Howards Restaurant in Powys

Went on a Sunday for a coffee and cake, both were very nice. Both the lady at the till and the lady serving the tables were very friendly, even on a rainy Sunday morning. I think the bad reviews are just a bit exaggerate...

Last Sunday we experienced the worst Sunday lunches ever. These were the single most appalling excuses for a roast dinner we have ever seen or tasted. We really should have taken them back but were travelling and had to eat. The photos will show a chicken breast, boiled I think accompanied by frozen beans, boiled potatoes, cabbage and carrots. There were a couple of potatoes pretending to be roasties and not succeeding. To be absolutely fair the boiled potatoes and stuffing were acceptable but look at the water on the plate that is supposed to be gravy! Awful!To add insult to injury, as well as this terrible meal you have to sit in a gale force wind which gets worse every time the automatic doors open. There is no escape, we tried three different tables and the wind was everywhere.This place is not fit to eat in comfort and the Sunday lunch is not fit for sale. I will never eat here again and if this is how Coed Y Dinas treats customers I wonder if I will bother shopping here at all in future.

Really love coming here for lunch after looking around the store.Wonderful friendly staff and delicious food.You sometimes have to wait to get served at the counter, usually because its so busy, we've seen it full on a few visits, the staff work as quick as can and it's always worth the wait.

Excellent food and service, nice surroundings

Yes there were delays during Covid. Even so the breakfasts are really very good. Lovely Bacon and tasty sausages. In fact heading back there now for another Breakfast.

Should do toasties like they used to, limited food choice, dont do food past 2.15 and staff arent the nicest.

I can respect long waits during busy periods but there looked to be plenty of staff on hand.This is my second time in a row where I've had issues with overcharging.! Look at the receipt before you pay. !There were only 2 adults yet 3 main meals were added on the bill. Thankfully I got refunded swiftly however it was a 40 minute wait for the food with an increasingly agitated 2 year old

Very disappointing. Limited menu. Jacket potato was very over-cooked, poor presentation, hot chocolate was tepid. Won't be returning!
