"Scene setting: We're English and went for dinner at the Farmers Arms, just as England were playing Wales at Rugby. The place was heaving with locals watching the rugby all sporting their Welsh rugby tops brilliant atmosphere. We sat in the restaurant area (just us, as everyone else was watching the rugby we were too scared to join them ; and the team lit the open fire for us which was very much appreciated. Drinks came very quickly, along with menus. The beers were brilliant highly recommend the Reverend James. We ordered food and didn't have to wait too long for our starters to arrive. OH had leek and potato soup. He said it was very tasty and the portion size was incredibly good. I had the Thai fish cakes with home made sweet chilli sauce both of these were just wonderful. We both had the sirloin steak fabulously cooked and very tasty. England then won the rugby! At this point we feared for our lives (and we were utterly relived that the food had arrived before the end of play ; . It was also at this point that the lovely young waiter showed us the side door, just in case we needed a swift exit strategy! After the majority of locals had left (to go and have a cry about losing to the English , the manger came over for a chat. What a thoroughly lovely man. All of the staff were just wonderful. Great beer, food, service and very good value for money. Highly recommend. (I don't follow sport. I love Wales and the Welsh people all of this is meant very much tongue in cheek xx"

I had a wonderful Sunday lunch at this restaurant. They were able to accommodate my gluten-free needs and even had a delicious chocolate brownie for dessert. They are also dog-friendly, so I will definitely be returning when I am in the area again. View menu

This pub is very friendly and welcoming. We were looking for a quick meal on a long journey. We certainly were not disappointed. The food was of a great quality, cooked well and the staff could not be more helpful. The prices were very reasonable. We highly recommend this pub and will be returning again.

This is the forth Sunday lunch we have had since the pub reopened and we have had an excellent lunch every time. This time we went for Fathers Day and my fussy dad wasn’t disappointed. In his words the”beef melts in your mouth” and the apple crumble and custard “was absolutely delicious”. The standard of food, staff and atmosphere was excellent. The service from the staff was very, friendly and attentive. It’s about a 40 minute drive to the pub from where we live but well worth it. See you again soon.

On a random trip through Crickhowell, we fancied a Sunday lunch. Its was quite late in the day so our options were minimal in terms of booking last minute. But we found the Farmers Arms online for a 3.30pm, unbeknownst to us that they stopped serving food at 3pm and it shouldn't have taken our booking. When we arrived they explained this but put in every effort to ensure we enjoyed their Sunday dinner and that we definitely did! Great tasting pork, with all the trimmings that were incredibly seasoned. The staff are all extremely friendly and pleasant and ensured we were catered for during our meal. Highly recommended and great value for money! Don't just pass through. Make sure you stop here... View menu

The food at the restaurant was average and nothing special. It wasn't warm enough for my liking and the portions were quite small. We were disappointed to only receive one bowl of vegetables for four adults, and the vegan option was lacking in variety. Despite ordering in advance for the vegan member of our group, the meal was not satisfying. Additionally, the dessert options were limited and there was only one vegan option available without any accompanying cream or ice cream. Despite these issues, we were still charged full price. I also found it unreasonable that I was charged £8 for a small bowl of plain pasta for my two-year-old, who would not have eaten a full meal. I believe in leavin...

Highly recommend this gem of a pub for Sunday lunch. Our Family of four arrived at the The Farmers Arms after a long journey back from North Wales. The meals were absolutely amazing! Both Adult and Children’s sized portions area available. Beef, Pork or Lamb or a nut roast were on the menu. Prices were clearly shown for one, two or three courses. We decided on beef and pork the meals were fantastic, served piping hot, the meat melted in your mouth, potatoes were tasty as was the gravy (extra gravy was served in a boat) vegetables broccoli, peas, carrots and cauliflower cheese were brought in serving dishes to help yourself all piping hot and cooked to perfection. The staff serving were very...
