The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Wales

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.

Absolutely awful. 3rd time we have been here and complained everytime... food cold or items missing. Wine served in a brandy glass . Complaint sent to wetherspoons to be told sorry .we will speak to area manager.

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 😊

Staff very pleasant : good pretty bad . Vegetable soup tasted like nothing at all , it was so bland , like baby food . My dad’s BLT sandwich was sadly inedible . Chips stone cold . Won’t bother again .

This woman is not the ideal person to run a business, she ignored me the first time I went in as she was on the phone to a bank, then the next time I came back an hour later she was so flus=stered she spoke to me like I was not wanted in there ...... this is the 4th time I have tried to visit this cafe and she has been rude every time , the post office is dirty and needs a complete re-fit - awful and I would never go back

Fascinating unique place, visit quite a few times for a cuppa and nose....but wish the restaurant staff could smile, interact, to make the experience more enjoyable. Feel like inconvenience to place an order.

Lunch here was freshly made and tasty. Delicious homemade vegetarian soup and a good selection of vegan and gluten-free options. Staff were friendly and views were breathtaking.

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.

Amazing! Service from the owner & his daughter lexi My cocker spaniel Ralph was nervous for a pub visit & he actually took biscuits from them ❤️ Will definitely be back weekly. Lovely hospitality & great beer 🍺 diolch !

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.

Came here twice in one week while staying around the corner. Very friendly welcome, everyone was lovely! Food was really nice, had something different on both visits and was very happy with the food every time My husband said it was the best mixed grill he had ever had Will definitely return again when visiting the area

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.

We stopped here for a few drinks and sat in the pub which was lovely. Plenty of seats and warm cosy rooms. Also had a lovely fuss of Bailey the local dog :) The landlord was very friendly and very kind to give me a birthday drink :) also he gave us some beer and cider recommendations. Reasonable prices and a spotlessly clean pub and toilets. Especially the day after New Year’s Day!! Lots of bar snacks and the landlord told us they have a pizza oven which sounds lovely so shall we come back to have one. Very good atmosphere!!!! We are staying at a local lodge and have came in here a few times. Recommend if you're in the area.
