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

Booked a table for 4 for an evening meal here August 27th 2020. A friendly & welcoming pub, excellent anti-covid precautions with all staff wearing masks and good sanitisation of facilities including the toilets. Food was delicious and served in large portions - nobody went home hungry! I was driving so couldn’t try the beers but looked a good selection. Will be back when in the area.

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.

Visited in July with Family & Friends for the first time. It was difficult for the staff as everyone had to be served outside. It did take longer than I would have liked but given the circumstances they did a great job. The Roast Beef was fantastic, the views from the pub bench simply stunning, all at a very reasonable price, if I am in the area again I will return. I recommend the Mint Chocolate Aero Cheesecake!

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

We ordered fish and chips and 3 different curries which arrived in a short while, the food was hot and there was enough of it not to leave you hungry.

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!

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.

Visited on a Thursday evening in October and couldn't have been more disappointed with our meals. We ordered the lamb shoulder which was completely inedible and the beef curry, which although tasting ok, was very tough. The 'slow cooked lamb shoulder glazed with balsamic vinegar' bore no resemblance to this description. It only had 2 mouthfuls of edible meat and the rest was fat, gristle and skin. It was formed into a circular shape and had a drizzle of cheap balsamic over it. It also had an odd flavour. It was the worst lamb dish I have ever had the misfortune to taste. The only upside was that the proprietor agreed to remove the meal from the bill without any issue.

Visited for lunch on Tuesday and had a lovely meal. It was busy but we were quickly shown a table by the landlord. I ordered the roast of the day (pork) which was probably the best roast dinner I have had in any pub and my husband had the steak pie, which he said was delicious. We both had the larger meals (notbthe pensioner smaller portions) and thought we wouldn’t be able to manage a pudding but, having seen the puddings ordered by others, we were tempted by the apple pie and bread and butter pudding both served with custard. They were delicious.

Super place for a family lunch. We were there yesterday with 8 of us and really enjoyed the views and the food. Food is simple as befits an Inn in the country with excellent portions. Very tasty and a good choice from the menu.

We stayed here for two nights to attend a friends wedding at Peterstone Court. It was super convenient and we walked back after the wedding, needed a torch, but it was only 200 yards. Very reasonably priced, and the breakfast included was great, just what we needed! The landlord and lady were absolutely charming, and there was great attention to detail with the tea and coffee provided in the rooms along with individual soap and shower gel, communal hair dryer, iron and ironing board! Views across the Brecons were absolutely breathtaking. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here, great find :)

Went to this pub to have a meal with my family to celebrate my birthday. We are a family of 5 with three kids (10, 8 & 2). We could not have been more happy with this pub, welcoming staff, really good pub food and nice beer. I recommend the Steak and also the Lamb. The kids menu was also very good. I think the only thing that would have topped this pub off would have been a play area for kids.

Family visiting from Essex were well impressed with the food tonight at the Old Ford. I had the mushroom stroganoff on the special board which was really good.

We hadn't been to the Old Ford in ages until yesterday. The food was excellent, especially the Llanhamlech Chicken. Pen-y-fan looked stunning. We won't wait so long to make a return visit.

This was our first visit for over five years , but what a return! The fantastic weather helped but from arriving until departure it was a wonderful experience. We both had the beef dinner , and it was one of the best we have had in recent memory. The vegetables were plentiful , and we were able to have dessert outside gazing at the superb views. The service at the bar and in the restaurant was warm , helpful and polite. It will not be five years until we next visit.

We called with only 10 mins notice on a Saturday evening and they went out of their way to fit us in. The food is very good and the portions are huge. Service is super friendly and attentive. We were there earlier in the year and had a similar experience. Definitely worth a visit.

Left the peterstone nearby when we saw their menu and experienced their ‘5 star’ service, and found this place down the road... menu was excellent, my girlfriend had nearly double figures of choices as a vegetarian instead of the single choice where we were staying, she had a lovely veggie curry and i had the bbq rib eye... topped with the best bacon ive had... amazing location looking towards pen y fan, all the staff smiley and accommodating despite it being packed, and the manager mentioned his rooms are only approx £80 rather than the £180 we paid, with a better view! Doh!

My partner and I just had Sunday lunch at the Old Ford. We live in Abergavenny and like to have a treat out from time to time. The pub was busy but we were served quickly with drinks, told which was our table and didn't wait very long for our order to be taken. We both ordered lamb. This duly arrived with stuffing, gravy and two large roast potatoes. Our vegetables quickly followed. A very good selection plus boiled potatoes. The portions are not skimped in any way. There was enough food to feed four people with ease. We've had midweek and Sunday lunches on previous occasions which are always good but this one was outstanding. We'll definitely return.

This was not the first and it won't be the last visit to this lovely pub. Run by friendly staff and their Sunday lunch is brilliant. Generous portions and fairly priced.

We went to this pub on 2 occasions. The first occasion we were sat inside and I had the pate and beef Sunday dinner. The dinner was excellent, with lovely a homemade Yorkshire pudding. The pate was nice, but I felt there wasn't enough bread. The second time we sat outside with an absolutely gorgeous view. I had the surf and turf, which was as described on the menu, but didn't blow me away. My friend had the lasagne, which was again, nice but nothing special. I'd definitely go back for a Sunday dinner though!

We booked this place but had to re arrange. When I spoke to a member of staff I asked them would it be possible to do a plain chicken breast with a jacket potato and veg as one of us is dairy and gluten intolerant and the chicken they have on their menu is a breast stuffed with cheese etc.I was told over the phone yes that's no problem I've wrote that in the book to which I thought great. We arrived at 5.30pm on the Thursday the 5th July, we were un aware that they didn't open til 6 as we booked table 6pm but thought the may have doors open. Staff kept arriving , and there was a man walking round inside , then he put an apron on they he had a cigarette, all aware we were just sat outide waiting. After 6 we we let in, we were seated in the conservatory bit, wow! No where near as nice as the other side! So we looked at the menu, obviously one of us knew what they were having but myself and hubby picked ours. I went up to the bar and asked if I could order here. I ordered the scampi, a vegetable pudding and told them about the chicken and a side of garlic bread. She looked at me and said oh right ok. Hmmmmm! I ordered drinks which were odd. The glasses were scratched, and they had run out of diet coke bottles even though they had literally just opened! I took the drinks back to our table and within 4 mins a waitress came back to me at the table and said do you want bacon over the chicken, no I said I want it plain. I told her I had phoned up already and told you about this and I was told no problem again she just looked at me and said it's ok we will sort it. Sort it??? Our food arrived and what was supposed to be a plain chicken breast looked like 3 slices of chicken like packet chicken but it was cooked. My huby stared eating the vegetable pudding and he spat out the veg straight away it was solid. Funny texture. My scampi was ok but nothing tasted of anything. No flavour! The garlic bread was as floppy as a wet leaf. It literally looked like it had been dropped on the floor!. A waitress did a courtesy check 3/4 of the way through what we could eat. We told her about the pudding and the garlic bread, she offered another veg pud to which we said no . And more.garlic bread but again we said no it was horrible! My mum said maybe you van take something off the bill. She went back to the kitchen to talk to the chef, we had had enough. Our meal was spoilt and all 3 of us were very dissapointed. We have previously eaten here and had no problems but something has changed and the food wasn't cooked properly, tasteless and they tried to fob us off with crap slices of chicken instead of a full breast like the menu states!!!! These people should be ashamed. They took off pudding and garlic bread and if they didn't I wasn't going to pay for it anyway! The place I'd dusty full of flies, and grubby looking. Have you seen the toilets???? Will not return!! Way way way over priced for tasteless hard un cooked food!
