A couple of us managed to convince our group to try the Black Lion for one of our groups leaving drinks - a couple were a bit unsure, claiming it to be an 'old man's pub'. Well, yes, they weren't completely wrong, but to be honest, I …
Delightful Pub. Visiting from San Diego CA and stopped in with my daughter for a "strengthener" before a trek through Epping woods. Came back for a recovery pint(s). Wonderful experience chatting with the manager and locals. Was introduced to toasties and Splitting the G.
Edit. Returned from our walk 2 hrs later and went from 1* to 5*. Great service on the return. …
The cool atmosphere and the view from the back garden are amazing. Last but not least, the waitress is drop-dead gorgeous for a change, I was beginning to question the hiring process of pubs in England.

Regardless, They still serve the best pint of Guinness I've ever had outside …
Just awful, staff act like they're doing you a favour just by pouring a drink. Need to ring a bell to get service, eventually (There are two bars, they must be busy in the other one. They're not). Bog standard selection of beers, Pub Grub is pretty good though. There are two warning signs not to touch the fire because it's hot.
