Rhydspence

My husband and I booked Sunday Lunch 2 weeks ago £19. Starter extra. Our starter came with CRUSTS to accompany the Feta & Butternut Squash dip, instead of sour dough bread. The Sunday Lunch was COLD & SMALL POTIONS, 1 carrot 1 parsnip 3 small roast potatoes & paper thin beef. red & green cabbage served together in the same tureen, so the red cabbage run into the green!! My husband does not like red cabbage & so his meal was spoilt! We will not return for food! But the setting & staff are lovely..

An amazing gem of a pub. Craig and his team made us feel very welcome and the service was impeccable. Very comfortable room in the historic building. Food was outstanding for both dinner and breakfast - definitely notches above usual pub grub - and all delicious. The roaring cosy fire was an added bonus. Well located for exploring the local area. Looking forward to going back in the future.

We stayed here for a night after spending the day in Hay-on-Wye. We were in room 1 with the four poster bed and we were in the oldest part, which dates back to the 1300s. Staff were so welcoming and we were the only guests staying there but it was completely unintentional that we booked the day before they were going to close it for some work. It was very busy in the evening as locals were having their dinners so glad we booked a table! The food was perfect, breakfast included and I highly recommend the tiramisu! Being someone who is obsessed with historic buildings and enjoys photography, I politely asked if it was ok to take some shots on my drone but sadly it began chucking it down the next morning so I didn’t manage to get as many photos as I wanted so we definitely have an excuse to come back but we want to come back regardless! Huge thanks to Craig and Freddy for making us feel so welcome in such a lovely, homely atmosphere.
