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.

I don’t review normally but on this occasion I feel the need to do so , I went with one of my colleagues for dinner on Saturday the 24th Sept 2022 , from the moment we went in to the time we left we received the most amazing customer service from all the staff especially the Chef who came out to welcome us and gave his recommendations , such a friendly informative person looked after all of our needs even shared with us a dish he had been perfecting which was an English classic with an Italian twist and it was the best sausage roll I have had , on to the main I had the slow cooked buffalo which was a beautiful piece of meat and desert was profiteroles again quite possibly the best I’ve ever tasted , so I just wanted to thank you for a real good evening superb customer service and quality food Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40

Lovely place in the middle of Brecon, service was very friendly and the meals were well portioned and tasted great. The quality of the food is of a high standard. The duck was a well prepared sous vide dish with well a well flavoured jus. Signs of a a very good quality chef. Will be returning Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40
