The best restaurants in Powys Mid Wales

We arrived 2ish. The menu was very extensive. Great choice and good wine. The gentleman who served us was a bit abrupt and gave the impression of being a bit annoyed. I apologise if this is the wrong impression. He didn't do chit-chat and was quite straight! The place was really cold even though it's mid-August! Why not use the log burner? It could be really cosy. The food was nice. However, the meat in the pie was very chewy (not good quality), and the salmon was dry. Overall, it was good. Would we call again? I don't think so.

We have been visiting The Drover's for around 25 years. As a full Family initially, now just the two of us. Peter and his Team never disappoint. The welcome is always friendly and we do enjoy a modest pre Lunch drink in the cosy snug out the back. The views of the river are spectacular. It was a bit chilly to be sitting outside on the balcony but one brave chap did take his coffee out there! The food, well, you can't call it 'just Sunday Lunch! It's a foodie treat! Plenty of beautifully cooked food. Always hot and tasty. The quality is certainly there as well. Cannot fault anything and the Sweets are to die for! The atmosphere is invariably pleasant. A good mixture of Walkers, Holiday makers and Locals. Thanks so much for everything over the years Peter. We're already in the process of booking next year's trip to Wales, so keep an eye out for an email soon!

Lovely food, especially the bacon! Fab coffee and hot chocolate

What a fantastic find. A warm welcome given by all.of the staff and customers of this community run pub. We stayed for a weekend, and had the best hospitality. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The room we stayed in was clean and homely. We will definitely return. Thank you for a lovely visit.

Absolutely sensational food. Perfect pint pours and lovely team. Thanks so much for the amazing evening. Highly recommend even if your not local

Lunch for seven people in the garden. The food was outstanding and the service friendly and efficient. The toilet was excellent for disabled people.

Mock timber frame manor house retaining much of its character and charm. No lifts. Breakfast was choose your own pre-packed cereals with a cooked option. Dinner was a mini-taster with delicious options which we watched cooked on TV cameras. The room was clean but dated with an en-suit crammed in. High windows restricted light and views of extensive gardens and river. The staff were friendly and willing but lacked service training. Guests our age do not wish to be called 'you guys'.

Food was sublime. Had probably the best lamb tikka masala I've ever had and peshwari naan was great too. Atmosphere good and sat upstairs is nice a quiet - if a bit far from the service! Regardless love it and want to come back.

Excellent place all round. Wonderful food in a fabulous pub. Nice staff. Would recommend

Stopped by here for a bite to eat and a coffee during a circular walk to the north of Llanidloes. What a lovely little find. We had jacket potatoes, chocolate cake and mince pies alongside a coffee. Delicious food and the cake is exceptional.

Great cafe, wide selection of meals, and a warm welcome!!

Sorry to say it was very underwhelming and disappointing. Although the staff were friendly enough, there was confusion with our simple order for 4 of us. Food and coffee came out one by one, if it came out at all. A piece if cake here, followed slowly by another. They even brought the wrong coffee. We sat waiting for a long time wondering where the rest of the order was. When we questioned it, they were surprised we were waiting for anything. When the food finally arrived, it was bland. The carrot cake had zero flavour! One person had raisins in theirs the other person had none. We have never had a piece of cake that had no flavour in it before. Most places serve everyone on table all at once. Was very strange. Needless to say, this is not a place we will be returning to.

We had an afternoon tea, it was by far the best afternoon tea I have experienced the food was exquisite. Just delightful. Exceeded my expectations!

Whilst visiting Brecon we popped in for some ice cream and it was amazing! So many different flavour and toppings to chose from.

I stayed for a night on business. A lovely warm and friendly welcome on arrival. Food was fantastic (evening meal and breakfast). Great room with a really comfy bed. Would absolutely stay again. Thank you!
