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 recommended to eat here by locals and even though it was fully booked, the owner said he would squeeze us in. Wow we were not disappointed at all.

Had dinner here for my birthday. Staff and locals very friendly. It looked like we got lucky for getting a table despite not having made a reservation (tip: make a reservation). There was plenty to chose from on the menu. I had the sweet and sour chicken strips for starter and the barbecue chickenmelt (with new potatoes in stead of chips) for dinner. Seeing that it was my birthday there was room for a desert: Belgian waffle with ice cream and white chocolate and raspberry...yum, yum, yum.

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!

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 !!

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.

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!

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.

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 have been visiting The Drover's for around 25 years. As a full Family initially, now just the two of us. Peter and his Team never disappoint. The welcome is always friendly and we do enjoy a modest pre Lunch drink in the cosy snug out the back. The views of the river are spectacular. It was a bit chilly to be sitting outside on the balcony but one brave chap did take his coffee out there! The food, well, you can't call it 'just Sunday Lunch! It's a foodie treat! Plenty of beautifully cooked food. Always hot and tasty. The quality is certainly there as well. Cannot fault anything and the Sweets are to die for! The atmosphere is invariably pleasant. A good mixture of Walkers, Holiday makers and Locals. Thanks so much for everything over the years Peter. We're already in the process of booking next year's trip to Wales, so keep an eye out for an email soon!

Our first time here this morning. From the minute we walked in we was welcomed and seated. All staff were welcoming. Myself and fiancé ordered a full English, food was lovely not one fault and clear plates. I had a cappuccino which was tasty and perfect. We were approached and asked if everything was okay during our meal. We paid with cash and left a tip as we were very pleased. We will definitely be attending again on our next stay.

Great place to stay. A friend and I cycled to the area and stayed here overnight. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. The room is a generous size with all the facilities you would want, and you have access to an outside deck area with lounge chairs and table which is ideal on a sunny day. The breakfast was also lovely. The location was great as it’s a 5 min walk from 2 good pubs and a post office/shop

Mock timber frame manor house retaining much of its character and charm. No lifts. Breakfast was choose your own pre-packed cereals with a cooked option. Dinner was a mini-taster with delicious options which we watched cooked on TV cameras. The room was clean but dated with an en-suit crammed in. High windows restricted light and views of extensive gardens and river. The staff were friendly and willing but lacked service training. Guests our age do not wish to be called 'you guys'.
