The Triangle Inn in Powys

We visited this place on recommendation from my sister who lives in Rhayader.We have come from Dorset.I can honestly say the best food by far.We had the rump steak,rib eye,lasagne,whitebait,Welsh lamb burger. We had come back for a second night as food was so good.On return we wouldn’t hesitate to come back.Service excellent and a lovely ambiance. Hope to see you soon guys thanks 🙏

Outstanding meal at an affordable price. A comprehensive menu and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Ahidden gem,Very busy for midweek out of season. Fair choice on menu,well priced.When delivered a large platefull well cooked,made up for the long wait(nearly 1hr)

following recommenndation from a cafe in town by the clock tower and a previous visit many years ago we booked (luckily as busy) for evening meal - the food arrived in good time and both meals were excellent

Just had a great meal, staff lovely and friendly, even though just here for a few days would definitely come back when in the area again

We ate here this evening and were very impressed with the food. Great value for money in a very cosy pub oozing with character and charm.

Preboooked a table here for Saturday 23rd September 2023 as we knew it would be busy, was recommended by an ex work colleague so we thought we would give it a try. My partner had the venison burger and I had the 12 oz rump steak both meals were spot on and good value for money - the burger and steak were very tasty. We will definitely come here again as we found the pub very friendly with a good atmosphere love these old country pubs. Thanks Mark.

The Triangle is a short walk from the centre of Rhayader, approximately a pleasant 10mins walk. A very busy pub so advisable to book. Service was very good as was the steak and I will return in 2024

Very disappointed, it was recommended by several people, and we looked forward to going, on arrival we were seated in the bar only to be confronted by someone eating their dinner with a big dog on their lap, we ordered drinks and our food, on arrival the steaks, which we were advised were supplied by the farmer who owned the pub and were good, were in fact not, very thin and overcooked, we decided nor to complain but did not finish our meals, the chips were also overcooked, however we asked by one of the staff about our experience and advised her of our dissatisfaction, she apologised and removed on of the steaks from the bill. I do like original and historical places but this place is in a very poor state of repair, the toilets which are across the road are best described as agricultural, very poor, would not like to have to go ther on a wet winters evening, sorry, we will not return

Fabulous little pub with great home cooked food . Friendly welcoming service. Dogs allowed. Seating inside and out. Best pub in the town and very reasonable prices too. Good beer good wine. What can I say!? We went 3 nights in a row during our 3 night stay

Essentially good but standard pub grub - not much more is available in Rhyader. Gets crowded, probably because of the good reviews, so even in September during the week it's necessary to book, preferably several days in advance. The evening we were there, they were full. A starter was produced quite quickly but then we had to wait over an hour for the main course which wasn't anything special. They really could have done with more staff bother serving and in the kitchen. There are other options in Rhyader which are almost as good although Rhyader doesn't offer much variety for evening meals anyway.

Lamb cooked to perfection. So tender. Menu is great, showing the link the food has to the local area. Loads on the specials board. Traditional pub. I would say booking is essential and they were super busy for a week night

A stunning little charming pub with amazing food customer service and atmosphere we found it by chance on a little impromptu dog walk /explore so we decided we would come and try it out for our 1st anniversary meal and it was wonderful staff are so friendly and the is food amazing (highly recommend the whale and chips - I'm not kidding when I say the fish is the size of a whale) we enjoyed it so much and made a wonderful memory for our 1st wedding anniversary so much we will be back whenever we find five minutes to pop a few miles down the road for a meal out Thanks for the great food and hospitality

Lovely pub with lovely staff. Fabulous food too. I had the Rabbit stew, it was amazing! The mash with it was spectacular. A great experience.

In the area on holiday and really struggled to find somewhere nice to eat. Drove past the pub on our way cycling and reading the reviews it sounded lovely. Couldn’t get through on the phone to book, but managed to get a cosy table outside. Great selection of homemade pub food and specials, and a great meni for the kids. Food came quickly, we were checked upon that all was OK, and everyone loved their meals! A great find- wish they did lunch or were able to book online. One thing that we didn’t really like (and just is being maybe a bit picky!) the tag line at the end of the kids menu to ask grown ups for pudding… not a great marketing ploy. Will be returning on our next holiday to the area.

This is an unpretentious pretty little 16th century pub. Hanging baskets and a small outside seating area. We ate here two nights running while staying in Rhayader. Portions are generous, prices reasonable and the food good. What stood out for us though was the efficiency...

Excellent staff ,excellent service, excellent food ,very good beer selection, could not fault , happy days , spot -on 👍👍😀

Lovely meal last night. Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Why didn't we eat here? We booked a table fo0r early evening. Arrived in time. Placed order within 15 minutes of booked time. Then we waited....and waited....and waited. After 2 hours, having seen booked tables inside and unbooked tables outside having been served 2 courses...

If you want a family meal out, this is not the place to do, unless of course you have eaten a three course meal before hand, we went here and waited 2 hours for our food and still after this didn’t get our food, poor...

Absolutely ridiculous. 2 hours waiting for food. Asked several times when we might expect to be fed, every time told we were next and then meals served elsewhere. When challenged on this the chef came out to shout that he was cooking as fast as...

Excellent food, great beer, great service. Staff were very busy, but cheerful and attentive. Very small pub but a very warm welcome.

This local Inn maintains and deserves its number 1 status in Rhayader for its warm welcome wonderful food cosy atmosphere and attempts to accommodate your every need (where possible) Very sad to see a poor review from a local who surely should have known better...

We received such a warm welcome tonight from Heidi when we arrived at this wonderful pub. The atmosphere is great - a friendly buzz with the most incredible smell of delicious, hearty food. My husband and I had never been to The Triangle Inn before...

Love this pub as being locals.However visited Wednesday night..booking for 6.30.. Placed on cramped table in-between two tables to sit 4... Back chairs wedged between wall then pews of other seats in next tables.. we are two slight ladies and found this difficult to eat...

Great atmosphere for a great dinner. Friendly staff. Vegan options on menu and on specials board. Great river view.

Marvellous friendly hostelry in delightful Rhayader. We had delicious lamb shanks washed down with lovely real ale.

Warm welcome from friendly, attentive staff, serving delicious locally sourced food at fair prices. It really show that the people care about their business and their customers. Book in advance

It may be a case of booking before you arrive as this pub gets very busy. The pub is located a very short walk out of town across the river bridge heading out towards the Elan valley. It’s a smallish pub but there are bench...

Extremely busy old school pub just how we like it , I recommend booking in advance , vary friendly staff vary helpful & the food is awsum. Top pub thanks for a great evening.

Absolutely fantastic in every respect Saturday 08July 2023 we celebrated the Birthday’s of my wife & my granddaughter The incredible team at the Triangle Inn made the celebrations truly memorable, entirely wonderful The food was the best I have tasted in a long long time....

A little gem of a restaurant, lovely and quaint, food really excellent and good menu with specials. Our friends took us and we thoroughly enjoyed staff really welcoming and friendly can definitely recommend but do phone to book as it is very popular and dogs...

After four days of mountain walking, we chose this venue for the group’s farewell dinner with eight of us in total. Our table wasn’t quite ready for our 7.30 reservation but we ordered drinks at the outside picnic tables. I ordered the Lamb Shank which...

What a friendly, relatively cheap, high quality pub. The food was really very good and the staff were chatty and dealt with a table of 11 with no problem at all. Would definitely visit again.

Fantastic local food and great friendly service A must book place as always busy , ate here 5 out of 7 nights as unable to get a table due to us not booking in advance

What a little hidden treasure! You can feel the history of the place (16th century building), really cosy with phantastic freshly prepared homemade food from local produce. The best veggie lasagne I’ve ever tried, followed closely by equally tasty veggie chilli - so many fresh...

Great, friendly service. Food was devine, very reasonably priced. Would definitely return next time I'm in this part of the country

Small and characterful pub that serves excellent beer and excellent food. The staff were first rate and served up a feast of good food for our party of 12. No complaints and a dozen satisfied dinners. I can recommend anything off the menu. Keep up...

Fantastic little pub, very popular so booking is a must on the weekend. Food was great and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Will return!

This lovely village pub serves great food. It’s not huge so do book ahead! Atmosphere was good and service was great. I had ribs and my husband had rabbit stew - both were delicious. We also managed puddings which were also lovely. The pub was...

Good choice of food and beers available. Plenty of vegertarian options. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

A local b&b suggested the triangle for food and I'm so glad they did! The staff were really friendly and looked after us so well. The food is mainly local too, which always gives me confidence! The lamb was divine! We'll be back!

Wonderful treat after a big day out in the hills. Will be back for certain. Great ale lovely local food . Very welcoming.

Found this lovely little pub via recommendation online. Lovely friendly atmosphere and good wholesome food. Service was excellent and prices very reasonable. We went three out of four nights as we were so impressed with the place. Dog friendly too. Will definitely visit again in...

Lovely friendly pub, good food, and lovely staff. 6 of us had a few pints and food and all of us were very happy with our choices.

Lots of gluten free food options available. Log fire burning was a great touch for us and the dog to warm up after a long hike. Really friendly staff, we will certainly be back

A hidden gem - booked for Saturday night as staying in local area. There was a good choice from the menu as well as specials but pleased with our choices which were delicious especially the duck and generous portions. Staff friendly and attentive. I would...

Six of us visited this old pub, the butcher in the village said it was a good pub for food, how right he was…… we all had a great meal, can definitely recommend the Steak and the Lamb special went down well also.

I read the reviews on TripAdvisor when trying to find somewhere the 4 of us would be happy with and one stood out with the words "hidden gem" I always laugh because what you class as a hidden gem is not necessarily what others would,...

Wonderful quaint traditional pub serving home reared beef and lamb which were both delicious You need to book as they get very busy owing to being so small All staff were welcoming and friendly. Very reasonably priced and will definitely return The toilets are outside...

Myself and my partner were staying near by for the weekend. On the Saturday we wanted to go somewhere for food and seen the Triangle Inn was number 1 in Rhayader and having visited I can see why. Service, food and overall experience is 5...

we ordered the Lamb Cutlets , lamb shank and Several children dishes. The lamb was excellent , but the portions were huge, so you might to share a dish. The service was friendly and the efficient. However the tables were sticky, so much so that...

What a gem in what is otherwise a bit of a fine dining vacuum. Very welcoming staff, we all had steak. All of us were very pleased with the quality of the ingredients and the cookery.

Delicious food from the field to the fork. Good honest local food. Highly recommend! Excellent Service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We booked at the Triangle Inn as it had got good reviews for its food. They were not big on starters but when we saw the size of the mains, it was obvious why. I had rack of ribs and my partner had steak. Both...

Went on recommendation and then noticed it was number 1 in Rhayader. It was excellent, the best steaks We’ve had in a very long time. All the food was cooked and presented well. Quirky 16th century setting.

We came across this delightful pub on our way back from the Elan Valley. We hadn't made a reservation but managed to get the last inside table ( reservation is highly recommended). The staff were so friendly and accommodating and the food was wonderful. Portion...

We arrived on a busy Saturday evening (having walked more than 8 miles to get there) without a reservation. Nevertheless, they were kind enough to find us a table and served an excellent meal and a nice couple of pints. Very friendly and accommodating.

Excellent food, service and the pub has so much character. We went twice in the few days we stayed in the area as it was so nice, we will be returning for sure. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of the food and staff. This...

Came to this pub on recommendation from the campsite and caravan club we were staying at. The food was fantastic and they served locallly produced beers, ales and gin and all the staff who worked there were really friendly and full of banter. The pub...

Lovely quirky little pub, really nice food we both had the ribeye steak would definitely recommend! Worth booking as only small place and was full even on a week day evening

Beautiful pub and great food the meat comes from a local farm and you can tell we liked it so much we visited twice they were very friendly even though very busy managed to fit us in.

There is not a great choice for eating in the evening in Rhayader but our host pointed us in the direction of The Triangle. Lovely welcome in this old quirky pub with decent beer and decent pub grub. It’s not huge so booking is advised...

Had a lovely meal at The Triangle Inn Warm welcome from staff, food lovely, sadly too full to have pudding, but they looked great.

It’s been a few years since we visited this great little pub. We were staying just outside Rhayader and wanted to treat ourselves to a good meal and a few drinks. The food was exactly what we wanted and cooked to perfection. I can recommend...

Varied menu, they can actually cook a blue steak. Excellent beer and good service. Love this place, will be back next year.

We just had a delicious dinner topped off by friendly and fast service. My partner had the duck that was done to perfection and I had a juicy burger. We shared a pavlova dessert that was the perfect finish. We’re visitors to the area and...

We visited the pub in the middle of Carnival day. The pub was extremely busy inside and out. But we managed to get a table for 4 being 2 couples, we ordered our drinks and had a look at the menu. We ordered 3 fish...

This pub is slightly outside the centre of Rhayader but well worth a visit. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food good with healthy portions, and the beer well-kept. Probably the best pub we visited during our stay in the area. One unusual characteristic...

We have eaten here several times over the past years, when visiting the area. It took several attempts to get through on the phone to make a booking but we eventually got through. On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff , we ordered our...

I noticed little pub on my return from the Elan Valley and decided that this was going to be the place for dinner. This was my last night of a 2 week visit to Rhayader and I’m so disappointed to have only just discovered the...

Staying at Elan Oak Caravan site and went into Ryayader to The Triangle Inn for a meal. Loved how quant and quirky it was from the moment we saw it. The service was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. My husband had the...

A charming venue but wIth a 4.5 star rating we had expected a little more. Service was friendly but very slow, the menu was temporary but not everything was available, and the food when eventually received was rather mediocre. Perhaps we had arrived on an...

As requested phoned before hand to let them know I was bringing a dog, as they dog and non dog areas. Very friendly staff and food was to a very high standard. Unfortunately no lamb shank, but the ribs and trimmings were a very tasty...

We were recommended to come here by the owner of the Penralley BnB and were not disappointed! Lovely welcome and the food was incredible! I'd recommend!

Visited here a few weeks ago with some colleagues / friends. Always a great atmosphere and being local, bound to see someone you know. Whether you’re from away or nearby, the staff are always friendly and polite. They still had the temporary Covid menu but...

Wonderful food, lovely staff. Highly recommend. Steak with pepper sauce and ribs so tasty and well cooked.

Welcoming staff, and cosy comfortable atmosphere but food disappointing. The local lamb specials were awful cuts and poorly cooked, with no flavour, and expensive. Accompanying chips and peas were mediocre.

I have to confess this is our local but I wouldn’t write a review unless it was worthy of a comment. Alison the landlady and Garth the chef, along with the supporting team are simply wonderful. Relaxed atmosphere, warm welcome, fantastic food and accompanied with...

Nice service and reliable booking arrangements in this quaint little old pub. Comfortable and cosy surroundings and nice but basic bar meals. Particularly recommend the lasagne and the chicken curry. Drinks reasonable and service very good. We have been several times and its our go-to...

Fab little place. Very authentic. Lovely log bur we stove welcomed us on arrival after freezing In the hail a d snow. Dog friendly. Which is great as that area is so beautiful for walks. Food was fantastic. Even though it was a slightly reduced...

Friendly atmosphere with a nice log fire, excellent food and very reasonably priced drinks. The staff were very welcoming and attentive.

Not the easiest pub to find on a cold foggy evening but Google helped!! We had been advised to book as The Triangle is not very big. This was not a problem on said cold foggy night!! Great steaks and good beer. Locals visiting the...

We were recommended to get an evening meal here , and we weren’t disappointed. Even though the menu was reduced due to Covid and supply issues and it was table service only ( Welsh Covid restrictions) we had a lovely home cooked good quality meal...

Really lovely place. We really liked the atmosphere as it was relaxed, cosy and friendly. The staff were great and the food was absolutely delicious! We would go back there for sure

Staying in Rhayader in a little Sheppards hut and this was one of the local recommendations and I’m so glad we chose to come here. Lovely friendly staff, great meal even the amount of food as you can see from the picture is more than...

The Triangle was a really great find. A real country pub atmosphere with no pretentious but everything about the place was great and we loved to whole thing, so much so we returned while staying in the area for a weak. It was really helpful...

We have eaten at the Triangle several times over the years and it is good honest food nicely presented. A small unassuming pub with friendly staff and we have always had good food there. But, being small, you must book ahead of time, several days...

Still our favourite pub in Rhayader and so.ewhere we always go back to. Lovely atmos and friendly staff and hearty pub food.

Great little country pub, with an emphasis on the 'little': so, as others have said, book if you want to eat. Worth it, though - we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinners, and there are some good ales on tap too. Plenty of parking: walk down...

First things first. BOOK. It is a delightful pub serving good food so it is popular and we fortunately had booked as during out meal we saw a number of couples turned away. We all enjoyed steak meals and the portions were good and the...

Visited twice on our weeks stay in Rhayader. Dog friendly and great food. Had to wait for an hour for our meal on the second visit but when it finally came it was delicious. Large portions and lovely staff

Had the duck. Well cooked and large portions. Friendly staff. The pub is quite small so would recommend booking in advance. Will return again when visiting the area.

Last minute booking whilst camping nearby. The Triangle is a small but quaint 16th century pub. Very welcoming staff, good food and drink, reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I took our two girls here and it was a perfect end to a lovely day. The food was great, including what my 6 year old described as 'the best chicken nuggets ever!', the beer was lovely, the pub lovely and cosy...

We were recommended The Triangle by our B & B host and having heard such good reviews were looking forward to the meal. The pub is quaint and located off the beaten track in Rhayader. We loved the atmosphere and the lady on front of...

Came here for dinner after a superb experience at the Red Kite Feeding Centre. We’d previously booked a table and were duly sat down by the waiting staff. The bench seat reminded me of a church pew, it was uncomfortable and much higher than the...

We had a wonderful meal here as a family last week. Beautiful pub, incredibly friendly team, yummy food and child friendly. Loved it and highly recommend.

Visited on the last day of the Welsh lockdown. A small venue but very safe, friendly and welcoming. Had the 14oz ribeye, it was the best steak I have had in a very long while, tender, tasty and cooked to perfection. This and some good...

Read the trip advisor reviews and thought we should take a look - really pleased we did ! After a long hard day mountain biking we were really pleased to get a warm welcome, cold drinks and good food . Even with the covid restrictions...
