Our
Comments: Restaurant and pub. They do not have any
specifically vegan dishes on the menu but are happy to
adapt the dishes they do have.
They grow a lot of their own vegetables and vegan dishes
will tend to be based around this. Here are examples of
what they might provide.
Starters: Heirloom tomato & onion salad or Green leaf
salad with a walnut vinaigrette.
Mains: Cous cous and Beetroot & a ragout of tomatoes
or a panache of baby vegetables with lemon or olive oil.
The soda bread is not vegan but usually they have sourdough bread which
is. Mention you are vegan when booking.
Location:
Between Brecon and Hay On
Wye on the A470. Detailed directions are on their website.

vegans. The chips are cooked
seperately from animal products. They stock 'Pure' spread
and vegan mayonnaise. Telephone ahead if possible but vegan meals are
available on demand. They provide vegan Sunday lunches.It is a
laid back place with an atmosphere like a friend's front
room. The landlord is a musician and there is live music
most nights. Borders Vegetarian and Vegan group (covers
Powys/Shropshire borders) meet here on the 2nd Friday of
every month for food and friendship.
