Adelante, solo quiero que sepas que te amo y extraño a tu amor. Espero que lo estés haciendo bien. Extraño ver tu hermosa sonrisa. Extraño ver a mi hermana pequeña.

Nice atmosphere, Nice pint of Guinness. The pool table is okay but slight roll. The only problem is parking. It's very expensive.

Good location and nice pub. Bar maid had attitude and then later when people were waiting to be served, the lad was in the room off the end of the bar surfing his phone, and she was nowhere to be seen.

We visited. We orders drinks and crisps. Locals stole stuff from the bar in front of the bar staff who ignored it. We Left. It is your pub, and your problem. I’ll be talking to your landlords about your staff and to the SIA about your door staff.

Fairly quiet, friendly staff. Excellent selection of beers, ciders and spirits. Live sports and pool for those who enjoy. The Lion was immaculately clean and well decorated and maintained. I commend the bar staff! I'd recommend The Lion!

A good mix of students and older people. Prices are very good, staff are very good and hard working. It's clean, the toilets are spotlessly clean and there's a good sheltered smoking area out the back.

Really nice traditional pub! It was quiet when I went in but I can see it being a popular place at peak times. The staff were really nice and friendly, very welcoming. They have some TVs which were playing the football. I also noticed a pool table at the back which is a big bonus. Would visit again for sure.

Been to this pub many times and today was totally different. After having a lovely meal down the road at Diego’s, we thought were pop into this pub for a few after dinner drinks. As soon as we walked in the older lady with red hair behind the bar was incredibly rude. One of our party went straight to the bar to order a drink whilst the rest of our party popped to the loo whilst deciding. The way this most sophisticated and clearly very classy lady with red hair announced to the patrons of tonight’s adventures that we had to leave because we hadn’t ordered a drink within 4 minutes of entering the premises obviously made us very uncomfortable…with the vast majority of the locals now staring and looking at us. She came to tell us to order or get out, immediately after stating we were unhappy with her attitude therefore shan’t be ordering anymore drinks she goes to get her ‘reinforcements’ (other patrons) who came to chat with us and unfortunately for our sophisticated friend they totally understood our point. Resulting in us not leaving immediately rather finishing the one drink we managed to buy before being shouted and screamed at. Moral of the story don’t go here unless you walk straight to the bar and order a drink don’t you dare decide or think about what you would like to drink! The Sophisticated and very classy lady with red hair really needs some personality and customer service training.

Went on Wednesday around 20:00 the person behind the bar was eating food & said when I've finished eating I will serve you this was followed by them muttering to themselves who do they think they are. After eventually being served, not only was I served the wrong drink, I told to wait again & ask again once everyone had been served

An amazing little pub in the centre of town that still retains the feel of the much missed local pub. Great staff, great food, good selection of beers, wines and spirits and entertainment provided on selected nights throughout the week. Brilliant doorstaff at weekends, garden accessible from the pub for use in all weather. If you haven't visited, take the opportunity to check out The Lion! Edit: sad to say the management of The Lion has been handed back to the brewery, who are changing this traditional local into a chain venue. I hope some of the character can be retained, only time will tell! Wishing the former management, Angus and Tracy, all the very best with their new venue a few doors down. They will be missed, so I truly hope the brewery and new management will try and make sure The Lion loses none of its character and family feel Update December 2022: Pleased to say that the new management are both experienced and working hard to make The Lion into a successful venue, whilst retaining the character and feel of the local pub it used to be. Wishing the new team all success!!

Really unprofessional! Wasn’t allowed into the lion because I was too “drunk” I would completely understand not being allowed in if I was drunk and not able to walk however I hadn’t even touched alcohol I was driving. The bouncers on door started to talk to each other and try and justify their actions after they realised that I was the sober one in our group. Really unbelievable!

We stumbled across this pub after watching Rocky horror at the mayflower. We were a hen party of 8. As soon as we walked in we were immediately welcomed. The staff were friendly and service was quick. We were supposed to eat in the curry house next door but was having such a good time we didn’t want to leave. The landlady said we could order fast food and eat it in the pub so we took her up on her offer. In the evening they had a DJ and we danced the night away. Thank you for a brilliant night!!

Vine aquí con unos amigos después de ver un partido de fútbol. Tenían música de Northern soul / Motown, lo que siempre es una buena señal. Para nuestro grupo de variados bebedores, la elección de las bebidas fue más que aceptable. Todos tenían un precio razonable. Pasé unos minutos hablando con el propietario, un buen hombre tratando de hacer un buen pub. Recomendado.

DO NOT COME HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I don’t ever give bad reviews but I came here with my mum and this was the worst food we’ve ever had. I had American style pancakes and what I got served was an absolute atrocity. I would be too ashamed and embarrassed if I had made that and wouldn’t dare serve it up to a customer let alone charge money for it! I just would not do it! The whole thing had evidently been microwaved which made the sauce taste disgusting, the pancakes looked store bought (looked nothing like the picture on the menu) and the cream tasted out of date!!! My mum didn’t like her baguette either and said she felt sick a couple hours later so clearly hygiene standards are not being met to say the least…. I could cook better than this, I don’t really ever give bad reviews but the food was embarrassingly disgusting and we will never come here again.
