The best restaurants in Llanwddyn Powys Mid Wales

Great wee shop and petrol station. We filled up with £20.00 OF diesel, the maximum allowed. It has outside seating. Great wee shop with the obvious needs covered. We made a donation to the food bank as well. A few welsh language magazines were for sale. Postcards and newspapers. Very friendly place and obviously a mainstay of the community.

This used to be a lovely experience but the service has really slipped. When we arrived there was nobody to seat us, just one lad who had to go off looking for the Basil Fawlty-esque manager who was nowhere to be seen. So while we waited we ordered drinks from the depressed, tattooed barman only discover the drinks were flat. When we did eventually get seated, you could sense the staff aren’t particularly happy (probably understaffed) and the Fawlty guy just seemed irritated by his iPad menu all the time. The food was good but it took an age to arrive, and each of our meals arrived at different times with long waits between which is always annoying. They apologised for the wait but I got the sense it’s standard practice. It seemed really poor considering there were only 3 of us and hardly anybody else in the restaurant. I can’t imagine what it’s like when it’s busy. Apart from the cosy fireplace seating, the rest of the restaurant seems bleak. There’s no music to fill the awkward atmosphere, the windowsills are dirty, it all just seems a bit dated now. Big shame, especially as it’s not exactly cheap. They’re lucky they have a lovely view to keep people distracted.
