Well kept ales, with a choice of 4. Inexpensive, good quality food, including homemade chips. Despite being part of a bus load of Orient supporters, the service received was efficient and attentive. The pub itself is to be found in an idyllic setting and retains a lot of its original character and is decorated in a sympathetic fashion.
Beautiful local pub, been for lunch today and the whole experience was lovely. The food was amazing and all home cooked, chips are to die for! Lovely friendly service and can't do enough for you! The old man was very complementary of the Bass, gave it a 10/10! Will definitely be back soon ????
We came for mothers day afternoon tea and absolutely loved it, cute little pub nicely decorated and the food was incredible. The service was a little slow but the whole atmosphere made up for that!
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.
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.
Friendly, welcoming staff, service very good ( thank you Henry), good choice of ales ????. We had the Sunday carvery, good portions, good quality, very tasty. Home-made apple crumble also very good. Will certainly 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.
we went to the black lion last night for a meal, I think 16 of us in total.
we all ate including kids and not 1 of us had a bad thing to say about the food or experience.
all the meals were brought out hot and fresh, and as close together as possible.
as a pest controller I can be picky where I eat. this place isn't one of them. and being on my door step (walkable) from home me and the family are going to be spending more time here.
already recommended to my WhatsApp chat of friends who meet up monthly to go and eat.
side note - I had a breakfast here not so long ago and it was spot on.
cheers guys. see you soon
