The best restaurants in Llandrindod East/Llandrindod West Powys Mid Wales

Brilliant 👍🏻 love Greggs always great for a breakfast

Best sweet and sour chicken in batter l have ever tasted.

Stopped in Llandrindod Wells for one night and fancied a curry after having some not so good meals down on the south coast. The restaurant was pleasant, the waiters attentive and an extensive menu. Ordered poppadom’s with a chutney tray which I must say was beautiful with a very unique coconut chutney. Starter was a special platter for two which again hit the mark. Chicken Jafrani and chicken chilli masala for mains which were superb bar for one gripe, the chicken breast in the jafrani was very overcooked and dry. The sauces though were amazing. The bill came and I checked it and it came up-to £61…but on the bill it stated £67…, I questioned it and received a quite surly answer that it was £67 hence the 🤔. A takeaway customer questioned his bill and was adamant that they had overcharged him which they backed down to and reduced it.

Shocking. A surly individual behind the bar grunted at us on arrival. We asked about food and we were told about the limited menu because of a gas issue. This consisted of sandwich type food only, and not served until 5.00pm, despite the website saying it was open all day. Whilst I understand that there was a gas supply problem, in truth even if there hadn't been, it was not the sort of place I would actually eat in!!! The whole place looked tired, dirty and run down. The car park had rubbish all over the place. It's all clearly seen better days. We found a local fish and chip shop instead which was good.

Food was edible but average. Large breakfast was missing black pudding, mushrooms and hash brown. These could be purchased as an extra but for me should form part of the meal. I'd rather have one less egg and pay extra for a full breakfast. My toast was burnt but my wife's had barely touched the toaster. Eggs were and sausages were overcooked. I suspect the sausages had been sat in the bain marie for some time. Also, the beans were running into the tinned tomatoes - they need separating. No Could be really nice with just a little attention to detail. Price was a little high for the quality of the produce. Doubt I'll use again.

We were on a long drive and picked Llandrindod as our lunch stop. Chose Portland for its proximity to our one-hour parking space. Windows looked like they needed a wipe and the lobby a bit tired but we hadn't long. HOWEVER! The interior was beautifully clean and cosy, and many tables already taken even though it was early for lunchtime, so it's obviously popular. Decent WC, too. We had lovely sandwiches. Very reasonable prices, quick service although clearly fresh food not ready made, and the staff are friendly. Please note, cash only (or was that day).

On arrival, I was told I had a room in the wing, going through the entrance, the stench was overwhelming. I had to contact reception as it was very cold in there with the heating only coming on when the timer kicked in which was not for another couple of hours. The Internet also failed to connect. I had hoped for a swim in the pool as advertised on the website but this too was closed. Then there was the issue of the water pressure which made it practically impossible to have a shower, the water hardly trickled out. The wing in my view is just not fit for purpose, it is the worst hotel experience I have had for many years.

Ordered nuggets, chips & a pepperoni pizza, no complaints whatsoever lovely food
