Black Lion

Best stay I’ve had in a long time. Amazing welcome and service from John and the team.Couldn’t recommend enough and will visit anytime we’re passing 10/10

We have visited here a few times with no problem, today however was a different story. We ordered the 3 meat roast and sad to say it was awful. The beef was tough and looked like it had come out of a packet or pre cooked beef. The chicken, well there really wasn't any, maybe 1 mouthful. The Belly pork was lovely but the crackling was soggy. The Yorkshire pudding was so thick and heavy it was like eating a cake". The gravy was watery and absolutely no flavour whatsoever. The roasties

Welcoming friendly staff, had a nice pub lunch compliments to the chef who brought out the food also, thought that was an excellent touch, nice location, plenty of space to park, excellent views.

Dudnt stay but lovley pub next to a stream in a little village,had a quick drink very friendly staff ,food that was being brought out looked really nice,and not bad price. Happy hour on a Wednesday. Worth a visit

This is a wonderful place to stay the owner cannot do enough to make your stay pleasurable.His. Team are very friendly and pay attention to detail xThe food is well presented and deliciousThe beds are very comfortable and very spacious. We shall return again soon,

Went here for a birthday meal with my son and my sister. Also my daughter inlaw and nephew. The meal we had was terrible. 5 of us altogether. We ordered the lamb for main meal it was bad.The Yorkshire pudding was so hard couldn't be eaten. Also the roast potatoes were very very hard. It's a shame coz the pub itself was lovely.needless to say we won't eat there again at weekend. They have a different chef during the week.

To say that the surrounding pub and cafe are dog friendly this one isn't, really disappointing and was told we could sit in the shelter outside with the smokers, shelter was leaking due to the rain and didn't provide good coverage at all. Not a great experience for our first visit. May be consider an area where families and their furry friend can eat/drink in the pub like the majority. Location is beautiful as we were staying up the road just a shame we were asked to sit outside due to having the dog after such a long journey.

The pub is lovely and is set in a really beautiful spot. The service was good and the beer too (Madri). BUT… the roast lamb meal which had been recommended to us was very disappointing - the lamb itself wasreally bland and very tough as was the Yorkshire pudding. 3 of us had the same meal and we all agreed. It’s a fairly long way to go to for a very mediocre meal.

The Black Lion at Llanfair Talhaiarn is in a beautiful village location along side of a pretty river. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The owner John was very attentive to all customers and nothing was too much trouble for him. The food was all excellent and very well prepared and cooked. I would certainly stay there again.

Poor choice of ale even though the waitress was welcoming and very helpful.I was on a business trip so the importance was simplicity, decent food and drink, quiet atmosphere and decent internet connection!Chose the mega-gammon which was good but why is it that caterers insist on trying to force canned pineapple on us with a grilled meat meal? 2 fried eggs, chips and mushy peas made the meal! Sad part was there was no French mustard to complement the meat.The waiting time for meal was surprisingly fast given other reviewer comments even though this was a Monday - from point of order at 1pm to food service at 1.16pm with a piping hot and decently cooked meal.A nice quiet pub with a constant background sound track that although easy on the ears did begin to grate after a period of time.Toilets were immaculately clean and smelt pleasantly fresh.Rather typical for a Robinson pub but it is such a great shame that whoever wrote their advertising was in a dream world when they claimed don't forget the great range of ales on tap"!"
