The Punch Bowl Tavern in Powys

Went here at a busy period , but the staff found us a table and we ordered food which was very tasty ✅ the staff were pleasant and jolly , I would highly recommend if your in the area

Always a great meal, informal and relaxed and nice staff

Busy village local with excellent Indian restaurant/takeaway attached.

Fantastic food. Great service Very friendly atmosphere. Extensive menu.

Excellent curry, best I have had in ages.

It's one of the best curry's I've had. And I have had a lot coming from Birmingham. Would definitely recommend this place the flavours in the curry was fantastic 👌

Best Indian in mid Wales and in a pub to boot

The food here was great pub lunch food (only 4 stars because the vegetarian options were a tad limited) but what really stood out was the customer service and atmosphere. The team were simply brilliant at helping us out, ensuring we had what we needed and making our visit a delight. Thank you!

Very good staff Very good service. Thank you. The food was lovely.

Excellent food and friendly staff 👌

Absolutely Fantastic!! Extremely Friendly and Hospitable ! The food was one of the Best Indian Meals we have ever had! We were just passing through staying in our motorhome near by. We live 1.5 hours away but wouldn’t think twice to make the journey!!! Thank You Debbie and Brett

Great food and drink highly recommended

The best Indian food for miles, all the food is cooked to perfection, fantastic staff, would highly recommend to anyone wanting an amazing authentic Indian meal 10/10 👌

Fabulous! Staff absolutely lovely, food reasonably priced and delicious! Hidden gem.

Not a pub curry but a curry in a pub. Good side helping of banter. Highly recommend.. p.s eat those green breans.

Had a takeaway which was excellent and while waiting had a pint served by a very friendly lady and the beer was superb will definitely be back to dine in

Beautiful food and great service , highly reccomended if you are in the area

Lovely find! Been looking for a decent curry since moving to Wales 6 years ago and did not disappoint! Gorgeous food, very reasonable prices. Looking forward to going again 😊

Just visited this pub and was amazed at the Indian food that was served there. Decided to stay and sample it and wasn’t disappointed. Staff excellent too.

Nice food but it took two hours to arrive

Hottest Naga curry I've had! Also very tasty 😋

Fantastic food, great atmosphere

The curry was amazing.. highly recommend

Went to the Punch Bowl on a whim, totally unplanned and was very impressed. It was the nicest lamb saag I've had. The boys who run it are absolutely charming and funny. They travel from Walsall every day and are lovely guys. It was popular on the Friday night as it's near caravan parks. Payments in the pub part are separate from the restaurant, so you won't have a tab. We all enjoyed it and will return. Thank you.

Love this pub beautiful curry and fantastic Sunday Dinner

Excellent take away curry last night. Beautifully tender chicken in my Korma. Naan breads perfect. Rice perfect. Well done guys. Will be back again.

Fabulous meal at a reasonable cost. Lovely friendly staff and people in the pub generally. I am definitely going back!

Takeaway delivery tonight and absolutely stunning. Sagwalla was amazing

Ate here last night whilst visiting the area. The food was really tasty and service was good. I would definitely have curry again here if I am I. The area.

What a place, lovely food, in fact probably the best Indian food I have ever had. Friendly place and wonderful staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Nice cosy small, but busy little pub, watching footie and the spots for a goal, like you at the stadium!! 😂

Good on the punch Bowl tavern was Brilliant we had a takeaway and can I say it was laid out in the tray very nice and when I got to my caravan 20 minutes and it was still very hot to eat 10 /10 very impressed

Good people nice pub have live music at times I vist it a lot myself when that way

Sunday lunch with my partner and her mom, superb along with hot apple pie and custard, looking forward to trying the Indian during weekdays.

Myself and my husband were camping down the road from thus pub and went for our anniversary meal as it was walking distance and we could have a bottle if wine. We was allowed in with our small dog which was perfect, staff very nice and friendly and the food was indian food and it was all freshly cooked (had a bit if a wait fir starter and then main meal after starter but was well worth the wait) it was really tasty and you could tell there was no nasty jars, pastes or additives to the food which was amazing. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Great food and service. Staff friendly... would recommend !

Meal for 4 to celebrate a birthday. Delicious food, staff friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back

We had a lovely evening. The decor is nice, the staff is very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious 😋 really enjoyable and highly recommended! We'll be back soon

Pub has been revamped in the dining area new layout nice corner with relaxing armchairs next to the wood burner, cannot beat a fire going in a pub with a drink also been extended for extra tables for eating new kitchen which is now a full Indian restaurant completely run separately not your basic menu. Great food have been a few times and been amazing very time very professionally run . Wish the 2 chefs restaurant all the best also want to add only place that delivers which is a bonus, sorry forgot to take and pictures was to busy eating will try next time.

On a quick trip to Wales stayed close to the Punch Bowl Tavern. Went or some drinks and some food. £15 for a bottle of wine and around £3/4 for a beer which seemed a good price. The food was basic pizzas, chicken, chips but was cheap and huge portions. One way system around the pub and tables outside and inside. We sat outside due to good weather. Nice afternoon, would recommend.

What can I say, other than the pub has been totally refitted with a complete new dining area. The menus are new, with fresh pizzas available. I particularly like Sunday 3 until 6 as I do not particularly like a Sunday lunch, however there is now a limited menu available. We have just had a steak, and steak and ale pie, both lovely and 2 for £12!!!.I have just booked again for Friday when the full menu is available. You really need to try it to appreciate it!!

This is the first time we've been for Sunday Lunch, although we eat and drink here regularly. I must say that as always the food was of the highest standard. There was a choice of beef, turkey and lamb. 3 of us had turkey and the other beef. There were roasties, 2 yorkies, peas, carrots, parsnips, mash, stuffing, pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese and sprouts. Also a spare pot of gravy. Tak and Pal were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. There are a choice of desserts, however we were too full. Definitely recommend and definitely be back for Sunday lunch.

Dropped in a couple of times - just missed Sunday lunch but will definitely be back as we have heard the food is excellent - lovely atmosphere - good pint

We go to the punch bowl every week and are always made welcome by Tak, Pal and the staff. It's a local pub and is situated in a village. The pub has been decorated to the highest standard. We eat there most weeks and the food is always freah and piping hot, having been cooked to order. The prices are very reasonable and there is a choice of English or Indian food as well as a children's menu. We have never had a bad experience here and it is to be highly recommended.

Decided to go for our wedding anniversary lunch at The Punch bowl tavern after hearing good reviews for the venue. Wasn't disappointed as the food was cooked to perfection and the service was how you would expect. Would definitely recommend to anyone who fancies a great meal in a great location.

Well I have to say today's visit was a major disappointment. We arrived at 12. 00 after booking a table and had a choice of tables. All went well until the first waitress chucked down a bowl of luke warm cauliflower cheese, 5 minutes later one if our main meals arrived, followed shortly by my partners. The cauliflower cheese was cold at this stage and had to go back to be microwaved. Roast potatoes were not cooked enough, the gravy was so thick I think I could have walked on it. Pork was minimal, certainly not worth 9.95. Kind of put off eating a desert by the waitress constantly tugging at her leggings and pulling them up her bum, she did this everytime she walked back in the kitchen. Very unhygienic and very off putting. Canceled our desert, paid for the main meal left hungry and never to return. No I did not complain, as to be honest I did not want to get wound up. Just won't come back.

We arrived and we were greeted and shown to our able .We looked at the menu and ordered Sunday lunch which was excellent .The staff were very helpful which made they day pleasant .There were good facilities available and everything was clean .There was live music in the bar area and customers were able to sing along .It is well worth a visit on your way into Wales ,Lake vyrnwy is not far away ,Oswestry and Welshpool ,Guilsfield are close by .Hope you.enjoy your visit as we did .

We were staying as a group locally,took a walk Sat afternon and then popped into the pub. Lovely pub,nice friendly staff,guys who own it very welcoming. Spent a nice couple of hours there,locals all friendly. Myself and hubbie returned Sunday for a roast,great value and lovely food.

Today is Remembrance Sunday. Marking Armistice Centenary.Great & Friendly Greetings. Every expectation met from pre-booking (you don't have too). Sunday lunch menu with excellent choices. The food is genuinely superbly cooked and very well presented. Really, 5****. Service with a smile and ready to make ensure of your day is special. It really was.There are new owners since we last visited (July 2017). They have created a such a wonderful atmosphere of great dining & fun. Thank you all so much.Roy & Linda

We had a great lunch here last Sunday. Plenty of variety of food. Looking forward to Curry on Friday.

Visited this pub whilst on a caravan trip. Menu consisted of sausages, chicken nuggets, scampi, burgers all with chips so if you like this sort of food you will be fine.The godsend for us was that Paul noticed curry written on an old menu and the barman said he could make us one. It was lovely just a shame it came with chips! All in I wouldn’t go back.

We walked to pub with loud music and full of builder/workman playing pool. The restaurant part was adjacent to this. This is not a family friendly establishment. However, the staff were very friendly and the good was good although the burger was so over cooed that it snapped when trying to cut it. There was no acceptance of the poorly cooked meal nor any offer of a non payment of s non eaten meal. Would I go back again? Yes, but I now know what to expect and it is a average.

What a warm welcome we received when we travelled here today for lunch, having heard great things about the food & atmosphere. We weren't disappointed! The wine was really tasty, the staff really helpful and our Sunday lunch was amazing. Thank you to Scott & Nick, the owners, for a lovely Sunday afternoon. Well worth the trip, we will be back!

Use this little gem of a pub on a regular basis, Scott & Nick always give all guests a warm welcome, The food is delicious with generous portions, and the traditional beer is kept as it should be,

new years day lunch fantastic menu choice fantastic price and the most amazing meal ever

We have visited this Restaurant on several occasions and the food is outstanding. The owners Scott and Nick make you feel so welcome you keep going back. It is ideal whether you are dining or just drinking the real Ales..

We have eaten here several times over the past couple of years and thought it time we left a review. It’s a typical village inn which I would imagine is mostly frequented by locals. Each time we have had Sunday lunch and without fail each time we are impressed and intend to return.

The Punch Bowl is local to us, so visit quite regularly.

This is my local pub, but as far as food is concerned, it is as good as you can get anywhere.well presented,well cooked and reasonably priced.Good locally produced wholesome food.The pub itself has a good aura and the staff are all friendly and helpful.my husband assures me that the beer is equally as good.
