The Felin Fach Griffin

Very disappointed with portions and wine prices exorbitant, £45 for a bottle of Prossecco just silly. Have been coming here for years and though the quality of the food is excellent the price for the Ploughman's.....

Good quality of food. Staff very polite and professional. Service on time, location excellent. Only smudge is that instead a voluntary tip it was already put in the bill without asking. A tip is always a tip not part of the bill !!

A speculative phone call yielded: “Yes, we’ve just started offering breakfast to non-residents”. We booked immediately, expecting a treat and a treat it certainly proved to be. A warm welcome, friendly service and a flawless breakfast made for an ideal stop en-route to Pembrokeshire. View menu

We had been previously on a number of occasions, but had not been back for a while. Always slightly wary about returning after a bit of an absence, but very happy to report that we were not disappointed! Thoroughly enjoyed the lunch menu, excellent value. Highly recommended and will plan to be back again

The Felin Fach Griffin was a recommendation, and what an excellent choice. The service staff were super friendly and really helpful in providing information we asked for about the drinks and food. The ambience was lovely, and oh my goodness, the food was amazing!!! In every way a lovely experience! We would highly recommend to anyone staying anywhere near Brecon. We’ll be back!

The hotel we stayed in Builth for the Royal Welsh closed in December, and we found ourselves further away from the showgrounds. Felt fortunate to get a reservation since the reviews were all great. We arrived and were greeted and seated very quickly. The waitress explained the menu and gave us time to decide what to order. The entire meal was very tasty, but the appetizer was to die for! It was a smoked salmon, and is one of the best fish dishes I have ever enjoyed. The rest of the meal was very tasty, but I still have great memories about that salmon! Hope to come back again next year and enjoy the food. View menu

When you hear the words we have a new chef then you do not know what to expect. Sadly this was not a good omen. The ingredients were fine we mainly had Fish mains but the accompanying sauces and veg just did not work. Our starters were ok, but just ok. We selected 2 deserts , the old favourite Sticky Toffee Pudding has disappeared with the previous Chef, alas. The service was a little haphazard but the 2 v young lads did their best but are obviously not trained. The morning breakfast was Ok but the ground staff had the strimmer's out from about 9.30 so if the intention was to clear the restaurant they succeeded.

We stopped off here after a long walk in the morning so were absolutely famished. Luckily this great gastropub more than hit the spot. Our welcome was warm, in keeping with service that was throughout attentive and helpful. We chose starters and mains from a menu mixing familiar standards with some more interesting choices. For us that included heritage tomatoes and burrata, white crab salad and mussels all excellent and beautifully presented. We were in truth less adventurous with our mains, three of our party of four having chosen traditional fish and chips and one choosing pea risotto. The fish and chips was excellent, the fish well cooked (and not too much batter) and the chips obviously...

Decided we’d give this another go as last time we popped there, a few years back, the welcome wasn’t all that warm. Thankfully it looks like this place is now in better hands and we were very pleased with the reception. The Felin Fach Griffin is set in peaceful countryside but easily reached along the A470 between Brecon and Bronllys. It invites you in with its vividly vintage exterior. All staff were friendly and helpful. Choice of seats for a cosy drink or a dedicated eating area. Serves interesting artisan drinks and thoughtful bites. Dogs are welcome too. Stylish and spotless toilets; with delightful soaps for hand washing (it’s the small things). Plenty of parking. Only given a 4* for n... View menu
