The best restaurants serving British food in 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.

We arrived at 6.00pm for a Sunday roast and the restaurant was very quiet so we decided to sit in the bar. It took a while to get someone to take the order and we informed the server that my wife was gluten free and that was not a problem. The roast dinner arrived and we looked at the roast potatoes which were well over cooked and tasted like they had been in the oven or under a hot lamp for far to long, the Yorkshire pudding was also dry and crusty. The dinner at best was Luke warm and my wife sent hers back to be heated up in a microwave. For the price of £17.95 it should of all been fresh and hot. We had been traveling most of the day so we were hungry and ate most of the dinner but we were very disappointed. The bar prices were also high £5.80 for a pint of cider. We have eaten here in the past and always found the food very good but will not be visiting again.

Worst meal we have had full stop Dried up food barely edible and the venue needs a refurbishment So disappointing and will not return

Popped in today for a meal with my partner.The fish and Chips and Haloumi Wrap with fries were excellent. Lovely friendly pup with staff that are a credit to this venue.Having worked in the pub scene for many years in my younger days it is great to see a thriving local venue.

DO NOT dine at THE OLIVE TREE , we went there two weeks ago and was charged twice for our meals I have have rang them numerous amount of times but unfortunately this still hasn't been sorted even though I have given proof of this happening. I have spoke to the accounts department numerous times also but to be honest they are USELESS they keep saying ohh I do apologise we will get this sorted but I'm still waiting for it to be sorted 2 WEEKS ON ,I have tried to get hold of the olive tree direct but that is proving to be impossible. Be very CAREFULL. ... . TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICES.

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.

A good place for a meal. Arriving at 6.15pm one Sunday without a booking, we were made welcome and our meal, a curry and a salad, arrived promptly. Very acceptable and good quality. We would return very happily.

Another great meal. Always enjoy a visit for food at this location. Friendly staff and pooches. As a dog lover, I have no problem with the dogs wandering around.

We’ve been in the restaurant a couple of times now. We especially liked the helpful young man who takes you to your seat. The food has been consistently good and would definitely recommend. The jacket potato with mushroom, bacon and Stilton is a winner with me!

Friendly staff and locals,enjoy playing snooker upstairs at £3 an hr very reasonably priced.

We booked a family get together here for my aunt's 90th birthday and what a buffet they laid on !!! The staff could not do enough for you . The food was lovely a mixture of cold and hot including lovely hot cod goujons and tempura prawns! There was a lovely atmosphere and would like to thank Clive and his wonderful staff for a lovely afternoon.

The ''Craft'' in the title is misleading as all you get is the cheapest mass market beers such as John Smiths and a few trendy Euro Lagers. I popped in as it's about the only traditional looking pub left in this part of the city centre which makes the dull and bland interior just like any other city centre chain pub takeover. As with a few of this chains locations it places itself near to a Wetherspoons as if to attract it's customers into a change of scenery or add it to their daily pub crawl.

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 😊

Waited 45 minutes for food and really wished we hadn’t bothered. My husband had mixed grill which is the photographs below. The black thing is supposedly steak, the mash was the consistency of rubber and the chicken was cold. Will NEVER eat here again

I have been a supporter of Vincent Davies for a very long time, however, on visiting today I found that there is a charge of 39p if you want an alternative milk, you are never told or asked if you want to pay this extra that choice should be yours but Vincent Davies take it upon themselves to not ask but assume that you want to pay it when you think that you are paying nearly a third of a carton only get two cups of tea and have to waste the rest, sorry Vincent Davies you are not what I thought you were
