The Black Lion in Wycombe - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Everyone in this pub is lovely, it’s a wonderful little community asset where you can pop in have a chat, read a book, enjoy quiz, comedy, music or even art evenings as well as something tasty to eat. Big shout out for Lanc. sauce flavoured crisps too - it’s the attention to detail that counts!

Festive menu, excellent food and good value. The seabass was delicious!!! Good to see the pub getting busier and also having good reviews.

Yay, it’s good to be back and enjoying fabulous feast. The roast beef Sunday lunch was delicious. Mark is going to be a great asset and Ben produced a truly tasteful crumble. the company want bad either

The new chef has arrived and today was the first Sunday roast. I had the pork and it was spectacular. Perfectly cooked with crackling, roast potatoes, cauliflower, parsnips, Yorkshire pudding with parsnip crisps and thick, unctuous gravy. I’ll be back.

Lovely food, friendly service. Simple menu but good home cooked food. Found by chance coming off the motorway for some food rather than the services. Great find!

Sunday roast was excellent. We had lamb and beef both lovely and tender. The cauliflower cheese side was to die for. We will be booking again.

Really lovely Sunday lunch. Great service and great food. We had the roast lamb and roast beef, which was tender and tasty. Love coming to the Black Lion!

Had lunch here with the extended family to celebrate Mother’s Day. It’s a small pub with garden & car park at rear. Given the day the place was very busy & although run off their feet the staff were very friendly, service was a bit slow though. Food on the whole was good although one main course had to go back as the beef was undercooked. No major problems though, so nice food, rebellion beers friendly staff it’s worth popping in.

Excellent! The Sunday lunch was the best I've had in ages. I had a starter of the scotch egg and a main of Porchetta which was stunning. The accompanying vegetables including red cabbage was a delight, The Rebellion beer is top-drawer and the wine list is good too. Will definitely be back

4 of us have just had the roast beef at this pub. We all agreed it's the best roast dinner we've had. Tender meat, lovely crispy roast potatoes, amazing gravy, nice mix of vegetables and cauliflower cheese as a side. Dessert was great too. The service was also excellent.

Delicious food, really friend staff and wonderful welcoming atmosphere. Brilliant location for a Sunday roast

Friendly bunch with exquisite food selection. Chef Emily is nice and bubbly, dog friendly highly recommend. It's a home from home!

We had the loveliest experience at the black lion. I rang ahead, as 3 of us are vegans, to ask if they had an option for us for the meal. The lady was so lovely on the phone and said to tell us what meal we would want to eat from the menu and the chef would happily make a vegan version for us. We all picked a main meal, but when we got there, they had got so many lovely extras. They made sure there was vegan mayo (which was an amazing surprise) and they got in a vegan crumble so we could all have dessert. They even got us vegan chocolates to have when they brought us the bill. Overall the food was amazing, the service was lovely and they made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend.

We just returned to this wonderful little gem after a few years. It’s now under new management and, have to say that it’s a whole brave new world! Friendly team, delicious food, very expansive menu. Wine list also has some select choices and very good value. Quiz night on Thursday is highly recommended! An all- round wunderbar experience!

We have now been here twice for a Sunday roast and both times we were greeted warmly, given attentive but not overbearing service and treated to such wonderful food. The portions are ample but can also be boosted with the addition of side orders, the cauliflower cheese was a hit with us all. Dessert selection catered to all tastes but sticky toffee pudding was the clear winner for us. We certainly can’t wait to come back and introduce friends

Apart from the atmosphere here, created by Glenn, Mike and all the staff it is a great place to spend an evening or indeed have a Sunday lunch. The food is truly awesome I have had quite a few meals here now and everyone is a delight to the pallet. I always leave feeling special, a great pub.

The Black Lion had been recommended to me by friends and did not disappoint.The three of us had different starters, mains and deserts and every dish was excellent and very well presented. The staff were friendly and were able to help us in selecting our food and drink. I’ll be back soon.

Had a fabulous birthday lunch, best chicken Caesar salad I’ve ever had!! Rounded off with a lovely chocolate cheesecake 😊

Went to the Black Lion pub for lunch today (25/06/22) and all i can say is the food was fabulous, the place is relaxing and we were greeted with a very warm welcome. Will definitely be back again soon.

I did get a roast once upon a time and it was very nice however, chance would be a fine thing these days. I have tried to visit twice on a Sunday for a roast however have been turned away being advised that they are...

Enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal for Fathers Day with all my family. Food was excellent. First time we had visited the pub, but found all the staff really friendly and helpfully.

Really tasty food and friendly service. We had the burger and fish and chips and both were really good. Great presentation, good flavours, and the gent behind the bar was really attentive and friendly.

Being one of our local pubs and one we visit regularly its a shame to see the "restaurant" side has let them down massively. The service was shambolic, taking 2h 30... almost 3 to receive 2 shared starters alongside 3 burgers and a steak. The...

I’ve been a few times and the food is incredible, always. I came tonight for the quiz night. It was a lovely environment, the staff were really helpful and advised on great wine. I love this place!! We’ll worth a visit

Absolutely freezing and no atmosphere what so ever ,bar man served the drinks and never said another word . Not welcoming and cold . No wonder this place is empty

A fantastic Sunday roast!! Beef was brilliant quality as were the veg. Considering we came at 4pm (when most pubs finish or the roasts are poor quality) the food was 5star! We will come most Sundays as it’s just delightful. Congratulations to Emily the chef,...

We visited the Black Lion today for Sunday roast. Wow - the food was absolutely phenomenal! We had the smoked mackerel pate, the blue cheese creme brûlée, roast beef and chicken. Everyone in our group agreed it’s the best Sunday roast we’ve had out, and...

Dinner at The Black Lion tonight was phenomenal. There is no other word. I had the parfait then the steak. This is a steak I swore I would never eat again as it was too ‘horsy’. They proved me wrong! Photos do not do justice...

Outstanding meal, we had the plaice and burgers followed by sticky toffee pudding and Blackwell tart, pastry was perfect. Emily the Chef is fantastic! Highly recommend.

We had a late lunch and the food was fantastic it was only a sandwich but fresh chicken and stuffing. Must mention the onion rings they were amazing Thanks to Will who looked after us and well done for playing Meatloaf music. Recommend for drinks...

Lovely welcome when we arrived, we were there for Steak night and the food was great. The chef has a real talent and came out to all diners to chat after the meal.

Wandered into this very friendly pub on our walk along the river path. We were welcomed warmly despite our muddy boots and were pleased to see local Rebellion beers on tap. We sat by the fire and chatted to the staff and other customers -...

Met up with a friend for lunch with my children. First time in this pub and strongly recommend it! We will be going back. Excellent food, great atmosphere and cask ales excellently kept

Delicious food with a really top class menu. Four of us ate 3 courses and we all had something different but could not fault a thing and sent back 12 empty plates! Highlights for me were the liver parfait and the poussin, absolutely fantastic. A...

I haven’t been to the Black Lion for many years but having seen recent reviews I suggested it as a venue for my friends and I to have a Christmas get-together. It did not disappoint! We chose from the 3 course Christmas menu and it...

When it comes to roast dinners, I'm one fussy git... I've tried everywhere round the area but that was beautiful!!! Beef that melted in your mouth and a lovely bit of veg.. gravy that compared to my (mums) roast and that's saying something... massive shout...

We popped in after the community market for a Saturday lunch and we’re pleasantly surprised. Friendly service and good menu and selection of ales. We had the fish finger sandwich and club sandwich and both were great. Chips were also top class and everything was...

The food is outstanding, you can tell Emily is a great chef, the quality that comes out the kitchen Shows her quality. I had the potted crab and steak and my goodness I don’t think I can ever have a shop bought crumpet again!

Wonderful small country pub. Had dinner here recently and was so good. Lovely welcoming staff Will defo be back soon

Impromptu visit after the cinema. Great service and the food was super. So much so we booked for Sunday lunch.

Under new ownership with a new chef we tried the Black Lion out for a Sunday roast and were not disappointed! Cauliflower cheese alongside is a must!

We have been twice now, one in the middle of the week and once for Sunday lunch, food was absolutely fantastic

We are lucky in Bourne End with a great range of eating and drinking establishments and the newly taken over Black Lion more than holds its own. Friendly staff, dog welcoming and with a great range of beers and wines at fair prices is always...

I recently visited the Black Lion with family for a Sunday dinner. The roast pork was so tasty and everything was so flavoursome. There was even a bit of crackling with the roast too! It was excellent value and I couldn't eat for the rest...

Friendly staff, lovely food. Worth booking in advance for this one. Pub has recently been refurbished and has new owners.

Really delicious food with a twist. As a family we had fish and chips better than we ever tasted before. A cheeseburger that the teenager said was the best he’d ever had. Poussin which was lovely and a delicious homemade pie. Some lovely and unusual...

Having recently re-opened under new ownership we were keen to try the food having heard chef Emily had a great reputation We were not disappointed - the menu provides plenty of choice and includes pub classics and few twists too The marmite and cheese twists...

Fantastic atmosphere lovely food . Shows all the the sports and is also a dog friendly pub . Would definitely recommend

New management!! Whoop whoop The new manager Ella was a breath of fresh air. The decor is now very modern. The food is great. It’s got a real pub/restaurant feel after a long time being lost. A real asset to Bourne End. Well done Black...

Lovely local pub. Great selection of beers. Friendly bar staff and amazing food. I had the burger which I would thoroughly recommend. Well worth a visit! 5 stars

Visited here today with the family ! The roast dinners were amazing, excellent portions and great price! Highly recommend

We regularly go here either to have a drink or two or to eat. The food is amazing as are Mark and Zoe. This is a real local friendly pub which has kept a village atmosphere.The pizzas are enormous, but there are other dishes on...

Really Good . Will visit again . Value for money. Ticked all the boxes well prepared food . Decent wine , well priced. Well kept beer. Friendly staff and clean toilets. Will go again soon

I often stop for a pint of local Rebellion beer in this great little pub (good pizzas too, but that’s another story) We went for a roast with my parents this Sunday after a walk along the river to work up an appetite. Roast shoulder...

For any visitor to the UK and if anywhere close this is one of a dying breed. A local. We had these places up and down the country. A place where "locals" go for a pint, meet and mix with neighbours. Over the years pubs...

A lovely traditional pub with a welcoming fire and the best Sunday roast in the area! Generous portions at affordable prices and the roast potatoes are delicious. The landlord and staff are very friendly and will certainly be getting my custom again.

I used to visit this pub quite often for a working lunch as they had an excellent value range of sandwiches and jacket potatoes. Then they went through a phase of not having a chef around at lunch, which stopped me from going. I have...

Having moved to North Wales recently we go out for lunch every Sunday and have always had great lunches. On a visit to London last Sunday we stopped at the Black Lion, Big Mistake!! The vegtables were raw and only a few degrees above cold,...

Have been here before for evening drinks but thought we'd try the Sunday lunch which is served until 6pm. We were not disappointed. The food was typical pub grub and great value for money. Would return.

What a great pub steeped in history that caters as well for locals as it does visitors. It is a traditional Pub offering a good selection of draft ales and lagers, with a comprehensive food menu all at very reasonable prices for the area. For...

Éramos un grupo de 18 años y pre-ordenados por un tiempo fijo. La comida era tarde y venía en lotes. Terminado la mía antes que otros de ellos recibido. La comida era horrible. Tibia y aunque sabroso, había muy poca carne en el pastel de carne con cerveza. El puré no era de mi gusto (blandas y suaves), era demasiado húmedo. Las verduras era guisantes. No es emocionante. Estábamos muy estrecha en las mesas. Una pena porque el personal era amable.

Para un asado un salto domingo hace unas pocas semanas, que era de primera categoría y buena relación calidad-precio, así que pensé que lo intentaría de nuevo anoche. Fantástica opción en el menú, y todos a precios razonables. La comida era genial de nuevo en abundancia, encargado parece un tipo muy servicial y es un buen pub, mesa de billar, perros y un fuego y una gran variedad de cervezas. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? Volveremos. . . . . .

La primera visita fue increíble, y ya hemos de volver para un segundo asado los domingos.

Fuimos en un grupo de cuatro personas, dos de nosotros tuvimos que comer sin gluten. Estamos encantados de cómo ayudar, él registró de Mark fue los ingredientes en los artículos antes de que comieron. La comida era muy fresca y sabrosa, sin duda volveré con confianza.

Many thanks to the staff at the Black Lion , we popped in here on our way back from a very pleasant walk in Marlow and asked if they could accommodate my wife and sister in law with any thing gluten free, well they bent over backwards to cook some very lovely food for us all nothing was too much trouble

We visited here after a visit in the locality. The owner / chef couldn't have been more helpful. He checked all ingredients for the coeliacs in the group even making a fruit platter for our dessert. The men in the party were pleased with the portion size and the choice of beers. Definitely a pub to revisit.

A great local. The pub is small and very friendly with a range of excellent beers and lagers. The food is exceptionally good and they often have home cooked specials which are really good value. If visiting Bourne End or live in the area it's well worth a visit.

This one is well worth a visit , didn't have time to eat but what was coming out of the kitchens looked very well presented , had a couple of good pints on the pleasant rear terrace but will be making an effort to come back and eat .

What a find! We started going here for the beer which comes from an excellently managed cellar. The variety of wine available is also excellent, and considring the landlord used to work for a vinyard in France is evidence of this - point to mention is that not ALL the wine is French, but the choice is extensive. Whe had a meal there last night, and the Rib Eye Steak was probably the best steak we have ever had - it is sourced from just along the road and couldn't be more local. It was cooked to perfection, and melted in the mouth, I'm salivating just thinking about it! I will most certainly be going there to not only drink, but eat again. Everyone in the bar were lovely, and the atmosphere is also very welcoming. I can't recommend this any more than I have here, and want more people (but not too many) to discover this wonderful gem in Bourne End.

You really can't go wrong here, staff are great, traditional locally sourced pub grub with some surprises, the new sharing platter is good, good beers with a ever changing supply of ales and great wines. Thursday quiz night is always popular along with the steak night and Sunday roasts. Great local pub

Never been there before but was recommended the Sunday lunch by a friend. Accommodated 7 of us on Mothering Sunday and glad we booked an early slot as they were, to be fair, a little overwhelmed as it became very busy as the day wore on. Nevertheless the food was excellent, surroundings very atmospheric with roaring fires. We were asked how many mums there were and on being told there were 3 we were presented with complimentary large glasses of Procecco which I thought was a very nice and unexpected touch. This delightful pub is just that. A pub that sells very good and very well priced food and local beer, not a fine dining experience as some on that Sunday seemed to expect. Remember you have to order from the bar!

Excellent Sunday roast with friendly service. Comfortable seating, open fires, pool table and outside seating area

We went here for Sunday lunch and were throughly impressed! The food was something out of a multiple star restaurant not a pub which was very nice and surprising! I would 100% recommend this pub to someone and will be going back again soon!

Great food at a good price - service was a little slow but I think they were short staffed - it didn't matter though because we were with friends.

A Sunday roast and starter for a tenner - excellent. Beef as succulent and tasty. Good separate serving of freshly cooked veg.

14 of us visited this pub, which is very close to where we live. The staff were friendly, accommodating and very helpful. They had set up 2 tables (one for adults and one for teenagers) in the room, to the right of the bar. There was enough space for everyone. Due to the fact that it was Christmas, they had a set menu with enough choices so that we could all have what we would like. The sea bass was fantastic, as was the chocolate pudding. For the 4 of us with drinks the bill was £89, which I thought was great value. I would certainly recommend this pub again. It was busy with other locals that we knew and the atmosphere was pleasant. They have a pool table for those who like to play, an open fire in the main bar area and plenty of parking at the rear. The pub has changed hands many times over the years, but it would seem the current owners have definitely got things under control. It is situated on the Marlow Road, so it is not hard to find.

Food absolutely excellent. Atmosphere excellent. Wine and beer excellent. Service excellent. Price excellent! We had travelled to Windsor from Spain to spend a few days there, but we were getting a bit tired of the food and then someone tipped us off about the Black Lion, so we jumped in a taxi and went out to Bourne End. The journey was well worth it. To start, we had traditional pork pie with a really tasty salad containing pickled walnuts. It was so good that we had another serving before moving on to the main. Two of us had roast beef and one the roast pork. The meat was succulent and tender and the vegetables were al dente. The pub has a good range of real ales and a great wine list, with top-notch wines at retail prices. The service was akin to something that you would find in a fine dining restaurant. Andre is essentially a maître d' cum sommellier and looks after every detail. The local people were extremely friendly and the pub is great with children.

Had a meal with some friends. Beer is well kept and a good selection. Pie and chips was great. Fire crackling away in the corner making a cosy environment.

Haven't been into the Black Lion since it changed hands a few years back but what a difference to the place under its new ownership.The pub has been refurbished and looked more cosy and we had a friendly welcome.At the back they have put in a fantastic outdoor seating area with a table soccer area.It was quite busy and the new owners seem to have breathed new life into the place.The Sunday Lunch Menu ( see attached menu photograph) is fantastic value at £8.95 for one course and £9.95 for two courses. We had the Crispy Peking Duck with Thai Sweet Chilli sauce for starter followed the roast lamb with yorkie pudding, roastie toasties and seasonal vegetable medley which included Cauliflower with Cheese sauce.The food was served hot, was nicely presented and tasted delicious.Washed down with a pint of Rebellion IPA from the local Marlow brewery.Overall a well priced ,tasty Sunday lunch that hit the spot!

We have been there twice now. Food is good for the price. Nice friendly service. Typical local, independent pub.

I am a regular visitor to this lovely country pub, the reasonable pricing drew me in and the great food and friendly atmosphere kept me coming back! The roast in particular is a favourite dish of mine. The service is always friendly and welcoming, and if you're a fan of wine you'll realise the wine list is simply superb. Great place to bring family and friends and have a drink or a game of pool.

We called 20 mins before arriving to see if they could accommodate 4 of us for a late roast lunch, we were so grateful that they did, we sat in the window. Food arrived quickly and looked great, with perfect portion sizes for children. The topside of beef was delicious and lamb equally good. Roast potatoes were hot, crisp and fluffy inside and side veggies were fresh and full of favour. We would definitely recommend for the food, good service and great value at £9.95 for two courses (£6.95 for children).

Good little place to stop off and have a quiet drink, watch the rugby etc,etc Foods not up too much, not up to much either, that's not the point! Stop and have a try?

This is a traditional country pub with smashing grub! It is extremely good value and the quality of the food superb. The roast dinner was a choice of beef or pork and came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, swede mash, green beans, and carrots.- all cooked to perfection and costing under £8. Two of us had a children's mini-roast, which was slightly smaller and on a small plate, but still a hearty meal for around £6.50. The chocolate fudge cake was such a generous portion we divided it for two slimmers!. With two drinks and two coffees and a starter of breaded mushrooms instead of a main course, the whole meal for four was £32. There is a snooker table in a separate room and a welcoming coal fire. There is a large car park at the back. Well worth a detour when in the Marlow area and the locals are very lucky to have such a pub on the doorstep.
