One-time brewhouse, closed for 25 years,reopened on November 24th 2023.

Some of the building dates from the 15th century, with much alteration and re-building since.

The Lion has been lovingly restored by a local family with the hopes of returning it to its former glory as a brilliant British country side pub and we look forward to welcoming you back, either for a pint by the fire in the atmospheric tap room or for a delicious meal with family or friends in our saloon bar. As a free house, we offer a great choice of local beers, with frequent guest beers to try, and carefully chosen wines both from the UK and the rest of Europe. We serve classic British pub food with fresh and seasonal ingredients sourced from East Anglia.
