The main feature is the home cooked food which is served every day. The music in the background does not impose itself. The Howard Miller skeleton long case clock is a notable feature.
The station for the Cambrian Heritage Railways is nearby. This is formed on the trackbed of the former Cambrian Railways line which ran from Whitchurch to the Irish Sea at Aberystwyth!. And as to the name Llynclys, "Llyn" is the Welsh word for lake, and Llynclys Pool still lies near to the village. "Clys" was thought to be derived from "llys", (Welsh for "palace" or "court"), and the lake, supposed to be of extraordinary depth, was said to contain a drowned city or palace with various legends attached to it. This serves as a reminder that hereabouts. the very penetrable national frontier is close by!
There's a building attached to the pub which apparently used to serve as a brewery up to the 1950's! In its time the pub has been owned, not only by the Wrekin Brewery of Wellington,but was also a part of the extensive local estate of the Shrewsbury & Wem Brewery.
Friday lunch at the White Lion was excellent. Two beef briskets, followed by banoffee pie for one of us and waffles with toffee and caramel for the other. Food cooked and prepared beautifully and mains served on hot plates! Well done to Owen for the great service and welcome. Would recommend a visit to anyone.
Excellent food, staff service and reasonably priced as well
Lovely atmosphere. Very nice old school background music. Were informed by the staff about food delay, in the end food arrived faster than we expected. Nice design, everything is clean and tidy. Ladies room had some necessary ladies things too. Would highly recommend.
Went here for a spot of lunch my husband had a sausage and red onion baguette with fries I had a tuna baguette with fries. There were two sausages on my husbands baguette and when I asked if this could be made better we were told this is the portion for a baguette! It was £8 for two sausages on a crusty roll and a few chips! Not impressed with the portions or the service! Won’t be going again
We called in for lunch yesterday and the food was amazing! I had the cod, prawn, lemongrass and coconut fishcakes and hubby had the slow cooked smoked brisket. Both were excellent and cooked to perfection

In August 2015, this much loved local was converted into a trendy American Hamburger restaurant by new management However, in June 2016 another change of management took it back to being a traditional pub.

The Black Horse is very much the village local although the quality of its Sunday carvery brings in customers from further afield.
