The Red Lion in Powys

Brilliant atmosphere, lovely food and the staff were extremely friendly…couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Excellent!!! Can't recommend it enough! Great home cooked food. I had the steak and ale pie, light flaky pastry full of large tender chunks of beef in a lovely gravy. Sister had the Cottage Pie, beefy, plenty of meat. The portions are piping hot and HUGE!

Great food great service Credit to Jeanette and the staff Friendly staff good service and good value for money

Ordered two different meals..steak and ale pie for one and a curry..... Big plates, very tasty, friendly and welcoming as soon as we entered. Recommend if your in the area...

Sunday dinner here was great. We had a warm welcome by the staff & our dog was also welcomed in. Great selection of beers. Food was nice & with good portions & a fair price. Now we have a caravan near here we’ll be back very often.

Whilst staying in the area we booked in here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and what a great afternoon we had! It was quiet when we arrived and the staff let us choose the chanel so we could watch the rugby. Our roast dinners were brought out to us delicious, piping hot, plentiful and served by friendly staff. We would even go as far as saying that it was possibly the best pub roast dinner we have ever had! It was also very reasonably priced. The pub started to fill up and we ended up having a great laugh with some of the locals who were really friendly and made us feel really welcome. We didn't have much of an expectation when we arrived, however we had a really lovely afternoon with delicious food, beer and wine and great company. We will definitely go back here if we are ever in the area again!

Passing threw stopped for a bit to eat had our dog with us so weather was good day in beer garden but was told welcome inside if we wanted Food was lovely staff very friendly definitely would stop again if passing by .

Arrived without booking and friendly barman explained where we could sit and we chose to go in the beer garden. The locals were very welcoming and our food was delicious, I had veggie lasagne and husband had the pie which he said was lovely, Wouldn't hesitate to return

Three of us having helped a mate tame his garden near Dolanog called at the Red Lion. Firstly, top kept and served beer (Three Tuns, Bishop’s Castle) and an excellent Guinness. Then, my goodness, the food!! The full size dinner plates were too small! Two of us enjoyed the pie with rich dark tasty gravy, loads of meat and lighter than air pastry topping, plus mashed potatoes and a giant helping o f chips and green vegs. Incredible portions and sensible pricing (£10-12). Couldn’t resist a sticky toffe with ice cream. Chef came and had a chat, she makes all the food from scratch and there is plenty of choice. Lovely staff, great place all round, loads of locals in too. Go again? You betcha asap

I was in town for a couple of days. Visit the area fairly often. Red Lion did the job. Food and drink from 3pm. It's a very local pub: almost family atmosphere. Good portions and beer decent. Basically ask and the team will make it happen. Take it as you find it: it is a natural pub serving the community. No fancy fit out or restaurant styled food. It fits the local and basic visitor needs well. Decent beer garden. Staff make you very welcome, even if not from the town. Will return when next in town.

Supposedly a dog friendly place. The chef told me to shorten my dogs lead, fair enough, but then called my daughters therapy dog a rat on a rope then proceeded to mouth off to the locals about him. So rude. The bar staff are nice & food was ok but not fantastic. I wouldnt visit again.

Just off the main road but if you want friendly staff and beautiful home cooked food then this is definitely the place for you! Highly recommend!

Cannot fault it at all. Food was generous and absolutely delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful, beer was yummy 😊 would definitely come back here!

Dinner for 3 in this pub which has a lot of atmosphere. Portions were very generous.Excellent choice of veggie/vegan stuff. Can recommend the chickpea, sweet potato and spinach curry and the gammon.

Didn’t really know what to expect. Wasn’t disappointed at all. Definitely service with a smile all the time. The food? Lovely!

Had an excellent family meal at the Red Lion. Generous portions, delicious flavours, good price. Highly recommended.

Visited this pub whilst in Llanfair having been on the light railway from Welshpool. We had Sunday lunch - one of us choosing Chicken & two of us choosing Beef. Meat was tender and delicious with plenty of potatoes, Yorkshire’s & veg. We also had...

We have eaten here 3 times now and have always had a great meal, very fresh and large portions at a reasonable price, staff very friendly.

Amazing food plentiful,we had home made chilli and asked for half and half we had a bowl full of chips and a side salad each,well the worth the money we couldn't eat any pudding as we were absolutely stuffed. This pub has the best food...

We visited twice this week, as a couple and four of us. Both times the service was friendly and relaxed and the food was delicious. Between us we tried the gammon, the home made lasagne and the steak and ale pie. Fantastic value for money...

The Red Lion is a proper beer pub with excellent (and plentiful) home cooked food. Set aside a little time if you eat here - it will take a while to consume, especially if you order the locally sourced gammon and the freshest free range...

Dog friendly. It serves food. We chose not to eat as we were staying locally and already had bought something to eat. We visited when there was football on the large screen televisions. Not obtrusive but you needed to think where to sit.

We booked a table after doing the Santa Special. The landlady was very welcoming and arranged a table in the dining room upstairs, together with a highchair for my grandson. The food was fantastic, reasonably priced and steaming hot. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and lovely service. Portions were enormous but so nice we could not leave any. Would recommend. Reasonably priced good food.

We arrived in Llanfair Caerinion at about 1:50pm on the little train from Welshpool and had an hour and a half to spend. We chose the Red Lion and it was a good decision. A choice of two real ales and food served all day...
