The White Lion Hotel in Shropshire

We stopped off for a quick look round the town, and decided to eat here. We were not disapointed. The food was excellent, large portions and freshly cooked. Lots of options for everyones tastes on the menu. Was comfortable and cosy environment to eat in. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great value for money

Just acquired a static caravan close to Machynlleth. The White Lion has become our first choice for food. Eaten here 4 times in four weeks. The fish is probably the best I have had. Last time here we were with three others, on my recommendation four out of five had the fish, all agreed it was as good as you can get.

Food here is very basic and the staff are a bit scatty. Nothing is cooked particularly well, all looks rushed. Some funny locals though, enjoyed the story about Shirley Vaughan getting caught giving the owner oral in the toilet, and also about her getting nailed by a bin man by the garages. Funny place.

It might not be the prettiest of places but it’s never empty. Always busy with both locals and visitors. Nice beer and the food is great. No frills pub grub but the portions are massive. Highly recommend the the steak pie, the huge gammon and the lamb shank.
