Best kept secret in the area. This 16th century pub/restaurant is run by a lovely couple (Dave and…read moreJackie) who make you feel welcome every visit. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around. Sometimes you may have to wait due to everything being cooked fresh to order but it is well worth the wait. Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

With limited time and wanting an atmosphere to catch up together, and also get good food, the Black Lion accommodated is perfectly. Excellent, well balanced menu with plenty of choice. Great service and attentive waiting staff. The bar is also well stocked and comprehensive. All our needs met - and perfect help and support to arrange when we were traveling from afar. Lovely independent location. Why use the chains when there is somewhere as good as this available?! Thank you to the team at the Black Lion.

Its basically an old fashioned village bar. If you picture the pub from Emmerdale with its regular clientele, then you've pretty much got an image of this place in your head. Its very cosy, warm and friendly inside. Despite not being local, I'm never stared at and whispered about by the regulars, which happens more than you might think in this part of the world. They dont sell anything out of the ordinary, but its a decent sized bar with a good selection of drinks to choose from, and as its never really busy, it doesnt take long to get served. A word of recommendation for the bar meals they serve too - they're excellent. Bar meals as you imagine bar meals should be - plenty of choice on the menu, traditional British food, fresh, hot and quick to arrive. Worth a visist if you're out for a drive on a Summers evening or - if like me - you occasionally pass by while you're out walking.

AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.
