Y Llew Coch - Mach (The Red Lion Machynlleth Town) in Powys

Lovely staff and fantastic food. Would highly recommend!

Lovely food and service 😋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great service and menu, the best option locally.

The curry's were delicious and the service was esquisit.

Fantastic beer garden located to the rear of this little gem. Owner was lovely, came and brought a connect 4 game out for me and my daughter to play while we waited for food. Food was lovely, typical pub grub and good portion size. Would recommend.

We have been to the Red Lion a few times and never been disappointed. The landlord is lovely and very friendly without being overly intrusive. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming and the food is a mix of traditional pub and asian cuisine and always delicious. Would recommend

Great service. Tasty food and good portion size. Would recommend a visit

Second visit to the Llew Coch in one week, excellent service and freshly made hot food. Came for breakfast today which was freshly cooked and piping hot. Good coffee as well.

Dined here while in the area and had an amazing meal that was excellent value for money. The Lamb Rogan Josh was amazing!!!

Lovely lunch with my family. The lamb shank was amazing.

Lovely friendly welcome at the Red Lion, water for our dog and connect 4 for us to play, food was yummy! Thank you very much :-)

Ordered the chicken in a mushroom sauce. It was amazing!

Absolutely amazing the food.We felt very welcome and the kids enjoyed their food.Absolutely recommend we are not from around the area and we just passed by but if we ever are in the area we will definitely come back again.I will recommend this place 100% and the portions are big.We had Thai green curry,prawns linguine and scallops and they were cooked very well.

Good food and reasonably priced. Service was very friendly, enjoyed our lunch there

Absolutely lovely food, we had a traditional breakfast which was fabulous, hot and plentiful and a chickpea sweet potato and spinach curry delish, definitely worth a visit

Really nice pub, really friendly bartender, served straight away and bought some games over for us, didn’t have the food but looked very good.

Lovely food! Chilled atmosphere. Dog and kid friendly.

Warm welcome and great service. Lovely food and dog friendly.recommend the Welsh lamb rogan josh

Came to the red lion for food tonight, the staff were absolutely lovely, very welcoming. The food was full of flavour and so much to choose from. Lovely chill restaurant/pub. Lovely music selection and lovely drinks. Definitely recommend

We've been here a few times now. The food is really good, we love the curries. Service is excellent, friendly and welcoming. The kids ask to come back, so that's a good gauge.

Amazing food amazing host, highly recommend 🍔🥗🍻

We were greeted greatly. Everything felt comfortable and warm. The food was absolutely splendid and mouth watering, the steaks and burgers were perfect. 100% recommend

Met with a very warm welcome when entering the Red Lion. Good choice on the menu. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, pie of the day, lamb shank and burger. Would definitely visit again when in the area!!

Great range of food, delicious meals & friendly service

Great experience and food, plus games whilst you wait for the food. 10/10.

Excellent staff excellent food really nice place to relax 👍👍👍👍👍

Fab beer garden, and lovely food too. Great drinks choice, highly recommend a visit if you are in Machynlleth or nearby

The restaurant is open till late night. Owner is very kind and lovely. Food is delicious. We love it!

Looking for a place to have a family meal on a Monday evening meant limited options. The Red Lion, whilst not looking particularly appealing, had good reviews and had options for one of our party who couldn't eat dairy. Upon arrival, whilst it looks like a pub from the outside, it doesn't look like a traditional pub from the inside, I'm not sure what it looked like to be honest! I didn't have particularly high expectations after seeing the pub but you should never judge a book by it's cover. The owner Raj, is from India, as is the head chef, so a curry seemed like a sensible option. Welsh Lamb Rogan josh and it was absolutely superb. Something more akin to a very good Indian restaurant rather than a pub. Some other reviews from our party, Toby (aged 5) - the food was amazing Archie (aged 12) - my Butter Chicken was absolutely amazing. Far better than my expectations. I mopped it all up with the delicious naan bread. Raj was a very welcoming host and we wish him all the luck as he continues to make The Red Lion a success.

Food is nice and friendly atmosphere :)

The food was excellent. We had a wide age group, from Grandma and Grandad to a 1 year old. 9 empty plates. Lamb curry was exceptional. Great service, the host was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, if you are in the area 👌👏👏👏👏

Great Sunday Lunch. Great playlist. Land lord gave great service too! Would recommend! 👍🏼

It looks great not only from the outside but also from inside. The food tastes great and the service is also very, very good. Highly recommended👍

Mega friendly service. Food diverse and delicious

We had an amazing Sunday lunch at The Red Lion. The roast was perfect, the lasagna was rich and cheesy, and the pollo al fungi was full of flavor. Our waiter Raj was friendly and attentive, making us feel completely welcome. The cozy atmosphere was enhanced by some lovely, well-behaved dogs, adding to the relaxed vibe. A truly enjoyable experience—we’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food and lovely owner/servicer! Gorgeous spot in Wales too and very fast service. Food was very flavoursome, would recommend and come again!

Very pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and decor on arrival. We had a very friendly gentleman serving us. The food was quick and delicious. Would recommend!☺️

Fantastic food, served very fast. Great staff. Was very well appreciated after a hard days hike

Really nice place food was fantastic, had the lamb shank

Lovely friendly staff. The food was freshly cooked and delicious. I had the burger which was a good serving

A lovely pub, with superb food, a nice pint, and very friendly and welcoming staff

Great meal at the end of a hard day hiking Penygader - very friendly, helpful staff and lovely wholesome meals which went down well!

Great food great prices great service

This place is amazing! Incredible food, beer garden, dog friendly and the best service. 🫶🏼

Tasty food with a very inviting atmosphere. 100% recommend this place!!!!

Really lovely service, the beer garden was perfect in the sun. Nice pub food but the onion bhaji was amazing and home made

Very good food with a lovely waiter that was welcoming. The Butter chicken is delicious as was everything else.

Delightful small pub with immaculate vibes. I ate here every night of my stay in town (or stopped by for a pint on the way back to where I was staying) and enjoyed it every time. Indian food: delicious. Classic pub fare: also delicious. Enjoy a game of Connect Four and pleasant conversation. Excellent service.

Sunday dinner was amazing. Would come again 👍

Great food and lovely staff members. Really liked the addition of the connect 4 game to see who had to do the Google review!

Good atmosphere, tasty food, refreshing drinks. Our server/bartender/host was doing it all with a fabulous air of friendliness. We were just staying in town for a few days, but stopped in multiple times for dinner and drinks, since we liked it so much.

Lovely roast dinner. Thankyou for being so accommodating when we walked in x

Very welcoming and dog-friendly pub. Excellent food. We had the specials. Recommend

Felafel was very tasty as was the butter chicken

Nice gaff. Food was decent. Land lord was smiley and friendly.

Great customer service and excellent vegan food. Lovely staff - will be back

Such a cute pub - perfect to drop in after a wild swim! Really welcoming and simple food cooked well.

Beautiful pub , check out the stunning beer garden ! Food delicious and very reasonably priced.

Really good meal, 2x Onion Bhaja, one butter chicken, one Thai chicken curry, 2 Naan bread, really tasty food, fully recommended.

Great beers; great service and food was superb. Would come back 💯

Warm friendly welcome.. bar man was full of smiles. Food wash absolutely delicious, freshly cooked, lovely ingredients! The Pie of the day is a must! And curry is lovely

Food was fantastic. Lamb shank was tender af 👌

Top nosh. Great food for Sunday lunch.

Lovely Sunday roast for mothers day. 8 of us all enjoyed what we had. Staff great too. Thank you

Lovely Sunday Dinner, very tasty and the service was fab :)

Had the pie of the day, absolutely lovely food, really nice staff and also a very quant and communal feel to the pub. 10/10!

We arrived in Machynlleth mid afternoon on a Saturday. The original place we were hoping to eat in was closed Luckily we found the Redlion & boy are we glad we did. I had the pie which was excellent(locally made). My wife ate from thevegan menu which my wife she had katsu curry. Which looked brilliant. Its Reasonably priced with brilliant service. If you want a cosy welcoming pub that is a little different & youre in Machynlleth,then the Redlion s well worth a try,it's brilliant.

Great pub grub, service was amazing and good sized portions!

Amazing staff that were caring and attentive to our needs, with a very small wait time for bistro quality meals. Will definitely come again :)

Great pub. You get what you see, but it’s very friendly and there’s a pool table!

Came here on a blustery Thursday evening and the service we received here was impeccable. The butter chicken amd the Steak and Ale pie were both excellent. The bar was clean and the atmosphere was great. Definitely stop by if you want to have a great evening.

Popped for a quick lunch with our dog. We were all made very welcome and a bowl of water was immediately on hand for our furry companion. A fantastic homemade pie followed for me. My family had a really tasty homemade (again ) chickpea, spinach potato and spinach curry and generous scampi and chips. Thank for the lovely welcome and scrumptious food.

A very poor experience. A friendly host but the 2 courses were mainly frozen microwaved items. Our spring roll starters were tiny and one of my 4 rolls had no filling at all! To be fair, the host was apologetic and provided 3 macaroni cheese balls to make up. As with my wife and son's lasagne and burger, the chips were soggy, colourless and had no crunch. My steak and ale pie was also soggy with no pieces of beef, just a mush of filling. The worst part was the gravy that had already been poured over the pie and chips- IT WAS BURNT!! My son tried some of the extra gravy in the small pot and it too was burnt, with that acrid, bitter taste. I asked the host to try the gravy pot himself but he refused. No reduction for my meal was offered. "We never said the food wasn't frozen" he replied as I paid the bill. Just awful.

Had a lovely mid week treat here, the chap serving us gave us a really warm friendly welcome and the food was delicious. The pollo al funghi was really succulent and packed with flavour.

Upon entering the Red Lion we were met with the warmest welcome from the staff. The gentleman behind the bar/our waiter and was so warm and attentive for the whole meal. The food was also delicious. Sirloin steak cooked exactly to my liking and the accompanying chips were packed with flavour. Lovely spot for a hearty delicious meal thats also value for money if you're ever passing through or staying nearby.

Exceptional service after a long day on the mountain followed by our camper breaking down! Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely friendly pub with great food . Dog friendly also

Service was wonderful and owner was very friendly! Food was well presented and the sauce on the sea bass was excellent!

A group of 8 of us came in with the dog after hiking up Cader Idris. Owner was really welcoming, food was great and venue was really relaxed and comfortable!

Absolutely fantastic experience at Red Lion! The food was delicious, but the highlight was definitely the baked Camembert – simply the best I’ve ever had. The service was wonderful, and the owner is incredibly kind, always smiling, and truly cares about his guests. Highly recommend this place!

The food was very great, the place is nice. Raj was very kind and helpful. There is pool and other games you can enjoy while waiting for the food or having a drink. I definitely recommend it!

Amazing Food & Outstanding Service from ARJ! We had an incredible dining experience at this place! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried was a delight, and the quality exceeded our expectations.A special shoutout to ARJ, who made our visit even more enjoyable. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His service was exceptional, and his positive attitude really stood out.If you’re looking for a place with amazing food and top-notch service, this is definitely the spot to visit. Highly recommended!

The Red Lion offers great food with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommended for a pleasant meal!

Came for dinner and ordered the Welsh lamb with indian twist and it was really good! Was not expecting this quality of food.

Food was great with fast and friendly service. Offered connect four for entertainment while we wait… overall was a really good experience and highly recommend!!

Excellent Service and Delicious Food! I recently visited the Red Lion Restaurant and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, well-presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. A special mention goes to Raj, who provided outstanding service throughout our visit. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His professionalism and kindness truly made our dining experience even better. I highly recommend the Red Lion Restaurant and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Raj, for the excellent service!

Service was great. Owner very attentive and friendly. Great that the pub is dog friendly, ideal for us when visiting the area. Food a bit of a mix, but the whole party said what they ordered was fine. The red lion burger was recommended. Has games, a pool table and food atmosphere. Worth visiting for the great service.

Great atmosphere and lovely food - just what we needed after a day of travelling. The staff are so attentive and kind. Love the connect 4 games too!

Lovely dinner and exceptional service. Even provided a game for the kids. Thank you

Food absolutely lovely at this pub. We had the Welsh Lamb Curry and the Pollo al Funghi and they were both delicious. Lovely service with a very welcoming host. Dog friendly which was essential for us. Thank you to the owner - a lovely man.

Lovely curries and good service.

Very friendly. Quality pool table. Wide choice of pub classics. Happy days 🥳

Quite good, if unimaginative, standard pub food slightly over priced in a pub that is clean enough. Nothing exciting.

Brilliant late lunch! Accommodating staff, dog friendly, and even let me borrow a charger!

Really good food, made better by the good service and entertainment. Took about 15 minutes for the food to arrive and was made even happier when it did. Was a bit concerned walking in but will definitely return

Food was delicious, I think we went at the wrong time of day for the atmosphere. Chap serving was top notch

Service fantastic, went out of his way to entertain my children with games and gave them a free lolly. Food lovely, would definitely recommend

It was relly good food and good curry Amazing

Very climatic place. The food was nice and I really recommend their ButterChicken! Good amount of food for a nice low price. Service was friendly and whole experience was good. :)

Really lovely service, dog friendly and great food. Would recommend.
