Pilgrims - Powys

We stopped in for coffee and cake before visiting Brecon Cathedral. The staff was very friendly, with big smiles and helpful service. The cakes were delicious, especially the lime and courgette. It was a pleasant stop before exploring the interesting cathedral. We are glad we came here.

We had a pleasant walk and were excited for a nice lunch afterwards. Unfortunately, the waitress was unfriendly and not helpful. The quiche came with a small salad and two tiny half-cut potatoes. When we requested more salad and potatoes, we were charged an additional £3.50 for the potatoes and £3.95 for the salad, bringing the total to £18.55. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

My daughter brought me to this cafe for coffee. When I went to the counter to place my order, I was told abruptly that it was table service, even though the person in front of me had just placed an order. I went outside and eventually had to ask for service. The only gluten-free food available was cake, while my daughter ordered Welsh rarebit. Our drinks arrived, but after 20 minutes, I had to ask the waitress where the Welsh rarebit was. The service was lacking, but the young waitress was pleasant. A few suggestions for the cafe: have a sign clearly stating that table service is available, have notices for reserved tables, and offer more gluten-free options beyond cake. Hopefully, the new management will improve soon. This cafe has potential in its lovely setting, but it just needs better management during busy times.

Our second visit with a gap of 3 years . Again we sat outside in the grounds of Brecon cathedral, just perfect. Lovely menu , we enjoyed sandwiches and sparkling water , overlooking the flowers . Tad expensive, not what I would normally pay , but we just loved the surrounding. Very friendly staff

The tearooms are situated in the grounds of Brecon Cathedral and is a lovely place to stop for refreshments. We ordered coffee and tea and enjoyed freshly made welsh cakes, the best I have ever tasted! We recommend a stop here and wether you want a lunch or snack you will not be disappointed.
