We were most disappointed with the new menu found it hard to choose anything Plus it’s written on sort if grey paper with the dim lighting could hardly see it. Wanted s quiet space to eat so chose the Thirties Room It had 3 tables I had requested the one by the window but was told to sit on the other one Half way through our dinner a waiter came behind us and pushed the other two tables together and a party of about 7 with young children rocked up Goodbye to our quiet dinner !!!! My partner has to ask for the music to be turned down as we arrived as the speaker was right above our heads We left after our meagre meal I could hardly believe the size of it and the price it was ridiculous We vis...
The food was delicious, but I had to request clean tea cups because the ones provided were dirty and stained. The customer service could definitely be improved; I had to order drinks twice because the bartender forgot my initial request, and I was just asking for tap water. Given that there were over six staff members at the bar, I expected better service. The ambiance in the bar area was also disappointing, especially since it is supposed to be an adult space. There were snobby parents with loud, screaming kids who seemed oblivious to the other diners. Overall, my first visit was not great.
This is a very nice venue, especially so if you can eat outside in good weather. We have been a few times before. There is no obvious check in when you get there, staff busy preparing drinks. This can be improved and most people like me will find this unprofessional and frustrating. It’s not the fault of the staff. They were super super busy. They were very polite but clearly under a lot of pressure. Because it was so busy, service was slow. The quality of the food was above average with really good portions.
The Lion was a fantastic place to find in this small village. A beautiful, historic building with so many original features. The food and the service was exceptional. We ate sundried tomato arancini, King prawn cocktail, rib eye steak cooked to perfection, sea bream , creme brulee and the most exceptional little chocolate honey pot I think I've ever eaten! 3 rounds of drinks all for £100. A very busy place, definitely worth booking ahead. Great tables, inside and out .

I absolutely love the lion! Food was incredible and service brilliant. We brought our dog with us and sat in the restaurant with him. Staff were really accommodating and friendly and atmosphere was nice and cosy! Would recommend to anyone that wants a nice country pub meal in a nice setting!
The waitress was very polite and attentive, the menu offered a great variety of options, and the food was absolutely delicious. There was ample parking available, and the restaurant's decor was lovely.
The beautiful riverside setting and Yiannis the waiter made the experience 5 star. We were looked after so well even though it was a really busy. Food was good, nothing special though.
This is our third visit this year, and once again, the food and service were excellent. There's always a warm and inviting atmosphere as soon as you step through the doors.

We went for a meal on Friday night and had a great time. Our waitress Claire was extremely friendly and efficient and made our night. Would definitely go to the Lion again.
Friendly and very professional staff. Very enjoyable evening
