Lychgate Cottage Tearoom & Deli, Berriew

One reviewer wrote: "Small but cosy, lovely food and good size portions. Friendly staff."

Another wrote: "Lovely little place, friendly staff and great selection."

A third wrote: "Super little tearoom and deli and I'd recommend a visit. We stopped here for lunch on a recent Saturday and loved it. The cakes and pastries available looked really good.

"It's a tiny little tearoom that can seat 14 so be prepared to share a table and booking a reservation is recommended.

"The staff are friendly and helpful - even going the extra mile to find out and let me know the name of a delicious cheese that was part of lunchtime my ploughman's.

"If we're in that part of Wales again we'll definitely return - but will be sure to book a table."

"I sampled the home made Bara brith cake and the wife the home made lemon drizzle both were excellent, as was the coffee and the service.
