The Sun Hotel in Powys

Friendly service, good food, children's options available.

A bit disappointing after having gone there for Sunday lunch. New chef,but new front of house to welcome us, but the whole atmosphere has changed and not for the better. Could this purely down to David leaving ....?

Clean and tidy throughout, very helpful, polite, friendly, and attentive staff. There's a good choice of great dishes on the menu, including vegetarian options, all in decent portions, with beautiful vegetables and delicious desserts to finish your meal with. There is some parking outside and an entire car park just over the road.

What a lovely little pub it is! We visited here while on our way home from a weekend of visiting family. It holds some ancestry for my boyfriend so was great for him to visit. Staff were absolutely faultless and attentive, nothing was ever too much for them. We had the Sunday roast and it was divine, portion sizes are very generous and the meat is lovely. Very well priced away, we were blown away by how well priced it was. I’m not sure who the manager is, but they should be so proud to have a great team who thrive in their roles. We will sure be back ❤️

will not go again. . Went for Sunday lunch. Was told it can be quite busy so we booked. Wife doesn't eat red meat and doesn't like mushrooms, so we had to ask if the chef could cook her some chicken, which they agreed to do, which was nice. No bread with the mushroom soup, so I had to ask for some. Scotch egg starter was plain and had no taste. Was overpowered by the apple ketchup. Chicken main course was amazing, cooked so well and beautiful veg. Beef looked nice, but was a bit tough and I gave up chewing it. Bit disappointing. Told the staff when they collected the plates, but no response and nothing taken off the bill either. Lovely pub inside, but found the atmosphere flat and no music! And some bulbs out !the staff hardly spoke and weren't very friendly. Don't think we will rush back here anytime soon.

Absolutely fabulous compliments to the chef the meals were beautiful and so well presented. The staff were superb could not do enough for us which made our special evening more special. Thanks everyone

Fantastic service and food every time we have visited. Great for couples or groups and a real gem.

We have just had a delicious Sunday lunch at the Sun, the food served exceptional. Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome and thank you to your new chefs for the delicious food, great to have the place back open again, serving such great food with attentive staff and excellent welcome.

Fantastic meal, lunch for 6 of us. All had different dishes but every one highly recommended. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great environment for drinks or a meal.

An absolute gem. The food was fantastic. Service was great. Well stocked with excellent beer.

Menu is a little weird and wonderful in places not great if you have a fussy eater with you Atmosphere is always brilliant and the staff are super helpful. Inside has been done up to a really high standard.

Bit quiet but it was early to be fair... nice enough place

Stopped while travelling through. So glad we did! Wonderful, friendly staff. The food was amazing. Could not fault a thing. Flavours and presentation! We ordered the Ox cheek and lamb rump as well as the date pudding and lemon for dessert. We will definitely go back to the area just to stop again. We had been out walking at waterfalls in the area all day so we were not really appreciately dressed or clean but they welcomed us in and served us like royalty. Just loved everything about this place. The atmosphere and decor included. Highly recommended.

We have just had a delicious lunch at the Sun, every course was exceptional. Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome and thank you to your new chefs for the delicious food . Lovely to be in your beautiful restaurant again. See you very soon. S &K

First time visit and was very impressed. Servjce was good and the food was excellent .

Ilove going to the excerise class

5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend this incredible place. Beautiful decor, excellent service, delicious well presented food, all staff go above and beyond . Private and relaxed dining. Superbly reasonable. We will be back over and over again!!!

Beautiful food can't fault it best food in the area, we usually go on the Sunday for the Sunday meals.

Great food and lovely staff. Both of us had the Pie of the day!

The Sun Hotel was recommended by our Airbnb host as a place they go themselves. It was excellent, good food, good service, reasonably priced. We would go back if we were in the area.

Absolutely incredible food Excellent service Impeccable customer service Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend 5 stars

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch and the staff are brilliant 👍🏼 Well done to Lindsay the landlady is very attentive. Well done

Amazing pie of the week! We loved our meal at The Sun Hotel. There wasn’t a need to book and they allowed our puppy with us, as long as we ate in the bar. Very fair prices (especially for drinks!) and welcoming, down to earth staff. Made our first meal out on our holiday very special and memorable. Highly recommend. Thanks a million!

Always have an amazing meal when I visit. Thank you

The food in the sun is absolutely gorgeous and the service exceptional. Always friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending to anyone.

Looked forward to our Sunday Lunch ( 29th Jan) This was out first visit but I know it will not be our last. The premises ouse lots of original character and is warm and inviting. The staff are extremelly professional in their approach to service, smartly dressed and well mannerd. The meal itself, sadly was disappointing. Why do Chefs always overcook beef instead of serving it pink. The beef was very overcooked and the roast potatoes as hard as canon balls. Just far to hard to cut into and so they were left. First course and Dessert were superb. The menu is extremely well thought out. That apart and all things taken into consideration, this is a very smart place to eat and we will certainly look forward to our next visit. Pink roast beef and softer roast potatoes please.

Fantastic all round! Service, food & atmosphere all what you would want from a county pub. Rib-eye steaks and puddings from the new menu were the highlight. Definitely coming back another time. Diolch

A freshly renovated village pub that serves much better than pub grub. Excellent service and simple presentation of very well cooked food

Called in on way home,Lovely vegetarian meal,was delicious. Will be dining there again!

Magnificent. Lovely people and the food was amazing. Reasonably priced too. Had to refuse dessert as we were too full.

Good pork roast amazing roast potatoes and crackling. Would definitely pay another visit

Lovely Saturday evening meal at the Sun complete with service that went above and beyond! Having really enjoyed delicious pollock and pork that we washed down with a bottle of Malbec, we found ourselves stuck trying to book a taxi back to our accommodation 10 minutes away. Straight away, the gents that had been serving us (David and Matt) kindly offered us a lift to save us a nasty walk back down a dark (and fast!) country road. Fabulous food topped by even more fantastic service - and a real sense of community despite being a couple hundred miles from home! Thank you for your generosity and care.

Telephoned Sunday 30 October to make a reservation, Answer phone, left a message asking to book lunch for 2 in December with contact details. Absolutely no response so made a reservation Friday instead for the Station Grill. If they can’t be bothered neither can I

Popped in for Sunday lunch just after midday, no table booked so we were offered a perfectly good table in the bar area. Ordered some drinks at the bar and took our seats. Typical Sunday lunch pub menu. We all opted for the roast beef. Staff were very attentive, polite and efficient. Food arrived and all was very good. A good sized portion of roast beef, accompanying veg (including a rather delish cauliflower cheese) and a gravy boat. Absolutely nothing to complain about. One of us had a dessert and a coffee afterwards, both went down very well. Not too expensive and paying a 10% tip seemed in order as the staff were really good. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

My husband & I went for my belated birthday meal on Wednesday night. ( it was my 4th visit & my husbands 1st). Simon is quite a plain Jane when it comes to food. I had king prawn & chorizo linguine & Simon had a burger. Both meals were delicious. We shared a sticky toffee pudding, as Simon wasn't sure he'd like it. Judging by the speed he at the majority of it I'd say he definitely did! 😆 Staff are friendly & attentive. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful little pub. Brilliant helpful staff with great food and beer to boot. The hotel room pods are amazing and private.

We had a delicious Sunday roast to celebrate a special birthday. The quality of food and service was really high.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. What more do u need?☺️

Good meal excellent wine reasonable price

Really sorry but what a disappointing evening. Arrived st just after 7pm and were shown immediately to our table. There were 4 other diners in the restaurant but it was at least 15 minut s before we could make a drinks order and another 15/20 before they arrived. Then another long wait for someone to take our order .... by 8pm I asked the owener/manager what was the problem as waiting such a long time with so few i the restaurant was not really acceptable. I was given some lame excuse about a problem but any other professional would have clocked this and have made some form of apology/ explanation earlier and would have offered a free drink on the house and free nibbles from the menu. Eventually our starter arrived at 8.05 and ou main by 8.25. By which time we had rather given up on what should have been a quiet relaxing birthday celebration. Unfortunately my lovely, all too easy husband paid the bill, no reduction for a not very satisfactory evening ...... sorry to say we shall think twice about returning despite the fact we try to support local business, and would not really recommend The Sun ...... I shall be phoning the joint owner/managed to make my views to her. Such a shame.

Delicious food 5 star rating, cooked to perfection, desserts were to die for. Staff were very friendly.. Definitely visit again

I've been here a few times now and can't fault anything, the service, food and atmosphere is amazing. I ordered the steak and it was one of the best meals I've had.

The rib eye steak was absolutely out of this world, very very impressed, the service in this place is also superb. Myself and my wife try lots of nice restaurants on our travels and this is definitely one of the best we've stumbled across. 10/10

The environment was very light and airy. The service was extremely prompt. The food was excellent overall a very good experience and we will certainly go back again.

Really lovely pub food was delicious and service was brilliant. Much more than pub grub. Staff were lovely and the restaurant manager was working to a fine dining standard. Definitely will be back.

We moved to the village back in September 2021 and found ourselves eating here quite often as it's super close. Being predominantly on a plant based diet Lindsay and the team are always happy to offer us some extra options (if we say when we book). The food is always excellent and the service matches. David (behind the bar) is always happy and friendly and a good first point of contact as you enter. The pub looks lovely and fresh on the inside and is nice to pop along for a quick pint or two.

Had a beautiful meal with family on Saturday evening. Service was excellent. Nothing too much trouble. I tried pigs cheeks for the first time. Fabulous 😁

What an amazing little gem. Everything about the Sun is lovely from the moment you walk in. Lovely decor. Lovely staff and wonderful food. I had a beetroot and walnut salad, Trout fillet on the most amazing courgette I have ever tasted and a rum, pineapple and coconut ice cream for desert. Every mouthful was a joy. I could have eaten every course 10 times over. Light and delicious. The staff were lovely friendly and there if you needed them. One of my pet hates in a restaurant is when 5 different people come and ask if everything is ok? Not here. Yes we were asked quietly and quickly by one lovely young lady. We were pleasantly surprised when the bill came too. Thank you everyone for a really special evening.

Really nice food, if a little heavy on the mashed potato’s which seem to come with all our dishes. Reasonably priced (£78 for three people. Two starters. Three mains and a bottle of red. ) Staff are lovely.

Lovely meal great service worth a visit 👍

Warm welcome, excellent service and delicious food in a lovely building. What's not to like?

Had sunday lunch at the sun today.we had a very warm welcome the meal was excellent well recommended

Very nice food and friendly staff

Great evening with great friends. Lovely venue, good attentive front of house staff. But food took a long time getting out, mostly good though. Coffee weak. Great Espresso Martinis though. Good value.

Absolute Empfehlung! Sehr freundlich und das Essen ist unglaublich gut! Leider keine Zimmer, was das Wort Hotel suggeriert. Wäre gern hier geblieben

Amazing lunch. Can't wait to come back! See you soon David!

Fantastic atmosphere, you are greeted with a smile, staff are all very friendly and professional. Food was amazing we had a Sunday roast and will definitely be returning.

Good service. Descent choice of real ale. Food was excellent.

Fabulous Sunday lunch at the sun today , from the moment we arrived very warm welcome, nice relaxing atmosphere, shown to our table, food was outstanding, very reasonable prices for the quality of service and food, our new favourite place to eat now! Very highly...

Sunday lunch with my family, great atmosphere, outstanding service, and food was amazing, prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Very highly recommend this place, top marks from us😍

Staff lovely and attentive. Food disappointing. Fish tasteless and mainly batter,some potatoes were black .very greasy dish. Veggie option was tasty but expensive for what you got and needed some green veg and cards to complete the plate. Nice atmosphere Next time ,maybe a drink...

Beautifully renovated, courteous and helpful staff and phenomenal food. Kudos.

Lovely food and lovely stuff xx

This was our first visit and we loved the food, ambience and service. If you have a special occasion the Sun is well worth considering.

Decoration and atmosphere is lovely. Staff were very friendly and attentive, with brilliant service throughout. Food was delicious and well priced for the quality. Will definitely visit again!

OUTSTANDING service from David. The service he provided was second to none. Unbelievable attention to our needs - diverse dietary requirements and a large group. Food was absolutely delicious. 10/10

Absolutely brilliant had a late lunch unplanned just turned up and Dave the barman and waiter could not have been more welcoming or friendly . The food was fantastic and so where the cocktails . My sister and brother in law thought it was the absolute best and they will definitely be back as will we. Thanks for a great afternoon xxx

Absolutely disgusting service we told them we wanted to order our food with our drinks as we knew what we wanted we were told he will be right back for our food order just kept on walking past us not even letting us know he...

Lovely staff, pity we couldn't eat this time round. Advisable to book in advance. Nice and clean. Welcoming and friendly.

Yet again a wonderful meal in relaxed setting with lovely staff. The menu suits all palettes, I particularly love the fish which is always different and not the standard salmon/sea bass offering. Thanks so much all for making our 15th wedding anniversary so special. Will definitely be visiting again (soon) x

Delicious meal! Best onion soup ever as a starter, pork cheeks were to die for, creme brulée too. The 2 young waiters were very lovely and professional and made sure everything was alright. Fantastic evening. Thank you

Highly recommend. The food was fantastic. Each course tasted and looked amazing. The service was excellent. If you havent been, you must try

Fabulous food spotless decor excellent really really nice place

Absolutely lovely food! Fantastic. We went in for lunch and had a light bite. The fish finger sandwich was lovely! On of us was gluten free. The only thing she could have really was soup. So one improvement could be for the sandwiches or light bites if they could have gluten free bread alternatives as this would then give more choice. Lots of gluten free options for main meals though but we only wanted the light bites at lunch time really. Thank you.

Delicious food, great service, visiting from Oxfordshire, would recommend 👌🏻

Great food, lovely place for a quiet meal.

Lucky find! On our way to Snowdonia and needed to stop for dinner. Popped in here and couldn’t be happier. Great service, wonderful food and excellent value for money. Wish it was was local.

My wife took me to dinner for my birthday. Excellent food, great service and a very good atmosphere. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, a delightful place to dine. We can't wait to go back.

Yet another lovely meal at the Sun Hotel. Lovely atmosphere. Great service, great choice and great tasting food. Will be back again.

Really friendly staff and good food

Great food, lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff

Fabulous meal. Warm cosy modern decor with nice ambience. Reasonably priced given quality . Good service . Lovely way to spend an unexpected Christmas eve out.

Another gorgeous meal and warm welcome at The Sun Hotel. Cod Supreme, should be renamed Cod Superb! A wonderfully talented Chef who has subtle French influences in his food. Great atmosphere and enjoyable experience every time we visit.

Couldn't fault the Sun Inn. Food was amazing (especially the salmon!), really clean, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff - thank you.

The food was ok, it wasn't a very large menu and the main item we wanted, pie of the day, wasn't available so we all struggled to find something else, the decor is very nice and it was busy, but the service was quite slow. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Absolutely wonderful meal, beautifully prepared and excellent service - we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience

Really warm welcome nice atmosphere and good beer

Absolutely amazing. Gorgeous food, beautifully served. Excellent service and great value. Could not have asked for more. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely fresh food, great Sunday roast

Wonderful staff and amazing food. Customers are travelling from miles around to visit the Sun Hotel, and I can now see why. We'll definitely be back.

Very nice meal, efficient staff very friendly, can recommend it.

Had Sunday dinner today cold plates small helping of pork no apple sauce uncooked veg what has happened two weeks ago fine?

Absolutely fabulous. We booked for dinner Wednesday evening and were so impressed, we booked again for Thursday ! Shame we leave on Friday. Great food - interesting, a little inventive, but not pretentious. Something on the menu for everyone and we had 8 meals in...
