Fantastic local pub with great atmosphere, friendly staff, nice clientele.
First Sunday of every month there is a jazz act from 1:30-3:30pm and every Friday and Saturday from 9pm there is live music - featuring some fantastic cover bands.
There is also a pub quiz, food and craft beers and ciders available!
Highly recommend, especially the music events.
We love the Lion, the beer is impeccably kept and there are lots of real ales. The food is good and very popular. There are regular quizzes and live music at the weekends. The pub attracts a diverse customer base, a real social mix of ages and background and I think this adds to the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It's also very much a dog pub, there are dog beds available and dog snacks too. I thoroughly recommend a visit to The Lion.
It's a lovely pub, has lots of board games, is quite spacious, the toilets are very clean (you have no idea how many pubs are excellent until you go to the toilets)., there is often live music ,Great selection of beers and the food is delicious and comes quite quickly. Had a burger and it was one of the best I've ever had.
Splendid choice of real ale and cider. Other drinks are available. Food freshly cooked. The Lion also supports live music.
Went here to see a band that my mate knew. I'd only been here once, during lockdown when everyone was forced to sit outside, and I'd been itching to go back since (the beer garden is EXCELLENT but I like the cosiness of a pub indoors as well).
The only pub I've been to with a well 😂, this seemed to be used as extra seating and as a place to rest one's beer during the gig.
It's a beautiful pub, has lots of board games, is quite roomy, the toilets are very clean (you've no idea how many pubs are excellent until you go into the toilets).
We ordered some food, which is reasonably priced. We couldn't find food service info online so I've included pictures of the menu, which also includes the service times. We wanted the nachos, but they were off the menu. So asked for loaded fries but couldn't have our first and second choices. It turned out they either had no cheese or didn't have the facilities to offer melted cheese - to be fair, this was at 8:45pm on a Saturday night and they only do roast dinners on Sundays, so perhaps they'd just run down their supplies until they would be replenished on Monday. We had the Mexican hot fries and they were very good.
My only criticism is that the tables are insanely sticky. We were told this was down to the sanitiser that is used, but they were sticky to the point that we couldn't put anything on them - no phones, no arms - and when we used the Nottingham Drinker magazine so we could put things on the table, it took the paper off the magazine when we lifted it off the table. Surely that isn't right.
Anyway: amazing pub, if you haven't been then go, go, go!
