The food was definitely good, but not outstanding and the service was particularly slow. The prices are very very high for a restaurant that is in a pub and therefore tends to be frequented by people for a special occasion. It may be a lot of peoples first choice for a special meal but for me I found it distinctly average.

The pub used to be part of the Brewers Fayre lot, but was sold around 2 years ago. The food was never that good, but the rebrand has fixed all that. The pub has a nice friendly atmosphere for locals and visitors alike, and there's an obligatory pool table and fruit machines too. There is a variety of different styles of seating and tables, which also includes a beer-garden of sorts (its next to the road!). Well recommended. for a drink or a meal.

A lovely outdoor play area for the children,climbing frame,swings,slide,seesaw and more. Ice creams in the summer and hot chocolate in the winter.

They have some very nice food, portions are usually massive and very well priced. The food has always been really nice when ever I have eaten there and I would certainly recommend to anyone. The pub is split into 2 areas, the lounge and the bar meaning that you can have a quiet meal without having to worry about being hit with a pool cue! They usually only show sports in the bar area and so the lounge is nice if you dont want to watch te football every time you go into a pub.

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.

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.

Claims to be dog friendly, but isn't really…read more We booked in advance and brought a puppy with us. Quickly found that you get moved to a separate area when you have a pet. Not a problem, except that area doesn't get table service. Having to join a queue (which started outside the building) to order when you've booked ahead is very poor. Ordered roast dinners two weeks in a row, and both weeks ended up with no stuffing. We raised it the second time and ended up being brought out two cocktail sausages (?) because they ran out. So, they just thought they'd skip sending out what we paid for and see if we noticed? Although there was no table service in our section, someone was available very quickly to tell us to get our puppy down when he dared to sit up on the bench with me. In a dog friendly pub... in the dog friendly section!? The food honestly wasn't bad, but the rest of the experience was poor. Majority of staff seemed very junior, and there weren't enough of them on shift. The car park is also a mess, with cars regularly parking in the middle, blocking you in - even in spite of the subtle threats of a fine if you don't book your plate at the bar. You'd be better off at a 'non dog friendly' pub and make do with sitting outside, honestly.
