The Lion Pub in Surbiton

27 Wick Rd, Teddington TW11 9DN

About This Pub

Ah, The Lion – it's one of those hidden gems tucked away in Teddington that really hits the spot for a proper pub experience. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food stands out as a real winner; their Sunday roasts are spot on, with generous portions and some brilliant veggie alternatives that even the pickiest eaters would enjoy. It's clear the team there puts in the effort to make everyone feel at home, whether you're popping in with the family or just for a casual catch-up – they're ace at handling things like food intolerances and keeping things cheerful. On the downside, you might notice the drinks edging towards the expensive end for London prices, and there have been a couple of mentions about service dragging a bit or dishes not quite living up to expectations, like a steak that ended up more well-done than planned. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after good grub and a relaxed atmosphere, but maybe plan for a budget-friendly round or two to keep things balanced – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area!

EXCELLENT FOOD! Standard drinks options at normal London prices, but the food was fantastic! We had Sunday roast for three and it was delicious and there was more than enough food. Our vegetarians had some good options: the veggie"fish and chips" was fantastic. They do offer a full vegetarian "roast dinner " but you have to book it 48hrs in advance and we only booked the day before.

I was the winner of a competition to win 20 pints, during the annual beer festival that they held this weekend. I was delighted with the news, and brought my family down to appreciate it in their beer garden. We were greeted very nicely, And generally had very good service. I was welcomed by the owner, who was a helpful and very friendly gentleman. There was a wide range of beer and cider to sample, And we had a great time. The food was very good. And in particular the roast chicken was brilliant. The meat fell off the bone beautifully. Only one small! Niggle was that the waitress seemed to struggle with our big order (7 of us) and didn't write anything down, So we did have some issues with what arrived at our table. This was rectified on the bill and so was fine. Otherwise we had a brilliant experience and I would highly recommend

A very nice large pub hidden away in a side street. The staff were super friendly and the food well cooked but the drinks were a little toppy

We had a fab roast here today! They were really accommodating for the children and the roast was amazing, really tasty, lots of food and they are doing 25% off in sept which was a bonus. Really impressed that the chef came out to discuss out kids' food intolerance and worked around it to give a safe and yummy meal for them. Highly recommend!

This is the second time I've come here , for my birthday no less. The first time was a solid 4 stars , I will not come back now, the service was slow, my steak was over cooked, medium rare to well done. My partner's veggie burger so mushy it could have been soup ,We asked to return a Drinks order which as wrong to be told .... It wasn't . When you could grab a waiter down orders were forgotten or so late it was far faster to go to the bar ,so we eventually just did . Everyone's chips were soggy and school dinner style . My guess is they were sat under a heat lamp ... not good enough especially for the price .. Avoid
