We are a travelling flag American. Football team, and when visiting Billingham we looked to have a meal at the end of the day Appreciating we were a large group, I messaged in advance with a list of what we were looking to order to support them in preparing our food - but STRESSED we would have more to order when we arrived When we arrived - we were welcomed but there was a definite air of stress from the waitresses through various requests from the chef to find out things, despite having several days to ask this in messages One of our party was still packing down from game day, but arrived only 10 minutes late - the chef hounded us to know how he wanted his steak cooking - I reiterated we were in no rush, but that I would message him - I was asked 4 more times if he had replied, before being told that the chef would decide for himself that he would cook it medium rare The food list was then brought out to us without even taking an order, and the steak was brought before our friend even arrived! The chef said it couldn’t be kept in the kitchen - so his meal sat on a table going cold before his arrival Because they hadn’t taken our order - we had members of the party without food - and stressed again that we needed to order additional food - we ordered but the food didn’t arrive, after 40 minutes there were missing orders still not brought. When I enquired, the chef was stood at the bar at this point and with an angry face stated “it’s not our fault we didn’t know” The food was acceptable in general, but the chefs attitude towards everything spoilt the day completely, and the stress he was causing the waitresses was clear to see from the moment we arrived

We used to love the food here, not sure what’s happened. We called a few months ago and I was quite disappointed with my steak, it was over done and the fries seemed soggy. Today my husband fancied a mixed grill, he always orders this and as we were close by decided we’d try again. No mixed grill on the menu, as we’d already orders drinks he chose the parmo also garlic bread and onion rings. The parmo was greasy, the onions rings very greasy and I wouldn’t have bothered with serving the 4 tiny slices of garlic bread. I had the cheeseburger which was ok not the best, but yet again the chips were soggy. We left most of the food and went home feeling disappointed. I’m not sure if it’s a new chef but if it is then they need to up the game. We won’t be back!

Very disappointed with the food this afternoon at the lion. We both got one of the Cajun chicken salads which used to come here for as we loved them and we had no garlic bread on our plates and 3 thin burned slices of chicken each. It was absolutely awful. Will not be returning. For two chicken salads a portion of chips it cost £31 and we both left feeling hungry.

Absolutely amazing Parmo, best I’ve had for a long time. I had a half Parmo and that was a decent size. Triple cooked chips done to perfection! 100% I will come back and I can’t recommend the food enough. The chef is the unsung hero out the back, they need a pay rise to make sure they stay at the pub and don’t get poached (pardon the pun) by another pub or restaurant! Service was fast and friendly. The pub and tables were clean and tidy. It was quiet for a Friday evening but, sadly, most places are these days. Definitely go and try the Parmo at The Lion!!!

I couldn't really be fair to the atmosphere because a game of bingo was going on, so it was deadly silent (other than the caller). Food was as decent as ever (only eat parmo). If you're up for bingo and parmo on a early Wednesday afternoon, then you won't go wrong here.

The best Chicken Parmo I’ve ever had! Absolutely lovely, fresh and delicious! Thank you very much. Just one thing, the waitress that served us (little, petit young lady, red/pinkish hair , tied up in a long ponytail) seemed very uninterested and she even ignored us when it was obvious that we needed some assistance and as soon as we made I contact, she quickly dismissed us and walked away. Another customer went to the bar and then she was sent to our table, but yet again, no real customer service, she seems as if she doesn’t want to be there at all. However, we will definitely be back as the food was absolutely amazing. The Beef and Ale Pie was delicious and the gravy just out of this world!

My husband and I accompanied by our two young grandchildren arrived here on a Saturday for lunch. What a good selection, all reasonably priced and very good sized portions. I decided to try the chicken burrito which was accompanied by a side salad, all of which was absolutely delicious and so filling. I still had to pinch some of my husbands home cooked chips as I just could not resist. We all left very satisfied and full, but a little disappointed that we were too full to try a desert. The staff were friendly and helpful and although there are a few t.v’s they were muted so quite a nice atmosphere.

We were looking for a venue to celebrate our son's 21st birthday with family. We no longer live in Teesside but our families do and so we wanted somewhere local to them. Unfortunately, the website was down for maintenance and so we only had Tripadvisor reviews to go by. Most of the reviews seemed to mention Parmos but my husband assured me that the menu was more varied than that. We weren't disappointed. We ordered steaks, chicken wraps, fish and chips, burgers, curry amongst other dishes. We didn't preorder but the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, all served at the same time, all piping hot and well presented. The staff were all very courteous and welcoming. We asked if it was OK to have the birthday cake as dessert and we were provided with a knife and serviettes. We had a lovely evening and everyone was complimenary about their meals and the venue. Thank you to the staff at the Lion. We will be back.

This used to be my go to place for the legendary chicken Parmo. Over the last few visits things have gone abit down hill.Here is an outline of the last visit.Ordered a drink and recieved it in a dirty glass, mentioned it to the server only to recieve a smile.Ordered food and asked for a receipt but this seemed like too much like hard work.When ordering I expressed a food allergy ( cucumber, bit of an odd one but there you go).When the food turned up then offending article was dished up loud and proud on the top.I raised this to the server who just said oh and brought me another plate to scrape the salad onto.I wasnt too happy and even told the land lady who said when would speak to the cook but heard no more.Even though the chicken parmo was ok the brown soggy things you pay extra for are disgusting. Fat soaked chips that I think may be triple cooked but in my opinion if you cook them properly the first time they should be good enough.Try elsewhere first if you prefer something cleaner.

While visiting family we had three meals here in two weeks. Firstly a parmo which we were craving (can't get them where we live) well worth the wait. Half is ample..served with salad and chips. Loved it. We then all went for the Sunday !lunch. Roast pork with fresh veg creamy mash and proper mushy peas. Very nice..all plates were cleared. Lastly the night before we left I had a steak wrap and hubby had the gammon...equally good. Couldn't fault the three visits..service was quick and staff friendly.

Sunday dinner was awful. Nice staff, fast service but the food was horrible. Got served half a plate of mushy peas (which I hate) so asked them to replate without them which they did (very kind of them). Had pork dinner, pork was chewy, crackling was soggy. The mashed potatoes and mashed turnip were the lumpiest I've ever tasted. Three measly roast potatoes, tiny ones. Carrots and broccoli practically raw. Yorkshire pudding was only nice bit. Won't be coming back for Sunday dinner but would recommend the parmo.

Having visited all the main restaurants across the north east (trying different Parmos) we thought we would give this place a try. This was the best parmo we’ve ever tried. Had the perfect amount of béchamel sauce and cheese and was perfectly crispy. To top it off, the chips were also amazing.This is easily the best value for money, tasting twice as good as the more expensive places.Would recommend to anyone, especially the huge parmo fans!

First visit with family so did not know what to expect. The service was good and the staff were well trained, polite, friendly and efficient. Two of us opted for the Parmo with home made chips, was pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions, and it was very tasty and the chips were delicious. The Cottage Pie was also very tasty, we were a little disappointed, due to us all being full to bursting point that we could not try the sponge puddings. We will definitely return.

We visited the Lion tonight for some tea. I had a Parmesan which was lovely, no complains . However, my partner had a beef burger which was completely raw in the middle. They were very under staffed, just one bar man which made it difficult for us to get his attention as he was so busy. We decided to leave without making a scene as beef can be eaten raw and the parmo was nice but if he becomes ill I may feel different about my decision. We won't be eating at the Lion again as you expect your food to be good to perfection when you pay for it. Very disappointing be aware when ordering a burger from here !!!!

Called in 2/07/16 for a late lunch. Staff were all smartly dressed and friendly.Menu has less choice than some but enough to satisfy and so very cheep.The pie today was chicken and mushroom looked home made with lots of filling and the home made chips are enormous a cross between proper old fashioned thick cut chips and roasties you have to try them, the all day breakfast came with two very meaty dense sausages the sort you get from good butchers, if I was going to be picky the toast could have been warmer. £10.00 for two large meals excellent value for money.

had to leave a review as need to show appreciation of this pub.we often go here for tea and are never let down by the food or the service, the staff are always polite and pleasant and we always return as we are never left waiting and never let down by the food.The parmo (Teesside Delicacy) is just the best in billingham by far and the homemade chips are amazing too . Have to rate very high as always satisfied and we always return. Feel it is always important to mention the cleanliness of the bar too. hope this helps anyone decide where to go when looking for a nice meal

Called in for the first time last week, a lively spacious, nicely decorated pub..I had the 7oz rump cooked exactly how I like it..medium rare with homemade chips and salad, hubby had the mixed grill..we enjoyed it that much we went back again yesterday and had the same..and again it was lovely.

Nice place with friendly staff and service. Good choice of beers and wines also selection of cocktails. Menu could give you a better choice but ok for a visit.
