    Lovely pub and hotel in a stunning setting right by the river. Good choice of food - could have eaten everything on the menu. Empty plates all around with filling and delicious food - will be back!

    Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We asked for a quiet table and they provided one even though the place was busy. The food was delicious and all freshly made. Going back again tonight!

    I visited The Lion with family for Sunday lunch. The food was good for all but the vegetarian. The main course was Vegetable Madras with Jasmine rice and naan bread, the Madras was congealed stodgy sweet potato and onions with very little flavour, the rice and bread had obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time. But on a positive the starter of goats cheese was delicious and the waitress was very helpful.
