Deeply unimpressive. On our visit recently on a lunchtime, it weas clear that all the old regulars have obviously jumped ship (car park pretty much empty and remained so). Whilst the food itself was not bad (TBH, no better than previously; "anonoymous (sic)" who posted the blah about working with Ramsay is clearly a new chef at the Lion and really shouldn't flatter themselves) the service was AWFUL and the general upkeep of the pub appalling. There were still posters up for Valentines a week after the event, fag butts overflowing at the front entrance bin, blackboards shoddily written etc. To be honest, we thought the place was still under temporary management, such was the bleak, unloved feeling about it.
We had mains for lunch, wanted sweets and more drinks but weren't asked and were then just presented the bill (only just gone 2pm). Quite clearly the girl wanted to be doing other things! Sadly, a once great pub now very much best avoided.

This is an awesome real ale pub, plus they brew Orange Wheat Beer, which isn't actually made by humans but by angels instead. Cool pub, good beer in an otherwise pretty grotty town.

All been said already but this here is probably one of the finest examples of a British pub with real ale you will EVER see. Fat Cat, we salute you!

Quality pub- recently taken over by the guy who had the White Horse in Withersfield (when it was good) Nice atmosphere, pub been done up in lighter colours, makes a real difference. They do lush mussels and Bernies Big Grill at �14 or therabouts is worth a look if you're famished as well. Shame it's only Greene King beer available on bar at the mo...Worth rininging them if you are looking for eats, cos it's only small and seems to be always rammed since it's been done up. Well worth a visit

A quality pub for sitting out in the summer cos of the smart beer garden. Worth a visit when their beer festivals are on. Always keep good ales in good condition.
Good menu now, food always top notch, changed hands about a year ago and place seems to be run properly now. Dog friendly in the bar- when we went, the landlady gave us Bonios for our hounds free!
Nice staff, almost all fairly young including the landlord/lady but really friendly service without being OTT. Not as stuck up as it used to be, more like a proper pub.

This is a genuinely decent boozer offering a choice of three or four real ales at any one time and all well kept, too. Always kept clean on any visits we've had, offer good kids drinks range as well, plus a new kids play area outside to keep all happy. Plenty of garden tables in good nick, with pleasant grounds. Prices are about average and they offer good products. Locals all friendly (that we have encountered!) and there is quite a lovely, convival sort of an atmosphere. Well worth a visit or two!
