The Powys gastropub with one of the best Sunday roasts in the UK
The Three Horseshoes Inn, on its website, describes itself as a "high quality" gastropub that offers redefined pub food using only the finest ingredients.
When it came to the Groesffordd gastropub's roast, founder of the Standard Inn in Cornwall, Simon Stallard, described it as "incredible.
Mr Stallard said: "For me, Sundays are about slowing down and taking time.
“After a cold, wet walk with the dog I want an open fire, solid pint of beer and a great lunch, which I find at this pub. The roast here is incredible.”
Visitors on Tripadvisor seemed to agree with The Three Horseshoes Inn boasting a 4.5 rating from 1743 reviews.
One reviewer described the gastropub as a "hidden gem" and its Sunday roast as the best they'd had in decade.
The review read: "Amazing!! We were away for Xmas and decided to do Sunday lunch, which neither myself or my partner (who is an exec chef) were excited about.
"I cannot remember the last time I had a roast dinner out that I was impressed by- this is it!
