  “Excellent! I came for Sunday roast with a friend. The kitchen and bar staff were excellent at accommodating gluten free alternatives. Nalin, the chef, made sure everything was perfect. Great atmosphere and great service. And I’ve just returned after the refurb and the place looks great!”

  “Truly so impressed and thankful for this local gem! I’ve never had a bad meal at The Black Lion - in fact the food is exceptional with a wide variety on the menu, there’s something for everyone. Last Friday we were served by the most charming barmaid and so thankful for her recommendations, personally having tried the incredible sausage roll and tomato soup - so glad we ordered these! Both fantastic. It does an incredible roast and really enjoy the quiz and the live music too. Look out for the renovation coming soon! We’ll be back thank you so much Black Lion team. Really good work!”

  “Visiting our children who share a flat nesrby we were seeking a pub that was dog friendly had good grub and decent beer/wine. What a great find this place is in an ideal location & walkable. We will definitely use the Black Lion again when visiting. Great staff, really efficient, friendly and engaging.”

  “Lovely place if you are looking to not go into central London. Was really busy but could still have conversations with the rest of the group all night. Food was outstanding and the service even more so. We had a few allergies in the group and they were very accommodating with our food order. Highly recommend!”

  “we had a really bad experience here. first off the food portion is small as you can see in the picture, that is a 7.7 pounds sausage roll. Secondly, the bartender is very condescending and rude to us. There was no line and no reason to be stressed. However, he seemed very annoyed that I asked how many pieces the fried chicken are and where the bathroom is. We didnt feel welcomed here.”

  “A special thank you to Bruno for always making us feel so welcome! He is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to give us the best table whenever possible. His positive attitude and excellent service create such a great atmosphere every time we visit. Bruno truly makes the experience special, and we always look forward to coming back. Thank you for everything!”

  “Bruno was amazing! We were visiting on vacation, and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. We were looking for a place where we could enjoy great food and drinks while watching England World Cup match, and the Black Lion exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere, service, and hospitality made it one of the more memorable experiences of our trip. We can’t recommend it highly enough!”

  “Ordered the fish and chips. Was mediocre at best, batter was plain. Got a gin and tonic double because there was a promo for 7 quid, but found I was charged 16.65 for it. I was puzzled so I asked them about it, they said the promo was for a single shot G&T, and since I ordered a double I had to pay the original double shot G&T price. Seriously? Couldn't they have just charge it as 2 single shot G&T?? They refused to do anything about it so yea.. no service recovery too”

  “Absolutely stunning pub with an amazing athosphere. Booked for a group Christmas work event on a Friday night so had the pleasure of having live entertainment, which was so good and took the atmosphere to another level! Jose and team were attentive from our initial enquiry right through to when we left in the evening. We had a specialised menu to cater for all our needs, which tasted great, was a very generous portion and worth the money. Definitely 10/10! The table decorations and the attention to detail made it a special, festive evening. This was my first experience and I will most definitely be returning!”

  “Visiting The Black Lion for the first time, I was initially sceptical about whether the food would live up to the glowing reviews. After trying the Sunday roast, I can confidently say it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The lamb was full of flavour, the portion was generous, and it was excellent value for money. Although the fish was unavailable, Hannah was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable and was able to recommend an alternative dish, which was thoroughly enjoyed. Dessert took it to another level and was the perfect finish to the meal. The atmosphere and food were outstanding, but it was the service that truly set the experience apart. We’re already planning our return — thank you!”
