What a delicious curry! Beautiful home cooked food. Excellent portion size and lovely friendly service. So happy to find this veggie kitchen in the centre of Hay-on-Wye. This kitchen makes one veggie meal a day, so great if you struggle with making choices! Gutted we found this on the last day of our holiday. I’ve seen the queue and now I know why! I will definitely be back. If the weather’s bad u can also eat inside.

Had a great takeaway of lamb koftas, flatbreads, falafels and various delicious dips on one of their occasional Moroccan nights. They say the are planning more themed evenings which I will definitely look out for. Great food and great value.

Three Tuns

Broad St, Hay-on-Wye, Hereford

The Three Tuns delivered one of the best Sunday roasts we’ve had in a long time. Everything on the plate was cooked beautifully! Lovely tender meat, perfectly crisp roasties, rich gravy, and all the trimmings done exactly right. It’s the kind of meal that feels both comforting and properly crafted.

A special shout‑out to Sophie, who was absolutely fantastic. Her customer service was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She struck that perfect balance of being friendly without ever feeling intrusive, and she made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming.

If you’re looking for a Sunday roast that hits the mark in both flavour and atmosphere, The Three Tuns is well worth the visit. A brilliant meal and even better service.

We had the hot honey chicken and I cried a bit because it is that good. The service was exceptional and the tapas tastes so authentic it leaves you wanting more; we were transported into Spain with every bite. The portions were perfectly sized to feel full, with two dishes each, and very affordable. Very inclusive of dietary requirements such as gluten free and allergies. Highly recommend.

Although we didn't stay here, we had the pleasure of spending the last two evenings in this lovely pub which has a friendly atmosphere to match the great food and fabulous local cask ales. James and his staff are great hosts and work very hard to make your visit special, everything you want when visiting Hay. Pay them a visit, you'll not be disappointed.

I randomly came across this place on a hiking trail. Saw the colourful sofas, the fairy lights and the lush smell of an open fire so wandered in to see what is was all about and ended up booking in for one of their ‘wild feasts’ that evening for me and a mate.

I loved it! We had pulled lamb burgers fries and banana cake fritters with ice cream. Amazing quality it tasted delicious. The service was soooo friendly. Fully stocked bar, welcoming friendly atmosphere. £20 for 2 courses so really good value.

The place is so unique all around a South African theme. The views are amazing it is such an oasis.

It’s a wedding venue plus restaurant on Monday, weds and Sunday lunch. You need to book online 24 hours before

Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food - beautifully cooked and great quality. We had the Welsh breakfast and a veggie breakfast, both were excellent. There were lots of interesting looking things on the menu, good range of vegetarian options as well.

Very dog friendly - they even brought a sheepskin over for our dog to lie on, and she enjoyed a fuss from the staff too!

Had breakfast here twice during a stay near Hay despite having seen some less than favourable reviews. Was far better than other breakfasts that we had during our stay. The service was efficient, staff were friendly and the food was great. Portions were huge and everything was well cooked and served on a hot plate. Really couldn't fault anything.

Lovely cafe with good food. They have a ceiling fan which was much appreciated, however because it’s hung right by the lights, it created a flickering effect which wasn’t nice. It made us feel like we had a flashing migraine. The staff were friendly and the food was made fresh.
