You know Wetherspoons. No music, not much atmosphere, you bring your own atmosphere. The drinks are cheaper than most other places, the food is reasonably priced solid pub fare and the staff always do an excellent job.

Super nice place to have a good time and a good evening. We went there twice in a few days with friends who live near Newtown. The first time we ate and drank, the second time we just drank. Their fish and chips are really very, very generous; I almost had trouble finishing! A special feature specific to certain establishments in the United Kingdom: if you order a hot chocolate, tea or coffee, you return to the bar with your cup and they refill it for you FOR FREE! You can therefore consume until closing, at a lower cost! I forgot: overall, the staff is very friendly!

Been to this Spoons a few times when staying in Newtown. The team are very polite. The food is nice and the speed has always been brilliant when I have ordered here. Always fairly busy in the evenings so finding a table can be a challenge, but the team are quick to clear tables ready for the next guests. I would rate this as a ‘better than your average’ Wetherspoons.

I love this place. You can order through their app, from your table which is great (I struggle with human interaction). They naturally have WiFi, to enable ordering. Tonight my wife and I shared halloumi cheese starter and I had a Quorn Katsu Curry (vegetarian). Honestly, the Katsu curry was as good, if not better than the fancy ones I used to have in London which cost double the price. The beauty of this pub, is that it's just a good, lovely place. I've visited my fair share of pretentious restaurants in the past. Ironically they all lack in most areas. But the Black Boy delivers on great value, the food is great, the drinks are great. I dare anyone to visit here and find they leave wanting. If you want a cosy, comfortable and enjoyable dining experience, this is definitely a place to visit.

It always used to be really good but these days is a hit and miss, unfortunately... Sometimes you will have a great meal, another time not so much. Another thing is a lack of random dishes from the menu - almost every time in the last year something was out of stock... service is still good and quick, so all good there plus the app ordering is great 👍

Walked in and had really high expectations considering its a Weatherspoons it had an old pub feel. Breakfast arrived and it was the worst ever, had to send it back it was cold, never had to do this in a Weatherspoons. Needless to say was microwaved and returned as per the instructions of the manager who was not apologeticat all, still only lukewarm but just edible. We pass by this town often but will not be visiting The Black Boy again.

My son ordered an alcoholic drink he is aged 22 and I paid on my card. The waitress delivered the drinks and my son said the alcoholic drink was for him and she refused to give it to him as he was under 25??? She then started to walk away with the alcoholic drink. I said are you going to refund me then. She said no so I said I would have it . I’m 52 😂 she said I couldn’t have it because he said it was for him so I had to drink a whole pint in front of her ( I don’t usually drink and luckily not driving and I’m a woman not that that makes a difference) what a disgusting disgrace.

We stopped here for a few drinks and sat in the pub which was lovely. Plenty of seats and warm cosy rooms. Also had a lovely fuss of Bailey the local dog :) The landlord was very friendly and very kind to give me a birthday drink :) also he gave us some beer and cider recommendations. Reasonable prices and a spotlessly clean pub and toilets. Especially the day after New Year’s Day!! Lots of bar snacks and the landlord told us they have a pizza oven which sounds lovely so shall we come back to have one. Very good atmosphere!!!! We are staying at a local lodge and have came in here a few times. Recommend if you're in the area.

We stayed here a few months back and found the place to be excellent again! Last time the breakfast service was poor due to a member of staff, this time the complete opposite ! The pub is amazing and has a nice atmosphere, the restaurant is lovely and the food excellent ! The staff are all really eager to please, the breakfast as I mentioned was excellent with great service ! Room 12 is a challenge for a 6’2 person but comfortable ! The bath should be replaced with a shower cubicle really but can’t fault the place overall and will always come back even if in room 12 :-)

We visited whilst on our way down to Builth Wells. A family of 8. Food was fabulous very tasty. Staff extremely friendly and worked very fast to serve our Sunday lunch. Very large portions and a huge bowl of cauliflower cheese unfortunately only one of our party liked that so a lot went to waste. We would definitely recommend! Diolch yn fawr/thank you very much
