradford Arms Hotel and were not disappointed. The menu was extensive and a little confusing with a variety of different options. We chose to eat from the Main Menu opting for Sirloin steaks topped with cheese. The steaks were delicious and cooked just how we liked them. For dessert we opted to share the cheeseboard that had a good range of cheeses. The meal was very good value.

Bob and Cath run a fabulous pub ! Great hone cooked food and fantastic value for money , Caths desserts are to die for ! Something for everyone here and cooked with passion !

Great meal at the pub. Lots on the menu cooked fresh. Good selection of real ales. Roaring fire and friendly locals. Landlord very welcoming. Highly recommended.

We were 26 walkers, all sitting down at the same time. We had pre-selected our meals from six or seven choices - which was not a problem, especially in view of the wide range of menu choices available.

We had a really nice dinner here on the Sunday night. Very friendly pub with plenty of ambience. Lovely location in a quiet village.

My friend and I love to walk and regularly take my son’s staffie, Lola, for good long walks in areas where we’ve never been before using our trusty guide book on dog friendly walks around the area.

We have visited here a couple of times with our child and each have received a warm welcome. The menu has plenty of choice to suit all tastes. Would definately recommend.

Very Very happy with this pub it was fantastic!! We actually stubbled across this place out of chance really but glad we found it as its a gem that we will revisit.

The food was absolutely fabulous the best steak pie ever will call again if in the area. Great staff too

I received a warm welcome when I arrived and I felt valued a as a stranger in what is obviously a popular local venue,

Good beers, friendly staff, very busy with Food customers and many locals drinking It's the landlord touch every time not some disinterested bimbo staring at her phone all evening

Nos alojamos aquí como parte del esquema britstop. Cuando llegamos a un lugar había reservado para nuestra caravana y nos trataron muy cálidamente. Desesperado para llevar nuestros perros a caminar como habían sido en la caravana para un largo viaje en coche, se sugirió que pedir comida y luego nos dijeron que podíamos llevar a los perros de paseo.

Booked a large table for 12 to cater for a leaving party. Food and service was brilliant. All meals arrived at the same time and everything was beautiful, fresh and hot. Puddings were also incredible and amazing choice!

Comimos en los brazos Bradford está garantizada porque regularmente buena comida por un buen precio y la bienvenida a nuestros perros también.

He estado aquí muchas veces ya que es uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer las familias. Mi, el abuelo es muy difícil de escuchar, pero como la zona de comedor del pub es un invernadero grande con bellas cortinas en el techo y moqueta,...

Mi esposa y yo hicimos la "leyes" para la cena. La comida estaba muy rica y el tamaño de las porciones son generosas. Esta fue una excelente comida casera a un precio muy razonable. Recomendaría los brazos Bradford a cualquiera que visite la zona llanymynech.

Buen servicio, muy buena comida cocinada, personal educado y amable y muy servicial. Creo que el menú es un precio muy razonable.

Me impresionó el Bradford brazos. Nos metimos en una noche y comimos en la zona del bar. Bar/gerente del restaurante amable. Perros lazarillos son bienvenidos.

We visited this pub whilst walking the Offa's Dyke. The landlord seemed friendly and advised us to book a table to eat later as it they were very busy which we did. When we returned in the evening there were a few customers, certainly not full. When we asked to eat in the pub area we were refused and shown to a tatty area at the back of the pub. The food was not good quality. Very dry and meagre portions of vegetables. When we complained we were given some extra greens which were not cooked. Wish we had never listened to the Landlord.

This is a pub with a dining room attached, and if you can get beyond the less than refined manner of the bar/restauran manager and staff the food is hot, substantial and cheap. I would probably not retun if I could find something better within a sensible distance. The Hotel is used by Offa's Dyke wakers, and the large portions will be just what you want after a day's hike.

We stopped to eat here as we were on the way to Welshpool for a family party. The hotel itself looks like it should be in Blackpool! The colours are very strange and dated. The landlord was also very odd not very friendly and he kept staring at us. The menu had lots of choice and the food was ok. Not sure it would be top of my list to go again though.

After a gap of over a year, I finally made it back to the Bradford Arms and still received a great welcome from Bob and Cath - the landlord and landlady. Took some colleagues, who were unaware of the place, so was proud to introduce them to a great pub, with great food. We all made different choices, put it was hard to decide who made the best choice! After some persuading, we also decided to have dessert, which we barely had room for, but was much enjoyed all the same! Looking forward to my next visit already

Eaten here a few times over the years and originally used to quite enjoy a meal here but last occasion confirms what a lot of people are saying this place is going down hill funny as same chef

Visited as a party of four.Bar choices very good with novel beer sampling available.Restaurant menu better than average gastro-pub offerings and food was good quality and generous amounts.Staff knowledgable and friendly. Prices slightly on the high side but we will visit again.

I enjoyed some excellent real ale and a belting, hot chilli con carne while visiting Lanymynech recently. Also had an excellent fried goat's cheese starter all for the early bird price of under a tenner.Very friendly landlord.

Been here many times before and always enjoyed the food, good value for money and big portions. However, our last few visits has seen the portion sizes of the vegetables decrease substantially. On our last visit a small dish the size of a side plate of veg was presented to two adults and a 9 year old child to share. The roast beef was tough and was brought home for the dog to eat. The host was rude to family members as he clearly had no serving staff and was running around taking orders and waiting on as well. The host should remain where he usually is ......behind the bar and not waiting on tables. Like the beef from our meal this place is slowly going to the dogs....we won't be returning any time soon.

We visited this restaurant on the first night of our 3 day holiday along the road in Pant. It was so good we came back again for the following 2 evenings. From the moment that you walk in the place you feel welcome. The landlord and landlady are lovely, bright, happy people with a good sense of humour.We selected from both the a la carte menu and the 'Early Bird' special menu. Every meal we had was of excellent quality, well presented and satisfying. There was also a good selection of beers and wines at very reasonable prices. I'll not mention any specific dishes as that's a matter of taste - all I can say that all three of us were please with our choices.We can recommend this place and will certainly visit it again when we are in the area.

Good food, good service. Some variation of drinks, but better in food. The service was excellent.Quirky decoration with welsh dragons everywhere, but that gives the place its charm. The host himself add to it.

Booked for Sunday lunch as some relatives were over from Canada. Warm welcome when we arrived, ordered drinks and looked at menu. We waited in the bar until the starters were ready. Shown to our table in the conservatory in good time. Starter and main were very nice with plenty of veg available. Staff very friendly and child friendly.

We arrived about 30 mins before end of service,chef was sitting at table waiting for our order while we looked through menu,husband ordered soup,i had pate.We both ordered homemade steak and ale pie at roughly ten pound per head,starters extra,Soup was like dish water,pate ok,pie chips n peas,no words can explain this meal,meat in pie you couldnt cut meat with a knife,eating it was another task,dried out gravy in pie,few peas and a bowl of chips between two,and a jug of brown coloured liquid called gravy.if it wasnt for the fact of being hungry and tired after a very long day i would of said something.im sure they knew there was a problem as the bar man took our plates away full.Then the next thing the so called chef was behind the bar cuddling there ten month old cats and then asked if we want sticky toffee pudding,we are both surprised we havent woke up ill
