The Drovers Cafe & Restaurant — Restaurant in Wales

I visited this place yesterday, I think I may live in a parallel universe. OK the people were friendly it's quaint but the menu is Dull with a capital D. I didn't eat despite being hungry as the menu is probably the most unimaginative 1980s fare with probably the most exciting thing being a 'special' bacon brie and cranberry toasty. The cakes are not home made either. Oh and a baked potato for £6...

Really who gets up in the morning says ooh I'm going to open a cafe where it will serve the world's dullest menu? Please visit the likes of Ellen's at 139 @ Llandeilo for an idea of what imagination looks like. Its not perfect but at least they make an effort.

I am being generous with 3 stars but...

What a find! We called in wanting a breakfast on the start of our journey home after spending a week in the surrounding area. A beautiful old building, open fire, and a genuinely warm and friendly welcome from all the staff - despite my husband wearing an England rugby shirt! We both had the Drover's Breakfast - a huge delicious plateful and excellent value for money (and extra thanks for making mine gluten free - most appreciated). Great coffee too. The menu is filled with homemade delights of classic dishes and specials, to proper puddings, and cakes. There's something for everyone. Wish we'd found you earlier...

REVIEW: The Drovers Cafe & Restaurant, High Street, Builth Wells Nice establishment in a building with history. Very friendly and polite staff, plus a courtyard area. I had scrambled egg on toast with a mug of tea. The toast was nice made from seeded bread and the egg was.scrambled well, not too dry or wet. Nice cuppa too. Can't fault the price or service. Out of 10 it gets a 9 (table was a bit wobbly, but other than that no issues) My friend had a coffee, but think a bird flying overhead may have deposited a little something 🤔 There was also a dog at The Drovers, friendly thing, same goes for...
