White Lion in Isle of Anglesey

Great pub with really friendly staff. Landlady is lovely. Food was great! My husband had the ribs and the meat fell off the bones, absolutely scrummy😋 I had the zinger chicken burger which was also delicious. Everyone was friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

A lovely pub, great atmosphere with locals and holiday makers all in a friendly mix. The owner is so welcoming, we had friends with us with two small girls and we felt really at home in the main room, there is also a beer garden at the back. Food choice for the grown ups was very good and the kids menu was just wanted they wanted. Desert was a big piece of fudge cake with ice cream....spot on. So, if you are Newborough way then this is an ideal place on the way back from your day for a drink or food. Free parking is nearby.

Great little pub, very friendly staff and locals. Reasonably priced pub grub which was of a good standard. Highly recommended after a trip to the nearby beach.

Spot on good pub food, friendly, dogs welcome, clean and tidy, lovely landlord, nothing not to like, open Tuesday to Sunday closed Mondays

Simply perfect, made to feel welcome, so helpful in planning our days. What a lovely pint, thank you for your hospitality.

We stayed nearby and loved this pub that we visited every day! Sam and Alyson made us (and our little dog Hollie) so welcome. We ate there several times in the week and the food was delicious. Alyson even treated Hollie to a sausage and made a huge fuss of her. There isn't a bad word we could say about this place. The food, the selection of drinks, the atmosphere, the staff and the customers were all brilliant. Well worth a visit, we will certainly return!

We were staying nearby and had walked to the beach, needed a pit stop on the way back. Nice pub good selection of beers, friendly owners Dog friendly, our 2 were bushed, so sat quietly but were welcome. As an ageing rocker, loved all the memorabilia on the walls! Our kind of pub, will definitely return when we come back.

Went to this pub for lunch by accident (we weren't looking for a pub lunch, but cafe not open), and didn't regret it. Food was great and we loved the beer garden, really enjoyed the aviary.

Absolutely fantastic! There was 9 of us and 2 dogs and although they said they could serve the food in 2 lots it was so worth the wait!!! Delicious and generous portions and happy kids with good honest grub!!!!! Lovely friendly Welsh hospitality!!! Lovely little touches in the bathroom x

Phoned beforehand to see if they could accommodate us as a table of 9 and 2 dogs, they said they could serve us as a split group which we were more than happy with. We arrived to a warm welcome, when the food came it was amazing with generous portions. The place had fascinating decor and a cozy beer garden with a small avery with birds. The service was great will definitely go again!

Our hosts Sam and Alison were very friendly and welcoming. Food on the menu was limited BUT from what we tasted excellent. The bar is small but with a varied selection to cover everyone's pallet. Really warm and genial premises which is dog friendly

Friendly welcome, great service and tasty food. Dog friendly as well. Really liked the decor and the story behind the guitars

A lovely small but perfectly formed family run pub. The owner was absolutely lovely, the food was great and they were very dog friendly. I highly recommend if you are in the area to stop in for some classic British food or a pint in the well kept beer garden.

Traditional pub with good and effortable food. We ate in the backyard and had some drinks. We would come back, if we are around next time.

Fab cozy pub Alison and Sam the owners are lovely took the time to sit and talk it's spotlessly clean... I looked in the kitchen prep area Alison showed me around it's sooo clean you cpykd eat off the floor... The food looks great good portions... Don't miss out by driving by call in for a pint or your tea.. Let's keep these little pubs going.. Thanks Alison and Sam for a great few nights.

Walked in, about twenty people sitting and standing at the bar (all seemed to know each other, so I'm assuming locals) and at the nearest tables so I couldn't get near. I stood for ages, moved from side to side to indicate a desire to get to the bar and was met with blank stares. Both proprietors there, completely ignored me. Saw me, blanked me. So, I suspect many of the favourable reviews are from locals. Walking the Anglesey coast path alone and had been blown away by the friendliness and warmth of the people - the bus drivers were incredible - everywhere but here. By contrast, I dined at the Black Lion in LLanfaethlu, where a single female is greeted as just another welcome guest, nobody batted an eyelid (in the right sense), I had a lovely meal and felt completely comfortable the whole time. To be fair to the proprietors I had a glass of wine in this establishment the previous evening and whilst I didn't feel particularly welcomed I did not experience outright hostility. The difference was the pub was almost empty - just the usual male 'regulars' propping up the bar. Someone in another review described this as a 'community' pub which is probably right. Nice decor by the way. Anyway, happy days. Girls, AVOID!

My dad and I visited on Tuesday and popped in for a few drinks The pub has an inviting atmosphere & is very welcoming. Alison & Sam are super friendly & lovely! Alison sat and spoke with us for a while. The pub is pet friendly (the owners have two dogs, one came out to say Hello!) We didn’t eat but the food looked delicious and the kitchen is spit spot clean. If you’re in the area, definitely visit!

Excellent pub, been a visitor on numerous times when visiting the island. Sam and Alison always make you feel welcome. Dog friendly, Hells beers and good food. Locals very amusing, fantastic wall decorations and a very chilled out beer garden with an avairy. Well worth a visit.

Staying locally we dropped in for a drink at the White LIon. Lovelly friendly pub that also does food. The Pub is dog friendly and serves a good selection of Ales. Worth a visit.

The two of us called on spec recently for a quick meal, having found the pub on Tripadvisor. Although it wasn't busy when we called, the pub just oozes character, being full of rock music memorabilia, with signed pictures, gold discs and signed guitars on the walls. The great food was a bonus really, as we had a brilliant chat about music and musicians with the landlord. Although we arrived close to the cut-off time for food, the boss's wife was happy to cook us a superb vegetarian chilli with rice and chips, and there was a great selection of other pub food for the meat-eaters. Altogether a great evening with a friendly and welcoming couple and their lovely young Rottie girl. We'd definitely return for more when we're on the island again.

Recently stayed near Newborough which is lovely and quiet. Didn’t really have high hopes for the white lion when we walked past earlier in the day as it just looks like a house, but once inside it’s a cracking simple little boozer with a good...

Stayed a week at Rhianfa close by to fabulous local pub. Very friendly and helpful. Dogs made welcome and with great beer and cracking music,made it very difficult to leave.

We visited this pub in February 2020 and loved how friendly it was. As soon as we returned to our cottage, we visited the pub again. Great atmosphere, great music, very dog friendly. My kinda heaven. We'll be back again and again.

Really friendly and welcoming pub. Lovely beer garden with Aviary and beautiful, well looked after birds. The locals are chatty and everyone makes you feel at home. Great local pub.

Great little village pub! Friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. They even had my favourite cider on! Winner! Lovely clean dog friendly beer garden.

Wow! If I had a pub it would be just like this one. A great place, in a great location playing great music, which is what caught my attention as we were walking past. And decided we must go in. I got talking to the...

Made to feel like a local from day one. Food is fantastic and quick. Dog and family friendly. Drink is cheap but decent(Taps obviously checked regularly)

Friendly staff good takes a while but it's fresh and hot. They even have a joke box. We went on with grandkids 3 and 5 and were welcomed they had children's meals that would have fed and adult. It is more like pub grub place...

All the people is very friendly and good vibe. I order burger and it is best taste, good texture. Would order it again and again. I give it a 5 stars.

We have visited this evening, a family of 6 with a cockapoo dog. The welcome was outstanding and we could not recommend highly enough. Warm, friendly and the most clean establishment we have ever visited. Nothing is too much trouble. The landlady and her staff make you feel so relaxed and go the extra mile and make you fall in love all over again with what it’s like to be in a real pub. We are staying at a local campsite and if you are in the area, well worth a visit. Plus, they have a pool table, which they are happy for the children to use supervised by parents. Thank-you...a great local family pub, with good ale, great food and a happy vibe, ...x❤️x

We originally were hoping to dine at the White Lion, but down to unfortunate circumstances of which was no fault of their own, the kitchen was closed for the day. Nevertheless, the friendly and welcoming owners offered us a take away option, which we took, after which we asked whether we could eat it inside. They couldn’t have been more “up for it”, giving away an eight seater table for customers who had ordered from a separate establishment. They later offered us napkins, cutlery, and sauces out of the kindness of their hearts and respect for customers. The decor is fresh and stylish, clean and inviting, with the classic “pub” styled interior. Would 100% recommend the White Lion to anyone living in the area or passing by!

Doesn't look much on the outside and not very eyecatching but really lovely inside. Nice decor, spottlessly clean and dog friendly. Beer garden in back a lovely place to sit and relax with a drink. They served pub food, gammon, scampi etc. We enjooyed the food, plenty of it. Please support when in the area.

Really great food (even my very, very fussy son loved the food!) The staff are really friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a visit.

Superb food. Great little sun trap in the beer garden. Had our evening meal here after some dingcall day on the beach in the sunshine. Very friendly, local pub.

Been here a couple of times over the last couple of years and genuinely look forward to popping in every time.Everybody is incredibly friendly and welcoming.Our now 5 year old (3 when he first went in) loves it. Everybody who was there all engaged with him. It's got to the point where they recognise him (and his hat) before myself and my husband. Yes, there can be some choice language sometimes, but it's a pub. He knows that grown ups say some things that are just for them to say, not kids, but the clientele have always been considerate and apologised when it's got a bit too choice.Food is freshly cooked, tasty, and plenty of it. Clean plates from all of us everytime.Pub is lovely and clean including the loo's which have suncream and various toiletries free of charge.It's clearly states on the board outside that it's cash only and the shop across the road has a cash machine.Also, the Jukebox is excellent and the memorabilia bon the walls is epic. Genuinely love this pub. 5 stars, everytime.

Chanced upon this pub after a long, long walk in Newborough Forest. A cute little local situated in a great location right next to the forest and beach area, offering a welcome chance for a drink and a sit down. The Guinness went down a treat! The landlady Alyson obviously takes great pride in her pub which was clean and welcoming. When we asked for a taxi to take us to our car about a mile away Alyson insisted on driving us there herself and refused any payment. What a star! We have no hesitation in recommending this lovely local.

We came down to Newborough beach and popped in here. It first appeared a basic pub and didn’t appear to do food. However, we asked and they provided us with some menus. Ordered a couple of drinks for my wife and 11 year old son and asked if they were doing food.... Well, they were very polite and friendly and offered us the menus. the food was incredible and great value. I spoke with the chef and she was equally polite and really friendly, the food was great, the choice of beers were great and the pool table was immaculate. My sister joined half way through with her partner and they ordered off the back of what we were eating. Great food, great staff and great prices. Thank you all who we met. When we left the locals even wished us a happy holiday.

Called in after a lovely walk along Newborough beach and forest. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had scampi and chips and a veggie chilli, both were well prepared and tasted good. Went down well with a nice cold beer!

Came here one night for dinner mid week. Was only a few people in. I asked if kitchen was still open and the landlady said that although she was the only person working she would make us some food. I had a rack of ribs and chips which was good, my only comment was it came with no veg, peas, salad etc so it was a bit plain.

really friendly people and a cosy atmosphere ,food was basic pub food ,the drinks were nice and cold.

First of all I would like to say wow! There is nothing better than coming down on holiday and finding an amazing place for food! We came yesterday afternoon for a beer, and the menu looked so good we came back for tea, the scampi and chips was unbelievable!! We then couldn’t resist today and came back for another beer and a lovely breakfast. Amazing service at the bar, the barmaid was very kind, and the owners were very helpful with directions and recommended the best pint! We are down for the whole week, therefore we will be back. Recommend to everyone.

The White Lion is a fantastic local pub with the friendliest locals in, so friendly that it’s hard to get out of the place when it’s time to go, the landlady is great and the beer garden looks great for the summer.

Everyone at the White Lion was very friendly but the reason for this review is to strongly advise against taking children in here. We ate here last week from their very limited basic menu that was served piping hot. There were 4 issues as follows -

We visited the white lion for an evening meal, taking along our dog. The owners are very dog friendly and were chatty and friendly, giving great advice about walks and things to see in the area. Lovely food, good portions. Beer garden is lovely with a very relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Popped in for a drink and ended up having a meal. A very welcoming local inn with a delightful beer garden. Child and dog friendly. Very clean and airy public bar.

This pub was so friendly they even opened the kitchen up again for us and the food was great especially the Scampi.

When we first entered the pub, we didn't think it was anything special. Just an ordinary village pub, full of locals. Menu was quite brief and unassuming, but it was getting late, we hadn't eaten, and we decided to try the chilli con carne, which we had 'half and half'. Alison, the landlady, appeared to also be the chef, and also knew many of the customers personally. Much friendly bantering ensued, which we (as the only non-locals) were included in. We were made to feel very welcome and 'one of the lads', so to speak! The chilli was delicious, definitely home-based, spicy, hot, delicious! We are going home tomorrow - a shame, as it would have been great to visit this fabulous place again, if only for the fantastic atmosphere.

Very lovely, welcoming staff, our dogs were made to feel welcome as were our children. Last minute decision to have a pub meal before we went back to our campsite and we are SO glad we did. Food was amazing and everybody was just SO lovely. Definitely will visit again and highly recommend.

E.g. Where do we start! The best pint and food you could wish for with such a warm welcome and the beer garden is absolutely beautiful. Dog friendly and immaculately clean. We will be back very soon.

A very nice pub which also serves delicious food. The staff is friendly and overall the place has a welcoming atmosphere. Very tolerant of pets expecially dogs.

A great friendly Pub with good food and polite friendly staff. Animal friendly always welcome Dogs. Has a nice outside Beer garden with great food. The best Pub Newborough.

Having spent the morning at Newborough beach we were looking for somewhere for a bite to eat and a drink. Having dogs with us we needed dog friendly and this place came up on a quick google search.

Every time we visit Angelsey, this is the place we always go ... fantastic welcome by the owners and lovely locals who are really friendly too. The beer garden is second to none as it is one of the best I have seen. Immaculately clean. Food fantastice and the best pint you could wish for. I have just read the last review from Paul (below) and it is totally inappropriate and wrong ... visit yourself and you will mark this out as a place to go!

We went here on the reviews of others, however it was very grubby and dirty inside the bar, and the patio was very smelly from animal pee that had been washed down. I won’t be going back.

This is my local pub but I had not eaten there before

Thank you to the lovely landlady who made us and our German Shepherd very welcome.Menu typical bar snacks,well cooked and nicely served. We sat in the small beer garden and were able to relax knowing that Poppy was well received..Not a very big pub,homely.Will definitely call again..Me being a bit of a piglet would love to see some dessert or ice cream available.

First visit to newborough. Was travelling by bike from our camp site on one of the hottest days of the year. Stopped at the pub and watched the football match, enjoyed the cider on draft. Landlord was a great sort and made us feel welcome. Was quite busy with the weather being good, great atmosphere for the match. Would definitely recommend the pub but don't recommended trying to ride your bike to the beach after a couple of ciders!! ;>)

Nice landlords very friendly and cheerful. we have popped in twice now for drinks on the way back from the beach. Nice atmosphere in here and a lovely outside garden area. Nice touches in the toilets for you to use if needed deodorants, body sprays, aftersun etc

A proper village pub where, as the sign outside promises, you'll always have a warm and friendly welcome. Alyson and Sam are always welcoming, their beers are well-kept and the food is both reasonably-priced and with generous portions. An Anglesey gem that more people should experience.

Really friendly village pub very welcoming would highly recommend the food good service very dog friendly there's always fresh water and treats for the dogs nice out side seating in the garden very clean facilities and will definitely be returning for another visit so very polite lovely people

What a 'Great Disappointment' : The " WHITE LION HOTEL" public House , Malltraeth Street, Llanfairpg, turned out to be turned out to be like "CHRISTMAS IN THE DOG HOUSE".

Such a warm welcoming pub, the landlord and landlady are amazing and hospitable..the biggest perk to this place apart from the spectacular service is Frank the pug! Adorable pup! The locals are all friendly and approachable. Can't wait to visit again

We were staying not far from the pub on a camp site.

If you want a family meal with children under 16 then I recommend that you do not eat here! Recently me and family went to walk into this pub/restaurant that is advertised as a family friendly environment and was mortified at the language we was greeted by upon entering the pub, from a middle aged lady behind the bar. Language used is too foul to repeat on here. It was a shame because all of the locals seemed very welcoming. I will not be suggesting this place to anyone of my fellow camping friends who regularly visit the area at all times of the year. However, we did find a much nicer a service, with polite staff at the chip shop over the road.

Visited pub with family for a meal. The menu was tiny and was primarily based around chips (burger/scampi/sausage) which is fine but just not what we were expecting. The food, whilst good, was like a cafe menu. We were sat out the back of the pub in an annex, which was nice apart from being next to where the food was prepared & the smell of deep frying was overpowering. There is a outside seated area as well which would be good in dry weather. Food & drink prices very reasonable. Just not what we were expecting from a restaurant or previous reviews.

Visited this pub for a family evening meal whilst on a camping holiday. This a lovely little pub with a wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and tasteful modern decor. The food was traditional pub grub and was delicious. What a lovely little place. Will definitely come back here again.

A lovely friendly pub with a great local atmosphere and a beautiful beer garden. the Landlady is wonderful and couldn't do enough for us, she also kept our dog very happy with a constant supply of biscuits!

Teníamos altas expectativas de leer las otras críticas, así que quiero hacer una más equilibrada. Efectivamente nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y el perro estaba muy bien hechas en casa. El menú es sencillo y con mucha carne, así que si eres un quisquilloso como yo y como muchas verduras puede lucha, pero si estás contento con costillas y patatas fritas, etc. todo bien. Para los brazos Gaerwyn lujosos restaurantes a 15 minutos en coche de la carretera es mejor, pero también es el doble de precio. Nos pareció que el olor de ambientador en el salón y desinfectante en el jardín un poco desagradable mientras comes, posiblemente tenían sólo limpian y no siempre que fuertes.

Mejor comida de pub! Precios decentes y unos dueños encantadores y un bar personal hermoso jardín de cerveza y los perros son bienvenidos con galletas de perro, los aldeanos son muy educados, y la playa isla llanddwyn es simplemente impresionante! A sólo una corta distancia...

Habíamos ido a pasar el día y vimos el White Lion, así que decidimos tomar una copa. Había 9 de nosotros que fuimos, pero el propietario no era desconcertaba y sirve a todos con una sonrisa. Nos sentamos en el jardín, que era precioso, que...

Tuvimos una gran visita al león blanco fuimos una copa temprano por la noche después de un día en la playa era un ambiente muy agradable bastante ajetreada, pero nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos los propietarios eran tanto brillante no podía hacer lo suficiente para ayudar. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra noche y recomiendo encarecidamente

Precioso pequeño pub, muy limpio y bien cuidado. El Garden Pub es preciosa y relajante, y la pareja propietaria del pub son tan amable y acogedor, nada es demasiado problema para ellos. Sin duda una y otra vez.

Went in on a Saturday afternoon to book a table for dinner & have one drink. Ended up staying for dinner & the night. Made so welcome by the owners. Food lovely. Lovely beer garden. Lovely clean toilets. Juke box was a great asset. Danced and mixed with the locals & campers from local camp sites. Would definitely recommend this little pub. Don't drive past. Go in and give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Only popped into this pub yesterday afternoon to book a table for the evening and never left...Had so much fun and laughter with the lovely couple who own it and the locals.Definitely be going back next time we visit Angelsey. Highly recommended if you want a warm friendly welcome.

Very friendly people who own the pub very accommodating , good pints! Nicely decorated, best place to go with a dog!! Nice overall atmosphere and there's a beer garden with which is very aesthetically pleasing !

Very dog friendly welcoming pub in Newborough (doggy treats and bowls of water were in plentyful supply). We stopped in a couple of times whilst on a long weekend holiday for a much needed drink after long walks around the coast and to the island and back. The hosts and locals were all very friendly and pleasant. There is nice patio beer garden at the back for the warmer weather. We understand they do serve food but we didn't eat as we just wanted a drink each time. It may be the food is seasonal as we didn't see any menus but then we never asked to either.

Although the White Lion is very much a 'locals pub' on the rare occasions that I get to call in for a pint I have always been made to feel welcome.The beer is good, the Guiness particularly so and staff aways friendly.

5 guys on a walking w/e arrived at 2pm on a Sunday expecting to have lunch . Unfortunately ,Alison ,the landlady had stopped doing meals the week before due to being "out of season . " She took pity on us however & conjured up burger & chips with a smile . Saved the day ! Maybe amend seasonal details on website if not all ready done ? Thank you Alison .

We had visited newborough forest and passed this place on the way in , it was closed but I asked the chap at the shop opposite what time it opened , as we wanted to eat sound 4ish . He said around 3 and told us the food was good . Well what can I say , the landlady was lovely , down to earth and very welcoming , the locals were brilliant , this place isn't one of your fancy food places but it is a proper pub serving proper good priced food . Good sized portions which are really good value for money . We were made to feel very welcome even with 4 dogs . This place is a little gem and the staff and locals are brilliant ........ Dick your a star mate , it was a pleasure to have met you
