Visited The Lion today. Really superb real ale, food and service. Great selection of beer, locally sourced. Excellent steak pie and nice friendly atmosphere. A must visit.

This pub is a great find, and it turned out to be conveniently just round the corner from our holiday rental. It was our first night, so naturally we didn’t feel like cooking, and with no booking, we effectively gatecrashed their Halloween party event with everybody, turning up brilliantly dressed up in full horror fancy dress while were in civvies. Nonetheless, we received a great welcome, the excellent range of drinks was explained, and we sat down and soaked up the atmosphere. Very conscious that without a booking, we might not get served, but when we asked, they just said if we could bear with the kitchen for half an hour or so they could provide food, so we were happy to wait. Between us we had the burger, pork medallions, and the steak and ale pie. All was absolutely excellent, we really enjoyed the friendly service and the great atmosphere – really recommend anybody in this area to try the Lion.Food & drinks: Great selection of food and drinks, all the food is home-made.

Ooh this is such a good place, you should visit from all surrounding counties. For why, the beer is meticulously cared for and the food is fastidiously to die for. I was nearby for three days, went three times. Damn, got to head home now.

Went for a roast on Sunday, the food was excellent, great seasonal veg, food was hot and flavoursome, can't fault it. The service was great, nothing more we could have asked for. We've been back since and planning on going again during our stay in the area.

Booked table over 1 week ago for 5 people, had it verified and arrived to quite a hostile man presumably the owner who had no record of our booking and asked if it was verified which I showed him the proof on email, we had the meal after a lengthy wait as he said they would be very busy but could squeeze us in ! The place was half empty ! The lady at the bar was very friendly and helpful too good for that place. We were told we couldnt put the box of condiments on the next table as it would be rammed which I found amusing as it was still half empty when we left and table next to ours was still empty. The food was mediocre at best and not that hot, a shame really as on a previous visit our meal was lovely, sadly we will not return or recommend.In response to your response about my review,I did not say anything at the time as my family were with our party and did not want to make them feel uncomfortable, I did not say the food was cold, it was not hot but warm, and as I said the garden seating was empty, the front seating area was empty and the table next to ours was empty the whole time we were there. Whilst I appreciated your offer of a free meal for our party as compensation it was a bribe to offer it on the proviso of removing an honest review.
Fantastic pub, with a great selection of beers, ales and ciders. Unfortunately couldn't stay for a meal, but the menu looked very promising!

The lady at front of house was very welcoming & professional but was let down by the standard of the food.1 starter had to go back as it was inedible & the other not much better. Chef needs to understand that if you put cooked food with salad it cooks the salad which is not particularly appetising.The mains were supermarket standard ingredients cobbled together with little taste. We were table checked but decided not to complain further as it would spoil the evening.Sorry but can’t recommend eating here..
