| This is the most upmarket of Ellesmere's pubs, and specialises in food that is both tasty and good value ,considering the size of the portions. The interior is cosy and inviting, and there are 3 or 4 ales to choose from, all of which were in good form on my visit. Carlurmston - 29 Sep 2008 17:56 |
| Whilst travelling the Llangollen Canal stayed overnight in Ellesmere on 14th September and was recommended to visit the Black Lion. 8 of us turned up unannounced and what a delight, food was first class, resonably priced and plenty of it. Service from the 2 young waitresses was excellent with no delays and the barman Bill, who has a 'Different' line in banter was a credit to the pub. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night in and visited the pub a second time with equally pleasing results. Would recommend Black Lion to anyone and will certainly return if we're in the area.

| Have been to the Black Lion a few times - was rather disappointed the last time - food arrived late, there was 4 of us and we got our meal about 5 mins apart - cold food and waitress service hopeless brutonwonder - 6 Aug 2005 05:45 |
| Agree with both the other writers. Good fair deal for the dolly here. The Boathouse Cafe on the lake (see http://travel.holidays.com/tips#t-midlands ) doesn't even let you smoke outside so its out (and I dont smoke). Yep, the Black Lion is worth a try and the location is lovely. Lakes/meres and Shropshire Union Canal and all that Keith, Isle of Man - 10 Sep 2004 14:16 |
