The best restaurants in Powys Mid Wales

Ignorant rude server. Kebab was ok nothing special and expensive. The server needs to learn some manners and treat paying customers with at least a smidgeon of respect. The older server was downright rude and aggressive . Would not use again and would advise others to go elsewhere.

On arrival, I was told I had a room in the wing, going through the entrance, the stench was overwhelming. I had to contact reception as it was very cold in there with the heating only coming on when the timer kicked in which was not for another couple of hours. The Internet also failed to connect. I had hoped for a swim in the pool as advertised on the website but this too was closed. Then there was the issue of the water pressure which made it practically impossible to have a shower, the water hardly trickled out. The wing in my view is just not fit for purpose, it is the worst hotel experience I have had for many years.

We came to this cafe on the recommendation of a friend who comes here regularly on the way to Aberystwyth. We had 2 vegetarian breakfasts which were hot and tasty and a very good portion. We got 3 vege sausages, hash browns, beans, cooked tomatoes, eggs, toast and mushrooms. I altered my brekkie, removing the mushrooms and asking for scrambled egg which they did without any problems. Each brekkie was just £5.50 which we felt was very good value. The server was friendly and the cafe had a nice atmosphere. It is a basic no frills cafe but delivered what we had been told which was very tasty and good value breakfast. We were happy and would definitely go back. Especially at that price!

We went on a Monday hoping for a pasta dish or steak and all they had on the menu were pies or burgers no other options so be aware of that. Felt like they catfished us with the photos on here lol. I had bbq ribs (£15)off the specials menu which was very limited and they were very dry hardly any sauce on them but they did give a lot of ribs tbf. The chips tasted a little burned but the corn on the cob was lovely. Also the venison burgers are just a patty and sauce. The place was okay but if you are going to eat here just be warned that the menu is probably not going to look like the ones online and the pictures of all the different dishes probably won't be available. Place has a very lived in home feel. Also you had to go up to the bar to order but they don't allow you to pay until after you've had food which we thought was a little odd. Anyway, okay overall just don't expect a lot of variety.

So last night I decided to park in the Lay by in Llanidloes were the riverside cafe is so I can get up in the morning chill out enjoy a cooked breakfast get my trailer from RPF head back to the yard then go home after being away from home for two weeks anyway I got there at 2330 there was 4 lorrys in there so I parked up tidy with plenty of room I got up at 0800 went to order my breakfast and a cup of tea and was met with a barrage of abuse from the woman in the Cafe in front of every one saying I had been parked there since 1700 yesterday and the lay by was privately owned and to get from there 

Had food with family and friends. Verry good food, staff polite. Quick service. Not over priced. Thank you ever so much xx

Stated here in one of the courtyard rooms which was fine. Breakfast was extra but again was fine. Given the cost was reasonable value for money.

Visited today… 13th Feb 25. Great place for a lunch. Courteous staff. Very tidy , clean establishment. Excellent menu with a Specials board. Beer at very reasonable prices as was the food which was a good restaurant standard. Wide range of food on the menu. We had 4 mains plus puddings. We opted for 2 x Chicken curry, 1 Chicken Tagine and 1 Mackerel dish. I think the Chicken curry was one of the best I have ever tasted This was echoed by my colleague. The Tagine and the Mackerel dishes also had high praise. The very tasty Cheese cake was ordered for pudding x 4. A great meal. The Bear is a treasure waiting to be discovered. We will certainly return.

Worst Sunday lunch we have ever had!!! When the plates arrived almost everything was burnt...carrots, parsnips, meat. Menu said "Roast beef" and "Roast leg of lamb" but they were obviously cheap cuts of meat which had been done on a griddle! The roast potatoes were frozen ones which had been cooked in oil for far too long and were really hard. No cutlery on the table so all had to wait a while for the girl to "dump" them on the table. Will not go there again.

Well wow. Food was Awful Service was Abuismall Burgers not cooked still pink Gammon under cooked Don't waste your money Arugunt staff

First class fish and chips and great real ale. New owners and a new chef. Ticks all the boxes! New owners and a new chef. Very promising

Am visiting family and fancied a take away. Staff were miserable... Absolutely awful food , pizza was tasteless, cheesey chips were soggy and the cheese had no taste. Garlic baguette was swimming in tasteless cheese. Wont be coming again 🤢🤢🤮 Someone get me a stomach pump !!! 🚫AVOID🚫

This is a great food place. I had the cheesy chips with nuggets and my grandparents had large cod with chips. I go there ALOT. Although i did have to wait a long time once its alright.
