The Black Lion in Wycombe

Good friendly Pub, large safe garden well away from the road. Serves food and large range of drinks.

Joined friends for a Sunday lunch. Ordered the full house house sunday lunch. Disappointed - the beef was not cooked, raw (not rare) in the middle,even the outside of the beef was not cooked. Everything on the plate was cold with the exception of the roast potatoes which were warm. Insufficient vegtables between guests. Not worth the money.

Second time here, it's a fantastic place with food that is amazing. Such a gem of a place. Attention to allergies was brilliant 👏 will definitely return.

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Great food and service. Nice and helpful staff. Not a great range of beers but enough. Great garden for children.

Good menu and good service. Easy parking and in summer there are plenty of outdoor seats for dining

Very disappointed and very expensive , food is tasteless and we had to wait for 45min for the food to arrive............

Took my family for a Sunday lunch and have to say it was the best roast I have had in a Long time. Could not fault it and got the black lion Full house. Will 100 % be back for another. Thank you loved it

Nice food, quiet, dog-friendly pub, with a covered smoking/vaping area outside and what would have been a nice outdoor area for drinking and eating, if the weather hadn’t been apocalyptically wet. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Would recommend for anyone in the local area. Be a little careful of the low ceiling by the bar for taller patrons, but the roof opens up nicely towards the back in the restaurant area.

On a trip down memory lane, popped into The Black Lion as it was a local for my parents from yrs ago, had a beautiful lunch served by Julie, she was so nice and helpful, very friendly and a credit to the pub! The place is very welcoming and has changed quite a bit but still evokes lovely memories 😀

We had been walking, and had booked a table for lunch. It was excellent - first class pub grub, friendly service, and great beer. What more could you want? We'll be back.

Fantastic meal last night. Steak was delicious and huge! Good choice of sauces to go with the steak, peppercorn etc were equally delicious and generous portions. Service was excellent too. Will definitely go back for more!!!! Excellent value for money.

We went Sunday roast and was amazing and very tasty, food very great since last time we come here And paella remind me of Spain We will be back

Nice pub with lovely garden. Plenty of seats and good quality beer.

Absolutely beautiful food, Julie was so friendly and accommodating. I recommend Black Lion very much and will definitely be back in the very near future. Weather was perfect so enjoyed sitting out. Thank you 👌

Great beer garden and kid friendly. Otherwise a typical pub.

Food was SUPERB, hot tasty , great chips, lovely cooked cold ham , plenty of food - great salad dressing too . Gave three stars for atmosphere as it was very quiet which is a shame as food faultless . Will go back ! Great wine nicely priced

Came along for a few drinks, there was a private party going on but the staff were amazing. They were busy but very efficient and the service was fantastic! Ben, (I think the landlord) was great, remembering our drinks and super helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends!

Very lovely place for family visit , plenty of space for kids to play!

Generous and filling portions. Well cooked food - family and dog friendly village pub.

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 😊

We have just had lunch at The Black Lion.What a wonderful experience.Freshly cooked food,tasty,delicious and presented beautifully.A very warm welcome from Julie who also looked after us throughout our stay.A great big thankyou to Tania and Alex in the kitchen who cook the food we so enjoyed.(excellent Vegetable soup). Such a change to have happy pleasant people around .A gentleman called Ben served our food..so helpful. Thankyou all..we will be back!

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.

I have lived in Naphill for 22 years, The Black was never my local, due to previous owners/landlords. I have to say the new Manager, Ben, makes you feel very welcome. Such a friendly place. I now come a few nights a week.

Went with a party from W.I.for a fish and chip lunch. Were made very welcome by Julie with plenty of laughter and a lovely lunch. Would recommend this pub/restaurant to anyone.

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.

We went for dinner on Valentine's Day - the food was excellent. Opted for the Chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection. All the portions were generous. Staff were attentive and friendly. Such a shame that there weren't more people there!! This place deserves to be busier.

Visited the Black Lion Pub on Wednesday and received a very warm welcome with good service and good food.

We went to the Black Lion in Naphill Sunday for a Sunday roast. Good selection of food, starters main and dessert. The service was efficient, fast and pleasant. I have gluten intolerance but found plenty of choices. I had chicken supreme. Nice tasty portion of chicken, vegetables and both gravy and Yorkshire pudding were gluten free. There were two choices of GF desserts. I had sticky toffee pudding... delicious. The price was excellent. The area is really nice. Plenty of walks (when the weather is warmer!). I really recommend a visit.

Had the senior lunch today .Great value and the food was excellent .Unfortunately i did not get the ladys name that served us. She was so friendly and helpful. The place was spotless clean we would highly recommend it. We will definitely be back

The food was incredible here, service was 10/10 highly recommended

Love the atmosphere, the great people, the service is nice.

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 :)

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.

First real English meal and what an impressive beginning to the trip! Service was so friendly and efficient in a relaxing and casual ambiance. The dishes we got were sooo hearty and reminded us of comfort food. REBELLION BEER BATTERED FISH AND CHUNKY CHIPS Crispy layer of beer batter with just enough salt and pepper to go with the tender bite of fish. The chunky chips were crispy on the outside and had a bite similar to mashed potatoes, so delicious. The lemon tartar sauce went very nicely with it. That fresh squeeze of lemon juice over everything was just Chef’s Kiss. SLOW ROASTED LAMB RUMP The lamb was roasted for six hours in red wine and shallots for a delicately, earthy flavor. The meat just melted in your mouth with every forkful. The lamb was served on a tasty bed of fluffy, garlic mashed potatoes. The red wine sauce drizzled on complimented everything perfectly. RIBEYE STEAK Classic steak done right with all the right searing and flavoring. Every bite was juicy and delicious. The roasted vine tomatoes were a great touch. The fries were done English style, so tasty. All I can say is: so English and so damn good.

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.

Staff were excellent, especially the fantastic Julie. A lovely Christmas lunch had by all. Naphill neighbours will be back again soon. Jo x

Lovely pub with good atmosphere, lovely food and excellent friendly staff, especially Julie who was attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely traditional country pub with logs on the fire, a good selection of beers and wholesome food served by Julie the welcoming host

Friendly staff and clientele, good atmosphere, great beer, great pub, has good bands from time to time 👍😀

Good choice lunch menu. Well presented tasty food especially the bubble and squeak and the scampi and chips. Didn't same desserts. Friendly welcoming and attentive staff. Dog friendly. Will certainly be back.

Dog friendly pub, food and service was excellent.

With very welcoming staff and locals, The Black Lion is always a relaxed and comfortable place to be. A family pub with Friendly staff, good food, wide variety of larger, ales, wines and spirits. Great atmosphere all round.

Went there on Sunday, had 1 of the best roast dinners I've ever had. Lovely pub with a nice big garden aswel. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Outstanding pub, where the staff are so helpful and friendly! The food was amazing and great value for money. The outside space is large and great for our kids to play. We had our sons birthday party there with a bouncy castle and it was...

Never had such beautiful presentation of food, and the food was beautiful. This pub is a hidden gem and probably one of the best of its kind in the Chilterns. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

Such a lovely find. Julie was extremely welcoming and made our visit very pleasurable. Sarah was phenomenal in the kitchen and of course we had the pleasure of meeting Luke the guard dog. Will be back for the charity night. If not before.

Took a short evening trip to the Black Lion. Were visiting from Germany. We really liked it. There is a large selection of drinks, very nice staff. There was a live band playing that evening and they were great.

Had a lovely lunch on Saturday with special friends- food was excellent and good value - service very friendly - will definitely be back Geoff

We ate here mid week and I must say the food was excellent,the seafood linguine was so tasty, my husband had the burger, which looked amazing, I highly recommend a visit, very friendly staff, great atmosphere,lovely evening 😊

Beautiful pub with lovely food. If where ever in the area again we will return. Small car park, so get there early. We enjoyed a meat Sunday dinner for £19.95. All fresh ingredients and no frozen veg! Highly recommend.

This is a great all round family place, the work staff are amazing and are always attentive. Food is absolutely beautiful not your typical’pub food’ And a very big Thankyou to the manger BEN who was just fantastic very personable and kind. Would recommend to anyone

Food really good and the service excellent. Parking also good.

A lovely welcome no problem with grandson and pushchair nice table good food and a decent real ale first class we will be back, made our bank holiday Monday afternoon special thank you

Shocking food just plain burger overcooked in stale bun.asked for extra salad instead of fries and got lettuce only. All this for £11:95

Popped into the Black Lion for food and a drink, we had no booking. What lovely ,friendly, welcoming staff. Meals were really good as well. Lovely garden for children .Will definitely be returning.

I have been here a few times now, and the service by the staff is always best, and the food is even better! definitely get the portion sizes for your money.

I never leave reviews via google but had to share…. I haven’t been to this pub in at least a couple of years, was not a great experience (both service and food) BUT had family from Canada visiting - it was local for us so decided to check out the the menu, get a drink and decide whether to stay or go . I am so happy I did. It’s back and dare I say better than ever!!!!!! Under new management the staff were prompt, friendly and knowledgable. The food (we went today - Sunday) was amazing! One of us had the beef roast (said it was so tender), two had sausage and mash, and I had a burger, it was delicious! Couldn’t be more thrilled, down the street, dog friendly, and back to a little local gem! If you haven’t been under new management - please give it another go! We’ll for sure be repeat customers, only sad we hadn’t tried it again sooner! Well done guys!

The food was delicious, it came out in good time. We sat outside, great beer garden and plenty of space

Visiting just for the day, never been to this pub before. Called in without booking on a hot August weekday for lunch. A very warm and friendly welcome from Julie; despite being very busy herself - she always had time to chat and make us...

Really lovely breakfast, charming décor and atmosphere, and superb, friendly service to top it off!

Amazing establishment, me and my girlfriend came down. The food was exquisite and the drinks were well priced too, the nice manager with the beard was extremely helpful in providing service to us and overall he was a good laugh, loved that guy will definitely be coming back!!

Had the pensioners’ lunch with friends. Delicious food, great value. Julie and Will were really good, with both service and friendliness. Will be back!

Took a new born here in a desperate attempt to give the wife time to nap back at home. Landlady could not have been nicer. There's a sort of summer house in the beer garden which allows you to still outside and entertain aforementioned screaming...

Staff here was amazing .. food nice ..lovely pub ..

Thank goodness there is one venue in the area that knows the meaning of customer service. Took French friends there and we placed our order in advance and it was served to us 10 minutes after our arrival. Staff always helpful, friendly and pleasant.

Poor inexperienced service, food very average and not very reasonable. Such a pity, as this used to be such a great pub.

Haven't been here for a year, very disappointed with the service and food. Not sure if there's a new management team in, but I won't be rushing back. Shame.

Food was really good and all the staff were really friendly. Ben the general manager could not have done more. I will definitely be returning.

Excellent. Been there twice now this time sat in the garden. Enjoyed lunch both times. Julie was very helpful. Well worth the journey.

Amazing service and well done for watching the development of young people. Great service from David, we came in late and although he was due to close they did Sunday lunch 5 mins to 5, we were spoiled on service and food.

Great roast, lovely staff, didn’t mess around with the portions, what’s not to like. Nice on a sunny day, good local pub.

Great pub for dog/kid walks with access from the woods/common at the rear of the large kid friendly beer garden. Nice pint of rebellion too.

We visited the Black Lion on Sunday with our 12yo son. The staff were friendly and helpful. We all had the beef roast, which was lovely. The meat was so tender and perfectly medium-rare. The vegetable sides were generous and delicious. My husband loved the...

Mother's Day lunch was superb with great service. Thank you !

Superb food and service on one of the busiest days of the year. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful, the food was served hot and in good time, Thank You Black Lion ! ❤️👍

A wonderful meal on Mothers Day. Food was lovely - served hot and well presented. Staff were friendly and efficient despite a very busy afternoon. The gift for the mothers was a nice touch and much appreciated.

This is a fantastic pub. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff really helpful. The food was fantastic and could not be faulted, beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. I would strongly recommend this pub to others and very much worth a visit.

Just had dinner here for Mother’s Day normally the food is nice however our table was half an hour late and food took over an hour to get to us. Roast potatoes were hard only a dribble of gravy and chicken was rubbery. Normally the pub is quite however I feel they tried booking to many in to make up there shortfall and unfortunately this had a knock on effect with food and service.overall very disappointing

Food, staff, ambiance are all lovely! Highly recommend and noticeably good value!

Despite the cold weather it was a busy Sunday at the pub but we had booked a table. Food delicious and great portions with excellent side of vegetables to accompany our roast dinners. Good value. Dog friendly. Nice big garden!

Just had impromptu late lunch, quite delicious , fabulous friendly service with an excellent Italian lager , highly recommend

Amazing food although service was a little slow

Food is good, had the roast lamb shank, beautifully cooked roast potatoes, carrot and parsnip. Cabbage, cauliflower cheese and broccoli served in separate dish. Offered a good variety. Friendly, efficient staff, had to head to the bar for the bill. Decent playground, goal post and space outside for kids to play and kick a ball. Clean toilets.

Went here with my daughter and baby grandson. Service was so friendly and helpful. Made to feel really at home Food was amazing! We had 3 courses and all were presented beautifully and tasted delicious Lovely interior lay out. And great garden for when we...

Came here for lunch with my Mum and young son. The menu is great, and the food was delicious. The menu was reasonably priced and the facilities are good. I am really happy that they had a baby changing area! The garden looks fab and...

Popped in here for lunch with friends, cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of food, which was very tasty and quickly prepared. In particular the ultimate burger was a feast for the eyes, although I didnt have that. My bangers and mash was very tasty. If you're in the area, we'll worth a visit.

Enjoyed a great lunch. Usual pub lunch fare but very well done. Excellent friendly service from Julie.

We love the Black Lion. The staff are always so welcoming & accommodating. Always get a fabulous meal here too. Have recommended to many people. Thankyou again Black Lion & team for a lovely afternoon, see you soon.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends - food was excellent and very friendly service - will definitely be back

Fantastic pub with excellent food and efficient service. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. A lovely, relaxed atmosphere added to providing us with a really enjoyable evening with friends. We will definitely return to sample Sunday lunch! Would highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful service- extremely friendly and efficient couldn’t have been any better! To top it off the food was delicious, would highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal and an enjoyable evening. The staff were very attentive to our needs, overall a smashing experience. Oh and by the way the toilets were fine in my opinion and I'm really fussy!

Nice place with some good beer and larger

Delicious food and very friendly, patient staff. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🤶
