The best restaurants in Powys Mid Wales

Worst take away meal we’ve ever had from an Indian. Had a Makhani and a Mowgli. The food was very watery and absolutely tasteless. Even the pineapple ring had no taste. We’ve had this experience there before but decided to give it another try. Most of my husband’s food went in the bin.

This was a very quirky delightful hotel. The landlord and his grandson couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant. Would certainly recommend

We used to use the Palace many years ago and after returning to the area thought we would pay it a visit - sadly a mistake. The evening didn’t start well. We were asked to wait rather than being seated while the staff sent out take aways. When we were seated the room for diners was cold. Guests were eating with coats on…. We ordered a drink and poppadoms and main courses. The main courses arrived nearly an hour after we entered the restaurant. The staff told us they had been prioritising take aways. The lamb dish advertised on the menu was really poor. There were four slithers of lamb and the meat was tough. The Chicken Balti was also not good - the dish was ruined by far too much rough cut onion. When this was pointed out to staff the response was to try and tell us that this is how the dish is served in India - laughable. Please don’t tell brummies how a balti is served India - we invented it…. After making polite observations to the staff they went into a sulk. We won’t be returning.

Amazing staff, great food and another lovely Christmas visit warm by the fire. We also have visited in the summer season which is nice to sit out and have a drink.

Lovely fish and chip shop! Fresh fish and so delicious. Catered for my sons food allergy by checking too. If your near, go!

Bought fish and chips. I drove only 4 miles and ate them out of the box so no plates to make them go cool. Chips were hot and tasty, fish and peas were lukewarm at best. Fish batter was too greasy. Liquid grease leaked out of box and ran into canvas shopping bag, clothes and car seat leaving ugly stains. Bad oily aftertaste. So disappointing. really wanted to love this fish and chips, having looked forward so much to tasting it. I travelled a long way for them because they were given an award. Not sure If I will give them a second go.

We visited from Bristol suburbs. I didn't pre book and arrived at the Gurkha Inn wanting to have a couple of drinks before our meal. They had a lot of tables booked but agreed they could fit us in later. They got a table free half an hour later. We ordered 2 main courses and 2 rice's. The portions were large and delicious. Excellent food, quick and friendly service. The prices were also very low. Anna

We ordered 6 packs of welsh cakes which i had to hand out to friends when i got back to Farnborough in Hampshire, everyone has said how delicious they were and i have already got more orders coming in, i just want to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Strand for being courteous and great at their jobs and for making us a great product, "i will be back"

Small restaurant in an old farm kitchen with just a few tables creating a very relaxed and intimate setting. The menu is also small featuring mainly classic meals but very well put together. We had a three course meal for a set price and everything was beautifully cooked. They catered well for me being unable to eat gluten including some GF bread when I arrived with olives which was a really nice touch. Also the wine list is very impressive although I was driving this time so didn't get to sample. Lovely food and recommended.

Fantastic Chinese takeaway. The food is all cooked fresh,large portions,tasty and hot,compared to others very well priced. Cannot fault this takeaway in any shape or form, very busy indeed,so probably best to pre order. Should you be in the area I highly recomend. Plenty of parking right next to the place itself.

We had a great stop here following a long drive, the food was good value, tasty and very filling.

I have been here frequently in the past, but it has been a while. Fried fish and hamburger steak was overcooked. Very disappointed for $15.00 a plate.

Our first time here this morning. From the minute we walked in we was welcomed and seated. All staff were welcoming. Myself and fiancé ordered a full English, food was lovely not one fault and clear plates. I had a cappuccino which was tasty and perfect. We were approached and asked if everything was okay during our meal. We paid with cash and left a tip as we were very pleased. We will definitely be attending again on our next stay.

We went in as a family of 5 with a wheelchair (having to turned back from another pub which we couldn't get the chair in). We loved it from the moment we walked in - the SA flag on the wall did help, as the well as the Halloween decorations - madly busy but fantastic fun. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the food, although a long wait , it was exceptionally fantastic - obviously made to order too! Look forward to returning, hopefully at Christmas.

Fabulous cafe in a beautiful setting. We often come here when we visit the Elan Valley. The food is excellent, lovely coffee and cakes. Staff are friendly, professional with service with a smile.
