| Since the last owner left The Black Lion, there has been no sense of welcome to families, the so called landlord makes you feel so uncomfortable. I used to visit The Black Lion a great deal before October 2007, when the beer was fresh, as the lines were cleaned on a regular basis and and it didnt taste musky. To be honest I have only been once to The Black Lion since new owners took over and I did have a bad experience, this could just be due to a "one off" but the previous owner did run a much better Public House it has to be said. lucyfrk - 1 Oct 2010 12:22 |
| Roomy village pub just outside the entrance to the tourist destination of Newby Hall. Two tastefully decorated bars, one a standard but comfortable Public with a darts board and a pool table, the other more a formal dining room although it is labelled as a lounge bar. A Jennings tied house with three sets of three pull beer engines, sadly only chilly Cumberland Ale available plus the usual kegs. GL cider and Marston's variety of Smooth are also there. The Cumberland was distinctly appley (acetaldehyde) once it had warmed to drinking temperature, even so Marstons have certainly wrecked what was once a great beer, very sad and disappointing. The food here is very good, a range of prices and certainly good value. Service in the lounge was much more restaurant style than village local. oldboots - 24 Jul 2009 15:38 |
