The best restaurants in Powys Mid Wales

Had fish & chips last night in the Star, fantastic haddock so fresh wonderful and real chips, cheaper than the chippy

Absolutely amazing. Came to my rescue after being let down by someone else on Mothers Day. Definitely would recommend them and Beverley has been a lifesaver. Thank you xx

Mother’s Day lunch … I can honestly say that was the best roast beef dinner I’ve had …. Vegetables cooked to perfection and a Yorkie like a hotair balloon 🎈 desert was also delicious! The staff were excellent and attentive, not overpriced for our 2 course meal and will definitely be returning x Thankyou … what a lovely place, lovely food and lovely staff 😃

So I've just this moment been for lunch on my 66th birthday with 7 members of my family. I was pleasantly surprised to find if it was your birthday, and you provided ID you could have a main course and pudding for free. Being vegetarian I didn't like the main courses, so asked the waitress if I could have a starter and chips as my main course. Bearing in mind I already had a starter before the main course. I said that both were cheaper than a main course anyway, so there no issue. The waitress said it was OK. Nothing else was said and we had a lovely meal. On paying the bill I find that my main course (starter and chips) was charged at full. I queried the waitress and she said the manager had explained I couldn't do a starter and chips. BUT no one had come across and explained that. Similarly there were 4 other people at our table who had main courses, so what was the problem!!!! Don't advertise this promotion if you aren't going to adhere to it. I could have quite easily ordered my husbands main and simply swapped when presented. I also tipped £20 and feel now that my birthday meal was spoilt by such appalling disregard to my complaint, and had I knowingly knew I had to argue over who had which main course in order to fulfil the promotion, I certainly wouldn't have tipped £20. It's not the money but the principle. Don't offer something then find a way not to deliver. The manager was dismissive. Food good but service very poor.

Good selection of burgers but very difficult to contact to make booking and service on the day very slow (didn’t get drinks for half an hour after seating

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

This is the oldest running pub in Rhayader, next to the most picturesque park in the small town. The food is traditional Pub fare but using local ingredients, the meat is excellent. Friendly service with a good variety of dishes. It is a great place to soak up a bit of the local atmosphere, as some local people still go there for a drink in the evening. Do to it extrordinary age and the small space in the building toilets are not in the main building, but they are spoitlessly clean, but can be a bit chilly in the Winter

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.

Very good place for nice and quite place to enjoy alone or groups/family.

Passing through on a biking challenge over the weekend we found this cosy authentic welsh pub. The staff were incredibly welcoming, the beer selection was perfect and they couldn’t do more for us! Would definitely return if in the area again!

The food is always excellent every time we visit, amazing service and the staff are always welcoming - would highly recommend to anyone!

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? 😂)

A small, very busy restaurant with welcoming and efficient staff. The menu is not large but offers a good variety that would offer something for everyone . Puddings particularly good, but all our dishes were well cooked . We recommend

If you decide to come to talybont on usk in February….to enjoy the Brecon Beacons be warned….the Star pub is closed indefinitely and the white hart is closed Mondays and Tuesdays… so you are left with the Royal Oak in pencelli two miles down the road. Otherwise there is no where to have a meal.There was no warm welcome at the pub…which is split in two halves….locals to the left ,intruding tourists to the right.The cook here(not a chef by any standard)produces exceptionally bad microwave food….at stupid prices…..no doubt they will say they only use local produce to support local farmers…..rubbish.my advice…don’t eat here unless you have to…..you can see that I do many reviews and I am always honest…avoid this place.

Travelling back to Swansea from Lake District and goggling a place to stop for Sunday Lunch. This had good reviews & I now know why. The hosts were really friendly, the place was clearly popular. And the ambience & decor was quaint & cosy. Finally, the sunday roasts were so so tasty. Generous portions , and home cooked to the highest quality. Hope to visit again on our travels. ( notice they also do camping & Glamping options too )
