Dewi's Secret Garden - Brecon

Found this place while visiting Brecon. Great service and good food! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40

Fantastic! The food was great, and Dewi was super kind and friendly to us, explaining the “lord of the rings” style map of Brecon Beacons, and recommending some hikes. We’d definitely go back

Good food awful service; young inexperienced staff looked scared stiff; no conversation; no idea of what they were serving or doing. sadly my bil paid as a birthday treat for me and my husband; won't be going there again, very expensive for what it was and felt very cheated with poor waiting staff and no adults at all advising or directing them; youngsters in scrufffy dirty clothes and long hair being flicked everywhere !!! makes my tummy go over when ever i think of it Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50

I can 't express how disappointed I was. I really looked forward to a new place to eat out in Brecon. We started with an apology when the pleasant and friendly young waiter only had 3 menus for our able of 4 diners. This was followed by plenty more apologies when we discovered a number of dishes were off the menu.... a promising sign I thought, if they have been that busy. This was followed with yet more apologies when my partner tried to buy beer only to discover a number of these out of stock too. After our order was placed, we had an hour and a half to enjoy our drinks before any sign of food. The young waiter did return to apologise for the wait after an hour. I had plenty to drink as it happens, my gin and lemonade (served in a milk shake glass, at my request, as I 'm too clumsy for stemmed glasses) was filled to the brim, sadly no ice and slice to be seen here, they don 't have this either. Food when it arrived was a great disappointment for my friends. My pizza was just fine. But the slow cooked buffalo was was quite tough and dry considering it was slow cooked, no sign of the creamy mash mentioned on the menu, the only accompaniment was 2 rounds of saute potato, half a parsnip and a slice of carrot. The lamb shank was similarly served with a noticeable lack of vegetables. This for £20/head. When our table was later cleared, no pleasantries were proferred like did you enjoy your meal? We weren 't even offered the dessert menu. You might think the staff young and poorly trained, yet there was a middle aged waitress behind the bar, that was seen to leave the safety of that haven from time to time. Her attention being occupied almost entirely by the man that propped up their bar for our entire 2 hour stay and her mobile phone. Needless to say we won 't return.
