Having read a negative review below, I think some people either trump higher than their own fundament or simply enjoy being bilious. I've stayed at the Lion numerous times over the years and have never been left wanting. The most recent stay was a single night 29th March. I booked the room at the shortest possible notice (about eight p.m.... More

Have eaten here regularly on both Sunday (Carvery) and weekday evenings (bar menu) and food is generally of good quality and well cooked, and reasonably priced, however I have never stayed here but know the town very well and know the pub itself has a regular and sometimes loud clientelle, popular in a town with an amzing amount of pubs....

First of all I would like to appologise for not writing this review sooner as I have been stopping in the Red Lion for the best part of three years on and off as I am a contractor working in the nearby town .

We stopped for food on our way back to Aberystwyth from Shrewsbury last Sunday 6th May. Whilst the kitchen staff (They appeared to be teenage girls who in no way could be described as cooks or chefs) eventually kindly agreed to make scrambled egg on toast for our toddler (we waited 15 minutes for bar staff to wander over and...

The owners are unfriendly and unwelcoming. Arrived at a busy time of day with a case so obviously staying guests, walked past one owner standing at the door who ignored us, Went to the bar to check in, the other owner was sitting opposite having a drink and also ignored us. There was only one barmaid who was very friendly... More
