   Unimpressed with the curry and bread and butter pudding. The curry had tandoori monkfish tails which were good but the prawn/potato and spinach curry had half of one tiny prawn, a few leaves of spinach and about 8 potatoes. It was potato curry only. For £22 it was excessive. The bread and butter pudding was I think made with brioche, super sweet, no raisins and no taste. The ´crème anglaise’ served with it was super sweet. Just not what I was expecting..

   Every member of staff gave you feeling they were happy to represent the restaurant. They were all fantastic and attentive with the mission to make our stay for food and drinks as enjoyable as it could be. We ordered steaks, both rump and fillet and the cuts of meat were excellent and cooked just right. Lovely meal indeed, the think cut chips are huge and you get the right amount on the plate. Deserts were the Chocolate Orange fondant and the Baileys bread and butter pudding. Again both excellent. We had a look in the beer garden on leaving and it’s beautiful right next to the bridge it’s a stunning location. If you’re in the area you must dine here.

   I have just written a glowing review for this but it was all wiped out when I checked the 'message the Lion' option. So this is going to be edited highlights only! Very good food, excellent and cheerful service. The riverside garden is beautiful for lunch or a drink. The dining room indoors is unremarkable but the bar is modern and pleasant.

   Decent drinks and delicious food (especially the tomato & basil soup) served by efficient and very friendly staff who made a fuss of the dog. Definitely worth a return visit!

   On a bend of the river Teme overlooking a water meadow with an old stone bridge to the left The Lion is in a beautiful location. Lunch was very good and the service polished. I'll be looking for an opportunity to return!

    I have been to The Lion many times as a guest of my dear friend, the late John Challis (and his wake there was wonderfully done, by the way). Last night I thought I would take my neighbour there, who hadn't been before. The food was wonderful, staff were attentive but kept in the background, and the whole atmosphere was quite perfect. Thank you

    Beautiful setting on the banks of the river teme, under the shade of trees that really helped with temperature at just under 30C. Service was excellent and friendly. The food was very good and our daughters enjoyed the wood fired pizzas. A very relaxing lunch was enjoyed by all.

    The staff were very helpful. We had already decided on our meal choices by looking at the menu on line. Unfortunately that was no longer on the menu when we arrived. The waitress suggested another option after we told her of our dietary requirements. The meal was very tasty, we were not disappointed. The views were amazing, we sat outside. And it was mostly quiet. It started to get busier after we had eaten our meal. We arrived at 1pm. I would recommend the Lion to friends and family.

    The service was friendly and efficient however the quality of the meals was disappointing. We used to regard the Lion as a cut above "pub grub" but this is no longer true. Whilst the monkfish tail curry was passable it consisted of mainly overcooked potatoes. The spinach and prawn curry had hardly any prawn or spinach and the monkfish portion was spartan. I am certain the curry sauce resembled Chinese packet curry sauce. My wife celebrating her birthday opted for ham and chips which was unappealing. We won't be back unless some improvement is made to the food.

    All in all the food was lovely (when it arrived ) I don’t put it down to the kitchen however. The staff were extremely slow despite only seeing one other table of 2 and 3 people at the bar. They kept disappearing didn’t really do a check back on the food had to physically up to let them know we were finished and to get things packed up to go and to get the bill. The food was nice but wouldn’t recommend if you’re hungry as you’ll be there a while and the service just ruined it.

    First time visit to The Lion. Great pub/restaurant in a lovely setting. Service and ambiance was excellent and the food was fabulous. I had the Monkfish Tail with potato, prawn & spinach curry and my wife and son both had the battered hake. For desert, we all had the Bailey’s Bread & Butter Pudding - delicious!!. We will most definitely be returning again soon !

    Loved this place. Staff are nice and looked after us. They were helpful and didnt have to wait long. They knew the menus including drinks and explained any differences. We had the oven pizza and the monkfish curry, a burger and lamb shanks. All dishes were good and monkfish curry in particular was unique enough. Really good service. lovely venue. Places outside to park. Would definately recommend.
