The best restaurants in St. Mary Powys Mid Wales

A great pizza takeaway that does delicious gluten free (and normal) pizzas. The staff are friendly and answered all my questions. They have a separate area to prepare gluten free pizzas, to avoid cross contamination. The pizzas are thin, crispy and really delicious. There are lots of toppings to choose from and they also cater for vegans with vegan cheese and toppings. We usually pre-order our pizzas, as they can get really busy, and we get given a time to pick up our pizzas. Whenever we have been to collect them, they have been ready bang on time.

We had such lovely, friendly service and really good pizza! Would definitely recommend this if you fancy a pizza while visiting the area. So accommodating and welcoming.

Came here for some lunch with my sister. We both had the tuna jacket potatoes. Plenty of toppings and a lovely meal overall. Staff very attentive. Got some lovely cannolis from the show downstairs too.

Great little find for a real coffee and well worth seeking out. I had an authentic Cortado and there are a number of roasts to choose from. They are dog friendly too which is a bonus.

Having parked next to Christ College we walked over the bridge and up Ship Street to this restaurant for a light lunch. The welcome was warm and friendly and we sat at Table 1 where our order was taken. My (GF) wife had a lovely Waldorf Chicken Salad which she really enjoyed and I had the fish soup which was a Seafood Chowder and it was excellent and served as a large portion - I’d choose this again!! All in all, a friendly venue which I can highly recommend.

The best sunday lunch ever beautifully served plenty of it the meat was so well cooked your able to have 1 choice or forjust £1 extra you can have mixedchoice of all available x

Estupendo lugar agradable variedad de zumos y helados. Rocher Arq. mmmmm encantadora, limpia y fácil de aparcar

Lovely place in a lovely town. Great ambience, pleasant and attractive decor and environment and a 5 star service The bar maids - Jess and Lucy are friendly, a pleasure to chat with, and not only barmaids but cocktail connoisseurs that make a great tipple! Fabulous drinks, fast service, and a pleasurable environment to be in. Not to mention - even though the place is pleasant enough with no trouble - the security there does a fab job in helping keep the place run smoothly even though he looks like an extra from Vikings. Well done to all the lounge! Definitely reccomed a visit here for a nice evening out :)

I have been here twice since my coeliac diagnosis. The first time in October 2024, there was a big selection of tapas to choose from and really enjoyed my meal. The menu is labelled with what is gluten free etc and I was confident that the waiter was taking my order seriously. In January 2025, there was a smaller winter menu and the waiter seemed a bit more rushed but because I had eaten there before, I thought it would be fine. However, this was the first time I had experienced being glutened from a restaurant and I was not well. Unfortunately, being coeliac, I am unable to take the chance to eat here again. If you don’t need to eat gluten free, I would recommend this restaurant as the food is lovely and there are a wide choice of drinks to choose from. I just wanted to write the review to make other coeliacs aware.

Sunday night , we travel when we can to here from Tenby only 74 miles , stay at the Wellington Hotel ( see separate review ) This is the best Indian by a long long shot . Food is amazing . This time it was the best Onion Bhagis as starter followed by for Linzi Handi Lamb Slow cooked lamb in an intense aromatic curry of caramelised onions and yoghurt. Flavoured with mace, cardamon & dry-rose petals. Scented with whole garam masala and for me Chicken Dalwala Small pieces of chicken tikka cooked with fried potatoes, pieces of lemon, selected spices and herbs in a thick lentil sauce, medium strength, very nice and tasty, Chapati for me , Linzi had a Peshawari Naan , and we shared two portions of Pilau Rice , now two days on and I am still saying out a loud " god that was a good meal . Already planning a trip back up to Brecon . We like Sunday night as traffic on the roads quiet and the Sunday in the restaurant also apart from a Vegetarian drunk and her partner we had the staff and restaurant to our selves . It's a shame what alcohol and vegetables can do to some one !! Back soon love this place did I mention the big portions. PS I like a restaurant where they welcome you back with a smile and a nod of exceptantance of welcome back mr Tenby .

Great dinner in this characterful country pub in the hills near Sennybridge. Well worth a visit. Tasty food & good service.

Whilst staying in the area of Brecon the children walked past this place so we went back the next morning to try. Don’t bother, food was sub standard and the quality of a below par greasy spoon. Average waffles and awful Welsh Breakfast. By far the worst place we are during our visit. Try harder!

Just had 2 wonderful nights in Brecon and this was suggested to us by our host and I’m so glad she did! An absolute gem of a place. We only had drinks but the food looked fabulous. Really nice atmosphere, we will definitely be back

Just found my favourite Indian restaurant! Outstanding! Tasty and big portions and a good price too. Probably the best Indian food I've had.. lovely friendly staff. (Do you deliver to South Devon? 😂)

The lovely waitress went out of her way to make us feel comfortable after we’d tried unsuccessfully to find lunch with a dog in Brecon. Despite being full in the doggy area we were offered a special table in the bookshop. My son was having a bit of a fussy day and the lovely staff amended the menu to make him something he liked. Even added squirty cream to the pudding! Think he rewrote their menu! Very attentive, knowledgable and friendly staff. Lovely soup, sandwiches, Welsh rarebit and banana loaf.
