   Really lovely family run pub. If you get chance pop down and enjoy the gorgeous welcoming from the new owners and the great atmosphere.

   Lovely pub, fair price. The staff can't do enough for you. Nice atmosphere, loads of TVs for the football and tasty food.

   Drinks prices are ok. I will say I was a bit surprised about my JD and coke, it came in more what looked like an oversized shot glass. It was a good mix but too small for the price. Staff are really nice and welcoming. They gave me the vibe where you can drink and chat to them, (If you wanted) more so if you are a regular. What I love about The Lion is it screams old classic pub. It has TV for sport and virtual darts which it has kept up with other pubs. I don't know if it just played up when I went there but the virtual darts just didn't work at all. Toilets are nice apart from the cubicle which the lock had broke, what made it worst you couldn't hold the door close as it was too far from the toilet. I've never rushed like that for a while... Luckily for me it wasn't busy. There's no parking but Saintsbury's car park is about 2 mins away.

   Stopped off for a few beers on the way to the Indian Edge (great curry house!) friday night - they had Level Head on draught so we went for a few of those and struggled to work out how the related darts game worked. We kinda figured it out, but it's mainly a drinking game using darts for skill shots (battleships, timed games, etc) Decided to try it for an evening meal sunday. I went for Ham, Egg & Chips - thinking it would be slices of cold ham - but turned out to be boiled gammon. Taste-wise it wasn't as overly salty as you'd expect gammon, but being boiled meant there was no crispy rind (was rubbery fat) and the water that dripped from it soaked into the chips, making them soft and soggy. The peas looked a bit dried out (possibly microwaved) but despite that they were quite sweet. It wasn't a great meal and I heard they were changing the menu soon. We didn't stay for long; it grew loud and rambunctious so we went elsewhere for a more tranquil evening.

   The lion has recently took on new owners and my oh my can I say how much better and modern it is now. The food is outstanding and the staff are friendly and amazing. The atmosphere and location is very calming. TVs everywhere, dart boards and slot machines available and a lovely garden with a large tv too. Dog friendly maybe add! Definitely will be coming back here again! Thankyou to the staff and the chef. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

   Visited on Friday with my husband. We had a fabulous evening enjoyed the music. 2 young girls were serving, extremely helpful and knowledgeable about our drinks enquiries. Spoke to the manageress about other entertainment that she has in place. A very warm welcome and a friendly cheerio. Pub clean, great drinks offers (especially cocktails). Would highly recommend and we shall see you very soon.
