  Apparently the Britannia Inn has recently been refurbished. Perhaps it is under new management too? It now appears to be some sort of a wine bar, where one can order up to 160-pound bottles of wine with some simple food. Anyway, we passed through Crickhowell during our holidays and happened to visit the Inn for having dinner. This was a bad experience. The food turned out to be rather average. The pizza had a premade bottom, the fishcakes probably came straight from a package in the freezer. Given the mediocre quality of the food, it was on the pricey side. Worse was that at payment I was tricked into paying a larger tip than intended (making use of my inexperience with the UK coins). I assume the barman (the owner?) thought he could afford this, given that as passing tourists we'd probably not visit again anyway. Overall, this is a rather pretentious place offering expensive wines with average but overpriced food and bad service (screwing over customers when possible). I'm sure this is a great business model given the large margins that can be made on the wines, but one that leaves me with a bad taste.
