The best restaurants in Mid Wales

Just been taken over by Martin and Mel, fantastic food with a really great cosy, friendly atmosphere. Log fire adds to the chilled traditional pub feel Highly recommend Sunday lunch

Our first visit to the restaurant and DEFINITELY not our last. We have been to quite a few restaurants locally in past few years. But this gem of a find is by far the best carvery we have EVER had. All the family said the same and my wife also said the desert was to die for (personally, I don't know how she had room for it). We will definitely be going again, to try the main meals, also they are dog friendly, but can you let them know in advance when booking a table.

Absolutely delicious ice cream. Is not melty like regular ice cream. Lush and delicious flavours. Highly recommend the raspberry and pomegranate.

This old school pub is just superb. Lovely traditional pub atmosphere with a great selection of real ale. Even better, Wednesday through to Sunday they do food. Not ordinary pub food but a Jamaican/Welsh fusion. Everything that I have eaten here has been fantastic. Hard to name a favourite but do try the goat curry, oxtail and beef rib accompanied by Jamaican rice and peas, (black eyed peas more like beans). You will not be disappointed!

A limited but interesting menu. Every dish is beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Great staff as well. It was a real surprise to find such overall quality in the rural backlot of Mid Wales. We all enjoyed our meal so much that we are already making plans to visit again. In the meantime to others seeking something different in your culinary experience, make the effort to visit this restaurant The lamb was perfection, loved the crab based starter but felt the crab portion could have been larger and with some brown meat. Everyone agreed that the various potato sideplates [chips, mashed etc] were delightful.

Our first visit here last October was amazing and we were so looking forward to going back a year on but we were so disappointed and won’t be returning. The service was just shocking and we weren’t the only ones who were unhappy. This was a real difference to our first experience when we were served by a wonderfully attentive host. We sat downstairs this time, as we wanted the indoor outdoor experience. We were welcomed and shown to a table packed in the corner of the terrace area. We sat down, sitting drinking the water in a lovely jug covered in tin foil…, waiting too long to be brought menus. Then more waiting for someone to come and take a drink order and obviously a food order because we’d waited a long time. No drinks appeared after 5-10 minutes (ordered a cider and glass of wine). Then our food came out and still no drinks. Meanwhile a table next to us waited almost 20 minutes for an order to be taken (the man had to get up and flag a waitress down) then were told there had been a lot of orders and their food would be 20 minutes. They were unimpressed. Our drinks finally arrived! The food was tasty and huge pizzas but the tables couldn’t actually fit two pizzas on. No one came to check our food was ok or ask if we wanted another drink. We finished our food and asked for a pizza box and the bill. These things, again, took a while to come. We left cash and couldn’t be bothered to wait around for change so left. As we drove past, our table still hadn’t been cleared and the money was left. The service left us feeling really disappointed after us both really looking forward to returning following a great experience the first time on ok anniversary. Maybe we should have sat upstairs again with the great Italian man - the owner I think. A real shame.

What a lovely find! Stopped off in Builth for some lunch and saw cafe sign so thought we’d take a look. So glad we did. On entering the quaint characterful Tea rooms we were welcomed by a lovely lady who treated us with courtesy and friendliness and made us feel very welcome. Food was excellent ,reasonably priced, plentiful and of great quality. Definitely recommend and definitely going back.

Lovely welcome from two cheerful men. Really accommodating with our Gluten Free Breakfast plus my awkward request. Everything cooked to our liking and how we requested. Everything was extremely hot, great hot chocolate.

A friendly welcome and excellent Sunday lunch. Marvellous choice of desserts. And an added bonus of being introduced to the locals who were very entertaining. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Definitely go here if you can! The atmosphere was really friendly and cosy, with a roaring fire, great food, interesting books, and a delicious array of local beers. The locals were rightly proud of their local and we can't recommend it highly enough!

Called in here for coffee and cake before visiting Brecon cathedral. The staff were lovely - huge smiles and very helpful. Cakes were delicious - lime and courgette was good. Made for a very pleasant stop. Cathedral interesting - so glad we came here.

Very friendly! Fast service, lovely food!

Arrived on spec without calling ahead. Received a very warm welcome and fitted in. The food was delicious and plentiful. I especially enjoyed the variety of fresh seasonal vegetables. We were a group of 6, 4 adults and 2 young children, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

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
