I came here on Boxing Day, fantastic atmosphere, it coincided with the David Davies Boxing Day Meet which was hosted here,
Fantastic fox hunt that gladly hasn’t got the lefties harassing it. And the meet was joyous. The pack was established by the first Lord Davies (then Mr. David Davies) in 1905, and hunted by him privately at his own expense and it continues like that to this day, only with Granddaughter Lady Eldrydd financing it now (the wedding business at Plas Dinam is thankfully keeping it alive). It’s rare nowadays to see a hunt like this and wonderful local businesses like this supporting it.
The food is traditional hearty fayre, the owners are real characters and that’s a plus. They don’t take any nonsense from haughty outsiders and that’s a massive plus for us. My partner and I had a great day. Great to see all the traditions.
So highly recommend any time of the year, but especially for Boxing Day if you fancy a bit of excitement. Great to see owners firmly support country side pursuits despite the deluge of negative pressure and tourists who...
Read moreAbsolutely fantastic couldn't recommend this little gem any higher. Dont let the slightly dated interior put you off. Its a cozy homely little place. The food was incredible. Lovely homely food, each and every one of our 7 plates, mains and deserts were wiped clean! The drink was all great too, the San Miguel drinkers said that it was the best they had tasted too so that's a thumbs up for nice fresh clean pipes too! Staff were friendly too. Book a table though as the restaurant only has a limited number of tables! There are no menus online however the menu has such a great selection, from fish and vegetarian dishes to lamb, beef, chicken and pork. The lamb curry was great as was the minted lamb stew. They offer your generic children's menu however they will also happily adapt a main off the menu for the more adventurous younger diner!...

Again the pub was spotlessly clean, the staff were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble for Jake, Charlotte and the chef (I didn't get the chef's name) and they were extremely efficient. The choice of ales was very good. Now to the food - what can I say - after checking the menu and the specials board (plenty of choice) I chose the lamb curry this time - wow - presentation was very good, taste was brilliant. The lamb just melted in the mouth - absolutely delicious. We live over 50 miles from Llanidloes but we will make a point of going to visit the Angel as often as possible. Highly recommended. Many thanks to all the staff. Keep up the...
