"I’d been admiring The Whistling Badger from afar on social media, and was determined to visit on a recent trip to the UK. It’s a very pleasant spot in a very pleasant town, quite clean and tidy. I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings, not realizing that my burger came with fries. My wife got an order of fries as well, and between the two orders we had a massive amount of potatoes! They were quite good, and we managed to plow through most of them. My cheeseburger was very good, and generously built with two patties. I would have liked some mustard on it, but was told that the chef prefers not to have that condiment around as it is an allergen. It was still delicious. The star of my lunch was the onion rings, which were the best I’ve ever had! I’ve been a fan of onion rings for several decades, and don’t bestow this honor lightly. They were darker than the ones I usually see, but they were crisp and flavorful. Hearing a crunch when one bites into an onion ring is unusual, and the crunchy Badger rings are exceptional in mouthfeel and flavor. I’m going to have to figure out how to make them at home. To recap, the place is pleasant, the staff is helpful and efficient, and the food is quite agreeable. We made a special trip to try the place, and were not disappointed. I recommend it."

Very friendly pub bristling with locals, always a good sign. Burger night so menu limited but was presented well and tasted great.

Great beer and a quaint, small garden at the back next to a small carpark. Disappointed that we didn't get to eat there and wish when they told us they didn't do food on a Monday, they had said and not on a Tuesday either. Could have saved us a trip. Lovely friendly staff.

Great beer garden for the warmer months. Just been to a wake there on Wednesday for one of our closest friends. The food provided was quality. Ambiance was perfect for the occasion. What a great way to say goodbye to a near and dear friend. Lots of tears shed but the staff were perfect. Thanks and well done.

Staying in Llanidloes and decided to go to this pub for tea. Not dog friendly inside. Had a meal in the marquee at the back. Fish, chips and peas was my choice. The fish was clearly a supermarket, battered cod, which was cooked until very, very dark brown, almost burnt. My partner had tacos with the smallest amount of cheese. Most were left.
