The Boars Head, Brecon

Lovely pub, nice food. Pleasant bar staff. Beer garden is big and looks out over the river. Children welcome here so always a bonus.

The Crooked Inn, Alves

On arriving at the pub we were met by the land lady, very lovely. A gorgeous old pub. We looked at the menu, good choices although quite pricey. When the food arrived we were very disapointed. The fillet steak (�19.95 ordered med-rare) came out as a slither rather than a nice fillet and was very overdone, the steak pie (�9.95) was little more than tinned stewing steak slopped on the plate with a random shop bought puff pastry on the top. The childrens meal (�4.50) scampi was the cheapest scampi I have ever seen, especially cosidering the price. The home made chips were homemade but tasted like yesterdays food heated up. Had it not been for the nice land lady I would have sent all of this food back and left. I most of the food was untouched when we left. What a shame. I would consider a new Chef, the food sent out was a let down for the pub.
