The Rorkes Drift — Restaurant in Wales

Tucked away in the town of Brecon, I wasn't expecting much. But credit where it's due I was pleasantly surprised.

Exterior image is a stereotypical "squaddie set" pub. However the inside was a small and compact mix of sports bar and booth bar.

Bar was front and centre to the doors with a large screen one side and booth style seating left with other views of TVs about. Clean and tidy everywhere.

Bar staff where great and the ladies behind the bar looked ready to party and always smiling which made a change from the usual "poor a pint and be grumpy" persona most bars have now. And to be fair the lady in the split thigh skirt was busy, proactive and very pretty.

Two stars as the place was clean enough, the prices were okay and the bar staff member was very friendly. I guess it may come into its own on a Friday night but it was a let down for what we...

Very clean and tidy was passing through I was shocked they serve you a 25ml baileys that should be 50ml yet the guy said that's how they sell them, maybe the manager should reevaluate their knowledge of the licencing laws. I was even more shocked by the price of the crisps 25g pack for £1.40 a pack I couldn't believe the price considering a big bag are usually £1 in other pubs.. Clearly didn't read the label of do not sell multipack as a single seems like a moan but its not when the...
