"We went to celebrate a family birthday, so we obviously took our own atmosphere! The food was excellent, and the staff was attentive but not in your face. Took our own birthday cake, which was discussed beforehand, and they provided plates and utensils. Within the group, we had a coeliac and another with food allergies, so it was not the easiest group to cater for, all done with no fuss, and everyone enjoyed their food! Couldn't have been more pleased with our visit. All of us said we'd definitely go again! Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"I don't plan on returning to this restaurant. I stopped by earlier this morning and ordered a cup of tea and a prawn salad. However, after the first few prawns, I had doubts about their freshness. I decided to continue eating the salad, but as I had a few more prawns, their chewy texture and bad aftertaste made me realize they were not up to my expectations. (I still have that aftertaste) I finished the rest of the food without causing a fuss. When my plate was cleared, I discreetly mentioned the issue to the lady, but she quickly brushed it off by insisting that they were freshly prepared that morning. I expressed my concern again, but received the same response. I waited for about 10 minutes for a manager to address my issue, but no one came, so I proceeded to pay. I reiterated my concern to the lady at the till, but once again, I was told the prawns were freshly prepared that morning. I explained that just because something was prepared that day, doesn't guarantee freshness, especially with fish. I also mentioned that I eat prawns regularly and wouldn't have left them if they were okay. Still, the manager was not called over. I paid and left, being told to 'have a nice day'. My concern was not raised to a manager as far as I know. I realize I should have insisted on speaking with a manager, but if the staff are not willing to escalate issues themselves, there seems to be a management problem. Constructive feedback is important for businesses to thrive. I don't want to create any problems, and I am not one to speak poorly of a decent business. However, the prawns tasted off, and my comments were not taken seriously when I brought them up."

"The kings has always been a popular place for our family with tasty food, so we were looking forward to going back after lockdown. It’s a nice dining room and the staff were helpful but the waitress completely mixed up the order and didn’t seem to know how to deal with it when we pointed out the error. We ended up swapping parts of food between us to get it right. The vegetable crumble tasted like a few veggies in a packet cheese sauce. Another member had a very salty gammon and the steak pie was full of grissle. Menus were hand written on bits of paper which seemed a bit unprofessional. Overall OK but not likely to return."

"After me and my partner made 4 random stops here for lunch we knew that the food was good and the staff very friendly. With this track record it seemed the prefect venue for a celebratory lunch for 25 friends and 4 well behaved dogs. It was easy to plan the menu choices and availability by email and I just provided 90% of the menu choices 2 days in advance. On the day car parking was easy and friends travelling by train or staying overnight in Welshpool were able to stroll up through the town to The Raven Inn. Pre-lunch drinks in the bar satisfied every palate with tasty fresh coffee, a range of Real Ales, wines and soft drinks. Plenty of room to stand, sit and chat, a real fire log-burner and dog biscuits on the bar. With 25 of us we had a reserved dining area in the old part of the building and shortly after I had seated everyone, the starters began to be brought to the tables. Eight different starters satisfied the diners with their engaging presentation and satisfying taste. Then the main courses arrived with the personalise steaks, sausages relished by our Swiss friends, Braised Faggots from the butchers in Welshpool, fish and curries. Particular praise was from the lucky diners who had chosen the pan-fried duck breast, what large ducks they must have been! With the bar handy on two side it was easy to keep hydrated and help wash down the wonderful food. The finale was the appearance of the desserts, brilliant like finely costumed dancers with the Amaretto Creme Brulee and the Dacqouise looking as spectacular as they tasted. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we really felt carefree and cared for. Congratulations to all the front of house staff and the wizards in the kitchen who were the creative powerhouse. The dogs particularly enjoyed the walk along the river bank that ran from the Raven bridge upstream through the fields across from the railway."
