Great pub. Great selection of beers and lagers. Friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff, landlady & landlord. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
My favourite pub ! Love it here, great service.
Highly recommend
Set on the top end of Blackfordby near St Margarets Church and school this quaint pub located on Main St was constructed around 1835 making it nearly 200 years old. Is accessable by car with parking to the rear. The Black Lion has a lovely beer garden to enjoy your drinks and meals which they host a variety of both.
The experience was wonderful with staff eager to serve and an atmosphere of your typical village pub. I recommend it and plan to go again.
Lovely, cosy little pub with a great atmosphere. Car park is a bit small and there’s limited parking out front, but the pub is well worth a visit. On certain days, including the day we went, the kitchen is closed but a food truck parks up out back. You can take the food into the pub too. The outdoor seating area is beautiful too. Will definitely be coming back 💕
Our first visit to the Black Lion at Blackfordby; booked for Sunday roast. It was excellent food, hot and so tasty. Too full for pudding Lovely pub, great atmosphere, and the staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, we will be going again. Thank you Paula and staff!
Absolutely lovely pub. We stopped off I here with our 2 little dogs after a walk around the village. What a gorgeous place set in a lovely village. Service was friendly and the hot pork scratching from the bar were delicious! Great pint of Guinness too!
Great little village pub, beautifully decorated. The outside seating area is exceptional. We both had steak, really tasty and well presented. Washed down with an excellent pint of Bass. Well worth visiting.
We booked for Sunday lunch but added a few people on at the last minute. The team weren't phased at all and made us very welcome. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Highly reccomend. We will be back!
June 2023 - sampled the new daytime menu and it was delicious. Very generous portions and super tasty. Great value for money.
Friendly service. We'll definitely be back.
Lovely little village pub. Good selection of drinks.
Great place and very much the new place to go after a walk 🚶 with the dog 🐕 tasty food and a great atmosphere recommend the flat breads
A lovely friendly local pub with a great atmosphere. Had a recent renovation and a food menu added for during the day, hugely impressed, looking forward to spending some sunny days here during the summer. Would 100% recommend a visit here.
Lovely little pub with great outdoor seating area. This is lovely during the summer and warmer weather conditions, however, it's also nice to sit out during the colder months at there are heaters and blankets available too.
The new owner, Paula, is great to know and she is always very helpful and on hand. The staff are very pleasant too.
A great choice of beers and food is now available too.
