The best restaurants in Tawe-Uchaf Powys Mid Wales

Sadly the opening hours are wrong. We went on a Friday lunchtime and they were not open.

So i stayed here for 2 nights. I could have stayed forever! The area is lovely for starters. Very close for hiking in the brecon beacons which is why I was there. The only reason I couldn't stay is that I will be extremely fat and very poor 😂 The food is absolutely levels above anything I have eaten in years. And it was consistent! We had 2 breakfasts, 2 mains and some sides and had zero complaints about any of it. Tipping isn't something that common i don't feel in the UK, however if my meal and drinks can to £51.20, I gave them £60 and said keep my money. The staff are so welcoming, helpful and polite I felt they deserved every penny. The roast beef i could have eaten with a spoon it was that tender. I live 2 hours away and would definitely go purely to eat and drive back. Worth it! This is genuinely a hidden gem that deserves every bit of praise and recognition they get. (Even though I kinda don't want everyone to find out so it's harder to book a table) And just to top it all off, after eating all of the beautiful food, there's a little zoo around the back to wonder around to walk it off. 😀

Stopped off here yesterday after our walk to the waterfalls and what a lovely little pub, The food was outstanding every dish we had was freshly cooked and could tell it was homemade. Very homely feeling and the staff were lovely and friendly Will definitely be back to try more dishes on the menu.

Start with the good , great staff and extremely warm welcome during a busy time and (I think) was the owners very friendly and chatty Breakfast was very well cooked a nice choice of hot and cold Unfortunately the bed in room 1 was worst I ever slept on so uncomfortable and noisy every slight movement it would sound likes it’s breaking also alot of noise above the room, Lovely atmosphere in the bar area and a really really good selection of drinks however the restaurant I felt very cramped as tables was so close together, The starters (calamari and the goats cheese tart) we had was well cooked and a nice size however mains was a big disappointment I had the fish it was large and extremely well cooked how ever the chips were still undercooked in the middle so I doubt they was the triple cooked chip as stated on menu My partner has the burger which was served in a Huge bun with so much pickle you couldn’t find the burger which unfortunately was that undercooked it almost walked of the tiny board it was served on, we did send back and the second one was still pink and undercooked We did not eat !! Again staff was great and over all a lovely pub however left feeling slightly dissatisfied

I ordered creamy garlic mushrooms. There was no cream. No taste no flavor. Veg balti had no ingredients of a balti curry. We spoke to the manager his reply was. Oh well other people said it was nice. Extremely disappointed.

Christmas lunch 2023, £90 per head. Utter disappointment and a truly Fawlty Towers-esque experience. We had to laugh as it was Christmas Day but it was really awful. No one in reception, sign saying go to the bar. No one in the bar, eventually found a passing member of staff and we were directed to where Christmas lunch was happening. Through a door with a large sign saying ‘toilets’ past a kitchen set up and into what I assume is their banqueting space. We managed to catch someone’s eye and rather than being shown to our table we were waved in the general direction and had to please ourselves. After ten minutes of just sitting there I had to get up and ask a nearby waitress to take our drinks order. She seemed a little bit surprised we wanted drinks… Eventually some drinks arrived but it would take four more times asking for some water for the table before it came. Starters came out eventually and were fine. We then thought it would be nice to have some wine…. Me- could we have some wine please? Waitress- ……….. Me- do you have a wine list? Waitress- …..not really a wine list no…… what were you thinking of……. Me- maybe some white wine? Nice and dry? Maybe something from New Zealand? Waitress- erm…. I think we have a Pinot?? I don’t know about wine, I’m the wedding planner….. Me- ok let’s try the Pinot… Screw top of Italian Pinot Grigio plonked on the table and three glasses plonked down upside down….. By this point we really needed the wine! Mains were served, plated turkey dinner. We wait patiently for the dish of veg seen in the middle of all the other tables. It doesn’t arrive. I catch the eye of the waitress and enquire…. In her words ‘hmmm, they have run out of veg and there’s no more. I’m not sure what the plan is….’ No apology, nil, nada. Not five mins later we see veg sailing out to other tablets. At this point not even the wine is enough to soothe and we managed to ask the only sensible member of staff in the place, who magics up some veg asap. I could go on but I won’t. What the experience lacked in terms of service, it make up for in sheer comedy value but was daylight robbery for what we actually had. Hey ho! Update- very kindly the venue read my review and got back to me directly without me having to chase. They kindly refunded the cost of a bottle of wine and £15 per head. To be clear, the food was fine, I think we expected a little more for the price though, maybe a glass of fizz on arrival, coffee and petit fours after the meal etc. Kelly was fab on the day and when replying. The rest of the service was poor as described as above.

Excellent lunch and amazing little zoo. The inn is lovely with nice art on walls . We brought our grandson who loved seeing the little zoo. Such a nice experience. Food was really very good and great chidrens menu

Had the weakest iced latte ever and when I complained I was given another exactly the same. My partner had a luke warm latte. I noted there was not a 5 rating on the cafe. Sorry I would not travel to visit this place without a decent coffee on offer. The prices were the same as the chain coffee shops. Needs a good manager as its a let down.
