Friendly pub serving large portions of good food. Good beer and cider too. A large car park, although it was rammed when we went, as a party of 19 arrived just before us.

The heart of our village. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. Always perfect. Real Wales. Just gets better and better. Combines local pub hospitality with excellent food catering and total dog lovers. Now with an excellent Garden Menu. Terrific beer garden and outside tables. Managed with care and always willing to try something new!

So glad we called in here for an evening meal while on holiday. We were taken upstairs, and I confess I was a little put off by the well trodden carpet on the way up..but in hindsight I think this just shows the popularity of this very welcoming pub!! I couldn't fault the staff or the meal we had here. There were several tempting options on the menu, including tasty vegan options - I went for the satay tofu, which was delicious! My son opted for something from the child's menu, which they kindly offered to make into a larger portion as he's 12...and it was a huge portion when it arrived!! My husband was defeated by the Red Lion burger which again was huge and very tasty!! My son wanted me to ask the name of our waiter as he said he was the friendliest waiter he'd ever seen.... I think it was actually the owner!! And he was indeed very friendly and we had a nice chat with him when we went to pay. Couldn't fault our visit and will definitely eat here again if we are ever holidaying this way in the future.

Visited as a group of four on Bank Holiday Saturday. We were all pleasantly surprised by how affordable the meals were and the portion sizes are generous. Great use of quality local produce, bursting with flavour, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious! All the staff were polite and helpful, making us (& our little pup) feel very welcome. Best pub meal in the surrounding area by a long way. Looking forward to returning soon.

This a very oldy world restaurant with excellent staff, food and atmosphere. I personally had the Welsh Surf and Turf. This dish had a delicious laverbread and cockle cream sauce over the best steak that I have ever had. They told us that because of equipment break-down that the service would slower than they would like, the service was faster and better than we would have expected, brilliant. All four of us came away with the same feeling of enjoyment. The quality of the meals was, apart from the very experienced chef, the beautiful local produce.

Food is overpriced for what was delivered, it was the festival but my BBQ loaded fries were so acrid, thus was clearly a bought sauce for a burger topping not for cooking it in. Fatty pork too. No balanced to reduce the acid or sweetness. Then the card machine went down and then they only took cash.

Called in for lunch. Sat in the bar of the traditional old pub. After much deliberation, chose Surf & Turf (Sirloin topped with cockles laverbread and ham in cream sauce) and my husband ordered Manhattan Chicken (breaded chicken topped with cheese and BBQ sauce). Both were a plateful (see photos). Glad to hear the pub us dog friendly for next time

The Red Lion is our local Restaurant after we moved down the road about 3 years ago, we call here now at least every few weeks for a meal & Drink's, either on our own or with friends and family, the welcome is always great, the staff are lovely and attentive and the food never fails to be amazing. We are firm believers in supporting your local Business’s and restaurants because if you don’t you could lose them, so if you’ve never been, give them a try and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed 5*’s all the way for us 👍🏻 Dale & Erica

This was a last-minute booking - on my own, so they gave me a table in the bar. That didn't sound great, but on a rainy Sunday lunchtime the restaurant areas were full and the bar was quiet, which I was glad of. The food is good - had slow-cooked beef with a generous serving of vegetables nicely served - buttery mash, plenty of gravy. Service was pleasant and efficient, prices are very reasonable and I would be very happy to eat there again.

I was able to come down early in the morning and decorate, the owner Huw was very attentive and was always on hand to help. We had the perfect afternoon with family and friends. We had a buffet style lunch with plenty of variety of meats, veggie and vegan options. I would definitely use the red lion again if I require a function room. Also had their pub menu food before and was absolutely gorgeous. Diolch yn fawr xx

I was here for a wake. The staff were friendly but very busy. Problem was, I'm disabled and all the food (and obviously most of the guests), were upstairs where the food was laid on - so I can't comment on what it was like. I was also unable to say my goodbyes as everyone was upstairs when I was leaving with the few who were downstairs. I noticed that they had a buffet room just off the area I was sitting in, can't think why they didn't use that.

It’s not always easy to find a true “dog friendly” pub, even harder when you have 2! The Red Lion relievers on all counts. Drinks, food, service and snuggles for a husky. What a fantastic welcoming pub. From the moment we landed in the Red Lion, we were made to feel welcome, so too were the dogs. Fabulous service, fantastic food. Honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for accommodating the late change. I am sure we will be visiting again .

Lovely atmosphere on the whole, good location with parking. The food looked great and the pub was busy but not full. It was a little bit sad to hear two of the waitresses speaking about us in Welsh, complaining about "English tourists". My wife is Welsh, and we were visiting friends. Being a Welsh speaker, she understood what they were saying. We decided to finish our drinks and leave.

We met the owner during the week and as a result of his recommendation visited their burger van Friday evening to have their homemade fish and chips.. so good. We then visited Sunday to try the Sunday lunch.. spectacular! All homemade to perfection, tasty and generously portioned it was delightful! We absolutely loved every element.The veggie option was a treat and not the run of the mill usual option you get. What a great place will be back every week!
