The Raven is positioned quite a way off Offas Dyke trail, thankfully the detour was all downhill. I cant remember a warmer welcome to a pub not just from the (volunteer) staff but from the locals. I loved this place. I sat quietly and enjoyed my cider and soaked up the atmosphere. Our room was upstairs newly refurbished we were... More

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. I was in a group of 30 people who ordered food. Food was brought out on time and was absolutely fab!! Quick service at the bar. I will definitely be coming back again. Thanks to all the staff who work at The Raven.

This is our local pub, we have no input in the running of it but attend regularly for food, drinks and village events. At the end of Jan I had my birthday gathering at the Raven, inviting friends and colleagues from far and wide. I couldn't think of a better place to have it, I wanted to show my village... More

We were part of a large group (30 adults) staff managed very well to serve all meals in good time even after offering a menu with lots of options. Food tasted good, hot, homecooked food. Gentlemen behind the bar were very friendly. Very good for price. We will be going back.

We visited the Raven for a friends birthday at the end of January.. there was 30 of us in total. The staff were friendly and attentive, also very patient as not everyone could remember their orders. We went on an oriental night and the beef curry was fabulous, the portions were just right and the atmosphere was brilliant. The place... More

We travelled to The Raven Inn in Llanarmone-yn-Lal for the New Year celebrations. What a super evening we had! We have a touring caravan on a local site & frequent this lovely friendly inn several times a month when the van season is open. The Raven is run by the locals of the village, a very friendly bunch of folk... More

Had a great meal, it was well presented and just the right amount. It is a friendly place as it is run by the locals on a volunteer basis. I have been coming to this pub for a few years now, even before it was taken over by the village. Below people are moaning about lack of atmosphere/decor, I think... More

As always, The Raven makes you feel welcome. We have been there for a meal or just for a drink on a few occasions and never been disappointed. The villagers make you welcome and the ambience in the pub is friendly & inviting. The meals are good value for money and, like other pubs, they have specialty nights, which have... More

Nice village, but the pub did look a tad shabby inside and out. The toilets a bit dirty, and no toilet roll. It could do with some cosmetic updating especially the bar area. We recently had a meal, it was cold and everything seemed to be cut into tiny pieces as if it was meant to be left overs for... More

Sorry Raven, you didn't get it quite right when we visited the pub last week. Whilst staff were friendly, there was little atmosphere, the room was dark and dreary and, whilst appreciating there had been some water leakage - the decor was very poor. The food was adequate, but quite small portions and it was disappointing to be given a... More
