About
The White Lion Inn, situated on the hill of Llanelian‑yn‑Rhos just outside Colwyn Bay, is one of North Wales’ oldest gastro‑pubs. With parts of its timber‑frame dating back more than 1,200 years, the historic building retains its original charm while offering a contemporary, relaxed dining experience. Award‑winning home‑cooked dishes, a carefully curated selection of local real ales and fine wines, and a welcoming log‑fire make it a favourite for families, couples and pub‑enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re looking for a hearty Sunday roast, a cosy lunch by the fire, or a lively evening of live music, the White Lion combines tradition with modern comfort in a setting that feels like home.
