The Penhelig is one of those places that doesn't have to shout about how good it is, it just knows…read moreit. It is the best fish restaurant for miles around. You've got a choice - depending on how flush you feel - between the bar and the restaurant. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, and the word discreet springs to mind. It's very quiet, there's a fixed menu and the service is great. I found it too quiet and felt that the people that were there (mostly the retired, monied folk that live in Aberdyfi) were taking their food experience a bit too seriously. Much better to go to the small but livelier restaurant in the bar. It's cheaper, and it's the same excellent quality. The atmosphere is better too. It's quite small though and always popular so I'd recommend booking at least a week in advance if you want to eat on a Friday or Saturday night.

I'd buy a frozen one in the shop - or made my own pizza from scratch.

It's a WONDERFUL deal for the price - we got so much more than we were expecting!! And the staff was very welcoming and friendly. They made the stay all the better!

Now I am a big fan of pubs and when at my home in Wales I always go down to the same place which I…read morethink many locals do because once you have been you will want to go again as it is absolutely lovely. If you want the same thing as me which is a great atmosphere and very good food and drink then you cannot do much better than the White Lion if you do find yourself in Mid Wales and here is why. - What is the White Lion? The White Lion is a pub and I actually do think they have guest rooms there as well but I have never had the need to stay over so I am not sure what they are like or what the prices are like. Good food is served and nice drinks and the staff are great. It has a beer garden at the back which is handy when the weather gets better but inside the pub it is very spacious and the even better thing is that it is non smoking in there now which is fantastic. - Where can you find them? Their address is as follows: The White Lion, Penterhyden Street, Machynlleth, Powys, SY20 8DN When you are in Machynlleth which is a little town then you will be able to find them easily as they are right by the clock tower which is Machynlleth's centre. - The Actual Inn: From the outside it just looks like a cosy little pub. The building is white which is what you probably expected and the White Lion is displayed in huge black letters. There are a few tables outside but not many maybe ten people can sit there and then to the left of the inn you will see quite a small alley-way which is where you get to the car park. I know it looks small but we get the Jeep down there so it is ok. The car park is quite big and you can see the beer garden from there which is large with a lot of tables there which is nice when the sun shines. There are two entrances inside. The first is at the back which will take you to the main bar and eating area passed where the pool table is. Then there is the front entrance which takes you directly into the bar. The bar and eating areas are extremely clean and there are tables and chairs everywhere so you can always find somewhere to sit. The bar area is to the left which you can still eat in and the actual restaurant is to the right. You have to order at the bar when you have found a table and you will get a number and the staff will wait on you there. The decorations in the pub are quite neutral and there are many nice scenic paintings on the wall of local areas which can be bought on occasions. - Food and Drink: Drinks are quite standard but they do have a good range. You can obviously buy soft drinks and alcoholic ones and I particularly like their flavoured coffees they do. The food is very nice indeed and I have to say (touch wood) that after eighteen years of going there quite a few times a year we have never had a bad meal. We always feel confident enough to take friends there as the food is that good. The choices are quite good ranging from light meals and sandwiches to main meal such as steak and lasagne. My personal favourite is the chicken curry as you can have rice, chip and naan bread which is amazingly good. The meals are a very good size so you will not be going hungry when you have finished and we do have problems eating it all but we usually stuff ourselves as it all tastes so nice. They do have starters and also desserts but they change quite a bit. When you walk in you can also see a specials board which is always different so you can usually find the more exotic meals there. - Prices: The price of everything is quite standard with main meals being around £5 12 each and desserts being around £4. I can't remember about the starters as I don't often have them as I know how big the main courses are. The drinks are also reasonable at around £2 for a J2o and £3.50 for a glass of wine. - Staff: The staff are wonderful here and the lady that owns the place is always there and quite often sits and has a chat with us about how busy it is and how we are doing. Everybody is friendly and considering they are all rushed off their feet they never fail to smile and always take care with your food and drinks so you are getting a good level of service at all times. - Location: The location of this pub is brilliant as it is right in the centre of the town of Machynlleth so you will always be able to find parking if not at the pub at the large car park in town. Plus because it is in the centre if you go in the day you can always go shopping before or after. Plus it is nice sitting outside as you get the great scenery of all the hills around you. - Other: The pub has a great pool table but only one so it is quite hard to get on there at times. Plus the small pool room has its own little access to the bar so you can still order drinks in there while you are playing. In this room there is also a darts board and you can hire out the darts from the bar to play. - Verdict: This pub is great and I think

Sue and I stopped over at the Min-Y-Mor to grab a pint before meeting up with friends for dinner…read more This is a place she would frequent while she was over here a few years ago living with her grandmother. Located right across from the beach this would have definitely been a great place to catch the sunset over the Irish Sea. Too bad we didn't have enough time to sit here and see that on this trip. Hopefully next time. Another cask conditioned ale (Abbot) went down very easily and especially with these views of the Barmouth Beach and Irish Sea. The Min-Y-Mor has a pretty large grassy area out front (or probably back actually) with a ton of tables. You have to order inside, but you can bring your drinks out with you. Another cool local joint.

If the service had been just a bit better then this would have been a 4 star review…read more The food was very good for the price; I had the roast leg of lamb, and it was very excellent. Between the 5 of us we covered most of the menu, and no-one had a bad word to say. We didn't have any starters, and only I had a desert which was the home-made honey cake. Again, delicious. The only problem was the long time it took for our drinks and the bill to come. We also asked for more drinks during our meal, but none ever arrived. It was obvious that they were very busy, but I could see staff at the bar that I'm sure could have brought drinks over. Don't be too put off though, for the food and the price, we would definitely go back.
