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.

Visited with family during the week for dinner. Food was excellent. I had the special of the day (Pene Vodka). The chef recommended it and I was not disappointed. The service was also very good. Definitely would recommend. It is worth a visit if you are in the area!

We had our works Christmas do here for 30+ people and we stayed the night. Front of house staff were lovely and welcoming, but that is all I can really say nice about our stay. Our room was like something out of the 70/80s very twee and old-fashioned. Quilt cover had a rip in it. Bath looked old, faint smell of cigarette smoke. No soap, shower gel etc in the bathroom - to help save the planet apparently - you could request some at reception. We were woken about 6am by what I assume was some kind of water cistern behind one of the bedroom walls that sounded like a plane going over head. The party. Arrival time was stated as 7pm and most (about 180) turned up about then. We were all crowded into the bar which wasn't big enough and soon warmed up to a very uncomfortable temperature. They eventually let us in at 8pm. Drinks were astronomically expensive - £7.50 for a pint £8.20 for a Baileys or a large glass of wine (£25+ by the bottle) and £7.20 for a pint of coke!!!. The main course wasn't served until after 9pm and my beef was dry and tasteless, though others who had the turkey said it wasn't bad. And my Xmas pudding was dry too. All in all not somewhere I would ever go again and certainly don't know where it gets it 4 star rating from. I did voice most of my complaints to reception before leaving.

Have been coming here for over a year and their Panang curry is the best! Portion sizes are generous for price - we always have enough leftover for a good size meal the day following. Staff is friendly too

The service was friendly and the food absolutely first-rate. Can recommend the Ploughman’s which is loaded with cheese, really top notch ham, and lovely crusty bread. Would have loved to stay for cake but we were all too full.
