James Past left this review about The Black Lion
Not much to add to the previous reviews , a great interior with a good selection of beers. Suffolk County being my pick.

Moby Duck left this review about The Black Lion
An old traditional pub with oak beams and an Island bar serving the U shaped room. There is a piano and advertised was a weekly Honky Tonk night. No less than eight handles on the bar with five in use, though the pub was gearing up for a beer festival starting a couple of days after my visit. Cask beers on were Bass, Oakham Citra, Milton Sparta, Nethergate Suffolk County and Bristol Beer Factory Independence.
Very much the top pub in town.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Black Lion
Looks little different from the other old pubs in the historic centre, but the partly opened-out U-shaped layout is quite a treat. All parts refurbished in a very traditional style so it's difficult to know the age of most features, but the effect is still good. Fine selection of six cask beers from mostly smaller breweries on a total of eight handpumps, but - on a recommendation from a fellow customer - I went for the Bass (£4.70, VG) in the end.
