The best restaurants serving British food in St. Mary Powys Mid Wales

IT WAS NOT TERRIBLE BUT . . . . . . having checked their website before leaving Cheltenham to check that the café was open that day and driven 50+ miles it was very annoying and disappointing to find it was CLOSED. The gentleman mowing the front lawn (possibly the owner or manager) replied to my disappointment saying "Oh, yes, I must get around to changing it (the website)".

Fabulously fresh food for brunch and lunch plus amazing cakes. All the old favourites plus some innovative artisan additions. Fantastic focaccia and stunning sourdough sandwiches alongside traditional, huge breakfast muffin. Good vegetarian and vegan choices as well.

We took the family here for Sunday lunch after hearing mixed reviews (mainly negative reviews on appearance rather than service or food) Personally we could have overlooked the dated decor and slightly slow service had the food been better. However unfortunately the food was very salty and vegetables were slightly overcooked. Meat was tasty and Yorkshire puddings were large and crisp on the outside, exactly as we like them. Overall an okay experience, which could be made so much better with a little bit of extra attention to detail. We would return and try it again.

Very basic. Confused about its identity. No contact tracing being carried out, first place we’ve encountered this issue so far. Didn’t have faith in the cleanliness. Things go downhill when you go downstairs. Graffiti everywhere and general feeling of grubbiness. Staff member pleasant enough but will not be returning.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Our waitress Alicia was particularly jolly. Spontaneous Sunday lunch as a pit stop on long drive. The trio of roasts was delicious. Busy buzz about the place. Nice old building right in the centre of town.
