Red Lion - Llanidloes

Had lunch here on a Monday en route back to the Midlands... wasn't much open in Llanidloes to be honest. Anyway....the Red Lion. A bit of dark faded grandeur inside, complete with battered Chesterfields. Nothing wrong with the tuna sandwiches, however, the service was reminiscent of Fawlty Towers. There were hardly any diners, yet the delay on food was surprisingly long. One couple were on the verge of walking out following a hours wait. The staff were flapping around trying keep things in order and seemed to be in need of some managerial direction. Apparently, there was an issue with a lack of kitchen personnel, this being the reason for the sluggish service. In this instance, might have been better closing the kitchen, guys.
