The Eagles Inn in Powys

Genuinely unbelievable! Worst dinner I've ever been served in my entire 39 years. Pub smelt of burnt vegetables. 'Carvery' consisted of beige, disgusting, badly cooked mush. No vegetables, no colour. The only veg was frozen sprouts that had been burnt, blackened, ruined. Had we not have paid before we ate, I'd have gotten up and walked out. Honestly the worst food ever. A roast dinner should consist of colour and an array of veg. No greens or oranges here. We couldn't eat it, left hungry and angry, the children couldn't believe it. Worst experience ever. Hygiene rating of 2 is less than surprising. Absolutely vile!

Excellent food. Very friend. Would go again.

Came here with 11 of my friends for a meal and was such a great place. The people that worked there were so welcoming and accommodating for such a large group of us and the food was delicious. Thanks again for all the kindness and hospitality. We couldn’t have faulted it. Great experience.

Stopped off for a meal. Food was good and reasonable priced and the guinness was great.

If people cannot handle criticism let it be constructive or not but deleting my post of our time we spent at the pub i was giving my honest opinion. If you cannot get a pizza right and charge a premium price of £11.95 thats day light robbery 👍

Had a good meal and drinks, was very nice burger

This is a very friendly pub with a warm welcome. Food is typical pub food. Perfectly okay. Those who chose the pies were the most delighted as it was a slice from a large home-made pie and very tasty indeed.

Return visit …great meal ..presented well..didn’t wait long to be served..ideal for us as we have our dog with us ..plenty of water bowls for him too

Stopped for lunch after visiting Elan Valley. Great pub menu, all home cooked with extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area!

Lovely welcoming pub with good honest food lovely Sunday roast

Visited one evening for a meal. No problem securing a table and the service was prompt and friendly. The menu was ok but lacked sufficient choices for vegetarians but only a small gripe. The food was excellent. Also excellent ales to chose from

Lovely atmosphere. Good pub grub. Staff brilliant. A proper pub.

Good selection of beers and food. Very friendly and accommodating.

Didn't stay but a really lovely place

Lovely dog friendly pub with great hosts. Very will priced and a warm welsh welcome!

Friendly enough staff but ££££for drinks.

We had a beautiful steak, the nicest we have had in a long time, it really was a superb meal. Thank you

Great Pub, Lovely Staff, Great Atmosphere

Went for a "carvery" and the place was empty. The meat was in trays already cut so is not fresh. The best carvery is a busy one and this is not. No one came to greet us so we left and did our own food. Very disappointing given the website claims and the price. Will not bother again.

We cycled here from Elan Oakes campsite. Spent the evening in here, chatting, laughing and as it ended up - singing the night away. So friendly and welcoming!

Just as friendly and bonkers as it was in the 70's great welcome from staff and locals a must visit destination if you are in Rhayader

Made welcome by the staff ,it's dog friendly,very clean&tidy plenty of choice for food and plenty of it and hot ,nice background music

What a find near the church. Great welcome pet friendly with doggy treats. 3 adults and one pooch for a gorgeous lunch with real ale and unfortunately because of driving non alcoholic too. 3 great different meals and even found room for a chocolate brownie pudding with ice cream (sorry desert). Defo will be visiting next time we are in the area. Thank you for the welcome and what a great find.

Perfect pub fare for hungry walkers in a very friendly pub. Stopped for a quick bite to eat for lunch whilst passing through Rhayader and picked The Eagle after checking Trip Advisor. We weren’t disappointed. We chose fish & chips and also scampi & chips and were both very happy. The staff were very friendly and we didn’t need to wait too long. There was also a good range of local beers.

Lovely and friendly atmosphere, and tasty food

Cosy, welcoming atmosphere, friendly hosts and great food, highly recommended!

Very genuine traditional local pub with good food, well kept ales abd a n8ce beer garden.

The food here was delicious. Piping hot and just really tasty. Everyone was super friendly too and very welcoming. A very lovely place.

Absolutely 💯 food fantastic atmosphere couldn't want better and made very welcome will Deffo be back and bonus dog friendly

Well worth a visit next time in the area. Excellent food and beer. Friendly staff.

Stopped for an early dinner, good food and generous portions, friendly staff, recommended.

Camping nearby and phoned the pub after seeing good reviews. Owner was friendly and helpful and booked a table with flexible arrival time for us. Dog friendly, staff and other guests friendly. Food delicious and great value! Will def return!

Spent a delightful afternoon here. Gorgeous food. We had chicken curry and beef pie, both were delicious and homemade. Hosts couldn't have been nicer. Doggy friendly and lovely beer garden. I have a feeling we will be back.

Dog friendly and appeared popular with walk in customers wanting a room for the night. The toilets were clean. Staff very attentive and friendly.

Lovely atmosphere, so very friendly. Our dogs were spoilt by the locals as well. Food was great, we will definitely be returning 😋

Very welcoming and friendly service definitely will return 😊

Lovely little pub. Food amazing and hosts very friendly. Would highly recommend if you are in the area. It’s not on the Main Street but definitely worth seeking out

Brilliant! We came here for Dinner. This traditional pub served the perfect Guinness and perfect food. The staff were very welcoming and specifically Karl was a true gentlemen and made you feel special. We ordered the Rump Steak and Eagle Inn Burger. We were so full and couldn’t even finish it. However, the food was beautiful and had fresh eggs and homemade (we think) peppercorn sauce. Thank you!

Popped here after walking around the elan valley dams. Lovely dog friendly pub good food. Our dog got on great with the owners dog and a nice play in beer garden. Locals were very friendly and chatty.

Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful customers service. The staff were very friendly and the food and drink prices were very reasonable. A great place to visit.

The Eagles is a very friendly pub with excellent food at reasonable prices. It is clean and one of the best pubs in Rhayader. I highly recommend it. The owners are friendly and we loved our visit.

Wish it could be no stars. We booked a week ago, and left a telephone number, for lunch at 2pm on Tuesday 5th December. We arrived to find an empty pub. A gentleman checked our booking and told us there was no chef, no food and the owners had apparently "gone away". This after a half hour drive to get there. Speechless.

Had a lovely carvery at the Eagles Inn on Sunday. We were welcomed with a warm atmosphere and smiling faces the moment we stepped through the door. The Carvery was banging, the meat was perfect, the veg was spot on and the service just topped it off. They came and checked on us, see if we needed anymore drinks. I would reccomend this place to anyone, and we will definitely be returning. Keep up the good work team Eagles!

Lovely dinner, the rib eye steak was melt-in-your mouth with all the trimmings. Will definitely be back warm welcome & great staff

Fantastic pub, food, local banter friendly service and location, we love it here!! From the monkey hangers 🐵 be back soon😄

The waitress was lovely and the place is nice. My meat pie was good but my husbands steak was horrible. We were refunded for the steak but it spoilt the evening. I hardly ever complain but it tasted disgusting for some reason.

Great Roast Dinner and friendly staff. Thank you.

We arrived a bit close to the wire for a meal but they still did us an excellent fish and chips. Very nice ale and lager as well (Madril). Owner and bar staff were lovely. When back in Rhayader we'll go back for a meal and a drink. Might be worth phoning ahead though to book to make sure that they can accommodate you.

Great little pub with some good food and beer on tap. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Excellent stop after paddling the Upper Wye.

No food available at 7.30 pm & very average pint of Butty Bach

My wife and I were warmly welcomed by the host. Excellent quality wine and great beer. We chose fish and chips and they were beautifully cooked. Very nice pub with an extensive menu. Highly recommend.

We can here because all other places ran out by 230pm it's just of the beaten track, just short walk from the stretch which well known through road. Just walked past the crown, turned left end road it's in your right. I called 5 mins before went in to see if they had any Sunday dinners left they said yes. We went in they had put a table in the back room next to pool table. They just set it before walked in. They were both lovely and accommodating to what ever you need. We both had Sunday dinner here, both had lamb was lovely. We had the dog, so was at the back quiet which what I liked. Definitely be going again.

Great food came in 10 mins before I went in. Set table by pool table at back everywhere else sold out of Sunday Dinner if don't go for Sunday lunch literally at lunch most places are sold out. Came in here at 4pm ordered our drinks, and sat down ordered Sunday dinner and we had the last two dinners. Small dog friendly local drinkers pub friendly, and cosy.

Amazing welcome and lovely Sunday lunch for 60th Birthday celebrations. Very cosy surroundings and staff couldn’t do enough. Thanks to Tracey Wynn!

Been coming to this pub for a few years now, not a regular by any means but we always try and call in for a pint whenever we are passing through, it’s been taken over recently and they have done a lot of improvements to the pub which is great to see. The things that we love about this pub is the locals here are very friendly and they make you feel part of it as soon as you walk through the door, which is rare nowadays also the staff are really friendly as well and they also serve a lovely pint of Worthies at a good price, can’t comment on the food as we haven’t eaten here yet, would recommend this pub if you are visiting Rhayader well worth a look.

Suberb, personal booking followed by warm, friendly welcome. Fabulous home-cooked food, wines and real ales. Star of the show was Carl, thank you, though whoever looks after the kitchen is a true pro! Don't hesitate to book and enjoy this quaint, family, dog friendly pub, with top class pub-grub at decent prices. What a find! Thanks to Carl, kitchen staff, Wynn and Tracey!!!!

Nice garden seating, friendly service and good food.Close to Wye river path and camping areas and competitively priced for food.

Had a recent stay in Rhayader. I'd say the best pub we went to by far. Really nice owners and staff super friendly. Good banter with the locals. Kids had food a few days and loved it. Lovely beer garden too. Great place.... Couldn't fault it. 👍

Nice,friendly hosts,beer good.will go back and try the food in the future

Nice local pub with great beer garden with it's own bar.

We never stayed here, so i can't comment on the rooms. Had a Sunday lunch here. It was really nice. Great service and really friendly staff. Average prices for food.

Lovely pub and fab beer garden to the rear, which leads down to the river and play area.

Wonderful pub friendly welcome.. tasty food.clean environment lovely decor glad we stopped off on the way home .

Dog friendly, people friendly, good food, nice people. Would recommend the visit even if a bit off the main road

Wish we'd gone sooner. Lovely staff / service. Cracking beers and the food was fab. Little bit off the high street, but worth a visit. Fish and chips 👍

Great food and service, very friendly would highly recommend

Sunday roast was very disappointing. Basic, bland and minimal portion for the price.

Definitely the best pub in the village from a visitor point of view, had a few pints with the wife the kids had soft drink then we all had a bite to eat, we had chicken and bacon Wraps and coronation chicken wraps all were nice and reasonable priced. Staff polite and made us welcome.

Excellent food and service from this amazing little pub. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommend!

Lovely place....nice food ... friendly staff..will be back

Had drinks here inside and out in the beer garden, lovely friendly staff and also all the locals we met, like Rhayder and the Eagles very much.

Had a wonderful vegetarian roast dinner. It was so delicious and we were hungry, tired and weary. That was followed by the most scrumptious apple crumble and custard. Highly recommend

Called in for Evening meal/tea tues 18.07 and a couple of drinks. Landlord and landlady very welcoming and friendly. 🍗🍔🍟🥩Food was excellent and very reasonably priced, and the real ale was splendid.🍻 Garden is fantastic too. Would return again without question.😀.

First time visit, lovely friendly staff, dog friendly lovely beer garden, great food, will be back.

Great pie, great pizza and a lovely vibe with friendly service

Great place for a pint after a Riverside walk friendly staff

A great little pub to visit that has a good selection of alcohol beverages and food to choose from. Also dog friendly .

We popped in for a quick drink, and it was so warm and welcoming, we came back for food. The food was delicious, beer and cider well kept, wine, a good selection. But above all, this lovely little pub hidden down a small street, has the most welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The landlady is amazing, and nothing is too much trouble. An absolute gem of a pub, and in my opinion, the best in Rhayader by far.

We popped in for a quick drink while it was raining. The Butty Bach was perfect and the Land Lord and Land Lady couldn't have been more friendly. Our daughter had a little fall, and quick as a flash, the Land Lady came over with a chocolate or two to cheer her up. Really kind and thoughtful. Lovely people and a lovely place :)

Nice pub saw some white tipped eagles. Staff friendly and welcoming

Fab location and the young man behind the bar was very clued up about gluten free options on the menu. Food was served quickly and both meals were good portions and tasted great. Good value for money too.

Great beer .Lovely food Very welcoming

Very little pub a short walk from wyeside caravan park. Lovely beer garden , large meals excellent food. Lovely friendly attentive staff.

We were here last week on holiday, staff very friendly, place was very clean. Beer garden was lovely. Landlady couldn't do enough for us. Reasonably priced food & beer. Will definitely go back when in the area again

Highly recommend this pub, seems to be family run and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. They food is decent pub grub. Not expensive at all Cracking beer garden in the sun.

Lovely welcoming staff. It's had a refurb since I visited before. Good pub grub nice beer garden out the back, plus a bar. Really friendly pub.

Stopped here for food in the middle of a long car journey with the kids the service here was wonderful- so welcoming. the beer garden was lovely and enclosed too so perfect for a sunny Bank Holiday lunch

Very friendly service in a nice basic town pub. We had dinner there which was okay...not the best, not the worst, when we went in we were told that there might be a wait as all food was cooked fresh and not pulled out of the freezer or cooked in a microwave, so we had higher expectations, unfortunately when looking at the menu we found it hard to conceive how a lamb shank or beef stroganoff would be cooked fresh in 20 mins, so we took it that it meant that food is not brought in frozen but cooked in their kitchens and finished off . It was okay , good enough , but not amazing . Yes we would return , maybe only have a snack though.

Proper pub, friendly and helpful staff, food great as well, just out from centre but well within walkind distance,a visit is a must

Had a pint, friendly nice beer garden

Nice pub with garden, was very busy night we visited, was told there would be a long wait for food, so didn't stay. Gentleman inside was very helpful, didn't find outside staff so.

Nice welcoming place to stop for a beer after a walk, dog friendly.

Called and let us in 30 minutes before kitchen wad due to close the food was superb, the service was flawless

After having a bit of a naff experience in other pubs in Rhayader, we looked on Google and found The Eagle. We’ve gave them a call looking for somewhere to sit 7 of us for Lunch, with no problem at all they sorted us right out. The only reason for the missing star, was just the food was a little on the weak side, but was perfectly fine for a last minute Sunday lunch. The team are super pleasant, and very accommodating. If only all pubs could be like The Eagle, the world would be a better place. We’ll be back soon!

Friendly atmosphere, service was second to none and the Sunday roast was to die for

Last minute birthday dinner, Took a cake to suprise partner, very quiet oldy pub, very cold with back door open even though it was a sunny day, so sat down went to order drinks..partner don't drink alcohol so ....NO HOT CHOCOLATE,Oh dear, only instant..so we tryed a j20 but they only had 1 flavour oh dear, no drink then for partner🙄 The veggie lasagna ok, hunters chicken ok apart from peas were cold😬Despite this it was nice day out, as we were heading up elan valley Don't think we'll be returning though until it's more organised

Good food, fab staff, excellent atmosphere! Highly recommend.

Really nice meal and excellent staff. A few nice beers to choose from too.

We were very glad to find this place after 5 hours of walking with a now very tired dog. Nowhere else seemed to serve food after about 3pm, but we had a very friendly welcome here and an excellent meal. Just what we needed!

I can't speak to the lodging side of the Eagle, as we only ate there. The caution about them being cash only is gone, they take cards now. The food was excellent both nights we ate there. Fish and chips, chicken pie, and Sunday roast, all were very good. Hot and fresh, and the drinks were great too. While they did get rather busy, they managed to get the food out in good time as well. If you're in Rhayader and not sure where to go, you can't go wrong at the eagle.
