The Merrie Lion, Fenny Compton

PS. They also have a 'Fenny' ale which is rather nice and I could drink all night ;)

The Merrie Lion, Fenny Compton

Since reopening this I think is now the best pub for miles around, and believe me we've tried many. Have been for lunch twice - lunch menu has quality sandwiches and hot meals for £5, though meal prices have to go up a bit now due to increasing food prices on the world market.

The owners and staff are very friendly in the right sort of, non-intrusive, way. The kitchen is in the converted barn with the chef(s) on full view from the car park. Not just that, but you know you're going to get a good meal when you're table-served by the chef himself with a proud smile on his face :)))

10/10

Will try the evening menu soon, will post again if anything affects the 10/10 rating.

Congratulations to the owners for saving it from being converted into flats/offices. Long live the village pub!

Two of the bouncers are really nice and have a great sense of humour. One is a complete ignorant t**t. See if you can spot the difference...
