  “I’ve just got home from an amazing night at the lion! Amazing people running it! Have made it into a really welcoming pub with great atmosphere! I had the rucola pizza which was unbelievably amazing with generous toppings and great pricing! karaoke event was 10/10 with everyone joining in so friendly will definitely be returning to try out there roast made by one of the best chefs! Cannot think of a bad thing to mention! Toilets clean, service was quick and staff friendly and helpful! Above all the people make it so great in there! Love love love what they’ve made of this pub! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

  “Very warm welcome to the newly reopened Lion! Aspalls on tap which is wonderful to see. Although we didn’t eat, the pizzas coming out looked phenomenal and we will be back to eat soon.”

  “The staff were absolutely brilliant and attentive from start to finish. Our youngest was tired and grumbling, and without hesitation they offered to do chicken nuggets — not even on the menu. Our eldest ordered a burger, and about ten minutes later a member of staff came over to apologise: it had been burnt and they weren't willing to send it out in that state. That kind of honesty and pride in what leaves the kitchen is rare. The two ribeye steaks were cooked perfectly, exactly as requested. The pub itself is clean and tidy with plenty of room inside and out. Food is fairly priced too — four meals and several drinks came to around £110. We'd happily return. Perfect for families.”

  “We popped in to the Lion on a Friday night for a couple of drinks and some food with family. The team were brilliant, so funny and provided a great service, and the food was delicious. We'll definitely be going back next time we're near Earls Colne.”

  “I had an enjoyable lunch here with my family over the bank holiday weekend. The pizza was light with fresh tasting ingredients and the chips were really excellent and home made. The staff were friendly and accommodated my slightly excited toddler no problem. The only small downside was the draughty door which took away some of the cozy vibe. Otherwise we are looking forwards to coming back again and trying more of the menu.”

  “Mothers Day Sunday Roast was a real treat. 10 of us booked in for lunch and so pleased we picked the Lion. Everything was tasty and well presented. Proper Yorkshires, crispy roasties and tasty gravy complimented the rest of the meal. Jazzy background music created a nice vibe.”

  “We had the Lion on the radar for quite a while and eventually had a lunch break long enough to pop over and visit! We got there pretty much as soon as it opened, so no problems getting a table. The restaurant is quite nice looking, got a good feel about it. When getting to order there was a fair few items that were unavailable, but we settled on the fixed menu which seemed quite reasonable (£15 for two courses / £18 for three). Starters of Mushroom soup and Ham terrine - both really tasty. Mains were chicken burger for the wife (chicken was a bit on dry side) and burger for myself (which I ordered with Stilton but was told after ordering they had none!) The meal portion sizes were good, not too large or small. Over the course of our time, the restaurant got gradually busier - which was surprising for a midweek lunch! We would try this again at some point, and we thought it was fairly reasonable for what it was.”

  “Very happy with our visit Monday night! The food was lovely. Good choice and plenty of veggie /vegan choices. The building itself is lovely and the decor is really up to date. Service great, staff friendly. Dog friendly too! Couldn't fault it! We will definitely return.”
