The best restaurants in Talybont-on-Usk Powys Mid Wales

Amazing lunch!! Tai'r Bull was beautifully decorated and our table was lovely with christmas tree, crackers and festive lights etc. From the lovely home made starters to the amazing mains (everyone got a yorkshire and pigs in blanket) regardless of choice preceeded by champagne sorbet and prosecco. Followed by fabulous home made deserts, then coffee, mince pies and mints. Spent a leisurely afternoon there being looked after by Kate, Keighleigh, Jasmine, Rich, Ian, Liam and staff. They work so hard but still have time to chat to you. Thank you for a wonderful meal and I hope you have a good break in mid January. Can't wait to return in the New Year.

Lovely friendly welcome. Best leek and potato soup I've had in ages + proper homemade Welsh cakes to die for.

Lovely pub, great choice of beers and spirits. Friendly staff, good food. Large beer garden right by the canal. Dog friendly.

Excellent service fitted us in without a booking though this is not recommended. staff were very friendly food was top quality & plentiful.top quality ingredients. Catered for GF too will call again when in the area

10/10 for service- food was excellent- great choice of food on the menu- Try the soup of the day - great flavours- Scones with Jam and Cream were the tops! My family tried all the different types of homemade cakes that were on offer. If you need something really filling then try the Ploughmans Lunch!! The owners and staff were great and made you feel very welcome - so welcome that we returned several times during our weeks holiday. We even placed an ordered for scones to take home with us! If in the area give them a visit - it is well worth it. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR MAKING OUR TRIP EXTRA SPECIAL.

We walked along the canal and stopped for lunch. Dog friendly and they welcomed us even though the dogs were a little muddy! Roaring fire and food excellent. We would be happy to return.

We parked to have a good lunch. Went to entrance with our dog....this is walking country. Even before getting to door, met by barmaid saying that pub was not dog friendly....perhaps hoped we would leave our dog in car. We left......what a most unwelcoming place.

Great place to stay. A friend and I cycled to the area and stayed here overnight. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. The room is a generous size with all the facilities you would want, and you have access to an outside deck area with lounge chairs and table which is ideal on a sunny day. The breakfast was also lovely. The location was great as it’s a 5 min walk from 2 good pubs and a post office/shop

It was so good to be back here. We hadn't passed by since 2018, so it was fantastic to see that it's still going strong. Even though we had already had breakfast, we couldn't resist dropping by for a 'light' brunch. We grabbed a bacon and black pudding sandwich and a coffee, which was as good as we remembered. This would have fuelled us up, Pen y Fan, but alas, we weren't walking that day, so we just got back in the car with full bellies. As friendly as ever and there's something about the food being cooked in the fresh air of the Beacons. We won't be leaving it so long for our next visit!

We stopped here after a hike in the Brecon Beacon and were very surprised at what a great selection of food there was. There was even something for vegans. Both the food and the ambience were very good. Absolutely recommended.

Absolutely disgusting customer service. We were waiting for family to meet us before heading in as a group for drinks, we were greeted by the owner or chef (not sure which) asking what we were doing and instructing us to get out of her car park. We were planning to be paying customers. We went in to ask if she was ok with us coming in and she said she didn’t want us to come in as we hadn’t rang ahead.

We visited for our works Christmas party for the casino night. What was really quite disappointing was the lack of food! No starters or canapés. We were the last table to be served in the whole room and we had a tiny dish (size of the palm of my hand) containing about 3 spoonfuls of cauliflower cheese and the same size dish for the root vegetables. To share between 9 people!!!! They checked on our table multiple times and we asked for more vegetables and nothing appeared! Maybe because we were the last table they ran out?? Upon clearing the tables we could see that the other tables had had larger vegetable dishes. We left very hungry I had to cook myself food when I arrived home at midnight! Other than that the entertainment and casino were really enjoyable and in a lovely room.

Very helpful and friendly staff, excellent gluten free cake, an new extra coffee machine would be a helpful addition, so that more than one cup of coffee can be made at a time.
