The Royal Oak Hotel in Powys

Beware. 10 percent service charge on food. Does anywhere else in Powys do this? Plus over three quid for half of lager. Jeez.

Very good service and selection for GF customers. Very nice inside. Great selection of drinks. Dog friendly. Been to Welshpool many times but never been in here - will certainly return

The staff are lovely and its very clean there but I always have to wait for food (average 40 mins). This I would expect for a big meal but for a snack I think this is too long.

Quite expensive £9 for beans on toast

Stayed over for one night work related visit. Check in was good, very straightforward. Car parking was very tight and difficult to locate however a quick google sorted that. Bed was comfortable and room was nice. Some areas of the hotel looked dated and could do with an upgrade. Disappointed that although supplied with a kettle and means to make tea and coffee, also a glass…there was no bottle of drinking water available in the room. I would expect that at a basic level for the star rating. Visited the pub, friendly bartender. Breakfast was very basic, and small portions on the cooked side, variety of pastries, juices and very tired looking pots of fruit to help yourself to. The service in the restaurant was really good though, very attentive staff. My Room was really warm (as a bonus there was a fan in the wardrobe) and when I mentioned it upon checkout I was told ‘well it’s an old building you know’ quite bluntly. Reception clerk could do with more customer service training if I’m honest. Would stay again but nothing special.

Have been here a few times before and always had good experiences. Sadly, today was not up to usual standards. Service was incredibly slow. Food was barely warm. I had the hanging chicken which was quite dry with a few bits of burnt pepper or onions. I found a waitress and asked for some mayonnaise to go with it and to cheer up a salad that had no dressing on at all. We were debating whether to go here or the cornstore and sadly, we made the wrong decision. My family member had the burger and whilst it was a big portion, it looked very greasy. I had sticky toffee pudding for desert. The caramel sauce was lumpy and congealed as if it was reheated. My family member had the creme brûlée and said it was very good. Today was a treat from a family member for my birthday. Upon sitting down, I saw on the menu, there’s a birthday offer for a free main course and dessert if you can prove your DOB which I could. I enquired about it and said my birthday was in two days. The waitress said I couldn’t do it as it wasn’t my birthday that day. Seemed very mean as I explained to her I’m working a ten hour shift on my actual birthday so am unable to celebrate on the day. She shrugged and didn’t seem bothered. I have given three stars with past experience in mind but today’s visit really was worth less. I won’t be in a rush to return

The menu Reads, delicious, but it ends there , garlic focaccia bread , £4.95 , is in fact ONE Single slice , cut in half , a smear of butter , no flavour at all , speechless , needless to say that went back ! Hanging Bellypork kebab etc , reads amazing , comes out , 1x strip of bellypork , cut into 5 pieces , onion and paper , laid on a plate with frozen chips , the only thing hanging is my mouth , again speechless ,a mere £17 for this plate of disgrace , everything is bought in , and shoved out , Not for me Thankyou ! Felt sorry for the young waitress tbh , who was so polite and professional! 10/10 for her 👍

Called in while visiting the area for the day, bar staff not very attentive. Ordered 2 cokes, 1 cider and 1 pale ale almost £18. Pale ale was flat and was sent back. Got a glass of red wine instead £10.30. Vheaper in London. What a rip off. Won't be going again.

Only had food and a drink, lovely place and brilliant staff. Dog friendly, too.

At the end of a long day spent exploring nearby Powis Castle & Gardens the natural follow-on seemed to be dinner in Welshpool. The Royal Oak Hotel provided just the right solution. Arriving with my wife promptly at 6.00 p.m. we were shown to the reserved table of our choice, where we were able to relax into comfortable seats to peruse the wine list and menu. Taking our time we enjoyed an aperitif Bottega Poeti Rose Prosecco whilst awaiting our starters of Teriyaki Pork Bao Bun served with spicy mayonnaise, and Smoked Salmon with pea and dill bonbons. For our main course the choices were Coachman`s Chicken. Butterfly chicken breast, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, slaw and fat cut chips; and grilled whole Plaice accompanied by Provencal vegetables, samphire and rocket, roasted peppers and caper dressing. In an unhurried and relaxed setting the food fulfilled our expectations in terms of cooking, presentation, seasoning, and taste. Table service was particularly good, and notably during each course a discreet enquiry was made as to satisfaction. With only myself able to find room for a dessert I opted for a classic creme brulee to complete the meal. Reviews are all, of course, about personal experiences and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in the cozy and atmospheric environment. Our fellow diners appeared to encompass residents, reserved tables (like ourselves), and walk ins, which we thought represented a good market mix. A very pleasant ending to our visit.

This was a nice meal for two on a last minute overnight stay in Welshpool. 2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, 2 mains and a bottle of wine came to £113. For starters: The crispy cauliflower bites were hot and crispy with a delicious peanut sauce. The salmon bonbons were OK but needed more salmon and an extra one to make it 3 per serving would have been even better. The mains consisted of: pork belly hanging kebab with chips and Asian slaw and the dirty burger with loaded fries and onion rings. The kebab came with more delicious peanut sauce and the slaw was crunchy and slightly pickled. The burger was tasty but overloaded with bacon and cheese bechemel sauce on top of the pulled pork, perhaps a step too far! Overall we were pleased with the service, the venue was clean and the food was quite good.

Terrible attendance. If you are not a guest and arrive at the restaurant through the pub, the pub attendant tells you that you should go to the restaurant attendant. I reached the pregnant waitress at the restaurant who told me to return to the pub. I returned and waited more than 10 minutes without any service. I got up and went to question the pregnant woman, at which point the other concerned attendant went to see what was happening. Only then did someone come to assist us. I won't go back and I don't recommend it

I don't know because I wasn't there

We ate at the restaurant, staff attentive and friendly but not overly so. Good range of food and drinks. Will definitely visit again. We didn't stay at the hotel so unable to rate rooms.

What can I say just disappointed 😞 been coming here off and on for a few years came in Dec 23 had a meal and was disappointed but thought it was a one off not so todays family meal was even more disappointing. Firstly we were told there was no fish ! we then ordered our mains 2 had turkey one had nut roast which was burnt on one side and uncooked on the other !! Hardly any veg I has 2 half pieces of carrot, partially cooked kale and burnt cauliflower cheese!! It the came to dessert and we were told no cream brule or another pudding my husband had a cheese platter which was ok we then had coffee one of which was supposed to be an Irish coffee but unfortunately this one was without the whiskey!!! The restaurant has certainly changed since the change of hands. It was a lovely bright day outside with the sun shining but unfortunately it showed the several cobwebs hanging on the inside of the windows !!! The only really good thing was Heidi the waitress she was friendly helpful and chatty. We won't be coming back sorry 😐

Avoid this restaurant at all costs (if you can call it that). We both ordered our meals, I had a beef dinner which was terrible, the beef was at least 50% fat and grisell and my friends first wanted a chicken dinner but there was no chicken on the menu for a Sunday dinner so she had to order a type of fish dinner which was ment to be cod but when it came out we were told it was hake and the fillet of fish was absolutely terrible the top of it was sooooo mushy, it was like mash potato and the bottom half was hard and it was impossible to cut. I then had to complain to the staff and then my friend ordered another meal and she asked them for a chicken and chips ect meal which they said they could make and the waitress said it would take about 10minutes. When that meal came to use the chips looked good but we're not cooked enough and they were cold, the chicken was terrible it was literally like a brick, I could not even stab it with a folk. Hence as soon as this happened i asked for the bill to leave to eat somewhere else. The one good thing that I can say is that they would not except payment for any of the other food and drinks that we had. I definitely will not be going there again until they have a new chef.

Disappointing. The service and food do not live up to the lovely building. The extremely basic and underwhelming Buddha bowl for lunch was vastly overpriced at £14 and a few fries on the side cost another £6. Everything was a chore from getting cutlery and condiments to forgotten request for water jug. The tomato soup was more like a spicy ragu sauce. Down to the loo and buckets under holes in the ceiling. I've been before and recommended the place but it was not worthy any more. The coffee was nice.

Nice old hotel with friendly staff but my liver and bacon was not nice. Bullet hard inedible liver, congealed gravy, dry mash and no seasoning. I suspect left under warming lights too long? The waitress said she’d tell the chef, I hope she did. Beer good, but overall disappointing.

We booked this as a stopover on the way to Chester for Christmas. Saturday 23rd. Lovely welcome, friendly staff. The room was huge, exceptionally clean warm and welcoming. We had a meal in the restaurant again excellent and attentive staff, breakfast was spot on too. Big shout out to Mandy on reception😊 Mr and Mrs Santa loved every minute 😊

Delicious Sunday Lunch, we had lamb shoulder & the boy, beef. Great, friendly service. Lovely desert menu too, but we couldn't manage another course. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome, dog friendly (very). Great coffee too. I have not stayed at the hotel as I am fairly local. I stop off on dog walking trips.

went to meet friends for a long weekend Welshpool itself was lovely Shrewsbury worth a visit And try stumble inn for meal.. Superb

We stumbled upon this hotel and were glad we did. A pleasant dining room and good service. Our fish and chips were lovely with nice homemade tartare sauce.

Gentil personnel mais nourriture peu gourmande 6 couverts un samedi soir… cela aurait dû nous alerter Déjà incapacité à fournir un burger à la cuisson demandée donc c’est au client de s’adapter et de changer de plat Les plats servis sont sans goût : inodores et sans saveur Aucune réaction alors que l’une des assiettes est revenue quasi pleine et l’autre à moitié Nous n’avons pas osé tester les desserts bien entendu Mauvaise expérience mais comme nous ne reviendrons pas car étrangers cela leur importe peu…

The lunch time menu was surprisingly disappointing for a four star hotel. I had fish cakes which looked as if they had been made on the premises and unfortunately overcooked on the premises as well, unlike the vegetables that we under cooked. They gave me the wrong desert which I declined but the kitchen just put the desert into an sundae dish and put cream over it to hide the contents. They decided not to charge me for the desert and also gave me a discount on our other food. Would I go again - NO!

We prebooked an afternoon tea for two adults and one child to celebrate our anniversary. We chose this venue specifically because of the superb looking childs offering. Sadly when our order arrived they had incorrectly ordered three adult afternoon teas. This left my daughter upset, as there was very little on there she would eat and she was looking forward to what the website showed. The staff on the floor tried their best with the situation, and i can't fault them for that, but it simply wasn't the same as her receiving her actual childs afternoon tea that we ordered. They did the right thing and removed the charge at least as i would have refused to pay it had they not. On the whole, the food was good, the waiting staff excellent, but the booking and planning very poor. Not somewhere i would book again for a special occasion

We had a 3 course Christmas meal and there was so much wrong with it. Not only expensive but the food quality was poor and not much of it either. The lady who served us was nice but the 2 meals and a glass of wine each cost £70 and we left feeling very underwhelmed. Also there was no christmas ambience and the chairs were dirty. I wanted it to be great as businesses are struggling but so are customers and it is even more important we feel like we get value for money. Wish we went to the local Morrisons instead for our Christmas meal.

Very comfortable room breakfast was excellent all the staff were friendly and helpful price of drinks were on the high side parking was available at the rear of property difficult to find at first suggest you contact hotel as you near Welshpool for directions

We had stopped here previously on way on holiday and we did the same this year. We have always been really pleased but this time one meal was very nice (roast beef) and the other not quite up to the same standard (chicken roast). The chicken was supposed to be breast but it had bones in it including a thigh bone and it was very chewy but okish. In addition the gravy was very thin indeed and not very tasty for both dishes and the vegetables were quite hard. Service was excellent though. If it was just the meal I was marking on then it would be an 'average' mark.

Our family visiting from Luton area always stay here and we always eat at the hotel at least once or twice during their stay. Always fabulous food and always helpful staff. Great food, great coffee.

Oh dear! Dirty tables, uninterested staff, poor quality food and overcharged . They said it was a service charge 10%, but it didn't add up, the service charge would have been more? Maybe there is an accumulated bonus in the till at the end of the day????? I asked for it back anyway!

The Royal Oak is one of our 'fall back' restaurants, where we can usually get a booking and can rely on good quality and good service. This visit was as usual very good. Good menu, but prices slightly higher than other restaurants in the area, but for reliable quality, and lovely ambience of the place, the little extra pricing is well worth it. Service was as usual great to,

Advertised as free parking but on arrival car park full due to private event being held, told it was a first come first serve basis for parking in their small hotel carpark. Told to park over the main road in public carpark, only free between 6pm-8am so ensure you move your car before 8am, we were in holiday and you would hope to have a lie in! Room was ok but up many stairs and overlooking a main road into town so very noisy with big racers at night and lorries thundering down early in morning. Breakfast was lovely and small evening menu was ok but not much choice for a vegetarian.(rissoto or fish)

A great welcome. Had beef sandwich with chips and husband had Pork , Apple and stuffing sandwich with roast potatoes and gravy. Food exceptional. Amazing quality. Wow. Totally wow. Great attention to dietary requirements. Perfection.

Great food and service. Both had the flat iron steak and it was excellent. Made to feel welcome and the clear screens to split tables are both smart and unobtrusive- a great idea.

Great place to get back eating out again. Lots of good measures put in place during these coved-19 times. We all felt very comfortable eating here. As for the food - very very good quality & high standard. Thoroughly recommend eating here.

We stayed Friday and Saturday nights b&b really nice welcome on arrival parked the bike in the secure parking area.Had a drink then booked in clean room good hot water supply good breakfast staff and management really helpful even refitted the bike cover when wind blew it off would recommend this hotel

Good value 1 night stay with dog. No lift in this old building so quite a hike up two flights of stairs! Comfy room and nice decor. No safe which I was surprised at. Didn’t eat in hotel but enjoyed some drinks, perhaps a little...

Really good quality pub grub and friendly service. My steak and ale pie was enormous and very tasty, great chunky chips. The children had good sized fish and chips which satisfied even a hungry ten year old. Our only regret was that we didn’t order any onion rings - they looked amazing!

Lovely 2night stay with best rate given via email, check in was effortless with hand sanitiser stations and one way system. Parking was easy with accurate map given, call the number and staff let you in to a private car park. Started with drinks and snacks outside, bar and server staff were excellent. The female staff ( sorry David you were excellent to!,) were exceptional, credit to all of you!!The food was served quickly by lovely staff, happy and engaging plus gave local recommendations that helped. Room was spotless, furniture was new and high spec, bathroom was fabulous. Full English breakfast was good, bacon and sausage were excellent.

This hotel has a number of issues which were of concern including difficult parking and poor housekeeping. Not a good place for those with mobility issues. That said, food was lovely with good portions.

Booked for two nights 26th and 27th December to meet up with son and grandkids. Expected it to be pricey due to Christmas, so pald £180 for two nights B&B plus £20 for the dog. £200 in total. What I except due to having a dog you never get the best room, what I find hard to except is the room not being cleaned due to not enough staff, the bathroom blind having mold on it (see attached photos) and window behind covered in black mold. And to complete the trip, although sorted quickly told my bill was nearly double what it should have been. On a plus food OK, but generally would say look elsewhere

Very nice food with a wide variety of options on menu. Well worth eating here if you are in the area.

Welshpool is ill served for places to eat on a Monday night! Thank heavens for The Royal Oak or visitors would starve! Enjoyed the menu, good food choices, well prepared and presented and a nice friendly atmosphere.

Excellent hotel situated in the centre of Welshpool. The rooms seem well maintained and well furnished. Breakfast buffet style but tea, coffee, eggs and toast are ordered and offers both full cooked breakfast or continental. The evening meals are also good value. The hotel staff very efficient and helpful. the only surprise was no local map of the town although plenty of leaflets on local attractions. The hotel has a car park but could be short of spaces at a busy time especially if the function room is in use ( weddings etc)

We sat in the 'snug' due to having a dog with us and had a very pleasant meal. Friendly staff and a warm comfortable time.

We popped in for lunch and had to wait over an hour for our meals and were disappointed in the food, especially as it was pricey for the area. Burgers were dry and the buns hard - presumably over defrosted in a microwave. I ordered a starter and a side dish and they came chucked together in a bowl without the dressing. Only the fish cakes got a real thumbs up. The waiter was lovely though.

Met up with friends for a drink and catch up. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Warm and friendly surrounding very comfortable sofas. Good choice of drinks and food. Every one very helpful.

As a group of six we didn’t think we’d get in for an evening meal without booking but after a very short wait we were seated in the beautiful restaurant. We were treated to excellent food, served very efficiently by friendly staff. So much so that we came back for another evening meal in our weeks holiday in the area!As we had one member of our group with an allergy we were very happy with the way that The Royal Oak dealt with it. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was glorious!

Stayed on business for 4 nights and cannot fault this hotel. The room was excellent with a modern bathroom with excellent facilities. The room was complete with bath robes, chocolate, biscuits and spring water, replenished every day. The breakfast was very good, served as a buffet with smoked bacon and excellent sausages, the scrambled eggs were perfect. The staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome at all times. Would recommend this hotel and definitely will return when next in the area.

We stayed here for a couple of nights and the staff were excellent. Dinner in the restaurant was good and not too expensive with attentive staff. The buffet breakfast was kept topped up with lots of fresh food (more than can be said for many hotels) and the freshly cooked eggs were good.

first time for a meal,very well cooked food.Staff very good nothing too much trouble and so polite taking in to account they were dealing with a party of oaps.

When staying in Welshpool this hotel is your best choice. With bedrooms tastefully furnished and everything, you need in the room. The restaurant menu has a great choice with reasonable prices and the bar area is very good too. The staff were all very friendly and super-efficient. Being a very old building it has lots of character and I would recommend this hotel when you stay in Welshpool.

When in syaying in Welshpool this hotel is a must. great tastefully furnished rooms. The restaurant serves very well prepared dishes at a reasonable price and the bar area is good too. It's a very old building with lots of character.

Very comfortable room which was tastefully decorated and very clean. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Reaturant is very good with a great choice of menu. Would recommend as centrally placed in town with safe car parking. Lots of attractions nearby including Steam Railway, Canal Boat Trips and Powis Castle.

This is such a lovely place, beautifully decorated and every single member of staff cares about you receiving first class service.

Personnel accueillant et sympathique.

Checking out tomorrow after 2 night stay and have to say have been hugely impressed with room, food and staff. All excellent. Not a lot of choice in Welshpool but so glad this hotel don’t take that for granted.

Had a really nice evening there. Staff really thoughtful and listened plus attentive but left you alone. Good food and a good range in a very well decorated, comfortable but smart restaurant. Great for a special evening

We’ve eaten here many times in the four years since moving to mid wales, we usually have a lovely meal out and have enjoyed the food and service but sadly today I have to say we were really disappointed I’d tried to book a table via their website but it kept telling us there was no availability for lunch so I tried to call, this took six attempts to get through but in the end managed to book. although the service was as good as it always is the food was really poor and boring, my partner had the Caesar salad which he described as ok but for £16 you’d expect something better than ok I’d ordered the super salad at £13 which frankly was far from super, it was a strange mix of uncooked broccoli, bits of orange, halloumi and couscous which was not cooked properly. I mentioned this to a different waitress who was now serving us and she said she’d let the chef know. We feel that the fact we were the only two people in the restaurant at the time that more of an effort could have been made with our food.

Visited a few times for a meal. The menu is very good and the food is well worth the price which is a little on expensive side. The service we have found always to be very good. Booking is advisable as it does get very busy.

This traditional coaching inn hotel, has a period style restaurant with a pleasant ambiance. The meals served were of an excellent quality on hot plates. The staff were all very friendly efficient. Parking is available from the rear of the hotel. We enjoyed our dinner experience.

we stayed the night with two dogs which we could have taken into the restaurant with us if we wanted food was great good portions,staff were very helpful and friendly well done team would def stay again

We had a lovely meal, great value, quality food, but thought the service just let it down from a 10/10 to maybe a 9 or an 8. If you do not care for service being great, and people serving you looking happy to be there then this is a must meal. I might be not picking but you can tell when service is genuine, or forced. I would go again because the good was great, and would like to think from a service perspective I was unlucky. Enjoy the area and this hotels great menu.

We parked in the town centre car park, not knowing where to eat in Welshpool. Liking the look of the Royal Oak on the cross roads,

Had a lunchtime sandwich here. Had the Halloumi & Mediterranean Veg ciabatta which came with skinny fries, leaves and coleslaw. Very tasty. Nice choice of seating areas, either in the bar or in the lounge with comfy seating or tables. Quite relaxed and cosy atmosphere.

We logeerden in een appartement in de buurt van Welshpool en hadden de tip gekregen om naar The Royal Oak te gaan. We kwamen in een sfeervolle eetzaal die met oude donkerbruine balken in compartimenten verdeeld was. Omdat het onze eerste maaltijd in het Verenigd Koninkrijk was, moest het fish & chips zijn. We bleken bij het juiste adres te zijn. We kregen beiden een bord voorgeschoteld met een werkelijk enorme knapperige cod met lekkere frieten en, natuurlijk, erwten erbij. We kregen de vis zelfs niet op. Perfect!

Nice friendly place to while away a Sunday afternoon with a drink or a coffee. Comfy sofas available if you want to really relax. They serve food although we didn't have time to sample anything the other customers really seemed to be enjoying their food!

Thursday lunchtime with the family, six different meals all served together by excellent and friendly staff, the food was delightful, hot and tasty, together with a delightful ambience gave all of us a lunchtime treat. Highly recommended.

Just had 2 fantastic nights in this hotel. I would most definitely recommend this hotel. It’s very quirky, which is what me and my fiancé loved about the place.

Average service and friendly staff food was very average this hotel should be a five stars it has not been 5 stars for a long time or we would go more often.

My family and I had 4 rooms over two nights. We were especially impressed by the bathrooms (which appeared to be newly renovated) and the service at the bar and during breakfast.

Staff were very polite. Food was lovely and hot. Exallent menu choice. The toilets were very clean and well stocked. There was plenty of seats and choices of rooms to sit in.
