Went to Banks for the first time yesterday for a pre Christmas dinner with some friends. Had memories of it's precious use as a pub and was very impressed by the new look that it had. The staff were very attentive and helpful even though it was a very busy night. I had the prawn and crayfish cocktail, the turkey roulade road and Christmas pudding all of which were presented every well and tasted very nice. Deft will be going back sometime. Thanks to all of the hard working staff

Nearly £20 for 2 coffee's and 2 slices of cake. Cake was disappointing over sweet jam and cream wasn't fresh at the price they are charging I expected a lot more. Service was ok but slow. They seemed to be overwhelmed with the small amount of people waiting to be served even though there were lots of staff. Carrying jugs of boiling water around isn't best practice and the sugar etc needs to be by the serving counter not the other side of the cafe this is a hazard when people are walking through to get to tables, people stood waiting for drinks then others carrying unlidded cardboard cups through this to get sugar. Also trays might be useful as carrying 2 cakes on paper plates and 2 hot coffee's isn't easy. Over all disappointed and won't be going back.

Very pleasantly surprised by the food here, so I felt compelled to write a review. We have popped in quite a few times for a pint, but never for food until yesterday. The atmosphere in the pub is very sweet and cosy with fires going when it's chilly. Good real ales on tap and the bar staff have always been friendly. The food though... we were very impressed! Really tasty, properly comforting pub food, all home made and with local ingredients too! 4 of us eating, two with quite specific dietary requirements but were catered for really well. This was the only place in Kington where we could find a good selection of gluten free options! The chef came out of the kitchen to check everything was okay, talking us through some of the dishes as we were choosing and ask how the food was. He seems genuinely passionate about his food, taking pride in how he tweaks the recipes each time - this was lovely to see. If I was to nitpick, the dining room doesn't have quite the same cosy atmosphere as the main part of the pub, so some tweaking is required here. That being said, this place is truly a real gem that is worth your visit and we will definitely be eating here next time we're in town.

Owners were lovely on the phone when I placed my order! The breakfast was not greasy at all, very good portion sizes and made fresh to order! Thank you very much for helping me with my hangover this morning!

Don't want to big up the many screens and cheap beer too much in case it gets too popular.
