We parked to have a good lunch. Went to entrance with our dog....this is walking country. Even before getting to door, met by barmaid saying that pub was not dog friendly....perhaps hoped we would leave our dog in car. We left......what a most unwelcoming place.

The worse meal I have ever had chips were dry and the steak was chewy tasteless and full of fat. I was so looking forward to my meal as we have always had a good food here but was so disappointed this time and will not return.

Lovely country pub with the most beautiful view of the mountains. We were on a multi generational holiday nearby and booked dinner for one of our nights and everyone really enjoyed their meals. The ladies on the bar and serving us were so lovely and attentive. Highly recommend.

We visited here last Sunday whilst on holiday in the Beacons and had the nicest roast dinner I've ever had in a restaurant. The meat was plentiful, freshly cooked roast potatoes and loads of all different veg. Then there is the gravy. Well I always say good gravy makes a dinner and this certainly did, it was beautiful and plenty of it. The deserts were very nice, proper traditional, apple pie, jam sponge and custard and others all delicious. So good we've booked to back tomorrow.

We (4 of us) stopped at the inn just after 6pm on Sunday and enquired if they were still serving roasts which I'm very happy to say they were. We all had the roast lamb which really was lovely. There was plenty of meat, roast potatoes and a good selection of veg,(5 if I remember correctly), plus a very nice stuffing. What really set it off, though, was the amount of gravy. In so many establishments it seems you get the minimum possible but here there was plenty plus, without us asking, they brought out more in a gravy boat. Superb. Dessert was also a delight. A word, too about the service which was very welcoming and attentive. Lovely people. We enjoyed our meal so much we returned the following Thursday and had another super meal of fish, steak, curry and pie of the day all delicious. If you're in the Brecon area be sure to visit the Old Ford Inn and experience the lovely welcome and superb food. Also the views aren't bad either.

Rang on Sunday to see if there was availability and there was for a 4.30 pm sitting. Boy was it worth it. Roast lamb piled on the plate, stuffing, a Yorkie, roast potatoes accompanied by delicious thick gravy. Then the veg arrived. Perfectly cooked carrots, swede, cauliflower, cabbage, peas and new potatoes. The landlady and waiting staff were lovely. Really welcoming, attentive and professional. The pub itself is lovely, 2 restaurant areas, bar area and outside garden with beautiful views across the Welsh countryside. Will definitely be back during our stay.

This is two reviews really. I went with my mother on a Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed my roast dinner. My wife has gone with her mother, sister and niece for the mothers day Sunday lunch and wouldn't go back. So the difference between the two days. On the Saturday, they served a white meat to start with which must be the most popular. Obviously have a choice but I do think you should always serve a white meat so my niece went without meat. Also, on the Saturday the food came already on the plate. So there was no sharing bowls. The big difference with the Sunday was there was 4 people and they brought one large bowl with all the veg on it and on top of the peas and carrots was cauliflower cheese. Not everyone likes this but obviously because it was on top of the peas and carrots then it ruined other veg. When you have 4 people trying to share from one large bowl it was a mess. These should have been separate bowls that people could pass around. There was a handful of peas for four people and when we asked if we could have more then they answer is yes but you pay extra. I would go back, but would ask numerous questions before I have a roast dinner again, I suppose I was just lucky that I went on Saturday and it was a better setup for the Saturday.

What you get is a traditional Sunday lunch with fresh produce no freezer veg here. I had the Lamb and my partner the beef. Both meats cooked to perfection and decent size portions. Service was amazing with pleasant staff and very polite. Really pleased we have found this place and will be returning. Recommend going for a long walk to build up an appetite as the meals are filling but don't to leave room for the apple pie.

Firstly, go here but book first, it is popular and we were lucky to get a table. In brief, the starter was for us the Double garlic mushrooms in a creamy sauce with very fresh toasted garlic bread. Delicious. Next, Beef and Yorkshire pudding. More than enough meat, delicious home made gravy that added flavour, the beef was cooked beautifully and the Yorkshire pudding was home made, crispy outside and fluffy inside. Amazing new potatoes in butter and perfectly cooked roast potatoes. Lashings of veg, we had cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, suede and garden peas. I can usually fit in a pudding but none of us could. However, viewing puddings presented to others, we missed out and will have to go back. The staff were friendly and the food was served to the table in a very fast time. Look out for some of the signs in the pub, they'll make you smile, not least the one directing you to the right toilet. Enjoy

I booked this pub a couple of weeks prior to the date I wanted to go and spoke to a very helpful staff member who advised that as long as we could arrive by 3pm and leave by 4.30, we could be accommodated. My friend and I managed to arrive earlier than anticipated and were seated straight away, then had our drinks and food orders taken by a lovely lady. We both ordered garlic mushrooms, followed by roast lamb. Mushrooms - served with garlic bread - delicious. Roast lamb - served with ample gravy, roast potatoes and ( at our request ) a Yorkshire pudding. There was also a large dish of assorted vegetables and another one with new potatoes. We suggested they take the potatoes back straight away as we knew we wouldn’t eat it all! The roast dinner was absolutely delicious in every way, proper home cooking and beautifully served. The lamb was tender and plentiful. With no room for desert, we asked for a portion of apple pie and custard to take away. That was equally delicious. This is a no frills pub, the appearance of which belies the treats it bestows on customers. Being a stranger to the area looking for somewhere to go for Sunday lunch, I selected this place based on the location ( near Brecon canal basin ) and the reviews. We were not disappointed. Staff are pleasant and welcoming and the food excellent value for money. If I visited the area again I would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you.

Enjoyed a catch up with friends in a pub with the moo beau beautiful outlook. 8 people eating eating 6 different meals which were really well prepared, hot, and tasted delicious. 2 of us opted for the home made lasagne, which I feel deserves a particular special mention as it was spot on. Every meal (6 different choices in total) were beautiful. Hot and in plentiful in portion size. In fact only one of us had enough room for dessert. It took a little while to come out, which I know some people find irksome, however I find this reassuring. The welcome extended by all staff members was fantastic. Really friendly and polite. If I could be pedantic it would only be to mention that the toilets would definitely benefit from an overhaul. However this did not detract from a really good quality, delicious meal in a nice atmosphere with a stupendous outlook. We will be back!!

What can I say!? We have visited twice this week,and if we were staying longer we would visit again. Saturday when we went there were 13 of us, and apart from a mix up with ordering everything was lovely. We can thoroughly recommend the steaks..... WOW! 2nd visit was last night and steak was our choice this time, I had Rpast Pork last time and it was a tad dry and wasn't keen on the roast spuds. This time I had Rib Eye Steak and I can truly say it is the best steak I have ever eaten, I chose new potatoes with mine instead of chips. Well it was cooked to perfection, the potatoes were just delicious and the peas tasted as though they had just come from the garden straight to the saucepan. 2 of us had desserts they were Sticky Toffee and Date Pudding which I had with Custard with and my husband had Apple Pie and Cream both were absolutely delicious. Thank you to all at The Old Ford Inn.

A lovely meal with a beautiful view. Don’t think you could get much better views anywhere else while having your food. We went for Sunday lunch last minute and it was a lovely hour or so out in the sun. Very generous portions, gravy was lovely, chicken so soft and juicy you didn’t even have to cut it. The veg was cooked to perfection, especially the new potatoes! Lovely and fluffy inside but a nice crispy skin. The double garlic mushrooms were the best ive had! So tasty, they didn’t last long. This was the first pub meal I’ve had for months and i Felt very safe here. The waitresses all masked up and kept their distance. Very friendly too. Definitely recommend it.

The Old Ford is well known to me having worked there during school holidays albeit many moons ago! We had taken a holiday cottage locally and decided to have a family supper at The Old Ford on one of our available evenings. The location of this pub is such that you get superb views of the Brecon Beacons and it has to be worth a visit just to sit in the gardens with a drink! Meanwhile we elected to have supper. If you are hungry this is the place to go..............the servings were ample in the extreme; not very good for the waistline. Most of us had fish and chips which were fine but I felt they were a bit over generous with the chips ! The puddings were nothing special but OK. In short this was average to good pub grub. If I have a complaint it was the bill; it came on a scruffy piece of paper with a number on it...........why was there not a itemised bill on a till-roll which is generally what one expects in a restaurant.

My friend and I went today for a lovely home cooked meal. Restaurant all marked out for way in, way out, 2metres apart, glass screens hung between tables turning them into booths. Pretty with their Christmas decorations up. We both had gammon and chips, peas, mushrooms, tomato, onion rings and either egg or pineapple or both - delicious. Then lovely Christmas pudding and yummy brandy sauce. It was lovely to see and chat with Maria, Dave, Abbey and girls. Masks to be worn entering and leaving, and when you move about indoors. Name and contact details taken. Everything cleaned before next sitting, drinks brought on a tray for you to take, rather than being handed to you, all done with table service and all girls wearing masks. Everything done professionally and properly to the letter, yet they're the ones being penalised. Can't wait to go back. Would definitely recommend - 10 out of 10

We were a bit nervous about eating out (inside) for the first time since lockdown but The Old Ford Inn proved an excellent safe choice. With staggered dining times, limited tables spaced out, hand sanitiser, staff wearing face masks and a one way system (in one door, out another) it felt safe. The staff were friendly and the meals delicious and plentiful.

During a short break in Brecon (five minutes away) we had dinner at The Old Ford as it was one of the few places open, however it proved a very good choice. The pub set in a rural location on the A40, we sat in their outdoor area which has great views across to the Beacons. The food was home cooked, good value, massive portions and well prepared, served by the friendly staff. Covid restrictions or not, I would not hesitate returning there for a traditional pub dinner. Booking recommended which we did via their FB site receiving a quick confirmation.

Went here yesterday to sit and eat outside due to lockdown restrictions. I've had many many Sunday lunches out, including here in the past, but have to this was soooooo yummy. Everything was spot on...tender meat, gorgeous, roasties, tasty veg and the gravy was rich and thick and tasted heavenly. Cannot describe just how spot on it was and how much I enjoyed it. My starter of garlic mushrooms was also stunning. The sauce was to do die for! Drinks were very resonably priced too, including our gorgeous bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Spoke to the chef at the time to say thank you and compliments to him once again. Also to the lovely waitresses who couldn't do enough for us and worked really hard. Gorgeous lunch, lovely staff, stunning views. Will definitely be back very soon Xxx

Having regularly travelled through Llanhamlach about 10 years ago, I can always remember the gorgeous smell of roast dinners as I drove past. Finally, after all this time I booked in advance to secure a table for 2 for roast dinner, and it did not disappoint!. Both myself and my mother had the vegetarian option (nut and mushroom roast) which was lovely, with perfect roast potatoes and a lovely gravy. The food was top class and we left absolutely stuffed - with no room for dessert! The restaurant was full so would suggest booking. Polite service and reasonable prices. Thankyou.

We have been to the Old Ford Inn in Brecon for many years now and in my opinion they serve the best meals in the Brecon area. There is always a good variety of options on the menu and the portion sizes are always good. The service is excellent and there are gluten free options available. If you are planning to visit it is advisable to book in advance because it is very popular. Especially if you are planning for Sunday lunch. We will definitely keep returning to the Old Ford in Brecon whenever we are in the area.

Having passed by The Old Ford Inn many times, we decided to stop for lunch and we were really glad that we did. It is a picturesque old building with lovely views of the mountains. The food was excellent. We both had the roast of the day and the beef was really tender. There were four different vegetables all cooked beautifully, as well as roast and new potatoes and a homemade yorkshire pudding. It was one of the nicest meals that we have eaten out in a long time. There was an extensive menu and meals for the over 60s costing £8.00. The portions were very generous. We would highly recommend and are looking forward to returning, hopefully to sample the range of curries!

We decided to visit the Old Ford Inn for lunch after discovering it on a TripAdvisor search whilst en-route home from a holiday in Cornwall.

Visited here whilst on holiday with friends, we had a lovely meal, lots of choice on the menu, food was served lovely & hot & was delicious, there were 8 of us & we all really enjoyed our meals. The portions were so large we couldn’t manage a pudding sadly! The staff were friendly & very efficient. Only wish I lived nearer so could visit regularly. Thoroughly recommended!

Had a lovely meal here for Father’s Day, with plenty of choice on the starters & deserts. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. We were a big group so hard to fit us all in the conservatory area but they did their best to accommodate us. Highly recommend The Old Ford.

From having a drink outside to Sunday lunch inside it was a wonderful afternoon. We were a group of 18 and they kindly let us have a room to ourselves which was most appreciated. Everybody enjoyed their meals but special mention must go to the Lamb which was simply divine. The service from the Bar to the restaurant was warm, helpful and prompt. Whether looking for a large grouping or just a meal for two this Pub is worth considering , the views are stunning also. We will be back !!

Great food very tasty with superb service to match. I had the beef madras and my boyfriend had homemade pork and Apple pie and we both were very impressed. Desserts were also very good!

Its been a few months since my last visit and it never disappoints. You will find it hard to find a better Sunday Lunch anywhere. Gorgeous home cooked taste and plenty of it. I would advise booking ahead but it was a beautiful day and people were stopping and eating in the beer garden.

The Old Ford is an amazing place to eat and drink. Super friendly staff, food is excellent with plenty of variety including gluten-free options and a there is a really good choice of real ale. if you eat outside the views are breathtaking! Sunday lunch is a must....but book ahead as it is so popular amongst the locals as well as visitors to the area!

A pleasant pub in a very idyllic part of Wales. However I can’t give full five stars because I was disappointed with the quality of the beef on the Sunday roast. I found the meat very veiny and chewy and not for the first time so it’s not a one-off. The landlord must review with his supplier. Quality must not be compromised on. However to say the overall experience is less than very good would be a lie.

Eerste dag in Wales hier gegeten. Stokbrood met kruidenboter was erg lekker. Genoeg keus en hoofdgerecht was ook lekker

We were looking for a hearty meal after a long hike and this place did the job. The food was amazing - roast dinners for us both followed by a dessert we didn’t need but were pleased we ordered! The staff were excellent. Attentive and efficient as well as all very friendly , and the ambiance was great.

We stopped here for a meal on a journey home from West Wales. The staff were great. The food was tasty and properly home made. The service was excellent. The views were lovely. I was ideal and we could not have asked for more. We travel this route regularly and the pub always looks inviting. We will be sure to stop here again - we just wish we had done so before!

I rarely give a 5 star rating, but this establishment deserves it. The location is breath-taking and the staff are the most welcoming and friendliest you’ll meet. Food is fresh and cooked perfectly (i suggest always getting the specials). They also have a great ale and spirit selection.

In the Brecon Beacons for a weekend away, on our first night we had a disappointing meal at a different Brecon top-rated pub. Determined that there must be good food available in the area we thought we’d give the Old Ford Inn a try, and our hunch was proved correct.

I visited relatives in Llanhamlach and we went to The Old Ford Inn for dinner on a Saturday night. I was surprised at the size of the meal - quite large. Everything was delicious and I was amazed at the variety of vegetables that I was served with my roast beef. Sorry I did not get a photo. The meat was tender and tasty - cooked to perfection. My cousins wife had salmon which I also sampled - better than some high end places in Boston, USA! The value for money was excellent. Also it was warm on a wet Saturday night and the atmosphere was great with good service and pleasant surroundings. I would definitely visit again.

We were very lucky to book a table here for Sunday lunch on our weekend away in Brecon with friends. It was so busy, we saw at least 8 people having to be turned away as they hadn't booked. The food was stunning, everything from the starter through to the dessert tasted absolutely gorgeous and there was plenty of it! The staff in particular the owners, were really lovely, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back and can highly recommend it!!!

Took my elderly Father and Girlfriend here for Sunday Lunch. Great value for money. My Father has become a little fussy in his old age, but he ate everything on his plate without a complaint. I have been before and the food was yet again marvellous. It has a home made taste that a lot of pubs fail to maintain. Always busy, so best to book in advance. The views on a clear day are amazing too. I thoroughly recommend.

We had a light lunch here, 2 salads, one with baked ham and the other with a selection of cheeses. Both pleased well, the ham was thick-cut and tasty, the cheeses equally as pleasing. The menu is comprehensive and inviting. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Although this was just a lunchtime visit many of the tables were reserved, were you to come on a busy evening I would advise booking in advance.

A great find and would highly recommend. Very friendly welcome. Food was really tasty and home cooked. Very reasonably priced and the portions were of a good size. If you are in the area definitely give it a try. I had the lamb very very tasty and my wife had the pie of the day with the biggest chips for one I’ve seen. Give it a go!!!!

We stayed here with our two dogs for one night prior to attending the Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show. Our room was really well equipped and very nicely laid out, and very clean. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff. The full english breakfast was spot on, and they went out of their way to ensure it was ready for us promptly as we had to head off to the show. We will definitely stay here again.

A pleasant meal with excellent service but very quiet, i suppose thats usually to be expected in January. Probably the nicest salmon we've had with a scrumptious cheese cake to follow and lovely white wine too. Waiter had a good sense of humour and kept us entertained on a quiet night and said "don't forget us on Tripadvisor" so here it is! Quickly cooked and delivered to our table with genuine warmth and a smile. Better than our first visit last summer but we don't like to make a fuss as it seemed full of holiday makers and a little short on waiting staff we hope you enjoyed your after work pint Johnny, Dean and Jenny x

Delicious. I had the mild prawn Ghurka curry and she had another mild Ghurka dish with Ghurka rice and bread. Absolute delight all the way! Great service.

Went to find this pub for Sunday lunch, Aug 2021 The pub is no longer operating. Also tried The Dragon in Montgomery which was only serving food to residents at present.
