We dropped in without booking hoping to get lunch. I was with my friend and her disabled dad. They were able to offer us a table and from the start the experience was excellent. The staff member ( I think it was the Manager) came out to the car park to see if we needed any help with the wheelchair. We were promptly seated and drinks and food order taken quickly. All members of staff were polite and friendly. The food came in a good waiting time and we were all really pleased with the food. I had an ultimate burger, my friend a Thai beef dish and her dad an all day breakfast. Great portion sizes, hot and all tasty. Really reasonably priced as well ! Thankyou for such a great experience

We went for Sunday Lunch on 18th. The Car Park was busy so we had to park in the over flow car park. We had booked for a family of 10. The inside and outside area was busy. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming even though we could see that they were under pressure. We all had the roast dinners and everything was cooked to perfection. We regularly come here and always tell friends and family to visit. Make sure you pick up the meal vouchers at the end of your visit. We will definitely be returning soon.

Went for a late Sunday roast only to find they were sold out. Unhappy staff ! Meals from the menu were disappointing and took a long time to arrive. The rice in the Tikka Masala was watery. The steak and ale pie arrived with a coating of gravy, even though the gravy was in a separate pourer. This was to disguise the fact it was burnt. The pie should be relabelled as Ale pie,as there was very little steak visible in the pie. Needless to say we won't be back!

Travelled past this pub for the best part of 50 years but never stopped, what a mistake. I can say the food was excellent and the staff a credit to the management. Thanks for a great experience 😁

We rarely, if ever go back to a place twice - we like to explore. We made an exception for this place. It is as close to a perfect overnight stopover as you can get. We found all the staff fabulous - hard to pick them out but Claire, Karen, Tom and Darren - sorry to those we missed out :( Unusually for me I went for the burger - go for it. If you can manage it without wearing half of it you're doing well.

Fantastic food. I had Hunters chicken, salad and haloumi fries, my partner had Steak and ale pie with salad and chips and gravy. Although I was very full I also managed to gannet a generous helping of apple and cherry crumble with custard AND ice cream..............separate dessert stomach, don't you know! The staff on duty- Darren, Karen, Mabel and Claire were friendly, helpful and very efficient. Our compliments to those in the kitchen too. Go there, eat and soak up the lovely atmosphere.

I live in Sutton Coldfield and my sisters live near Carmarthen, so we were looking for somewhere about half way to meet up for Sunday lunch and this was our choice. Thankfully it was an excelllent choice and also thankfully I hadn't eaten breakfast....the portions are really generous. The food is great and good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. We will definitely return for our next meet up.

This is the second time we have stayed at Smithy Cottage just behind The Horseshoes Inn. We thoroughly recommend it to anyone. It ticks all the boxes plus it is so peaceful and relaxing. The Horseshoes Inn next to the cottage serves excellent meals. All staff are professional and friendly. Warm welcome on arrival. Powys Castle and Garden in Powys is well worth a visit and is close to the cottage via a walk down the canal.

I had concerns which the manager/owner has said he will address. Being typically Brit, we probably should have sent our food back but didn't I went to try it and because it is convenient but shall not be returning. I have been in other "dog friendly" pubs but imho this is more "dog loving."Fine if you are.

What an absolute treat. We popped in on the off chance and OMG what a treat. They service was amazing and the food was top nosh. It’s has a wonderful seating area outside but if you want to eat in doors there are plenty of seats. People bring their dogs and lovely play area for the kids 100% recommend to anyone

Firstly l would like to say the food was really nice and served promptly. Two female waitresses one professional the other stuffing her face at the bar wearing a dirty black top. Her language was not suitable to be used in front of customers and neither should you sit down un invited whilst people are eating. On arrival she gave the impression of being in charge? I would expect this from Wetherspoons not here where l have eaten on many occasions.

I was surprised to see Kaye W's review. I am a regular customer at the Horseshoes. I happened to be there at the time. The party in question milled around and around. Having put in an order for food, they were asked to anchor themselves to a table. The food came out and the customers weren't at the said table. So, yes, some inconvenience to the staff was involved in that they had to marry up the food to the customers. It transpired they'd seated themselves in the 'dog friendly' area. Clearly children are welcome as their child was there.

We stopped here to break up a long journey. Straight away it seemed very unwelcoming. My son is autistic, and because he seemed more comfortable in the corner section we asked to move tables. We were advised that was the dog friendly section, and obviously we would move if needed, it was quiet at the time, but this seem like an inconvenience to move tables. Then when my son was wandering in the pub, this seemed to annoy a couple of guests, and I know he seemed hyperactive but these are some of his autistic traits, this seemed to annoy one couple in particular, where the man was making very rude comments ( I know you have no control over who comes into your pub) but overall it just felt very unwelcoming in there. Are kids not allowed in here? It didn't seem like it. We come past this pub often, so we will not be stopping here again.

Called in for tea on our way back from hospital, I ordered scampi and my partner ordered Gammon. The Gammon was tough as old boots, we complained at the bar when paying, my husband said that he wasn't going to pay for the Gammon but because the manager wasn't there they couldn't refund his meal!!! So gave him vouchers instead. We will definitely not be returning and using our vouchers. Very disappointed with the reaction.

Necesidad de mejorar la calefacción en la zona más cercana al parque de coche. Muy frío estar sentado allí comer la cena.

My wife and I were staying in a B&B in Berriew which didn’t cook evening meals on a Sunday, so we decided to try this inn for our dinner. We arrived without reservations, but were quickly shown to a table by a very pleasant member of staff who immediately took our drinks order. The drinks arrived and we ordered our food soon after. It didn’t take long for the food to arrive, and it looked very well presented. My wife had lasagne, which she told me was hot and tasty, however my steak and ale pie with chips was not quite so. Again, my meal was hot, but the meat in the pie was very grisly, which was a shame as the pastry was excellent. The chips and beans with my meal were first class, so absolutely no problems with them. As we ate our meal the chef came out and asked if everything was okay with the food. I told him about the meat in the pie, to which he laughed and then walked away. Now, what’s the point in asking me about my meal if you are not going to take action when you receive such a comment? Anyway, we finished the meal and went up to the bar to pay, at which time we were asked again if all was okay. I told the member of staff at the bar about the meat and this time it had a totally different outcome, in that someone, whom I took to be the manager, became involved, and she showed concern about the fact that my meal had not been perfect. She also told me that she would be having words with the supplier about said pie. We ended the conversation coming to an amicable agreement of a goodwill gesture, so I’m more than happy with the outcome. If it had not have been for the issue with the pie then this meal would have been almost perfect, in that the staff were lovely, the restaurant was clean and in a good state of decoration, and the service was first rate. My only other comment would be that the prices were a tad dearer than around my home city of Leicester, but not unusual for a country inn.

Friendly staff, hearty, simple menu, great coffee. We stopped here after walking Crickhowell to Brecon via the Black Mountains. They weren’t bothered about muddy boots but we took off at door anyway. Toilets immaculate. Chef’s playlist that could be heard in the dining area - not a bad song on it for about an hour. Good on him!!
