"Having not eaten here for a couple of years we paid a visit last night with high hopes. Sadly the customer service was somewhat lacking and although the sharing starter was lovely the mains were nothing special, I ended up leaving over half my meal. The waitress was attentive and helpful however, the bar manager ? not so. We asked three times if we could have the fire lit as we were a little cold, finally he came to assist, but was very obviously not happy about it. He then proceeded to butt into our conversation and give his unwanted opinion, correcting me on something I said, apparently the customer is not always right even if they are not talking about anything remotely related to the food or even the establishment! When it came to desserts we were told in a rather belligerent manner that the kitchen had now closed he would have to do them himself. Did we need to know that? We obviously decided not to stay for dessert informed him of this, saying that we ‘didn’t wish to put him out’ his response was quite pugnacious and defensive. Considering how hard it is for the food industry in the current economic climate customer service and quality food should be of utmost importance for any eatery, apparently not at The Lion! We shall not be returning or recommending the place to anyone, but I doubt that the gentleman in charge last night will give a hoot about this."

WOW! Pretty much somes it up! Came as a group of 4. We had pork belly, chicken strips and hallumi to start and was by far some of the nicest food I've ever tasted! Then we had sausage and mash. Gammon. Fish and chips. And a chicken burger... no room for puddings portions are massive! Service was amazing too! 10/10 what a great place! Visualizza piatti

The Lion did us proud for my daughter’s wedding reception, the first large-scale wedding they’d ever done. The staff and management were exceptionally accommodating before, during and after the day: food was superb;room looked fabulous ; everything ran like clockwork. I know my daughter and son in law were overjoyed that they’d chosen the Lion and all the guests had an excellent time

I’ve reviewed the Lion twice before . Once in 2016 poor experience them again in 2017 when I reviewed what a massive change there had been for the better! . Unfortunately we didn’t get to eat that time but I promised we would be back to eat! Sorry it’s taken so long but we finally made it back and we’re not disappointed at all! Really lovely staff, great decor and superb food and service. My compliments to to management and staff -you’re doing a superb job,

We organised a party at The Lion for my parents 80th birthday. Matthew and the team were brilliant from booking the table and organising the event, right through to the service and the food. They couldn’t have been more accommodating and we were quite high maintenance! Everyone enjoyed their food. The pub is spotless, beautifully decorated and warm and inviting on a January day. Thank you again Matthew and the team at The Lion. You are fantastic. My parents had a really lovely memorable day. We would thoroughly recommend for any occasion.

Initially came to the pub to pay my mooring fee and book a table for the evening, but ended up staying 3 hours and returning for dinner! …… A perfectly situated pub for the nearby mooring at Thurne Dyke. The pub itself was tastefully decorated and had a nice feel to it. I was welcomed by Stephen the manager, whose knowledge of locally produced beers was great and I was soon tempted by a beverage (or three . (As a lone traveler it was nice to be engaged with by Stephen, who gave some great insight into beer, wine and food Be sure to tap into his experience when you visit! I returned some hours later for a steak and chips, with prawns and garlic. This was complimented perfectly with a lovely r...

"An exceptionally unique dining experience! Our holiday companion booked Pamela’s for dinner and we were unsure of what to expect, however we were assured of good quality food and a great experience and we certainly were not disappointed. Upon arrival we were shown to a table in the lounge, provided with the menus and ordered drinks. Service is exceptionally professional and friendly from arrival to departure. The decor is most unique and very fun to take in. The upstairs dining room is more casual and I loved watching the chefs in the open kitchen. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Our vegetarian diner was slightly limited for choice and there was a blip with the main course, however it was handled and recovered very well (we were unaware when booking, however we have now been advised to phone ahead a minimum of 24-hours and special meal arrangements can be made in advance for vegetarian meals). The fish cakes and miso Salmon were very delicious and cooked to perfection. The duck legs had crispy skin, moist meat and a tasty accompanying Orzo pasta. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Pamela’s for a delicious meal with 5* service. Vegetarian options: Recommended to advise the restaurant a minimum of 24-hours in advance. There were 2 starters and 1 main course (featuring pasta on all dishes) on the a la carte menu, however if you call in advance then arrangements can be made."

"We booked the rest restaurant for 5:30pm to have dinner (2 adults and 2 young children). When we arrived, the waitress took our name and booking details and asked us to wait until the table was ready. We waited, waited, and waited for the waitress to return 15minutes on, and making conversation with other guests who looked frustrated at also waiting around, we were taken to our table at the back. Our kids were starving, so we immediately placed the order for starters, mains AND drinks together. The drinks were taking a long time to arrive, so my wife gave the kids water from their beaker water bottle. Our drinks arrived after 20mins from ordering, and asking for them twice. The restaurant was quite busy, but we could see that there were lots of other guests trying to catch the attention of the staff members, and could hear arguments on the other end of the restaurant. After an hour, our starters had still not arrived, so my wife asked how long it would be. The waitress said she would go check and come back. After 15minutes, I asked another waitress to give us an update. The waitress came back and said that our starters were being cooked and would be out in 10minutes we sighed relief, and told our kids that food was coming. We realised that food was clearly taking a long time to cook, so said to the waitress to bring our starters and mains together, rather than waiting around we had plans onwards, and it had been over an hour already since placing the order. After another 20minutes, we asked the waitress where our starters were, as she had said it was 10minutes away. This time, a very rude (manager) came to our table and said that our starters were at the back of the queue, as we had asked for the starters to be brought with the mains! This was absolutely pathetic, and we mentioned that our kids were starving, as it had been 90minutes since placing our order. The manager said that this is normal and offered us complimentary prawn crackers (but charged us for the dips, which we later realised). After another 45minutes and seeing other guests arguing about the same issue, we saw comfort that we weren 't the only ones in this mess. Our kids were starving so ate the prawn crackers in a hurry. When the food arrived, it was bedtime for the kids, so we asked for the bill and takeaway boxes. The bill arrived with a 10% service charge and additional cost for the complimentary prawn crackers. I asked the waitress to deduct the 10% service charge and queried the complimentary prawn crackers, and if there was anything they could do by way of discount for the lengthy delay. The rude manager came out and started shouting at us, saying that he doesn 't like families with young children in his fancy restaurant, and he cannot offer a discount as we would be leaving a negative review. I couldn 't believe he was saying this almost bullying us into leaving a positive review! Our kids were crying, so I said to give me the card machine for me to pay using AMEX. The manager said that they don 't accept AMEX, but I highlighted that he 's got a AMEX sign outside the door. Infact, he was using a AMEX wallet in which the receipt came. He was very offensive and said that it 's his business and he can do what he wants photos of the AMEX sign outside uploaded. I would avoid visiting this restaurant and I would suggest Trading Standards look into how this man operates a business very rudely."
