They hosted our gender party reveal and it was absolutely fantastic!The food table was lovely, many options for our guests who loved every single thing: different types of cheese, biscuits, sausage rolls, pork pies, fruits, rolls, Scotch eggs, dips and specially the chicken goujons. All very tasty and fresh!Everyone felt welcomed by the staff and the drink service was fast and perfect!The pub looks really nice and is dog friendly,They also have the best homemade brownies I have ever ate!To finish we had local made ice cream, it was delicious! And they also have vegan options.I will definitely be back for dinner and Sunday roast!

Service not quick. But the food was excellent. Quality produce well cooked . But the beer was a let down.

Just had Sunday Roast for Mothers Day treat. Wow. It was fantastic. Yorkshire puddings are huge and delicious. Service was brilliant too. A lovely guy called Robert served us and he was attentive, friendly and polite.

Such a shame. I’m a strong advocate and supporter of the on trade and spend what I can in pubs. On this occasion I’m sorry to post a negative review as I know the trade is suffering, but so are consumers and we deserve better. I asked for a pint of Guinness and was served a can - excellent in of itself, but not what I asked for. Our food order took the best part of an hour, despite being quiet. I can tolerate that as I know it’s hard to get staff.But what irked me was my son’s ‘meal’. Pizza and chips chosen from the ‘Smaller Appetites’ menu. The picture will explain everything.My steak was cold but adequate and our group’s other meals were ok. I asked for the pizza to be removed from the bill but the staff refused. And there went the tip. That would have been £10. The pizza cost £5. For a 6 inch frozen wafer of dough with bone dry topping, complimented with SEVEN chips.I’ll continue to support the trade, but unfortunately not the Old Lion in the foreseeable.

Lovely little county pub. We had a lovely meal there. I had the home made scotch eggs to start and they were amazing ! I also had the a couple of points of the pubs own brewed beer old lion ale" I would highly recommend this. I will most definitely be returned here."

We went on Sunday for my husbands birthday. The pub looked lovely inside & cosy. But, as soon as my husband went to the bar & asked to set up a tab he was told abruptly, we don't do that here!! No cask ales either her attitude stank! We were served our meal poorly by a young lad who didn't seem to care! We were half way through our meals & my husband hadn't had his main course. He went to find a member of staff to enquire about his meal, he stood at the bar * the woman (licensee) told him to stand away from the bar! No apology for forgetting his meal! When his food did arrive it was cold & the beef was tough as old boots. He sent his meal back & told them to forget it it, he wasn't hungry now! All our meals were luke warm. The beef dreadful, the chicken dry! The mushroom starter & ice cream were good. My husband & mother complained to the boss!!! at the bar. We were only charged for our starters, dessert & drinks. We have never known anywhere where the staff & the management have been so abrupt, rude & who couldn't care less about their customers ever before. We will never return. I'm not surprised it was practically empty of customers!

The Old Lion has been transformed over the years by various owners. Today it's more restaurant than country pub. I remember it with a pool table which has now been replaced with sofas. There was only a couple of other customers when I dropped in for lunch. It doesn't seem to be the thriving and bustling pub that I once knew when I visited the Midlands in the past.

The pub’s atmosphere was nice, they have a vegan menu, the food is too expensive for what it is(basic and small portions) we also had to wait for nearly an hour to get our food even though it was a very quiet day. FYI members of staff are leaving reviews here to give 5 star.
