Walnut Tree Cafe Bar in Powys

It's such a shame because this is such a lovely spot, but each of the 3 times we've visited here we've had really long waits on our food. This time it was a Monday morning and relatively quiet, and it took 50+ mins for our 4 breakfasts to be served. On top of that, 2 of the breakfasts weren't correct, but by that point we didn't want to have to wait to get it fixed. Also, the knowledge on allergens isn't great, and staff on each occasion seem to confuse what is and isn't dairy-free etc. Even details like glasses not properly cleaned.I really didn't want to leave a negative review as the staff are friendly, but we gave it 3 chances and improvement is really needed. We won't be visiting again.

Moored our canal boat 2 minutes away and stopped for breakfast. Every member of staff here are happy, helpful and friendly. The outdoor marquee has heating, books and plenty of space. The full breakfast, muffins and drinks were delicious and our 12 year old commented it was the best breakfast ever! There was even a sausage for Rosie dog. Perfect spot to see the Usk and uneven footpaths can take the very able down to the riverside. We took photos from the bridge. We will definitely come back. Thank you all for such a welcome.

Nice little place. The girl was on her own so service was a little slow, but it wasn't a problem. The food was good and worth the price. A good experience.

What a find! Superb lunch in a lovely, river and woodland view setting. Al fresco with the accompaniment of a varied chorus of birdsong. I've never come across chicken, bacon and mushroom madras before. Gorgeous. The poppadoms were the lightest and crispiest I've ever had. Fish and chips looked fine, with the crisp batter a rich golden colour. Scampi was similarly rich looking and plump. The homemade tartare sauce was remarked upon as being really very good. Service was swift. The salted caramel ice cream cheesecake was a new and enjoyable experience, even though I'm not big cheesecake fan. Portion size was good in all instances. Menu had both standard fare and intriguing dishes worthy of further exploration. Pricing was good for the quality of the food. The only disappointment was that we didn't get a sight of the neighbouring nuthatch. Maybe next time.

Staff were so friendly giving water and treats to my dog. The food was also incredible the fish was the best I've tasted in years! Kudos to all the staff and owner I will definitely recommend and come back for more!

Found this hidden gem when looking for somewhere for full English breakfast, and they did not dissappoint! Probably one of the best hearty full English we have had in a long while; bacon was large and thick cut, mushrooms were soft and juicy, and they included a great slice of black pudding. As for the service, the staff were lovely and friendly, and we weren't left waiting for any long period of time; I believe it was the owner who also checked in on us when we were eating and when paying to check everything was to our liking. The only minor downside was the egg not being runny, but with everything else being delicious, and the service being great, then it is still a 5 star worthy cafe in our eyes. We have every intention to return when we next visit the area. Thank you.

The CRT staff at the locks told us about this place. We had cycled from Brecon and were looking for somewhere to eat. The food was very good and the service friendly and quick. We sat outside with an amazing view over the Usk to the hills beyond.

Great cafe, open all day, most days. Does great breakfasts of various sizes from quick sarnie to Full English and bigger again. Brunch and lunch options too, try the Chicken & Bacon Madras with half n half plus popadom, if you're hungry. Lasagne, Jacket potato and vegan shrubbery too. Plenty of cakes and cheese cake biscuits etc. Its licenced too so draught beers, bottles, cider and wine plus all the Tea and Coffee options to suit most. It's not cheap but good value, clean, homemade with table service in the marquee or al Fresco right by the lovely River Wye. Parking on site is limited to Blue Badge only.If you're a bit cold theres plenty of overhead and table heating, just ask.

Absolutely inspiring couple who have resilience worth listening to. Coffee and food superb. Walk along river from the cafe is beautiful

Stopped there on our way along the canal and had a lunchtime snack. Cheese sandwich and coleslaw, excellent fresh food. Adherence to Covid rules with new outdoor enclosure. Will definitely go there again, highly recommended.
