The Black Lion Inn

We hadn't made a reservation, we'd walked over from a nearby village. At the bar we tried to order food and were told they couldn't take food orders as they had a large table coming in in half an hour. We asked if we could order light things that would be cooked before the table arrived? The girl serving us went to say yes but looked at the grumpy man also serving behind the bar and changed her mind. Apparently there were other tables in the restaurant that were eating? We could order food but there would be an hour's wait. Meanwhile another family ordered chips. We asked if there would be an hour's wait for chips? There wasn't. Which sort of emphasised my point about ordering quick things that wouldn't take long to cook? We asked to order chips and cheese? Grumpy man tells girl serving behind the bar (ignoring us) that they have run out of cheese. Our chips come to our outside table, brought by grumpy man who informed us there were ketchup, vinegar and cutlery by the bar but he can't bring them to us as he has to change a barrel. Finished our chips with one drink each and left. Maybe grumpy man was having a bad day, we're all human. He did seem to want to turn away business though.

Best stay I’ve had in a long time. Amazing welcome and service from John and the team. Couldn’t recommend enough and will visit anytime we’re passing 10/10

Dogs are aloud to sit outside under the covered terrace, but are not aloud inside. Great place and great location.
