The best restaurants in Newtown East Powys Mid Wales

Whant in to town yesterday, it was one of about three pubs open the pheasant was the one to see the game between wrexham v notts co a great afternoon

I’ve been going to this Chinese for nearly 40 years, the people are really nice and the food is excellent, five stars I would give more but 5 is maximum

I have been to the Oriel Cafe before in fact quite a few times but mostly morning and lunch time. Today myself and my aunty of 83 called in at 3.35. i asked if they were shutting and she said at 4pm. I then thanked her and ordered tea and a coffee. The whole time it was an unpleasant experience she cleary didnt want to serve me. Admittedly the reason was in the middle of the room sitting around a table were her friends or family? The drinks were thrown down with no eye contact or any words spoken. It was an unpleasant experience as up till then had always told people to call in if they were in Newtown. wont be going again and will not be recommending. Such a young girl but really does need to learn customer service is with a smile!

The dining experience here is always amazing. The staff are friendly, and will banter with you/ make you feel welcome. The hot drinks are insanely good and the atmosphere is everything you want from a café. The vibe during Christmas was magical, it's lovely to visit a café in which the staff seem so eager to help, and go out of their way to decorate it in a homely way. My only complaint is that it is too expensive; I do understand that the quality is higher than many places, and the staff are clearly deserving of high pay, but during a cost of living crisis paying nearly £10 for cake/ biscuit and coffee is not something that I feel like I regularly want to do. There is the app which can give some great reductions, but the offers don't last forever, and without them it's high prices. When it comes to a treat out, there is no better place than Costa..it is an incredible experience. However, there are certainly more reasonable places in town.

Fantastic service. Excellent menu. We have thoroughly enjoyed on each occasion we have been.

Went here whilst visiting the area for a birthday. Everything about this place was amazing. Loads of drink choice, big portions and tasted amazing! Definitely recommend.

A hotel with split personality. The modern part is fantastic and very desirable to be in. The other is clean and well serviced but suffers from creaking floors and tight turns. Character some call it. Breakfast was fantastic!

Lovely food came here on my holiday best takeaway food beautiful food

Went in for a relaxing drink after shopping and needing a sit down. There is an indoor market, almost opposite this pub, which has lots of interesting stalls. Asked if ok for our dog to come inside with us and he was warmly welcomed too :) I had a lovely half of lager and lime which tasted great and was lovely and cold, hubby had a pint which he also really enjoyed. Our dog was given a big bowl of water to drink which he greatly appreciated. There's a big TV showing sport. Everyone was so friendly in here, a great pub and well worth a visit if you're in the area.

3 hours we waited for food and it was freezing cold no apology avoid this place

First time ordering from Baba Ali’s today. The lads were incredibly friendly to everyone who came in and had our large order ready very quickly and even gave us a large bottle of pop on the house which was very kind. The food was really good too, 1 chicken burger, 3 beef burger, chicken donor and garlic bread, all hot and really nice! Will definitely order from you again- thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Got very ill off the milkshake 😩 Shake machine hasn't been cleaned properly in 2 months Shake still tastes of mint and made us ill. No answer when contacted. Disgusting practice for a food place.

Friendly and excellent service today in the cafe. Single person cooking and serving but her attention and customer service was first class, excellent. Food was good and cooked fresh.

Cannot cook a runny fried egg two mornings out of four. Bar staff friendly easy to park for breakfast. Such a shame but egg and bacon isn’t the same as Bacon and omelette!

We always went for breakfast to the black boy but food was cold. So we left it for a few months gave it another try it was good untill today. Ordered breakfast seem to take a while and it wasn't busy. When it came it was cold on a cold plate, told the lad serving. He replied " that's strange I watched them cook it and brought it straight out". He had been behind the bar all the time so could not have watched them. He took it back and brought fresh it was hot but still on a cold plate. They could learn a lot from the guys in Shrewsbury.
