White Lion, Colwyn Bay

lovely pub in a really nice village, hasn't changed much since the 70s.Thefood and service are really great, there is also traditional welsh singing on some Saturday nights.

“What a gem” On a recent trip to Snowdonia I found the White Lion through the Good Pub Guide. Although in a tiny village it is only 5 minutes from the A55. The White Lion is everyone’s dream of their perfect local; beautiful setting, Real Ale, excellent wines, roaring open fires, friendly staff and superb food. I had the Welsh Lamb Shoulder, the best I have ever tasted. Talking with the landlord, Simon, I was assured that wherever possible all their ingredients are locally sourced and prepared on the premises. Their food is described as traditional home cooking and it is a perfect description. Anyone visiting North Wales must add this pub/restaurant to their itinerary. Next door is the Historic Village Church and records show there has been a place of worship there since 540AD, you should try and have a look around whilst you’re there. Alas I had to leave to continue my journey but it would have been all too easy to stay all day. Well done Simon & Nina for creating such a brilliant atmosphere well removed from the plastic chain pubs we see everyday. Visited April 2011 segara87
