The best restaurants in Montgomery Powys Mid Wales

We stopped off here on our way home for breakfast. Everything was fresh and good quality. I had a full English and my partner had eggs Benedict. We enjoyed our meals and the service was good. My only reason for not giving five stars is that I felt some of my items were a bit too greasy. This is easily rectified though and so I would definitely return. Oh and the cakes looked amazing!!!

The tasting dinner was excellent and imaginative; delicious food with a lot of thought given to presentation and colour. Restaurant tables are generously spaced so there is no sense of being crammed in, and the decor in blues, greys and white is cool and elegant. We found the background music in the seating area around the woodburner rather too loud and intrusive, but in fairness it was less noticeable once we were seated. Rachel and her small team were friendly and welcoming and we were pleased to see Andrew do his stuff at the tables after the meal. A really good experience for a special celebration. We spent two nights in one of their comfortable rooms; a good bed, with a pleasant view up towards the castle. Slight problem with stiff shower controls, which led to a minor flood, but no doubt that will have been sorted. Our only gripe was that after our first night the used tea-things in the bedroom were not taken away, the sodden bath-towels not replaced and the bed not made up. However Rachel prepared an excellent Sunday morning breakfast, and we left in good spirits.

Love the room and the food. Owner was really friendly and local to Montgomery so recommended lots of walks for us during the week

Great food!! What a nice buffet in a wonderful wine shop! Several choices of meats and vegetables with cornbread and rolls! Delicious

Excellent food very tasty and choice of 3 meats most of all value for money . Home from home and even dog friendly . Well done

Went to find this pub for Sunday lunch, Aug 2021 The pub is no longer operating. Also tried The Dragon in Montgomery which was only serving food to residents at present.

Shockingly poor in every way. 1.They had no record of our Mother’s Day booking, made a month ago. 2. Waiting staff scruffy, inattentive and badly trained 3. Food took forever to come and was barely warm 4. We had to ask for the vegetables and gravy that should have been served with the main meal 5. Vegetables were uncooked and cold 6. We had to ask for serving spoons to serve ourselves the veg 7. We had to hunt for a member of staff to take our desert order which took 25 minutes to come 8. There were 2 orders for ice cream - it was served in one bowl and had to be taken away to be split into 2 bowls 9. There were 4 crumbles - all were cold and inedible - we sent them back We have eaten here many times before and loved it, but today it was truly appalling- has it changed hands ? The only saving grace was that when we spoke to management the bill was reduced with no fuss - suggesting they know they’re really struggling. It’s very sad to see how poor this place has become.

I can hardly find the words to describe how special this place is., and I am VERY fussy. Everything - tea, coffee, scones were superb. The lovely owner runs the cafe and post office single-handedly, but still found time to chat and gave us lots of tips about local places of interest. She bakes the cakes and scones herself each day, and it shows - everything tasted wonderful and fresh. She offered us newspapers, and came back to ask if we had enough jam and cream ( we did)….all the while serving post office customers too. A post office in such a small village is probably pretty vulnerable to closure, so she is a real hero, working so hard to keep it viable and open for the local community. The cafe is tiny, only 3 tables. A local couple there when we arrived were very friendly too, so we had a lovely time in Montgomery. Do not miss out on this place if you are within reach of it, Ivy House is unique and absolutely amazing.

Visited this chip shop today as I pasted it earlier and fancied some traditional chip shop chips However I found myself walking into what could only be described as a a rats den Cash only in 2024 (tax avoidance) The chips where tasteless and green The sausage was under the heat lamp to long and tasted like cleaning products I would not recommend this place to anyone
