Old Rectory - Powys

We were staying locally and had seen this restaurant on tripadvisor so decided to try it. It was very local to where we were staying so we called in one afternoon and booked a table for that evening. When we arrived we were shown into a very nice dining room which was empty and remained empty except for the two of us during the evening which was a pity as it was a big room and therefore had no atmosphere. The food however was excellent and the portions catered for good appetites. The staff were very kind and welcoming and although we were the only two in the restaurant they were very attentive. When we went to pay we could see that there were people eating in the bar and in retrospect, had we known, it perhaps would have been a more relaxed atmosphere there however we were there for the food and the food had been excellent. If we were to go back we would ask to be served in the bar if there was no-one else in the restaurant.

Took family out for a special meal booked a week in advance. Turned up to be told there was a 15 head party ahead of us who had pre-booked, waited over an hour for very expensive and undercooked lamb that we could hardly see as the room was so dark. One mortgage later and the bill was paid, £5 plus for each drink of lager shandy, sorry but we really felt let down, especially when we advised chef that meat was undercooked, to be told well one (lamb) was well done but no one could identify which that was !! Poor attitude of staff and lack of atmosphere altogether. Really not worth the £228 bill....!!!!

This was our first stop for food on our honeymoon boat ride. Food was lovely and the staff so friendly. Would recommend for food, also dog friendly.

We ate here recently in the sunshine and enjoyed the view from the outside terrace. I have to say the mushroom risotto was as good as any I’ve had in an Italian restaurant, well done to the kitchen. I really enjoyed it. Hope to revisit soon

Staying away had the lamb shank absolutely delicious very generous portions which I couldn't finish fantastic value and friendly staff would eat here again
