The Radnorshire Arms in Powys

We went here as a group of 15 people. We had a fixed main course, which was delicious, and a choice of puddings which were also excellent. We were very well looked after, with prompt and attentive service. To be highly recommended.

We had a very enjoyable dinner with friends - both the food and the service were excellent - better still on Tuesday’s the main courses were all at a fixed price of £9.50. Would definitely recommend a visit ….

We were hopeful about having a good and relaxing evening meal at this lovely looking country pub. We asked for a table and the landlady was rude to us and then to our children. We did stay as the kids were hungry but only a few moments after we had sat down, she asked for our order, we asked if we could have another minute to decide and she said ‘no’. Food was good enough although why put salt on salad? The experience was weird and unwelcoming. Won’t be coming back.

The Radnorshire Arms offers a fantastic Sunday Lunch which is always beautiful and excellent value for money (£20 for 3 courses). Always my favourite! Easily the best local for lunch within a 25 mile radius, much much better than other locals.

Stunning sunday roast 5* from us Thank you sue x

What an amazing place. Extremely friendly staff & customers. Who could ask for more. A beautiful building to. Ps. Thanks for our fish & chips made especially for us. It meant a lot.

Best Sunday roast beef dinner we’ve had in along time while visiting friends, advisable to book as gets very busy

If you're passing by or in the area, I couldn't recommend this place enough. Very welcoming and homely, the beers are on the point, the food is beyond amazing, after visiting here twice I can't speak highly enough of the food quality and service. Do yourself a favour and pop in. Many thanks again to all the staff there for making our experience so pleasant. We will definately be returning in the future

We were recommended by Shepherds valley where we staying to try this pub and what a recommendation it was excellent food and a very warm welcome by the member of staff behind the bar 10/10

The Radnorshire Arms is a superb location that upholds all the best traditions of the very best of country pub's. Friendly service - outstanding, high quality, value for money food, cooked to perfection by a very talented chef of high regard. We ate there once on our holiday and ended up going back 4 times, it was that good. Spotlessly clean inside and out with a lovely peaceful garden packed with colourful flowers. 10/10 for the Radnorshire Arms - pubs and food don't come much better than this - Highly recommended!

A big thank you from us all for the outstanding Sunday lunch and service yesterday. Amazing value: the quality, quantity, variety of vegetables, presentation of dishes, extra gravy etc was truly exceptional . Lovely professional and friendly service helped to made our annual get together complete!

Lovely little country pub with very friendly staff and locals.

3 courses for £20 Excellent food and service brilliant by all staff. Thankyou

Stopped here on our way back from holiday and we were so pleased to have stumbled upon this lovely pub. Great food, very welcoming landlady and a really cosy atmosphere. Just right :)

What an absolutely outstanding pub! The landlady and all of the staff are some of the most polite and helpful people I have ever met. The Fish & Chips are up there with the best that I have ever had, and my other half raved about the Carbonara. The Brownie was also to die for. The Ludlow Brewery Gold is phenomenal too! Don't let the 'no dogs' policy cloud your judgement, it's lovely to see a place putting people first. We will definitely back.

Fantastic dining experience with 2 kids and the wife. A good sized menu for a small pub this size. Very warm, welcoming and friendly staff. locals appear friendly. Food was very well cooked and reasonably priced. Would Def go back again if we were in the area. Highly recommend the barnsley chop 👌

Can't really rate the food but the man on the phone was appalling only asked if it was dog friendly and can we sit outside and the answer was well it is pissing down.

I can’t really rate this pub on anything apart from its ‘no dogs policy’. I would have thought a pub in the middle of such beautiful countryside would not have been so short sighted as to not allow dogs. We tried to book a table as we’d heard the food was excellent and we were staying locally, I have an Assistance Dog who goes everywhere with me for medical reasons and we were told we could not bring him to the pub. This is the first time we have ever been refused entry to ANY establishment, not just a pub. To be honest this felt very discriminatory.

Excellent food and service very good atmosphere will go sgain. Meat and vegetables cooked to perfection. The starters were well presented and were delicious

Second meal in a week because the first one was so good! Will be back. Service is faultless, and the food is imaginative and cooked to perfection. I just wish we lived closer, I'd eat here all the time!

Superb Sunday lunch, nearest to home cooked as you could get, 3 courses £19 enough said.

Great food at good price first class service well recommended

I just want to start by thanking the owners here for helping us more than they know on Saturday night after we got a punctured tyre we went in and explained what had happened they let us use their landline numerous times to ring rac! Now the food honestly can say was nothing but AMAZING was made with passion the steak I had was perfection with peppercorn sauce 🤌🏼 drinks and service spot on above and beyond!! We had a great time chatting and drinking with locals great people! After waiting for rac and them still not showing up hours after being told they would the landlord told us he would drive us back to where we was staying not many people would be so kind to do so we was so grateful! Rac finally picked us up and drove us back to the car at the pub and the landlord came out to check on us bless him! Please vist here for a meal or drink you won’t be disappointed! Thank you both again Kylie & Tyler

We were staying nearby and came for an evening meal. This is a lovely cosy pub with beautifully fresh home made food. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and we had a really nice evening. I had a very nice salmon and prawn dish followed by a brownie that was particularly moreish!! We are headed home tomorrow and it was a real treat for our last night. Thanks so much.

Very nice food, beef slightly chewy but three good slices,staff very pleasant and friendly atmosphere

Visited The Radnorshire Arms in Beguildy for Sunday lunch during our holiday in August 2023. We could not get into the pub nearest to our holiday cottage and were sad to see that a number of other pubs in the area have closed/are no longer serving lunch. Found The Radnorshire Arms online and booked based on the positive reviews. It was a 30-minute drive from our accommodation (through some beautiful countryside) and WELL WORTH IT. The roast dinner was lovely and was served with a really good amount of roast potatoes and vegetables, and the best gravy I've had with a pub roast in a long time. The meal was served with gravy on it and came with an extra jug too. Delicious. The child enjoyed the pasta, and pudding was also very good. Summary: Warm welcome, friendly service, lovely food, generous portions, excellent value for money. Would return and would recommend.

The most delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble and all 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We can't wait to visit again when staying back in the area next July.

Visited with a friend for tea and was amazing great service and I will visit again

Amazing meal, excellent service

We were recommended by the place we were staying, and I wish we'd come here every night of our holiday! Very friendly and welcoming clientele, knowledgeable and warm hosts, and the food was excellent. Probably the best tiger prawns I've eaten in my life. Meals were served swiftly and beautifully presented, engaging waiting staff, absolutely delicious. Would thoroughly recommend.

We went on Wednesday 5th July for a meal as we had a dog we had to sit out side as dogs not allowed inside I went to the bar for a menue at 7.45 pm and got told not serving meals any more tonight so went up the road to the Castle dogs are welcome and great food

An early evening dinner for three of us in the garden of the pub. We all selected the Barnsley cut (local) lamb chops as our main course and, on the Chef's (Martin) recommendation, we shared a large portion of whitebait with garlic mayonnaisse dressing as a starter. The whitebait was crisp, chunky, succulent and delicious. The lamb chops followed and were served with mashed potato, fresh vegetables and minted gravy. The chops were outstanding: large (one per person), tender, tasty without being too strong and perfectly cooked - not too rare and not over cooked. The minted gravy was a a revelation as I'd never encountered it previously; and it was an excellent complement to the chops as the taste of the mint did not overwhelm the taste of the lamb; as it sometimes can do with freshly made mint sauce. Two of us had a the house red wine to accompany the meal while I had an excellent local ale: Ludlow Best. The service was prompt, friendly and eficient. A memorably good meal in a lovely environment.

We have eaten here 3 time in our holiday week and enjoyed our meals every time friendly staff and owner all in all a very pleasant experience thank you

Lovely little local pub. Stayed at beacon view pods and had a lovely walk over the tops to get to this quant country pub. Top food and Def worth the visit. Plus the landlord also offered a lift home.... Not sure if that's because we'd had a few..... Or more so as he knew the elevation of the walk back 🤣 top pub, top grub.

Amazing food, reasonably priced and efficient, friendly staff

Beautiful pub with a warm and friendly welcome. Lovely beer garden and the sound of lambs and birds and all sorts of wildlife filled the air. Will definitely be back.

We were here with friends to try out their £9 main meal specials on Tuesday nights. The menu was quite limited, but the main meals had fairly large portions. We had some starters of fried whitebait and prawns on ciabatta, and for main course, we ordered fish & chips and the chicken dish and the food was not bad. Overall it was a pleasant experience and service was good as well.

We went twice while on holiday nearby and ate both times. The pub has a welcoming feel and the garden was beautifully maintained. We both had pints of local Ludlow ale which we highly recommend. Between the two visits we tried the steak, risotto, fish and chips and chicken and chips. All meals were very tasty and generous portions.

Lovely little pub with great food. Everything we had was well cooked and tasted great. Really good Ludlow Ales on tap. Most of all the couple running the place are absolute stars, friendly and kind and an absolute pleasure to meet. I really do recommend this lovely pub if you’re staying near by.

Amazing food served with a smile. We had our Sunday lunch and opted for a 3 course meal which at £18 is amazing. Our hostess suggested we wait to order our dessert, based on how much space we had left and that was so apt as we landed up sharing a dessert. The options for non meat eaters is very limited but I was happy with my delicious bowl of pasta.

Another excellent Sunday roast at The Radnorshire Arms, Beguildy, Powys. Martin and Sue are great hosts and we throughly enjoy eating here. The Sunday lunch is delicious, always seasonal, fresh, hot and plenty of it, offering excellent value for money. Great starters, choice of roast with a veggie and fish option always, delicious pudding with attention to detail. Totally recommend and definitely the best Sunday lunch for a 20 mile radius of Knighton in Powys. Try them out, you won’t be disappointed. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday - Sunday. Thanks guys.

Arrived after a 15 mile walk at 6.30pm to be told icily by the lady at the bar that we were ‘too late for food.’ A sign outside the pub read ‘open 6pm.’ As we sat down the smell of cooking wafted from the kitchen and a couple on the other table were served dinner. Realising the pub had been open only half an hour, I asked the waitress again, who confirmed without explanation that we were too late. I fail to see how a pub can open a kitchen and employ catering staff for only a half hour window, and therefore have to conclude that we were refused service out of pure malevolence! Forced to walk another 5 miles for our dinner on one of the hottest days of the year we were finally served at a far more friendly pub across the border at 8.30pm. I award them 1 star for having the grace to serve us drinks! - update my experience was obviously the exception as it seems all other reviews are positive- just a shame a few words of explanation weren’t given at the time and I wouldn’t have written this negative review

Very lovely food nice service and very reasonable pricing. The locals in the bar were very friendly too. I would go back at the drop of a hat!!@

What a local gem. We enjoyed a fabulous meal here during our first family holiday & first meal out with our baby but it was lovely. A good highchair was provided, there was food offered for him as well had we wanted it. We enjoyed steak & chips and gammon egg & chips. Didn’t realise before coming that Tuesday night had a reduced menu but all mains were £8 which was an added bonus. That said, would happily visit again any day of the week as the food was fabulous. Very attentive waitress served us & the owners were so friendly & made sure they came to say hi to us properly which was lovely. If we hadn’t had a baby with us we would have happily stayed for many lock-ins in this very traditional cosy pub. If you’re in the area it’s a must visit!

Completely lost in the middle of Wales my wife and I came across this pub which appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. It advertised that it was open for meals, so we decided to call in. Were we glad we did the food was first class ,beer great, service excellent, lovely interior. Highly recommended.

Wow, what a roast dinner!! One of the best we've had eating out and so much food! Only managed the main course but it was amazing. I had the lamb and my husband had the beef, both equally delicious. Very friendly and accommodating owners and staff, good wine and Guinness. Definitely recommend and if we come back this way we will definitely go again.

Food was fantastic and we had a warm welcome even though it was obvious we werent locals!! Good prices and food was absolutely amazing, thank you. I inhaled my food it was so nice!!

Owner and staff couldn't be more welcoming, had a truly amazing meal, finished our drinks with the locals, who couldn't have been nicer, chatted and laughed, I would tell everyone and any to go here, if I could have given them 10 stars that still wouldn't be enough

Lovely lunch after stopping on way past. Had the cheese & ham platter between 2 of us. Had plenty & good selection of cheeses. Resonable prices & well stocked bar.

Lovely friendly staff service perfect environment for families Thank you

Having recently moved into the area we decided to try The Radnorshire Arms last night. What a find! A fantastic character pub with amazing food and a warm welcome. We've found our new 'go to' place!

Nice atmosphere and good quality food, we enjoyed, thanks 👍

Rude staff, narrow window of service. Go to Knighton far better 🙌🏼 Swerve

A wonderful meal that was generous and delivered efficiently. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

The land lady is very kind and helpful. Just what’s need 18km into a long hike :)

Very welcoming. Good, well-cooked, imaginative food. Lovely, quiet setting.

Just wanted to put in a plug for this charming little country pub just outside Knighton. The landlady, staff and locals are all very friendly and the food is exceptional. We dined here twice during a recent holiday in this beautiful area, but wish we'd...

We visited this local country pub on a Thursday Evening. Arriving at 7pm, we hadn't booked but upon arrival were told that we could have a table although there would be a small wait as there was a table of 5 in just before us....

Always a good meal there, Sue lovely, had quinea fowl Saturday it was absolutely gorgeous.

We were on holiday this week and I checked out the reviews of restaurants in the area and this one came up. So as not to be disappointed I pre-booked before we started the holiday. I can highly recommend this place not just for the...

Most unwelcoming, made us feel like an inconvenience, give it a miss.

A really interesting building in a quaint village serving one of the most delicious steak and ale pies I have had the pleasure of eating!

If I never lived 250 miles away this would definitely be my new local pub. The staff and regular customers were so friendly and our drinks were perfect. We never actually sampled the food because we had already eaten but we did see food being served and it looked delicious. My only regret is that I live so far away.

Always great food, Mike and Sue extremely welcoming and friendly. Would recommend as also in beautiful setting!

Excellent food and service, from sandwiches to full lunches.

12 of us came for a 5 course taster menu for a friend's 30th. Everything was perfect. Food is always brilliant! Always reccomend.

This is such a great pub, the staff are really friendly and the food was amazing!!

Welcoming pub, good variety of items to choose from and everybody was very friendly. Nice little spot to stop off. 10/10

Stopped in this little place on an alternative route back from Wales. What a gem, very friendly and warm welcome from the owners and good food at a more than reasonable price.

Had an amazing even meal here. Staff were very friendly and service has good.

We visited here whilst Glamping close by. We couldn't fault anything from start to finish. The owners were welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The locals were all friendly and made us feel relaxed and at ease. The food was delicious and had...

Big thanks to the landlady for going above and beyond when we mistakenly booked at the wrong pub for food. She managed to fit us in and kept the kitchen open late just for us! The food was fantastic and we had a wonderful time.

Good traditional pub grub! Lovely location, extremely quick service and a cracking view!

Booked an evening meal at the pub as we were staying a short distance away. We arrived a little early but was shown to our table straight away by a lady I believe to be Sue the landlady. We had two drinks and both had...

So friendly and given a lovely welcome we went to the grave of my mother in law, decided to have lunch before we headed back 2hr journey, we had sandwiches and chips beautiful, fresh and delicious well worth popping in.

After a very vigorous walk, we arrived at the Radnorshire Arms. We were greeted so warmly and the food was fresh and delicious. Thoroughly recommend.

Great food, great welcome and great service. Love this pub.👍👍

We was on holiday for a week so decided to book here every night, and so glad we did the food was amazing, everything we had was lovely, washed down with lots of wine and the local Ludlow beer. Sue and Martyn really made us...

We visited this pub while staying in Beguildy. First went for drinks in the garden and then evening meal. The food was fabulous, steak cooked well and there is a great choice. Sue was friendly and welcoming and we are going back today for the...

Now reopened after a period closed, this is the perfect destination hotel if you’re looking for a quiet weekend away. This part of the Welsh/English border has traditionally been ignored by tourists, who typically want lots of things to “do”. Presteigne is a peaceful country town with some interesting shops, The Judges Lodging - and not much else. So you’re encouraged to wind down and relax, enjoying superb country walking and this excellent old hotel. My room had an ancient beam and panelling which meant the vintage feel was entirely genuine. There was a similar residents lounge nearby for quiet reading and relaxing. The staff were local and very friendly. Breakfast was filling and promptly served. The hotel is not posh, but it is relaxed and comfortable. Highly recommended. Finally, you like cycling or driving along empty roads, friendly locals who are genuinely interested in you, and a break away from 21st Century life then Presteigne is a great place to visit. Most won’t of course - which is fine by me.

Good food from a traditional pub. Much enjoyed, caring thoughtful staff.

'Pub grub' in the best sense of the term – home cooked with fresh (and mainly local) ingredients. Very friendly service.

This is a great pub! We stopped locally and walked 4 miles through the wonderful countryside for lunch and a pint (well a few) at this establishment. We did book in advance but there were tables available but I’m sure in the height of Summer it’ll be very busy. The menu ranges from the usual main meals, sandwiches, light bites and you can order off the specials board. The welcome in to the pub was second to none and the service was perfect. A nice little beer garden to the side and enough to watch the world go by in peace a quite. We picked the weather well so the borders were in full bloom. So would I return….. Yes! Would I walk another 4 miles……. Yes! If fact I’d walk more. Drop in for a great welcome, food at a reasonable price and a local ale, or a Gin, or a cider if you like but go, it’s a cracker of a pub! 👌🏻

We have been to this pub twice while staying in Beguildy the food was excellent as were the staff highly recommend. The best rossato & bread and butter pudding ever.

Had a lovely time the other night with my girlfriend. Great food and great service!

We visited for food and drinks on a Sunday luchtime and arrived at 2pm which is last orders for food. Sue and Martin kindly fed and watered us, which was much needed. The food was excellent, one fish dish and one vegetarian, and an eton mess for dessert. Drinks were very reasonably prices.We decided to visit for lunch again on the Tuesday, and were served another excellent meal and drinks.Highly recommended.

Excellent, reasonably priced food, served by the most efficient and friendly staff I've come across for a long time. Lovely ambience in a room with a roaring fire and all freshly decorated. Super.

Fantastic little country pub feeling, but with big city food. 2nd time myself & my family have been here now. Staff, food & service is better than some of the big name restaurants I have been to in Birmingham. Highly recommend this place. But I guess booking is essential.

We had a lunchtime meal outside on a glorious September day, the food was excellent and Sue and Martin were very welcoming and good hosts. , even providing a bowl of water for Billy Dog!!We were so impressed, we booked a table for the following evening in the restaurant, which was the last day of our holiday.Yet again the food was first class, good pub food, but very well presented and reasonably priced. The menu catered for all of our needs (group of seven) and age groups, from 12 year old to a 59 year old. The steak was cooked to perfection. The home made onion rings were a delight.I can highly recommend a drink or meal here, we were made to feel very welcome on both occasions. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.

We had a birthday meal at the Radnor shire last night. Really nice food. Martin's onion rings are the best! Our puddings were also delicious.

Brilliant food and a warm welcome, well worth a visit even in these covid induced weird times

Excellent beer and excellent food, friendly welcome, can't go wrong! Booking ahead (for food) strongly advised as popular

I was standing outside this pub which is situated on a main road following a long walk with 4 young children we got to the pub to find it was closed! whilst my husband went back to our cottage to collect our car due to very tired children! I purchased our children an ice cream from the shop further down whilst we waited and to keep my children safe we crossed over the road to sit in the pub car park on the concrete away from the road as my two year old daughter is very active and I wanted to keep her safe! I knew the pub was closed but the car park was empty and I did not think it would be an issue sitting on the car park floor to keep my children safe whilst we waited away from the road!This resulted in a very rude lady approaching me with her arms raised shouting to get off her property! I apologised and explained my reason for doing this and then we crossed back over the road and sat on the Kurb roadside! She proceeded to ask to move away from her property and to sit outside the shop with my children whom were sitting down eating there ice creams causing no attention! I refused as I was sat on a public road and pathway!I would not be visiting this pub in future and will certainly not be recommending it! Disgusting behaviour! Not child friendly at all!!!!!!!
