Love this place and wish we'd found it earlier in our stay in Brecon…read more Genuine pub, genuine people, genuinely funny landlord and landlady and two of the friendliest dogs I've ever met! Oh, and the beer and ale's not bad as well! We visited on a Saturday and had missed the Friday night live music, which we were gutted about because it sounded like a good night had been had by all. The barman was hilarious; he was sneaking a half a lager before his wife came back from walking the dogs. I put it to him that half a lager wouldn't hurt, to which he replied 'it's my fifth half and what the wife'll do to me if she finds out will definitely hurt'. Priceless. They had a guest beer on tap, though I've forgotten it's name. I do remember that it tasted great, though. If we're in Brecon again and fancying a wee tipple, we'll head straight for The Bull's Head and its warm welcome.

Nice atmosphere and set up. Good prices on food and drink…read more They have gluten free and vegetarian options marked clearly on the menu. Came in on a Monday and they were serving Burger Night which I got excited about. Ordered the all American burger and when it finally came it was completely burned... the bun was hard as a rock and a complete disappointment.. so I sent it back and waited another 20 minutes to get my food while my husband has obviously already finished his. He had the chicken breast that was not bad. My burger was burnt again so we got our money back and left. At least the drink was free with the burger...:(

At the end of a rainy day in and around Brecon, my friend and I were looking for a nice meal to end…read moreour weekend. Luckily, we were able to secure a table for a late seating. The castle was big and welcoming, a site for cold rain soaked eyes! The menu was very promising, but unfortunately due to a bit of miscommunication they got our order wrong! We both wanted the lamb shank, but were told only one portion was left- I changed to the pork belly, but somehow the waitress thought we both changed, and brought my friend the completely wrong dish! They were very apologetic, but I wasn't too impressed as they made it clear they thought it was our fault! The pork belly was tender and rich, crackling was good but slightly burned in a little spot. Served with adequate mash, and a slightly overdone pork filet cut, it made for an enjoyable but mediocre meal. Sauce was tasty though, with bits of apricot running through it. The dessert really saved the meal...salted caramel profiteroles. Served with decadent cream and a chocolate sauce, they were absolutely delicious! Overall, decent meal for good price, but make sure you book a table and have a back up menu selection!

I was here for a wedding and had a big 3 course meal and spent quite a bit of time in the gardens…read moreand the bar during my time there. Lovely grounds very scenic with the castle joined to it at the side. They did great food for the wedding with mushrooms for appetizers and a wonderful sunday roast for the main course. The dessert was also terrific. Very friendly And helpful staff and it has a cool location with lots of parks and things to see nearby. Id go again.
