A family booking for a table of 9 adults and 2 children. We booked on Saturday afternoon for the next day, staff were very accommodating. The food was tasty and everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks! Portions are decent too and the Sunday roasts are a winner! We will definitely be visiting again as this is our new local. Was nice to see that this pub was busy too in the restaurant and the bar! Agree with the previous comments that this pub has really improved and impressed us ?

I took a large group of friends for the £10 Fish and Chips lunch on 'Fish Friday' - slightly nervous as there was a time when this pub had a less than favourable reputation. BUT how it has changed!! The food was fantastic and beautifully presented. Julie (the lady in charge that day) was delightful - nothing was too much trouble and lunch was so enjoyable that I went back for the Sunday roast with another group of friends. I have no hesitation in recommending this pub which is now top of my list for delicious food at a great price with lovely service.

Went for lunch today with ladies from our W.I. And had a great time. We were made to feel so welcome by Julie who quickly got us organised so we could each have individual bills when we finished. The food was delicious and plenty of it. We all left feeling very full and decided we couldn’t have chosen anywhere better.

Went for a nice meal and quiz with the family. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Food was 10/10. All service received was great. The only hitch was towards the end of the evening when a couple went into the female toilets together. They were in there for quite some time. And not long after this all of us that saw them walk in quickly realised they were having a shag. “Dogging” (as my daughter-in-law would put it). Would be a solid 5 star rating overall if it weren’t for the dirty couple.

A great spot and really welcoming staff! We popped in for a couple of drinks one cold evening and were immediately impressed. Cosy, modern and clean - just what was needed! Ben behind the bar was an absolute star and great to chat to! Many thanks again - we will be back (and this time for some of the delicious looking food!)! Tim and Bex

Cracking pub with excellent food and service in a great location. The food is a cut above regular pub food as it is cooked by a proper qualified chef, but the prices are very reasonable, reflecting the relaxed atmosphere of the pub. Standout dishes are the Chicken Supreme with Roast Potatoes & Wild Mushroom Sauce, Seafood Linguini along with many others, including good quality versions of pub classics. Beer is usually Rebellion IPA and one other. They have a safe, large garden for good weather and Naphill Common/Bradenham Woods are on the doorstep. It is easily accessible, being on the 300 bus route.
We enjoyed a great lunch, food was excellent and very generous, the staff were so friendly and helpful. As a group of eight we will be back again in January for another family catch up - thanks Black Lion :)

The pub opened especially for us, and the Christmas lunch was delicious. The smoked salmon parcel with cream cheese was perfect, as was the moist, tasty turkey, trimmings and vegetables. Julie and Will went above and beyond to serve us (a party of 37), unfailingly cheerful and helpful. I highly recommend the Black Lion and I will be back.
