The Lion And Bistro Berriew - Powys

This was a very quirky delightful hotel. The landlord and his grandson couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant. Would certainly recommend

Booked for 4 people. Rang to ask for menu’s to be emailed. They weren’t. Rang again and got them. Service was friendly enough. I thought the Christmas turkey lunch was bland and the potatoes tasted like smash (for those of you that can remember that) Didn’t offer cranberry sauce, I had to go to ask in the kitchen. Dessert was ok but the baileys and mint cheesecake tasted of mint but no baileys. Coffee was lukewarm and cold mince pies. Very disappointed overall. I think this is the worst meal we have had at the Lion in all the times we have been for lunch/dinner.

My sister booked a birthday party Saturday 10th December for 7 people. We had a lovely welcome and were shown to our table and offered drinks. We had a lovely 3 course meal, beautifully prepared and served with attention to detail with great customer service, attentive and easy going. The food was amazing, the Sea Bass main course presented on a bed of deliciously creamy mashed potato with 2 lovely roasted potatoes and superb range of seasonal vegetables, just enough, not too much! My dessert was the chocolate mousse with fruit pearls, just perfect! Amazing value!! £25ish for a 3 course Christmas meal, (not sure of the exact price as I didn't pay the bill for the food) It ticks a box for me too that it has a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 stars (2/03/20), my business being all about food hygiene! The decor is arty, different, and unconventional, and it works :D

Our group of six buddies decided to treat ourselves to a night away at this delightful hotel and bistro. Four of us had been previously but it was a new experience for my partner and me. We were not disappointed. This wonderful, quirky historical building has been beautifully decorated in the most colourful, imaginative and artistically skilled fashion, it was a joy to be involved. Our meal from the festive menu was superb and the service faultless. Right down to the brilliant evening entertainment from local musicians, we couldn't have been made more welcome or wished for a lovelier time. We also had a gorgeous complimentary breakfast in the morning. We were made to feel very special and will definitely be staying again. I would most certainly recommend this wonderful place to anyone for a visit, not to me missed!

We were holidaying in our caravan and called into The Lion for a late afternoon drink. The atmosphere was so friendly, staff lovely and accommodating that we booked in for dinner on the Saturday night. The dinner was very good, promptly served and a decent price. Will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.
