The food and the service at the Black Lion Inn is amazing! The portions sizes are very generous, and the homemade chips are the best! This old quaint pub is the perfect place for a delicious meal, especially next to the log burner on a winters day, so cosy! Would 100% recommend it. Thank you!

This little gem of a pub is amazing!!! It's only small but this adds to the character of the place! The owners Nigel and Dafydd are lovely and make you feel so welcome!And the best part is the food is sooo good and totally worth every penny!Cannot recommend this place enough! Go for a hike in the local area and then stop by the Black Lion for a well earned pint and some food! I recommend the mixed grill!

It is located about a 10 minute drive from Machynlleth. The space is 500 years old and retains many of its original features and offers a traditional Welsh dining experience for the whole family. We had eaten a lot of meat on this holiday and so for this meal we chose a lighter fish option. We both had the prawn cocktail, followed by the Sea Bass. Several others in the room had more heartier dishes like the beef burger, which was piled high with four huge onions rings on top. Another guest was picking up a chocolate birthday cake the chef had made for them. It’s a small place, in the middle of no-where but packs a great culinary punch. The chef, Daffy and his partner Nigel are charming hosts!! We'll be back for sure

Great food, the seabass fillets were really tasty and the blade of beef was tender with a lovely gravy. It was quiet but it was a Monday night in November. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was cosy with an open fire. Wine and food were both reasonably priced.

Arrived to a half empty pub due to rugby World Cup final, not the norm as usually really busy.That said the food and service was excellent as usual. Would highly recommend an evening meal here.

Home cooked food at its best. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful - adapting the burger for my youngest who’s a little picky with his food. Mussels and burgers were really tasty and a good size matched by good quality. If we’re ever in area again we will definitely visit. And they’re dog friendly - even our dog got a treat too.

Must go! Food is utterly delicious!Went there for dinner during a road trip. On that day their oven was out of service so, most of their meat options were 86 but then… the most gorgeous and tasty Sunday Roast was served. If that is without oven… imagine with! Sorry, no pics because we were VERY hungry and forgot. ?

Very good service, lovely Sunday lunch. Old pub with character. A great stop off place.
Lovely cosy pub. The food is really good and they cater for Gluten Free (Coeliac). Happy, helpful staff.

Lovely old pub - authentic decor - great food - Sunday roast with large or small plate choice of pork,beef,nut roast or veggie. Piled high so great value. Would definitely recommend - worth the small drive out of the centre of Machynlleth

Went for Sunday lunch. Disappointed because you could tell the food had been prepared a while ago and was dry.The roast potatoes were hard on the outside and dry on the inside. You could tell that it was put in the microwave and then served. A very average pub because of the food.
