What a lovely place ❤️ From the friendly, kind, sympathetic reception (horrendous journey up from Truro! ) to the FANTASTIC FOOD (Arancini balls to die for ❤️) to the wonderful jazz night, if your a jazz fan the relaxed atmosphere, and friendliness of the band with the diners was fab! Will be back at some point in the future.

The Bean Box

The Bridge, 4 Bridge St, Hay-on-Wye, Hereford

Tucked away below street level on the river bank this little Cafe is trying hard to stand out from the predictability of obvious places more or less traditional.I visited after a rainy spell so the outdoor area was a bit washed out and yet I managed to have my breakfast sitting under an apple tree, oat latte and vegan pastries and rolls.The highlight of my morning was a "cruffin" , a sumptuous hybrid chou pastry creation: a vertical croissant turning into a muffin with icing sugar and a melted chocolate centre, one of the best things I ate in 2023 so far!If you would like to try it - and so you should - head to the Bean Box on Saturday mornings, the earlier the better.Besides the cruffin and almond croissant there are several cake slices and a surprisingly good selection of hot drinks for such a small place ☕I dare say that most of the customers are local and there are enough seats to enjoy a peaceful coffee and read a book surrounded by the green arms of Mother Nature.Must be a hit in the Summer or on sunny days but even in November was a great find!

Appeared on a day out from work to hay on wye, drawn in by the smell of bacon and the sausage and bacon breakfast panini did not disappoint, owner was kind enough to double check butter and sauces in the sandwich adding that extra care to detail and anyone's dietary requirements.

This was a very unique and enjoyable evening, filled with excellent food and good company. The food was very tasty and of gourmet standard, with plenty to fill even the largest of appetites. The setting was magical , like a romantic medieval banquet. Candle lit and rustic. There's not many restaurants where you can converse with the chef whilst he cooks in front of you. Thank you Hugh for a very special evening.

We stumbled upon this place after we’d already eaten but it smelled so good we shared the falafel and halloumi plate. The food is incredible, both owners are so lovely and we were given a really in depth explanation of the tea which was the best I’ve ever had!If you’re even just popping through it’s a fantastic experience and has made our day

Beautiful settings, decor and menu. My partner and I really became fans after our first visit last month. Would love to come back with a group and use the bar area and gorgeous back room with the long table!Dietary restrictions: A few gluten free options, including the steak of course which was beautifully plated with other tasty bits, plus the beef dripping chips ? . Our server took it seriously and made sure to check with the chef.

We had dinner or Friday night - service was great and overall experience very good. We had linguini and pizza, a bottle of red and mixed olives to start. Interesting local produce/ingredients on the menu.Everything tasty (although missing something - couldn’t quite put our finger on what exactly), and the service was prompt and hospitable.The space has some lovely nooks and crannies, and a jolly fire on the pub side. Will be glad to go back.Vegetarian options: Veggie options available, and most dishes customisable.

Forest Rd, Hay-on-Wye, Hereford

I've just recently organised a training camp in Hay on Wye for a week. Unfortunately, we had a few bike issues, however, Drovers were unbelievably brilliant. Luke, and his team were amazing - from minor repairs to replacing Di2 cables on a fully integrated cable bike to hiring a bike while one was repaired. I simply can't say enough good things about Drovers -- they went above and beyond. They were so good I'd rate them as the best bike shop I've ever been in. Entirely grateful - we'll see you next year - Ric?

Trying out different cafes. The cafe was very pleasant and inviting, clean and tidy. The service was excellent. We sat upstairs. Many pictures of actors and actresses which were very nice to look at. We had a coffee each and my husband chose a piece of cake. He said the cake was on the stale side and didn't think the coffee was very nice. I always have decaf and didn't think it was too bade - I've certainly tssted worse.

One of the best places, locally for fish and chips, regularly stop there on Friday evenings on the way from Aberystwyth. Usually very quick to have it all ready when we walk in, especially the mozzarella sticks. Always very friendly.

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.
