Full vegan menu with prior notice.

3 course lunch £21,
3 course supper £28.50,
Sunday lunch 2 courses £20, 3 courses £24.50

Comments: Can devise vegan lunch or supper menus but ask that you inform them on booking. The soda bread they normally offer is not vegan but they can provide suitable sourdough bread with olive oil instead of butter. They will substitute olives for the non-suitable amuse bouche.
If you just turn up they can offer a vegan dish but prefer prior notice to provide a balanced, thought out and printed menu of about three choices for each course. The pub is very clued up on veganism and will research if the wines on offer are suitable for vegans. An example of a previous vegan menu offered is:
Starters: Soupe au pistou or garden tomatoes with red onion & rocket Salad, basil oil.
Mains: (served with panache of vegetables) Vialone Nano risotto with pea & mint or potato gnocchi with wild Mushrooms, broad beans, peas & thyme.
Desserts: Griffin fruit salad or a selection of homemade sorbets.

Location:
Felin Fach is just off the A470 to the north of Brecon.

Opening Times:
Thu-Sun open from 5pm

Number of Vegan dishes:

Price:
Pizza £5.50-£12

Comments: Many of the pizzas they sell can be suitable for vegans and they offer quite a few. Order a pizza without cheese, along with the suitable toppings desired. The pizza cutter, pizza peel and cutting bench are wiped clean prior to extracting the pizza from the oven and cutting it, so that no animal product can be inadvertently transferred to the pizza. This process and care has helped them build up a large vegetarian customer base, along with a few vegans and has been appreciated by members of religious groups for the same reason. Vegans are welcome to bring in their own choice of vegan cheese to be used on their pizzas, along with any toppings they don’t have. They have available a list of the ingredients of all their food products. Let them know you are vegan prior to preparation of your pizza. They have been aware of the requirements of the vegan diet and catered for vegans for nearly 35 years.

Location:
Church Lane is behind Brecon High Street.
