The best restaurants in Powys Mid Wales

We phoned and ordered our food. We asked how long it would be before we could collect and we were told 50-55 minutes (cash only when we turn up to collect). My parents went to collect this and waited near by. They then went in after the time we were told. They were then told that they only start cooking the food once we paid so it would be another 35-40 minutes. This is absolutely ridiculous! Even if this is the way they operate (which isn't standard and very odd!) why not tell us this when we called and ordered! We were given a time to pick up the food. There was no mention of having to come in to pay before they would start cooking. A really bad experience! Customer service at it's worst!!

The worst takeaway ever beef chow mein soaked in a dark sauce and the special chop suet soaked in the same dark sauce no taste , the curry sauce is thin runny and green they have taken there eye off the ball it used to be a good takeaway but now it’s just awful if this is all the people in Rhayader have as a Chineese takeaway well I wouldn’t even bother , terrible

OMG I don't usually do reviews but having spoken to the little girl who was doing her homework while helping to run a genuine family business, one I have eaten at for over 4 years. I am moved to challenge some of the reviews. I come from Liverpool which has had the biggest and earliest Chinese community in the World, outside of China, until very recently. I therefore have eaten Chinese food my whole life and this is one of the BEST places you will EVER find. This Family can cook! The service is never less than lovely and EVERYTHING I have eaten EVERY TIME has been of the highest quality. Thank you guys for being in my little Welsh village! Much Love John Paul x

Great bargain. Got my breakfast, a kids breakfast, unlimited tea and a fruit shoot for just over £8. Decent breakfast. Autism friendly as it had all the runny foods ( beans, chopped tomatoes and guacamole) in separate pots so that they don’t touch the other food. As we as the runny foods I got a veggie sausage, 2 hash browns, a fried egg and 2 toast. Kids breakfast is 3 items.

Our 2 children wanted fish and chips for dinner so we thought we would try frydays. The woman serving us poured salt and vinegar on the food despite us saying that the kids don't like vinegar and salt. She did redo the food but we incredibly aggressive about it... I will remind you that we said we dont want salt and vinegar but she ignored us... We got home before opening the food... and it wasn't food.. the chips were raw, the fish was raw and the batter was literally dripping off the fish. It is lucky we decided to playe it up for the children otherwise they may have started eating it without realising it was uncooked "food". I have reported them to the food standards agency but I advise everyone to stay away from this group of monsters... Truly appalling. If I could give a 0 rating I would...

Stood waiting to be served for 5mins while 3 of the staff were busy chatting amongst themselves I thought it was very rude so walked out and won't be recommending it to any1

I just like to thank Joe for his excellent service this morning towards me and my mum in Greggs this morning very friendly and helpful First class service keep up the great work Joe

Took our daughter out for an evening meal when she was home from uni. The restaurant was busy and the staff were struggling to cope. The food was average but a good portion size and came in a timely fashion. A little pricey overall. There was no website for this pub so I couldn't have a look at the menu before arriving . The car park was full of large pot in holes.

Quite nice, a bit scruffy, but coffee good

What an absolute dive do not order any food from this place how it's still open is beyond me swimming in grease is an understatement the chicken balls I could have squeezed out and used the excess oil to cook with for the next year the crispy chilly beef was gob smackling bad tiny bits that should have been binned I think if I asked my kids to cook me something with zero knowledge would have done better What a waste of money very poor standards and ordered an extra curry sauce which I had to go back for as they forgot to put it in and was given a quarter full container Greesy over salted under cooked but burnt food idk how you do that and dirty black carrots actually wtf shocking

Debbie and all the staff have great smiles and great conversation to help start your day with a laugh and a joke. The breakfast is good too.

For a Friday evening, there was 1 making up the food. 2 others serving. Very slow.

Ordered from this place every time we were there to visit. The food is always amazing, not greasy like others take aways. My favourite, beef chow mein

After doing some shopping, it was great to take a seat in the cool, calm inside of the pub. We enjoyed a drink before ordering our food. Unfortunately, there was a family group who were very loud and disruptive, we were thinking of moving tables but thankfully they were nearly finished. We were impressed by the staff, as the group were obviously out to cause trouble but the staff remained calm and polite. We enjoyed our meal despite the group's attitude and continued to be impressed by the staff. The group, not surprisingly, complained that the food was disgusting and inedible, despite there being very little left. Again, the main staff member was calm and polite, my husband was prepared to step in as a witness, if necessary but he kept everybody calm. It was a lovely couple of hours.

What friendly staff, a fast, efficient, friendly service was received. Thank you.
