The Kestrel Inn

Looking forward to this.

The first stop will be The Loire, famed for its beautiful Chateaux, sparkling cremant, shellfish and crisp white wines. Cabernet franc reds from Chinon are sipped with pork dishes and rillettes. Not to forget the unctuous sweet gems from the Coteau du Layon, Bonnezeau and Vouvray which pair beautifully with the’ king of puddings’ Tarte Tatin.
The first leg will be on Thursday 7 th March at 7pm with a wine and cheese tasting involving: ... Cremant de Loire, Muscadet Sevre et Maine-sur lie, Sancerre, Chinon red and a Layon, alongside cheeses from Cœur de Berry, St Maure de Touraine, Selles sur cher and Crottin de Chavignol. The kitchen will also be making a traditional ‘Le Mans’ rillette for the occasion, with some crusty baguettes from The Angel bakery.

Weekend away with the Husbter for our anniversary. Hospitality is second to none, Richard is a superb host and the food is stunning. Will definitely stay again.

We visted the Kestral in by chance one evening as we were driving through. I must say what a fantastic location with the fire warming the room with a great atmosphere and warm welcoming service. The food was as good as its sounds prepared lovingly and very well presented i would highly recommend this venue to anyone who likes good food in a relaxed enviroment. 10/10 guys keep up the great work. Will definitley be visiting again soon

We had a fabulous comfy night at the kestrel, great bed! Lovely meal again too, Sunday roast this time. I had the lamb and my husband had beef, both delicious.

We will be back again soon for another test of the menu .... Wonderful

Used to come when I was younger with all the family! So glad it's reopened, had the Sunday lunch menu, amazing flavoursome home cooked food! We will be back and we Will spread the word!

Spotted Inn while travelling home from Brecon Show. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent food. Would highly recommend a visit.

Richard extended a warm welcome at the Kestrel Inn. After a delicious steak and blue cheese sandwich lunch I was made probably the best coffee I've had in many months.



Ample parking a lovely newly renovated rooms too.



A gem.

Not just great food, The Kestrel offer amazing food. All home cooked & food sourced locally. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for. Would definitely recommend this lovely pub. Great atmosphere with log burner. Even the mulled wine was the best I've ever had.

My fiance and I stopped here yesterday on the off chance that we could get some lunch and I am so glad we did! What a fantastic place. The views are incredible, the decor was gorgeous, the host was absolutely lovely and most importantly, the food was out of this world. The burger with triple cooked chips was amazing and the sticky toffee pudding actually left me speechless! Incredible chef. We are already planning our next visit! Nothing but praise for this lovely place 👍👍

Lovely to see The Kestrel open again as this was always our favourite place to eat. Visited for lunch today and the food was superb. We were given a very warm welcome by the new owners. Will definitely be coming back as this is a little gem of a gastro pub.

Lovely food, good wine selection and great welcome and service in delightful surroundings. Thank you

Just passing on our way to Brecon and saw the Kestrel. Good looking place from the outside and nice and comfortable inside too. Dog friendly bar and a great Sunday lunch, together with a nice ale and a good choice of wines, all served by a great landlord and his family. Their own-blend coffee is well worth a mention too.

I remember coming here as a child and was happy to hear it had reopened. Went for lunch and was really impressed amazing food and the best ice cream I've ever had. Lovely inside and fantastic views outside everyone should make a trip here

I booked a table last night for my belated birthday meal. There were six of us 'girls' and we were made to feel very welcome, a lovely cosy pub, I hadn't been to the Kestrel for years and was pleased to see it looking so fresh and tastefully decorated. The food was delicious and well presented, reasonably priced and good value for money. We will be back and I will certainly tell all my friends that the Kestrel Inn is back on the map.

Had such a great night last night with my family at The Kesterl Inn. A lovely little pub with great atmosphere, tasty food, nice wine and delicious desserts . Will be back again very soon for sure.

Had an amazing 3 course Valentines meal tonight. Couldn’t fault a thing. I highly recommend it. Atmosphere, service & food were all 5 star.

Had a lovely evening this evening here for my partner Sarah’s birthday. Lovely place, amazing food, owner and staff really friendly too. Definitely recommend it

Decided to go to The Kestrel for Sunday Lunch been meaning to go for ages and really wish we had made the effort before . From the moment we stepped through the door the feeling of homely hospitality and friendliness was evident . We had the 3 courses and from the very first mouthful to the last was absolutely delicious. We definitely will be making it a regular when we are down . Thank you for the delightful experience. X

Called in the Kestrel had not been there for years, looks really nice a lot of work has been done, well worth it. Had a very nice meal food very good plenty of choice. The young lady who served us was really nice. Will definitely go back

Absolutely amazing food never been before and will definitely return the quality of the food was on point a lovely traditional pub �
