Such a lovely pub! Staff were so friendly, food was delicious and the atmosphere was really welcoming. Our first time in Hay-on-wye and was looking for a bite to eat. Glad we came here.
Also their burger is quite possibly the most delicious burger I have had.
Breakfast at The Blue Boar is a very pleasant way to start the day. Cooked breakfast was excellent as were the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Very good service, recommended.
Had the best pie in my life here! We came here for 2 meals in a row and wish we knew how good the pub is earlier. Everything we ordered were so good!! Love it!

Enjoyed a quiet pint at the blue boar. I sit outside in the lovely beer garden. I went on a Friday and it wasn’t too busy. Nice place I would go back.
Fantastic food and good atmosphere. Didn't have to reserve but there were a few people in there (a Tuesday). Food felt freshly prepared. Bar tender was very polite. The pub is card payment only.
We came here for dinner, and received a warm greeting - order at the bar, so no table service. Not much of a selection of wines, but I was very happy with my Kiwi Sauvignon and husband very happy with a good beer selection. I did need a stiff drink, having seen the prices on the menu - £19 for a burger? We live within the M25 and this is more than we pay in London/Surrey! Having said that, it was an EXCELLENT burger and very good chips. Though really, would have been appropriately priced at £16. It seems you have to have deep pockets to visit Hay. Husband very happy with his halloumi and mushroom burger. I'd recommend this place as the food was good (what we saw of other diners also looked tasty) but you'll need to be prepared to for the sky high Hay prices.
Great pub, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Superb lunch of faultless pigeon breast salad, black pudding, roasted tomatoes, baby potatoes, fried bread and balsamic dressing. Perhaps the tastiest salad I've had in years. My partner relished his fish and chips. The generous piece of hake wrapped in a thin, crisp batter was cooked to perfection and accompanied by peas, chips and a zingy homemade tartar sauce. Yes, around £20 each might seem expensive, but we both agreed it was worth every penny!
We were a party of six...I believe 5/6 had the Fish (Hake) and Chips and was really good. Probably the best fish and chips we've had on the British Isles. Service was great and had 3 or 4 different servers come over and ensure we had everything we needed. Our BnB had recommended a different location but it was full (Sunday Lunch, no surprise) and glad it was as we might not have had such a great lunch.
Great food, fabulous atmosphere with friendly staff.
The Blue Boar is an adorable pub with incredible food. Not sure who the chef is, but they really know how to cook!
I got the Soup of the Day (which was a winter soup made from parsnips, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and more) and it was creamy and very tasty. It came with a freshly baked baguette that was hot and chewy inside and just slightly toasted on the outside. Loved it!
My two friends got the Cuban sandwich, which was INSANELY good. Tender pork and a generous smothering of Dijon, Swiss, and Mayo made the sandwich SO juicy and delicious. Great flavor and a hot toasted bun. We also got a side of very hot and crisp chips that we enjoyed.
The service was very friendly and fast, our food came out in ONLY 5 minutes!
Really recommend this pub. We went there not knowing what to expect (as we were visiting the town for the first time) and were very pleasantly surprised! Go to the Blue Boar!
Me and my wife went into the Blue Boar Inn for a drink on Sunday the 17th of September, it was about 4 pm, the two young gentlemen behind the bar were outstanding, polite, and excellent service. I hear a lot of criticism of the young people of today. They were a credit to the inn and their parents. Thank you to the both of you. Cheers Yorkshire Dan.
Amazing place. My husband and I popped in for lunch on our mini moon and had the most incredible food. The fire was lit and they played some lovely relaxing jazz music. We loved it so much we came back another day for a drink and a pudding. A lady named Scarlett working there was very welcoming both days we visited.
Nice and friendly staff, Had the lamb and was cooked perfectly and tasted gorgeous would definitely recommend a visit
We just walk-in today. But the foods really impressed us. My family did enjoyed the food especially the Lamb Cawl and the crusty bread.
Called in 'on spec' with a party of 5 + dog for an evening meal. They were more than happy to accomodate us. Great food, great ambience, great service, and the staff were so helpful and pleasant. It was a pleasure to visit and somewhere I'll visit again if in the area.
