The Feathers Royal - Ceredigion

I would advise against dining at this restaurant. The staff were unhelpful and rude, the food was cold, overpriced, and terrible quality. The service was slow, with some dishes undercooked and others served cold. The drink prices were excessively high, and the atmosphere was one of the worst I have ever encountered.

I recently attended an event at this restaurant and the food, which was a carvery, was excellent. The drink choices were a bit limited, but the service was friendly.

Myself and 3 family members enjoyed a quiet evening meal here. Fried battered fish was a little dark. Oil probably at too high a temperature. Chicken dish was beautiful both in presentation and taste. Sirloin steak, cooked rare was very tough. Mixed grill was good value and tasty.

Can't beat this place fantastic fresh food, fantastic service, friendly staff loved the Dudley lady Who looked after us on all our visits .sit in comfort in the lounge prices are the same as other eating places, book a table in advance as it gets fully booked

This hotel is supposed to be a 5-star establishment, but the service is far from acceptable. There is a noticeable lack of staff throughout the day - no one is at reception, the bar, or the restaurant. We checked in during the afternoon and inquired about dinner reservations, only to be told that booking was unnecessary as long as we arrived between 6 and 9pm. However, when we returned to the hotel just before 9.00, we found only two other diners in the restaurant and were informed by the bartender that the chef had already finished preparing food for the day. Despite it still being before 9.00, the chef refused to make us any kind of meal, not even a simple plate of cold cuts or sandwiches. When we asked for alternative dining options, we received no helpful suggestions from the unhelpful bartender. We ended up walking around Aberaeron on a chilly Friday night, only to discover that most restaurants and even the fish and chip shop had already closed. We were left cold, hungry, and utterly disappointed. Our supposed relaxing getaway turned out to be anything but.
