Will Larter left this review about The Lion

No cask beer in this recently refurbished pub. Two rooms, with steps up to the back, and with new floor (veneer, by the looks of it) throughout. Pool table in the back room, and darts boards in both. I had a half of Caffrey's Stout, which was a bit cold, but fairly cheap (£3:30/pint). The constant rattle of pub music aside, it was quite pleasant here.
