The Black Lion, Abergorlech

Sunday lunch is a must to try at the Black Lion. And you won't be disappointed. The staff are friendly and service is quick. There is a welcoming country feel restaurant room where dogs are allowed.
Starters are available but we went for the mains.
The family had Brisket with roast potatoes, parsnip and Yorkshire pudding. I had a homemade mushroom pastry. All were accompanied by dishes of vegetables - cauliflower cheese, mashed swede, red cabbage with pomegranate seeds, leek, courgette and kale and carrots. We even managed to polish off some delicious homemade puddings - chocolate brioche bread and butter pudding, hazelnut and coffee cream meringue, plum and apple flapjack crumble. And all very good for the price.

Called by chance, enjoyed a couple of pints of trad beer. My other half chose a coffee which was very tasty. We chatted to Lynne the owner and were made very welcome. She told us about the village and surrounding area.we then decided to stay for supper(dinner).
We were treated to some delicious bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I chose pan fried cod and my partner had the duck.
Both were served without undue delay and we agreed the dishes were exceedingly good. Very well cooked, tasty and piping hot. We each had a sweet, a trifle and rhubarb with whiskey ,ice cream etc. Excellent fare. We will return next time we are in the area. The Black Lion has free parking ,a beer garden, lunch menu and is open from 12 noon. Dinner service starts at 5.30pm. The pub welcomes, cyclists, walkers etc and is dog friendly.

Great pub in a fantastic setting, serving lovely food and great local beers and ciders. Friendly owners and staff. Walk in the forest first then 100 yards along the road for good food and a nice pint, couldn't ask for more.

Just stopped in passing for an ale, in the garden by the river. Wonderful! Bar has real old country style. We will be back for a meal - when we're back this way in a few months.

Birthday Sunday lunch for 17 bigs and 6 smalls, lots of vegans and vegetarians all catered for in fabulous fashion. Food was tasty hot plenty of it.. Our hosts and their team were excellent a big thankyou from us all for a warm welcome and a great feast highly recommended ✨

Popped in today with our two dogs, one is a reactive rottweiler but was made very welcome and did not feel uncomfortable at all. Lovely staff and food was brilliant and great value for money. Would definitely return.

Wonderful and welcoming staff who were helpful and efficient. Food was very good quality & a real treat. Good selection of ales and lagers as well as spirits and wines. Beautiful location with the forest walks just down the road. Good outdoor seating area across the road / lane. Menu was very good with a nice selection all on chalkboard both inside & in the seating area. Dog friendly.

We spent New Years Eve there. Such a lovely pub. Highly recommended
