The Greyhound Hotel in Powys

Spent the weekend at the hotel, friends of ours where getting married and had booked the whole hotel. Arrived on Friday afternoon met in the cosy, well stocked bar a good range of drinks on tap. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Rooms clean and tidy very well looked after. Breakfast was very tasty and filled me up, nothing was a problem for the staff.After the wedding back to the hotel where the food was delicious,no complaints from none of the wedding guests. Sunday morning again a great breakfast. All in all a great weekend at a great hotel.Would definitely recommend and visit again if in the area.

Six of us stayed here in March, had a good stay and were offered a price of £80 per room for a return so I booked the triple. Also offered was a choice of five or six differnt menu options (this was to get us to stay as we would be drinking lots of beer) There was only curries and chilli on the night and only one draught beer. When it came to pay I was charged £130 for the room I and a couple of mates stayed in. Most galling was that the room was £117 on another site. The owner reneged on the agreement and although she said she would `be in touch`. She hasn`t and has not replied to my e mails or texts. If you insist on staying here get the price in writing! We won`t be returning.

We went here for Sunday lunch which we assumed was a carvery, we were told that lunch was beef which was fine and was served straight from the kitchen. A sort time later another party arrived and they were offered beef and chicken!!! The meal was served in a timely manner and was of good quality apart from the Yorkshire pudding which was like cardboard. The meal was priced right for what meal was.

We called here on the way to our holiday destination on Friday evening. We were warmly welcomed and were told that they served food. Delicious it was too. Cottage pie and vegetables for me. My husband really enjoyed his chicken, ham and leek pie accompanied by some chips which I can vouch tasted delicious. We thought we had come to a pub but it is a hotel. It wasn’t very busy so if you are in the area I suggest that you call in.

Six friends , we stayed here while playing local golf courses. Excellent , helpful hosts who run this popular business in the town. A well stocked bar has one or more local ales on , Butty Bach and Wye valley HPA, darts and pool table too. Newly decorated and refurbished rooms made the stay perfect. Good wholesome meals for breakfast and evening meal.

Six of us stayed here as part of a golf tour of three courses in the area. What a find! The staff are very friendly (thank you to Jane especially) and helpful, the beer is good, as is the food with plenty of choice for an evening meal. Breakfast was excellent. The rooms are comfortable, clean with tea/coffee making facilities and strong Wi-Fi. A pool table, dart board and board games are available. I thoroughly recommend the Greyhound. We will be back......

Went to Greyhound Hotel with family who came home for Christmas. After we ordered our food the waitress came and told us half of our order wasn't available. We were told chips were homemade but they tasted like frozen chips. The food came in a reasonable time but wasn't over hot. The bar lady was obviously listening to our conservation and piped on a couple times and was very load.

A group of us 9 used the Greyhound hotel for a mini golf break of 3 days to the builth area yes parts of interior need work and we are led to believe this is being done sometime BUT the Food Bar etc and comfortable beds made up for that wide range of choices for food all delicious staff extra friendly and made us feel welcome will certainly be returning next year thanks to jane and vicki and all staff super

Weekend away for 2. We were greeted by the staff on arrival and the young lady (I use that term specifically becasue if you think that you're being served by children you're just getting old) was lovely and even offered to have our bag taken taken the room. She reserved a table for dinner and greeted us again at the bar when we came back down. .Good selection of beer. Food was great both in the evening and the breakfast. Do go here for food. Its all freshly cooked and of a very good standard. The room was clean and tidy. A little dated but what do you want for the price they are charging. It was comfy and did the job. Was worth what we paid and we couldn't ask for more. We would definitely go back. Thanks to the staff and owners who did a great job of making us feel welcome and giving us a good weekend.

Came with friends, arrived and was told there was a 40 mins wait which was fine with us all, waited 45 minutes before they came and took our order then once they took the order they came out multiple times and told us they had run out of some of our food, then people who had ordered after us had their food and had the last of what would have been our food order but they prioritized other people orders and then our food came at 9.40pm for a couple of people in my group to have to send their food back because it was the wrong order. Honestly DO NOT BOTHER going here unless you want a less than satisfactory dining experience.

Good pub within a hotel. Very nice staff and great choice of food. I took squid fritters and fish and potato pie and they were very good. Also the dishes chosen by my friends had a great aspect. And huge portions! The price is good and the service fast.

Delicious meal, there were lots of options, including daily specials. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well.

Great hotel. Spotlessly clean. Superb welcome. Fantastic food. Couldn't have asked for more. The young lady that greeted us and lead the front of house team through the evening was friendly and helpful as we're the rest of the staff. Evening meal was lovely with plenty of selection. Breakfast was great and just enough woth plenty of toast if you wanted it. Great place to stay for the price. We will be back.

The limited menu that was actually available varied from OK to poor but the place was in a post Jubilee daze. It could easily be much better however and the prices are keen.

Lovely staff, good range of drink and food offered and very accommodating when busy. We had a couple of meals and the quality was excellent.

My husband and I was looking for a place to eat after travelling and after reading good reviews thought we would try this place. However, on arrival we didn't get the welcome vibe from staff and was promptly told to sit at a table between...

Great place to stay ,friendly staff great breakfast with buffet cereals and fruit followed by a freshly cooked breakfast of your choice. The room was clean with a really comfy bed and a great shower. Plenty to keep us occupied in the bar with satellite...

3 rd visit and just gets better and better. Jayne and her daughter are wonderful hosts and Vicky the chef is a real charmer. Great food comfy beds, hot shower and a cracking breakfast. A group of rowdy golfers made to feel special thanks, thanks...

Great hospitality and very helpful staff. Food was excellent too. Enjoyed a beer and evening meal and the breakfast was superb. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again when in the area.

I've been staying at the Greyhound periodically now for five years, its nice to see the new owners continue with the friendly welcoming service, offering simple accommodation and food, all great value for money, will be back soon.

Stopped off for lunch. Staff friendly and helpful. Food good. Ham egg and chips excellent. Glamorgan sausage less exciting but as said in other reviews, the best chips I've had for ages.

Friendly service, and excellent value. Proper pub-grub - my burger was excellent, and the best pub chips I've had for ages. There's nothing gastro-pub about the place, no pretensions, ordinary decor - but if yiou want a great pub meal, I'd recommend it

A really friendly hotel with great food too for breakfast and dinner. Whilst the room may need a little update it was exceptionally clean and presented. The whole hotel is clean and tidy, a nice bar area too and if the weathers ok a nice...

Waiting forever for food mixed up order no music at all Useless place had to send back one meal as could not cut it up at all

Went for lunch with mum. Two lunch menu's to choose from both under £5 we chose from the specials and had the scampi chips and side salad.For the money it was delicious and plenty. Nice decor. Would go back, evening meals choice's look good.

We had supper here on two nights whilst walking the Wye Valley Walk in late Sept, on the recommendation of our Guest House proprietor. We very much enjoyed the traditional pub food, the staff were friendly and helpful, and service was prompt.

Guest House proprietor recommended this public house for traditional pub food in the evening. The staff were friendly and provided good, well-cooked food and an efficient service. We were on a motorcycling touring trip via Mid Wales to the west Country. The menu was limited...

Great Inn with decent rooms nice and clean and pretty good food came with a Golf Group, great staff also.

This place was recommended by our guesthouse owners, and we did try to book for our first night. They were very apologetic that due to a large group, 15+, dining, they wouldn't be able to accommodate us that evening. So we booked for a different...

Food and hospitality was fantastic. Ali (the owner) came out of the kitchen for a chat, which was fantastic. Even though COVID-19 restrictions still in place in Wales, all was good at this superb hotel.

Stayed last night. Comfortable, clean room, comfy bed. Very good evening meal. Black pudding and bacon starter is excellent. First class breakfast. Excellent value. Will come again.

Now we're talking. You cannot go a lot wrong with this on the menu, kicking in at a very reasonable £4.99. Fair to say that the pubs in Buith can be something of a mixed bag. However this is a very friendly venue. Clean and tidy, good range of beers, friendly locals and if you go on a Saturday lunchtime you get to meet the charming Louise who runs the bar that day (and have faggots and peas).Definitely one to try out!

Nice warm welcome and good beer, let down a bit by the food, it's standard pub grub which is fine but if you are doing specials, make them special, had the bangers and mash nice idea but very ordinary sausages. Good butchers in Builth Wells so artisan produce would make the difference

Excellent meal, nothing to much trouble. The pub was warm with a lovely fire and the whole place was very clean, and staff all helpful

Didn't stay here but would consider next time I'm up at the Royal Welsh Showground. Ate here on the Monday night and the meal was superb. Had the Fillet Steak off the Specials board, about 3 inches thick and cooked how I like it, rare but not bloody. Trimmings with it, mushrooms, onion rings etc were lovely. Possibly the best steak I have eaten in many a long time. Staff were excellent and couldn't have been more helpful. Big plus, Monday night is the time Builth Wells Male Voice Choir practice here, if like me you are a lover of this type of music they let you go upstairs this ten and watch. Heaven!Highly recommended

Good service and prices despite having an electrical crisis in the kitchen Ceaser salad with chicken was excellent.

The hotel and bar are great, very helpful and welcoming. But at breakfast the older lady that cooked the breakfast was very rude and out of order. we came down and picked up the food we wanted and myself and my friend picked up 2 sausages. Then the lady come up to us and was not impressed that we had picked up 2 sausages and was huffing and puffing at us. Then another person who was in the breakfast area drop a sausage on the floor and was left on the floor for about 15 minutes then when the women chef come back out she picked the sausage that was on the floor and placed it back into the tray where all the fresh sausages were. it made me feel sick that someone would do that and she had no respect for us.

At the very end of the high street with parking a bit difficult to find round the back... it was fairly busy on a midweek night. Locals came in to watch TV and there was some sort of Green Eco meeting going on upstairs...which we were invited to join by some friendly soul? The food was the usual pub food .but the service was good and a friendly waitress made sure it was to our liking. Chilli Con Carne was middle of the road not too hot, not too many beans! Fillet steak was good if a bit expensive .presentation could have been better? We didn’t have a pudding but the Capucine Coffee was quite tasty, made with some arabica beans advertised Well supported by the locals which is always a good sign. Nice easygoing atmosphere. , friendly land lord. Think they may have hotel rooms , not.sure there was not much evidence of that. Free Wi-fi available with easy connection! Pleasant evening.

Food here was recommended, and despite a bit of a frosty reception when we arrived initially from front of house (without a reservation), a lovely couple who had just finished their meal offered us their table. Their steak and ale pie was outstanding and possibly the tastiest meal I have ever eaten! The lovely lady chef was out to meet the customers too - I'm only kicking myself that I didn't ask her for the recipe!!

Absolutely lovely place!! The staff were really welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough for you! The food was delicious and presented very well. Drinks are very reasonably priced and a brilliant selection to choose from. It was very busy but the atmosphere was brilliant and service was never slow! The whole place just came across really clean and professional! Will definitely be visiting again!!

A really welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from the moment I entered. Friendly staff and delicious food all reasonably priced. The staff were more than happy to accommodate anything I needed and I’d definitely go back!!

A long day on the saddle was followed by arrival at the Greyhound hotel. A good atmosphere, good food, andgood company. Exhaustion took over. The staff were fantastic. Drove me and one other back to the local hotel where we were staying. Help above and beyond what spec. I highly recommend this wonderful place.

Good pub food, great beers. They were very kind to us as some very exhausted and not very clever cyclists allowing us to leave our bike with them overnight and drove us to our hotel up the road.

Although they were very busy and managed to fit us in with some friends, so we should have been grateful, we did not have a good experience. My dish - simple salmon steak - was undercooked so red and raw inside. I commented on this and the waitress simply said, 'sorry about that'. THe vegetables were very dry and there was no sauce. A friend asked for three scoops of icecream and got three bowlfuls. Coffee was unavailable as the machine was switched off at 3pm. This was an evening meal! The waitresses seemed out of their depth and the bar and kitchen seemed not to be communicating. All very strange, and not what you'd expect from what must be a popular and well-frequented hostelry.

I booked for a meal for four people 24hrs earlier, very nice person took my booking for an agreed time of 7.15pm. Arrived on the day at the time and was told in an aggressive manner by a female (I'm sure that it wasn't the one I made the booking with) so rude it was embarrassing to think she was in the customer service business. Made a point of showing us the bookings (written in pencil, I wonder why!!) to prove a point. When we left I checked my phone and the number of the Greyhound and it was one and the same.

Visited last Saturday evening for a bite to eat with a business colleague as I was staying at the Caer Beris who had recommended heading here for a good quality meal

Have eaten here for the past few years whilst attending the showground and have always been more than satisfied. However, over two consecutive nights we, as a group, were not entirely happy with our meals. Both nights there were various problems that were dealt with less than satisfactorily. Hopefully when we return next year these problems won't be an issue and we can put it down to an off couple of nights. My meals were ok tbf but as a group, there were quite a few issues. The Butty Bach ale was superb as usual though.

We hadn’t booked a table but got served with no problem service was good and the food was good service was good the only complaint was when we went to the bar to pay we had to wait about 10 -15 mins because the lady behind the bar was the only one serving and she was changing the barrel .

Lovely food. Great hospitality. Quiet town. Tidy and clean streets. Ideal stopover location. Helpful and genuinely friendly and caring staff. This place is used well by locals.

We’ve been here many times before on multi-venue golf hols and always had a good time and good food. This time it was just as good as always however...I ordered 3 puddings for the group of 8 and only received 2. I queried this with Clare behind the bar at 10 mins to 9 on Thursday and was told not to worry it would be with us soon as they were short staffed and busy. At 5 mins past 9 we saw Clare eating the same pud on the bar I had ordered and upon querying where my pud was she said the kitchen was now closed.... I asked whose pud she was eating and she said it was a left over and as a left over it was bar perks...guess what? We ate elsewhere the next few nights.

Good food and a very nice bottle of red wine at reasonable price. Friendly bar staff. Tables not packed in.

Visited, with a group of friends for dinner on a Saturday night. You've got a choice of whether to eat in the bar or the restaurant. The bar is good but we chose to eat in the restaurant as we were a reasonably large group.

Had a fantastic fillet steak tonight. Me and 10 friends enjoyed some excellent food and cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful time

we are playing games, jingo, cards, darts and pool!!! Having a great time and playing. we went for drinks and puddings and had a great time, lovely service and so kind to the kids!!!

I have been here many times for Sunday lunch with my parents ,lovely home cooked food ,cooked to order it is also a bed and breakfast the staff are lovely and serve a lovely pint my husband has said well recommended

Staying for a night in Builth Wells, The Greyhound was recommended by the girl at the B&B; in which I was staying. On walking in it was a little unprepossessing but Phil(?) who I assume is the landlord/owner was warm and friendly and clearly has a good reputation with everyone who popped in and out.

We have stayed here many at time, basic, clean, simple accommodation, good bar with a nice selection of ales, food is basic, breakfast always good, the owner and her staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming, this hotel represents excellent value for money, keep up the good work, wee will be back.

After receiving a pleasant welcome. We then placed a food order which was serverd promptly. However, I can not express how disappointed I was with the quality of the food. My meal was unediable. Chicken fried to death and extremely dry, served with lumpy gravy and packet mash. I can not even give the meal I received a 1 out of 10. I was that embarrassed of the meal and to tell them I simply paid and left leaving them to find the evidence!!

We called in for a couple of drinks & enjoyed the atmosphere in a clean & friendly environment . There was a good turnover of customers

We stayed at The Greyhound as a party of 12 golfers from March 26-28 and had a reasonable time.

***My boyfriend and I decided to visit Builth Wells for a few days last week and as luck would have it, we ended up there during storm Emma***

We had two meals here before we moved into our house. The first evening we were invited to listen in on the Builth Wells Male Voice Choir rehearsal in a meeting room upstairs - it was magical. Warm fire in the bar and straight forward and well priced food,

Decided last minute to stay in Builth Wells instead of driving back home after a hard day's Christmas shopping! Was recommended the Greyhound by a local cafe owner so we thought we'd try it.

Dined here whilst attending the cob sales. We ate on two consecutive nights in a large party and were not disappointed. Portion size is impressive as was the speed of service and quality. Highlight for me was the homemade chicken balti. All our party enjoyed their meals. Real ale was top notch and all the members of staff were friendly. Good pub and will probably return for the Winter Fair.

Hotel was a bit brab , rooms were in need a lick of paint, towels were very thin (threw better out) our room door was very difficult to open from both inside and outside, if there was a fire I would have been worried. The room we were in was very spacious and bed was comfy, sheets were nice and fresh we were at the front , there was no noise what so ever. The breakfast was very pleasant and the lady serving was nice. It wasn't so bad that I wouldn't return for an overnight it was ideal.

Lovely food and great service. Good atmosphere. The dining room has been totally refurbished. Great breakfast.

We specifically traveled to Builth Wells to experience the men's choir that performs on Wednesdays in the evening at the...

Lovely place with excellent customer service. Food was lovely and plenty of seating outside for socialising

Great menu, and everything tried was fantastic quality and good value for money. Friendly staff and children welcome. Accommodation quite...

I very clean tidy hotel im the centre of Builth Wells with all the facilities you need for a great stay and exploring the local area.

La habitación estaba limpia y la ropa de cama. Menú tenía una buena variedad y ni una sola queja con respecto a la comida.

Good restaurant with good prices. The staff were great and a good menu. Very clean and spacious and in a good location

Beer was ok and likewise the food. Varied menu and reasonably priced. The garlic mushroom starter was good but tasted more peppery than garlicky. Three bean chilli was also ok but I did ask for half rice and half chips but only got the rice. Coffee was available but there was no choice because we were told the coffee machine took an hour to warm up - it was 7.30 by this time!!!!

Went in, sat at a table set for eating, member of staff said "Are you Mary?", "No", "You can`t sit there then, that`s reserved for Mary". So, we moved sat at a bare table in a back room, totally ignored, went to the bar and got menus, party chose from menu, went to bar to bar to order food and drink, asked first for two steak pie meals, The staff member shouted "You got any steak pie?" "No" came the answer, no "sorry, would you like something else?" Nothing! so went back to table collected rest of party and LEFT! Customer Service was non existent. Just hope everyone isn`t treated like that.

its a buffet breakfast,BUT, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE SAUSAGE,EGG,ETC?the cook and whatever else she is,is one obnoxious horrible woman,and should not be front of house,all of our group had trouble with this woman.I stayed in room 104,and although you got fresh towels the toilet seat was hanging off and there were cobwebs everywhere.Acouple of problems that could easily be resolved and make the Greyhound hotel a great place to stay,the cook would stop me booking here again,there were 20 of us on a golf trip.

We visited this lovely hotel/pub on a Sunday evening after a very disappointing situation in another establishment in the town. Avery friendly welcome from the landlady and staff, a few customes also bid us welcome. A superb pint of cask ale, a nice selection of wine for my wife and a delicious freshly cooked meal. Excellet value for money. An establishment that we shall certainly revisit.

Home cooked to order meals, nice local ale at reasonable prices, friendly staff, clean and tidy premises. The place looks to have had a recent high quality refit, the oak panelling to dado, bar etc, is impressive in finish detail!Well worth a visit!

We recently stayed at the Greyhound as a party of 16 golfers and had a wonderful time.Rooms were very comfortable,clean and very acceptable.Food in the hotel is excellent.Breakfasts superb and lovely evening meals at decent prices.Homely atmosphere and pleasant staff gave us a very warm welcome.As a large group it was ideal and one of the best golf breaks we have arranged.Suffice to say we will be returning in the future..Thank you.

Excellent hotel..very good breakfast and great choice of evening meals..lamb hotspot a favourite..great value golf break with Heart of Wales...

Great pub food well priced and friendly. Good selection of beers . Parking at the rear and ear to shops.

De passage à moto dans la région, pour une petite découverte du Pays de Galles. Bien situé entre les 2 parcs ( snowdonia et Beacons Brecon ).Parking fermé par une grille à l'extérieur. Chambre propre et spacieuse, bonne literie.Restauration : bien sans plus... mais correcte.Personnels accueillants. Très serviable Prix d'une chambre ( 2 lits simples ) 65 livres avec petit dej'

The meat choice of beef, lamb or pork, ( although think you could of had a choice of 2) was tender, and delicious. Served with a selection of frozen ( I think) vegetables, yorkshires and gravy, but nevertheless goodSurroundings, clean, but the lady serving clearly would have been much happier being anywhere else in the worldThat aside, good value for money

Parking is available on the road outside the hotel and there's also a car park with limited space.Thankfully the menu was not too large and rightfully focused on good local products.I had the lamb cutlets which were a very generous size and cooked perfectly and these came with carrots, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese and chips - a very good helping but all well cooked.The wine was only available in small 185cl bottles but it was perfectly ok and at least it hadnt been standing opened for a few days.I really enjoyed the meal and will definitely return here the next time I'm in Builth Wells.

Lovely welcome from the bar staff as we went through the entrance door. Many food choices from grill to fish to vegetarian. Went back a second night and were greeted like old friends ( how nice to see you , a familiar face). Food again excellent!!!

Tidy room clean beadingExtractor fan not working in bathroom hairs in showerRushed but okAll would have been passable if it wasn't for the bloody rude Manager/Owner this woman has a real attitude problem and should not be running a Hotel a summary which was confirmed by the local taxi (which the owner said we would not get one in Builth)I will never stop there again!

We hadn't booked a table and got the last one available. The dining room is a bit characterless but the staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming and the food was good pub food.

We had booked a table for two it was so noisy we could not hear one another speak. The waitress was very good and moved us to another room. We could still hear them but not as loudly. Management should have said something to them as children were there as well.

We visited this hotel on the evening of Monday 5th September 2016 to celebrate our grandson's imminent departure to university. A night out for dinner for five with 3 generations of my family. The food and service was excellent and was provided by friendly staff. After dinner we were invited to sit in and listen to the local mail voice choir's rehearsal for their next concert. A beautiful end to a perfect evening.

We chanced upon the greyhound because both our plan A and plan B failed... but what a treat. The food was delicious, staff were smiling and friendly. The icing on the cake was that the Builth Male Voice Choir were rehearsing upstairs and we were allowed to sit in after our meal.... what a treat. the only down side was that Eastenders was playing in the background whilst we were eating ...but hey ho. Will definitely go their again and be recommending it to our B&B guests

The food was nice, not sure the mash was real though. It was a very busy night, this didn't effect the service though, the staff were spot on and we didn't have to wait long for anything. I did feel it was a little bit pricey for food but okay if you're not on a budget. Lively pub atmosphere.

We booked last minute and got a table for many. This was, perhaps, the best part of the booking. We were sat in the bar area of the hotel. Although the serving staff was friendly, if was as though she had something else on her mind. The order was decidedly different to that which we placed. Extra chips (that we had to pay for), here, extra meals (that we had to pay for), there. The kids, for example, were to share a meal but two meals were brought out. Resulting in a plateful of waste, and a tonne of uneaten chips! The order was reiterated before she took it to the kitchen to! I didn't have the curry but many of my friends did. All agreed it was a jar (or large vat) curry, not homemade. I had the fish cakes and must say they are very nice. Being seated in the bar area, even before the watershed, you are subjected to the foul mouthed locals sat at the bar who didn't consider the presence of kids. I wouldn't rush back here.

there are plenty of choices available with a specials board, its recently been refurbished and helpful to be able to park in there as Builth as limited parking bays available. I had fish pie which was delicious my husband sweet and sour chicken which was also delicious will be going again when next in Builth Wells

Exactly what we expected, great food quickly brought out with lovely service at a reasonable price. Very friendly and welcoming.

Good food and a welcoming atmosphere make this a very popular pub/restaurant with both locals and travellers. If you want a meal book a table to be sure they can accommodate you. It's also a great spot for a drink and a bit of local colour. Check out the Monday evening choir practice that starts around 8pm.

What a disappointing evening. We didn't get off to a great start as we'd originally booked for 4 people and then rang 2 days before our visit and added 4 more people to find that there was no record of this on the diary. I'd specifically asked to be in the bar area, but due to the cock-up, this resulted in us being sat in the dining room, on our own, with no atmosphere.The next problem is that I asked for a bitter shandy and the bar staff served this using Brains Black which tasted awful. We ordered mains which all arrived at different times and some with chips missing. None of the steaks were cooked as they should have been and the chicken was dry. The Bangers n Mash which should have come with local sausages was served with catering sausages, I would have expected something from a local butcher.We all ordered desserts and bizarrely the ice cream orders were brought first.The two people who ordered these did initially wait for the rest but in the end the ice cream was melting so they carried on. The rest of the desserts arrived in dribs and drabs with the last one arriving at least 20 minutes after the first, some of these were served with incorrect accompaniments. To be fair the staff were pleasant and helpful but the service of the food with regards to the timings was poor. We've visited here on a number of occasions over the years, and on the whole, had very good meals but on this visit it was very poor. I wonder if the usual chef was not on this night. Sadly we won't be going back.

Staff friendly and accommodating. We ate a selection from their menu here 3 consecutive nights and all meals were very good.

I've been here a few times now and the food is consistently good. The bar staff/waiters are really pleasant and helpful, and the food is way above the usual standard of pub food, with excellent choice, good sized portions, and all at a really reasonable cost

Stopped for lunch here after looking at TripAdvisor reviews for somewhere to eat halfway through our journey and we were very pleased we did. The lady serving couldn't have been more helpful, we were given the lunch menu but were told we could also order from the main menu if we wanted. Both of us had rump steak which was perfectly cooked to order and was a great piece of steak, lovely and thick and I'm sure more than 10oz. The chips were home made and sooooo delicious, we loved them. Tons of very tasty onion rings too. So glad we bothered to find this place. The staff were very good indeed and we felt they really cared.

Nice food and not too pricey. Quite busy and others who had not booked were bring told of a 30 minute wait in a rather curt manner by the bar maid ! However we were served quickly and enjoyed our meals. Lasagne for me and Steak&Ale pie for the hubbie. He is a chef and said this pie was as good as his own LOL.

We were recommended this pub for dinner by our B and B and despite being off the main strip of shops it was well worth the walk. There is a wide range of food on offer without being overwhelming and all very reasonably priced. My three bean chilli was excellent - well balanced flavours and not too hot. The lasagne was also very good. Side of red cabbage was much appreciated too. An excellent place for eating in Builth Wells.
