This was one of the best Inns in this area and used by many locals and tourists who all had great service and food both at lunch times and evenings. We are local and are now finding our way around other local places to eat. Try The Tram Inn Eardisley which is our choice to date. Also Black Mountain lodge at Glasbury is a good Sunday Lunch. Avoid Hay-on-Wye, all too expensive and not very exiting.

Un encantador pub fuera del camino. Paré aquí mientras conducía desde el Gower de Shropshire. La comida y el servicio era excelente. El ambiente era maravilloso, muy viejos tiempos taberna clandestina con chimeneas. La única pega es que los baños eran una corta distancia fuera. Lo visitamos en verano, así que no fue un problema, pero me imagino que es muy fría en invierno. No obstante recomendaría una visita para el ambiente y la comida.

Always good, lovely roasts with all the trimmings, super veg and great tasting gravy, followed with a pudding (got to finish with a pud). Such a pity it's closing. Best wishes to Colin and family for the future.

Otra gran el almuerzo del domingo en el Radnor Arms, carne asada y Yorkshires - ¿qué más se puede pedir? Es una pena escuchar que se cierre en enero, otro pub histórico del pueblo a convertirse en una casa. Resulta difícil de entender en este caso, ya que está siempre ocupado - si no reservas que no.

Este lugar fue elegido para una familia bastante grande el domingo juntos (unos 15) y estamos contentos con la elección. El Inn tiene vistas preciosas desde el exterior y el interior sin duda no nos decepcionaron, casco, peculiar y un ambiente encantador ... personas altas pueden tener de pato cabeza cuando vas a través de la puerta ... pero todo lo que le da más encanto. Nuestras comidas fueron entregados al mismo tiempo (no siempre es fácil) y eran todos disfrutamos. Bueno, para mí y la otra come carne, era bastante underdone pero que es una elección personal así que de ninguna manera podría Mark les como en los estándares del chef que había sido perfectamente preparado. También se les había acabado de helado de vainilla así que tuve que elegir algo pero el sticky toffee pudding es una excelente elección. El personal eficiente y felices en su trabajo. Estamos todos en varias zonas del país que nunca había probado este establecimiento antes pero estuvo de acuerdo en que, aunque probablemente no volvería en un grupo tan grande.

He visitado el Radnor Arms tres veces en el mes pasado y haber sido impresionados cada vez la deliciosa comida. Yo he visitado por una comida completa de la noche, tiempo para almorzar y para una comida más ligera de sopa justa, todo precioso y recién preparado en el lugar. El servicio era rápido y amable y toda la experiencia, en las tres ocasiones, una delicia. Es aconsejable reservar con antelación ya que a menudo se llena. Sin duda merece la pena una visita.

We drove especially to have dinner there but it was closed! I suppose we should have checked but on a Sunday night who'd expect a roadside inn to be closed? So DO CHECK BEFORE GOING...

I had an early evening light meal here after an afternoon walk. Service was prompt and courteous, and the food was good. I would have given an extra star if the bread-and-butter accompanying my dish had been real butter rather than margarine 'spread'.

Podemos recomendar el cerdo asado de danza del vientre con dos veces fue sugerida preciosa chisporroteante de cerdo excelente con la sidra y Apple salsa, el limón Posset con Bayas y suaves, el merengue con una sosegada de nata y fresas.

We drove into the near empty carpark at 12.20, noticing that lunch was due to be served at 12.30. Having ordered our drinks we asked about food and was told that there wasno chance of us eating as the restaurant was fully booked. No alternatives were offered such as a sandwich, and the attitude of the member of staff who spoke to us was surly and indifferent to our needs.

We had Sunday lunch here and felt moved to write a review .The pub and garden are delightful ,with panoramic views from the garden lawns.The main course arrived promptly and looked very attractive , generous portions with a side of perfect vegetables. What made it really stand out from any previous Sunday lunch was the flavour and seasoning ; every morsel tasted wonderful ! No pretentious swirls , blobs and "jus" but top quality ingredients cooked with exceptional care and skill .All served with pleasant efficiency.We had to have a dessert !The posset was a novelty and turned out to be a winner ,creamy lemonyness serves with a summer berry compote .The sticky toffee pudding was light and moist , suffused with different shades of caramel.It's a shame we live so far away , the locals are privileged to have such a treasure in their midst

We were staying locally so ate at this Inn for two nights. Both evenings the food was generous portions and delicious. The Inn had a nice cosy atmosphere and the staff were very helpful. The menu choice is not vast and by 6.30 pm on the second night 2 dishes were off the menu couldn't quite understand why.

We live in the Hay-on-Wye area and this country pub ticks all the boxes for us. Book for a Sunday lunch and you will enjoy really top class roasts, interesting starters and wonderful home made sweets. A great atmosphere, good wines and beers and always lots of local people dinning. Reasonable prices and top class service. Evenings late in the week are also first class with Percy, the manager always helping to make the evening most enjoyable and again the food is all top quality and is better than you will find in most places in overpriced Hay-on-Wye

Set in the valley it has beautiful views out the back in the beer garden of the hills, amazing at sunset. The food itself was delicious I had a very nice fish pot followed by a sort of brownie/ice cream cake with what we thought was a quince on top. It was a very imaginative menu when you expect just 'pub grub' but it was delicious. I would have enjoyed having some music on in the background, but that's a personal taste as I don't like overhearing other people's loud conversations!

This is the place to enjoy excellent food and drink in an Olde World Inn with atmosphere in abundance. The staff are all friendly and very helpful with the menu changing regularly. If you want a real Sunday Lunch this is the place with locally sourced meat and vegetables and try the Lemon Posset or Meringue to finish. You will not be disappointed.

Can there be any better place to enjoy a Sunday roast than this perfect proper pub in the beautiful Wye Valley? Just a stone's throw into Wales, so enjoy a lovely pint of Butty Bach to wash down that very reasonably priced lunch. Excellent, friendly service to boot.

Called in here late on Sunday for a roast lunch and made welcome despite being close to the lunch session ending. Locally sourced roast beef was good and the bonus was the freshly roasted vegetables which were very tasty. A good hearty lunch. Finished with some nice desserts inc very tasty ice cream. A very good value £15 head inc drinks.

The food and service here easily excel anything to be found in Hay. The cooking is better andalso represents far greater value for money, making the short drive well worth it. Percy, behind the bar and general manager, is very hospitable and obviously cares about his customers. We went for two evenings. Our mains were very tasty and the desserts, so often a disappointment, were also great. If the chocolate and almond cake or the almond and honey cheesecake are on, try them ! Two very pleasant rooms and a relaxed atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for quality food and you feel the place has the interests of its customers in mind, far more so than in Hay.The only slight quibble would be that the white wines sold by the glass could be slightly better. But highly recommended and advisable to book in advance for busier times.

We had a great Sunday lunch here today. Fortunately we had booked a few days earlier but even then we had to eat in the Summer House. The Summer House was quirky and would be a great place to eat in the Summer. However the food was great. A lovely roast beef with delicious home made yorkshires. The veg was freshly cooked to perfection and the desserts were amazing. The sticky toffee pudding looked huge but was so light it went down a treat. My panacotte was delicious with berries, It also stocked my favourite Welsh bitter - Wye Valley - Butty Bach,We will definitely be visiting again. Also it was good value for money..

We called last Saturday at 6pm to see if we could get a table(s) for 15 people but obviously they were full. While deciding what to do we got a call back saying they would open the summer house for us! When we got there they were preparing the summer house in the garden. Perfect for such a large group with noisy kids. Heaters on it was great. Free prawn crackers on the bar, lovely freshly prepared food, a great specials board and fantastic puddings. Service was excellent. Also did a good range for our wheat intolerant son.Not many pubs would have gone to such an effort when they were already full on a Saturday night!An awesome place - thank you very much.

We rang up on the way to enquire if they would be able to accommodate 15 people for dinner which unfortunately they were fully booked. Within 5 minutes a phone call back said they could put us all in the Summer House which by the time we got there was all prepped and lovely and warm. It was perfect for a large group and everything was relaxed and never too much trouble. The food was superb and everything arrived at the same time with great service. Thank you.

Thursday nights are Tapas nights, and jolly good they are too. A friend and I called in a couple of weeks ago and had the most wonderful evening. Extensive tapas menu. The breads, olives, oils and cured meats are really good. Butterflied sardines are great. The langoustines are good too, and so are the bruschetta, especially the one with the anchovies. The seafood and the pork casseroles were good too. Everything was just perfect. The service from Percy is impeccable. Josh the young chef was cooking the night we were there and he's very good! The flavour of the star anise in the squid dish was just divine. The Rioja was also very good. Looking forward to another visit!

The Radnor Arms offers you everything you want from a country pub, a lovely traditional atmosphere and good quality food at a very reasonable price.The building itself is steeped with character and the staff are very attentive to the needs of its patrons. Percy, who has been mentioned in previous reviews was behind the bar and was very welcoming and more then happy to help the bar itself was very well equipped. The food was first class and exactly the kind you want when you step into a pub of this nature. The chef who I believe was the owner definitely knows his way around a kitchen, my wife and I will definitely go back when in the area.

A real gem of a pub in the hills over looking Hay on Wye. We had a big family gathering here for lunch, and had a great time. The specials board was as long as the normal menu, filled with a range of good dishes like pork belly, Spanish seafood casserole, Thai green curry, leg of lamb, roast chicken and vegetable stack. Along with a local ale, the food was really tasty and served with loads of vegetables or salad. Dessert menu was just as extensive and really good portions. It was another wet Welsh day so we didn't explore the gardens but there's a number of tables outside. The landlord chef was very welcoming and chatty. Well behaved dogs welcome too. If you're visiting Hay it's well worth a drive out to this cosy little pub.

Given all the positive reviews, we went here for lunch on Bank Holiday Sunday. Very limited menu - two roasts and fish bake in a cheese sauce. So I decided to have 2 starters (all of which were fish based). One of them was sold out. So roast it was.Yorkshire puds - I think they were pre-cooked and reheated - very dusty. Roast potatoes - suspect they were fried rather than roasted for a long time. Just not very good.Service was nice, and we sat in the new summer house with a fab view over the hills....but with a lot of dog portraits on the wall......hmm. If you're not doggy then it's not very appetising. Loos - a bit primitive. Really don't get the fuss at all.

Just returned from 3 nights camping in the field at the pub with friends. I ate in the pub on Friday night and had a pizza marinara which was excellent, proper anchovies make a change. interesting menu, reasonable prices, friendly staff. The camping facility was charming with good hot clean showers, fire pits and a boot room aka campers kitchen where you could boil water, make toast and get out of the wet if necessary, Great view from tent too. Will be going again if I get to that part of Wales another time.

We camped overnight at the pub. Clean toilets and showers, but have never had on a campsite before, what they called their 'Boot Room'. What a fabulous room. It was done out like a country kitchen with chairs, benches and tables, butler's sink and boiling water, washing machine and tumble dryer, AND kettle and toaster. Great idea for those cold and wet days of British summer. We ate in the pub in the evening (booking recommended) and had a lovely meal in great surroundings served by great staff. The manager himself was so welcoming, we're going to most definitely going to stay there again. This place is a definite must !

I've been to this restaurant many times in the evening and have no complaints but was disappointed the two times I had Sunday lunch there. I went for the beef both times (forgetting my first experience) and found it incredibly chewy both times - so chewy, in fact, that I got bored trying to eat it and left most of the meat; a shame, as the rest of the meal was lovely.

We walked out from Hay on a damp Saturday and were hoping for a decent hot meal for lunch. The menu didn't include anything hearty like sausage and mash or shepherd's pie. We didn't really want an expensive fish dish - we weren't with friends and it wasn't a special occasion. We were the only customers there. You ought to think about simple, filling stuff for lunchtime. What we had was fine but not filling and rather expensive.

We looked in to this establishment on our way back to our hotel and were impressed with the building and Percy, the barman.We returned for dinner, my starter was smoked salmon, which consisted of leaves 2 pieces of salmon, quite small and 1/2 a slice of brown bread and butter cut into 2 pieces. The cost £ 5.90My husband had a lamb burger, salad leaves and fries delicious at£8.50. I had the fish pot, leaves, fries and a ramekin of assorted fish topped with a herb crust. There was no more than 150g fish and the waiter never came near the table so that I could express my thoughts that£10.90 was far too expensive. On collecting the plates I complained and He said he would speak to Colin Thompson, chef proprietor. We assumed an adjustment would be made accordingly, so after my husband had eaten his meringue we asked for the bill. No adjustment! And Colin Thompson, chef proprietor was no longer around.If you want good honest priced food do not visit here.There is the Railway Inn in Dinmore or The Baskerville arms just a mile away.Oh and by the way if you want to visit the bathroom it is outside about a 6 metre walk over cobbles.

We had Saturday lunch at the Radnor Arms which is a lovely old pub, cosy and warm on a cold day. The service was good and the food very good. We both had a main meal only, lamb rump steaks with beautifully prepared vegetables and a very large beef rump steak also accompanied by beautiful local vegetables. Both meats were very tender and the sauces delicious.The price for two including a bottle of wine, under 40 GBP. You don't get much better than this ! A wonderful place to visit and have a meal.

This is a nice enough pub with a decent range of food - if you eat meat or fish. However, in common with all pubs in the area, the vegetarian choice is very limited (nut roast was the main option with a vegetable stack as a special). The nut roast was average, not particularly tasty. Didn't bother with starter or dessert. Ok for a passing bite to eat but not worth a special trip.

The SO and I changed our minds about lunch at the fleshpot that is LLangoed Hall and decided to give the Radnor Arms a try. We arrived at 1230 to an already busy bar. Gentlemanly Percy greeted us and we ordered the roast beef, seated in the cosy dining area we awaited our luncheon. Five minutes and it was with us. Two heaped plates. two platters of mixed roasted veg and a piping bowl of cauliflower cheese. The beef was perfect a cm thick slice of just the right side of rare sirloin. Real gravy without the aaargh-bisto look and crispy roasties and fluffy yorkies. Hat's off to Colin Thompson for the best value Sunday lunch in Hay.

Just over an hours walk from Hay on a rainy day, we were hoping to find a little pub with decent beer and proper pub food, and The Radnor Arms was perfect. On a weekday lunchtime there were still enough people to give it a nice atmosphere, the food was amazing with an extensive choice of fresh fish specials. There was only 1 ale on tap (Butty Bach) at the time of our visit, but from the display of pump labels behind the bar it looked like there is also usually a guest beer. Highly recommended, will definitely go back.

This pub offers a wide range of food, at reasonable prices. Portions are generous. I had Sea Bass from the specials board with ginger and lime with fresh vegetables on my first visit, after sharing a scallops starter with my husband. He had a very tender rump steak, with hand cut chips. On our second visit I had the saddle of lamb which was so tender, and he had a burger, which was by no means a second best to other mains on the menu. The desserts looked amazing, if only I had room! Add to this good local beer and a reasonable wine list, this pub has it all. Friendly helpful staff. booking is advised!

We weren't disappointed.Cosy quaint pub, lovely open fire, great atmosphere and welcoming attentive service. Good choice of local ciders. Lots of meat and fish dishes including a daily blackboard menu. Boys had home made beefburgers and real chips with relish and side salad which was perfect for them.

Chef patron Colin Thompson has been in and around Hay on Wye for the last 25 years and has mostly served some excellent and some outstanding meals. It is only very recently that I heard that he is now the owner of the Radnor Arms, a charming whitewashed historic pub near the English Welsh border, on the north side of the river Wye a couple of miles from the Kilvert village of Clyro. It is not really a pub, more a restaurant with a bar, and plenty of outside seating for the summer months.The best features are the generous portions and the fair prices. At my most recent visit a soupe de poisson with rouille (£5.70) was of intense well balanced flavours, fresh and hot served with very nice bread. New english asparagus with hollandaise and panacetta (also £5.70) was all of fine quality. Being a Sunday lunch we both had the beef (£8.90) with really good yorkshires, and precisely cooked vegetables. Just one dessert was all that we felt able to order, a whisky and vanilla creme brulee (£4.70) which tasted well of both. A very light crispy caramel topping showed that Mr Thompson has great technical skills. Nice coffee (£1.80) and a surprisingly good Nero d'Avola from Sicily, full bodied and lots of fruit and just £13.45. So for a generous affordable meal in a traditional country inn ambience with pleasant unfussy service the Radnor Arms would take some beating.

This is the kind of place you might come across by chance and think no one else has ever discovered! We stumbled down across the fields on the advice of the lovely people from whom we rented a nearby cottage and had a fabulous sunday lunch with our teenage children. Lamb and beef were perfectly cooked and there was a lovely selection of seasonal vegetables to share. Leeks melted in a subtle cheese sauce , parsnips and carrots were delicately caramelised and there were turrets of yorkshire puddings pooled with gravy. Desserts were huge slices of banoffee pie and a soft creme brulee with a frost-crisp crust.The atmosphere was convivial , with everyone admiring the menu choices of the neighbouring tables and wondering at the portion sizes. Staff were friendly and efficient . A perfect day and a wonderful place!

We have driven past this delightful little pub numerous times on our way to or from Cardiff always intending to one day stop and have a drink - we finally managed to do this on Sunday and boy oh boy are we glad we did. The pub was packed with diners who were obviously enjoying Sunday lunch. After ordering our drinks at the bar from a very pleasant barman and managing to sit at the only table which was not occupied we then asked if there was any chance of ordering a Sunday lunch - we seriously expected the answer to be no as we hadn't booked and the place was packed. "yes no problem" was the answer. We were then offered the choice of 3 meats. The lunch was absolutely fantastic with both meat and veg cooked to perfection. The staff were all very pleasant and took the time to talk to us. All in all this delightful little pub is a fabulous find for us and a real credit to its owner. Warm, hospitable and homely - what more can you ask for!Can;t wait until we visit again.

We were taken to this lovely quaint old pub restaurant just outside Hay on Wye by my aunt to celebrate our birthday's. We had the traditional Sunday roast dinners of beef and lamb. The food was absolutely delicious, service was quick and efficient, the staff were charming and we felt extremely welcome and relaxed. Everything was of a very high quality, beatifully prepared and presented, probably the most outstanding dish (if I had to pick one) was the whisky creme brulee WOW! the best I have ever tasted.We can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes on the menu.A fantastic location, amazing views from the garden, a real treat not to be missed if you're in the area.

After a morning canoeing on the River, around 30 of us came to The Radnor Arms for lunch. It was a gorgeous sunny day so quite a few of us sat outside and enjoyed the stunning views of the Black mountains. We received a warm welcome and our meals came out efficiently and well presented. Well done and we are sure to be back!Nichola from Hereford

Went to Radnor Arms for a meal with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. The meal was exceedingly good, I had the scallops with chorizio...excellent. We were more than pleased with the quality and presentation of the meal, which also, wasn't too expensive...Very friendly atmosphere...with stunning views over the Black Mountains. Will be re-visiting as often as my wallet can stand it!!!

This is the Marches at its best. Lively atmosphere and the day we ate packed to the rafters with diners. Our food was fab and we drank rather too much of the local ale. (The bar manager - Percy ran us back to the BB) Make sure you book for dinner and enjoy the cooking of Colin Thompson.

I live about thirty miles from this fabulous restaurant and I'm glad its not closer or i would eat there all the time. The food is just terrific, generous portions, beautifully presented, fantastic flavours, a wonderful menu. the qualtiy of the ingredients many local, ( the lamb is my personal favourite) One of the few places I have ever found where all three courses are equal in quality. I've taken friends and family and its now become my venue of choice for family celebrations. The chef owner clearly loves what he does and it shows, the friendly waiter is always obliging and the welcome is genuine. The value is also outstanding a typical three course dinner for four people being about £100. The only drawback is that its not open every day in the winter, so check before travelling.

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
