The best restaurants serving British food in Powys Mid Wales

Went here whilst visiting the area for a birthday. Everything about this place was amazing. Loads of drink choice, big portions and tasted amazing! Definitely recommend.

Another nice trip to The Horse & Jockey. Customer service was great, and the food was lovely as usual.

Food & atmosphere fine BUT OVERCHARGED all 8 of us,!!

We looked at pubs locally that were dog friendly, we arrived ahead with one dog and 12 people following only to be told they had no dog friendly spaces available. Very disappointed we only wanted a quick drink so went to the lion hotel instead very welcoming with good beer, don’t bother with the horseshoes go to the lion hotel instead or the nags head

Average meal eventually. Original meal sent back cold chips. Average staff, food and atmosphere . Nothing special wouldn’t bother again

Oh dear, what has happened to the menu! We have eaten many times here and the food has generally been consistent and the menu sensibly priced and with a good variety of dishes. Our previous visit was about 3 or 4 months ago so I assumed we would get the same or similar menu. My bad for not checking; the old menu has been replaced by pretentious French described dishes (why?!) and a huge price hike across the board. We chose the King Prawns Risotto, overpriced at £18.50. The dish was garnished with one king prawn, no more: the rice was tasty enough but the dish very poor value for money. Regrettably, we won't be returning, such a shame after an association with the hotel restaurant over many years. I suspect many people, like us, will vote with their feet. Nearby Crickhowell has much to offer on the dining front.

Delicious, Freshly Cooked Food! The food was perfectly cooked, wrapped in traditional paper instead of plastic—fresh, hot, and of outstanding quality. Truly excellent value for money. It’s refreshing to see a chip shop that maintains such high standards, avoiding overpriced options with poor service and low quality. Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for restoring our faith in great Fish and Chips! other chip shops need to learn by this!

I took my parents to "The Laughing Dog" for Sunday Lunch. It must be our umpenth visit as we always doing the food so good. The portion sizes are great too 😊 I had the duck and it was cooked to perfection. One wouldn't be disappointed eating at "The Laughing Dog"

Went for breakfast as a treat with the wife and kids. Absolutely great. The service was top notch with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast was brilliant, cooked perfectly and lovely ingredients, with proper butchers bacon and sausages and the best vine tomatoes I’ve ever had. Well recommended, and a treaty breakfast here is now likely going to turn into a family tradition.

Oh wow the decor from the outside tempting but looks expensive and shiny. Then you walk in and feel like you've walked into a diner from the legendary era of film and movie stars. Only it's you that's the special occasion and your friends and family who love the inside and friendly feel of the singing and ambience. I love you all that you for making me feel at home. Sweet potato fries and a black coffee is my recommendation. Hope you enjoy as much as I did Thank you

For a fish and chip shop, you would think they would know how to cook fish. My takeaway contained uncooked batter on haddock. In addition, the chips were a soggy mess having not be drained properly. A brioche bun chip butty??? Curry sauce was good, but guessing that was bought in. Maybe a bad night, but def not going back.

Lovely welcoming team , the food was good pub grub standard , piping hot and good portions . Decor clean and modern , would be nice to have real candles on the table rather than battery ones 😀

The rooms are comfortable and adequate for the modest price. The food is very good at breakfast and evening meals. It is very well located with several places to get alternative food. Also EV charging close at hand in the nearby car park. Parking on the charge point is free from 6pm - 8am. 65p per kW.

Review for Afternoon Tea at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel: We enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It would be nice to have a choice of sandwiches rather than a set selection. The room was quite cold, particularly when guests sitting on the balcony left the door open. The teapots were slightly tarnished, and the cake stand was a bit wobbly. The tables looked a little scuffed—white tablecloths would really help enhance the presentation. The hotel in general could benefit from a refurbishment to bring it into the 21st century. Also worth noting: cash is not accepted here, which may be inconvenient for some. The decaf coffee was a little weak, and it would have been more welcoming if the waiter had asked where we’d prefer to sit, especially as the room was mostly empty, rather than directing us to a specific table. On the plus side, the waiting staff were polite and friendly throughout.
