The best restaurants serving British food in Hay Powys Mid Wales

We were staying in Hay and Drover offer the only charger for electric vehicles in the town (and it's free). They were generous with their suggestions of using it overnight. They sell maps for local road and MTB rides too, so after we'd been out on one, we stopped by for a coffee and cake. They sell energy bars and gels too, if you're stocking up before or during a ride. A very friendly team!

5 of us and 2 dogs stopped by here on our last day of our weekend away . We had various sandwiches of bacon,sausage .. The lady was great cooking all the items and had a choice of breads, bacon was beaut just how nice like it 😋.. if your passing by and smell the wonderful smell of cooking ,go in and enjoy .

This place is one to visit on your way to South Wales, not posh,but if you want good food that's well cooked this is the place.its also very clean.

We stayed here with our two dogs for one night prior to attending the Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show. Our room was really well equipped and very nicely laid out, and very clean. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff. The full english breakfast was spot on, and they went out of their way to ensure it was ready for us promptly as we had to head off to the show. We will definitely stay here again.

Mary and her team made the whole evening so enjoyable and relaxed. Mary made the organising of an 18th birthday simple, as her flexible, helpful approach meant that details were easy to finalise. We would definitely recommend this as party venue for anyone looking for a night to remember. Thank you Mary and The Globe! A night that Manu will never forget. Jerome and Abi Corre.

This is definitely our favourite cafe in Hay. On our recent week in Hay we went most days for coffee, brunch or lunch. The food is delicious, using locally sourced ingredients as much as possible. The staff are friendly and attentive without being in your face, and it has a lovely feel to the place. It can be a little noisy when full particularly if you are seated in the middle but otherwise what a breath of fresh air. Great room, light and bright looking out over the Castle grounds. Brilliant to be able to take our Cocker Spaniel in too.

Great pub lunch, visited as a group of 8. Staff soon found a table for us and a drinks order was taken fast. Nice pub menu with an Italian theme, some great dishes on there. Food was very good as was the local beer from the lucky 7 brewery. Staff very friendly and helpful, great service. Recommend and would visit again

Room comfortable, staff friendly, enjoyable stay

Incredibly rude old lady in the reception which I can only assume works in the building as she seemed to talk to us as if we had trespassed in her manor… The toilets are dreadful, handles on the cisterns are broken, and they smelled horrendous. The bar had no working staff in it for the 15 minutes we were there and when (as you would on a sunny day) followed the signs to the beer garden the rude old lady stopped us and spoke to us in an incredibly rude manner, so we left and found somewhere more inviting instead.

I had the Mediterranean dips choice, I am not joking to say there was one teaspoon of each dip couple of olives and half a slice of bread very poor for the price. Staff were lovely but need to look at your serving portions !For this reason I will not be visiting again!

Good cosy spot for breakfast in central Hay-on-Wye for breakfast. We enjoyed terrific poached eggs on toast with sausage and avocado on toast. With excellent coffee, we were well set up for serious browsing in the many shops which constitute the world’s second-hand book capital. The bill came to £26.75 for two.

Tried to eat there first night, 8:30pm arrived no greeting, we got her attention and asked where we can sit as we had a dog, she said sit where you want. When we chose our spot went to go to the bar, 8:40pm lady cleaning table informed me they stopped serving food 8:30pm, after a long journey to get here obviously hungry and disappointed we left. Tried today for lunch to be told lamb chops had run out. Which is fine I explained my disappointment and the lady was confused about not being served the night before as they stopped serving at 9pm. She did apologies but won’t be spending money here. Was so tired the night before and left to feed my 10 yr old from the spa store, so knowing this just made me angry, especially as I was hungry but the item I wanted of course had sold out today, just my luck, so out of principle won’t be trying again, not a great start to this area, not ideal but we did choose remote area. Tuesday today most things closed too 🤦🏽‍♂️🙄
