The best restaurants serving British food in Powys Mid Wales

We visited whilst on our way down to Builth Wells. A family of 8. Food was fabulous very tasty. Staff extremely friendly and worked very fast to serve our Sunday lunch. Very large portions and a huge bowl of cauliflower cheese unfortunately only one of our party liked that so a lot went to waste. We would definitely recommend! Diolch yn fawr/thank you very much

we went out for a family meal we ordered our drinks and food but the landlord was so incredibly rude and made us feel not welcome that we ate our meal which was not good we just left we shall not be returning think the landlord needs go learn sum manners

As always, the welcome and the food were second to none. We enjoyed a delicious and relaxed dinner with visiting family and local friends. Our go to place.

The food was good but that’s it , ordered Welsh rarebit but it wasn’t what we ordered, it was onion chutney and cheese on top, so totally wrong chefs need training in a dish that we all know so well in wales . But it tasted really good, if we ordered cheese on toast it’d be 4.5/5 , 2 star as it was just cheese on toast. The cawl was okay, but sadly the lamb wasn’t shredded it was blocks , so it just didn’t seem right. Like it wasn’t boiled for the amount of time it should have been and was slightly bland , tasted nice though but not that real cawl that we are used to. Once again tasted nice but a 3.5/5 .

We only stopped for a quick nonalcoholic drink and a bowl of chips, but the staff were polite and efficient, the chips were very good indeed! The place was clean and tidy, including the toilets. There is an outside area, but parking spaces are limited right outside, and limited to 1 hour only, but there is a large car park in easy walking distance.

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.

Went for lunch with family to celebrate a birthday. Chicken Tikka was one of the meals chosen . Half way through the meal two pieces of black plastic were found in the meal . So only half the meal was eaten . Went to the bar to point out the problem and the lady behind the bar was really apologetic and a refund of the meal was issued. Bit disappointing really 😕

We are staying in the area and have just had the steak and Guinness pie here at The White Lion Hotel. It is the best steak pie we have found in the area....proper homemade pie, rammed full of tender meat with not a piece of fat or gristle in sight! We are pie eating experts and this has gone to the top of our list! Kudos to the chef 👨‍🍳 👏 Bloomin' scrummy! Thank you 😊

Pre asked if dog friendly but on arrival snotty mare said no dogs due to food standards agency.. Now I know that's bs. And rude don't recommend.

Great pub grub. Our evening meal was a salmon main and fish platter which were excellent ,all served by a helpful and pleasant young man. Good portions and excellent value.

Stumbled on the New Inn for lunch. This little pub turned out to be a bit of a gem - great, home cooked food and friendly staff. A good local crowd too to add some atmosphere!

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.

Staff very good, location excellent! Food poor and expensive! Called in on the way to Hereford Hospital and in need of a drink and food. Ordered Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas. Drinks were Pot of Tea and a Coffee. Teapot was chipped around rim and lid cracked with dirty stain. Coffee ok, but very small cup. Fish & Chips arrived and it was obvious that the Fish and the Chips were frozen before preparation, very tasteless and covered in excessive batter. I managed mine as we were in a rush and I was very hungry. My wife struggled to eat hers due to the quality. The staff were very good when I complained, but all they were allowed to do was knock off the drinks price. Still had to pay £25.00 for two basic meals that were very poor! It is a shame that the food department lets the whole store down.

Had the weakest iced latte ever and when I complained I was given another exactly the same. My partner had a luke warm latte. I noted there was not a 5 rating on the cafe. Sorry I would not travel to visit this place without a decent coffee on offer. The prices were the same as the chain coffee shops. Needs a good manager as its a let down.

what a great place to stay. owner pauline is so freindly and helpful. the accomodation is basic but fine. the bar in the evening is great fun. i would recomnend as a no frills but very good b&b.
