The best restaurants in Powys Mid Wales

Pizzas were really good, prices were good, staff were friendly, what's not to like!? Will definitely be back.

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.

Sunday Lunch 11/05/2025 Friendly & efficient staff & roast beef meal excellent (so good we booked for next Sunday) good portions & nicely presented.

Great food!! What a nice buffet in a wonderful wine shop! Several choices of meats and vegetables with cornbread and rolls! Delicious

Great great pub, fantastic atmosphere and super friendly. If you want a sterile identikit chain pub kind of feel then this pub will not be for you, but for everyone else this should be a destination pub in Builth. Good beer and cider options, open plan seating options as well as cosy alcoves. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful, spent a lot of time helping us find a taxi back to our middle-of-nowhere campsite. It's rare that pub customers can listen to their own choice of music so a juke box is a great feature here.

Fabulous Food, lovely welcome!!! Was treated individually and will be back! Thank you Jake for a most amazing crossiant!

Went to find this pub for Sunday lunch, Aug 2021 The pub is no longer operating. Also tried The Dragon in Montgomery which was only serving food to residents at present.

Whant in to town yesterday, it was one of about three pubs open the pheasant was the one to see the game between wrexham v notts co a great afternoon

Great food and fabulous service- I would strongly recommend a visit if you are in Hay on Wye I have visited this cafe 3 times over the weekend and each time I have been impressed by the quality of the food and the friendly people. They went out of their way to help and made each visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience

Stopped here with a big group of friends for lunch. Fantastic welcome, lovely food and really friendly service - couldn't fault anything. Recommended !!!!!

I’ve been going to this Chinese for nearly 40 years, the people are really nice and the food is excellent, five stars I would give more but 5 is maximum

I have been to the Oriel Cafe before in fact quite a few times but mostly morning and lunch time. Today myself and my aunty of 83 called in at 3.35. i asked if they were shutting and she said at 4pm. I then thanked her and ordered tea and a coffee. The whole time it was an unpleasant experience she cleary didnt want to serve me. Admittedly the reason was in the middle of the room sitting around a table were her friends or family? The drinks were thrown down with no eye contact or any words spoken. It was an unpleasant experience as up till then had always told people to call in if they were in Newtown. wont be going again and will not be recommending. Such a young girl but really does need to learn customer service is with a smile!

Cheap and cheerful. Basic menu. Friendly staff.

The stench of cigarette smoke was unbearable, plus smoking inside is distracting

Whilst staying in the area of Brecon the children walked past this place so we went back the next morning to try. Don’t bother, food was sub standard and the quality of a below par greasy spoon. Average waffles and awful Welsh Breakfast. By far the worst place we are during our visit. Try harder!
