The Globe at Hay in Powys

Really great Open mic nights, great DJ parties and hot chocolate cakes and all dribks available!

Really lovely evening with Boci and Anna Anise

Great night out to see Luke Jackson. Lovely place. Nice staff.

Burgers where amazing, I would highly recommend the hoisin duck & burger

Hands down the best burger I've had.... the staff are lovely and natural as well, definitely be going back for an evening meal

Lovely little venue in Hay on Wye. Has a cafe Pictures of my favourite band Saint Senara

Very nice and cosy. Recommended 👍

tranquil, lovely staff, perfect capucino and WiFi

Great venue really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff

Interesting place, although we came only briefly there, as we came to the restaurant downstairs, which was great :)

Really nice burgers, staff happy to help when our order got a bit mixed up. Shut early so we ended up being the last ones in at 8, no pressure to leave but felt a bit flat towards the end of the meal.

Lovely, really enjoyed our time there.

Amazing place, love it here, great food, great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful!

Stopped for lunch and had the best burgers ever!

Great little venue, went for the live music and DJ set in the 4th March. Brilliant night, busy, as its small, with a bar and food. Great atmosphere too.

Lovely area, went for a Burger and came feeling rather satisfied. Overall pretty good.

Wish I stayed for the music. Had dinner and tried something I wouldn't normally, and it was delicious. Staff were fantastic and very accommodating!

The Globe at Hay is a fantastic venue. A consistently stellar lineup of performing artists are onstage year round. Also a host venue for the How The Light Gets In Festival, The Globe also engages in collaborative projects with local community members. In addition The Globe is great place to stop by for a good cup of coffee and boasts a fabulous lunch and dinner menu.

Great place, lovely vibe, a nice big outside and a quirky and fun inside, great price for drinks and the food looked amazing

Great use of this old house. Lovely setting...

Great beer garden, but very expensive and they have no draught beer, ales or cider, just bottles

Love love love it food was delicious music great lovely way to end the evening.

Food was poor, burgers were a sloppy mess the buns were super soggy. Chips were stingy in quantity and seasoning.

If you are looking for a venue for a wedding then this is the place to go. From initial discussions to service on the day I cannot fault the team nor the food. So many of our guests commented on the quality and portions of all three courses and the evening buffet. A massive thank you to Mary for helping make our day that extra special. Not one of our guests didn't enjoy themselves.

HowTheLightGetsIn Festival once-a-year 4-day event is based here. An excellent event for stimulating the mind!

Glorious guest at a wedding, loved it.

Incredible chips and great vegan options. Staff were welcoming and friendly. However be careful in the music venue as I was overcharged multiple times for drinks. Charged for a double after ordering a single. Charged for two doubles when recieving a double and a single. I imagine they make a lot of money this way.

Easter bunny was there to greet the children and an easter egg hunt. Friendly staff and menu looked good but didn't eat but looked reasonably priced

A lovely venue with plenty going on. Excellent burgers!

Lovely small venue it's like being in your own front room with entertainment

Wonderful place to watch my favourite group the Roving Crows in a lovely relaxed atmosphere with a great burger menu together with a pleasant garden to sit and enjoy a drink

Really nice pleasant venue to watch the roving crows last night.

Great food and atmosphere, plus live music and open mic nights.

What a great night. Friendly staff will definitely go again

Food and drink were very good. Reasonably priced.

Blue cheese burger and halloumi fries were out of this world. Super friendly staff.

Fab service in a lovely space. The burgers and fries were great too! A perfect place to escape some heavy rain showers in October.

For what it is, a quaint cafe during the day and theatre at night, it is a lovely unusual place to come to for coffee and not as packed as all the cafes in the town centre Hay-on-Wye. It has a licensed bar, home made cakes and light snacks. Glad we came.

We were walking along the Wye River and stopped for lunch at the Globe. A warm welcome friendly service, great burgers and beers (there were other dishes) and sat under the pear tree in the sunny autumn garden. Fantastic......

Nice large garden area. Highly recommend the brownies!!

My daughter chose The Globe at Hay on Wye for her wedding venue. It was a beautiful choice. The wedding venue was wonderfully decorated, all of the staff, from the bar staff to the restaurant staff and the wedding planners were so hard working and very helpful. There is a spacious garden area, and as the day was quite warm, it was super to be able to mix outside with other guests. The food served was of an excellent standard and such generous portions. It was truly a day to remember made all the more so by the beautiful settings provided at The Globe.

Gorgeous spot for a burger and a Butty Bach.

A short walk away from the book shops in the centre and a peaceful outdoor seating area. Felt very covid safe. We sat in the garden but plenty of eclectic seating inside over two floors. Food menu is small but we were very happy with our meals and service.

Good food. Good, polite and friendly service. Our dog was allowed in the upstairs part which was very comfortable. Coffee was excellent.

Excellent!! Quite simply the very best Chicken Caesar Salad I have EVER had! Complete with anchovies and a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg. Very efficient young waitress made the whole experience worthy of a 5🌟review. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Our food took 2 hours to arrive. I ordered the vegetarian bean burger and it was black. Will not be returning

Always interesting. Good food and drink

Great food and service, we'll be back!

Fab meal at the Globe. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Excellent find. Not what we expected as it is part of the theatre I believe so unusual surroundings and layout for an evening out but don't be put off.. It has a fully stocked bar and excellent food. The menu is quite limited with burgers, salad and steak but the quality of food was way beyond this and staff were great too. Very polite, attentive and keen to help. Highly recommended

We went for a quiz, lovely atmosphere! Will be back.

Great open mike afternoon Sunday 19th September, most enjoyable music, really tasty food, sensational service under trying (Covid) circumstances, thanks guys!

The food here is always fantastic! Good quality and value :) Had delicious felafel today but Sunday brunch is also a treat! Will be back again soon.

Great music from local talent. Managed extremely well with safety in mind during these unusual circumstances.

Staff were lovely and welcoming. Sitting outside in the garden was lovely as well. However, we booked brunch and waited 40 minutes, when the food came it was all cold and the egg was overcooked. Looking at previous reviews, this may be uncharacteristic but we did not feel it was value for money.

Lovely cup of coffee.. friendly staff great service.

A big asset to the town of Hay on Wye, this is a fantastic intimate venue which hosts a wide variety of events, it's like a mini theatre in the round really with a stage, lighting system and a good sound system. There's a bar too and a good restaurant downstairs. Lots of regular events and one of specials. The Globe definitely adds much to the artistic nature of Hay on Wye

The food is exquisite it blows me away every time. Why this place is not pack out every night is beyond me. We go with friends & it's always a fun night, we just order one of everything & dig in. Have not eaten anything I didn't love & all cooked in Front of diners. It suits meat eaters & vegitarians & this young chef never disappoints. Don't take my word try it!!!

It's uncharacteristic of Hay to have such great food and especially at such great prices as an added bonus. The front of house staff are eaqaully as good. If I could find one fault with the globe, its that it's not where I live so I can't visit more often. A must for anyone visiting this charming town.

This is one of our favourite venues: great atmosphere, superb sound (what a soundman!), friendly bar staff, attentive audience, and some really good musicians playing. Go the Hay Globe, you won't be disappointed :-)

Booked prior to jazz evening and were both blown away by standard of food. Described as small plates of food ( bigger than tapas) which you pick from a select menu. We had 4 plates between 2 of us which was plenty. Quality would not have been out of place in a Michelin starred restaurant. Maybe we were lucky but I suspect not. Atmosphere very relaxed and waitress helpful and quick. Totally unpretentious and up there with some of the best meals we have had.

food good price good charming staff relaxing surroundings a must if your in hay-on-wye very clever chef

Nice craft fair on when I visited, various events on through the year.Good coffee bar.

A fantastic venue with an interesting history. Live music, club nights, workshops, cafe, restaurant. Venue can be hired at a very reasonable price. There is a late licence available if requested in advance. Staff were fantastic, really helpful and understanding. I will definitely be returning! Thanks to Beth, Bill, Becky and the rest of the team for making our event a success!

If you haven't had the chance to pay The Globe at Hay a visit yet, make sure you do next time your in town. It's only a 5 min walk - max - from the town centre and if every other place in town is stuffed full of people (as I was during the Hay Winter Festival), you'll be glad to know about this slightly tucked away gem. Fabulous venue, lovely staff, great coffee, comfy seating and the food is pretty amazing, too.

Really nice venue with live music and acts. Bottled beers are very expensive but standard spirits and a mixer are reasonably priced. And the best thing is they have ginger beer on tap and a good selection of spirits. I would go back and would like to try their food

So, on a damp squid Sunday we found ourselves kicking our heels in Hay-On-Wye. We had one of the best veggie breakfasts ever here at the Globe. The staff were lovely and top marks to the chef. Absolutely fantastic. Laurence & Rose

Great venue. Fabulous evening at Mark Harrison.

Fabulous venue! Loved several events and also enjoyed playing there. Extremely well run.

Exquisite beautifully presented food. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service.We went as a group of 4 and shared the plates, each plate was delicious and a work of art, this young chef can seriously cook. The deserrts are to die for so be sure to try them. Check out the Christmas small plates menu, we will defiantly be going for that.

We recently decided to go and sample the small plates at The Globe. We have been to the Glove before for food and it has always been excellent however this new menu is exceptional. The small plates are both affordable and delicious, in particular I loved the deep fried chicken, so much so I didn't stop talking about it for the whole night! The service was also excellent, attentive whilst not over bearing. Massive compliments to head chef Billy Trigg, we will definitely be returning soon!

Experimental, seasonal cooking, exquisitely put together in super generous portion sizes ! The value for money is almost hard to believe. Seriously creative cheffing !!

An ok pub but more for people that want to get drunk and youngsters.

What a lovely place!! food was excellent, staff really friendly. A quiet corner of Hay, to sit, chat, eat and ponder for sure. Interesting building and good use of the space-some beautiful artwork and great venue for celebrations.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere, highly recommended. I’m local to the area and I would say at the moment this would be the preferred place to eat. The price is very right and the quality of food is excellent, unique tastes which you don’t replicate at home.

Ok if you’re an arty type but not our cup of tea. We went to see a folk-rock singer who plays the sort of music you get up and dance to but the audience just sat there clapping politely after each song. It felt as though we were sitting at home watching tv. The staff are nice but the drinks are expensive although there is a barrel of iced water with lemon slices on the bar that you can help yourself to for free. Toilets are a bit whiffy and you have to go down a very steep wooden staircase to access them.

Great place, different type of menu with amazing tasty food. Service good, friendly staff. Fitted us in last minute. Really enjoyed, will be returning

Excellent food. Interesting menu. V friendly service. Good value. Central location. Free music concerts.

I payed an unexpected visit to the globe today for lunch! I have to say that it was fabulous! Really delicious! Great value for money. Why have I not been before!

Little jewel - exceptional chef and great value brunch. Enjoyed Sunday morning Lego club upstairs with the kids while we waited for our table. Looking forward to feasting on some of the cultural offerings some time soon.

Open Mic night is fun for those with a creative flair

Visited at lunch today with an old friend who lives in Barcelona with his Spanish wife. In the past she has been less than enthusiastic about food in town. She was however really really impressed (as were we all) by the delicious new lunch menu. The small sharing plates are a splendid idea. Fresh local food, creatively prepared. The chef who has been there for about a year has transformed the Globe Kitchen into a high quality but reasonably priced eatery. Highly recommended.

Went to crafter weekend not to bad xx

Great location, vibrant atmosphere. Fab night out.

We had a wonderful evening meal here - so good, in fact, that we came back the next day for Sunday brunch. The menu was interesting and the food was beautifully cooked. We also liked being able to see into the kitchen. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff were efficient, accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious and ample portion, filling and gourmet at the same time. Wholeheartedly recommend.

It is a lovely venue with a garden and had a buffet which was very good and very friendly staff. A bar with a good bottle beer range

A pleasant person serving at the cafe but I bought a pint of flavoured cider which tasted like flat squash with no alcohol. When I took it back the young man refused to change it. At £4 a pint this was an expensive drink of squash. Short sighted really as this is not good customer service and does not encourage anyone to go back

A wonderful, quirky venue for my daughter's wedding. We were able to decorate the room, and then enjoyed an intimate ceremony. The staff were helpful. The canapes and fizz were really good and plentiful. The outside is gorgeous for photos, as is the town. Loved it 😍

Fine if your into that sort of thing. wasn't really my cup of tea

Brilliant open mic on a Tuesday. Cosy and friendly.

I attended the weekly Open Mic event at this great location. Not knowing what to expect, I was impressed by the way the old Chapel has been adapted. There is a cute, well-stocked bar on entry, spotlights to the stage, very comfy long pews with cushions around the sides, tables and chairs in the centre, a proper stage and a top-of-the-range PA. Bill, the sound engineer is spot-on, using an iPad to control the different inputs and achieving a good balance. Chris Bradshaw is mein host, and organises the performances well with a nice bit of banter with audience and artistes. The quality of the performances the night I was there was superb. Everyone was very friendly and there was a super atmosphere of acceptance and positivity. Definitely one of the best open mics and venues in the area in my humble opinion.

we came on a saturday night before the music and everything was done just right. the burger was balanced perfectly the chips were crispy and i loved the slaw.

Called in for an impromptu lunch with a friend and enjoyed an excellent meal. Decided to try the vegetarian selection which was absolutely perfect. Fresh, inventive, tasty, excellent value and good portions meaning neither of us cleaned our plates as we were so full....it was hard to relinquish, but we were defeated.

Lovely location, a hub of talent

Very rude and unhelpful sales person on the till @How the light gets in festival Waterfront Bar And Kitchen

The most fun way to discover new ideas and thinkers.

Went in on Saturday during the festival with my son .Lovely place beautifully decorated. Lovely staff table straight away fish and chips excellent. My sons burger was apparently yummy ! Thanks for a lovely meal

Amazing place to learn and grow

Good food, great atmosphere, lovely upstairs.
