We had a fantastic Sunday lunch for under £13 each at the Crown this week. It was excellent value for a generous amount of meat, veggies, and a big Yorkie. We loved the fact that it was accompanied by a huge gravy boat, which ensured an excellent gravy-to-meat ratio. Staff were also extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and we're looking forward to our next visit.

I recently visited The Crown In and had a fantastic experience. The drinks were well-crafted, and the pub had an impressive selection of both local and international brews. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing top-notch customer service throughout my visit. The cosy ambience and lively atmosphere added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend The Crown In for everyone! and outstanding service !

The most darling little place! We had been on a 7 hour trek and were in desperate need of food. After trying elsewhere with no luck, the waitress here seated us, no trouble, and I am so glad she did. Never have I ever eaten such a delicious meal and dessert. I cannot fault this place. The service was fantastic, the bill for 2 meals, 2 desserts, 6 drinks and a large tip was still under £100. We plan on returning to Rhayader in the summer months and we will without-a-doubt be coming back here. Thank you so much. Fantastic dining experience. My only regret is that we didn't get the waitresses' names to pass on our joy to management.

Must say what an amazing stay and value! Can’t fault the room for the price. Others may say not perfect but for £32 for an evening I was very impressed!!! The food, drink, service and overall experience was great 😊 Pub Grub at its best

We went for a meal, table of 4. Our greeting was warm and friendly where we were shown to our table in a timely fashion. Our waitress for the evening delivered menus and took our drinks order. When taking our food order she shared a laugh and a joke as I am always a little indecisive when deciding what to have. To say we were impressed by our starters would be an understatement. Our plates were swiftly removed and shortly after our mains were delivered. Again, to our delight the quality was superb as was the size of our meals. I would highly recommend The Crown as somewhere to go to eat.

Excellent customer service! I'd been travelling all day and they managed to squeeze me in for dinner despite being fully booked. It was the only vegan meal in town, so I was very grateful. The meal itself - vegan shepherd's pie - was fantastic. I popped in again briefly for a quick drink before my bus out of the area and everyone was lovely once again.

Had a lovely lunch here a few days ago. I was disappointed that they did not have the fish pie so I chose the salmon. It was beautifully cooked and the vegetables were delicious. My husband had the lamb and found it a little on the chewy side. He also had the cheese cake and said it was delicious. The staff were really friendly and the pub extremely clean.

Having read a few reviews we thought would give it ago. We where shown to a table 10 min past before anyone came for drinks order or food. Food arrived we both had sunday roast very blande tasting gravy veg was hard and not much to choose from. Pub staff seem to have a habit of returning to the bar pull down their mask to read message on their phone. Also noticed alot public walking to and from rest rooms did not where masks and where not challenged. Also staff to busy chatting to friends allowing kids to sit on the bar and pay no attention to the paying customers. Not offered any refill on drinks or a desert menu given it took 20 min to finally come over to ask was we finished this is very poor service.

I think Marrillion sang the line "lost in the confusion of another fine menu"; that was my first dilemma. Having narrowed it down to a choice of four, I went back to the list and selected the feathered steak. I followed the chef's cooking recommendation and I can say it was sublime, the best steak I have eaten for years. It was wonderful, real ales kept properly and friendly staff that were happy to respond to my birthday merriment and banter. Thoroughly recommend The Crown Inn

My partner ordered fish and chips, my daughter had sausage peas and chips, mother in law and her partner had veggie pie. But the star was the feathered steak with a side of onion rings and mushrooms. Trying to persuade them to stop on way back just so I can have it again

We ate here for dinner as a group of 7 yesterday Wednesday 26th August, we were greeted at the door by a very friendly young lady who asked us to fill in the track and trace. She then lead us through to our table in the function room, another very friendly young lady the came and took our drinks order and brought them through to us. Some of our party then had starters (I tried the garlic bread and it was very good) unfortunately just after we received our starters the power to the whole town went off (it was VERY windy) the staff were very apologetic and did all they could to keep customers happy, some people left soon after and the manager said they could have their drinks for free. We were told they were waiting to see if it came back on again by 8pm. We were just about to leave just before 8 when the power suddenly came back on. Our meal was soon cooked as was first on list, we had a steak, lamb pie, scampi, pork belly, gammon and hunter’s chicken. All meals were delicious not a bad thing said about them the staff even accommodated the sporadic requests for extra chips. All in all a very nice meal and very nice staff, well done to The Crown.

Explained the Covid precautions and we were pleased to see these were enforced when a group of young men came in and were immediately challenged to use handwash and social distancing. Our meal was great. My wife had the Surf and Turf which was Perf!! I had a rump steak which was cooked perfectly to my taste. There was a good menu selection. We were so impressed we came back the following evening and again our meals were top notch...The staff all seemed to be really happy and nothing seemed too much trouble. We will definitely return and recommend anyone to try it out.well done to all the staff..

Stopped off by chance at the Crown for Sunday lunch, we had the house of Beef or Lamb for the roast. We both picked the Lamb and all that came with it, roast potatoes, broccoli, carrots, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. The staff were exceptionally polite and the food was the best roast we have had in a long time. I cannot recommend The Crown food and staff enough.

A warm welcome from the charming young bar tender. Toasty log fire & a relaxed atmosphere. We had two puppies with us so we ate in the restaurant which had plenty of Olde Worlde features & access to a nice garden. The vegetable lasagne was excellent....my brother was less impressed with the beef (overcooked/tasteless & grey), the cauliflower cheese was inedible, tasted like sick! The prawn cocktail was generous, strange choice of garnish. Plenty of food but think quality not quantity. Really good service. We enjoyed the experience.

Very traditional oak beamed pub with a great atmosphere. Eaten here twice recently. Once off the bar menu and another time from the Xmas menu. The food is very ordinary and a bit pricey because it isn’t anything special. Okay food very much improved by lovely staff. Especially the kitchen staff.

Don't stay if you want some sleep. Ignore opening hours, bar served till 1.14am Saturday/Sunday when we were there. This would not be a problem were it not that you can hear every word of conversations as there is only a floor board between you and the noisy low ceilinged bar. Then of course there is the music which might as well be playing in the bedroom. Final conversation (full of expletives) finished at 02.20 on the Sunday morning. Would never stay there again. If you have children don't consider staying under hany circumstances.

After a long day walking round Elan Valley it was a great relief to stop off here for a drink and some hot food. Good menu, lovely food, good selection behind bar. Friendly staff. Only negative was lots of tables reserved, but it was Saturday afternoon, so ended up round a small table up the corner. Top tip, even though they don't start serving food until 5pm, you can order before then and you'll get it pretty sharpish once 5 o'clock comes.

We stayed nearby for four nights - and just kept coming back each evening to this welcoming pub. The locals and the staff were very friendly, the food was magnificent and even our springer spaniel was quiet and very happy in the 'back restaurant' specially set aside for those with canines. The menu was very varied and everything I ordered tasted delicious - the onion gravy with the lambs liver and bacon main course was outstanding. The lovely chef wouldn't reveal the recipe so I will drive the 6 hours back to Wales again just for another taste!.

We were staying near Rhayader for a few days, and tried the Crown on our first night (after leaving the Lamb & Flag across the road - see my review!). The Crown was a great improvement: busy for a start, and much more welcoming. Beer (Brains) was good and the food was also very good and generous portions. In fact we went 2 nights in a row before venturing further afield.

If you want meat that you can eat in your steak & ale pie then try somewhere else because the pie that I had was so full of gristle and tough meat that it was inedible. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and the veg was not 'Al Dente' it was uncooked.The worst pub meal I have had the misfortune to eat.

We popped here for some food around half 5 and must say were very disappointed. I had the lamb shank, I found it chewy and a little dry. I thought the shank was over priced for the quality. My wife had the lasagne and hers was also dry, overcooked and had no tomatoes in it. Very bizarre.

Husband and I staying in Rhayader for 1 night, the owner of our BnB recommended The Crown. Pub is small but perfectly formed. Tables and comfy chairs for the just drinkers, plenty of space for diners. We were seated at 730 (had booked a table), orders placed at bar by 740, food got to us around 810 which we were very happy with, don't consider that a long wait at all especially as food is cooked to order and the pub was busy. MASSIVE portions! I was thrilled by how much actually as I do love my food, and the prices then were exceptional value for money. I had the cajun chicken, Hubby had stuffed chicken breast. Cannot fault the food, either of us. Beautiful flavours, chicken was deliciously moist and perfectly cooked. The two lasses who served us were friendly and polite. We'll definitely be back next time we're staying

Being hungry after a long walk we popped in for food I’m fully aware it’s a pub but was expecting better. Food took an age to arrive burger pink all the way through and luke warm. My wife’s lasagne was indescribable we took a while to work out it was lasagne as so flavourless and lack of pasta was trying to pass as cottage pie. We didn’t complain as just wanted some calories at this point and honestly I’ll eat anything! The bar itself was filled with local Sunday drinkers who had been there a while. Again no issue as I have frequented many a pub but didn’t need to have conversations about drugs and relationships within earshot as I eat. The final nail was paid and left and realised I had been charged for an extra drink! Not rushing back.

We had dinner at The Crown, Rhayader, good food, wonderful service, couldn't be more accommodating, a proper pub with a great atmosphere. Definitely will return.

Met with friends and we had booked a table. As there were nine of us we had the function room. Out of the main bustle we were able to talk unencumbered and never wanted for a drink. The service was first class and the staff are a real credit to the place.

I booked for four of us Saturday night, glad we never just turned up as they were very busy, was told there could be a wait for food but it never took any longer then anywhere else. You don't go hungry, plenty of food on your plate you fill you have eaten, friendly lady's behind the bar, will use this place again when in area.
