Black Lion Aberystwyth in Ceredigion

A great local pub. The owners are friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful Sunday lunch, very friendly staff, would definitely go back if I'm this way again..

Enjoyed the best roast dinner I've had in a long time. Lovely place. If I'm ever this way again I will definitely be back. The staff were welcoming and friendly.

Lovely place to sit and have a drink. The staff were very friendly and graciously helped me out when I had a question.

The Black Lion pub in Llanbadern, which is located just outside Aberystwyth, has won a 5 star rating from me. This pub offers a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly and funny staff and a wide choice of drinks and food. The menu includes traditional pub fare as well as more upscale options, all prepared with care and attention to detail. The establishment is clean and well maintained, with plenty of seating and a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit to the Black Lion to anyone in the area looking for a first class pub experience.

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere, we shall return! 🍺

Very good pub grub and excellent service 👍

We were there in July and enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was lovely. We stayed Friday, Saturday and Sunday and had food there 3 times so I don't understand the comment about the lack of food. We are going this weekend to meet family for brother in laws birthday.

Sunday carvery lovely with an attentive host. Just wish we lived nearer. Recommended.

We were here Aug 2023. Great selection of pump beers including Magners on draft. No food at all, just bar snacks. Great for sky sports

Confused as the reviews here are about the food, but when we went they said they don't do food. It was a weeknight - perhaps they do Sunday lunch?

I highly recommend the Black Lion in llanbadern. The establishment has earned a 5-star rating from me due to its exceptional service, delicious food, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you are in the area, I urge you to visit and experience it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Always a good welcome here and the beer is fine

Fantastic Pub! Highly Recommended!

Great cavery and realy frendly staff. Great pub.

Attended a funeral Wake at this hostelry. Buffet provided was exceptional. Great pint Convivial and friendly staff. Recommended.

Googled “carvery in Aberystwyth “ and the Black Lion was on the map - phoned and spoke to a helpful chap, booking for 3 made at short notice - we were very pleased and had great food ! Will go again !

Good traditional no frills pub. Great Sunday lunch & friendly staff. Football showing in the bar area what more can I say👍

Great staff, good food and excellent value. 2022, no food at the moment but still a wonderful place for a beer. New refurbishment only increases the pleasure! Food is back 2023 🤗

Love this place. True local pub, even after the recent make over. Now waiting for the return of Sunday lunch.

Lovely staff, lush beer garden 🥂🍻🍹🍸🍷🍾

Nice place very friendly staff and look forward to going again.

I called today for a traditional Sunday lunch break on a 150mile journey, responding to the A board on the pavement. I parked easily/safely. Upon entering it was clearly Covid aware. There were ample staff and one cheerlady type from the Emerald Isle Leading the pack, a joy to behold, in exactly the right slot for her friendly outgoing at ease personality. From seating to eating was 15mins, a nice beef dinner, Cheap cheerfull. 100% . Paul Storr.

Very welcoming good beer what more do you want even got sport on the telly

Great place to go to and good people who run the bar

Very good food service a bit mixed up mixed up the drinks ,did all the checks at the door would go again,went for lunch.

Nice evening with friends but food disappointing.

Nice beer garden, quiet, some areas shaded. Lovely staff. Very covid aware without it impacting negatively on the experience. Will definitely come again!

Best pub in town I will always be there

Love coming here, staff are super nice and the Sunday roast is amazing, buffet style

A real pub. Great pint of Banks.

In a word, NO. POOR BEER POOR SERVICE and only given one star because I had to.

Great night three bands awesome.e atmosphere

Community oriented pub with some cask ales on tap.

Very friendly staff who go above and beyond, I have had business dealings with these would recommend to anyone and its ideal for a family function which I'm thinking off myself, full credit to staff

Just had a beautiful steak dinner. Prefectly cooked with all the trimmings. The plate was full and I ate every bite. Great value for money. The atmosphere was great, bar staff friendly and that makes the food enjoyment even better. Compliments to the Chef and would 100% recommend.

The food had to be sent back three times it would seem the chef can't cook chips cooked in the middle hard inside very greasy.

A unique place in Ceredigion. Perfect location for spoiling someone. Managed to perfection. Good deals for those who enjoy, but can't really afford that level of luxury.

What a lovely find myself & my friend made tonight. Warm, friendly & welcoming. We ordered then sat and chatted with our drinks. The sound of chat and the general ambience was just wonderful. We soon relaxed and just enjoyed our surroundings. Once the meal came, which although took over an hour, we were surprised at the size of the meal, it’s was very very generously proportioned. Once we were over the shock we tucked in. The meal was hot, incredibly tasty and worth every penny spent & minute waited. We were so full we didn’t finish & bought our deserts home with us as there was no way we could have managed them. An absolute gem of a place & 1 we will be returning to regularly.

Friendly village pub, good beer. Worth going.

Great carvery, would highly reccomend

Nice friendly staff but a little messy.

Really lovely veggie food the best food I've had out in a long time as the veggie options are usually rubbish in other places. Called in advance and very friendly and nice.

Carvery was very good. Massive portion definitely recommended.
