Nice rural little pub. Loads of rustic character to it, traditional in every way.
Sunday lunch was amazing probably the best I've had in as long as I can remember! Well presented and just the right amount.
Great service and priced properly for what you recieve. 👏
Fantastic meals and service. The best steak pie I’ve eaten in a long time. Staff couldn’t do enough for us . They even apologised for our food taking a long time. As I told them ‘them good things are worth waiting for’ and it was. Everything is home cooked. We will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pre-booked a table for 2 on Saturday evening & was pleased to see the tables were well spaced apart. The staff were all friendly, polite & accommodating.
The menu showed a wide selection for me & a good number of gluten free options for my partner.
For starter, I chose 'Pork trio' (a selection of homemade sausages, sausage rolls and breaded black pudding balls on a bed of mustard mayonnaise)...my partner chose 'Ham hock terrine with gf bread'. Both starters were tasty & plentiful.
For main, I chose homemade 'Steak & ale pie', which was served with thick cut chips, a bowl of seasonal vegetables and a pot of thick gravy (the pie was full of thick chunks of tender beef)...my partner chose 'Cod loin wrapped in pancetta', which was served on a bed of pea & cheese risotto. Again, both meals were tasty (one of the best pies I've had) & plentiful - I had to leave some of my chips.
We were both too full to have dessert...maybe next time, as we will definitely return!
My Fiancée & I wanted to finish our long weekend together with a meal out & she suggested we eat here,
So we booked a table for 7.30 & arrived 10 minutes late……! This wasn’t a problem & we were made to feel very welcome immediately, we given the choir tables as well. The staff were polite & very friendly, the service swift but not hurried - the food was cooked to perfection & we had a wonderful evening.
I’m happy to say we will be returning in the near future to sample much more of their menu, but steak night is definitely beckoning.
Thank you for making our evening a very enjoyable one & we will see you again soon.
Great beer selection. Cask and keg. Food was great. Lovely place. The staff were friendly but apologetic as it took her over 5 minutes to take our order. Not her fault. She was run off her feet. We'll give it another go. Hopefully more bar staff next time. I do appreciate pubs have had a hard time lately, and it's Monday afyernoon. But surely one of the other staff could have helped her. Again, the young lady who served us was faultless.
We had such a lovely time. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming and the staff were polite, attentive and friendly. The young lad who served my parents and I was very well mannered, he knew when to come over to the table and when to leave us to eat and made us feel very welcome.
After seeing the food on Instagram, we were eager to give it a try and we were not disappointed. 100% returning!
Only had a drink as we were out hiking. Plenty of people having food, so it must be good. Very nice interior. Bar maid very pleasant. Good range of drinks.
Nice little hidden gem that is fast becoming my go-to pub when home.
Whether you want to go for a quick drink or a nice hearty pub meal, The Black Lion is the 1st choice.
Dog friendly, great staff, great food and a pleasant atmosphere. What more could you ask for?!
Called on spec the pub was quite busy for a Tuesday, good choice of wine by the glass we had a merlot and Sauvignon. For starters we shared salt an pepper calamari which was excellent. I had steak pie, perfect pie crust, and steak filling, veg wasn’t overcooked and the mash was creamy. My wife had the pea and asparagus risotto which was again beautifully cooked. Couldn’t find room for deserts, however, we will be back.
Absolutely fabulous place. Been going 25 years and the food is always delicious and the ale selection spot on. The staff are always super friendly, helpful and the place is gorgeous and cozy.
