Black Lion Royal Hotel: Black Lion is Tasty

Black Lion Royal Hotel: Black Lion is Tasty, Lampeter

 Carmslass Says:  I've visited this pub on a Friday for lunch a few times recently and have had very tasty meals. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long for our meals (although it wasn't very busy so I wouldn't expect to wait). There is parking at the back. There is plenty of... 

The Black Lion Pub and Hotel: Vegetarians Beware!

The Black Lion Pub and Hotel: Vegetarians Beware!, Lampeter

 reggie_gerbil Says:  The pub looks pretty good. It's clean, with a reasonably good atmosphere. We visited for lunch, and it was quite quiet. The man who served us was courteous, but not very enthusiastic.I ordered the Quorn Thai Green Curry because I'm a veggie, and it has a big 'V' next to it... 

Dai's Diner

Dai's Diner, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  This is Lampeter's local diner. If you want something that's cheap and relatively quick but you don't want takeaway then this is the place to go. It's a little gritty around the edges, but the food is usually pretty good, as is the service. It can get really crowded at... 

Lloyd's

Lloyd's, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  Lloyd's is the local chip shop. They have a takeaway section where the menu is basically the same but cheaper and a sit-down section which is nicer but...more expensive. Actually, I could swear the food is better in the sit-down section but I seem to be the only one who... 

Sosban Fach

Sosban Fach, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  Sosban Fach is the red building across from Lloyd's (the chip shop). It's a very quaint little tearoom/cafe run by a bunch of grandmotherly women that make everything homemade and fresh. It's mostly open for lunch and breakfast and they have an everchanging board of specials... 

Royal Oak

Royal Oak, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  When I am in the mood for chips this is where I go to get my fix. I like it for a couple of reasons. One, they have a non-smoking room in the pub. The bar separates the smoking from non and while this might be likened to having a “no peeing” zone in a pool it really does cut... 

The Black Lion Pub and Hotel

The Black Lion Pub and Hotel, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  It took me a long time to try out the Black Lion because I am really more of a Royal Oak person. And when it comes to fish n chips Lloyds is the best. However, now that I have tried the Black Lion it might be difficult for me to return to anywhere else. The pub area is quite... 

Nightlife  

Ivy Bush

Ivy Bush, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  You either like it or you don't. It's a small pub with a jukebox and a pool table and mostly locals hang out in it. It's a little rough around the edges but it's quiet and you can actually have a conversation in it. Although it's tatty and it lacks the glamour of the Union... 

Local Customs  

Carreg-y-Bwci or Hobgoblin Stone

Carreg-y-Bwci or Hobgoblin Stone, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  I've been trying to find some information on this on the 'net and so far have found two references to it...The Modern Antiquarian"The Goblin Stone of Cynwyl Gaio occupied a spot which few people cared to pass at night. In the 17thC a young man who had gone far in search of...

Somerfield

Somerfield, Lampeter

 Krumlovgirl Says:  I know, I know. Listing a grocery store as a tip might sound strange, but it is an essential part of my life here in Lampeter. Somerfield is the closest grocery to the university, unless you count the Spar. (But it’s really tiny so you can’t so any major shopping there.) For...
