  “Need to change this previous review as new manger/cook has a big attitude issue. Waited over an hour for food on a Sunday, after watching food go elsewhere and seeing how the manager/cook was "busy" chatting with "firends" at the bar we cancelled the order. He was not happy and said the food was ready. The food he claimed was "ready" was actually "stone cold" and was sent back, we settled the drinks and we left. For a beer a nice place for food avoid, at least until they change their approach.”

  “My partner and I went to the blue lion for a family meal last week and we were shocked at the amazing service and attentiveness from our waitress Ella. She was very friendly and professional and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Reasonably priced and free parking, we will be back! Thank you Ella and blue lion.”

  “Popped in for a quick drink on Easter Sunday having visited the Blue Lion before and since most recent ownership change. Atmosphere was relaxed in the beer garden with friendly table service. The Blue Lion is dog friendly outside and there were plenty of other visitors with dogs - fresh water bowls were provided to each table. We didn't eat but the food coming out looked tempting. This pub has changed quite a lot over the last few years and is well worth a visit if you haven't been for a while.”

  “Blue Lion is the best pub in Baddow. The food and hospitality is always spot on. The owners are so friendly and make you feel so welcome. To top it off, the food & drink served here are brilliant. We had the roast beef sandwich which was awesome. Lovely bread, lovely chips, lovely coleslaw and portion size and price were 👍”

  “Went to the Blue Lion for our daughter's birthday as a group of 10 people. As we booked before hand the pub had our table already layed out for us in a nice area away from the main bar where people were enjoying a good pint and watching the football on the TV. The staff were very attentive and friendly... and the food was cooked quickly and was very tasty and the portions were large so go with a big appetite if you go there to eat. Would highly recommend this pub for both the food and also if you just want to go for a drink. Thanks guys... we will be back again soon.”

  “Popped in on recommendation from friends & we certainly weren't disappointed. Exactly the sort of local pub Great Baddow has been so desperate for. The burgers were cooked to perfection - the charcoal infused bun giving them the edge on everywhere else selling a burger. Very good attentive service, particularly good attention paid to covid safety. Chose a Chardonnay which was very good and not oaky which is a plus for me ! Congratulations to the new owners - I'm sure if they continue to be a cut above the rest, it'll be a hugely successful local. Give them a try yourselves.”

  “Brilliant pub, recently came under new ownership and really turned the place around. Prices can be a bit high, but the food is absolutely wonderful. The menu changes every so often with the season but always hits the spot. Lovely beer garden that's dog friendly too. Easy to book a table by calling too. Staff are really friendly, helpful, and always on hand.”

  “Fantastic evening at the Blue Lion which is under new management since November 2020. Staff were so friendly, food and drinks were delicious, with a smaller outside menu. The outside garden has been beautifully redesigned, with some undercover seating and had some tables with heaters, which can be requested when booking. Also looks like a great pub garden to go when the suns out. Highly recommend.”
