The Village Pantry in Powys

Staying locally and came by today for some lunch with my 2 boys after finding info about the cafe in the information pack. food was very tasty; best bacon, brie and cranberry panini I have had. staff were very friendly and the atmosphere in the cafe was great. cat wait to come back on our next visit.

Brilliant quality breakfast. Quick service and friendly staff. Highly recommended if your passing. Rang up and ordered and within 10 minutes was ready to collect. 10/10

As always, a delicious offering! I was working all day yesterday so they kindly plated me up a serving of their beef stew. Just what I needed after a long days work! And it was only about £6, so a bargain!

We have stopped here a couple of times for breakfast. It is a smashing little cafe , popular with locals and passing trade. It is dog friendly with an offer of a sausage for our dog. The staff were all very welcoming and the breakfast was quick and freshly cooked. All the ingredients were tasty with the sausages top class from a local butcher

Fantastic food. Friendly service!! All homemade. And beautifully tasty. It is always a pleasure to eat here. I was going to have one of their homemade chunky cookies afterwards, but I’m at the point where you’re going to have to roll me out of the building! Tasty beef chilli, with chips and rice, cheesy garlic bread, cheese for the chilli, and sour cream. £10. Can’t ask for better than that.

What a lovely little cafe. Super friendly and quick given it was cooked fresh to order. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area. A great homemade breakfast away from home.

Excellent friendly cafe, stopped off on our way home. Lovely food was enjoyed here would recommend for sure. We had 2 breakfasts and 2 jkt spuds and all loved there food

Lovely, traditional little cafe serving excellent food. The staff are very friendly & doggies are welcome. Our hotel was serving a limited breakfast as their kitchen was closed for refurbishment. We popped over the road & had a yummy breakfast Butty & steaming mug of tea, brilliant! It gets pretty busy (probably as it’s so yummy!) but there didn’t seem to ever be much of a wait. Would highly recommend 👍

Went for a breakfast. Friendly welcome by attentive staff. Good choices on the menu, all very well priced. The breakfasts were delicious especially the sausage. Free WiFi. Well worth dropping in again.

Cold and wet from walking this place was very welcome. Hot food to please everyone, even fussy child! Big portions, good lattes, small prices, friendly staff. :-)

I stopped at the Pantry for the first time after I was riding my motor bike in the area, and was extremely pleased with the meal , namely Hunters Chicken in a pannini with chips and salad. What a tasty meal indeed for a very moderate cost. The staff were very friendly and polite and obviously enjoyed their job. Thank you very much

Great food great friendly staff , very clean and yummy food . Love the breakfast . Tables outside are a big plus .

We were traveling North from Newtown to Cheshire and stopped at The Village Pantry from some brunch. We ordered full breakfasts and tea from the really pleasant friendly staff - a short wait - everything was being made fresh for us so we didn't mind at all. The place is spotless and the wifi code available meant we could have a quick check on work emails which was handy. We really enjoyed our breakfast, very tasty, filling and good value. On the way home I realised my bangle had fallen off - when I called The Village Pantry they had found it and were so glad I'd called and offered to post it to me, They could not have been more helpful or kind. I will definitely make a point of stopping again when passing.

It was the first time here yet I live locally. My friend and I went about 10.30 in the morning and there was 1 table left. Some of the customers stay at the pub opposite and eat here. The staff were friendly and the cafe is spotless. The food is fresh, piping hot and cooked how you like.(I prefare my bacon crispy and sausages welldone)..

Breakfast here is superb, and the girls behind the counter are friendly and very accommodating. Best sausage out

Called during a long walk, excellent tea and cakes at a great price. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Other people’s breakfasts also looked good!

Brilliant little village cafe, perfect for a quick bite after doing the Heritage Area. We got lucky as it closes at 2pm. Lovely fresh ham salad and chips with great coffee x 2 for less than £12. Really friendly and helpful staff gave us some tips on places to visit. Definitely recommend it.

This cafe feels like our home away from home. We have been coming here every June, for 3 years, while on holiday in Wales. The food is excellent and nothing is too much trouble for the ladies who own and work in the cafe. Good food, great staff = perfect start to any day.

We thought we would try this little café based on the reviews we had read, and we are glad we did. The staff were very pleasant, the choice on the menu is good and we really enjoyed our food. It is only open until 2 p.m. but so it seems are the pubs in the village also (then some places open again in the evening). Would recommend if you want café style food. It's a nice little village with interesting places to visit, and lots of walks to take, especially if you are interested in geology or rock climbing.

Really nice little café serving a good tasty breakfast with really friendly staff. but unfortunately the smoke in the air made our eyes sting, the extractor isn't sufficient to remove the cooking fumes from the air.

When we arrived at this cafe it was empty but within 15 minutes it was full of locals, a very good sign. My daughter and myself had the full English breakfast. The quality of the ingredients was very good and my daughter was offered an alternative to the mushrooms that she doesn’t like. A very pleasant end to our break at Llanymynech!

We have recently moved to the area and have been to the cafe for breakfast twice now. The full English breakfast is great. Good quality bacon and sausage which is a must for me. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It seems a busy little cafe and I can understand why. Would highly recommend! We will be returning!

We called in as a family for a spot of brunch..what a super little cafe. Really good varied menu and friendly service. The staff could not do enough to accommodate us. Would definately return and recommend. 😁

Very hungry no time to spare .Great food .Great staff .Friendly service which is a job to find these days .Will now be back very soon .Thankyou Ladies

The food is always good and well presented, and cheap too! Every time I go in I always enjoy what I have. The girls are friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Something for everybody on the menu, and the portions are a very good size too. Highly recommended!

Nice Cafè ,very well priced ,friendly staff although we had almost finished out Tea before the cakes arrived.

This is my third visit this week and already they seem to know me. Good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Will always call in here when I am in the area. Parking is across the road in a public car park and is only a matter of a few walking paces away. A good flow of customers whom I assume are local. Very friendly welcome to all who come through the door.

Just called for breakfast as working near by best I’ve had for while good quality and quick will be back !

Great place for an informal family lunch,friendly and a very organised cafe,breakfast's are also very good.Definatly worth a visit.

Service in this establishment is always brilliant, despite them having to juggle customers in the actual cafe,and keep up with their very busy takeaway service,Very well organised,and the food is excellent,would recommend highly !!

More than just a cafe, me and my partner love visiting this place. The breakfasts are affordable but made with top quality meats, the sasuages are out of this world and thick cut bacon! Service fantastic, warm friendly atmosphere. We love taking home a treat for later in the day too - all homemade, my favourite are the cheesecakes! Their menu is extensive too with homemade pies, sandwiches and something for everyone. Have visited over 10 times in the past year and never disappointed!

Previously reviwed this place highly but have been back twice and both times had yo wait ages for our order,kitchen seems very un organised for some reason,both times weren't even busy,3 other tables occupied....foid was ok but nit as good as previously,disappointed,won't be back in afraid,while point if a cafe is that's it's fairly quick....shame

We found ourselves in Llanymynech mid walk at lunchtime so wandered to the crossroads in search of a bite to eat. We found the village pantry and were delighted with our meal. A pantry mega burger and a pantry mega chicken burger were washed down with copious amounts of tea and all for £12! Amazing quality and value for money. Great service from the lovely ladies too. Highly recommended!

Visited here today before playing golf at Llanymynech Golf Club. Had a full cooked breakfast, the food was gorgeous and the service great. Would definitely recommend it.

Called in on a friends recommendation,passed many times,ordered full breakfast and coffees,service was friendly and efficient,you sensed you could have asked for anything and it would be no trouble,breakfast was very very good,freshly cooked and quality ingredients,will become a regular haunt.fantastic,thankyou 😀

Wonderful little café that welcomes dogs too. Breakfast amazing and cooked fresh to your liking. They sell homemade ice lollies but sadly I didn't try one on this occasion. Will be going back though.

I was walking the Offa's Dyke path and after spending a cold wet night, I arrived in the village of Llanymynech, cold, wet, hungry and out of sorts. The proprietress welcomed my muddy self warmly. I ordered a large pot of tea and full English breakfast. Wonderfully delicious and the hospitality was icing on the cake. I left with a new disposition and ready to tackle the next 10 miles! Highly Recommended!!

Excellant vegetarian breakfast followed by tea and toast. In fact, so good, we even ordered a packed lunch for the walk ahead. This to was excellant and real value for money. Cafe has wi-fi, service was excellant and absolutely nothing to fault. Well worth a visit and its on the Offa's Dyke path, as well.

Fuimos a la nueva cafetería ayer. Está en una posición encantadora, estaba impresionado con el ambiente y el servicio. Tenía un huevo frito y bacon muy bueno, nos hubiera gustado tomate pero sólo en lata. El wi fi fue una ventaja, volveré antes de mi...

Cuando pruebe la cafetería local para el desayuno y no se decepcionará. Todo estaba bien preparado y sabroso sin grasa para ser visto. Bien hecho chicas

The new management are friendly, accommodating & are making a real success of this cafe. Excellent breakfast & a good range of snacks & cakes.

Despensa village está abierto de nuevo gente nueva tomada. Había un desayuno completo y era excelente y buen precio de £5 abierto de 730 hasta las 4.30 en la semana 9 y hasta 2 en sábado puede sin duda recomiendo volveremos

Called in here for the first time during a winter walk. Good mug of coffee and 2 mince pies for £3, good value. The cafe is clean and staff welcoming what more do you need while out for a walk. Will use again.

Called in on Saturday with whole family. Lovely home made food, welcoming helpful staff, very reasonable prices. We would go out of our way to come here again. Thanks.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Well worth a visit, will definitely be returning. The cakes are lovely with a good selection. Breakfasts cooked to perfection, nothing is too much trouble for the staff

We were walking Offa's Dyke and such a treat to come upon this little cafe for a very welcome cup of coffee(£2 & then free refills) with a very generous and reasonably priced filled baguette.The homemade cakes looked fabulous .Well worth calling in at for a rest and recharge .

Quick service, lovely meals & cakes & friendly staff who are eager to please & to adapt meals to suit the customers requirements.

Sorry guys but you really need to use your imagination a bit more. The tuna sale myself and hubby ordered was terrible. Iceberg lettuce plonked in the middle of what looked like a dessert bow. The a large dollop of tuna mayonnaise on top, and then large slivers of cucumber and tomato arranged round the side to look like a flower (it didnt work) and then a sliced boiled egg as well. No carrots, peppers, onions, things you would expect in a salad. And it was supposed to be crusty bread? soggy baguette again sliced. Think the "chef" might have used the same slicer for the cucumber. Then I asked for two sausage sandwiches to go. Got home and they were on brown bread which I hate! Sorry folks but if you want more custom you are going to have to up your game and not just rely on the "full breakfast" brigade. You've lost my custom. Won't be recommending you anytime soon.

This is a friendly place serving great food. On our visit Simon was preparing his world-famous cooked breakfasts and Christopher was "front of house". If you have not yet sought out The Village Pantry, I urge you to do so. You will not be disappointed.
