We are staying in the pretty village of Llanelian so popped across the road to The White Lion. Having a dog with us, we seated ourselves in the marquee, however, I believe there is a small area inside that you can eat if you have your pooch with you.After a busy day, we ordered quickly as we were all hungry. I wouldn't normally order a roast but really fancied it, as did my partner. So, two roast beef dinners and two kids meals ordered, we sat with drinks enjoying our surroundings. After a short wait, our food arrived. It's worth pointing out that it all came out together so the kids weren't waiting. So many places seem unable to do this for whatever reason. Anyway, my first impressions were great. A very generous serving of beef, covered (but not drowning) in a rich, meaty gravy, served with roast and new potatoes and a shared veg bowl of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and red cabbage. The beef was superb. It fell apart and was simply delicious with the gravy. The veg was nicely cooked and very tasty. The dog was very lucky to try some and gave me a look of appreciation. The accompanying horseradish was excellent. I think, possibly homemade. All in all it was a fabulous main and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed eating out this much. The kids both polished off all of their tea. Enough said.We couldn't resist a look at the desert menu and after spying some of our favourites, a chocolate brownie, Barra Brith bread and butter pudding and apple pie and custard were ordered. The deserts were also superb. The Barra Brith bread and butter pudding was " amazeballs".We noticed a steady stream of customers coming in and for a Tuesday night, I think it is testament to the landlord and staff that the pub was so busy. With fantastic service and superb food, we cannot wait to go back and would highly recommend this lovely country pub.
