The George Hotel Wetherspoons in Powys

Not been in there for years but never again ordered drinks ordered wine and vodka for my stepdaughter who is 19 but does not look it miserable girl plonked the drinks on the table never said anything looked at my stepdaughter and walked off a minute later she returned again with another miserable lady looked at us walked away again then man turned up asked her for some Id showed it him then asked him why did they not ask for id first? and why did it take 3 to ask? but all we got was a grunt and walked off ; never known such miserable staff and rude in my life up set the whole day they should be sacked we don't pay good money to be rude to or insulted get yer staff sorted out or if you can't be at least pleasant to customers don't work there.

My wife and I nipped in for a quick breakfast as we were passing through, and I am so glad we did. I had the best Eggs Benedick I have every had at a Wetherspoons Bar, the eggs were perfectly cooked! My wife loved her sausage buttie too. Both staff members we dealt with were really friendly people as well!

Booked for 1 night due to meeting up with family for birthday meal. Great location. Room large, shower excellent, nice touch with bottled water, ample coffee, milk, sugar and extra's. Weatherspoons cheap for meals, drinks etc. Staff friendly and polite and dont need to check out until 11am which is great if been out later the previous night. Only thing that lets it down is no car park attached to hotel. Having said that there is ample car parks surrounding the town however not free. Recommend and stayed many times before,both in the main hotel area, and above weatherspoons.

Stayed here overnight . Initially , could not find check in area for hotel. When asked staff member , discovered it at bar at back of room. Signage was small ( A4 sized) and hidden behind rather large notice informing that 'This area is used to prepare drinks........'' and a queue of people waiting to be served at the bar. Perhaps an overhead sign would be useful? Room was spacious and well equiped. Carpet was worn and walls scraped - but since we were sleeping there it didn't bother us. Ironing board and iron in room , which was useful as we were attending a function in the town. The tea/ coffee tray was well supplied - and the inclusion of hot chocolate sachets and bottled water was appreciated. Water pressure in shower was ok, but not great. ' Caution, Hot water ' notices need to be heeded as very little adjustment required before water was scalding ! Bed was very comfortable and room quiet. Breakfast is an additional payment but reasonable and tasty.

Beautiful building and very clean. Neat and tidy outside with plenty of space. The staff seem friendly and the breakfast was excellent. They seem to care about the food and customers and that shows rather than just throwing small portions on a plate and send it out, which unfortunately seems more and more common but thankfully not here. My egg whites weren’t fully set which isn’t to my liking but other than that… brilliant

Very efficient sevice 28 August great.sevice from staff.pleasent and helpfull I cold not extra from a great saff

Horrible customer service and rude bar staff. I wouldn’t bother. The lady behind the bar was incredibly rude to my boyfriend and his mum. I wouldn’t go back if you paid me.

Had a nice drink - staff friendly. I accidentally left a postcard behind on our table and the staff were good enough to post it for me. The recipient also had love and kisses from the Weatherspoons Crew! ❤️

Haven't been to The George for about 2 years. Definitely gone downhill. The place looked really run down carpets needed a good clean, our table was sticky and chairs stained. Food was average, I ordered a med rare steak came incinerated. Staff did their best but seemed stressed.

Yr Hen Dderwen Carmarthen could learn a thing or two about this place Speedy service via the app your drink actually arrives without you having to go to the bar 20 mins after placing an order via the app Food is pretty good compared to Yr Hen Dderwen Carmarthen where again it arrives a day late Toilets were okay clean functional along with the tables clean and tidy with customers plates being taken away as soon as customer had finished eating again Yr Hen Dderwen Carmarthen take note Sorry for the comparison but I was a local at Yr Hen Dderwen Carmarhen but alas no more due to the reasons listed A pleasant welcoming experience here at The George you’ve restored my faith in cheap and cheerful Wetherspoons 👍

After all day walking the hills we decided to make our way to this weatherspoons for drinks and food. We decided to order the first round at the bar before looking at menu, we where gasping. We ordered 8 drinks, 4 soft to quench the thirst and 4 alcoholic for the 4 of us. Upon pulling one of the IPA,s the barrel ran out. My mate was told it would be 20 mins and would he like an alternative. He chose one but was told he couldn't have that because the price had to be the same as the IPA. WTF, we hadn't even paid yet. My mate was adamant he wanted to drink his choice, 2 of our party walked away from the bar because they couldn't believe the attitude of the barman. Eventually he said he had no stock of that drink, we thought he was lying. My mate then chose another to be told it was off as the pipes were being cleaned. Finally my mate got his 4th choice drink. This appalling service, by an obnoxious man put us off and we eventually dined in the Clarence round the corner. 👌 Overall The George probably lost out on a couple of hundred quids worth and we will certainly never use the place again. Tim your customer service skills are shocking.

The most miserable time in any licenced premises I have ever experienced in My 70 years on this planet. Food dreadful .With the exception of one member of staff they ALL had long faces. One actually walked away while I was in front of Her waiting to be served , the beer is ok but staff attitude is not. Tables crying out to be cleared/cleaned. Staff obviously trained in avoiding eye contact.

Had visited Brecon many times in the past but never been into their Wetherspoons (rare for us!). Right in the centre of town and it's a big one, and lovely too. Called in for morning coffee before a wander along the river. Always order on the app (easier than standing at the bar!), always quick service. Toilets upstairs (now there's a shock) and beautiful/very clean. Came back in for lunch and a pint sat in the glorious Welsh sunshine. Lots of outside seating and plenty inside separated into areas.

This Wetherspoons is one of the best. Fast service, excellent food and well kept beers. But it is the staff who always make it for me. Helpful, quick service and they are always so very cheerful and helpful. The last time I visited, I han’t stayed there for a few months, but was greeted by name, advised on food and drink options, and served swiftly by staff who went overboard to make my stay outstanding. Every Wetherspoons I visit is good. The George is outstanding. A must if you are visiting Brecon. Tim

What ever you do don't order fish and chips, honestly it was a piece of batter overcooked spot the fish ,complained and staff agreed should have never left kitchen, never seen a fish like it 🤮

I hare leaving a bad review and have never done so before but the food was so basic and presented in a truly unloved way. I had a vegan burger and it was served with some tomato and onion in a very dry bun with...

We stayed one night at the hotel. Main meal was good . The breakfast wasn't very nice. I would stay again but wouldn't bother with the breakfast

Called in for a couple of drinks and decided to stay for a meal. It's Wetherspoons, so you know what to expect. 5 scores on the doors for food hygiene. The staff were attentive at clearing and cleaning the tables. The whole place was clean,...

Firstly, it Was very busy, so I Totally understand the messy tables ect. But the food was oddly way off point for spoons. I Ordered the American burger that was basically an Iceland patty in a warbutons bun. It Was dry as they come. And...

Clean and warm dining area. Fast efficient service. Good hot food. Pleasant staff. Nice drinks. Very good value.

As Wetherspoons go pretty good. Clean where we sat. Toilets very clean. Bar staff slow, more concerned with talking to each other! Food OK. Return is possible

Has to be one of the best "Spoons" we've been too - and we've been to a few! Gorgeous building and a very well done interior, clean, friendly staff, lovely food, great location. Recommended.

Sat at No 76, had to clear table ourselves. Ordered Jalfrezis x 4 & 2 large chips . Queried portion size of chips as we thought they were small, but were told that’s the large. (Very small portion) for 4 Pound plus. Also curry was...

Had one of my special yearly trips to my favourite location of Wetherspoons in Brecon, was slightly disappointed, food was sub par but my day was saved by a man with a magnificent ginger mullet working the bar, watching it glisten in the light was...

Visited 8th with 11 family members got tables easily. Ordered on app at 5.58. Still waiting for drinks at 6.30. Meals arrived 6.45 drinks 5 mins after. No steak run out. Currys ordered arrived stone cold as did chicken. Chips on all plates cold and...

I booked a hotel room for my wedding for family members in March. I emailed a few times as I needed to change the names which was all fine and I had confirmation of this. 2 weeks later I had an email saying “Room been...

I regularly stay at this hotel, but last night they were fully booked. Possibly my fault for giving good reviews! As always, whilst price and menu options are high scorers, it’s the staff team that really makes it work. So I am greeted by name...

Popped in about 8 ish on a Friday,bar staff were quick and attentive,all areas were very busy,we managed to have a table,which was wiped quickly,the 3 plates for £15 ( pickies with a beer) were really tasty.when in the area again will defo call in.

Having visited the pub recently I was surprised to find everyone in the place sat in their coats, some wearing hats and scarves. The pub has a beautiful open fire and is surrounded with radiators yet nothing was on. Despite a number of requests to...

This was our first visit to The George and we will definitely be back. Lovely atmosphere, plenty of room, log fire, good food and very good value. The batter on my fish and chips was super crispy and the fish was white. My partner had...

So a typical Wetherspoons, a wide range of good ales at extremely affordable prices starting at £1.59 per pint. A good menu choice which is delivered to your table promptly, and is always well cooked. But what will make your experience complete is the helpfulness...

All Wetherspoons pubs are impressive for their spacious and varied layout - but The George in Brecon takes the prize for surprise ! If only we had something like this at home - lucky Brecon!

Good basic room, clean and tidy, comfortable bed and a good shower, quiet location. Close to the centre of town and with the benefit of being in a "Spoons"

Een van de grotere en dus drukkere restaurants in Brecon, maar met een heel goede prijs/kwaliteit. Ruime keuze van typisch...

Not sure whether this maybe has new management? I've been here loads. we usually call in when we've dropped off my son for something quick and good value to eat. Its usually one of the better Wetherspoons but tonight was pretty bad. Very dirty, we...

Food and drink was typically Weatherspoons, so far so good. Sat at a window next to the beer garden, looked out only to see a rat running around very near the kitchens. Told a member of staff that it had put us right off our...

Stayed for a few nights in the George, lovely pub and the rooms are in superb condition. Staff are great and the pub itself is very clean. The room we stayed in was great, bathroom was immaculate. Only issue with our stay is the parking,...

Stayed here this week in Room 2 lovely big room spotlessly clean and brilliant aircon. Only let down to this room was the entrance which was outside at back of hotel. In a small court yard backing on to local shops which had lots of...

Stayed on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and standard of the room. Perfect for our one night stay and all night parking just up the road after 6pm. Close to the centre of town and ideal for what we wanted. Drinks...

Another excellent stay. Brilliant location. This time we were in room 2 , which is outside. Room was huge , spotlessly clean . Huge towels and air-con. Very quiet, woke just before 9 am. The only thing that let it down was the courtyard outside...

Called in after struggling to find a decent place to eat in brecon. Place was full so we're all the empty tables... No one bothered to clean away the plates and glasses, had to ask some one to clean up before we sat down. Food...

Took my daughters into the Brecon weather spoons ! Tables weren’t clean struggled to find a table with no used plates pint glasses etc on . Asked a member of staff to clean the table they refused and walked off . Then it took an...

We were in having a quiet drink and were approached by one of their members of staff that had been drinking all day! He became verbally abusive tried to pick a fight . We then spoke to the manager on duty who only put the...

Considering this is a dog walking area I find it gutting no dogs can come inside or atleast outside. I don't see don't see harm outside. The food was lovely though and very quick service

Well, requested ham egg and chips, friend ordered a different meal with eggs. No eggs,what? Third day of Jubilee celebrations, no eggs? Alternative meals were ordered and were good. Service and atmosphere faultless, everyone enjoying themselves. However, first time disappointed but will return.....

Could not believe this venue has no salt. Not even when I requested that the kitchen may have some. Fish and chips without salt? Wasn't informed until after we had paid, of course. Lukewarm curry and rice and just about warm chicken. Truly awful food...

Speaks for itself , with friends , don’t even drink, turned away for no ID for a brownie, simply lovely.

Popped to Brecon for the afternoon walked the canal with husband and dog then went to witherspoons as a review on here said it was dog friendly Second prize we had sat outside husband went in to get drinks we weren’t actually sat in the...

Excellent pub and food and service thankyou,had great value wine and food was superb,thankyou will be visiting again soon

Have visited The George on many occasions, when in Brecon. So disappointed to visit today to be greeted with many dirty tables, waiting to be cleared. Found one which didn’t have used dishes on, but had to ask for a cloth to clean it, which...

Booked a 2 night stay Price was very reasonable for mid week in the Easter Holidays Parking easily accessible and reasonable Room is small cosy comfortable and stylish Very clean Food and drinks were the best - couldn't fault anything Staff were efficient courteous and...

Had a breakfast here a week or so ago, never been a lover of Wetherspoons but I was lacking options this morning. Got myself a large breakfast whilst doing some paperwork, service was very friendly and for the first time ever in my experience the...

Just called in for a few pints! Their Rhymney Export was fantastic! Always keep their beers tip top here! Perhaps they could advise the Aberdare Spoons how to keep a decent pint!

We went to the George hotel for lunch, I decided on the Wiltshire ham, eggs and chips. The ham was see through the chips were cold and the eggs were over cooked and cold. If as a chef you can’t cook ham eggs and chips...

Met up with friends for breakfast before a look around Brecon craft fair. Good hearty breakfast very tasty with unlimited tea and coffee refills.

Room was clean and tidy bed comfortable but on the small side staff were helpful and welcoming try to get a room at the front as we had a rear room with no views whatsoever

Can’t fault it really, good service, good food and friendly service. Used the app to order our food/ drinks which easy. Chicken burger with fries and roast chicken was tasty. The pub/restaurant was clean and there was plenty of space to sit. Toilets were clean...

Had a small mixed grill coz large out of stock, all the meat over cooked and black. Wife had steak and cooked to beond belife. Daughter had lemon chicken. Looked good but terribly cooked . Best thing about the meal was child's ice cream only...

Went in for something cheap to eat and a couple of drinks. Unfortunately the food was terrible., chargrilled chicken that had only seemed to have seen the inside of a microwave and nowhere near a grill. The staff appeared disinterested so I didn’t bother to...

My wife and I decided to eat here, we both had the large mixed grill, it was nice but the pork was too overcooked it was tough, the staff are friendly, we will eat here again.

Visited today for lunch. Lovely Christmas atmosphere and decorations. Great choice of food and so spacious there, it was great to be able to socially distance. Food was delivered quickly, 2 breakfasts and one seasonal turkey, stuffing and cranberry ciabatta. Everyone in the group of...

Visited on a family trip to South Wales. The food was really average, not hot enough and pretty tasteless. Family of 3 ete and drank for £23 so not expected too much for this money, however, it could have been hot and not just warm....

Lovely place. Great food and great service. Well done. Will be returning. Enjoyed the happy banter 👏

Visited recently and again difficult to find due to one way system but parking public car park behind the hotel. Rooms ok but feel the hotel ready for refurbishment. Prices for food and drink was reasonable and the food was very nice.

Stayed for a night and was very pleased. The room was large, very well equipped, lots of sockets, iron and board and lots of lights. The bed was very large and comfortable, the spacious bathroom had a walk-in shower. It was quiet which is good...

The staff were friendly and welcoming, atmosphere was busy, the food was warm and well presented. Great value for money!

Visited here for lunch but disappointed that half the menu was out because a fryer wasn’t working. Can’t be helped but left with extremely minimal menu. Saying that the food was hot, plenty of it and extremely cheap. Beef madras and chicken tikka masala both...

I was a bit nervous going into a Wetherspoons as I haven’t been anywhere since the pandemic, the food was ok, the staff polite, but the floor & table hadn’t been cleaned so I cleaned it myself don’t think I would go back.

Decided to have the tikka masala but it was not heated through. Naan bread also stone cold and hard like it was stale. I asked for another naan bread and it was exactly the same as the first!! Kitchen staff need to up their game....

We had a delicious meal here in the heart of Brecon. The food is extremely good value as are the drinks. I had a gourmet sirloin steak which included a sauce and a drink for around £11 and it was cooked perfectly and served very...

We always visit Wetherspoon’s wherever we are and as a rule they are pretty decent. Sadly, this one wasn’t up to scratch. The staff were friendly enough but several tables were left uncleared for quite a while until the staff got their act together. There...

Do you know what ! Many restaurants make claim to be so good without ever being so good. “The George” is what it is …..and it’s absolutely fantastic ! The pizzas are out of this world for the price ( just ask for for crispy)...

Starters come out with food! So obviously food was cold time we ate it . I had a burger which wAs so dry you could have thrown it at the wall and it would have bounced back off . My partner had a chargrilled mixed...

Great service, which was nice and quick. The meals we had here were great quality and well described. Vast menu to choose from and great refillable coffee

Had a wonderful overnight stay at The George in Brecon. Duty Manager was very helpful. Room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Stayed in many hotels and have to say this was incredible value for money. Will definitely be staying again. Breakfast was also very good.

My Wife and I called on for a few soft drinks after spending hours in the area in 100* heat! I had shirt wide open to cool off, and a Staff member (a ringer for Harry Potter) told me to button my shirt. Obviously he...

Came in here for a bite to eat with family. Ordered on the app as stated. The all day brunch came out with no chips and had to be sent back it was cold. The fish and chips had no peas on it they were...

A worker by the name of Joey called one of the members of my group a slag, which is absolutely disgraceful

We booked last minute, to be honest as it was such a good deal, we weren't expecting much. How wrong we were. We had an absolutely fabulous room, spotless, beautifully decorated with a huge comfy superking size bed and glorious walkin shower. ( Room 2)...

We both had the small breakfast, it was ok, the baked beans could’ve been warmer but overall ok. The staff were friendly, would eat here again.

I booked a room here at the last minute for my son and I. Then I read the reviews which made me worried about what we were in for! However my experience was 100% positive. The room was spacious, immaculately clean and very comfortable. Although...

Encouraged to order on the app . 3 of us ordered and paid for the large mixed grill. When it arrived the food meat was cold. Then we noticed that the onion rings were missing. We were told by the waiter that we had ordered...

Called in for dinner. Even with COVID restrictions in place there was still plenty of availability. What can you say about the food....... It’s a Wetherspoons so cheap good sized portions of pub food! We used the app to order and pay which although a...

I still can’t believe how dirty this place was, I have pictures to prove it. I have been in this restaurant years ago and was fabulous when it wasn’t run by weatherspoon group. Horrible food, you have to call the waiting staff to clean the...

If you think this place is dire, you should visit the Aberdare Wetherspoons! Even under the present situation the glasses are dirty, people wandering around like zombies, coughing, no mask on! At lease The George is COVID conscious! It’s well run in difficult times and...

Called in today for some lunch, wish I hadn't bothered. Order wrong, sent it back, food cold. Thought it was because I had sent it back but no, my mums meal also cold. Overcharged and clearly not popular for complaining. Lesson learnt, no more wetherspoon...

Stayed here for 6 nights whilst Walking in The Brecon Beacons as a party of 5. If you want to come here for a romantic stay with your partner this is not the hotel for you. It is a typical Wetherspoons establishment- Comfortable and clean...

Went in to my local wetherspoons for breakfast this morning ,total nightmare every thing was cold ,nobody asked us if everything was ok ,the table next to us complained and got a very rude ok for the girl . We signed on the covid app...

Cold food, refused to take back due to covid. When we said that we would of sent it back due to it being cold he said we couldn't because of covid. Had refund and left. Never again!!

As per the direction now with COVID, we were met at the front door and given the low down for this establishment by a friendly member of staff. We found our own table and ordered our food and drinks. Food was good warm and tasty....

I stayed here for two nights. My room looked very recently refurbished. It was spotlessly clean with enormous towels, and unlimited hot water. TV, kettle etc and biscuits in the room. I was able to control the temperature and there was a heated towel rail. I was in room 5 and the WiFi did not reach, but it was available in the rest of the hotelBreakfast was normal Wetherspoons food, cheap and tasty. The App for ordering food worked fine.I felt very Covid secure. This experience has made me consider stopping in other Wetherspoons hotels

We called in for something to eat and drink. The food and drink were really good. My only gripe was the food could of been served hotter. It was all tasty and we will return to the pub. Staff were all friendly and social distancing was maintained.

Sad to say not a good experience one of our meals was very poor and the staff response was very dismissive. The manager followed up and was professional which was a positive.

Wanted to grab a quick, cheap and cheerful breakfast during our 3 day stay in Brecon.We had heard Wetherspoons breakfasts were good value.We ordered 2 x breakfast wraps, a bacon sandwich and a bowl of porridge and 2 rounds of toast between 4 of us.The wraps were ok.However the bacon sandwich bread was stale (it felt toasted) but it wasn't browned like toast....?They had run out of honey for the porridge, and the porridge was luke warm and clotted like cement and very stodgy.Toast was barely warm and the butter didn't even melt into the bread.Kind of a disaster (we had a much better breakfast at Morrisons in Brecon).Its a big pub but the social distancing layout is daft, you queue for the coffee machines across the queue for the bar so essentially 2 queues are barging into each other.Won't be rushing back to this one.

As Wetherspoons go it's spot on, love the outside seating area. Good prices, wide selection of drinks and staff are friendly.

Really lovely building and nicely decorated, lots of outside seating to enjoy food and drinks in the sunshine. The only slight negative is the fact that whilst encouraged to order via the app, the food arrived and was eaten before our drinks arrived (I had to go to the bar and collect).To be fair to them they only had one member of staff covering the bar orders and delivering to the tables. They were very apologetic and friendly.Didn't stop me having a few more drinks but didn't order via the app.

Brilliant stay clean and quiet room. We barely paid to eat as was eat out to help out. Table had partitions. Room was immaculate would stay again. Brecon itself was lovely .

We have just come home after having food here. The staff have the setup working well at these difficult times. But and a big but the food was cold. The only thing that was hot was my Grandsons pizza. I know it was busy but how hard is it to work a microwave and serve up hot chips. It was very disappointing.

What can I say we called in on my wife's' birthday . I order the large mixed grill which came with tepid chips all the meat over cooked and the fried egg on top looked like it had been resting on the beach in the mid day sun . My wife's food wasn't much better and my friends gammon was not that impressive . Even the Eat out to Help Out Deal didn't compensate for how poor the standard of the cooking was for our meals I have to say that looking at other peoples food which did look better presented . I admit I didn't complain at the time as it was the wife's birthday and didn't want to upset her but looking back I should have sent the meals back . They really need to have someone looking at the meals before sending them to the table and that the presentation and quality of the cooking is up to scratch . Normally you know what you're going to get in a Wetherspoons but this is not what we expected .Very disappointed . On the upside the staff are doing a good job in respect of the social distancing and plenty of hand gel available during this time .

Always take geandkids here .quick service lovely steak reasonably priced. Toilets are immaculate. Deserts are lush kids love it here
