I live very closely to this pub, & have watched, eagerly, as the new owners totally refurbished it - & the job they did is totally first class! I was able to pop in, with family, for a quick drink, soon after it opened, & was immediately welcomed by the new hosts. The pub, itself, has-been beautifully refurbished, with an attention to detail that is amazing. Everything has been done to a wonderful quality, & everywhere I looked, there was something interesting to see, both interesting, & quirky - just my type of place!. The seating was grouped nicely, with a mixture of comfy chairs, & wooden benches, with cushions placed for comfort. I had a lovely latte, as I don't drink alcohol, but my family were served pints, that they thoroughly enjoyed, & which were well priced, too - & very tasty, they told me! Lol There was no food served there, at that time, but I think that will be happening soon - something I very much look forward to, living as closely as I do to it. The whole atmosphere in the pub, is cosy & welcoming, with enough nooks & crannies to keep things nicely intimate, without having to literally rub shoulders with your fellow imbibers. There is also a lovely beer garden at the back of the pub, which will be a wonderful spot to sit in sunny weather. I watched all the work done to create this, plus the parking area, & the new owners have done an excellent job with everything! There was a brand new block of toilets built, attached to the pub (the previous block, there, meant that customers had to brave all kinds of weather, especially in colder times). I didn't actually go in there, but have been told that it's been set up very nicely - so, if I do have occasion to need a visit, I'll update this review! 🤣 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . UPDATE: I've been back to the Red Lion four times since they opened, now - that's a record for me! Lol The first time was for the very first Sunday Lunch that was served there, & I had what must be the tastiest Roast Turkey Dinner, with ALL the trimmings, that I've had in years. The portion size was so ample, that I ended up taking half of it home with me - my visiting daughter finished it off for me Lol You have to book ahead for a place on Sundays, though, as they proved to be REALLY popular! The second time I visited, was on a Friday lunch time, when I was feeling well enough to pop over there for lunch. I had a basket meal of two fishcakes & chips. It's considered a reasonable portion for a quick lunch but, once again, I just couldn't finish it all - although I did manage to eat the two, very tasty, fish cakes that I'd ordered, & about six of the huge chips that were served with it - they all tasted so good! The third time, my family came to visit me, so we popped over for a meal together, & I had the tastiest Vegetarian Lasagne that I've ever had, apart from my daughter's - I think the Red Lion's Lasagne beat her version, as much as I love it! Lol Once again, the portions in our meals were very generous - we all ordered something different from the menu - but I actually finished most of mine, as it just tasted too good not to. I couldn't fit that last bit in, no matter what, though! Lol The last time I went over to the Red Lion, it was to join my neighbours in a quiz night - I believe these are going to be a regular thing! The pub was packed with people , & the quiz made it a fun night, with everyone taking it well if they lost. I even amazed myself at actually answering some of the questions right! Lol This quiz was a fundraiser, too, & I look forwards to joining in with more of them, as & when I'm able to! I can see the Pub becoming a real hub of the village now. The owners are wonderfully hospitable, & they're doing everything they can to entertain their customers, with a regular Open Mike night, various live singers, & many more things being planned for next year. I wish Annette & Mike all the best in their endeavour, as they deserve it, with all the hard work they've put in on the Pub! ♥️
Wonderful wonderful spot for a pint or some food, be it midday or an evening. Owners are friendly, dogs allowed, decor is snug, good pub grub menu, what’s not to like? (Also a couple of vegan options which is brilliant) Visited here twice during our week here and will be back for sure. 💯🍻
We were in the Red Lion today and had a lovely time. Beautiful place, friendly and kind staff, clean and pristinely refurbished 200 year old structure. We were traveling from Mumbles to Aberystwyth and were a bit peckish and ready for a break. We arrived around 1600 and they weren't serving food until 1700. We decided to have a quick half pint and continue our journey. The proprietor told us that they were in the process of prepping for dinner and might be able to serve us a bit earlier. The food was delicious, fresh and hot. We had a nice chat with patrons and the proprietor. Would definitely be my local if I lived in the area. Will stop here any time I am passing through. Thanks Mark! Lisa, Amy and Helen.
Great place fantastic staff and great ales if you're that way it's a must.
BRAND NEW awesome 👏 Friendly pub extremely well stocked drinks 🍺 a refreshing experience brought together by the energy and passion and creativity of the dual diversity of the openness of the rooms across the centrally located bar. Gardens outside is a nice touch for an open air drink on a glorious Welsh evening.The local location is well worth a visit the warm atmospheric atmosphere can be experienced from the minute you walk through the door.
