The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Wales

Having had a less than successful meal, I left a review on Google. I told nothing but the truth and did not embellish the details. The reply from the 'manager' was so far from the truth, it was unbelievable! I won't make the same mistake again. The Crown opposite is owned by the same company but the meal I had there, the day before was fine. The best way to improve standards is to refuse to pay, you are within your rights to only pay what you think a meal is worth. I paid them £10, which was generous.

On holiday and struggled finding somewhere open for lunch. Service was fantastic, so friendly and welcoming. Food was OK, I think as it was an off peak time the oil wasn't hot enough as it didn't make any noise when cooking, food was soggy and oily. Had fish and chips, price was reasonable, good portion.

Maybe I saw this place at its worst, early on a Thursday evening when I was the only customer. It might be better at 10pm when you are with a bunch of friends and have been to several other hostelries first. The bar is large, with a vast barn behind to accomodate a large number of drinkers who never seem to be present. The barmaid was pleasant enough and served me with a pint of non-descript cold but drinkable beer. I did not eat here or see any signs of what food might be on offer. I remember this pub when it was the Prince Albert, a favourite with rugby players and usually fairly busy...but that was half a century ago. this sparse review is all I can say now.
