The Black Lion - Menu

We called in for Sunday lunch and had a fantastic meal. The place has got a lot of old photos lamps and various items in the bar as well as a log burner. The staff were very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Thank you we’ll be back to see you.

The restaurant offers delicious food at a reasonable price. It is located in a charming village with a traditional vibe. The clientele consists of both locals and tourists, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

During our holiday in Ystrad Meurig, we decided to dine at the Black Lion. The pub has a charming, traditional atmosphere and the staff and patrons were extremely friendly. We ordered pizza from the menu and were impressed with how deliciously cooked and well-presented they were. Definitely worth a visit.

Value for money is exceptional and the food is absolutely delicious. The menu is small but perfectly designed around the star attraction of the main meal. We always choose the beef which is perfectly pink and the accompanying veg is amazing. Great service and great food. On a good day, you can hear the chef singing from the kitchen ;

A cosy and comfortable traditional pub with excellent food. Staff are friendly and accommodating. They cater for food allergies and vegetarians. (If you phone 24 hours before dining more choice would be available). Only disappointment was the cafetière was weak. Luckily the espresso was excellent. Dogs allowed, biscuits available. An unexpected little gem.

Visited this evening while on holiday locally having been recommended. From the outside, it doesn't look up to much, but inside is quaint and cosy, with a friendly welcome. From the varied menu, we had gammon, mushroom and red pepper stroganoff and pizza (made to order with choice of toppings). All fresh and very tasty. For pudding we had a rhubarb crumble, chocolate brownie and a waffle with peanut butter ice cream and Nutella. Again, all delicious. Helpful waitress offered suggestions for things to do in the local area. We hope to return during our stay for another meal.

I visited The Black Lion with 4 other girls on a Tuesday evening and we really enjoyed it! The man behind the bar was very helpful and friendly. I had the lasagne and it was delicious but unfortunately I couldn 't finish it because it was such a generous portion which was very reasonably priced!! My friend has the 'Make your own pizza ' and nonce of us were expecting it to be that big and she loved it! She couldn 't finish it so we took the rest home. The atmosphere in the pub was a nice and friendly. I definitely would visit there again if I was staying in the area or even just passing through.

Very cramped eating area,left waiting at bar for a time as barman doubled as the waiter. When our Sunday lunch arrived meat was cold, left sitting on plate to long in kitchen, bowl of veg very sparing, certainly not enough for two people, and frozen Yorkshire puds!! Decided to have a pudding, as we were both still hungry they only had a choice of two, plus ice cream, when I asked why they served only two, which by they way were the same two as most of the other pubs in the area serve, I was told it was for convenience, plus I only had the choice of cream with it. Will not be returning, was a poor show, I like to feel I've had a good Sunday lunch, not go home hungry.

Lovely friendly little pub, popular with locals but also very welcoming to visitors. Good above average very tasty food using locally sourced meat such as Welsh lamb and beef. Highlights for us were the Welsh lamb shank and gorgeous shepherds pie with plenty of nice chunks of local meat and the homemade apple crumble. Pizzas also hand done from scratch with toppings made to order which we didn 't have but heard the impressed comments from the next table! You can order a 'pizza and a pint ' which was very good value. The food is all very good value we thought. There are vegetarian options which also looked good such as mushroom and red pepper stroganoff. Dogs are welcome and they even have a...
